kind Of abuse. 1t would be fitting to

The conditions here described are not
limited to the localities here referred to.
They are common to every section Of the
country The Boston Traveller of DsCem-
Der 16, editorislly treats Of the measures
Of relief for the destitute Of that city
that have been proposed and undertaken.
The manufacturing districts of the east
and the mining districts Of the west and
south are suffering in like manner. Mil
lions Of men are idle and perishing with
hunger and cold, while the country is
glutted with food and clothing for which
there is no market because those who
need it cannot buy.
We would like here, if space would
permit, to present some Of the COM
ments Of republican and democratic pa
psrs concerning these poor people to
show their absolute hesrtlessness and
brutality. The Topeka Capital, Of De-
cember 5, editorislly said Of Governor
Lewelling's circular:
"The circular is q sort of Christmas
gift to tramps, and when the prisoners
at the penitentisry read this literary
curiosity from that brave defender Of
PopuliSt doctrines, the Prison Trusty,
they will all claim the governor az q
sympsthizing friend. They will join him
in condemnation of the law against
vHgrancy and 90 one step further and
find fault with the conditions" that
compel them to wear the gsrb OF crimi-
nails"
And in another place the following:
'"The Associated press last night asked
for the Lewelling executive circular
in full for the press Of the country. This
morning all over the United States peo-
pie will be asking: what kind Of gov
ernor have they out in Kansas to be
giving official sympathy to tramps and
criminslsP' Once more the Populist sd-
ministrstion causes every man who loves
his state to blush for the disgrace Ropu-
lism has brought upon Kansas"

"The mother began her story by pro-
testing: But you must make them un-
derstand that il we could mortgage the

Of our furniture, which is all paid for, we

not ask for q cent, but the school teacher
came around to see why the children

president of the Womsn's Aid society it
was because they had no shoes. When
the woman came around, l would not

DEsT1TUTIoN AMONG ITALIANS.
ut is not the one story that is VRlus-
ble. Every other house on the street
could have told a story Of similar me-
ture. Perhaps there are not many where
could be found such sweetness of home
life, but in most of them there was just
as high pride, and the Self-respect was
just as painfully wounded by the &C.
Ceptance of charity.
"In the italian quarters there must be
reported more acute dsstitution. In the
first place the Italians are filthy, and
their dark, smoky rooms were disgust
ingly cared for. They are quick beggsrs.
Father, mother and children parade
their poverty in the hopes Of something
being given. This class Of people lived
in the same manner when they had good
wages, and when surplus money was sent
TO relatives in Italy. It is suspected that
many Of them have money hidden, and
the local committee have but little relish
in helping them. Still they are famished
and without clothing, and it would be an
act OF bRrbRrism to let them die in their
novels. Nearly every Italian family in
town is on the poor list, and once week
they are given enough food to keep them
alive. There are more people Of this
nationality here than in any other town
In the Upper Peninsula.
SCHOOL CHILDREN AND SHOES.
"Ths Michigan visiting committee had
q conference with the Women's Aid
Society and learned that the women had
been effective in their charity. They
are trying earnestly to get shoes and
stockings so that they can start hun
dreds Of children to school This town
has 1000 school children. The ladies
are also doing q wholesale good work in
carrying dslicacies to homes whore there
are invslids. 1t is not easy for sick
person to recover health on salt pork and
bread.
"When this investigation committee
makes its report to General Algsr's COM
mittee, it will be to the effect that be-
tween 5000 and 10000 people in the
Gogebic and Menominee ranges will
have to be supported during the winter.
This will cost 90 an individual, perhaps
little less. The grand total Of this il
$4,000 month. This for four months
will make q grand total Of $4,000. This

was trying to sell $4,000 worth Of bonds
TO add this smOunt to the poor fund.
There was q legal diHiculty,in tho way
and besides there Wss nc place TO sell
the bonds. When this plan fell through,
the authorities were left without cent

time drawn heavily on the next years

committee telegrsphed iR aid was needed
the mayor replied in the affirmative.
RELIEF NOT WELL ORGANIZED.
"Whsn Mr.. Msybury told them that
what they wanted was data the local
committee was unable TO furnish it.
They had not organized 90 thoroughly for
the relief work, and consequently to-day
the visiting committee could not get the
accurate reports it wanted.
,"Outsids Of Iron Mountain the largest
town in the country is Norway. It has
about 5000 people, and the largest mine
10 the Arsgon. It employed when work
ing to its full capacity 1000 people. It
is now working 200 at about half the
wages they were then getting. Only
married men are at work. These men
have been receiving the same reduced
wages all summer, and have been able to
make no preparations for the winter.
They are sadly in need Of shoes and
stockings. The children are unable 10

are number Of smaller villages around
Norway all supported by the Penn mines
the largest of which is the Vulcan. In
prosperous times these mines employed
about 800 and now they have 800 On tho
payroll. Those are mostly Italians and
the wages have been reduced to the low
eat figure. The other towns Of the coun-
try are mostly logging settlements. They
are all right, as there is plenty OF work
Ia the woods. In fact there Is demand
Tor lumbermen that cannot DO quickly

worthless in the woods. They are will
ing to work for "a or $5 q month, but
that leaves nothing for the family at
home.
ain the city Of IrOnwood the largest
mine is the Chaplin. In lively times 1t
employs between 1890 and 1900 people.
Now the superintendent and two or
three assistants constitute the whole
force. This mine is operated by the

The men are only paid half the wages

"Ths Chaplin mine is in the hands OF

bank has "a collateral security 60 per

Ludington and Hamilton are still filed
with water and it would take some time
after the water il taken out to put them

only employs $50 men part Of the time
at half wages. The effect Of the
work Of the Michigan relief com
mittee has been pronounced here. AS
the gentlemen were leaving, prominent
citizens in expressing their thanks said
that the promised relief had averaged
trouble az serious as starvation. There
has already BEEN one demonstration on
the streets that was portentous of vio-
lence. About 600 men marched up and
down the streets one afternoon crying
that they wanted bread or work. They

"It seeems almost Incredible from q

Mountain is q well built town with

The musical concert given at the
Rogersyille Synedical College by Prof
Hans Mettke, the celebrated violin
list, was one OF the most enjoyable
entertainments our people have had
for long time. Prof. Mettke is mas
ter of his instrument, and his repe-
toire of music is unexcelled. An
attractive feature of the evening was
the recitiations rendered by Miss
Minnie Dobson, who is pronounced
the best elocutionist our people have
heard for many years. Pref. Mettke
gave two concerts for the benefit OF
the young ladies OF the college.
On next Friday night, Nov 18th,
DR.. J B. Henneman, of the Univer-
sity OF Tennessee, will give lecture
in the college chapel on the subject
OF "Woman in Literature" DR.. Hen
neman distinguished himself ut the
German University, at Leipsic, and is
favorably known as one of the leading
teachers of literature. These musicales
and lectures come IN the regular
course OF college lectures and recitals.
The second term OF the college be-
gins today. The rolls will be increased
by a number OF new students. The
teachers and faculty are delighted
with the progress Of the work Of this
session, which promises to be one 70
unusual interest. The college has
superior class of young ladies, who
are delighted with the surroundings,
and are eager in their college work.
