The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-13

another link in the cham that shall
Rlrt the world and bind the struggling
millions Of sll nations in a slavery the
most sbjeCt and hopeless; the most uni
verssl the world has ever known-the
serfdom OF poverty. 1t its wake follow
ignorance, disease, crime, famine and un-
uttersble woe which dwRrfs the mind
and impoverishes the soul.
Grover Cleveland, Ben Harrison and
their train on down through the ranks to
the chronic officeseeker and goodsbox
politician who spits tobacco juice, and,
pRrrot-hke, squesks out the GLORIOUS"
sentiments Of their leaders, all tell us Of
the blessings and Joys Of poverty, but
the fortunes that Grover Cleveland has
mysteriously accumulated since he was
crowned King Grover l Of Amerios, and
the eternal squsbbls of the little "me
toos" for good, fat, lazy positions, seem
to indicate that they do not believe what
they teach, nor, for that matter, does
anyone else. Great wealth opens to it's
possessor the possibilities Of great good
or evil, but poverty feeds upon mans
soul and makes him q slave to besstly
hunger. God never intended either con-
dition to be the general or ideal exist
ence Of man. He placed man in the
world and before him set beauty, knowl-
edge, refinement and culture, comfort
and happiness and bade him enjoy them
all, and multiply them for the glory of
God and the uplifting Of the whole race.
God planted in every human heart the
desire for knowledge, beauty and truth
and the things which tend to make life
brighter and better and he gave to man
no universal longing without the means
of gratifying it; but poverty locks and
bars the door on all that makes life
worth living.
Civilization has taught US that money
is the most convenient medium through
which to obtain these things and it's
scarcity in all history has given those
who had it power to accumulate more
and more, and made slaves Of those who
had it not. 1t has been the magicisn's
wand which has brought good to the
few, leaving those whom it touched not
mere desolste and dependent in COM
psrison. It is high time that daughters,
wives and mothers were awakening to a
full understanding Of this question
which has been the problem Of the ages
and which in 5000 years man alone has
been unable to solve and one which he
never will solve in 600 cycles unless he
turns to nature and in equal justice to
all renders to every man all and no more
than he earns. The helpless should be
cared for, but the sluggard should not
be allowed to prey upon civilization
whether ne be clothed in pauper's rags
or royal robes Of sur passing beauty and
msgnifcence.
There is money famine throughout
the world to day; year by year the mills
have ground on with increased velocity
and the next revolution Of the great
drive wheel will find our condition still
more hopeless unless some radical change
is wrought by the people themselves.
England, Spain, Russia, Germany and
our own land are writhing under the
lash Of poverty and want, and their
masses in restless, uncertain submission

contention was that the company had good

the company had called upon his client to
learn tho extent OF her Injuries, and told her
that the company had really no defence. and
that the only question was as to the amount Of
the damages she should receive. Mr.. Patter-

ton OF 100000 has boon authorized. He said

the centre OF the present improved portion OF
the ground. so as to render it practically use
less for brigade movements. He had hoped to
have two brigade drills thcre this year. but
had been unable to because OF the ravine.
Engineer Kellogg reported that 100000
cubic yards OF earth would DO required to fll
in and Grade the thirteen acres. and that the
material would have to be hauled nearly three
quarters OF a mile. This. he 81 i'd. would GER

nothing would be left TO build stables. the
erection Of which was contemplated.
