Almost simultaneously with the re-
peal of the Sherman law comes re-
commentator from the adjutant gen
eral that military tactics be taught in
all graded schools What does ali this
mean? Why this eagerness on the part
of government officials to famiIiarize
even the children with the methods of
war? Churches, too, contrary to the
teachings of Him whom they profess
to worship, are falling in line with
these instructions
Detroit has twenty-seven church
military organizations, containing 951
men and forty-three officers. The lar
gest is the Baptist Cadets, with sixty
six men and three officers Then
comes the Maybury Cadets, an Episeo-
pal organization, with sixty men, and
the First Congregational Cadets with
ffty-three; the first and last being
armed with rifles. The Episcopalians
have six companies, the Catholics

GoAERNmENTAL TELEGRAPHs.

Senator Butler has introduced into
the senate a bill for the establishment
of a government system of telegraph
lines. Petitions with over two hundred
thousand signatures have been pre-
sented to congress for such legislation
as will rid the country of that octopus
like monopoIy-the Western Union
and it does seem now as if some prac-
teal legislation may be expected in
this direction. Il is nearly quarter of
a century since the Knights of Labor
commenced the agitation for govern
mental telegraphs and governmental
railroads, and it was a long while be-
fore we could get the trade unionists
of the country to take interest in the
subject. But finally the shoe common
ced to pinch the printers. In cities
where newspapers would have multiple
ed and given work to members of that
craft, they we're stopped by lack of
news facilities. The Associated Press
was part of the great telegraph mo-
nopoIy. Men of limited means could
not go into the publishing business.
The news of the world was essential to
a daily newspapers success. Exhorbit-
ant rates stood in the way of special
telegraph news. The Associated Press
had a monopoly of the cheaper method
of disseminating news.
With this knowledge of how the mo-
nopoly was standing in their way to
work, the Typographical Unions have
had prepared the bill presented by
Senator Butler to the United States
| senate.
The bill directs the organization of a
board, to consist of the secretary of
state, the secretary of war and the
postmaster general, who are directed
to arrange a system of trunk-line tele-
graphs connecting the various sections
of the country with the city of Wash
ington, with connections along these
lines at such cities as shall best sub
serve the public good. This system is
to be carried on as part of the postal
system of the country, and discrimina-
ton in rates is prohibited, except that
a lower rate is allowed for press MESA
ges than for current business. The
carrying on of the telegraph business
by individuals or corporations is not
prohibited.
The government control of tele-
graphs, as we'll as of railroads, will
| soon, if it is not already, be essential to
the perpetuation of the republic. In
other words, we must own the tele-
graphs and railroads, or they will own
US, and the sooner congress realizes
this, the better for the republic.
Speedy action by congress on the prin-
ters' bill will be step in the right dir
ection.-Knights of Labor Journal.

BimetaIIism is the monetary creed of
the worlds best scholarship. The mar
rage of gold and silver and their asso-
citation on terms of absolute equality
in doing the business of the world,
and the imperative necessity that they
shall never be divorced from each
other. are the doctrine of money to
which the learned and scientific minds
of Europe as well as America have sub
scribed, and still subscribe, with very
near approach to unanimity. We can
all afford to be called "cranks" in such
good company.

Sunday, the last day of the year 1893,
was an ideal one for coursing, and when
the enthusiastic votaries of the lesh
arose in the morning and viewed the
prospect, they were at peace with their
maker, the world and themselves. The
visiting sportsmen, the Messrs Bartels,
Charles Barrow and A. G. Lighthan, of
Denver, and Ralph Taylor of Colorado
Springs, arrived by the early morning
train from the west and as soon as
possible after breakfast, the crowd
drove to the Sullivan farm, about five

The cat is out of the bag. The hue
and cry of the goldbugs for the repeal
of the Sherman law was but to prepare
the way for a gold bond issue. Now
Secretary Carlisle is asking congress
to pass law allowing the secretary Of
the treasury to issue 3 per cent gold
interest bonds up to the amount of
s2OO,OOOOOO giving him discretionary
power as to the amount of issue at any
one time. The scheme is uncovered
to further burden impoverish and en-
slave the American people. The money
power is like the daughters of the
horse leech which cry: "Give! giver'
The United States exists for the benefit
of the money power and shylocks of
this and other countries. We are fast
tending toward European conditions
and are rapidly going down grade
toward state of things such as pre-
ceded the formation of the French re-
public.

Communicated.

Ed. REPUBLIC:
The Goodland preachers are reported
as getting the gaffs into the ladies and
gentlemen who participated in the jack
rabbit coursing of last Sunday, and
particularly one lady who was repre-
sented as"waving whisky bottle about
her head" We do not think there was
more orderly crowd gathered together
than the one which witnessed the sport
of jack and greyhound racing over
the prairie, one for life and the other
for honor. The whisky bottle episode
was mistake. We think that the di-
vines of our city should go out to the
chases and be convinced that it is a
healthy ane harmless sport. OF course
the chase was on the Sabbath, but
there were mitigating circumstances.
Jesus of Nazareth is on record as say
ing, "other sheep have I which are not
this fold" Perhaps the coursers of last
Sunday were of the 'sother sheep"

SOMEBODY is going to be made ridicu-

pearance in Washington They will
not allow a stranger to carry bundle

for fear that it may contain dynamite;
detectives in citizens clothes constant
Iy watch the white house and follow
President Cleveland wherever he goes
outside of the building, and foolish
telegram printed several days ago
about an alleged plot to kidnap the
Cleveland children is actually serious
ly discussed by men who ought to have
more sense. Mr.. Mills has been receiv-
ing some threatening letters ever since
he voted for the silver repeal bill, and
the other day his son allowed himself
to be so badly stampeded as to apply
for and receive a permit from the police
authorities to carry a revolver to
protect his father from murderously
inclined cranks; he came to his senses
later and asked that the permit be
cancelled. All of which. is calculated
to increase the number of cranks who
write threatening 'etters, and the pay
of private detectives, some of whom
probably could tell the source of many
of the letters, and to disgust other peo-
pie.

FIRST ROUND.

Rear Admiral and Rough and Ready
The spotted dog went out of the slips
like rocket and airly smothered the
red during the first part of the course
running up tremendous score; but his
heart Tor wind failed him. and Rough
and Ready, running on stoutly, won
after a long and interesting possession
Irish Lass and Rhea. To beautiful
slip the white and brindle bitch made
the run up by three lengths, and there
after never gave Lassie look-in. After
long course, during which Rhea
marked cleverly, the hare holed.
Rock and Birdseye. Rock hung in
the slips, but coming on with plenty OF
fire scored the run-up and turn. After
some smart exchanges Rock again took
possession for a short sequence. The
red bitch then went by him, but the
black was not to be denied, and had
just nicked in when the rabbit holed
leaving him an easy winner.
Bon Bon and ROy's Vanish. Vanish
led and turned the hare to Bon Bon
Give and take exchanges followed, but
the brindle finally got possession and
outlasting Vanish had won rather easily
when the hare holed.
Vans General and Bonnie Bell. The
General nearly fell over himself twice
in the run-up, and this was the most
meritorious part of his performance
The spotted bitch ran with the greatest
dash and allowed him nothing.
Lunch baskets, bottles, ETC., were now
brought out. The keen appetite of the
coursing field made short work of lunch

new the sport, when the slip steward

A NEW kind of grip, said to be more
infectious than that which prevailed
two or three years ago, has made it's
appearance in Europe.s It's attacks are
very sudden, with severe pains through
the body. The prostration is often so
great that the sufferer cannot stand.
The disease usually attacks the eyes
and throat. It is not reckoned so dan
gerous as the original grip, but is more
infectious. The attendance in parlia-
ment has been cut down by it, and the
mortality from lung disease has doub-
led in London within the past four
weeks.

WHEREAS there are in the towns of
this country, hundreds of able-bodied
men starving for food and willing to do
anything honest to earn enough money
to get meals and bed, there are child
rem who are doing far more work than
their strength justifies. With a large
number of the former doing no work
at all and many of the latter doing far
too much, it is evident that there is
something out of joint. Excessive Ia
! Dor for children is atrocious at all
times. Now would be as good time as
zany to force a vigorous crusade against
it, giving those children who must
work reasonable hours and turning
over the work thus left undone to
those who 50 sadly need it.
