The Atlantic. Pacific Railway Tunnel.

The Atlantic. Pacific Railway Tunnel.
From the New York Record, Jan. 81 1891.
The Atlantic. Pacific Tunnel when
completed will be one of the great
railway wonders of the world. It
will be tunnel through three of the
Of the peaks of the Rocky mountains,
one of them being Gray's peak, one Of
the rock-ribbed giants that lift their
mighty heads away above the clouds,
as though they held in contempt all
mundane things. The tunnel will be
five miles in length and will be cut
right through the heart of the great
monster which stretches its body from
the extreme north to the extreme
south Of the American continent and
known as the Continental Divide.
The tunnel was begun eleven years
ago at point some sixty miles west
of Denver, Colorado, and is being driv-
ell through from both sides of the
mountain. The distance already
reached is 5000 feet.
When the stupendous work shall
have been completed it will shorten
the distance between Denver Zone of
the principal railroad centers in the
United States) and Salt Lake City,
23O miles, aid will throw into the
public lap for settlers vast extent of
arabic and mineral territory. as large
as the state Of New York now COM
paratively useless for lack Oftranspor-
tation. incidentally, in driving this
tunnel some $50 veins will be cut
through. These veins are filed with
gold and silver ore. ranging in value
from 500 to $4,000 per ton.
Already OH both sides of the noun
tain the miners are bringing out gold
and silver ore, rich specimens of
which the writer has seen. as we'll as
silver bricks with the stamp of the
company on them, at the main office
of the company in the Pulitzer Build
ing, in New York City.
Mr.. Mark M. Pomeroy is the presi-
dent and manager of the company,
having recently been reelected gener-
al manager for ten years longer. Mr..
Pomeroy was the protector of the
great enterprise and has been an in
defatigable worker aud large investor
lin promoting this work. 1t is won
derful project and Mr.. Pomeroy and
those associated with him as share
owners or bond owners are to be con-
graduated on its assured success.

EVERY public necessity should be
under control, if not owned and OPP
Grated by the government. Why
should Uncle Sam let Jay Gould tax
his nephews thirty millions year
for kilograms? Why should he let
English syndicates tax his people
$3.50, 100000 a year for railroad
transportation? Why should he
pay national banks thirty millions
year to issue his money to the peo-
pie p? There is too much proxy bus
mess about it, and it is too extrava-
giant to last.-Alliance Herald, Ala.

OVER one thousand evictions have
already taken place in the Coke re-

dare not trust the local authorities
for safety, but have imported over
500 of Pinkerton's hirelings. So

Uncle Sans Sheekels.

Uncle SANS DnceKc1S.
Uncle Sam loves to loan his
sheckels to bankers, to worlds fairs,
to railroads and to Wall street
gamblers, but when it comes to the
horny-handed farmer, horror of hor-
rors! the very idea is "unconstitu-
tiional. Iowa Tribune.
Come to think of it, it seems to
lis we have often heard it said that
the horny-handed farmers and 9TH
ers who dig the wealth out of the
earth, are. the most Independent
people we have. So you see, it's
Unconstitutional" for "Uncle Sam"
to love Independent folks to the ex-
tent of loaning them his sheckels,
or even donate to them small
patch of land, for you see it is con-
stitutional for "Uncle Sam" to look
after the "poor dependent ones.
1t seems that we have heard it said
that it was grand for the cold boys"
that saved the country to have such
gratitudes as had been heaped upon
them. So you see it's "unconstitu-
tional" for Uncle Sam to equalize
his sheckels to them, or to donate
to them land warrant for a small
patch of the earth, for you see they
are not only living high and dry on
gratitude, but they also received
for the time they were engaged in
saving country, the enormous sum
of from $13 to SIG per month,
which was equal at that time to Al
cents in gold on the dollar. So you
see they are also syndicates, and
that it is unconstitutional" for
Uncle Sam to do otherwise than to
loan, say to the poor Pacific rail-
road company, 3O,OOO,OOO with
out interest, out of the revenue
sheckels collected from the indie
pendent wealth producers, and the
old soldier syndicates; also to give
the same poor railroad $4,000, 900
worth of lands, so as to keep the
poor railroad company out of the
poor house. Also you see it's con-
stitutional for Uncle Sam to loan the
poor national banks 100000, 900
without interest, out Of the same
revenue fund, 80 as to keep the poor
bankers and bond-holders from being
thrown on the public as objects of
charity. You see it's constitutional
for Uncle Sam to help the poor
(?) bankers.

ALIENS should not be permitted to
own a foot of American soil. While
a large body of American laborers
are needing lands, particularly in
the old states, there are millions of
acres held by British aristocrats for
speculation, awaiting the rise in
prices and demand which the devel-
opment caused by these laborers
will assure. Alliance Herald, Ala.

The Miners of the Coke Regions.

The Miners Of the Coke Regions.
The coke miners are out-not on
strike-that is over; but on a
starve. 1t was starve if they did
not strike, and starve if they did
strike. Something over year ago
the miners at Braidwood struck.
There was the usual violence; the
Pinkerton thugs; the evictions;
the supplanting and the starving.
Ten thousand miners and twenty
thousand women and children went
out on the highways and byways OF
the great state of Illinois, utterly
destitute of everything that makes
life desirable, and were swallowed
up in the great chasm of misery
that has opened for the poor Of
America, lost to the public view, as
body, but in plain sight of church
es, school houses, clothing and food.
Doubtlass they are, if alive, no bet
ter off than when evicted from the
poverty-stricken homes, said to be
theirs. To-day the same scenes are
being enacted in the great state Of
Pennsylvania. Seven thousand
miners, their wives and little chill
dren, go out on the highways and
byways of Pennsylvania-some to
die Of hunger and privation, some
to become tramps and paupers, some
to become criminals and prostitutes,
but none to acquire homes and hap
pinesss. And this happens in the
land of Washington and Lincoln;
in the land of Harriet Beecher
Stowe and John Brown in the
land of churches and schools; in
the land that boasts that it is chris
tian. Is the great heart of the
American public, that swelled and
throbbed with pity for the black
slave, dead to woes and wrongs of
Door whites !? We believe not. We
believe that day of righteous ad-
.justment of the rights of the poor is
at hand, whether black or white.

SOME enterprising statistician of
Washington has figured out the per
cent. of population engaged in ag-
riculture in each state, and finds that
twenty-four states have a majority
employed in that industry land those
states cast 226 votes in the electoral
college. Reasoning from this stand
point, the farmers, if they were
united, could elect president with
out the help of any other class.
But this is not class fight, only so
far as those interested in gambling
on the boards of trade, national
bankers and bullion brokers are con-
cerned; as a class they are perfect
ly satisfied with the present regime
of affairs, and all other trades, occu
pations, are, or should be, interested
in a change Of conditions; this
would include fully ninety-fve per
cent. of the population. So what
is the use of ninety-fve per cent.
allowing five per cent. to rule !?
Think of this when you pay rates
for freight that enable stock job
bers to declare dividend on watered
stock to four times the amount of
the actual value of the roads they
operate. Think of it when you pay
2 per cent. a month on that little
loan you got of the bank; think of
this when you pay rent for the use
of Gods free gift to man, while
thousands of acres are lying idle,
held by spectators for a raise in
value. And then kick yourself be-
cause you have been such fool as
to allow the politicians to keep you
separated each year by appealing to-
your party predjudices while the
money power of Wall street, New
York, and Lombard street, London,
were slowly but surely forging
chain that will. eventually enslave
you and your children.-Haven In

ed from the Kansas City Star, in
regard to the national birth of the
Peoples party at the conference.
1t is quite plain to an observing
reader that it is seeking to divide
the Alliance of the south and west,
and thus divide the Peoples party,
and defeat them in 1892. "No flu
sion" ought to be the watchword,
not only of the Alliance, but of
every labor organization in the
country, and victory will be their
reward. Therefore, every individu-
al member of their organizations
ought to buckle on the armor. Keep
in line, and on to victory.

A SUMNER CHAIR.

For q bedchamber or sewing room
such a chair is quite as attractive done
up with cheese cloth in baby blue tint,
delicate pink o buff, or any of the ex-
quisite designs displayed in silkoline,
which MAJ be edged with cheap cotton
lace, surmounted at intervals by long
silk t~assels, matching in shade the
groundwork of the silkoline, finished
with ribbons, drawn at the ends, with
the addition of a single tassel, or a bunch
of them. with short cords to attach them.
The silk should be portioned first in a
piece for the cushion cover, then the re-
mainder cut through the middle of the
silk. which is used lengthwise, Il piece
for the upper drapery and another for
the lower. The cushion IS most endur-
ing made of hair. which comes in seyerai
qualities. according TO price. However,
cotton at a few cents will serve, and
since it is typieally 4 summer chair win
last out a season nicely. This should be
made of u~nbleached muslin, then covered
with the silk on top and silesia in the
same color at the bottom, as there is some
wear against the seat. y band of satin
ribbon across the cushion holds it ia
form and gives brightness. A monogram
or the words Rest Awhile" embroider-
ed, give the chair a sentiment if you wish
to give it the time and pains. The drapery
is next to be fashioned in soft folds, edged
with fringe or silken cord tackled at in
tervals on the edge TO form loops, these
loops ~suspending a tiny tassel. At II
jabot end, and on the projecting corner
of the seat, while a full bow catches the
drapery up at the back. Ribbon ends
are tucked away in the festoons, and
these with the ends of the bow are com
pleted with full silken balls.

you than a series
of grimaces which perpetual employ
ment has robbed of significance.
1t is no longer thought childish by
even the wisest and most dignified of
women to pay due regard to the pres
eryation Of such good looks as she may
be possessed of. A prominent physician
says in this regard, s'There is no use, for
instance, in allowing ones mouth in
middle life to run riot all oyer the lower
part of ones face"
Many women regard it as silly to take
any measures to confne it within proper
limits-women who labor earnestly to
reduce the proportions Of their waists.
Many a nose also. if stroked in the right
direction in the privacy of ones cham
Der, might be cured of tendency to bad
angles. Careful strohng down of the
cheek beside the nose could also soften
the pronounced rising there which dis
figures so many faces.
And sleeping no less than waking does
the woman Of today have a care of her
features. She resolutely banishes from
her bedroom the luxurious pillows of
down in which she has erstwhile loved
to nestle. She has learned that such
supetinduce wrinkles, and she replaces
them by a small, hard, hair pillow, which
nun would not consider too comfort
able. In this she apes but does not quite
reach the heroism Of the japanese belle,
who seeks her rest pillowed upon d
wooden block. And even on her hair
pillow beauty does not nestle. She does
not tuck her hand under her cheek and
prettily, like a tired child, go to sleep.
That practice is bad, she Knows, for
the tender skin laid in creasing folds
beneath the palm. Instead she lies with
her face free from the pillow, and be-
fore she loses consciousness she sum
mons some quiet, pleasant thought to
leave its peaceful imprint for the coming
sluInber.
