Mr. EDITOR Seven thousand miners
are out in this State for the eight hour
work-day. 1t is reported here that two
operators'have gone to your State and
Virginia for colored men to work in
the mines here. If the colored men of
the South could see through the miser-
able homes of the colored miners here,
not one of them would come to such
slave-pens as we have here.

THE ex-Treasurer of Philadelphia
John Bardsley, has been confined in a
cell, as common felon, for stealing
the money Of the Quaker City and
using 1t IN his private business. His
punishment IS just. But it would seem
that there are some other men in Phila-
delphia who ought to be punished for
carelessness if for no graver crime.
How it can be possible for a city official
to steal and convert to his own use
hundreds of thousands of dollars with
out being detected does not appear.

A NEWSPAPER man in Pennsylvania
has been put into trouble for lying.
There must be some horrible mistake
about this whole matter. 1t cannot be
true that any newspaper man has ever
told lie. If we were a betting man,
we would bet every dollar due us from
delinquent subscribers, that this news
paper man is being prosecuted for tell
ing too much truth on somebody.

tion as per list enclosed. am very
much oblige for your leniency to me.
Think I have got ten dollars worth
of Alliance education out of The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER, and given away ten
more. Every Alliance in every State
ought to send at least ten dollars for
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER out of it's
treasury and distribute them to those
members who do not read. I find in
our Alliance those who read Alliance
papers are those who attend our meet
ings regularly and are always ready to
join hands in whatever the Alliance
attempts to do. Our Alliance numbers
somewhere near one hundred some are
Alliancemen to the core, and some
hardly through the peeling AS a body
we are a unit; we see the star rising

WITH great satisfaction we have
learned that the students of our State
University have passed a set of ringing
resolutions against the senseless and
wicked practice of hazing. This action,
we think, is certain to influence the
students in other institutions. Let this
manly example be followed.

is the fact is very clearly shown in

A WORD of caution to the State Ali
ances, which are TO meet in annual
session in the near future: During the
next Alliance year we will doubtless
be confronted with stupendous prob
lens. Men of our order, and especially
our officials, will be tested in every
way. We know that efforts will be
made to buy and bribe them-that
their patriotism, their devotion and
constancy to principle, their moral
manhood, will be tested as never before
1t is all important that men be chosen
to lead during the next year who are
sound and solid to the core, who can
withstand all manner of temptation,
who will prove pure metal in the fur
mace, and who are absolutely I'm
purchasable. Take no man for leader
who has the ,O6ice-itch. The State Presi-
dents for the next year and the dele
gates to the Supreme Council are the
most important positions to the ALI
ance people that are to be filled for a
year Gf not years. to come. The
brotherhood should keep their eyes
wide open and see that none is selected
to these positions but the "tried and

ELEVEN hundred and fifty metal
workers in Chicago have gone upon
strike. They ought to send and get
Mr.. Mckinley to come to Chicago and
put his double back-action tariff plan
for bringing in an industrial millennium
into operation for their benefit. Those
Chicago metal workers must be as
blind as two-day-Old pointer puppies
if they cannot see that they are strik-
ing against the golden age of industrial
righteousness. Cannot those metal
workers see that every one of their
children born under the new tariff has
a silver spoon prOtruding from each
corner of its mouth? Fie, fie upon the
blindness of the Chicago metal workers.

The storm of indignant criticism
with which the gambling transactions
of the Prince of Wales have been
greeted shows that the spirit which
used to crouch before, and fawn upon,
royal sinners has wellnigh died out in
England. The people seem to see
plainly that a Prince who travels
about the country with his breeches
pockets full of gamblers chips and
counters is not the man to rule over a
free and enlightened Christian people.
We think it was scandulous in the
Lord Chief Justice to retire from the
court room and dine with the Prince
of Wales, when his Lordship knew
that the Prince was in court as the
special champion of the Wilson's.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAX CLOUD

England's South African wars have
been an expensive outlay at all times,
in spite of the rich territory opened up
by the subjugation of the Zulu king,
Cetewayo, in 1879, and the advantages
gained in conquering the unruly Beers
during the last decade. But if the re-
ports from abroad are half true tho COM
ing conflict, which looms up on the
horizon, as the inevitable outcome of
the trek 20 resist the inroads of the
British South African company, will be
the blood!est and most costly imbroglio
OF the lot.
While this country has no direct intcr-
est in the matter, pro or con, there is
sentiment enough and to spare, which
would applaud a set back to British
colonial arms and authority. The Beers,
with their Dutch neighbors, are pos
sesscd OF fighting qualities and powers
of resistance which would make this
war no mere child's play, and it might
