officially shown that the bituminOuS
coal business is going the same way,
the bituminous coal fields should be
similarly taken possession of.
Resolved, That since it has been
officially shown that the railroads
are similarly monOpoliZing iron and
timber lands, and, since it is thus
shown to be law of industry that
ownership of the highways is owner
ship of the railways, therefore the
people must become their own own
erS by making themselves the owners
of their own highways.
Resolved, That this congress, Op-
posing, as it does, the greatest OF all
trusts-the financial trust-demands
return to bimetalism in order
that the common people may enjoy
the blessing of free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
present ratio of 16 to /.
Resolved, That we recommend to
the several states now owning coal
lands and to the United States gov
ernment that all lands now sold con-
tanning coal, metals or forests, be
held for the use and benefit of all the
people, and that means be provided
BY which the coal shall be mined and
sold to the people at the actual cost
of production.
Resolved, That we urge upon the
congress of the United States and up
on the legislatures of the several
states that they shall enact laws to
condemn and seize the property OF all
trusts, conspiracies and cOmbina-
tions not only in transit between the
states, as provided in the Sherman
act, but within the states or Wher-
ever they may be found, and that, II
it eventually BECOMES necessary in a
death struggle between the people
and these criminal cOnspiracies, the
protection of the laws be withdrawn
for their property. And we also de-
mand that the character of any
domestic corporation in any state
that is proven to have become par
ty to any criminal conspiracy or trust
shall be forfeited; and that the COM
ity between the states be by law
denied to any foreign corporation
which becomes party to SUCH COM
bine or conspiracy.

More RaScality.

Villainy, robbery, everywhere.
In Chicago, at the Worlds Fair,
100000 visitors entered the Fair on
one day, Sunday, May 2sth, and the
returns of the door-keepers accounted
for but 1900. One hundred and six
thousand visitors at fifty cents each,
amounts to $4,000. Pretty fair for
high-strung American rascality for
one day!
And here we see that when the
specifications we're made up for the
building of the new wing of the in
sane asylum at Fergus Falls, some
crafty knave put into them require
ment that the tiling should be pur-
chased from the Pioneer Tile Com
pany of Chicago, and the heating reg
listers from a firm in Minneapolis.
This, of course, excludes all compe-
tition, for those worthy firms will
only sell to the bidder who is "in
cahoots" with them, and the rest are
shut out; and so the public will be
plundered.
The world will wake up some morn
to find that the earth has been stolen
from under them during the night,
and that they are hanging by the eye
lids in mid-air, like Mahumet's cof-
fin.
Wouldn't it be good time to start
an anti-robbery party?

hello by a slave, whose cheeks bore a.
number of parallel scars, where the
flesh had been cut, and allowed to
heai They all had the long slim
limbs and small hands and feet of
savages, and in these and other
particulars they were exactly like
the petrified negro, found in the
rocks near Chadron, Nebraska, and
which / am inclined to think dates
back to a vast antiquity; for the
black race probably constituted the
first inhabitants of all the conti-

they were living under the tents,
muchas the Jews did when Joseph was
sold by his bretheren. We saw an old
woman making bread. A stone hand
millground up the wheat-she work
ed it into thin dough, like filter,
and then spread it over round,
convex, black, iron arrangement,
close to the ground, with fire under
it. 1t was soon baked into something
like the paper-thin unleavened bread
of the Jews. These Arabs are white
people, bronzed by the desert and un-
clean lives, but they are bearded, and
the. women are fairer and some of
them quite good-looking. Their
great treat for strangers is coffee,
and the chief who has the largest
pile of coffee-grounds before his tent
is most honored, because it testifies
to his abundant hospitality.

A Word of Warning.

1t is literally true, incredible as it
may appear, that about 25,NO copies
of the Great West are being sent out
every week. This must involve an
expens Q of $50 or 5000 additional every
week. Who pays for it9 What deep
design is behind it? Is the REPRE-
already SO formidable,
and it's success SO great, that the
money must be poured forth in this
way to destroy it's influence? Keep
your eyes open, gentlemen, and we
will see what we will see.
Fish says he lost money when he
furnished his paper last fall for cent
or cent and a half week-that it
was pure ''give away" Now he is
offering to furnish the same paper
for half-a-cent a week? What rail
road corporation, national bank or
foreign plutocrat makes up the loss
to HIM? Who settles his bills when
he runs behind $500 in seven months
and half? And who gave him the
81 300 of accrued profits?

Heard from the Ramsey County
Grand Jury, =

NEW YORK, May 31.-The EaStefn
coal sales agents have advanced pric-
es of coal 25 cents ton on stove and
nut and 20 cents on egg, but broken
is unchanged for June delivery. The
Western agents advanced the prices
of all sizes of coal 25 cents ton.
Why not? The people are power
less;-the grand juries are bought
up; the courts are on their side; the
newspapers are muzzled, and the
voters split up into political factors,
about questions either settled or
of little importance; while plutocra-
cy is busy taking possession OF the
land and reducing the multitude to
pauperism. On with the dance, and

Animals in the Rain.

Horses and cattle never look so miser-
able as when standing exposed to cold
and driving rain. Every field in which
cattle are turned loose should have some
loose shelter provided, however rough
and hardy the stock. If left TO them
selves in a state of nature they would
travel miles to some well known bank
or thiclzet. which would at least give
cover against the wind. Shut up be
tween four hedges, they are denied alike

their own instinct.

graphing a planet, or even q whole sec

attempt to say, but the grandest Of
all such undertakings is that which
has been inaugurated and partially
carried out by the astronomers and

ter mind conceived the idea of mapping
the entire sky-of making n bypath

idea when fully matured was commu-

was an agreement that celestial atlas

An Indian Brave Who Never Forgot tho
Mercy shown His Rand.


An Indian Brave who Never Forgot tho
Mercy shown His Band.
About the middle Of this century there
was a terrible uprising among the Yuca-
tan Indians. For time they were able
to wreak vengeance on their white CON
querers, and their ferocity and cruelty
were horrible. Even so dark q page OF
history as this, however, is not without
its story of kindness and mercy between
enemies. The town of Peto was so sit
uated in the Indian territory that It was
taken by the Indians and recaptured by
the whites many times. Once, when Il
was IN the hands of its rightful owners,
a number Of Indian prisoners were held.
Less cruel than the savages. the whites
killed only in battle; they allowed their
prisoners to live. But provisions became
more and more scarce, and the Indians
were left to die of hunger. One day Don
Marcos Duarte, a wealthy inhabitant of
the town, was passing the house where
the Indians were and stopped, shocked
at the sight of a miserable, cmaciated
creature
What are you doingF" he asked.
81 am eating my shoes, as you see, -
was the reply. II am starving to death
For twelve days we have had almost no
food. Most Of my companions are dead
and the days of the rest arc numbered. "
Don Marcos looked at the miserable
survivors and said, "You and they shall
i've" and he sent them food every day
and finally procured their freedom.
Whatever were the rights Of the ques-
ton between Indians and whites in this
case, human pity spoke first in his heart
Some time later Peto was captured 10y
the Indians, and the inhabitants were
massacred. Don Marcos. with his wifi,
and children. awaited death on Their
knees in prayer They heard party OF
savages approaching the house, and fell
that tine end had come
The head of the band, however, sta
toned sentinels around the house anC
gave this order, mot hair Of the heat
ofthis manor his family is to be touched
on pain of death"
The family of Duarte was the only on
that was spared The Indian who ha'
inspired the pity of Don Marcos wa
paying his debt.
Twenty years afterward in a success
full uprising the Indians sacked a mum
Der Of villages and country houses. The.
retreated loaded with spoil and drag
ging with them many household serv
ants, of whom they intended to maxi
slaves. The chief of tho expedition aske'
one of them what was the name of hi
master.
"Don Marcos Duarte," he replied.
The chief Immediately called a halt
"How many men belong TO Don Mar
cos.' he asked.
"Twenty-four," replied the man t
whom he had spoken.
''Name them. said the chief.
Having collected the twenty-four mer
he returned to them the spoil which ha
