Fugitive
Guens, September 17.-In the last "a
hours the population of this little town
has been doubled by the arrival Of thou
sands eager to see the man@uyres Of the
Austro-Hungarian army, The King OF
Saxony was the first foreign sovereign to
arrive. He came on special train at
$50 o'clock. Emperor Williams special
train arrived at 3.35. AS the Emperor
appeared in the uniform of the Hungarian
Hussars, the crowd on the platform
shouted Welcome and the thousands
behind cheered. The bands struck up
in unison the first notes of the German
national anthem. Amid pealing bells,
cheering of people and crashing of mar
tial music, the two emperors proceeded
with their suites to their quarters.
At $50 there was a grand dinner, at
tended by the emperors, the King of
Saxony, archdukes and the generals.
The town-is illuminated this evening and
the streets are crowded. Many must
sleep all night in the fields, as every pos
sible lodging place has been engaged
days in advance.

Rio Said To Be in the Hands of the In
surgents.
New York, September 16.-The Her
ald's Buenos Ayres correspondent cables:
News which has been received from Rio
de Janeiro indicates that the situation
there is very serious. 1t is believed here
that the navy revolters have gained a
foothold in the capital. President Peix-
otto, it is learned, has abandoned the
coast of the bay of Rio and the capital
and retired to Santa Anna, with that por-
ton of the army which still remains
loyal to him. Here he will await an at
tack from the landing party, which will
be sent from the rebel ships, the Aquida-
pan. the Republica and the Trajano. Ad-
vices from Rio state that the lombard
ment of the city has been suspended.
Private dispatches state that the damage
to the city by the guns of the fleet was
much greater than the government re-
ports stated 1t required prompt inter-
ference on the part of foreign warships
in the harbor to protect property IN the
city. Word has been received that the
revolution is spreading. It is now re-
ported that the States of Bahia and Per-
nambuco have declared in favor of the
revolutionists. Fhe garrisons in Fort
Villegagnon and al of the other forts in
the harbor of Rio de Janeiro except one,
have revolted and joined Admiral Mel
los forces.
Preparations have been made In the
harbor of Rio Grande to resist an attack
from a hostile squadron. All the forts
in the harbor are manned with soldiers
under fighting orders. Buoys in the har-
Dor have been removed and torpedo
mines placed directly in the course of in
coming ships. 1t is reported that two
vessels have left La Plata with arms and
provisions for Admiral Mello's squadron.
The loyal warship, the Tiradentes, has
put to sea to overtake them If possible.
The Brazilian minister here refuses to be
interviewed, but it is said that he has
expressed the opinion that the situation
in Rio is very grave. =.
From the tone Of the Brazilian news
papers received here it is predicted that
Peixoto's government will be overthrown
at an early day. News sent out bearing
favorable tone for the government
should be taken with reserve, as all mes
sages pass through government agents
hands.

Economizing ON Weather Predictions
and Flower Seeds.
Washington, September 16.--Here is
another of Senator Peffer's "by request"
schemes The Kansas Senator does not
wholly indorse it, but says some of the
ideas are very good. The secretary of
the treasury is directed to purchase all
the silver bullion mined in the United
States that may be offered in lots of the
value of not less than 500 each at it's par
value of 81. 1929 per ounce, less the usual
charge for coming ETC., that prevailed
prior to February H. 1873. Gold or sill
yer coins or full legal tender United
States notes, redeemable in gold or silver,
may be employed in the purchase Of this
bullion, and when these notes are re-
deemed they are to be reissued The
silver bullion may be coined into dollars
of 412 1-2 grains, as was done under the
act of January is, 1887, OF the bullion
may be cast into bars, the dollars to be
legal tender for any amount. This bill
directs the secretary of the treasury to
issue eight times the value of the bullion
purchased, in legal tender notes, redeem
able in gold or silver, provided that this
new issue shall not exceed fifty million
dollars in any one month, and shall con-
tinue for three years. A provision at
tached to this bill directs the government
to loan money on real estate to two-third
of it's value at an annual rate of two
per cent, the principal not to run longer
than eight years.
Another "by request" bill offered in the
Missouri, proposes that United States
bank shall be opened in every town of
two thousand inhabitants, in which there
is post Office, by the comptroller of
the currency, who shall appoint the
board of directors for the first year.
After that they shall be chosen by the
stockholders, but the postmaster shall,
ex-officio, be director. The bank is to
be located as near the post office as possi-
ble Interest at the rate of three per cent
shall be allowed on daily balances
without compromising, and the United
States shall guarantee payment of de-
pos1ts and interest.

That Asylum Steal.

Many ADVOCATE readers may have
noticed that republican papers, a few
weeks ago, were making a loud talk to
the effect that certain employees Of the
insane asylum at this place were being
prosecuted through partisan motives, be-
cause they were republicans. But the
reader may not. have understood why this
talk ceased sosuddenly. The truth is this:
Alex. Luke, who was for five years coal
boss at the asylum, together with two
other men named Bond and Fields, were
charged with stealing and receiving
stolen property from the asylum grounds,
TO the amount Of over 800, the property
being shingles, doors, lumber, etc. Noah
Allen was employed to conduct the case
for the county attorney, and the case
was taken TO Justice Chesney's court.
After Bond and Field were discharged
for lack Of evidence and the public had
been informed through the Topeka and
Chicago dailies that the whole thing was
q malicious prosecution, Luke was given
q fair and impartial hearing, and his own
evidence condemned him. The repnb-
lican justice bound him over for trial in
the district court.

More About Life Insurance.

Without full consideration there may
be those who feel that, in it's reoommen-
dRtion to the members Of the N. F. A. Il
/. U. of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany Of New York, the national exscu-
tive committee has indirectly cast
reflection on the National Alliance Aid.
This is by no means the fact, ss the two
companies do not conflict. The Aid
serves its purpose, that Of SIMPLE protec-
ton in case Of death, Rs long as its men,
bers are willing to meet the assessments
called by the association. The Mutual
Life offers an investment with Ruaran-
teed rates Of interest, the protection or
insurance being q mere incident to the
contract in case of death before matur-
ity. This is clearly demonstrated by the
fact that out OF hundreds OF millions
paid by the Mutual Life to its policy
holders or benefoiaries over 81 per cent.
has been paid to living members; and it
Is this that leads the farmers, business
and professional men OF the country to
look upon the contracts OF the Mutual
Life 40 the safest snd best investment
that can be made.

come TO An agreement, Tor the following
reasons: The majority on the part Of the
senate believe that houPe bill No. 10 would
be wholly unoonstitutiO al should it become
a law; and the committee ON the part Of
the senate believe that said house bill would
only be Of benefit to few wholesale mer-
chants Of q few interior towns Of our state,
and Of no benefit to the rest Of the people of
the state. And that the majority Of the
committee on the part Of the house will not
agree TO report the senate amendment, Civ

time left of this season..
Which is respectfully submitted; and your

productions going to the money loRner,
more and and more of it to general 80
ciety. The many years Of adversely are
due to the opposite fast, more and more
Of labor and it's productions are re-
quired to cancel debts due the money
loRner, and less and less Of it going to
the patronage OF general society.
$50 while 1T is a system of money that
sometimes bears upon the money losner,
yet we see for each year Of his sdversity
he is enriched by four or five Of pros
perity. 1t is four or five to one in favor
Of the money losner aud as an inevitable
consequence, that portion of society
which produces all the wealth, is kept
on the verge Of psuperism, while the
money loRners who do not produce
single cent Of the wealth OF any country,
largely reap all the fruits OF labor"
The above ideas are clearly and forci-
bly, expressed by Prof. Bryant and we
have seen the truth thereof demon
strated since the partial demonetiza-
tion Of silver in 1890. Since then the
prices Of labor and it's productions have
gradually declined and now that the
European system Of gold standard ia
firmly established - until we have q
change Of national administration is
certain that wheat and cotton will de-
cline lower in'prices than ever known in
the history Of our country. This feet
was 80 evident to English capitalists that
they have been steadily at work since
1878 to induce our government to demon
etize silver. In July, 1885, Sir Richard
W. Fowler, OK lord mayor Of London,
and now leading banker, declared be-
for the British chamber Of commerce
SHAT the demonstration of silver must
ultimately be the complete ruin Of the
agricultural export trade of the United
States, and the development Of India as
the chief wheat and cotton exporter Of
the world"
His dirsful predictions are being veri-
fed. Our farmers will have to sell
wheat at 20 cents per bushsl and cotton
at 3 cents per pound in order to outbid
India for the export trade Of the world.
To do this farm labor must accept 10
cents per dBy-as is paid to farm labor
ers Of India-and all other classes Of Ia
borers must suffer q like reduction in
wages in order to compete with labor Of
Europe and India The condition Of the
manufacturer, the merchant and profes-
sionsl man, must all sink with the
foundation, until the idss Of November,
1896, hurl the present republican and
democratic combination of "gold-bug"
forces from all political power. In the
meantime the people will think and keep
on thinking until they will think right,
and then will come the delngs which will
forever free American labor from Euro
peAn and capitslistic greed.
