If Stephen Elkins, llarrison's

Quantrell's gang Of guerillas, why
don't some of the Harrison papers
come to the rescue? Were all those
af1idavits Of the 1iterior-Herald

Come! you Immediately pure fel-

more than in keeping with your
record that the army should be in
the hands of a guerilla. Don't take
water in this manner, but answer.

A Leading Democrat On Free
silver Coinage.

For there is not one of the acts OF
tyrannical power complained Of in
the declaration Of Independence
that would inflict such widespread
disasaster and permanent loss and
suffering as that now claimed by
the advocates Of free coinage Of
silver at the mints Of the United
States, without regard to the actual
value of the material of which such
coins are to be composed.
THOMAS F. BAYARD.
How easy it is to make assertions,
For eighty years we had free coin

as the result. Bayard belongs to

him to pander to his kind. Only

FIGURES that do not lie show that
over $2O,O00,00O Of value was
added to the wooden goods produc-
tion of this country under the Nc
Kinley law during the last ten
months of the year 1891, and these
wooden goods were never before so
low in price as they were during
that time and are nOw.-Ex.
And other figures that "do not
lie" show that the greater part of
the $40, 900, 900 OF value added to
the wealth of the country was paid
by those who are the least able and
whose wages were not advanced
one cent as a set-off. for the ad-
vanced cost Of wooden products.
Shoddy goods are lower than here
tofore, but first-class goods, Of the
grade formerly mostly worn, are up.
Figures can be made to lie like the
devil, and that is the use to which
they are now daily put by the Shy

are at war; theory that we are on
the financial upgrade, but expert
ence, the best of all schools, says no.

4 CORRESPONDENT writing from
Ponce de Leon Hotel, St. Angus
tine, Fla, to the Homestead, asks
.How shall describe a building
that represents, in it's materials and
art, four millions Of dollars Z" m
"An Englishman stood in the ro
tunda of this hotel, talking to
Boston gentleman, and he said
The place is too massive and
rich to touch people
The Bostonian replied, Yes, but,
my dear sir, your queen does not
live in any such palace as this. +"
"The Englisbman could say nc
more" fq .t
The writer then enters into a de.
tailed description Of the hotel in all
its appointments.
Four millions Of dollars for a
hotel in a moss grown town Of Flor.
ida looks like a foolish waste OF
money, but the builders know their
business. At first thought the
query comes, IIaw can such an in
vestment be made pay? Who win
patronize it when it's lowest-priced
rooms are five dollars per day, and
from that to fifty? Who can pat
ronize? Not those that labor for
their bread, but those who have
spent their lives in overreaching
their less cunning, and less crafty,
but more scrupulous fellowmen.
Honest business transaction never
can Justify man in spending $50
per day for hotel fare. The honest
business man never reaches that
point; he must be as frugal as his
and upon the fact tnat
only a given amount Of wealth is
created, the men who are able to
spend so lavishly, right and left,
front and aft, must have oppressed
the labOrer in his hire to have Sc
cured 80 much surplus wealth. But
see how the snobbery looms up:
Your queen does not live in any
such palace as this" England, we
are told, is the wOrst-taxed nation
in christendom, and England has
not such a palace for her queen.
1t remained for America to tax her
subjects through class laws to that
degree that private citizens could
put 81, 900, 900 in a caravansary in
which the Doodle gang can rest
their cary limbs in their journey
from this to their abode beyond.

In Europe the feudal lords made
common cause against the people,
from. whom they forced taxes with
which to build castles in which to
feast their sovereigns and courtiers,
and to fee to as cities of refuge
when overcome, AS they sometimes
were, by fellow-robber lords. To
those robber lords were given large
areas of land by the sovereign, for
their assistance in grinding the
people. Those large areas Of land
to-day constitute the dukedoms and
other entailed estates, and to-day
the estates founded by robbery con-
troll the destinies of Europe. The
same system obtains in the United
States, with this difierence-the
robber lords are NOT fighting one
another. They are working in har-
mony to secure better results.

Some Russian "Conveniences."

A person living in Russia cannot just
ly complain of ennui, for there a child
ten years of age may only go from home
to school with passport. Servants and
peasants cannot go away from where
they live without a passport. A gentle
man residing at st. Petersburg or Mos
COW cannot receive the visit of friend
who remains many hours without noti-
flying the police of his arrival. The
porters of all houses are compelled to
make returns of the arrival and depar-
ture of strangers. And for every one Of
the above passports a charge is made Of
some kind. As for foreigners, the solic-
itude of the authorities for their "com-
fort" is really touching. They are
scarcely allowed to breathe without pass
ports, for which fees are asked.

the professor bent over to examine the
bottle it exploded.
One eye was literally cut to shreds by
the glass splinters, and the other badly
injured, and both had TO be removed as
soon as possible. The victim is but
twenty-eight years old, yet had already
achieved high reputation as professor of
chemistry and had bright future before
him. He is a son of the late Judge J. V.
Campbell, of the supreme court of Mich
igan, and has wife and two children.
His agony was terrible, and be prayed
for death as relief when told that re-
covery Of sight was hopeless. But the
shock to his general system was very
slight, and he is recovering rapidly.

PRINTED IN ARABIC.


America Has New Paper of a Novel
Kind.
The first Arabic newspaper on the
western continent has begun its weekly
issue from its Office at AZ Pearl street,
New York, and its name is The Kawkab
America, which means "Star of Amer
ica." There is no such paper in Europe
or in any other country where Aryan
tongues prevail, yet, strange to say, The
Kawkab has large constituency al
ready assured.
1t is a surprise and freshens ones
impression that New York is truly cos
mopolitan, to learn that there are in
that city 1000 Arabs, Syrians, Persians
and others whose written language is
Arabic. In both Americas there are,
says The Kawkab, about l50, 600 and in
all the world 270,00O,000. 1t will be
edited and published by Mr.. N. J. Ar
beely, interpreter in the bureau of i'm
migration, and his brother, DIR. A. j.
Arbeely. and will be not only the organ
of all readers of Arabic in America, but
a medium of spreading information
about them and the United States among
their congeners in Asia and Africa.

Austria was the dominant power in Ger

Although the progress of the country
has been so rapid and all western visit

much remains to be done that the future

ropeans shows remarkable change
from the days when the mikado lived
absolutely secluded.
1t is probable that no mans career
is more familiar to Americans than is

German affairs that there is talk of his
return to power The latest pictures of
these two as presented here look familiar
enough, but it may excite surprise to
learn that the third is that of the en-
peror of Japan.
His majesty, Mutsuhito, is, however,
really man of more importance for the
future than either of the others, for he
is in the midst of his great work. No
other country in the world probably has
made such swift advances in the past
twenty-five years as Japan, and it is
largely the work of this ruler. The Jap
anese were long ago called the yankees
Of the orient" and since 1867 they have
adapted their systems of trade, dress, so
ciety md government to the western
model so rapidly that they are counted
among the most advanced of nations.
They are indeed a peculiar people, and
among their many peculiarities not the
least is that they are the only nation in
the world practically without religion.

An ENGLISH LAWYERS "Reports."

The humor of the legal mind is some
times trife subtle, writes a London
correspondent Of the Yorkshire Post
There is just now to be seen in the win
dow of a famous secondhand bookshop
in the Strand a complete set of Voltaire
in fifty volumes. The set is bound in
what is technically known as Flaw
calf" 1t has evidently belonged to a
lawyer who hesitated to let his clients
perceive that he was given to reading
anything so mischievopsly frivolous as
the philosopher of Ferney, or who could
not resist his own little joke. Instead,
therefore, of lettering the volumes "Vol-
taire," which everybody would have un.
derstood, he had them inscribed "Arou-
cts Reports" The joke would of course
be lost upon those who happened to have
forgotten that the great philosophers
proper name was Arouet de Voltaire.

Christians, but will, of course, avoid
anything calculated to offend Moham-

THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLES.

defiant of the laws of the land as when

the village does SO at the peril of his life.
Hardly day passes that one of them is
not attacked and beaten, and undoubt-
eddy such occurrences would be much
more numerous if it were not that
most of the non-union workers keep out

liberty, far more powerful for OPP
preston than any or all of these combl-
nations. Its aims and purposes are essen
TALLY like those of these combinations.
But while they undertake to control
the price and the output of sugar and oil,
it seeks to control the price and output
of human labor 1t may be very prop
erly styled the Labor Trust. 1t says to
every man, ''You may sell your labor
provided you are willing to conform to
certain terms dictated by us; otherwise
not" And it undertakes to enforce
it's DEGREES by tine employment of
brute force. The penalty of dis
obedience is jeopardy to life
and limb. 1t defies the laws of
God and the statutes of man. 1t
beats down opposition with the blud-
geon and enforces its memorable DEGREES
at the pistols point Combinations of
workingmen to raise the price of labor
are legitimate. Any number of working
men have an undoubted right to agree
that they will work only for a certain
rate of wages. Whatever coercion this
agreement puts upon the employer is
legitimate, and we have no doubt it is
well for the working men that they have
been able to gather into these unions so
many of their fellows that the degree of
coercion has been considerable. But
when as at Homestead they undertake
by force to compel all men who have
labor to sell to sell at their price or not
at all they are encroaching upon the
rights of others. They have become
public enemies to be put down by the
strong arm of the law. No set of men
will be allowed in this country to long
control by force the output and the price
of labor any more than the output and
price of the necessaries of life. In at
tempting to lit they are simply inviting
their own destruction.

The advent of the millennium is set
for the fourth of March. After that the
rich will cease to grow richer and the
poor poorer; all the abandoned farms
will be taken up; there will be no more
strikes or lockouts; everybody will re-
ceive just the reward he wants for his
labor; there will be no more poor crops
nor low prices for them; the American
merchant marine will cover the sea.
everybody will have money enough and
of just the kind he wants; everything
that man has to sell will command a
high price and everything that he has to
buy will command low price-in short
the ideal situation foretold by Col. Wat
terson's Star-eyed Goddess will have ar
rived.
