ASHAMED OF KANSAS.
ashamed Of Kansas" were the words

ashamed Of Kansas" we're the words
OF Morrill,, spoken from heart
A black as night. As dAggers keen
They pierce our souls; or, as dart
OF old, shot from the Indians bow,
All poison-tipped and full Of death,
So fall these vords-their deepest woe
To him who foully gave them breath.
ASHAMED Of Kansas" when her soil
Has won 10 him the wealth he cravedl
Her bartered acres brought his god,
By which her sons are now enslaved!
And dare he stand among the throngs
And ask for honest votes with rest,
And, proud Of his own power, assert,
"When East say I'm from the West'"i
ASHAMED Of Kansas" Do they dare
To tell what Morrill, e'er has done
That Kansas be not 'shamed Of himf
His noble deeds! Oh, tell US one.
Let Kansas women rise relate
The shameful story Of his fears,
When in their midst, lest they resent
The insult offered by his peers.
Were he no coward - had he dared
To come cut boldly and indorse
The issues which he knew we're right,
He would have fallen some dark horse
Had leapt the ring-ha won the boys"
And the machine" had ground out cheers
Such cheers as come from traitor threats,
That greeted equal rights with jeers.
ASHAMED Of Kansss!" yet on men
Whose comrades fell, who gave their all
To save this state, he calls for aid
To help put Kansas in his thrall.
What contradiction this would be
To all the principles Of right,
That men who for their freedom fought
Should now against that freedom fight.
ASHAMED of Kansas" we will be,
II her true sons permit this knaye,
With gold-bOughl votes TO win the day.
Awake! awake! our state to save!
Fling your white flag from rim to rim
OF her horizon hold ii high
Its purity shall dazzle him
Who seeks its bearers votes to buy.
Ashamed Of Kansas" Young and old
Blush for this man, so ed TO shame
He cannot blush nor hang his head,
But seeks to rule whom he defames.
"Ad GstrG per asperd" falls,
A party war cry, to the earth.
From lips likeiMorrill's forbid
That be should drag our dear states worth
From Its high pedestal, and soil
Her record by a single blot
OF treason. Brothers, rise in might!
Ashamed Of Kansas" God is not.

A leading foreign banker says, accord
ing to the Boston Bureau, that there is a
disposition to belittle the importance Of
tks international interest account. His
records, extending over series of years,
show that fully $ll0,OOOOOO is sent
abroad each year on foreign holdings of
American securities. To this should be
added from s50,OOO,OOO to $60,0OO,OOO
expended by American travellers abroad,
or by the American colonists in European
cities. "There is also an item of $40,-

In Luxury.

Nine children born into the world to-day
have to be producers to keep the tenth
child in luxury, because the parents of the
nine are too ignorant to read anything
except what the parents of the one tell
them is all right. Kings, mobiles and ty-
rants, in all ages, in all countries, and in
all. climes, have been supported by the
same ignorance for the same cause

The prosperity that was promised when

to the odious Sherman cowardly make

Cost of One Tariff Reform.

Perhaps the least excusable fea.
ture of the Wilson bill, which was
carefully preserved in all the amend
ments, is the repeal of the reciprocity
provisions of the Mckinley tariff.
For the policy thus established has
been triumphantly vindicated by
opening new or enlarged markets
for our raw and manufactured pro-
ducts in South America and other
countries. Since the Mckinley tariff
went into effect there has been an
immense increase in our shipments
to Cuba not only of wheat, flour, ETC..
but of manufactured articles. The
increase is shown in the following
table:
Agricultural implements, from
$47, to $130,000.
Passenger and freight cars, from
1927, 900 to $271,000
India rubber goods, from $27, 900
to $4,000.
Machinery, from 1865, 900 to
$2,792,O0o.
Cut nails, from $4S, 900 to $107, 900.
Steel bars, from $4,000 to $327,-
900.
Tools, from $115, 600 to $243, 900.
Engines, from so, 900 to $780, 00
Wire, from $l1S, 900 to 1921, 900
Boots and shoes, from $4,000 to
$114,
Other articles, from So 472, 900 to
$1S.S45, 600.
This is an increase of from 81 l.
900, 900 to $2j, 332, 900, or over $14,-
100000. This is what the Demo
cratic tariff bill will cost the coun-
try in the single line of our exports

MAssILLoN, Ohio, June 2o,-An at

or their sympathizers to shoot Corporal
Sherman of Company X, which is
located near Beach City, few miles
south of this place. The corporal was
struck by bullet fired by strikers or
their friends, but luckily it hit brass
button on his coat and tlattened out
without injury. A number of soldiers
chased the men and fired volley after
volley, but the strikers escaped in the
darkness
Soldiers later found man in hiding
near the camp who had just had an
arm amputated. Later the man was
identified as one of the party who had
been firing at members of company X

who had been shot in the head was

RECEPTION OF SOLDIERS AT
MOUNT OLIVE, ILL.

Many Arrests Are Made-Iilinois
Operators VIII Not Accept the Scale
Indiana Miners. Still Out

MOUNT OLIVE, H., June 20. An
angry mob, composed largely of
women met the Seventh regiment
yesterday afternoon. Children echoed
the curses shrieked at the soldiers and
sullen, evil-visaged men muttered
threats of vengeance. For time it
looked as if an attempt would be made
to overpower the militia The mob
was led by lean, gaunt female whose
hair was of grizzly gray Her name
was Bridget Brakery and she raved
like one of the furies
The United States marshals at once
began the work of arresting those
rioters for whom they had warrants
Twenty were arrested during the
afternoon and the determined aspect
of the soldiers awed the would be
rioters. Mount Vernon has been at
the mercy of the alien anarchists from
southern and eastern Europe for the
last week. Of the $500 inhabitants
fully So per cent are OF foreign birth.
There are 600 coal miners here, most
Of whom are natives of Italy, Saxony,
Poland, and Hungary. 1t is these
foreigners who have created nearly
all the disturbance. BY their anarch-
list methods they have practically ter
rorized the town. Last Thursday
night they seized freight car loaded
with provisions ca the Wabash
tracks and looted it. The same night
they stole three carloads of coal from
the Chicago, Peoria & St Louis
railway, which is in the hands
of receiver appointed by the
United States district court They
even became so violent as to
threaten the life of Rev. Father Ter
bronski, who has charge of the Polish
Catholic church here, because
he refused to acquiesce in
their depredations. Time and again
have they declared that they
would dynamite the militia if the gov
ernor dared send it here to suppress
their riotous demonstrations. 1t was
to suppress horde of anarchists of
this variety that the Seventh regiment
came to Mount Olive
The town is quiet now, though large
numbers of men are lettering about
the streets denouncing the ordering
out of the militia They declare it is
an infringement on their rights and

WILL NOT ACCEPT MINERS SCALE
Operators Repudiste the Action of the
Conference at Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 20-The
operators of the Springfield district
will not accept the scale proposed by
the miners at the conference. All of
the leading operators are unani-
nous in declaring that the scale
under existing conditions is alb
surd and that they would rather
allow their mines to remain idle than
to yield to any such terms. 1t will
probably require another conference
of the miners to adjust differences in
this district. 1t is learned on pretty
good authority that the miners at
their conference agreed to submit the
question, in case the operators refuse
TO accept the scale, to a board of
arbitrators composed of one man
selected by the miners, another by
the operators and third by these
two 1t is understood the miners have
resolved to ask Lieut. Gov. Gill to act
as their arbitrator in case this mode
of settlement is resorted to. 1t is also
learned that the miners have decided
to lend financial aid to the defense of
ex-Representative John L. Geher, who
led the mob at Little's mine in Taze-
well county and who is now under in
dictment at PeSin for murder.
PANA, Ill, June 90 SO far as Pana
is concerned the coal miners strike is
at an end. At a mass-meeting of the
union miners of this city yesterday a
committee was appointed to wait upon
the operators and submit the scale
adopted by the Springfield meeting,
which demands that n one of the strike
leaders be blaclll listed and that the
union be recognized, and also that the
miners be paid 40 cents per gross ton
and furnished their supplies. 1t is
hard to predict what may follow, for
the operators here declare they will
not recognize the committee
DECATUR, ILL.,, June 20. There is no
immediate prospect of work being re-
sumed at the three coal mines in
Macon county. The operators refuse
to accept the conference scale.
