stroyed, and every town and hamlet
full of starving men. women and chill
dren for the reason that for thirty
years there has been nothing but legis-
lation OF some kind and character such
as Senator Voorhees, is now crowding
through congress.
The Populists' executive committee
of Virginia have decided that there
will be no luke warm business about
the campaign in the "old dominion
this fall; but it shall be labeled red
hot" and loaded for bear. The two
old parties will be shown in their true

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal Pop
ulisD says the state and private banks
Of Kansas are sound and reliable Out
Of 430 banks under his supervision
only 80 have closed their doors and 5
of these have since resumed business.
The total amount of these failures was
$11, 100000, and the greater part OF
this will be paid dollar for dollar Re
member this is in the state where every
thing would be reduced to ruin should
the Populists come into power.
The South Carolina Alliance are ia
vOring county associations for the pur-
pose of tiding over the present crisis,
and holding their cotton for fair price.
Their plan is to place their cotton in
warehouses and issue certificates upon
it to protect their creditors.
The planters took a stand some time
since that they would not take the
clearing house certificates, and since
that time the banks have been hustling
for the cash with which to buy in tho
crop.

ssly for the GREAT WEST:
l lay entranced in dreamland shade,
And saw q mighty cavalcade
Ride down the vale OF want
Earth's telling tribes made up the throng.
And at it's head there rode along
spectre tall and gaunt
On starving mortals passing there
The moonlight cast sckly glare,
That showed each haggard face,
Each bony hand, and sunken eye:-
The wretched troop that rode thereby
Had no abiding place!
All hopelessly men sauntered past,
The first one ghostly as the last,
A ghostly throng indeedl-
Those men had toiled from sun to sum-
Their homes surrendered one by one
To all-cOnsuming greed! s
For many years those toilers strove
To keep their sinking heads above
The waves of poverty
But s'money kings" had robbed them all,
Had drove them lhomeless) to the wall,
By taking usury!!
The bony steeds men rode upon,
With tagging steps passed by, anon
They wheeled in open air;
Some to the left, some to the right;
In sOmbre shadows of the night
They formed hollow square!
A painful stiffness reigned around
This awe-inspiring camping ground
Where not an echo wOke!-
The tall, gaunt form came on the scene,-
With hand appraised in solemn mien
Thus to his fellows spoke:
eye ruined men! who hear my voice,
The time has come to take your choice
To stand by home and hearth!
Or bow your necks like trembling slaves,
While plutocrats tread DER the graves
OF all your hopes on earth!
lone after one our statute laws
Have been amended with clause
To benefit the rich!
While labor with it's heated brow
Has been obliged to leave the pillow,
Has reached the final ditch!
"The sincometax' is with the past
Rich brokers have the gold amassed,-
Silver been crucifed!
Merchants are failing day by day,
While toi}ers stand in great dismay
With all resources tied
"The shylock- banks have taken tip,
While mortgage mongers hold grip
Upon nine million homes!-
The Office seekers with smile
THAT would the evil-one beguile)
Oft play that they are gnomes!
1.-The mOLey-pOwer, with iron hand
Controls the masses Of the land
Dictates the statute laws!-s
For many years, the goldbug curse
Has drawn on labor's wasted PURSE
IT'S time it made a.pause!
"Oppression's hand, for thirty years
Has caused food of binding tears
That must NO longer lfow!-
We have the ballot (tried and true)
That may our enemies subdue!-
Then strike the final bowl"

HARDENED COPPER

4 company has been formed in Chi
 cago under the name of the Excelsior
 Hardened Copper Company to manu- facturo a largs line df products of hardened copper The process to be used is the discovery of Peter Jehn- son, maohiaist, a native Of Sweden, but of late years residont of Dassel
 AIinu, Johnson can, ho says, harden copper without destroying ito duotility,
 If this can really be accomplished, a great field is open for those who use his process in the manufacture of spec ialties for electricians. One of She im- portant exhibits made by the meH who are introducing Johnson and hardened copper to the world is smell plate , inch thick With 1t Is shown steel plato of the same thickness. Both were shot with the same rifle at 120 paces. The bullet in each cuse was propelled by 60 grains of powder The steel plate was pierced and shattered; the coppsr plate stopped the bullet al- most at the surface and turned it back fattensd. From this and other similar experiments it is inferred that hard eAod copper, for resistance and nal leability, will displace steel in the manufacture of armor plate. An of- fort win be made to have the metal tested in comprehensive way at the navy yards of this country Like sx- periments will be arranged for alroad.

beginning all their life over again,
for in two hours the accumuIations of a

saddeSt scenes were those witnessed
about the eastern end of the Plymouth
avenue bridge. Here two entire blocks
had been swept away. In one there
were thirty-seven dwellings and in the
other seventeen. They were generally
owned by their. occupants and repre-
scented the savings of years. On the
block bounded by Eighth avenue on the
south, and Marshall street on the
east, there were fifteen dwell
ings, and only one was left
standing. This was two-stOry frame
dwelling on the corner of the two streets
named. and was not even scorched. On
the block Immediately south, on which
there were thirty-seven houses, one
stood on the corresponding corner with
that OIL the block below. but it had been
pri ctically Quilted. The block still
further south was swept except at the
upper corner, where several dwellings
stood unframed.

wAsHBURN IS sANGUrNE.
The Senator Says the Repeal Bill
Will Pass the Senate.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-'If the house
passes the bill repeating the Sherman
act by good majority l think there is
no doubt about the senate passing it at
once" said Senator Washburn this
evening. "There has been a great deal
of talk regarding the situation in the
senate for which there is no founda-
ton. There is majority favorable to
repeal If we can get vote, and L be-
ileve that the passage by large ma
Jorlty IN the house will insure an early
yote.''
This expression from Senator Wash
otrn may be taken as rejecting very
nearly the correct situation, as he has
been from the start one of the hardest
workers in behalf of repeal, and has
worked and argued with many of the
members who In the past three years
have voted for free coinage.
The fact that Senator Voorhees, will
tomorrow introduce bill allowing
national banks to issue notes to
the par value of bonds deposited,
with a certainty of speedy action
upon the measure by the senate,
Shows that the leading committee of the
senate is anxious to furnish relief to the
people. During the past three years
free coinage bills nave been passed by
the senate, July IA, 1890. Jan. 81, 1891,
and July z, 1892. For the first two SEN
ators Voorhees, and Gorman voted. but
on the last one they did not. while Sec
rotary Carlisle, then a senator, voted
against the last one, for the first, and
was absent in 1891. The votes of these
three leaders show change in senti-
ment In this matter, and furnish the
best Indication as to what will be done
on repeal when the Wilson bill reaches
the senate. Arguing on the basis of
these facts, Senator Washburn feels
confident of the result in the upper
hOuse
