ANOTHER WRECK.
A Bad Collision Between Illinois Central
and Burlington Trains.

and Burlington Trains.
CHICAGO, Sept. GA collision be.
tween Burlington suburban train and
an Illinois Central excursion train al
Eighteenth street and Kenzie avenue
resulted in the death of five people and
the serious injury of dozen Others,
three Of whom will probably die.
During the day the Illinois Central
had run an excursion to the end of their
line, the orphan asylum at Addison,
ILL.,, and it was this train which, while
1blocked" in the outskirts of the city,
waiting to be released, was crashed into
by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
suburban. Engineer Dixon, of the Bur-
lington train, claims that the rear red
lights OF the Illinois Central train were
burning so dimly as to afford him no
warning of their presence. Other re-
ports have it that the Burlington train
was behind time and running at a reck-
less rate. Conductor Darlington, En-
gineer Dixon and a brakeman Were ar
rested, but no statement could be OBJ
tanned from them further than. the as
sertion of Engineer Dixon that he saw
no red lights until he was upon the ex-
cursion train.

Important Traffic Agreement Made Form

ST. PAUL, Sept. 24.--A meeting Of
more than ordinary importance was
held in the offices of the Great North
ern, brainy triumvirate participating.
The triumvirate consisted of Traffic
Manager Shelby, of the Great Northern;
Traffic Manager ]. v. Mahoney, of the
Sioux City and Northern, and Traffic
Manager G,p-ge w. Hubbard of the
Pacific Short Lac, and the object of the
meeting was to sign traffic agreement
between the three lines. This was prol
erly done, creating
A New and Important Route
between the Southwest and the North
west, which will result in diverting a
not Insignificant volume of traffic from
its old time channel through Omaha
and Chicago.

relation TO the commercial prosperity of
st. Paul, the Pacific Short Line is addi-

THE AMERICAN MIDLAND.
A New Air Line to BE Built From New

A New Air Line to BE Built From New
York City to Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Another great
trunk line is to be built from New York
to Chicago. 1t is to be known as the
American Midlapd road, and it to begin
at the terminus of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey in Jersey City. 1t will
run across New Jersey and traverse the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania,
and will then pass through the bitumi-
nous and oil sections of the keystone
state. 1t will cross and exchange busi-
ness with sixty roads now in operation.
The route selected is 100 miles shorter
than the Pennsylvania and 200 miles
shorter than the New York Central,
and will be the shortest road between
New York and Chicago. An express
train will make the runs between these
places in eighteen hours.

THE SIOUX MILLENNIUM.
A STRANGE CRAZE EPIDEMIC
AMONG THE INDIANS.

They Expect the Coming OF the Great
Split Who VIII Destroy the white
Man and Replenish the Earth with
Game i'm Abundance.
PIERRE, s. D., Sept. 90. The great
Indian council of the Sioux nation,
which was called Saturday night, lasted
until the close Of Sunday, up Bad river,
some fifteen miles from this city. It
was more in the order of great revival
meeting, as all the tribes are now
greatly stirred up over what they be-
ieve is the coming Of their great spirit to
complete pos ;ession of their minds, and
visit them. This idea seems to have taken
their time is mostly spent in dancing
and other ceremonies and waiting for the
great event. White visitors were ex-
clnded from the Bad river powwow, bnt
from gentleman named w. }. Tomp-
kins, who has just returned from an ex-
tended trip to every agency and camp
among the Sioux, some interesting facts
are learned. He says emissaries had
been there recently from tribes up in
!. Montana, filling them up with stories of
the coming Christ.
He Is Expected Every Day.
He is to cover the earth with another
great stratum of soil some thirty feet
deep, covering up everybody but faith
full, good Indians, who will manage to
squirm through to find the new earth
covered with grass waist high, buffalo
and other wild game everywhere, plenty
of wild horses will he roaming around
and not a paleface will be seen; in other
words, the Indians viii prevail. Those
who have faith in the new fad think
they must dance for hours at q stretch,
until they fall down and are dragged
out for others to take whirl Tomp-
kins says he was we'll treated, and that
there is no hostility among the Indians,
they seeming to think that the utter de-
struction of the whites will be accom-
plished entirely through Divine media

own CURRENCY, issued bonds and al
lowed citizens to issue bank notes on
a pledge OF it's bonds, which bank
notes the citizens who received them
lent, as bankers, to other citizens. In
the other Utopia, instead of paying
itsdebts, Or issuing large promises to
pay, called bonds, government issued
small promises to pay, called treas
ury notes.
On the other hand, in our Utopia
the government did pay it's debts
and put the money in circulation by
so doing. If it owed a postmaster
81 900 it paid him in the money
that the other Utopia would have
given to a National Banker to have
loaned over counter to have crea-
ted a debt instead Of paying off one.
But Mr.. Advance-Sun would say
"Why, Doc. the bills themselves
(greenbacks) are a "debt"-a prom
Use to pay!" And we reply, certainly,
but no more SO because they are di-
rect government issues than when
they are National Bank bills! In
that respect-as to the reading OF
the bill, they are alike. It is the
method of issue that is outrageously
different.
The Advance tries to mix up
"bonds' i'll the matter. The bonds
have nothing to do with the ques-
tion-nor with the money. Bonds
havenothing to do with the National
Bank fraud. Bonds are solely re-
lated to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES purchased
by them-were issued before a Ma
tional Bank bill appeared. And now
two bills are before congress to tie
up silver and gold in bank vaults
and let the banks issue these N. B.
bills in their place-so that every
dollar Of currency shall exist only as
bond loans-every dollar represent a
mortgage! Do silver and gold nov
represent a mortgage debt?
The Advance continues:
In both cases.. after the issues oil
bank notes in one and treasury notes
in the other had reached 81 500, OOO,-
900, an order came from 1.-THE Con
servator of the universe to have
every debt paid by. Tomorrow al
nine o'clock" GREAT WEST asks
how much currency will be founl
ahoat in each. Utopia after that or
der is executed, and it answers thai
not a dollar in one, and every dollar
issued in the other, would still b.
out.
!, The Juggling consists in not re
curing government to pay it's debts
Have the decree Of the ''Conserva
tor" executed in both Utopias by tn
governments, by the payment Q

there would be the same amount G
naoney among the citizens Of both.
Now that last statement is heroi,
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-07-04
The Advance man is full OF gall. Let

The Advance man is full Of gall. Let
us see.
1st Utopia. The money is now
all in the banks because the private,
personal, individual, mortgage-se-
cured, note-endorsed debts are all
paid. No money is in circulation
not one dollar and $500, 600, GOO of
unsatisfied interest is still due the
Shylocks because there was money
enough to pay only the original prin-
cipal. All the bills now lie in the
bank.
Don't the government still owe the
National Banks the face of every one
of those bills? Certainly-the gov
eminent is held to pay money OF
Esome kind for every dollar in those
banks. Yes, it has bonds for secur-
lily.
2. Utopia. Every debt is paid
emo interest unpaid either.) But in
stead of all the currency being in
banks-of-issue, or in the government
vaults, it is in the avenues of trade
every dollar oft!
But now, as in Utopia No. 1, the
government owes for these bills, says
the Advance. "The government has
not paid it's debt" Precisely, nor
has the government paid it's debts in
No. 1! The two systems are alike in
that respect.
ooh, but the National Bank bills
are secured by bonds,!'
All right, secure the others by
bonds too, if you want to. 1t is
merely a transfer from paper to pa
per-only the most awful crime was
perpetrated in the present system.
For paper greenbacks bought the
bonds-at 80 and 4Oc. on the dollar,
when ten billions of bonds were
sought by the people at par (seven-
thirty low denominations So the
paper greenbacks buy paper bonds,
at 60 per cent INTEREST (discount);
paper bonds are issued again as pa
per bank bills; and paper bank bills
are ''protected' or secured by the pa
per bonds-and the National Shy.
lock takes interest on every side OF
the paper triangle, greenbacks,
bonds, and bills!
And then they shout 'shoot that
rag baby" And then the patriotic
banders lie like periured pirates
and swear that their profits were
TX per cent, when the profits of
the National Banks OF New York
City last year were 3O3 per cent of
their capital-and OF every clearing
house city in the nation not less than
100 per cent!
And we will observe right here,
that if this satanic crime is not
stopped speedily blood will flow in
every street in these fraud-built
cities!
We are not scolding the Advance
in this ''arabesque," but the Bank
ers' Association which issued the
SBuell Circular" Now some men i'm

On or For
The Red Wing Advance-Sun is off
on a new lark. It has now concluded
to let the question at issue between
us go fishing while it enlarges on
the relations OF two words, ION" and
''for" to national banks. 1t grows
mysterious and tragical as follows:
! "Now GREAT WEST talks some old
fashioned sense. With the words
which we add in brackets it tells the
whole story, and kills the interest
bearing money humbug dead as a
door nail.
eff the editor loses money out OF his pocket
which his uncle wied to him, or his debtor paid
him, [no matter what sort OF money it was,1 he
pays no interest on it after oss nor is his house
and lot sold on mortgage on that lost money.
II he borrows money of a bank and loses it mo
matter what kind of money he borrowed he
pays interest on it just the and his lot will
be ''forecosed" on the lien "just the same
So far, SO good; interest must be
paid for, not on, borrowed money,
even if it be lost, just the same for
coin as for bank notes.
Next let GREAT WEST admit this
other simple truth, that if the editor
borrows, no matter what sort OF
money, and the note is lost instead
OF the money, the borrower will not
have to pay interest, nor principal,
nor lose any mortgaged property for
not doing SO.
This truth goes with the other and
shows that the interest is not on the
money borrowed, but on the obliga-
ton given for the money borrowed,
as we have said before
All of this we freely admit without
charging a cent. Butsuppose Mr.. Red
wing bores a hole into the empyrean
blue of it's cerulean intellect and dis
covers that when the United States
government issues a bill (''note' us
called by the Red Wing Advance) the
government is the maker OF the note.
But when the money is issued over
the bank counter of the National
Bank the poor devil who borrows
the money is the maker of the real
n0te-the note on which the interest
is paid and secured by mortgage.

we have contended for. When the

The Morris Sun, in summing up the
work accomplished by the Fifth Dis
trict Farmers Alliance Convention
at Fergus Falls last week, at which
the body made a nomination for con-
gress, has this to say:
"What we want here is, a long pull
and q strong pull, and pull all to-
gether, to get away from the politi-
cal tricksters; to get some Legislation
for the people, and if the farmers will
lead In this, they will have thous-
ands Of followers who are not farm
ers." Hastings Democrat.
The Granite Falls Alliance de-
clares by resolution that all duty of
farmers to trade with local mer-
chants is absolved by their joining a
Merchants Protective Agency of
Chicago. And they decline to pur-
chase any more goods of them until
they publish uniform cash pricelist,
so that they may know whether the
cash man is not paying for the losses
made by delinquents.. Good idea
that.
The resolutions were sent us by j.
j. Mooney, Sec'y, and are crowded
out by accident tais week.
