THE HOMESTEAD LESSON.

The Homestead strike is over; the
intrenched capitalist has prevailed
against the unprotected laborer, and
the workman, after starving for
months, has listened to the pitious
appeals of his wife and babies and
gone back to work for less wages
than before the strike.
Those who struck because they
would not accept s2.5 day, now
have the privilege of coming back
(if not on the company's black lst)
and accepting 81. 80 for ten hours of
toll in the SCOT of the smelling rooms
and the heat of the blast furnaces.
Andrew Carnegie, the foreigner,
whom the protective tariff policy of
the Government enabled to pile up
sixty millions of money, is enjoying
ing himself like fudal lord in Scot
land.
The one and only solution of the
labor difficulty is the restriction OF
foreign immigration.
The American workman is obliged
to work for starvation wages because
there is a hoard of hungry foreigners
coming into the factories and work
shops, eager to work at wages which,
while small here, seem large to a
man from across the water.
The labor problem will never be
settled until the stream of pauperS
and criminals that flow into our do
main through Castle Garden IS turn
ed back to its own source.

A NATIONAL SILVER LEAGUE.

The silver producing states and
territories should in the near future
organize national silver league on
the same plan of the state leagues
now in existance in Colorado, Idaho
aud Nevada. Organization is eve
thing. If Montana had been prop
erly organized she would have gone
for free coinage as her sister states
did, but as it is, she stands disgraced
before the eyes of the nation. This
must not be the case in the coming
election. Let US begin at once and
show the world that we will plead
and suplicate no longer for simple
justice, but we will stand ready to
tight again in case it becomes neces~
sary to get free coinage. Idle
threats have no force, but when
threats are made frankly, and carried
out to the bitter end, as was the case
in Nevada, Colorado and Idaho on
November the 9Th. they have weight.
We ask for nothing but justice, and
that we will have or somebody else
will get hurt. Silver State.
This idea is good one. The sill
yer leaders in this state should keep
up their organization.
On Saturday evening the leaders
of the silver party in Ormsby will
meet and take steps to make the
organization in this county as perfect
as any similar organization in New
ada.

WHAT DID 1T,

Both the New York Tribune and
the san Francisco Chronicle have
figured ont that the cause Of Repub-
lican defeat was the great inroads
made in the Republican vote by the
Peoples party. The papers ignored
the third party movement but now
are obliged to acknowledge that the
Republican party went to the wall
because of the two million votes cast
by the Peoples party. We had mop
ed that the lesson Of the third party
in the campaign would not be lost on
the Republican party and that the
resule of the campaign would be
such as to awaken the party to the
real needs of the people. The large
vote of the Peoples party however
and the terrible defeat of the Repub
lican party leaves matters in such
shape that the only way to ever
overthrow Democracy is for the Re
publicans to let the old battered
organization go to the dogs where
it belongs, with its trusts, combines
and tariff, tempered monopolies and
join the Peoples party The, party of
true progress and reform. 1t is dead
certain that the Peoples party are
not going to them, The only way
for the Democrats to capture the
West is to give it free coinage.

glad every one is to have short re-
spite from study, and how eager they

Keep your children off the street at
night if you would save them from ac-
quirlng those bad habits which will IN
after life ruin them. An exchange, IN
commenting upon this important sub
ject, says: at is nothing unusual to
see young boys and girls roaming the
streets at late hours of the night,
They are thus attending the primary
schools of crime. If the parents OF
these children are desirous of saving
their children from life of crime
and disgrace they should take better
care of them at night. A little
money spent in innocent games and
books and homes in other ways made
attractive to the children would no
doubt cause many of them to spend
less time on the streets. You can't
make a gloomy funeral place and eX-
pect your children to find happiness
therein. You had better let them
have an occasional romp all over the
house, even if they do kick up some
dust, rather thar in after years tc
have them come home with the mud
of the gutter on them. Home should
be the happiest and most attractive
place on earth, and it will be i
genuine love exists therein. keeT

If you don't, you are the direct cause

An Ingenious Prisoner.

1t is seldom that a convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as animate of Maryland
prison. His term Of imprisonment is
thirteen years, on conviction of horse
stealing. of which he insists he was in
nocent. BY working overtime he has
earned such sums of money as to enable
him to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter-
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction of half dozen
different electrical appliances, including
a burglar alarm, which he has just COM
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is a lock
which is so arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited a model of this
lock to the warden, who was SO pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry, lathe
was set up in the prisoners cell and he
was relieved of all other tasks SO that his
entire time could be devoted to the man
ufacture of his locks, with which in a
short time all the dormitories of the
prison will be provided. Exchange.
