were '6orgottenq Not quite. They are remembered by some. At sunset the Indian women and the children retreat to their huts and stay there till sunrise next morning. They-dare not so much as look outside the door, because the place Is crowded with white, shivering, sheeted ghosts. Speak to one of these women; she will point out to you, trem- bling, one, two, half a dozen ghosts. It is true that the dull eye of the English man can see nothing. She sees them distinguishes them-one from the other -she can see them every night-yet she can never overcome her terror. The governor or captain or commander in chief for his part sees nothing. He sleeps in his house quite alone, with his cat and his dog, windows and doors wide open and has no fears of any ghost. If he felt any fear he would be surrounded and pestered to death every night with multitudes of ghosts. But he fears nothing. He is doctor, you see, and the doctor never yet was afraid of ghosts.
 How did they come here, this regi- ment of dead men? In several ways; cholera accounts for most; yellow fever for some; other levers for some, but for most cholera was the destroyer. Be cause, you see, this is Quarantine island. If 8 ship has cholera or any other infec- tious disease on board it cannot touch at the island. close by which is great place for trade and has every year 8 quantity of ships calling. The infected ship has to betake herself to Quarantine island, where her people are landed and where they stay until she has a clean bill, and that sometimes is not until the greater part of her people have ex- changed their berths on board for per manent lodgings ashore. Now you un- derstand. The place is a great cemete- ry; it lies under the hot sun of the trop- ics; the sky is always blue; the sun is always hot; it is girdled by the sea; it is always silent, for the Indian chill dren do not laugh or shout and the In- dian women are too much awed by the presence of the dead to wrangle always silent, save for the crying of the sea birds on the rock. There are no letters, no newspapers, no friends, no duties-none. save when a ship puts in, and then for the doctor-farewel rest, farewell sleep, until the bill of health is clean. Once fortnight or so, if the weather permits, and if the communi- cations are open-that is, If there is no ship there-a boat arrives from the big island with rations and letters and supplies. Sometimes a visitor comes, but not often, because, should an infected ship put in. he would have to stay as long as the ship A quiet, peaceful, monotonous life for one who Is weary of the world or for a hermit, and as good as the top of pillar for silence and for meditation.

Must Not be Too Conservative.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-In this reform
movement we must bear in mind If we
occupy conservative position the plu-
tocrsts will WIN, as in Germany and
other foreign countries. In so-cslled
government ownership OF railroads, tele-
graphs, etc., the people are still in pow
erty. 1t has been said every wageWorker
has a soldier to support, which continues
under government ownership the same
as under incorporated monopoly. Why?
Because interest is continued. The goY-
eminent, instead of coming and paying
out money, borrows and issues interest
bearing bonds, thus becoming the agent
Of the plutocrat, paying over lsbor's pro-
ducts. The nstionalists Of the United
States quote from them, thus only going
half way in government and municipal
reform. Under our present financial
system, debts would continue.
One thing is certain, the present sys-
tenn is wrong or we have no cause to
pose as reformers. II we are right, why
should we weaken our cause through
mskeshift measure? In Kansas they
were the most radical and realized the
largest gain. In Massachusetts, they
were very conservative, s9dIt6ar IN II was

The Memphis to Put on a Fast Train
From the South tn Gotham.
The Memphis road has completed all
arrangements for fast vestibule train SER
vice between Memphis and New York by
way Of Atlanta and Washington. The casts
bound train leaves Memphis at $50 each
night, reaching Atlanta at II the next morn
ing and arriving in New York at noon of the
following day. The run from Memphis to
Atlanta will be made in fourteen hours,
which is pretty lively gait, and the record
from Memphis to New York will be broken
By about three hours. The trains TO be used
in this service are as fine as anything in
the country, and are fully equipped with
the necessary oonveniences of a modern
railway train. To the business men NJ the
southwest, and TO patriots enroute to Wash
inRton about the 4kh OF March, Presi-
dent Nettleton's improved service on the
Kansas City. Memphis & Birmingham line
will prove Of much benefit.

party ticket, largely the democratic for
governor, because the working people
could not see much difference in demo-
cratic reform and national reform. They
said: "How much are we benefited
through municipal ownership, providing
bonds are issued and we pay the bills?
The usurer would still clip his coupons;
the debt against the people still remain"
A mere mskeshift which under our pres
sent competitive system is a bid for
official dishonor and fraud, through
which monopolies would still flourish.
When commenced to study the in
dustrial question I found it had never
been solved. Why? Because all past
reformers failed when they allowed the
rights of interest. Henry Georges writ
ingc portray almost perfect equality
which he annuls through interest rights.
Herbert Spencer repudistes past writings
through interest concessions. Interest
and equity are not homogeneous; they
can not thrive together. The farmer
who loses his farm says, 81 could not
pay the interest; it swept away the saw
ings Of a lifetime" The merchant says,
"The high interest failed me-" The
manufacturer says, "The amount Of in
terest was SO great it ruined me-" 1t
ruins all it gets in it's clutches, and is
the father Of competition. It favors
those who control it in trade.
The only relief is in honest national
money st cost, which is true capital and
would stay in the country. There is no
call for US to ask Europe's advice as to
our financial policy. There would have
been just as much sense in asking Eng
land in 1776 il we had better declare the
colonies free. It is not the money stamp
that cancels the balance in trade; it is
the products OF labor. What did we
gain through seven years of war for in
dependence, when to-day. through de-
based currency, European capitalists
take $770,OOO,O0O as interest Of the pro-
ducts Of the United States? I tell you,
brother workers, this is the biggest prob
lem mankind has ever grsppled with,
and the financial question is the key that
unlocks justice. Agitate the question,
and the usurers cry "cranks," FOOLS"
"idiots," which they never do if their
system is not in danger. 1t is natural
we receive representation in exchange
at cost, and any more in that direction
will increase our prosperity; and our
only hope Of defeating the money power
is to be honest and square with the
people. No makeshitt in ours.

hard on the man but the making Of the
pup-let US insist on the European breed
getting his full training and existence
among the conditions that bred him.
Justice is due an American citizen; it is
never charity. Strip labor Of its bsrns-
cles, provide labor just surroundings-its
due by right-snd charity will become
an extinct bird, it's memory inspiring to
poetry, but Of no more practical use TO
the industrious American than is the
memory OF the "divine right Of kings"
Charity to us is what a boil ia to the
body-an indicator Of corruption. We
have as much reason to be proud OF q
boil as Of charity, and more; for the boil
puriies the blood in a measure, while
charity, blasting manhood, breeds
iunkyiam. ....- .--

THERE is an increasing sentiment Of
co information among the citizens of the
actions of the members of the council
who are obstructing the channels Of city
business by remaining away from coun-
Gil meetings, and, when they do meet, by
a%djourning and preventing thus the
transaction of business which needs at.
tention. It is time personalities and
f~actionalisms we're overlooked in the de.
sire to transact that business for which
the members Of the council were elected.
Mayor Allen, as mayor Of the city, is en-
titled to the same rights which have
been always exercised by his pre-
decessors in Office, and his rights should
be recognized by the aldermen who are
opposed to him. There should be no
more adjourning and allowing impor-
tant business to 70 by the board.
It is difficult to see what can be
gained by remaining away from meetings
and by refusing to transact business
when at meetings. There must come q

The first issue of the North Dakota
Independent, under the new manage
ment is out, and is characterized by a
commendable absence of the ~ire-eating
style which marked the old. The Bis
marck end of the concern sees some.
thing in the improvements going on in
this city to remark and it says:
Bismarck has taken on a more hopeful
look this summer than for several Years
past. The crop. conditions are excellent. The
building of the south wing of the capitol
assures the permanent settlement of the
capitol location question. The 500, though
it may not come in this fall, is sure to come
in next summer. AS q consequence Of the
more hopeful conditions the city is taking
on an air OF Improvement. On the princi-
pal business streets there was an epidemic
If painting. Old stores are being refitted;
old signs are being frightened up in new
coats; residences and grounds are being
improved, and, in fact, even new residences
are being built. That the city Is we'll
filled is evidenced in the fact that desir.
able residences are almost impossible of
finding. Business is good. and all in all
Bismarck is feeling in a better mood than
it has for a long time. As the capital city
OF our state all our citizens feel interested
in her progress.
