Verdict in Favor of Mickens.

Verdict in Favor of Mickens.
very interesting suit was concluded
In the Law and Equity Court yesterday.
II was that Of Warwick against Mickens
for a certain lot which the defendant had
been occupying uninterruptedly Tor htteen
years The jury brought In verdict for
the defendant. Judge Minors lnstruc-
tions to the jury were as follows: III the
iury believes from the evidence that John
III. Mickens, the original defendant In
this action, entered upon the lot of land
in question with the belief that 1t was
his. and with the intentions of clearing
and holding 1t as his property against
all parties, and that he did after his
entry continuously and uninterruptedly
occupy actually all of said lot for fifteen
wears before this action was brought,
claiming II to be his property and exer-
cising such exclusive and notorious acts
of ownership over II as would justify the
belief to others that he did claim it to
be his property. then they must find Tor
the'~defendant. even though they should
believe from the evidence that his entry
upon the lot In question was the result
of his MISLEADING said lot for anothe: lot
which had been conveyed to him."

All Will BE Well.

All will be well. heard this blest assurance
Flung Ger the borders of the unseen
spheres,
It gave me faith and courage and endur-
ance
To walk serenely on and meet the years.
Like the sweet voice of some consoling
spirit,
Down through the silence of the night it
fell
it,
"All will be we'll"
All will be well. Why should we ever
doubt it?
There was no blunder in creations plan,
When Gods vast mind conceived and went
about it,
He was not aided controlled by man,
The stars that move in such immortal
beauty
Through their appointed pathways seem
to tell
Our questioning soul if we but do our
duty,
"All will be WELL"
All will be well. Let not our hearts be
troubled,
BY passing clouds shadows that may
fall,
We must pass bravely with faith re-
doubled:
The glorious end will justify 1t all.
I will believe that voice from heaven'a
portal
Clear as the utterance OF a silver bell
1t spoke to me a truth that is immortal:
"All will be we'll"

Has John Rights.

John Smith, last fall, found himself with
out work, but as he had always been hon
est, paying all his debts, he was allowed
to live, and his grocery and rent bills to
increase until this spring, when, the
wholesaler refused to carry his grocer any
longer, he was of course unable to obtain
any more credit, and bidding his family
goodbye, he started off to find the work
denied him here. Seeing that the price of
lumber increased, he thought that of neces-
sity there must be demand for labor, so
he applied to the saWmils for a job and
found that the wages had decreased; that
there were two men for one job. He then
went to the pine woods to cut some logs,
but found that, although nature had planted
and tended the trees for several hundred
years, the government had given the title
to one man, and John was driven off. He
then started to dig some coal, but found
that this was also under the protection of
government for the benefit of single man,
and although there was a demand for coal,
he refused the liberty to dig it, and
the deputy sheriff told him to move on.
Finding there was a company of the COM
monweal army going to Washington to
mind congress, as it had given away their
right to mine, forest and land, that it was
the duty of government to furnish them
with work and not let them starve, John
joined them in their protest. On the way
to Washington the authorities in the vari-
Gus cities met them with clubs and rifles,
and told them they were not citizens and
had no rights to be protected; the law was
not for their protection, but an instrument
to prosecute them and keep them moving,
lest they might, under the pangs of hunger,
dare to ask for some of the wealth their
past labor had created.
But While the authorities presented them
a club, the poor people divided their crust
with them, helping them forward, hoping
that when they got to Washington their
congressman would recognize them citi-
having equal rights with all other citi-
Zens.
John and his comrades finally got to
Washington, but the police were there first
and barred the way to the capitol grounds,
and when they attempted to step the
grass the only way possible for them to
reach the capitol with their petition) he
and his comrades were dubbed and beaten,
taken to court and fined for daring to ask
justice at the hands of the government.
Now poor John wants to know what he
shall do He wishes to retain his name
a good citizen; must he sit down on some
ones land and be fined and imprisoned as
a trespasser, walk on the highway and be
dubbed by the police tramp until life
is extinct through abuse and starvation, or
must he as last resort fall back on the
instincts of a savage and fight?

REPUBLIC IN DANGER.

John Bull on the Coxey Movement
He Says = Conflict Is Impending I'm
the United States Between Capital
and Labor Which VIII He as Seri-
GUS as That Over Slavery.
LONDON, April 28-If American equanim-
lty could be disturbed by English criticism
Uncle Sam would hardly be able to sleep O.
nights. The opinion Of the British press
Tor the last few days seems to be that the
American people are quite unable to do any
thing right in social, economical and political
anairs. Just now the exploits of the Cox
eyites are giving our loving British cousins
another excuse for proclaiming their belief,
not to say desire, that America is fast GO
ing to the demnition bow-bows The Lon
don papers are giving greater attention
than ever before to signs OF an approach
ing dissolution of the American republic
Thus the Daily Chronicle solemnly remarks:
me Coxeyites are, we believe for the
most part well disposed persons, who nat
urally imagine that their legislators should
have something to offer as remedies for
popular grievances. The Coxeyite move
ment may fizzle out, even the serious min
ing strike may conoeivably come to a
speedy and peaceful end, but, unless we
greatly mistake, a conflict is preparing in
America almost as serious as the conflict
over negro slavery. Discomfort, fierce and
bitter, pervadeS the whole land. Men will
not any longer go on producing wealth and
yet live in poverty themselves, at least not
in republic founded ON the doctrine of
equality,

.WaIking on the Grass.

CTune-"Wearing of the Green.')
In the blessed land of freedom, where King
Mammon wears the crown,
There are many ways illegal now to hold
the people down;
When the dudes of state militia are slow
to come to time,
The laW-uphOlding Pinkertons are gathered
from the slime.
There are wisely-framed injunctions that
you mustn't leave your job,
And a peaceable assemblage is declared to
be mob;
And congress passed a statute framed by
some consummate ass,
SO they're clubbing men and women just
for walking on the grass.
In this year of slow starvation, when
fellow looks for work.
The chances are cop will grab his collar
with a jerk;
He will run him in for vagrancy; he's
branded as a tramp;
And all the well-to-do will shout cit serves
him right, the scamp!
So we let the ruling classes maintain the
dignity of law
When the courts decide against us, we are
filled with wholesome awe,
But we cannot stand the outrage, without
little sass,
When they're clubbing men and women just
for walking on the grass.
The papers say the Coxeyites are all but
anarchists,
So our mayor promised work for all who
wouldn't there enlist,
But when next day the hungry horde sur
rounded the City Hail.
He hedged and said he didn't promise any
thing at all.
So the powers that be- are acting very
queer, to say the least,
They should go and read the Bible all
about Belshazzer's feast;
And when "mene meme teker' at length
shall come to pass,
They'll stop clubbing men and women just
for walking on the grass.

SAVED HER LIFE.

1t Wasn't Gallant in the Big Flag
man. But He Had to Do Something.
At the Rosebank crossing Of the Staten
Island railway there is a big. powerful and
good natured italian employed as flagman
says the New York Sun. He is full of fun
and loves to joke with the boys in the
nelghborhood, and in his broken English he
can hold his own with the best of them.
Some time ago he began his career as a life
saver in the most unromantic and impolite
manner possible. A train was approaching,
and just as he began to wave his white flag
a stout and elegantly dressed young woman
attempted to cross the track. He warned
her. but in his excitement he spoke Italian
She paid no attention to him. but continued
to advance.
There was no time to lose The big
FELLOW gave her strong shove, and fearing
she might fall forward on the track he
emphasized the shove with a strong and
most humiiating kick that sent the fair one
flying through the air. She landed on all
tours in the mud several feet from the
track. The train Numbered by between
them. The lady was saved and unhurt and
as she picked herself up she looked as If
she didn't knew whether she owed her life
to the extremely impolite kindness of the
f1agman or whether she had really been
struck by the engine.
AS she hastily departed the bad boys on
the platform laughed, and the big Italian
looked up at them, remarked:

THE GRAIN GROWERS.
The Farmers in Convention Will
Defend Themselves.


Defend Themselves.
In the foregoing will be found
call for a Grain Growers Convention,
to be held shortly in Minneapolis.
This is the most important move
mcnt for the farmers ever made in
the Northwest. 1t will, we hope,
constitute the beginning Of a new
epoch. Heretofore the agricultural
class has been at the mercy of those
who prey upon it. The farmers were
scattered isolated, divided; while
their enemies were united in solid
phalanx. Let us get together and
see what can be done to put & stop to
this condition of things. 1t may be
we will be able to do nothing. But
at least the cause is worth an effort.
What can be done?
Many valuable suggestions have
been made by correspondents of the
REPRESENTATIVE. Suppose some
thing like this should be attempted?
The REPRESENTATIVE has an Of
flee in the Boston Block, Mime
apolis. We could give desk room in
it, free Of charge, until the ex-
pertinent proved a success.
Then at our Convention let all who
attend chip in what they can afford,
from ten cents to five dollars:-that
money to be used to pay the expen-
ses of an agent-a Secretary-who will
stay in Minneapolis; also to pay for
stationery, printing, and postage.
Let the Secretary agree to work for
month or two without charge, save
his expenses, and after that to have
a reasonable salary. Then let the
convention elect a Board of Man
ayers, under whose orders the Secre-
tary should work.
Then let the Secretary send out
circulars to every local alliance, and
ask it to assemble and report:
i. Are it's members willing to Or
ganizc for f-protection?
2. viii they agree to sell their
wheat through the Association, if
the price is satisfactory?
3. Give the names and pos toffice
of members, and the amount of acres
each one will have in wheat; and the
dates at which they will probably de-
sire to sell; and what proportion of
their crop they will want to sell at
those dates.
q. Are they willing to pay cent
per bushel, on the amount sold
through the Association, if it is evi
dent that the price has been raised
at least that much, through the eff
forts of the Association; the money
to be expended in paying the expen-
ses of the society; and, if any is left,
in renting or building an elevator or
warehouse at Duluth.

Plain STRAIGHT Truth,

Why should we deceive ourselves? The
pot boils not because of the ingredients that
are put in it, but by reason of the fire that
is under it. The cause of the social discon-
tent and industrial ferment with which the
country Is seething is the economic revolu-
ton that has in SO brief a time practically
appropriated the American people for the
enrichment of a class. Until that revolu-
ton can be turned back and its work I'M
done, the propaganda of the counter revolu-
ton in the interest of the people must daily
grow more radical and formidable The
American people are the most intelligent
high-sprited. democratic and daring race
in the world. For plutocracy to expect
to be able to reduce them by main force to
proletarians in one generation is too much
If they had taken more time to the job it
might have succeeded, but they are in too
much of a hurry.-New Nation.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-05-23

We are informed through the press that
tons of records now in the treasury de-
partment are to be destroyed as waste
paper. StraWs indicate which way the
wind blows; it must have dawned the
understanding of the Demorepublican party
at last that there is some danger that in
1896 the people may again obtain control OF
the government and some very embarrass-
ing questions be asked of our ancient Secre-
taries of the treasury, relating to doctored
accounts and mutilated records: unless
they can be forever Cancelled by deStruc-
| ton.
In the year 1869 the report for pensions
for 1876 are stated at &c. 291 61O4S, in the re-
| port the next year, 1870, this item is stated
to be $16.347, 621 "a, showing a forced balance
| of $7,056, 010S6 The treasury report for the
| total amount expended for pensions for
1870, made that year is $2S340, 20217; in the
report made four years later this had
been increased $62039.03. In the report of
1869 the war department is charged with
| $500, 298, 600 for the year 1868.
Two years later or In the report of 1871
the war department is charged with over
four million dollars more for the year 1856
| than it was in the report of 1869. The dis
crepancy of over two millions occurs in
two statements of the expenditures of the
Indiana department for 1868. A difference
of 5S,000,0 900 in the loan and treasury notes
for 1868 is found between the report for
that year, and the report of 1870 for the
year 1868. Those increases occur in every
instance where it was found necessary to
force a balance. The report for 1866 states
net revenue collections for 1864, S264 626 III CO.
Report for 1870 states net revenue collect
ed for 1864, 1852, 742, 35i.32, a shrinkage of
| 81, 1884, ALPS.
Who got this vast sum?
A senatorial investigating committee
| found from the testimony of one Witness
that from 1860 to 1857 100 alterations had
| been made in the books.
One witness had examined nine 1edgers
three from the registers office and six
| from the office of the secretary of the
treasury; 2527 erasures and apparent al
terations were found in those nine ledgers
These changes involved amounts ranging
| up to $2O,0OO0OO The erasures in the day
books and journals were so numerous they
were not computed.
Major Power, the chief clerk, testifies
no scratch should appear on the ledger
Mr. Scovile says he would not retain a
bookkeeper that made changes in the ledg-
erS
In addition to this whole leaves were torn
out.
The minority report of the investigating
committee concludes by saying: Forced
balances have been made amounting &C
cording to the official records, to over
$500 OOO OOO The fictitious warrants for
these amounts are not on file. Many of
them were no doubt merely drawn up as
part of the formula by which balances were
forced, but why should they disappear from
the archives of the treasury"
The people are in utter darkness as to
the financial condition of their country,
and will continue to be until a new set of
