BONDS AND SLAVERY.
Sovereign Says They Are Synonymous
Terms and Talks of Eternal Infamy.

Terms and Talks of Eternal Infamy,
Philadelphia, December 29.-A tele-
gram has been received at the headquar-
ters of the Knights of Labor stating that
General Master Workman Sovereign had
been taken quite i'll atlHazelton, Pa, and
was sent to his home at Des Moines, La.
Prior'to his departure for Hazelton, he
prepared an address to the rank and file
of the order denouncing Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle's request to Con-
gress to grant him authority to issue two
hundred millions in interest bearing
bonds. The General Master Workman
says the issuing of bonds is an outrage
upon liberty loving people and that
bonds and slavery are synonymous
terms. Instead of an issue Of bonds.
Mr.. Sovereign advocates the issue of full
legal tender, non-interest bearing mon
ey. He then calls upon the workingmen
of the country to petition Congress not
to grant the Secretary of the Treasury
authority to make the proposed issue of
bonds. Every man, he continues, con-
nected with the disreputable transaction
should have his name branded with eter-
nal lnfamy. AT the first attempt of
Congress to grant the authority asked
by the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Knights from Maine to California, ''he
says. ''should hold Indignation meetings
and send unequivocai protests to their
respective members in Congress. Let
us be dupes and fools no longer Let US
meet the $2oO,000,0O0 bond proposition
with the power and fellowship of our
entire organization and stay in the fight
until we force relaxation in the power
of money to rob the industrial masses. !"

Even If Wilson Can Fix the Tariff for
Him Canada May Object.

Montreal, December 29.-Mr. Kaul
bach, member of the Dominion Parlia-
ment for Lunenburg, N. S., is now in
this city. He says there is going to be
trouble over the provincial government
granting the Whitney syndicate control
OF most of the Nova Scotia coal mines.
and it will be made an issue at the local
elections next spring. Mr.. Kaulbach
says the reduction of the American du-
ties on coal will not benefit Canada if

both theNova Scotia and Pennsylvania
mines.

How the World will Come to an
End.

According to all probability, notwitIl-
standing all the circumstances which
threaten it, our planet will die, not of
an accident, but of a natural death.
That death will be the consequence of
the extinction Of the sun, 10 twenty
million years or mere-perhaps thirty
since its condensation at a relatively
moderate rate will give it, on one hand,
seventeen million years of existance,
while, on the other hand, the newt
able fall of meteors into the sun NAV
double this number.
The day will come when the sun will
be extinct. Then the earth and all the
other planets of our system will cease
to be the abode of life. They will be
erased from the Great Book aud will
re~volve, black cemeteries, around an
extinguished sun.
Will these planets continue to exist
even then9 Yes, probably, in the case
of Jupiter, and perhaps Saturn. No,
beyond a doubt, for the small bodies,
such as the earth, Venus, Mars, Mer-
curry, and the moon. Already the
moon appears to have preceded us to.
wards the final desert. Mars is much
further advanced than the earth TO-
wards the same destiny. Venus,
younger than we, will doubtless survive
us. These little worlds lose their ele-
ments of vitality much faster than the
sun loses its heat. From century to
century, from year to year, from day to
day, from hour to hour, the surface is
transformed. On the other hand, the
contents are crumbling away and be-
coming covered by the sea, which in
sensibly and by very slow degrees
tends to invade and sRbmerge the en-
tire globe; on the other hand, the
amount of water on the surface of the
globe is diminishing. A careful and
reasonable calculation shows that by
the action of erasure alone all the land
on u planet will be covered by water
in ten millions of years.-M. Camille
Flammarion, in L'Astronomie.
