TRANSITION STATE.

evils in waiting for the political
disintegration and transition
state, or conditions that would
alone help the people to help
themselves and retrieve at the
ballot-box what they lost through
gambling politicians and corrupt
parties. This condition in the
Republican party commenced
such pure men as Charles Sum
ner and hundreds of others lett
the party on account OF its cor
ruption. He was Republican,
he said, until it was necessary
for him to scar his conscience to
remain one then he left the
party with some of the noblest
founders of the party. From
the purity of Lincoln's admins
tration, which can be classed
with that of Washington for pur-
ity of purpose and for the good
of the WHOLE people, we have
the Swinging round the circle"
of Andrew johnson, who did
little good and no particular
harm. Then comes Gen. Grant,
a man with military talents
equal to Napoleon l., but had
not one prerequisite of a states
man in his character. The po-
litical leeches and mountebanks,
in the pay of the money power,
used him as plant tool to sub
serve their ends, and they never
missed. The agents of the
money classes prevailed ON him
to veto the Dependent Pension
bill in the coos, when it would
have done the soldiers only the
Justice they deserved. Then
came the Back-Salary-Grab bill,
which transferred $1,000 of the
peoples money into the pockets
of the members of congress who
had received and receipted the
sergeant-at-arms for their sala-
ries, and added $4,000 to the sal
airy of Grant, himself. He sign
ed this bill, and right then and
there | kicked out of the Repub-
lican traces, and have never vot-
ed the ticket since. In 1872,
Grant came in for his second
term, and, under the constitu-
ton, he pocketed his extra s25,-
600 under she Back-Salary-Grab
bill. Under his administration,
the "Credit- Strengthening Act"
was passed and signed by him.
This took millions out of the
pockets of the people, and trans
ferred them to the holders OF
United States bonds issued to be
paid in "lawful money of the
United States" and altered to
read, payable in GOLD on de-
mand." These bonds were pur-
chased by the money Plutocrats
Of Wall street and John Sher-
mans First National Bank OF
New York, he then being secre-
tary of the treasury, with green
backs at 40 per cent. And thus
were the people robbed. Grant
e;oued this hill and was after.

Then, in 1873, congress, dom
mated by Republicans in both
branches, demonetized silver,
which was worth, in open mar
ket, So per 500 over gold
dropped the silver dollar from
the mintage bill and passed it in
the dead watches of the night,
and Grant signed it. The crop
of tears we are now reaping in
this country is directly attribut-
able to this worse than felonious
piece of business. The thing
was so nicely concoctcd and SO
secretively managed that the
people only began to find it out
in 1876, when the Greenback
party was organized at Indian
apolis and Peter Cooper ran for
president on that issue. In 1873,
Bland, of Missouri, made a des-
perate effort in congress to have
the Republicans undo their dirty
work in demonetizing silver.
They refused utterly to go back
to the constitutional standard of
money, where it belonged, and
all Bland could get out of them
was a makeshift of the mintage
of 81, 900, 900 per month. Then
again, it was in 1890, and that
arbitrator to the people, John
Sherman, headed the free-silver
men off with his bullion bill
makeshift, and Grover Cleveland
got comfortably away with that,
and, up to fifteen days ago, all
the silver dollars that were mint
ed by this administration, from
the repeal of the silver bill, was
500 silver dollars bearing the
date of 1894. These were not
for the people. They were used
in Tennessee and Alabama to
make the "white trash" and
"hoodooists" believe that "Mas-
sa" Cleveland was making silver
dollars all right.
These are simple facts, unvar-
uished. and on which you have
not to draw on your imagination
for anything. Yet, the Repub-
lican still "points with pride" to
the past history of his party as
proof positive that it should be
continued in power.

and patriotic administration OF

BUILD THE CANAL.
Senator Morgan's Advice
to Congress.
1T MUST ACT AT ONCE.
So Far Everything Seems to Be
Favorable.
1T MUST ACT AT ONCE.
AMERICAN INTERESTS GREATEST
The Enterprise Should Be Under the
Absolute Control of this Country
if Possible.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Nor.
gan has completed and will present to the
Senate within the next day or two his re-
port on the Nicaragua canal. The report.
after referring to the suspension of work
on the canal. owing to the monetary
stringency of the last year, has the fol-
lowing TO say of the canal plan:
''ln consequence of the suspension there
has been some loss, but not of a serious
character, in the depreciation of the plant
for construction of canal. but all dreds-
ers and machinery requisite for dredg-
ing and the houses, the structures and
wharves necessary for the work ON the
eastern division have been supplied and
with slight repairs are in condition for
the immediate res umption of work on the
canal. Carefully revised estimates of the
cost of the canal and work connected with
il makes the total S87.000.0O0 at the out
side"
Senator Morgan says that the action
taken by the Senate up to the present
time in the encouragement of the work
created the belief and excited the desire
Of this country that the canal would
be speedily constructed under the imme-
diate auspices of the United States and
with the use of its credit.
This sentiment and conviction" he
says, "baS increased from the time of be-
ginning to the present. and it has been
encouraged by the fact that the great lead
ing political parties have declared in favor
of its construction by the United States as
far as that may be done under the conces-
siOns from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. In
the annual messages Of our Presidents this
subject has uniformly received a strong in-
dorsement."
He continues: "If action by Congress
is delayed unreasonabiy long the company
will be compelled to either abandon the
concession aud lose the money already iu-
vested in the canal or to accept the offers
made by the foreign capitalists. If either
of these results follow by the inacton of
Congress the people could not censure the
| canal company for yielding to a fate that
it could have avoided if Congress had
taken up the subject of the construction Of
the canal through the aid of the United
States."
In conclusion the Morgan report says,
1.-THE plain and certain effects of this bill
if it becomes law will be to put into ac-
tive employment S100 100000 of money
oolloWeu NUN Jul UWu peOplo WITHOUT
risk to the Government. Such a move
ment at this time would stir all industries
into activity and release other holdings of
millions of dollars that are now being
hoarded or employed in gambling in stocks.
1t would furnish employment to $4,000
Americans who are now marching On the
highways begging for work. and often for
food. 1t would yield to the United States
at the rate OF 81 per ton for canal charges
not less than $4,000. 900 per annum in diyi-
dends on its $70O00.000 of stock in the
canal"

PEACE IN THE WEST.
So Far the Coast Divisions Have Not
Been Affected.

SPOKANE, April 13-The Great North
ern is lied up from Spokane to Great Falls,
Mont, most of the men on the kalispeli
and Montana division and Montana Gen.
trail being out. West of Spokane the road
is operated, trains moving as usual, and
none of the men are out. Assistant
General Superintendent Farrell expects no
violence, as he thinks trains will be run
ming on both divisions inside of three days.
A telegram was recsived from General
Manager Case denying the report that the
Great Northern was running in new men
to take the places Of the employees who are
members of the American Railway Union.
The men here are quiet and await further
developments. The authority of the two
men ordering the strike is questioned by
many.
SEATTLE, April 13.-The Great North
ern main line has had the middle cut out
of it by strike which began at noon to-
day. Not a wheel is moving, not wire
working and not trackman on duty be-
tween Spokane and ST. Paul. according to
a telegram received to-day from James
Hogan of Helena, chairman of the Ameri-
can Railway Union, by the local officers.
The intention to strike was q well-kept
secret among the employees, and the first
intimation the local officials had of it was
the news that il had come and the silence
of the telegraph instruments. The en-
ploves of the road. no matter to what or
ganzation they belong, have by popular
vote federated all their unions and made
common cause in demanding the restora-
ton the wages prevailing before the re-
duction of August, 1898. and the arrange
ment of new schedule with committee
of their own choice. This strike Includes
engineers, fremen. conductors. brakemen,
switchmen. operators, agents. bridge-car-
penters, section-hands, car-eleaners and re-
pairers. The coast lines extending along
the sound from Seattle to New West
minister were not Included, because the or
ganization is not strong enough there to
give promise of success.
The strike order provided that passenger
trains should be taken right through. In
! order not TO work any hardship on pas
sengers, but freight trains were dropped
where they happened 10 be at noon. The
westbOund passenger train due here at II
O'Clock last night was very late in reaching
Kalispell, and had 30-hour run TO make
from there. which would not have brought
it to Seattle till after noon to-day, but 1t
was rushed through in twenty-five hOurs,
and got in at II O'clock this morning.
AS the local officials only have charge of
the coast lines and the main line is under
separate management. they know nothing
officially and very little uhofficially.

WASHINGTON. April 13.-Naval vessels,

In British Columbia, in preference TO
American coal. This was not gene ally

yesterday, 81 have succeeded in obtaining
an order from Secretary Herbert which
ought TO be very satisfactory to coal-mine
owners in the vicinity OF Puget Sound,
whose claim to have coal equal to British
Columbla's best | believe to be well

cruiser Yorktown and the coast defense
vessel Monterey. two vessels Of entirely
different class. to go to Seattle and take on
sufficient coal of the best American grade

steam producer under various conditions
of ordinary and forced draught. have
not the least doubt that the result Of these
tests will show the Navy Department that
we have as good coal in the State of Wash
ington as can be bought in British Colum-
bia.

patriotic citizen ought to be Interested.

ment from Dunbar for troops.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 13.-To-night the
north OF the coke region is quiet, as it has
been all day. All the coke works that tie

the northern end is concerned the strike is
practically at an end.

President Cleveland Desires to

The interests of Americans Not

Trouble and Expense.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-A movement
has been initiated to release the United
States from the entangling alliances.

dent Cleveland. into which il
had drifted as a result of the troubles in
Samoa culmina nating in the treaty of Berlin
in 18S3 by which the United States. Ge I
many and Great Britain undertook joint
protectorate over the Samoan group.
The arrangement has never worked well
and each of the parties has shown dissat-

particular has been subjected TO. q

the present administration regards as ut

TOOK ARMOUR'S ADVICE.
Deacon White Gets Caught in Big
Wheat Transaction.

NEW YORK. April 13-On Wall street 1t
is said that Deacon S. Y. White has been
badly hit In the recent fall of wheat.
Those who should know claim that the
deacon began buying a few days ago on
the advice of p. d. Armour of Chicago
when May wheat sold at 81 cents. He in
creased his holdings. SO the report had IT,
by more than a million bushels with every
half cent advance.
At one time he could have sold ct a
fine profit, but Mr.. Armour had assured
him that wheat was going to 80 cents, and
he could sell at that figure.
When the price touched 66 cents last
week he deacon is credited with having
had II, 100000 bushels. Since then there
is shrinkage of more than 6 cents, and
The report that Deacon White is again
slightly embarrassed was started when his

ONLY ONE WOMAN.
The Oakland Regiment Has Dwindled
to That.

The Industrial Army now In Oakland
has made good deal of talR lately about
organizing a regiment of women which
should head vanguard to Washington
and soothe the savage breasts of all who
opposed its progress through the land. The
fact is that the regiment consists of one
woman at present, with the possibility of
another to bear her company. Her name
is Mrs. Nevins. She is already we'll known
as speaker and organizer for the Peoples
party. About week ago she came over
from her home near Mt. Diablo. and hear
ing that the army wanted woman orator
to 60 with it to Washington she declared
that if her husband would consent it
should have her services. Something of
Mrs. Nevins' pluck ard daring may be
gathered from the manner In which she
travelled back to her ranch to seek this con-
sent. She went alone and drove spirited
team, camping out at night by the road
side without any fear, for she carried a
trusty shotgun for use in cases of emer-
gency
There was rejoicing at the headquarters
of the Industrial Army in Oakland when
letter was received yesterday from Mrs.
Nevns stating her determination to go to
Washington.
A breach in the ranks of the Industrial
Army. now recruiting at Carriers barn, is
imminent. Upon two distinct propositions
Cartier and The soldiers part company and
unless one or the other comedies point it
is possible that the Industrials may awake
some morGing to find themselves without
habitation.
Since the new army was first thought of
here. Cartier has been Its head and stay.
He has provided provisions and given
them his barn to sleep in. aud it is safe to
say that without him their existence would
be hard one.
At recent election Cartier's services
were rewarded by bis appoin tment to the
colonelcy of the regiment. Now the SOL
diers are tiring of his presence. and de-
clare that the election was only honorary,
with no thought of Cartier's actually serv-
ing. This has made the quas-colonel very
indignant.
A second clash came when Cartier's mo-
tion to invite the Mayor and Council to
conference with regard to the course and
treatment of Kelly's army while in the
city was rejected. The recruits insist that
the authorities being the offending par
ties overtures should properly come from
them.
