GOING TO PIECES.

Signs of the Times.

A Metropolitan Daily Reads Alright the
Signs of the Times.
The Chicago Daily News, which is
counted as one of the big dailies," in
its leading editorial February 20, not
only frankly admits, but emphatically
asserts that the two old parties are go-
ing to pieces
1t virtually admits that the populists
have the dems and reps on the hip-and
that it is going to ''down them"
This is good deal for an old party
paper to say-especially one that sup
ported Cleveland and claims that the
democrats polled tremendous major
ity." The editorial in full is as fol-
lows:
Before many years shall have gone
by the old party lines will have disap-
peared- All the signs of the times point
to that conclusion. The Farmers Alli-
ance made the first great breach in the
ranks of the republican and democratic
parties. In some of the western states
these old rivals have been compelled to
unite against the new organization.
Down in Kansas, for example, a majority
of the more intelligent democrats ara
actively espousing the cause of the re-
publicans in their fight with the pop
ulists. A leading democratic attorney
is helping them with legal advice
in the supreme court proceedings and it
is evident that if any kind of fusion
were to take place to-day it would be
between the republicans and democrats
and not between the democrats and
populistS A new issue having come
up. a Encouragement of party lines has
become necessary.
There are many other indications Of
the same thing elsewhere. The rapid
increase of the independent vote
throughout the whole country is one Of
them. Thinking citizens are discard
ing the party collar and voting as they
see fit, without regard to the dietation
of ambitious leaders. They are not i'm
fiuenced so much by past events as by
the living questions of the hour. The
mere name of republican or democrat
has no charm for them.
Even the leaders themselves are dis
playing remarkable independence of
party restraint President Harrison
nominates democrat for the supreme
bench and President Cleveland takes a
republican into his cabinet, by the way.
constructed entirely without reference
to the wishes or sentiment of his own
party. The old political organizations
being more or'less corrupt, their rapid
disintegration will not be very deeply
regretted" "

WHOSE MONEY is ITq

Those Who Do Not Work Must Live Upon
the Fruits of Others Toll.
One hundred thousand Americans
visit Europe every year at an average
cost of 81, 900 each--Gov. Ames, of Mas
sachusetts, in indianapolis Sentinel
In other words 100, 600 wealthy Amer
leans spend every year 500. 600. 600 of
somebody's earnings at the hotels and
watering places of Europe Who
earned this money? 1t had to be earned
before it could be spent Was it the
gaudy butterflies that spend it? Evi-
IDENTIFY not; one who earns the money
they spend will not be so reckless with
it as to spend $1,000 in from six to
twelve weeks, the average length of
time spent by wealthy Americans on a
European trip. There can be but one
answer to the above question-it was
earned by laborers. The coal miner who
takes his life in his hand and goes into
the mines for sum hardly enough to
enable him to support his family in a
comfortless shanty he does not own,
many times thankful to get work at
all, earns some of the $10o, 600, ,OOO The
carpenters and masons and skilled la
the massive piles they do not own,
everywhere to be seen in every large
city, each and all earn some of it. The
grain and stock raisers of the entire
country are unwilling contributors to
this monstrous fund that is more than
wasted. l say unwilling contributors
because it is only by extortion that this
money is wrung from them. High
freight rates, usury and combines are the
instruments used to make the trans
fer of the earnings of labor to the poclz-
cts of the rich. High freight rates pay
dividends upon fictitious stock, issued
by a few manipulators to themselves,
stock that ought not to exist and that
never ought to draw dollar from the
earnings of labor. Usury upon money,
thing used simply for convenience in
making exchanges; high usury because
the same birds of prey spoken of in the
Sentinel choose to have money scarce,
so they can maintain a high rate O; in
terest- High interest and low prices
go hand in hand. The scarcer the money
the higher the rate of intereSt-and the
less money must be loaned to earn money
for the European trip Combines, yes,
at both ends of the line, combines to
put the prices of everything labor buys
up and combines to put everything that
labor sells down. 1t is this aping of
European snobs and this spending of
millions of dollars every year abroad,
wrung from unwilling tithe-p payers
many Of whom must deny their chill
dren school books in order to pay it,
that is bringing this country to the
verge of revolution. If this robbery is
continued without check for ten years
longer three-fourths of the people will
be paupers.-Cor. Nonconformist.

The haIndnstrial Lerinn.

Of the numerous organizations for the
betterment of the conditions of labor
there is none of a semi-secret nature
whose special aim is to right the wrongs
of labor at the ballot-box except the
National Industrial legion. The
Knights of Labor, the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, the Alliance, etc, all
have platforms which cannot be carried
out except by political action, and yet
there is not one of them but which
handles the question of political action
as though it was tarred stick. Here
there is an organization which
all who believe in political action
as well as political talk can
join and not interfere with their
trades unionism or their non-partisan
fealty to their other organizations,
which are assumed to be more for edu-
cation than for real, earnest participa-
tion in the political affairs of the state
and nation. The Industrial legion is a
political body, as we'll as educational,
and its declared object is to carry out
at the polls the principles of the peo-
Piles party. If the workingmen of the
different organizations really believe
the ballot they should take advantage
of the machinery of the Industrial le-
gion and help push their ideals to
realization Lincoln (Neh) Alliance

sleep is one of the least understood
of physiological phenomena. A new
theory of it has been offered by Herr
Rosenbaum. He supposes the essential
fact in the fatigue of the nervous sys.
tem leading to sleep to be hydrata-
tion of the nerve cells. an increase OF
their water content. The greater the
hydratation, the less the irritability.
This hydratation arises through chem
ical change of the nervous substance
during activity. A small part of the
water escapes by day through the
lungs, but the greater part is eliminated
during sleep Its massage into the blood
takes place by virtue of the laws of diffu.
sion. and depends on the quantity and
density of the blood, its amount of fixed
principles, speed of its flow, etc.
Elimination of the expired air takes
place according to the laws of diffusion
of gases The assimilable substances
of the body take the place of the water
eliminted in sleep. The repair of the
physical and mental forces through
sleep is due to this elimination and re.

ST. LOUIS, May 27.-The Missouri and
Mississippi valleys were visited by one
of the most terrific thunderstorms that
has ever swept over this section since
back in 80. The storm extended as far
west as Kansas City and as far north
as keokuk. The average rainfall re-

From reports received during the
afternoon from points up the river, it is
expected that the Mississippi river will
rise five feet within the next four DAYS.
This will make a serious state of affairs
along the levees below here, and serious
apprehension is felt for the safety of
