able work for the unemployed?
We must face the enthroned plutoc-
racy and overthrow it, or we shall all
be slaves. The refusal to hear the
champion of the millions of unem-
ployed and the thrusting him into
prison for his humanity and loyalty
to the people and the cause of freedom
is proof absolute that this Is now gov
ernment of the rich and for the rich
alone. The sacred right of all men to
life and liberty, which this government
was organized to defend forever, has
for at least four million workers and
their destitute families been de-
MED, and foul, violent hands
have been laid upon the persons
of the noble men who called
governmental and universal attention
to them. The champions of the un-
employed have been handcuffed and
dragged to prison; the destitute mil
lions whom no man will hire are suf
fering the anxieties and agonies of
those who face landlords whose de-
mands they cannot meet, and who for
food must beg the cold crusts of char
ity, or steal, or sell their bodies to the
rich, or suicide. Women and children
are being sweated, starved and tor
tured to make profits for the rich.
Families by the million are being sti-
fled and poisoned and slowly murdered
by the necessity forced upon them to
crowd together in most miserably
close, unsanitary quarters to reduce
rent. Tens of thousands of innocent
babies are being yearly slaughtered in
the cities to increase the rent roll of
the landlords.
Degradation, indescriba BILE suffering,
constant temptation, the crushing of
spirit and the desperation caused by
dependence upon the pittiless profit
seekers, are forced upon the unprotect-
ed poor. Profit, profit, profit from the
toll of others, is what the landlords
and capitalists all demand. Usurers
with thrones built on title deeds con-
troll all the opportunities to work that
more than half our people can ap-
proach, and they must compete and
struggle with each other for permission
to earn profits for their masters. And
when it is proposed that the hunger
pinchcd idle millions work for the
whole people for the wealth they pro-
duce, the proft-demanding usurers use
the courts and the government to inn
prison the men who would cut off their
now legal enslaving pewer.-Lincoln

WHERE ARE OUR LIBERTIES?

The Constitution Is Trampled Under Foot
and the Rights of the People Are
Abridged.
An American citizen sentenced to
jail for the crime of endeavoring to
plead for the poor and against usury
while standing upon the steps of the
capitol at Washington! An honest,
peaceful, law-abiding citizen of ample
means deprived of his liberty, hand
cuffed and sent to a workhouse prison
in the Capitol city of the United States
of America, under the eyes of congress,
May 81, 1894, because he essayed to ask
that the starving and charityfed mil
lions might be enabled to escape from
the tender mercies of the usurers who
allow none of the landless to la Dor ex-
cept as it will profit them, that is, the
employers!
There was, there uds time when to
be an American was to be sovereign
free man whose rights and liberty no
power on earth dared disregard.
o Americans, sons of the revolution,
shall we suffer this unparalleled inso-
lence, this bold striking down of indi
vidual liberty, this trampling on the
persons of men and citizens by power
which has climbed to the throne and
prostituted the courts to serve it? Shall
we be unmoved by all this? The friend
of the friendless, the unemployed and
suffering poor is in prison; his wrists
have been hurt with fetters; his plea
the authorizes would not hear, and con-
gress has refused to investigate the
acts of violence, perjury and judicial
tyranny which he suffered and which
condemned him under false as well as
unjustifiable charges.
The decree is. that the poor must
keep out of sight They may starve,
they may suicide, but they must not
congregate and choose leaders to speak
for them. They will be adjudged vag-
abonds if they ask for work; if they
plead for freedom, for common rights
restored, for independence.
But shall the cause of the destitute
and dsfenseless go unchampioned?
Shall the imprisonment of the three
friends who sought Of congress- justice
for them leave them without friends

The Movement Will Progress Until Indus
trial Freedom Is Restored to Human
ity.
You have been thinking about it and
wondering about it and trying to un-
derstand it. So have I. What does it
mean and what will it lead to? The
whole world is watching it with bated
breath, not that few soldiers might
not annihilate it, but it is not the thing.
1t is the sentiment born of present con-
ditions that causes the anxiety. From
every section there has something given
birth, as if by sympathy to this new
crusade. The armies, if there were ten
times as many, are not menace to ex-
isting things, but the spirit among the
millions that thus express themselves
are ominous for the near future. How
many are there? What will they do at
Washington. How will they be re-
ceived? What will congress do for
them? What backing have they
in the hearts of the oppressed
millions-these are questions of more
moment to-day to this nation, and all
other nations, than any but a deep stu
dent of the evolution of social forces
can in the least comprehend. 1 do not
believe the actors in this movement re-
alize its influence, but they have by no
means gone at it planless or purpose
less. No tyrant has ever yet peace
fully extended the privileges of the
many and curtailed his own. Nor do
l expect to see the tives
of the people at Washington give any
relief. They are both dishonest and
ignorant. Few of them realize the
transitional condition of society and
governments of to-day. But let me tell
you one thing, this is the beginning
of the first struggle for economic free
dom that has ever agitated the
governments of mankind. There have
been struggles for bill of rights, for
king or for representative government,
but never before for the ideal govern
ment thought out by the wise and good,
one recognizing the brotherhood of
man, the equal right of all to the op-
portunities of nature. For the coming
struggle the world has been preparing
the minds of men for thousands of
years, approaching it slowly and in a
zig-zag manner, but ever surely onward
and forward. don't know how it will
come, nor when its bursting shall
arouse the sleeping conscience of the
millions, but it is just before
U.s. I do not think it will be in
the tread of armed millions, do not
believe it will be fought on battle
fields. red with blood of brothers, but
there will be no peace until the rob-
bers of the masses, typical of the kings
of old. have drunk of the claret. Its
victories will be those of peace, of suf-
fering for rights sake, by the power
of pleading and explaining rather than
by brute force. So ominous has it be-
come that the compact of silence en-
tered into by the evil owners of the
daily press, has been broken, had to
be. For every evil done will the day
of retribution come, often swiftly. In
the battle of ideas what are you doing
for recruits? Books, not bayonets.
pamphlets not pistols. papers not pow
der, speeches not swords. Are you en-
isted?-Coming Nation.

USES OF SAND.
The Wide Utility to Which 1t Can he Put i'm
the Househo

The Wide Utility to Which 1t Can he Put I'm
the Household.
1t has frequently been said that the
commonest things are the most valua-
BILE to humanity. Air and water and
all the necessities are free. In COM
mon sand we have one of the most val
liable Of all household agents. There
is not a securing soap of any value In
the markets that does not owe its chief
excellence to the use of sand as a large
ingredient. In olden times housewives
secured their kitchen floors into snowy
whiteness with pure sand and soap,
and the clever manufacturer of modern
times has utilized the idea and manu-
factured a sand soap, one of the most
valuable of modern conveniences. The
old-tifne kitchen floor, which was
strewn with sand in fanciful figures, is
fast becoming thing of the past. Our
modern kitchens are no less neat, per-
haps, but they require less care, with
their hardwood floors and oiled boards.
Yet there is probably as much use for
sand in various ways now as ever. The
handsome parlor vases are usually filed
with some such ingredient to weight
them and prevent the light porcelain
piece. We have learned that flowers
will keep better in damp sand than
in water, and a centerpiece of flowers
for the table will be more gracefully
and firmly arranged in jar of wet
sand than in a foundation of moss.
The old gardener knew little of the
value of sand in the garden, but the
scientific gardener of modern times
knows that a sandy loan properly fer
tilted is the most productive of all
soils, and that pure sand is the very
best earth of all in which he can plant
his cuttings and slips for roofing.
Thus the most barren of all the
earths products will be found rich in
usefulness. Without good sharp sand
plaster and mortar of all kinds are i'm
possible, and bed of good sand in the
vicinity of a great city becomes ver-
liable mine of wealth to the owner

egram from Kewanee to-day to the eff
feet that the men were not working
and the receipt of the news from Co
lumbus that settlement had been
effected temporarily changed the
plans of the army that was to move
on Kewanee. The streets were
thronged with men talking over the
situation. All condemn the work of
the Columbus conference and say they
will not go to work at the 1O-cent re-
duction. President Mcbride comes in
for a big share of abuse and many
miners say it is a sell-out. The miners
are praising Vice President Murphy, of
Illinois. and President Adams, of Ohio,
for their refusal to sign the scale.
Their refusal, it is asserted, means
continuance of the strike as far as
those two states are concerned. The
Columbus scale would mean a 1O-cent
cut all through this district. The
miners say they would just as soon die
starving as working.

ocrats and POpu,.=ss-G. q. Wharton Is
Made Chairman -
EMPORIA, Kan, June 13.-The pro-
hibitionists began to gather here yester-
day morning for the state convention at
o'clock in the afternoon. The attend
ance was small and very little canvass
ing was done. The delegates seem to
have no idea who the nominee for gov
ernor will be, although St. Johns name
is most frequently mentioned. The ex-
governor, however, said that he would
not accept a nomination for any office.
When shown the report that he was
about to flop to the populists, ST. John
denounced it as false in every particu-
lar. He condemned the present state
administration and said that he could
have nothing to do with a party headed
by Lewelling.
st. John has been agreed upon as
temporary chairman, with Mrs. Annie
L. Austin, of PleasantOn, as secretary.
John p. st. John was chosen tempo
rary chairman. In his speech he de-
nounced the republicans, democrats and
populists, especially the former and
their cowardly action on prohibition
and equal suffrage questions at the state
convention recently. He dwelt upon
the conditions of the country as caused
by republican legislation and strongly
scored the tariff and financial laws.
He outlined the platform of the pro-
hibition party as follows: Suppression
of liquor traffic; government owner
ship of railroads; free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at IL to
1; issuance of money direct to the peo-
pie by the government; opposition to
the issuance of government bonds;
election of senators by popular vote.
The committee on permanent organ
ization reported the name of Hon. G.
q. Wharton, of Ottawa. for president
and that of w. c. Fogle, of Williams
burg, for secretary. The report was
adopted.
Gov. st. John obtained the floor and
in a very neat speech named E. o. Pick
ering, of johnson county, the prohibi-
tion standard bearer two years ago, as
for governor. A motion was
made that the rules be
and he be declared by accla-
nation the choice of the convention,
and the motion carried. An adjourn
ment was had until Q o'clock tO-day
