UNCLE SAM ACTS
Government Troops to Stop
Coxeyites Who Stole a Train.
Dangers The Army Ran Into by Seizing
Property in Hands Of Government.

WASHINGTON, April 2p.-The strong
hand OF the national government has at
last been extended to check the
lawless mob OF Coxeyites who seized a
train on the Northern Pacific Railroad at
Butte, Mont, and started Eastward. This
morning Colonel Swain who is in COM
mand OF the department OF Dakota in the
absence in Europe OF General Merritt was
instructed by telegraph to use the United
States troops to Intercept the mob
and restore the property OF the
railroad. This action follows
closely upon Attorney General Olney's
telegram OF instructions to United
States Marshal Bede at st. Paul.
There is no legal difficulty in
the way of Governmental action at this
stage, as the railroad property is
now in the hands OF the
United States Courts acting through
a receiver, and the President may move at
once upon the representation of the
United States judicial officers.
There are sufficient forces of L.. 8. troops
at st. Paul and at Bismarck on the line
eastward of the train seizers. and il is eX-
pected they will be stopped at one OF these
points.

A BUGLE CALL TO ACTION.

The address of the State Executive
Committee OF the Prohibition party
of Mississippi, which is published on
the first page of today's LEADER, is
worthy the serious attention of every
opponent of the liquor traffic in Mis-
sissippi. 1t goes straight TO the mar
row of the liquor question and clearly
and truthfully presents the subject
just as it is. Friends of Prohibition,
the time for aggressive action along
political lines has come. The Demo
cratic party has aligned itself on the
side of the saloon and thrown down
the gauntlet. The foes of the liquor
traffic must take it up.
Read the address of the Committee
and begin to organize. More need not
be said here.

IT'S COnling!

IT'S coming up the steep of time,
And this old world is growing brighter!
We may not see its dawn sublime,
Yet high hopes make the heart throb lighter!
Our dust may slumber under ground
When it awakes the world in wonder,
But we have felt it gathering round
Have heard its voice of distant thunder!
Ills comingl yes, tits coming!
IT'S coming now, that glorious time
Foretold by seers and sung in story,
For which, when thinking was a crime,
Souls leaped to heaven from scaffold's CORY!
They passed. But, 10! the work they wrought!
Now the crowned.hopes of centuries blossom.
The lightning of their living thought
Is flashing through Us, brain and bosom.
IT'S coming! yes, it's coming!
Creeds, empires, systems rot with age,
But the great peoples ever youthful!
And it shall write the futures page.
To our humanity more truthful.
There's divinity within
That makes men great If they but will it.
God works with all who dare to win.
And the time cometh to reveal it..
IT'S coming. yes. tits coming!
Fraternity! Loves other name!
Dear, heaven connecting link of being!
Then shall we grasp thy golden dream,
AS souls, full statured, grow farseeing.
Thou shalt unfold our better part
And In our life cup yield more honey;
Light up with joy the poor mans heart
And loves own world with smiles more
sunny.
IT'S coming! yes, tits coming!

NO SEX IN CRIME
A New Order of Things From Lincoln, Ne

A New Order of Things From Lincoln, Neb.
Mayor Wier of Lincoln, Neb., has is
sued an order to the chief of police on
the subject of the disreputable houses in
that city, in which he says:
II am in nOwise in sympathy with
the methods commonly used in dealing
with this evil. The monthly fine sys-
tenn, usually applied to women alone, is
to all intents and purposes license, and
l do not believe in municipal copartner-
ship in crime. will under no circum-
stances concur in the custom of fning the
women alone, believing that all prosti-
tutes, male and female, should be dealt
with exactly alike"
Then follow five distinct orders to go
into effect on and after March /.
Commenting upon this bold and i'm
partial treatment Of dual Offenders, The
Union Signal says editorially:
eve shall have solved the social evil
problem, and all our problems as well,
when we recognize the twofold truth
that there is no sex in crime and nc
sex in citizenship"

world to compete with men breadwin-
ners. In this way the industrial prob
lem is made most serious. Women and
children compete with and cut down the
income of male wage ,arners, and the
labor problem comes uprermost, only TO
be solved when we solve the liquor ques-
ton.
The train of evils following in the
wake Of this funeral, Cae of 10000 each
year, shows how the government pro-
tects p the home, the wife and children
and the best interests Of society.
The saloon cannot be legalized and the
home protected under the same flag.
Men voters, what are you going to DO
about it, and when are you going to 90
it? Will you begin next time you vote'
Your answer will be in the size OF the
next Prohibition party vote.

The New York Recorder recently Of
fered a reward of S25 to the person who
would give the best definition of the
word ''seigniorage." A large number
of answers were received, but the fol
loving was the prize winner: 'Seignio-
rage consists of the difference between
the cost of an amount of bullion and
the face value of the coins minted
from it. BY the Sherman act the gov
eminent was compelled to purchase
100000 ounces of silver per month at
the market price. AS the price of sill
yer fluctuated, so the amount of treas
ury notes issued in payment OF this
bullion sometimes increased. some
times diminished. The downward ten
dency having been greater i'll the last
few years, there were issued, from the
time of the passage of the Sherman act
to its repeal Sl54, 900 treasury notes to
cover an amount of bullion which
should actually have been 209,0O0,O00
silver dollars. In other words, there IS
now an amount lin excess of the re-
serve necessary to cover the 5lo4,Go,-
600 treasury notes. in the treasury
which, if coined, would make oo,oO0,000
silver dollars against which the selgn-
forage bill is to issue paper currency,
and put S55,OO0,0O0 in the treasury and
help the government out of it's finan-
cial difficulties"
And it was a bill to coin the silver
seigniorage which Cleveland vetoed.
