Laziness on Puget Sound.

The woodsmen there live on their
claims and hunt in summer, and in
winter work in the logging camps,
and the hard work and active life,
and the combined sea and noun
tain air, sweet with the scent of
cedar and balsam, give them great
physical development in almost
every case. The Marine told me
that when he first came to that part
of the country he was rather in awe
of the inhabitants because of their
remarkable size and strength. But
there was one man whom he was
quite sure he could, if necessary,
vanquish-the weakest of his neigh
bors-and so my friend decided that
if he ever had any difficulty with
any of the inhabitants it should be
with this one. One day he went
out with the man to get firewood,
and the settler picked up piece of
wood that in the East would have
been a tree of respectable size, and
walked off with it over his shoulder
as easily, to all appearances, as if
it had been bamboo pole. The
Marine is strong man, and at col
lege was mighty on the football
field and strong in the tug of war.
But he had to content himself with
|h log about half the size. "What
makes you carry such a stick as
that?" said he to the settler. you'll
strain yourself" "Waal," said the
settler, ''it's jest sheer laziness
makes me carry them things. I'd
orter hitched the ponies to it, that's
what had, and let 'em drawed it ;
but was too-indolent to har-
ness 'em-jest sheer laziness, that's
what" The Marine marveled. II
this was the result of Incidence,
what might not industry accom-
plish? And he resolved not to diff
fer with his neighbor on any sub
ject, if it might conscientiously be
avoided.-Forest and Stream.

Quite an Industry.

When you have seen persons
slipping cooling drinks, like lemon
ades, mint juleps, rum punches and
SO on, through long straws, it has
probably not occurred to you that
the making of those straws is quite
an industry. They are cut to even
length from rye stalks and put into
boxes containing 5000 straws which
can be bought of dealers who make
a specially OF bar-room supplies
There is factory in western state
where over q hundred boys and
girls are constantly employed the
year round in cutting and packing
these straws for market--N. 7

WHAT DO WE WANT?
A FARNERs' ALLIANCE POEM, FRoM TIL
SOUTHERN ALLIANCE farmer.

A FARxERs' ALLIANCE POEM, FROM THE
SOUTHERN ALLIANCE farmer.
We are hewers and delivers who toll for an
Others gain,
The common clOd, and r0bDle, stunted OF
brow and brain.
What do we want, the cleaners, of the har-
vest we nave reaped?
We want the drones to be driven away from
our golden hoard;
We want to share i'll the harvest, we want
to sit at the board;
We want what sword or suffrage has never
yet won for man.
The fruits of his toll God promised when
the curse of toll began.
Ye have tried the sword and scepter, the
cross and the sacred word.
In all the years, and the kingdom is not
here yet of the Lord.
We are tired of useless waiting; we are
tired of fruitless prayers,
Soldier and churchman and lawyer-the
failure is not theirs.
What gain is it to the people that God
laid down his life,
If twenty centuries after His world be a
world of strife?
If the serried ranks be facing each other
I with ruthless eyes,
And steel in their hands, what profits a
Savior's sacrifice?
Ye have tried and failed to rule us in vain
to direct us have tried,
Not wholly the fault of the ruler, not utterly
blind the guide,
Mayhap there needs not ruler, mayhap
we can find the way,
At least We have ruled to ruin; at least ye
have led astray.
II, oil 1Nry, dnyo
holds the rein,
If crime and poverty ever be links In the
bOndmans chain?
What careth the burden bearer that Liberty
packed his load,
If hunger presses behind him with sharp
and ready goad?
There's Serf whose chains are of paper !;
there's king with a parchment crown !;
There are rObber knights and brlgands III
factory, field and town.
But the vassal pays his tribute to lord OF
wage and rent,
And the baron's toll is ShylOck's, with 3
flesh and blood per cent
The seamstress bends to her labor all night
In a narrow room;
The child, defrauded of childhood, tiptOes
all day at the loom.
The soul must starve, for the body can
barely on husks be fed
And the loaded dice of the gambler settles
the loaf of bread.
Ye have shorn and bound the Samson, and
robbed him Of lcarIings light,
But his sluggish brain is moving; his slnews
have ali their might
Look we'll to your gates of GAIA, your
privilege pride and caste,
The giant IS blind, but thinking, and his
locks are growing fast.

Waste of Food in Hotels.

The thing which perhaps strikes
me most disagreeably in the Amer
lean hotel dining-room is the sight
of the tremendous waste of food
that goes on at every meal, writes
Max O'Rell in the North American
Review. No European, | suppose,
can fail to be struck with this but
to a Frenchman it would naturally
be most remarkable. In France,
where, / venture to say, people live
as we'll as anywhere else, if not bet
ter, there is a perfect horror of any
thing like waste Of good food. 1t
| is to me, therefore, repulsive
thing to see the wanton manner in
which some Americans will waste
at one meal enough to feed several
hungry fellow creatures. In the
large hotels, conducted on the Amer
ican plan, there are rarely fewer
than fifty different dishes on the
menu at dinner-time. Every day
and at every meal you may see
people order three or four times as
much of this food as they could
under any circumstances eat, and,
picking at and spelling one dish
after another, send the balk away
uneaten. l am bound to say that
this practice is not only observed
in hotels where the charge is 80
much day, but in those conducted
/ on the European plan-that is to
say, where you pay for everything
1 you order. There notice that peo-
pie proceed in much the same waste
full fashion. 1t is evidently not q
desire to have more than is paid
for, but simply bad and ugly habit
| hold that about 500 hungry per-
sons could be fed out of the waste
that is going on at such large
hotels as the Palmer House and
Grand Pacific Hotel of Chicago
/ and / have no doubt such 500 hun.
cry people could easily be found in
Chicago every day.

the wealth of the road, yet he is
periodically starving for bread. lie
has discovered that the Declaration
of independence, Yankee Doodle
the Fourth of July, the constitution
of the United States and universal
suffrage have not classified poverty
nor resulted in social fraternity and
an equal diffusion of wealth, and
the burdens, benefits and privileges
of society. Among the farmers,
men of extensive views are of course
to be found, there are some who
openly advocate the reputation OF
debt, public and private, fraternal-
ism in government and a forcible
redistribution of property, but the
number is small yet, though in
creasing rather than decreasing, and
of course there are knaves and
rogues, Scapins. Robert Macaires,
Jeremy Diddlers and Micawbers
among them. Many of the schemes
and projects are grotesque, sym
metrical gimcrack, but in the main
they are the serious efforts of sin
'cere, honest and patriotic men, often
without education or discipline
misled sometimes by sinister and
incendiary appeals to solve the So
cial and political problems of the
nineteenth century.
"The agricultural warehouse, sub
treasury scheme, and the loaning
of irredeemable fat money on real
estate security, have few adherents
thus far among the masses of the
people, even among those who have
been unfortunate and are in dis.
tress. Perceiving the accelerating
tendency of political power to con
centrate in a few hands and the
enormous aggregation of wealth by
individuals SO that inequalities are
greater in a democratic government
than in a despotism, they are con.
sidering the questions in committee
of the whole. They may report
progress and ask leave to consider
it again, or they may rise and order
the previous question. If there is
any tilibustering the result cannot
be foretold.
"The problem is as old as human
ity, but it has never arisen under
the same conditions before, so there
are no precedents. They had sim
liar trouble in Sparta good many
centuries ago and Lycurgus gath
cred up all the real estate and par
celled it out among the citizens
The patricians and plebians o
Rome had the same difficulty ane
the plebians came out ahead. Blu
there are no precedents in history
which is said to repeat itself, tha
apply here because this is the frs
time the experiment of popular self
sovernment-the sovereignty of the
people-has been tried. / am no,
pessimist or ringer of an alarm
bell at midnight, but there are many
indications of the approach ol
structural if not organic changes
in our system. That they will be
accomplished by fatal catastrophes
is unlikely. These are unnecessary
when the supreme court declares
taxation need not be for raising
revenue and the power to tax was
under the constitution the power tc
destroy. They place in the hands
of Lazarus a weapon, against which
Dives has neither shield nor armOr.

HAVE GIVEN UP FARMING.
The Winnebago Indians Abandon Their

Barren Wastes in Disgust.
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, May g.
After three successive failures at farming
the Winnebago Indians have made up their
minds to abandon farming, aud will make
no further effort to raise anything this year
on their reservation, few miles west of this
city. A visit to their farms find them all
neglected, and, instead of any disposition
on their part to put in any crops; they are
sitting around and gambling by their
favorite methods-moccasin and euchre-
and wishing for the blueberry crop to get
ripe.
So far as giving them the land is con-
cerned in order to encourage them to in
dustry and inspire confidence in them, it is
total failure, and no wonder it makes
them tired to work heap hard three year
nothing grow, - for one look at the heaps
of barren sand will make the most enter
prising white man "tired, to say nothing
of attempting to make a living on such a
barren waste.

Head This.

Attention is directed to the adver-
tisement Of F. E. Chagnon in another
column. Mr.. Chagnon offers his fine
ranch in Independence Valley, about
ten miles from the town of Tusca-
rora, consisting of 1,400 acres of land,
300 of which is meadow, all under
fence and we'll watered, for sale at a
bargain. The title to his water right
has been adjudicated by the Courts
and is clear of any opposing title.
The water is constant and plenty and
comes from Springs to which his
right cannot be questioned. In ordi-
nary seasons he can cut as high as
400 tons of timothy, alfalfa and red
top hay. He offers in addition a fine
lot of graded cattle and thorough
bred horses and farming utensils now
on the ranch. This is rare oppor-
tunity for q person with capital to
secure good bargain and desirable
home in one Of the finest valleys of
the State, and being near the active
and prosperous town Of Tuscarora,
furnishes good market for farm
products, eggs, butter, etc.
This is fine opportunity for any
one contemplating going into the
sheep business to secure fine range
at comparatively small outlay of
Lloney.

The Verdict.

The jury in the Morris murder case
! by their verdict, have said that the
/; wiltul and malicious killing Of a
human being in order to perpetrate a
robbery is not murder in the first de-
gree and does not deserve any other
penalty than imprisonment for life.
That Benz. A. Morris wiltully and de-
liberately took the life Of Frank Los
catere on the 18th day OF November
last, there is not the shadow of a
doubt; and thai he robbed the body of
his victim is equally clear to any I'M
biased mind uninfiuenced by SYM
pathy for the defendant and his I'M
happy mother and relatives.
The plea of insanity made in his
case was one of tho weakest ever SUBJ
mitted to an intelligent jury aud GER
tainly could not have been taken into
consideration in making up the YER
dict. 1t appears to this writer that
the only cure for insanity of the Nor
ris stripe is the infliction OF the death
penalty on all who like him commit
cruel and cowardly murder for the
few paltry dollars their victims may
chance to have upon their persons. 1t
is only by the enforcement of the law
and the punishment of crime that So
ciety can be protected and the citizen
made secure in the possession of
property and the enjoyment of life.
The INDEPENDENT has no word of
censure for the jurors who sat in this
case, and who under their oGths we're
bound to act upon the evidence sub
mitted TO them and the law as laid
down by the Court, but it cannot
help to lift its voice against such YER
diets as those of the Lewis, Hendricks
and Morris cases whereby justice has
been cheated and red banded murder
ers gone unpunished for their crimes
that richly deserved the death penal
ty.
