Emperor william Expects His Soldiers to
shoot Father or Brother at HIS Bid
ding.
BERLIN, June 1O.-The Emperor
William has made another of those
characteristic speeches of his which
will attract unusual attention and pro-
woke comment It was not intended
for the public ear, and every effort was
made under stringent orders to keep it
from publication, but it has become
known and is now published for the
first time. It was delivered on the oc-
casion of an address to body OF spring
recruits for the army. In the course OF
it the emperor said:
ST warn you, who are mostly young
countrymen, against the social demo-
Gratis. Always remember the oath you
have taken, binding you 70 me. The
Bible says the girl who marries leaves
father and mother and follows her hus'
band 1 say to you, having taken the
oath of a soldier, follow me implicitly,
shooting father or brother without
question or hesitation when ordered
This language startled even the
Young men to whom it was addressed
but was received Win AoyaA OusOua ~
of cheers. It spread like wndnrQ
through the army, and was TAXED
about in all the barracks. Such an ut
terance could not long be kept secret
lint nowhere could it create more ass
tonishment than in Germany.

BURNED TO A CRISP.
Three Trainmen Killed and Six Injured In
the Indian Territory.

Three Trainmen Killed and Six Injured In
the Indian Territory.
PARSONS, Kan, June 10.-The most
disastrous wreck that ever occurred on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas road took
place between Savannah and Frink in
the Indian territory. Three men were
burned to a crisp and six injured, some
of them, it is thought, fatally. The
two engines were totally demolished
and the wreck took fire and thirty cars
were burned
The two freight trains were ordered
to pass at Frink. One of them arrived
at the station ahead Of the other and
the engineer seeing train on the side
track supposed it was the train he had
orders to pass and did not stop for or
ders.
One of the men burned to death was
a head brakeman and the other two are
unknown. The brakeman could only
be identified by the finding of a switch
key on his body.

in the interest Of the laboring man
But the faultinding peoples party
politician says, the laboring man is op-
pressed and we propose to enact laws
which will relieve him from such OPP
preston. This is easy enough to say
in the heat of apolItical campaign,
when no one will be held responsible
for the assertion; but now in the calm
deliberative moments of second thought
the important question comes home to
the thinking members of the peoples
party. as well as TO every member of
every other party, what legislation do
these leaders propose which will effect
the laboring man? Have they any
thing definite to propose? or was their
campaign cry that of a demagogue
seeking voters? The peoples party
had control of the lower house in our
state legislature. Did they even propose
a law in the interest of labor, much
less pass one? There was a great deal
of demagogy in the last legislature,
possibly some in the republican senate,
and a great many bills were in
troduced without the least expectation
upon the part of their authors that
they would ever become laws; but we
ask in all candor what bill did any
member of the peoples party introduce
into the last house which would benefit
the laboring man? Talking nonsense
from the stump for political effect is
very different thing from solving
problems of legislation. 1t requires
but little genius to say that it is desira-
BILE that the condition of the laboring
classes should be improved. The man
who devotes his time to whiting dry
goods boxes, and lives off his poor old
father-in-law, can utter such sentiments
to the queens TASTE" but it requires
brains, skill and craftsmanship tn en-
body into laws such measures as will
promote the interest of the laboring
classes of this great country. If this
new political organization which can
afford to spend the time and money
required to send eight hundred men
from this state, in the busiest season of
the year, to Cincinnati to attend a
political convention, has any definite
legislation which it recommends in the
interest of the laborer, there never
was better time to suggest it to the
public than the present.

sheep Sl.50 and hogs one dollar per
head, and in the cities of Parsons,

head, cattle IS and mules S2S, and that
a raise of % per cent be made on the
average amount of merchants stock
for the preceding year"

A Misunderstanding Scheme.

1t is reported that the state alliance
has arranged to go into the sub-treas-
ury scheme on its own responsibility.
The plan is to establish bank in each
county of the state under the direction
of the local alliance exchange, The
capital stock is to be furnished by
private subscription as in other banks,
except that as far IS possible the sub
scribers are to be members of the
alliance.
In connection with each bank an
elevator or stOrehOuse is to be built. "A
farmer may then dump his grain into
the elevator. receiving for it check
for so per cent Of the value OF the
grain deposited, BY paying a small
percentage for storage and insurance
he will be allowed TO keep his grain in
the depository until such time as he
mag deem it best to place it upon the
market. Corn, wheat, rye, oats, to-
bacco, cotton, silk, castor beans, or
any imperishable farm product, the
price of which is not liable to too great
fluctuations, is to be received at the
repositories and deposit checks issued
on so per cent of its value.
The amount of grain deposited in
this way must not exceed the
amount of stock subscribed for the
bank. For example, if the capital
stock of the bank is half a million, the
value of grain deposited in the ware
house must not exceed that amount,
while the deposit checks will be limited
to S4OO,O 900.
Leaving out of the question the
absurdity of poverty stricken and down
trodden people, such as the alliance
members represent themselves to be,
going into banking on such a scale,
there is an element of righteousness
in this plan. While a sub-treasury
scheme finds its only excuse for being
in abnormally low prices for grain it is
proposed to start this while grain is
higher than for years on account of the
Mckinley law and other causes. The
result will be that those going into the
Wild game will find themselves fleeced
of their investment. Not only is the
wisdom of a sub-treasury scheme of
any kind minus quantity but with
prices as they are now and are likely
to remain is simple foolishness.
