1t is now three years since Henry
Bergh died. The day will come when
the world will give Bergh's name and
works the place they so richly deserve,
for he was friend to all brute crea-
ton, and as such labored until the
now-famous Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, became
an established fact, caused drinking
fountains to be erected here and there,
and his underlings kept close watch
upon human brutes who ill-used dumb
brutes. Such mans memory can
not die. 1t is like the lasting popu-
larity OF the St. Paul & Duluth Rail-
road, which still maintains firm
hold upon the good will OF it's many
patrons. Known far and wide as
'"The Duluth Short Line" it enjoys
increasing favor as the best route for
all to take when desirous of going
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Duluth, West Superior, Saltwater
and Taylor Falls or vice versa, be-
cause it's service is so good and it's
road SO well equipped. For circulars,
etc, apply to Geo. W. Bull, General
Passenger agent, or Geo. C. Gilfillan,

A special dispatch to the Chicago
Daily News of March 3, says, in
speaking OF the Free Coinage bill:
"The treasury department officials
are looking forward with uneasiness
and apprehension at the unsettled
condition of the business and finan-
cial affairs of the country as a result
of the coming congressional battle
over the Coinage question. 1t is not
through any fear OF the possible
passage OF crazy financial legislation,
for the heads OF the departments are
fully assured that such legislation
cannot become law, even though it
may get through both branches of
congress.
The house committee on Rules re-
ported rule which sets March %,
% and p, for the special considera-
ton Of the free silver bill. The Rules
Committee bill was adopted in the
house on the last Monday, the vote
standing t194 to 70. The doings OF
those three days in March will leave
their impress on the history OF this
country.

sickly success. The men who call the
reformers of to day ''mud diggers"
"hayseeds," "moss backs" calamity
howlers, scorchers, and anarchists
and other opprobrious titles are in
many instances descendants of fathers
who thirty years ago were targets for
the same kind of men, belonging to
the same kind of party-a party that
had no living issues, a party that
had outlived it's usefulness, as have
the old parties of this day, who stood
in fear and trembling of principles,
progress and reform. But the car
of justice rolled on regardless OF their
sneers, falsehoods, and ridicule; and
so the reform train of '92 will as
effectually crush out the vital spark
OF the calamity makers" The
calamity maker, is the cause, the
calamity bowler is the effect, cause
and effect are inseparable.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1892-03-11

Brother alliance men-when the
appellation of calamity howler'' is
thrown into your face, as is often the
case, an epithet of disgrace and dis
cord, do not squirm or finch but re-
eeive it with subdued Joy, and con-
slider it an honor conferred upon
you as a member of the great re-
form party. This scheme of the
twin plutes-the old parties-trying
to kill or break the strength OF the
combined labor organization of this
nation by attempting to laugh
them down, or ridicule them into sill
ence and inaction, is a plan that
won't work in this enlightened age.
1t is true that rtdicule is often used
as weapon of defence in cases that
are hopeless, where logic and reason
have no foothold, but it's edge is
blunted and dulled when it comes
in contact with hard, cold
facts. There is no argument in call
ing names, in sneers and ridicule
These methods of warfare are as guns
loaded with wet powder, or a broken
swords in the hands of poor soldiers.

The wants and desires oil the labor
ing classes the world over are iden-
dical. 1t matters not whether they
breath the air under a monarchial
form of government or drink in the
atmosphere of a republic. Justice
is the underlying principle of good
government, and with that wanting
there is justifable discomfort. The
late demonstration by the unemploy-
ed workmen OF Berlin against the edict
OF an overbearing ruler testifies to
the fact that standing armies can
not kill the spirit of men. Their
appeals were for justice, asking that
their wrongs be righted; that con-
ditions for which they were not res
ponsible might be changed; that
their present poverty and hopeless
future might he in a measure amelio-
ated. These Socialists have inser-
ted in their platform of principles
planks which have their counterpart
in some of the demands made by the
Peoples party at the St. Louis Con-
vention, which voiced the sentiments
of the producers and bread-winners
of this country, and which demand
the right, through legislation, Of self
protection against the usurpation of
capitalists and combines.

The Light OF Other DAVIS,

The date when man first discovered
how to supply himself with artificial
light must be very far back, but
many generations went before he had
anything better than torches for out
door use, and for indoor convenien
ces a wick floating loosely in a vessel
OF oil. Gas as an illuminant is not
old, the electric light is the invention
OF yesterday. The soldiers of the late
war remember "star" candles very
well, but doubtless few can tell whence
the name. The discoverer of a pro-
cess in. the making of candles was the
Frenchman DeMille, whose factory at
Paris was located at the 'sBarriere"
de rEtoile-''barrier Tor gate) of the
star" and from this circumstance his
manufactures were known as "star"
candles. The days OF such illumin-
ators are gone, and the luxurious
cars OF our modern railroads are
lighted by gas or electricity. To
many eyes, however, the electric glare
is unpleasant, but all are satisfied
with the soft yet brilliant illumination
of '"The Burlington's" vestibuled
train by the Frost Dry Carburetor
System. For tickets over this pop-
ular line, or any Information, call on
local ticket agents, or write to w. J.
Z. kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent, St.

Bro. Jorgensen, one OF the true
blue alliancemen of Wright Co.,
writes us from Keystone that the
blackbirds that have wrought such
havoc heretofore in his section are
reinforced this year by English spar
rows. So serious and so widespread
are the depredations of these pests
that Mr.. Jorgensen feels the need of
state aid in discriminating them. Mr..
Jorgensen is a stalwart champion of
the land loan and sub-treasury

The information which has been
so freely dealt out to the masses of
the people by the gold bug-ites,
that the gold that was sent out OF
the country last spring and summer
would return during the first half
of the present year, reinforced by a
large amount OF foreign coin, has
proved to be false prediction. For
instead of this condition OF things
there still remains $5O,OOO,O0O of
gold abroad, and the season OF the

amount has already been sent out
with, doubtless, more to follow.

The Great Northwest.

The steady settlement OF lands in
Montana and Washington, the SUBJ
stantial growth of their cities, and
the constant increase of their rail
way mileage, have rendered these
states a center of interest for bust
ness men, capitalists and settlers.
The best explanation OF this growth
is found in q study OF the capabilities
and resources of the states, which
are fully set forth in three folders en-
titled Golden Montana" Eastern
Washington" and "Western Wash
ington," Just issued by the Northern
Pacific Railroad.
District Passenger Agents of
