New Railroad Invention.

The mechanical department of the rail
way world is greatly stirred by the claims
of an inventor in the matter of controlling
While at first thought il wauld seem that
"A successful undertaking of this nature
was without the range OF possibility yet in
the light Of the marvellous advances
made by science during the past decade ii
is not safe TO dispute any claim made by
the inventive genius of the present age.
If this service can be performed in the
manner described its value to roads hay
ing extensive terminals cannot be Oyer-es-
timated, as it means thousands of dollars
saved in property and great lcsscning in
the number of deaths and muti!ati0ns di-
rcctly due TO misplaced switches. II is
also said for the device that even where
the intcrlocking switch and signal syS-
TEN is in use it is AS equally effective Is in
the case of the ordinary methods en-
ployCd in this important work. But old
railroad men draw the line at this point.
Their .ccpticism will not admit of theil
acceding this seemingly impossible claim.
With an engine equipped with this in
vcntion, it is said, the man at the throttle
valve, even if the signal shows cleai
track and he discovers that the switch
has not been set at safety. he can adjust
the difficulty instantly, providing the err
ror is detected before the front wheels
reach the opening. If the device can per
form all that is claimed for it every rail
read in the country will adopt it unhesi-
tatingly.

twice as much as they do now, if silver
was remonetized. Well, suppose they
do;-is not that just what we want?
Does not the prosperity of the work
ing people lie at the base of the ma
tion's prosperity? Would not such a
result set all the tramping silver
miners at work who are now starving?
Is it not better to do that than to
raise armies, at the cost of the tax
payers, to shoot them down, and
eventually perhaps to enslave the
whole country, taxpayers and all?
But observe how completely this
knaye, Sherman, answers the current
argument of all the other knaves.
Their outcry has been that the re-
monetiZatiOn of silver would enrich
the silver mine e-owners; and now John
Sherman declares that it would not
because the mine-owner's profits would
be eaten up by the increased wages
they would have to pay their work
men. And SO one lie destroys another
lie.
But it is not to-day a question of
wages for the miners but of work
Most of the silver mines are shut up,
and the former workmen are tramp
ing the world, living on charity; while
great states are ruined, and the whole
business of the nation paralyz ed.
See, brethren, how the sophstries of
ahe king-thief of all these plunderers
disappears in thin air the moment the
lance of truth touches them. And
this is the kind of poisonous pabulum
on which the American people have
been fed, through the spoons of the
daily press. until we are brought face
to face with the end Of Republican in.
stitutions in this nation.

citizens, but shall go through the

In Gods name what right has any
man to crawl in between the people
and the government, and levy taxes,
ian attribute of the highest SOW
erelgnty), upon the people, for the
use of their own money? Why the ma
tional bank notes are printed by the
government, Chat is, the people,; on
paper furnished by the government,
Chat is the people); stamped by the
United States, and signed by the Off
clals; and their only guarantee of pay
ment is redemption in greenbacks,
the peoples money, also printed by
the people. 1t is an incalculable, in
credible absurdity that an intelligent
people would permit their own money
to be MIXED to them. through the
seive Of the banks, and pay heavy in
terest to the bankers for holding the
strainer. There might just as we'll be
a'laW that no man could thresh his
grain unless banker held the sacks,
and charged him ten per cent of the
crop for doing so; whether the farmer
wanted him there or not.
And remember, friends, that the
Peoples Party is the only party in the
United States that proposes any
remedy for this great encroachment
on the rights of the public.
1t declares for greenbacks, full legal
tender, issued directly to the people,
acithout the Intervention of banks Why
not? The greenback must be better
than the national bank note, because
the note is redeemable in a greenback;
and surely you cannot redeem a
superior thing by an Inferior.
And this change, proposed by
the Peoples Party would save the peo-
pie of the United States SIS, 900, 900 a
year interest, now paid to national
banks, for getting between the people
and the government and putting
forth an inferior currency.
And observe, friends, the bankers
are determined that, if your dire ne
cessities force an increase of money,
that they shall handle 1t; and that erery
dollar Of 1t shall pay tribute to them; and
for this tribute YOU WILL GET MOTH
ING!
Are you ready to agree to this? If
not, vote for the Peoples Party candi-
dates for Congress, and for the State
Legislature; for they belong to the on
ly party that has ever dared to open
its mouth against the present
system; and the next Legislature will
either elect a man to the U. S. Senate
pledged to obey the bankers or a man
pledged to defend the people. What
say you? Where are you? Are you
for yourself, or for the chaps that are
bleeding you? There is nobody can
prevent you from voting as you
please. Have you got sense enough to
vote to help yourself? That's the
question. How will you answer it?

DISFRANCHISING CITIZENS.
MORE AND MORE OF 1T.
Attempting to Overthrow the Re-
public.

We showed the other day that the
mill owners of New England were re-
fusing work to their workmen, unless
they would agree, in writing, to give
up their right, for five years, to partici
pate in the government of their coun-
try. And then we quoted the utter
ances of the Union Pacific railroad
company, at Omaha, that their en-
ployes must not have anything to do
with politics, and that if any man was
nominated for office he would be dis
charged at once. But this villainous
scheme to destroy liberty has lifted
it's hideous head right here in Mime
sofa. The St. Paul Morning Call
says:
''There is hubub among railroad
employees, especially those of the
Northern Pacific, over what the men
regard as gross attack on their per-
sonal and political rights. Since the
present campaign opened there have
been many indications that the com
panieS would take firm steps to cOun-
teract the movement among the men
to vote and act with the Populists.
This has been shown in Ramsey coun-
ty particularly, where the A. E. u, is
strongest and whose membership is
said to be almost to man in the
Peoples Party, and where in one or
two notable instances the leaders have
been supposedly corralled by restoring
them to the places they were turned
out of at the time of the strike"
The following is a copy of the gen
eral managers order on the subject:
"H. T. Paine, I. e. Oakes, Fl. c.
Rome, receivers. Northern Pacific
| ager, ST. Paul, Oct. s, 1S94.-Circular:
The Northern Pacific does not desire
to take any part or interest in politics,
on account of the strife it would en-
gender, which would interfere with
| the efficiency of its service. 1t is or
dered that all employees refrain from
| taking any active part in politics, and
| if any employees are nominated for Of
flee they must resign from the COM
pany's service.
81. w. KENDRICK,
General Manager"
Unless the Peoples Party sweeps
the country, and puts check to those
abominable encroachments on human
rights, the scheme will spread and the
laboring people will have to give up
the right to oself-government or starye;
and our whole system will be over
thrown and the Republic converted
into a Despotism. Who could have
dreamed, few years ago, that such
innovation would be possible: Who
| can foresee what the next few years
will bring forth? There is no remedy
| but a revolution at the ballot box to
prevent a revolution with cartridge
| boxes. l. -.

NEMESIS OF ROTTENNESS.
The Republican Party Dying of the
Microbes of Corruption 1t Has
Itself Generated.

There has been a fierce battle be-
tween the Nelson and Washburn fac
tions in Washington county. Here is
the Globe report:
"The Washburn candidate was w.
G.. Masterman, of Saltwater: the Nell
son, or uninstructed, Hon. John Zelch,
of Cottage Grove.
At the primaries Zelch carried
thirty-one delegates, while Masterman
only secured nineteen; but here the
funny" work commenced.
R. G. Evans, national committee
man from Minnesota. and a fast
friend Of Senator Washburn, arrived
in Saltwater about the time the dele
gates from the country made their ap-
pearance. and while his presence may
have had nothing to do with the
delegates, the friends and managers
of the Cottage Grove man claim to
the contrary, and they even go farther
than this.
The A. P. A. came in for share of
the work and several unaccountab BILE
changes are attributed to this un-
American influence. Masterman, it
has been charged. is member of the
Saltwater lodge of this order. Zelch
carried twenty-five delegates in the
country districts and nine in Stillwa-
ter. The latter stood firm clear
through the fight. principally, it is
said, because of their opposition to the
A. p. A. The delegates from the
strong A. P. A. town, although friends
of Zelch and instructed for him, could
not withstand this appeal of their
brother Apaists and went to Master
man.
Through the fight in the county
Zelch went single-handed and alone,
making clean and honorable fight,
and his friends are naturally fairly
boiling over at the manner in which
he was sold out and betrayed. They
| promise to make their influence felt
| later.
While the nomination of Master
man is Washburn victory, it is like
| ly to prove a very costly one. The
friends of Zelcn in the country dis
| tricts Of the county we're so disgusted
at the manner in which the Washburn
men attempted to carry their towns
that they went almost solidly for
Zelch to condemn such tactics. One
delegate last evening told of a town
where $400 was spent in packing the
caucuses. Beer went into this town
by the barrel and keg, and there was
no lack of whisky. Zelch refused t6
enter into such contest and lost the
delegates, but his friends are just as
indignant as though he had carried
the town in question and then lost il
the night before the convention, as he
did several others that he carried
hands down.
Think of that. Four hundred dol
lars spent in one township! Beer by
the barrel! Religious intolerance ani
corruption working together to buy
up d candidates delegates! The chie1
cook-and- -bottle-was sher sent out from
Minneapolis! It is the same old story
We are publishing similar records fol
1878. Time has only made it worse
The doomed party is destroying itsel
| by its rottenness. There isn't enough
sound flesh left in it to hold together
1t stinks. Let Us bury it. [. D.

A Letter From Lewiston.

Two of the old pioneers OF Idaho, s. W. Rey-
nolds and N. V. Jarrett, passed through here
yesterday to pay visit to their old home on
the Kanawha in West Virginia The news
papers throughout this country claim that one
OF their old bosom friends, Bill Wilson, the
father of the late tariff reform BILL was knock
ed out, and they think their people at home
have become demented and immediately set
out to see what was the matter Sike and Marx
came TO Idaho county over 80 years ago and
have helped TO build up Idaho county to be
one OF the banner counties of the state. By
hard licks and economy they have accumulat-
ed their share of this worlds wealth. Mr.. Jar.
rett has one of the best improved and finest
ranches in the State which he located improv'
ed and proved mp on under Presumption. Home
stead and Timber Culture acts. On his former
visit to West Virginia many wears ago, he

best daughters who has toiled by his side In the
hardships OF frontier life aud made narrow

! Sike has always been favorite among thu
| girls but has withstood all the tempting smile
so far but 1t is surmised and feared by many
aspiring maidens here that Sike has warn
J spot in his heart for some Kanawha girl tina
he prefers to preside over his fine home
