Strike at the Polls.

Men of the Masses. Graduates in
the school of experience. have you yet
to learn that independent political
action is the only remedy for the
evils that cause the discomfort OF
wageworkers that end in strikes and
lock outs?
In such unequal contests between
labor and capital, labor goes over
the hills to the poor house long be-
fore capital seriously feels the press
ure OF resulting losses.
Consolidated corporate monopolies
fear not disunited labor organiza-
tions. Divided and conquered" is
the mOnotonous record OF nearly
every strike of railroad employees.
There is but one way out of the woods.
Opportunity suggests but one line OF
action. United support Of the only
political party that demands legisla-
tion in harmony with the theories
forming the basis of most of the ex-
listing labor organizations is the only
hope of the masses, in their present
struggle for supremacy with mo.
4opoly.
If the time, energy and money
worse than wasted on strikes within
the last ten years had been expended
in the organization of an independ.
ent peoples party, remedial legisla.
tion would, ere this, have left no &C.
casiOn for strikes.
just SO long as you dividedly sap
port rival monopolistic political
parties, the steadily aggressive move
ments Of your employers will surely
lend in your defeat and enslavement,
and every defeated strike adds one
more rivet to the calling letters Of
monopoly manacled labor.
The fault, We sidetracked strikers oil
Buffalo and elsewhere, lis not in y ou1
stars, but in yourselves, that you are
underlings.''
A millionaire monopolist said, lit
is cheaper to buy legislators than to
buy states to elect them"
Does not your strike experiences
open your eyes to the fact that rail
road officials, in their dealings with
some of the chiefs of your organiza-
tions, have not forgotten the nearest
cheapest way to defeat strikers?
Until you reduce the salaries of the
officials of your organizations to the
wages of your most worthy members,
said officials will determinedly oppose
your supplanting strikes with inde
pendent voting. When, through the
triumph of the peoples party, the
basic principles OF the great labor o, :
EXAMINATIONS are embodied in the law
|.of the land, the mission of your high
salaried officials will be ended, and
STRIKES and lockouts cease to trouble.
1.-The Buffalo switchman's strike is
Off" Thus few more victims are
added to the long list OF the members
of striking labor organizations who
vainly put their trustin the wisdom
and integrity of their leaders.
The peoples party opens the gates
of opportunity for the monopoly
despolled, toiling masses, to unite,
and secure to every citizen his equit-
able portion of the rewards of in
dustry, intelligence and economy.
Stay in the old parties, and you
continue to be slaves Of soulless cor.
porations. Join the ranks of the peo-
Piles party and be free!-Dr. Beecher,

Peculiarities of Birds and Animals,

"Some animals exhibit queer lack
Of sense says man vino has observed
them. ''Put a buzzard in a pen about
six feet square, and open at the top, and
it is as much of prisoner as though it
were shut up in box. This is because
buzzards always begin their flight by
taking short run, and they either can
not or will not attempt to fly unless
they can do so. Again, take common
bum blebee and put it in goblet. It
will remain a prisoner for hours, trying
to escape through the sides, without
ever thinking Of escaping from the top.
So also bat can not rise from a per-
fectly level surface. Although it is re-
markedly nimble in it's flight when
once on the wing, and can fly for many
hours at a time without taking the least
rest, if placed on the floor or on fiat
ground it is absolutely unable to use it's
wings. The only thing it can do is to
shuttle helplessly and painfully along
until it reaches some trifing elevation,
from which it can throw itself into the
air, when at once she is off like flash.

proprietors of between thirty five and
forty of the most prosperous gold and
silver mines in this country are known
to have come to just such ends. Out of
the forty or less twelve were shot or
stabbed to death in saloon and other
broils; five committed suicide; three
were engulfed by landslides; five turned
mifa.dcrers or robbers and were caught
and executed in various ways; one fell
into a boiling spring and had the flesh
literally stewed from his bones, while
the others disappeared and no one
knows what ever became of them.

TIE ATHENS BANNER FOR HILL.
Another Good Newspaper Joins the Fight
for Hill and Victory.

ATHENS, Ga, February 20.--[specal. up
to date The Athens Banner has occupied
neutral ground with reference 10 the presi-
dental race, not announcing for either Hill or
Cleveland. But after a careful survey of the
field The Banner has reached the conclusion
chat the best interests of the democratic party
are represented by David b. Hill, and that he
lis the man for the people. The Banner comes
sOuarely ont for Hill in the following editorial ::
In the present condition of affairs the demo-
cratic party is in search of the candidate who can
carry the doubtful states and win the victory.
The contest seems to be between Hin and
Cleveland in New York, and the chances of these
two members of the party are being discussed all
.oyer the union.
AS to Mir. Cleveland, we would say that. while ne
is steriin. democrat, o man OF fearlessness and
many eases nevertheless lie is to mind very
clearly not the man for the party to put forward
as its candidate this fall We do not believe Mr.,
Cleveland can carry the doubtful states, and his
nomination. in opinion, would, under the eX-
isting circumstances, be a fatal mistake.
The Indications now point to Mr. Hill as the
mort available man in the party for the nominal
ton. 1t cannot be questioned that he is very
strong in New York. We believe that he can
carry New Jersey and Connecticut, and wish the
aid OF a western vice presidential candidate can
carry Indiana. The sold south will support Mr..
Hill as the nominee. and thus victory viii be
suTed Hill is uu iolibtediy the choice Of the New
York democracy, and that fact alone should
weigh heavily in the contest.

Hill Is on q Tidal Wave.


KNOXVILLE Tenn, February 16.-[Special. ]
David 3. Hill is on the tidal wave in this end
of the state.
General J. G. j. Williams, probably tho
most prominent democrat in this end OF the
state, and power over the state in politics,
has come out boldly for Hill.
In an interview General Williams says that
while he admres Cleveland for his services to
his country and party, he is not the man to
nominate, and that he would be defeated IN
New York. General Williams is doing all in
his power here for Hill, and other prominent
men are joinngsin. There is not much doubt
but that Hill delegation will go from this
end of the state to the conven-
ton at Nashville. which selects
delegates to the national convention.
The Evening Sentinel made it's first appear
ance this evening. 1t is under the editorial
control of Ex-Governor 0. i. Pennington, OF
Dakota. He was the appointee Of Cleveland
as territorial governor of Dakota. In lead
ing editorial The Sentinel takes strong grounds
for Hill for president and Boies for vice presi-
dent.
Another important and significant piece OF
news comes tonight from Nashville. A poll
tician of this city, Of more than local note says
The Nashville American. will come out in a
few days for Hill. He says further, that on
the inside at Nashville it is given out that
Senators Harris and Bate will announce for
Hill.
1t may DO stated that while few months
ago a Hill man could scarcely be found in this
county, on a primary vote Hill would now
win over Cleveland. New men are joining the
Hill ranks daily.
The Young Mems Central Democratic Club,
of East Tennessee. it is stated by one OF its
officers, will call a meeting and endorse Hill
for tho democratic nomination.

Frank Campbell, the comptroller OF the state,
WHO comes from the Steuben senatorial district,

politics that they're fighting such n consummate
