,Coneressionalists May Make Don Angus

Congressiona1ists May Make Don Angus
tin Edwards President of Chill.
LONDON. Aug. 31-It is reported here
on the strength Of statements made by
the Congressional agents in Paris and
London that Don Augustin Edwards
will be the next president of Chill. He
is one of the wealthiest, if not the
wealthiest, of Chilians, and in the early
,,ericd of the insurrection he supplied
funds lavishly for the support OF the
revolutionary cause. He has many
friends in the higher class In England
and on the continent, and Is largely IN
,terested in the nitrate trade. He has a
snlendid farm in Chill, which, up to the
time of the war. was stocked with the
hest blooded cattle that money could OBJ
tain in Europe. These cattle, during
theIwar. were slaughtered for food for
Balmaceda's troops, and the property OF
Edwards both in the city end country
was laid waste. He narrowly escaped
-vith his own life. The Congressional
lists have always looked to him as their
leading representative, although he has
not taken an active personal part IN
naval or military affairs. The Con-
eressionalists have, within the few days,
brought strong pressure to bear on the
British foreign office to secure British
influence against the transfer to Balma'
eceda of the silver shipped from Valpa.
raiso in a British war vessel. There is
very little likelihood that the treasure
will be turned over To Balmaceda.

A dispatch from New Orleans, dated
the 9th inst, says: "The first Louis
lana sugar produced under the new
bounty law reached here to-day from
WestOver plantation in West Baton
Rouge Parish, and application was made
for the bounty on it. The internal reve-
nue. Office here has appointed $50 weigh
ers and samplers to handle the sugar
RECEIPTS, which are expected to be large
from this time forward, but the sugar
scales to be used In the business have
not yet reached here from Washington.
Nearly all the planters have notified
the internal revenue Office that they will
begin the manufacture of sugar this
month. Twelve have already begun,
and the latest date fixed on by any of
them is October 26. 1t is now evident
that the crop will not be as large as was
expected few months ago, in conse-
quence of the drought in August and
September, and that Notwithstanding
an increase of IL per cent. on the acre
age, it will fall below last years crop.
The planters in their application for
bounty filed in July called for bounty
on $50 100000 pounds of sugar, which
would have brought $11 900, 600 to them.
The indications now are that the crop
will not exceed $4,000, 600 pounds, re-
ducing the bounty to be received to
Sc, SOC. 0OO."

Parnen, the great Irish leader, died
suddenly last Tuesday, the 9Th. He was
queer combination. With no intimate
friends, yet great leader; man who
broke engagements, and lavishly spent
the money of others, yet the idol of the
masses. Defeat did not discourage him
and all his successes were gained by
hard work. Just as he reached the top
Of the ladder the kitty O'Shea''
trouble brought him down almost to
the bottom. He began climbing again,
and was in fair way to get back most
Of his old time prestige when death cut
him down. Some new leader will spring
up. The cause of justice and freedom
may be trampled on for ages, but pro-
gress is now the watchword, and as the
world becomes educated and civilized
the bonds and shackles of slavery and
monarchy are falling off. Truth will
prevail; the eternal years of God are
hers. The people of this country have
long wondered how Ireland, Russia,
Austria and Turkey have endured their
burdens 80 long.

WHEN HUDSON WAS 4 FARMER

TOPEKA, Oct. 6.-The Alliance Ad-
vocate has created a sensation in polit-
ical circles by publishing part of a
speech made by J. X. Hudson, editor
of the Topeka Capital, at Erie, Kansas,
in 1873, when he was candidate for
congress on the greenback ticket. The
speech contains the following:
Through the ballot box must come
the changes that are to place the farm
ers in position to successfully carry
out the reforms heretofore mentioned.
The selection of men to do the work
can be made by none so we'll as by those
most interested. If the substituting of
legislatures, of the press, of congress
and courts of justice continues; if we
cannot send men to legislate who shall
be able to withstand the direct and in
direct brides of rings and monopolies,
revolution becomes inevitable. Few
seem to realize how serious this strug-
gle must become within the next ten
years. The little cloud now rising, no
iara L than a mans hand, receiving
scarcely the smile of contempt from
those great powers, will yet overcast
the whole sky, and tornado will sweep
over this fair land that will rock the
very foundations of our government.
The farmers movement will swell until
at no distant day it will combine all
the industrial classes of this country.
and the voice Of such force must be
heard. The handwriting is upon the
wall. Old party names and ties are
passing away. The grand old republi
can party, with its history, its victories,
Its glorious martyrs, has become place
OF refuge for thieves, railroad and sal
airy grabbers, whisky and Indian rings,
and must fall to pieces from it's own
rottenness. The poor old democratic
party, with Its past reconstruction, has
long ceased to have one impulse in COM
mon with the progress and advance of
the age. Both are in the hands of the
moneyed power of the country. Both
are controlled and operated, not for
justice, not for the protection of the
masses, but to secure gains of Office and
perpetuate official power. What we
want is the farmers and peoples an
ti-monopoly party Every school dis
trict and township and county should
secure thorough organization under
whatever name or form may be deemed
best for the perfection of such organ
ization and under which all can unite
without jealousy upon state platform
broad enough to comprehend the entire
issues of the hour. Neighborhood
feuds, personal differences and party
lines must, in measure, be forgotten.
Mr.. President, as a farmer l feel
deeply upon these questions, which are
of the most vital Importance, and ex-
press to you the hope that the near
future will see the farmers united and
firm in their intentions to secure for
themselves proGt and honor among
men. To raise and dignity ths stand

st. Louis Republic: 1.-THE gold COM
ing back from Europe, over which the
republicans are cackllng 80, is brought
back by western farm products, dug
out Of the ground by unprotected
western work, and sold under free
trade. The products of the highly pro-
tected machines OF the Mckinley COR
porations are not bringing it back. The
plutocratlc machine owners do not
trouble themselves to go abroad after
gold. They content themselve with
taking it after 1t gets here. If the
farmer, whose products brought it, de-
mands his share, they call him crank
and calamity shrieker." This is pref
ty good, coming as it does from a dem
ocratic organ, which is fighting these
so-called cranks and Calamity howl
ers."

Only $18,OOO,OO0 of the $50, OOO, 900 past
due bonds had been redeemed at the
treasury up to Wednesday. But even
the redemption of this small amount
brought on a pinch that has caused an
entire month of continuous cramping.
The g. o. p. was in too big a hurry to
get rid of the surplus. 1t creates de-
ticlt, and don't know how to meet it.
Its billion dollar congress was a fraud.
Why not issue greenbacks and pay off
these bonds, instead of issuing other
bonds? Thank the Lord that the next
congress will have few men who will
try to do something for the people.

Working the War Racket.

The more the farmers demand fnan-
c1al reform the louder becomes the par
tisan war agitation. The men who
make living by keeping alive section
al anlmosities are determined that
they shall not lose their business. The
people have caught on to their racket
now. They understand that the object
OF all this talk about the war and the
soldiers of the two armies is to obscure
the real needs of the people for which
they have no remedy to offer. war
record is very good thing sometimes,
and ii the owner of it is not trying to
get office or make money by it, then a
good war record is honorable But
just now our people want a financial
record. Not a record for making money
for the moneyed men, but to make
money for the people who are having
such hard work to make both ends S,eet.
The people want a record for valiant
fighting for financial relief The mo-
nopolistic papers argue that man must
be financial success himself before he

The Farmers, Warebouse.

The Farmers Alliance, Of Pullman,
has erected what is probably the most
extensive and complete elevator and
warehouse in any city in eastern WASH
inton. In dimensions the building is
2O0x40 feet on the ground with twenty
foot posts, and will hold $50, 900 bushels
of grain. It is most strongly built, be-
ing first boarded up on the outside, and
then having corrugated iron put on
over this Every exposed portion of
the building is covered with iron, and
1t is, therefore, freproof, as a spark
from the outside cannot find spot on
which to burst into flame The facili-
ties for handling grain are also of the
most complete type. No lifting of sacks
is necessary, everything being done on
down grade. The elevating is done
by the team hitched to the load of wheat
on the driveway, which is very slight
up grade, and the elevator entrance
opens directly thereon. Her

gaped in establishment and wondered,
for no one ever before attacked the sa-

was thrown in lake one cold night
and left to swim ashore the best way he
could. Her effort was successful for
the time being and drink of the ar

Drug stores for about two weeks. At
the end of that time enforcing the pro-
hibitory law became monOtonous and
the saloons gradually opened up again.
They have been running recently in full
blast and one of the main saloon keep
ers was killed. Mrs. jackson thought
it was time to commence again and &C
cordingly she employed extra officers
to enforce the law. Excitement follow

predecessor. Mr.. Holmes has been out

She asks for divorce and the custody of
the child, and for suitable alimony. Mr..
Blaine IN his reply, denies that he de-
serted his wife, but claims that she de-
serted him. He pleads poverty and
urges that he has an income of but 8, 900
year, which will cease December 1,
next. He makes plea for the custody
OF the child. There will probably be a
hard fight for the child, who resembles
his grandfather.
