the term "radical' arose about the year
1918, when the popular leaders, Henry
Hunt. Major Cartwright, and others,
sought to obtain a Radical Reform in the
representative system of parliament.
Its origin may probably be traced to the
writings of Lord Bolingbroke, who, in
his discourses on parties, employs the

word "stalwart'' political prominence.

''Itis now high time for the free nations
of the world to utter their protest against
this system of barbarous despotism, and
to demand of the Russian Government
that it's Jewish subjects shall enjoy at
least the elementary rights of human be-
inge, liberty of movement, freedom in
choice of a career, and equality with all
orderly citizens before the Mail
and Express.
We should like for the Mail and Ex-
press to specify just where those free
nations are that can afford to rebuke
Russia. In the United States, the Col
ored people are treated as badly as the
Jews in Russia are, and the Jews are
just as active in aiding in this persecu-
ton as any other elias of people. With
our massacres of Colored men in the
South and of Indians and Chinese in the
West and so on, we would cut beauti-
full figure posing as free nation and re-
buking Russia. We think it is high
time for us to pay some attention to the
barbarism so prevalent in the United
States, to which Russia can offer no
parallel.

A Clever Little Boy.

The gopher only remains few Sec
onds in his hole when he feels an ire
sistible desire to come out again and
look about him. Taking advantage of q
knowledge of this habit of theirs a little
boy, 8 years old. who was lost for ten
days in the prairies of Assiniboia, $50
miles north of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad line, in 1886, was able to save
his life. The boy wore lace boots and
leather laces and used to spread moose
made with boot lace over a hole when
he had seen gopher 60 in; be would
then lie down and wait for him to come
out again. When the gopher, according
TO his wont, put his head out to see the
world, the little boy pulled the string,
caught him bythe neck and ate him. As
there was plenty of.rain water in the
holes about. the little hoy got along very
well in this way tilla search party res
cued him. -BlacEwt1od. @

SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 1891.

Prior to the election there was a ter
rible howl over the duty on tin plate.
Workmen were led to believe that thew
could no longer afford a dinner pail.
The tin plate industry in England is
controlled by trust, and, at that time
none was made in the United States.
Under the Mckinley bill there are 1ac-
tories in st. Louis Chicago, Brooklyn,
McKeeport and other points. Congress-
man Niedringhaus says: There were
twenty-three English manufacturers
over here examining the field after the
passage of the new law, but they all
went back, believing that the law would
be changed. One of them-Mr. Rogers
was in St. Louis, and I showed him
that he could get his fuel there at one
third the price which he pays for it in
South Wales. But after looking around
1oI Illne, ue salu liz tnouSnt Cne DemO-
cratic party would take care of him, and
he went back to England without max
ing any investments" Mr.. Niedring-
haus is himself manufacturer of tin
plate, and in Congress opposed the duty.
He is now putting up new mill to be
employed in producing tin-plate. Be-
fore the passage of the Mckinley bill,
no American dared to risk competing
with the British tin-plate trust.

The railroad employees in Bloomington,
ILL.,, have organized an association, the
object of which is to resist the legislation
unfriendly to railroads instigated by the
Alliance. Their idea is that by this,
legislation has reduced dividends and
set the railroads to cutting down ex-
penses by discharging workmen and re-
ducing wages. They think that they.
as we'll as the farmers, deserve some
consideration.
