Rotten System.

A financial system under which
more than one-half of the enormous
wealth of the country, derived from
the bounty of nature and the labor
of all, is owned by a little more than
thirty thousand people, while one
million American citizens, able and
willing to toll, are homeless tramps,
starving for bread, requires readiust-
ment. A social system which offers
to tender, virtuous and dependent
women the alternative between pros
titution and suicide as an escape
from beggary, is organized crime, for
which some day unrelenting justice
will demand atonement and expia-
tion.-John J. ingalls,.
Here is what Hogg has to say;
"Last year the federal government
took from the people for revenue by
way of a tariff $430,00O,OO0 and the
railroads took for transportation,
which is tax upon the people,
$1,970,0O0,000. The federal tax and
the railroad tax amounted together
to more than all the circulating me-
dunn Of the country. Then if it
takes all the money of the U. S. to
pay the federal tax and the railroad
tax, | ask what will the people do
business with? It is a problem Of
finance that the American patriots
would do we'll to think about. But
they say it is federal matter. ltell
you reforms always begin with the
people. Let us set the example in
Texas Texas granted railroads 49,
100000 acres of land, which at 81
an acre amount to more than the
whole assessed values of the rail
roads, amounting to $63,OOO,oOO.
But these railroads have on them
$455,00O,000 of bonds and stock,
amounting to more than half the
assessed value of the whole state, in
Guiding the railroads, and more than
the land valuation Of the state. Is
not that a serious menace? Are
those bonds and stocks legitimate
and ought not the people to have the
power to investigate this question =?

of experience in the treatment of these
dreadful diseases, he is yet an ardent

DIR. Woolley, unlike q great many

extract or eradicate the effects of these
drugs from the human body is an art
to which DR.. Wolley can justly lay

his hundreds of patients who have been
thoroughly and soundly cured. Being
a mar of scholarly attachments, he has

There r yet some large trees in
Louisiana as this account taken from
the Donaldsonville Chief shows +:
It measured seven feet cross the
butt, and eighty-four feet to the first
limb-the latter being something OF
a tree itself, as its diameter was
twenty-five inches. This monster
tree was perfectly sound and when
run through the mill will turn out
something like 1000 feet of lumber,
or 10 other words, sufficient lumber
and shingles to build a good size
house; from the slaos sufficient laths
can be cut to plaster the house. and
pickets enough to fence in the lot;

The Nichols administration not
only paid all the running expenses
of the State during the past year,
but has o large surplus of cash in
the State treasury. Judge 'McEnery
the lottery nominee for Governor,
in his letter of acceptance, says that
the State government can't be run
and pay expenses on a 6 mill State
tax. Knowing what the Nichols
administration has done, there must
be one of two things certain: Either
McEnery will not make a compe-
tent, economical Governor, or else
he wished to assist the lottery, in
advocating that the State tax be
increased. Take either horn of the
dilemma, and out of his own mouth
McEnery admits that he is an in
competent man or a great rascal in
claiming to be an anti.lottery man,
yet making capital for the lottery,

The Land Loan Bill.

Senator Sanford Of California has
introduced in the Senate his land
loan bill. The bill proposes the
issue of the United States circnlat~
ing notes to the amount Of 100000,
and such additional amounts from
time to time as shalt be necessary to
meet the requirements of the act, to
be lent under the supervision Of a
land loan bureau to owners of agri-
cultural lands to an amount not ex.
ceeding half the assessed valuation
of the land at the rate of 2 per cent,
ia the street. He replied to the
criticisms Of the committee on f.
nance 10 its adverse report on a like
bill at the last session, aud argued
that the precedeEts cited in that re-
port of the failure of similar schemes
In France in 1892, and the Argen-
tine Republic recently, did not ap.
ply to the proposed measures. which
was entirely different in principle.
! He contended also that the commit
tee was in error when it assued that
the bill could not be made available
to any other class than farmers. 1t
was, on the contrary, intended for
the benefit of all classes. He spoke
at length in advocacy of his we'll
known views upon this subject.
In the course Of a lengthy speech
Mr.. PETER said Remove from
the vitals of the people the destroy
ing virus of the usurer; lift from
their homes the incubus of debt;
dispel the clouds which hover about
the farmers horizon; carry bread
and cheer TO the toilers and let the
sunshine pour into every household,

ton here. You will bring God

LOOKING FOR A HOME.
4 Handsome Structure Promised for
the Female College.
THE LOCATION STILL IN DOUBT.
1t Will Either Be Built in Allegheny or
Upon the Old Site.
THE STRUCTURE WILL COST $S5,OO(

The Pittsburg Female College, which has
been dragging along in an uncertain sort of
way since the destruction of Christ NJ. E.
Church and the damaging of the college
building by fire two winters ago, is to re-
reive an impetus that will set il up among
the prominent institutions of the country.
The Board of Trustees have
decided to erect a frst-class col
lege building The only indefinite
part of the programme ct present is its
location. A church corporation has an
option, extending to January l, on the
piece of property at the corner OF Mont
Tomery avenue and Arch street, Allegheny,
owned and occupied as residence by q. b:
Barrett, the wholesale jeweler. IT the
option is forfeited, the trustees of the col
lege will purchase the property, paying
FITS, 900 for it, and will locate the new build
ing there. II they fail to secure this place,
they will erect the new college on the site
Of the old property, on Ninth street.
Will Erect Handsome Building.
The trustees intend to expend $4,000 on
the structure. 1t will be five stories high,
constructed of brick with brown stone
front, will contain q large gymnasium.
chapel and music hall, parlors, class rooms,
bedrooms, elevator, etc, and will be lighted
bv electricity and heated bv steam. There
will be accommodations for so boarders and
800 dav scholars. William S. Fraser, the
architect, has the plans in preparation. An
attempt will be made to induce the Pitts
burg School of Design to leave the Y. NJ.
c. a. building. move to the new structure
and take charge Of the art department. The
faculty will also be increased and strength
ened.
DR.. Norcross, President of the college,
stated TO a DISPATCH reporter last night
that final action would be token on the
affairs of the college at a meeting of the
Board of Trustees, some time after Janu-
arv l, when John G. Holmes, President of
the beard, returns from the East, where he
is recuperating his health.
An Early Start Anticipated.
Said he:: 1--WE have been holding back,
expecting TO sell our property, but the real
estate agent having the matter in charge
told me Yesterday that he had no purchaser
in sight We will begin to push matters
after the meeting of the Board of Trustees

/. 7 Yoder, the wholesale confectioner,
offered to buv the Ursuline Academy in
Oakland at $780, 600 and sell the building
and five acres of ground TO the Female
College for $50, 900, expecting to reimburse
himself by selling the remainder-nine
acres-in building lots Before the trustees
could take action the trustees of the Ur-
suline Academy decided to hold the prop
ertv and parcel portion of the ground in
lots and sell them to pay off their indebted
ness. A part of the scheme was to unite
Allegheny College, now at Meadville, with
the Pittsburg Female College, but DIR. Nor
cross stated last night that it was i'm
practicable, as Allegheny College was too
firmly rooted in its present location.

The Commissioners VIII Determine the
Site for the Allegheny Postoffice.
Hon. John NJ Grear, of Washington; D.
B. Oliver, of this city, and Mr.. Shersr, OF
Stsubenville, the commissioners appointed
to select site for the Allegheny postofice,
met in parlor A of the Duquesue Hotel
last evening. Although a number of sites
were offered for consideration, the three
gentlemen arrived at no definite conclusion.
They will visit Allegheny to-day and ex-
anime the sites with the view of obtaining
the best location for the most reasonable
amount of money. Mr.. oliver is in favor
of one of the corners in tine Diamond. The
Mckee property at West Diamond and
Ohio streets is considered the most available,
but its price is against its selection. The
commissioners will probably reach deci-
sion today.

VIOLATED A HEALTH Law.

A Garbage Hauler Fined for Keeping His
Wagon Open.
Robert Souttsman was fined S. and costs
yesterday By Judge Gripp for having one OF
his garbage wagons driven through the
street without being properly covered.
Superintendent Baker made the informa-
tion. He explained to Judge Gripp the law
requiring that the wagons be carefully
covered and he also said that he had on
several occasions personally notified Soutts-
man to keep his wagons covered.
When imposing sentence Judge Grlpp
explained that much disease and contagion
was spread through the city by the open
garbage wagons and he said that another
violation would guarantee $40 fine.
