CANUCKS DON'T LIKE EFT.
An Obnoxious Poster Calling for
Army Recruits.

OTTAWA, Ont. Aug. IA large pos

comment. 1t is notice signed by Re-
cruiting Officer Lieut.. Archer W. Yates,
second lieutenant of the Ninth infan-
try, of Ogdensburg. N. Y, holding out
strong inducements for recruits to Join
the United States infantry and cavalry.
The placard is of recent issue, quotes
the new military law of February
last and mentions the increased rate OF
pay. A Conservative paper, referring
to the matter, says: THAT such a
poster should be displayed in a Can.
adian city is most extraordinary. Bv
some citizens its exhibition in Ottawa is
regarded as brazen piece of etfronterv,
and by others as an indication that the
United States army is so unpopular on
the other side OF the line that enough
recruits cannot be obtained there. ANY
way, the poster ought to be hauled
down.

The greatest flood ever known in the

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Congressman
Hall arrived late last evening, and was
promptly on hand for the opening this
morning. In the drawing for seats he
was the fourth man drawn, and secured
one of the most desirable seats in the
house. 1t is we'll to the front on the
Democratic side, and is in all respects
a desirable location. He will be near
Congressman Bynum and others of his
friends. Next to him the most fortum-
ate Minnesotian was Congressman
Fletcher, who was called rather early,
and secured seat near Tom Reed and
Boutelle. Maj Baldwin was called later,
but is located in desirable place, where
he will have Gen. Tracy,of New York, as
a next door neighDor. Both Tawney
and McCleary were late in being
reached, and are far back on the Re-
publican side. Col. Klefer is located
afar off, but in perhaps trifie better
seat, and Congressman Boen is sepa-
rated from all his PopuliSt brethren in
the rear of the house on the Republican
side.

THE SILVER STRUGGLE.
Interviews With Cochran and
Bland, Leaders of the Two


Bland, Leaders of the Two
Forces.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-For the first
time i'll many years the anti-free COM
age men are the aggressive element in
the house of representatives. Since the
decentralization of silver i'll 1873 the sil-
yer men have been an aggressive ele-
ment in every congress, and have
yearly demanded that atonement be
offered for the "crime OF 49," and that
silver be restored to its place as q
money metal. The militant spirit of
the free coinage element is still to the
front, but there has suddenly appeared
an equally aggressive spirit among the
hitherto conservative and ant-free
coinage men, who have suddenly as
sumed the aggressive and demanded
that the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act be repealed, and that il be done
uncomditionally and at once. The
leader of this element is man
who never follows, but always leads,
Hon. Bourke Cocran, OF New York.
He has been known for many years as
high chieftan of Tammany. as one of
the orators of the day, bat now he ap-
pears in new role-the pOpalarly rec
ognlZed champion of the presidents
financial policy in the halls OF congress.
1t is the element that has B0nrke Cock
ran at its head that today hOists the
black flag and declares no quarter to
the advocates of free coinage. The
immediate and unconditional repeal of
q nj n
committee, is the policy of Mr.. Cochran,
and he today conferred with the silver
men to induce them to agree upon a
plan whereby the issue would be fought
out in the
Halls of Congress
without awaiting the appointment OF
the committee and this reference Gus
tomary under the rules.
According to Mr.. Bland. no agreement
upon the subject of the silver debate in
theshouse is probable just yet. He said
this evening to a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press that Mr.. Cochran and HIM
self had been talking about the matter,
but no authorized proposition had been
made and no conclusion reached
81 told Mr.. Cochran that | would con-
suit with those interested with me III
regard to this question, but l have not
yet been able 20 do so.''
"What were the terms of the proposi.
ton Mr.. Cochran made?'
There has been nothing definite nro-
posed as yet. Mr.. Cochran asked-if we
would consider proposition looking %
an arrangement under which the silver
question could be discussed at once. and
[ told him we wouldsIisteG to him.
"What condition of limitation gov
erning the situation would De accepta-
bic to the silver men?'
I'VE do not want to unduly DELAY
action in the premises" resp onded Mr
Bland, "but we must have opportunity
TO offer, discuss and vote upon amend-
ments which we stal! offer to bill to-
repeal the Sherman law. This must ba
granted, Or there can be, in my opinion,
no agreement regarding the matter.''
The position OF Mr.. Bland is accepted
by the anti-5i!Yer men as an Indication
that tho
Free Coinage People
will stUDbornly contest every stage OF
repeal, and yield nothing that is nor
wrested by the force of superior strength
on successive roll oalIs-if, indeed. tha

A SELF CONFESSED FRAUD.

The National Economist, in it's
desperate effort to bolster up DR.. Ma
cune, makes some very bad breaks
occasionally. In its issue of April
Is it has an editorial comment upon
the statement of the Dakota RNraHst,
that ''it was under the management
of N. A. Dunning that the Economist
acquired its great reputation" From
that editorial we clip the following:
He CMr. Dunning) compiled the Almanac
for 1891, which was 80 faulty that it took q
year and half to dispose of the first edi-
tion, with the movement at it's height, and
q greater demand for literature than ever
before. Harry Tracy compiled the Alma
mao Of 1890, and five editions of that sold
out without trouble.
Now, Mr.. Dunning is we'll enough
known as compiler of statistics that
we need say nothing in his defense.
We desire to assume for our present
purpose that the statement of the
Economist is correct-that the Alma
nae of 1891 was faulty-that it's con-
tents were unreliable. Ii this be true,
what must any honest man think of
DIR. MRcune? Knowing the book to
be unreliable, knowing that it would
be the means of disseminating false
statements, and false statistics, he
still pushed the sale of the whole edi-
tion, and unloaded it upon the peo-
pie. What must the readers of the
Economist think of a man who un-
blushingly makes such a confession?
What an inducement DIR. Macune
offers to honest inquirers after truth
to continue to pstronize the Bcono-
mist and continue to purchase EconO-
mist litereture!

MORE FRATERNALISM.

The Legislature of Minnesota has
appropriated 100000 for the erec-
ton of a state grain elevator. This Is
Legislation in the right direction. The
solution of the social problem lies in
the public ownership and control of
public utilities, and the sooner more
of our legislatures come to an lntelli-
gent understanding of this fact and
follow the example of Minnesota, the
sooner the problem will be solved. If
three or four of the western grain
growing states possessed state ele-
vstors the snti-opinion question
would be settled and settled right for
all time.

haitian Republic of April 27 repro
duces few choice paragraphs from
the speech which it suggests be
pasted, as an introduction, in his re-
Gently issued pamphlet containing
letters to Gov. Lewelllng. These
paragraphs are as follows, and are in
troduced by this pathetic stanza:

O'purpose that we might principles swaller;
And ef a man can, when peryisions hev riz so,

THE PEOPLE NOT CAPABLE OF SELF
GOVERNMENT.

Senator Hosr, in his speech against
the proposition to elect United States
senators by direct vote of the people,
said:
I am not afraid to say TO the American
people that it is dangerous TO trust any
great power of government to their direct
and inoopsiderste control.
The very best indication that there
is any truth in this statement is found
in the fact that the people are even
indirectly responsible for the pres
ence of such men as Mr.. Hoar in the
United States senate. Until they
learn better than to suffer such ca
lamities to fall upon the country in
consequence of their action or neglect
of action, it must be confessed there
is some justification for Mr.. Hoar's
statement. The people are learning
very rapidly, however, at the present
time, and the probability is they will
know better very soon.

by Warden Chase of daughter to
some subordinate position in the PEN

relative of Mrs. Lewelling on the To-

We owe it to ourselves to no longer sleep
while other interests around US laugh at our
stupidity and lack of business forethOught.
It requires four bushels of grain to send
one bushel to market over these very roads
so generously provided for in the interest Of
the whole people.
The grand old republican party, with it's
history, it's victories, it's glorious martyrs,
has become a refuge for thieves, railroad
and salary grabbers, whisky and Indian
rings, and must fall to pieces from its own
rottenness.
We have no use for either party. Both are
in the hands Of the moneyed power Of the
country. Both are controlled and operated,
not for justice, not for the protection of the
masses, but to secure gains Of Office and
perpetuate official power.
at no late day, it will combine all the indus
trial olssses of this country, and the voices
of such force must be heard. The hand
writing is upon the wall. Old party names
and ties are passing away.
The little cloud now rising, no larger than
mans hand, receiving scarcely the smile
of contempt from those great powers, will
yet overcast the whole sky, and tornado
will sweep over this fair land that will rock
the very foundations of our government.
Il is not reform of day, not enacted by
the depression Of glutted market, but the
complication of generations upon genera
tlons. Shall we falter and grow lukewarm
il our antioipitstions are not realized in a

after the first excitement has died away?
The poor man, struggling to secure money
to pay the interest upon the mortgage on
his homestead, pays taxes upon his land
which possibly he will never own. The
mortgage, who holds the farmer for half
the value of his place, pays no tax upon his
money. The one may be millionaire il his
Investments are in bonds and mortgages.

men seem to realize how serious this strug-
gle must become within the next ten years.

The Topeka Democrat wants TO know
what has come over the republican party,
and calls attention TO the fact that two years
ago, and even one year ago, the majority Of
western republicans we're in favor of free
coinage Of silver. Probably the majority Of
western republicans are still in favor of free
coinage, but not Of the 64-cent dollar. They
want q silver dollar equal to gold dollar.
Give Us this, and we are still ready for free
coinage. e.-Leevenworth Times, Maya.
