WITH surprising regularity we are
told that wages are much higher
than they were thirty years ago
and this is told, too, in spite Of the
fact that the reports of the various
labor commissioners tell different
tale. And not only the reports of
labor commissioners, but the census
of the United States, give such
statements a fiat contradiction. The
census report of the United States
shows the average wages paid in
the United States to be only 90 cents
per day. This fact won't deter the
daily wage liar from repeating the
lie. There is an object in view
The people must be kept in ignor-
ance of facts. If the. truth were
made known through all the papers
If the fact was by them published
simultaneously, the old parties
would melt away as the morning
mist. The truth must be suppress
ed. Yea, more than that, thread
bare lie must be kept on the move
to keep the rank and file rallied
around the party standard.

And if it is not reputable, it must

is one source of complaint from the
people. Give us men who will not

to act as emergencies come, without

schemers, who have not the inter

MODERN society justice is to feast

rob, and then give the wronged ones
homes in alms-houses and pauper
graves, and then call it charity to
thus care for them.

An Insult to Old Soldiers.
Clay Center Dispatch.

Gabriel Burdett, the colored
preacher who spent some time in the
county, helping the alliance de-
nounce the "ungrateful" govern
ment, has been given pension by
the government. If he has the true
Alliance character he will continue
to abuse the country that rewards
him for his patriotism, but if he has
the common sense and gratitude
which usually characterized the
colored man, he will keep free from
participation in Alliance harangues.
Minneapolis Messenger.
In other words, he should surren-
der his manhood and go back to the
| Republican party. He should sell
his soul and conscience for few
paltry dollars which he earned 25
years ago. We venture to say that
Mr.. Burdett is not that kind Of
man, though we have known a few
white men to be guilty of just such
actions. No doubt when the pen
sion was granted it was expected
thereby to bring him back into the
Republican fold, but the man who
can be bought at such small price
has. lost all patriotism, if he ever had
any, and is not entitled to the hon
or of being called a Union soldier.
Such men would have joined the
Southern confederacy for so cents
advance on their wages. Talk
about gratitude to the Republican
party! Is the old soldier pauper!
And should his attention be called
to what is being done for him every
week Is it not fact that he earned
his pension twenty-five years ago!
Is he under any more obligations to
the government than the govern
ment is to him Should he get
down on his knees and humbly ex-
pless his gratitude for the payment
of debt, without interest, which
has been due him 50 long? 1t re-
quires a great deal of cheek for Re-
publican leaders to offer such insults
to the men who saved the govern
ment. They are practically saying
to them: eve are giving you
these pensions, and as you have
never earned them, you must do it
now by voting the Republican ticket.
We are rewarding you for your
votes, and if you don't deliver them,
we are paying out money for notn-
ing, and you are showing your in
gratitude" Old soldiers, how do
you like it? How do you enjoy
having it thrown in your teeth every
week that you are objects of charity,
and that the Republican party is
feeding you for your votes F? Shame
on Governor Riddle and his party
for insulting the defenders of the
Union, and shame ON the old soldiers
who will not resent the insult

For once the Journal inadvisedly,
truthtully and briefly sums up the
situation. For many years the enc

their own way. Two years ago the

in good shape, and there was mourn
ing in the camp of "the enemies of
the state.' The same enemies can

D. R. ANTHONY, of the Leaven-

in George t. with being an embez-
zler of school funds in New York,
and says he has transcript of the
evidence and court records. This
is grave charge, but George don't
kick. Such crime ought to polit-

They have him in their boat as con-
gressman-at-large. If he don't
prove to be the Jonah aboard their

such men?

His Features of a Purple Hue and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90. - Chairman
Springer Of the ways and means committee
is suffering from acute eryslpelas, compli-
Gated with nervous prostration and se-
we're cold, and is unable to see any one but
the immediate members of his family. His
features are swollen almost beyond reco9ni-
ticn and have assumed purple hue, yet he
has never lost consciousness and his mind is
apparently perfectly clear. His physician
has imposed perfect quiet, and says that for
at least a week to come he must not be per-
mitted TO know tie daily occurrences of
the House or converse or be Informed on
any other matters Of special interest to
him.
THE EFFECT OF NERVOUS PRoSTRATIoN.
This serious illness 10 said by his physician
TO be principally the effect Of nervous pros
tration, induced by constant work and
anxiety in the preparation Of his tariff re-
port and the incessalt calls of visitors to
which the chairman of the ways and means
committee has been subjected. Mr.. Springer
to-day communicated to Mr.. McMillin OF
Tennessee a request that he assume charge
of the tariff bills in the House during the
chairman's illness and make the opening
speech in the coming discussion.
Mr. Springer hopes to be sufficiently re-
covered to make the last speech and close
the debate before the final vote is taken.

A BIG STRIKE OF MINERS.
HALF A MILLION MEN TO STOP
WORK IN ENGLAND.

The Fight Made Against a Reduction
OF Wages-At Least Million Men
to Be Affected by the Trouble-The
Miners Offer to Combine With the
Employers to Keep Up the Prices OF
Coal
LONDON, Feb. 29.-It is now estimated
that 100000 miners will cease work in a
fortnight in their efforts TO prevent the
masters from putting into effect their
scheme to reduce wages.
MILLION TO FEEL THE EFFECTS.
The only miners who stand aloof from
the movement are those employed in South
Statfordshire and East WorcesterHhfre
Should the threatened strike actually occur
it is estimated that close to ,000, 900 men will
feel the effects OF the miners struggle. The
agitation Is due to the action of the mine
owners In Wales and Cumberland who gave
an intimation Of their Intention 60 reduces
wages on the sliding scale principle owing
TO the decline In the prices or coal. The
men refused to accept the reduction and
declared that the mine owners must make
the consumers pay.
OFFERED TO FORM A RING.
The men offered 20 form ring of miners
and mine owners to maintain rates. The
mine owners association declared that this
would be impossible as the mine owners
outside the association are cutting rates
The men then offered IL the present rate of
wages were maintained, to strike in all the
collieries where the prices were reduced
helow the rates OF the coal nliae owners
association. The miners federation de-
clares that since 1888 It has forced up wages
40 per cent. by hard fighting, and that 1t
does not intend to have them drop any. The
price OF coal in London is shillinRs higher
to-day than Saturday, and by the end OF
the week it is probable that prices will be
doubled.
The men will stop work on March IL and
will remain idle for two weeks. This action
of the miners is due to their desire to re-
strict the output, aud thus advance values
and afford the masters no grounds on which
to reduce wages.

marriage in very high life which is put down

Duke de Letts, an Italian nobIeman Of the
highest rank. and who is related TO the
reigning family I'm Italy. came TO Charles
ton and settled here. He was accompanied
by his private secretary, an Englishman
named DeGrath. The duke engaged
rooms at the swell hotel here and soon made
acquaintances. He is a pleasant, alma
BILE, genial gentleman with very lit
tie nonsense about him. He
entertained royalty and was entertained in
return by several societies. including the
Masons. He fell in with the newspaper re-
porters, whom he treated well and had no
hesitation in granting interviews. His
grace has been here for several months.
and people began to inquire the cause Of his
prolonged visit. Then the rumor got out OF
the impending marriage. The alleged bride
is said to bo the charming daughter Of a
merchant prince of this city, who, some
years ago, married Charleston man, but
who was separated from him. Society ia

he had betrayed them.
