Mr.. EDITOR:
Enclosed find $1.OO for one years
subscription to your paper and a

The Modern Atlas.

The worlds burden bearer is no
longer myth; he has become real
ity. All the intolerable weight of
capitalistic civilization-its wasteful-
ness and dissipation-all rests upon
the shoulders of Labor. But the
worst feature in the hideous visage
of our predatory industrial system is
that the heaviest part of the worlds
weight of toll falls upon it's weakest
children, while the strong not only
escape it altogether, but in wanton
cruelty add to the burden they will
not aid to lift.
The gold conspiracies, the monopo-
ly of land values, the industrial pools
that absorb to themselves all the
wealth of material progress gained
for the world by scientific and in
ventive genius, and which is by every
law of justice the heritage of the
whole people > these crimes could
never have occurred without the con-
sent Of the governed-whether thro'
ignorance or otherwise.
Over and over again have the work.
ing capacities of the various kinds of
productive effort been doubled. It is
not alone in the fact that improved
machinery has rendered the wealth.
producing power of the people prac-
tically Unlimited; but this immense
increase is, by the creation of facili-
ties Of transportation and commune
cation hitherto unknown, rendered
proportionally more effective.

SILVER DOWNED.

Emphatic Majority.
Noes.
WHAT OF THE SENATE?

Long ago the reform press pointed
out the near approach of the time
when the old parties should disinte-
CRATE, and the people would be divid-
ed on new issues: property rights VS..
human rights; and if the program of
the gold conspirators is carried out
by the senate as it has been by the
house, the division will come now:-f
the Dollar, championed by the money
power on one side; Human Rights,
defended by the people, on the othef.
The advocates of bimetallism made
a gallant fight but were overwhelmed.
Boon stood on the Lords side when
the vote was taken on the amend
ment for free silver coinage at the
ratio of 16 to 1; the rest of the Min
nesota delegation voted for Wall
street. Baldwin of Duluth voted in
favor of the compromise ratio of II
to l, but this amendment suffered
defeat also. II the senate endorses
the action of the house it remains
to be seen how long the people will
stand and be plucked, like geese, that
Plutocracy may feather it's nest. We
do not believe that the democratic
voters of the west and south will
submit to Cleve1and's unconditional
surrender to the money power. They
will swarm out of the party like rats
out of a house when it's foundation
begins to crumble. And there will
be like exodus of free silver men
from the ranks of the republican
party; for we believe the voters are
Aneracans first, partisans afterwards.
Then will begin the final struggle for
the emancipation of the industrial
classes from bondage to gold.

HOT PARTISAN FIGHT.
Nebraska Legislators Squabble
Over Rules.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 1S.-When the
legislature met in joint convention to
ballot for United States senator today a
fight arose over the rules governing
joint sessions. and hot partisan fight
was precipitated. After nearly two
hours struggle the members broke the
deadlock on rules. A ballot was then
taken. which, as on Yesterday, was
scattering. Paddock (Rep) received SO
votes, and Powers Pop.) %. The high
est received by any other one candidate
was 8 votes.
The senatorial situation is beginning
to assume definite shape. The legls-
latorS are beginning to realize what
protracted ballot means and are casting
about for way out of the present diff
Guilty. The Republicans will be the last
TO caucus, as none of them will vote for
aDemocIa or a PopuliSt. The Democrats
have not yet decided what to do. There
is not much doubt but that Powers will
be the nominee. The Paddock men
have been trying to force caucus, but
the Thurston and Majors men are re
fusing tn listen 10 the proposition.
When the Republicans quit scattering
Paddock'S S votes will increase, but until
he gets a majority he cannot get eau
Gus. The battle royal will not fairly
begin until next week.

DEFENDS HILL.
Strong Words OF COmmendation
From His New Colleague.

From His New Colleague.
New YORK, Jan. 1S.-Edward Muir
ply Jr. was seen at his home on
Fifth avenue, Troy, today, says the
Suns Albany correspondent.
Senator, would you mind telling the
people what foundation there is for the
story that you and Senator Hill propose
to antagOniZe the incoming admlniStra-
tiOn," was asked.
The smile went from Mr.. Murphy's
face as he said dec,sively: Those who
say that Of me DO not believe it. They
know 10 the contrary. My record shows
what | will do. Who says Senator Hill
and intend to antagoniZe in any way
Democratic administrations? Has he said
fallen from Senator HIPS lips or mine
to that effect? Have the senator's
friends said il? From one end of the
state to the other has there been man
enjoying Senator Hill'S confidence who
has made such prediction?"
But his enemies say" began the
reporter;
Yes" continued Mr.. Murphy, "his
enemies say so. The men who have
sought to cripple HIM in every struggle
for Democratic supremacy in this state,
which has resulted for the first time in
years in giving the party both senators
in congress, pretend to tell the people
what his paus are; hut, remember, Sen
ator Hill never speaks through the
mouths Of his enemies. Senator Hill
never opposed anything Democratic IN
his life. lie would not know how to do
it. His training has not been in that
line, So far he has devoted the best
years of his life to opposing Republican
administrations. Opposed to the admin
istratiOn! Why. ne helped elect it. lie
did more than any other one man in the
country toward it, because he was in a
position to do more. Have you
forgotten the situation OF the
canvass when he made the speech
of all the great speeches OF the
campaign at Brooklyn! Can it have es-
capped your recollection how the Demo
cratic prospects improved from that
moment? How it persuaded men to go
to work as they never had before In
their lives, and to keep it up until We
tory was ours? Senator Hill understood
and intended the effect of that speech,
as he did Of the other mastery speeches
which he delivered in this state Wfer-
ever the state committee advised HIM 1t
was necessary. And 1t is the height
of aOSurdity to assert that he even
dreamed OF antagonlzing an admins
tration which he helped to elect. In the
fullness of time the Democracy OF the
nation will have a chance to determine
the value of the mutterings of those

TO TRY THE COURTS.
Kansas POpuIists to Sumbit the
Legality OF Their House.

Le2dlIIY Oh DCLE IloUSC.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 1S.-The Popu-
lists have finally decided TO submit the
question OF the legality of the Populst
house organization to the supreme
court. They now begin to see
that the question will land there any
way. and they are in hurry to have it
done with. 70 this end the senate to-
day passed and sent to the house the
Legislative appropriation bill. The
house will pass it and the governor VIII
sign 1t. Then the Republicans will en-
ioin the treasurer from making any
payments under it on the ground that
the bill was not passed by the legally
constituted house. Thus the matter
will finally get into court.
There are reports that IN order to
strengthen their forces in the fight for
United States senator, the PopulistS
will resort to the unSeating process in
the senate. They have five contests.
The Republicans, however, have seven
contests in the house, and would. OF
course. retaliate should any Republican
senators be unseaUed. The rival houses
met together as usual this morning
but their proceedings were not marked
with excitement, and Oh the Republican
side there was no anger whatever. A
large number of bills and resolutions
were introduced on both sides. Seventy
eight Republican members and senators
met in the mousse tonight and took an in-
formal ballot on United States senator.
Perkins received 80, Ady 80, and Lucien
Baker IL.
Gov. Lewelling this evening handed
to the Associated Press long state
meDt giving his reason for recognizing
the Populist house. In nutshell his
statement of the reason is that he be-
lieved the POpulist house to be the
legally organized and the Republican
house to be illegally organized. The
| statement quotes precedent for his ac-
| ton. In conclusion the statement says:
The Republican contingent has pro-
! ceeded in defiance of law and the legally
| constituted authorities of the state. Ii
| it were for moment granted that their
! claims we're valid. still the only author
| ity competent under the law to pass
upon them has decided against them.
| AS law-abidng citizens, therefore, it is
| their duty to submit to the decision, ,and
! If they believe an injustice has been
done them to appeal to a higher court
| the people of the state. Any other
| course places them IN open rebellion
| against the legally constituted authOri-
ties of the state and renders them liable
TO the penalties i'll such cases provided.
1t is my desire that there may be nc
further complications growing out OF
this unfortunate affair. At the same
time it Is my duty TO see that the
authority of the state is respected by
all citizens. and it must not longer be
disregarded by those who are now
waged i'll the Illegal proceedings in the
! house."

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 1S.-The legls-

baloted three times for senator without
choice, and without material change
from yesterday. The 23 Democrats
voted for Roach and the II Populists
for Muir. The Republicans voted as
follows on the first ballot: Casey. IL;
Worst. 10; Anderson,9; Smith, s.; King
man. s; Satterlund. 8; Oliver. l. On
the third ballot Casey gained l.
Worst lost one, Anderson gained one
and Kingman lost one. There seemed
to be no immediate prospect of a caucus,
and tomorrow's ballot is not likely to
show many changes. Casey undoubt-
edly has a majority of the Republicans.
many of them now under cover, but his
friends are not insisting on caucus for
the reason that they fear some Repub-
lican adherantS of other candidates will
refuSe TO abide by the caucus until fur
ther opportunity is given for balloting
and combining. Congressman johnson
left for Washington tonight. 1t was
reported when he left Washington he
left with the intention of fighting Casey,
but on arrival here lie had conference
with leading Republicans of all fac
tions, and on the advice of all he kept
out of the fight. being satisfied that
Casey or any other candidate elected
would work in harmony with him.

company was expected to pay heavily
and answered to the expectations.
Every priest who got one of his flock to

A run of priests on the Panama officers
was so great that arrangements were
being made for special Office and sec
retary to receive them when the col
lapse came. M. de Lesseps sent ont in
the most sensational way brigades of

night made through religious paper to

other speakers were: For Yale, Frank

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Jan. 1S.-The two
houses met in joint session shortly after
noon, and indulged in nominating
speeches until 2:l5. Then it was dis
covered that MCGOWAN (Rep). assem-
blyman, from san Francisco, was miss
ing. The Republicans tried to delay
proceedings until McGoWan could be
found and brought in. but were unsuc-
cessful. and the vote proceeded without
his absence being explained. The Dem
UcratS, who had total of 50 votes, voted
solid for White, as did Burke (NOn-
Partisan), and kearnS. This gave White
the necessary 81 votes, but Brett Pop.),
from Alameda, interrupted the count
and created Areat excitement by
charging that Kearns' vote for
White had been bought. and
that Marion Cauon, Populist and
Democratic congressman from the Sixth
district, had bought it. Cannon, who
was present, hOtly denied the charge
and called BIetz liar. The greatest
confusion ensued, but after time the
result Of the vote was officially an
nounced. Brett was called before the
bar of the house and his charges taken
down in writing by the chairman. White
was then declared elected United States
senator and was escorted to the plat
form and made speech. He referred
TO the charges made by BretZ and said
80 far as 1t referred to himself it was an
unmitigated falsehood. He indorsed
KearnS and Canon as men of probity.
