We Object.

Gen. Gordon of the Confederate Vet
erans' association proposes that an Or
ganized effort be made by the old
soldiers of the south, assisted by the
veterans of the north, to have congress
buy the grounds around Vicksburg and
convert it into national park. That
is scheme that fits Gen. Gordon.
Certainly; buy all the land about Vicks-
burg! Buy the city of Vicksburg, and
the rivers and hills, convert everything
adjoining into park. When this is
done buy the ground on which every
battle during the war was fought, and
convert them all into national parks.
There is plenty Of money to make
parks and pleasure grounds! If there
is not money enough, sell bonds and
buy more money from the Jerusalem
robbers and pirates! Grand scheme
for a grand man!-Southern Mercury.

Poverty is Dangerous.

Poverty is the most dangerous foe to
organized society because it is the most
prolific source of crime. Were crime
extinguished human society would be
a very paradise. Whatever tends to
extirpate poverty in an increased de-
gree tends to lessen crime. The duty
of society, then, is surely to use every
endeavor to eradicate poverty and
bring about a social millenium.-Na-
tional Watchman.

KensingtOn, Pa, went before the JUS

votes cast for Dawson, candidate for
state treasurer. New Kensington is q

The staff correspondent of the Dal-
Gal. News at Austin writes as follows
anent the question of state tax col
lectiOns:
1.-The circular of the comptroller re-
Gently issued requiring tax collectors
to distrain personal property for taxes
on the same and to advertise and sell
as the law requires, is simply an act Of
official duty. 1t will bring the taA
collecting authority into conflict with
the lower strata of contributing citi-
zenship, resulting probably in legisla-
ton abolishing the discrimination in
favor of the landlords and land mOnop-
olists established by the new law.
The lower strata OutvOtes, away yon-
der, all the other classes of taxpayers
and will force an equitable method.
Tax collectors must proceed to round
up the live stock and other small hold
ings of the tenants, and small farmers,
and the extra apparel disclosed by
clothes lines in back yards of the urban
population. These things are in view
and easily levied upon. So also the
grocer, butcher. clothier and all the
tribe of city renters, and even the
washerwOmen, tamale producers and
cotton pickers must have some little
personal property on which to levy.
This levy is ordered Immediately upon
failure to settle by Jan. l, 1896.
The land owner, however, is given
until June to pay up. l know one
party who has sixty tenants on his
lands in this county. He gets IS per
acre and has his personal property in
the shape of chattel mortgages to Sc
cure his rents. The collector can't
levy on the mortgages, as the notes are
not in the county. But if the tenant
has an extra hog, OK, wagon or other
articles not exempt from taxation a
deputy collector is required to seize
and sell it. The city renter has as a rule
plenty of personal estate subject to tax
levy, but his landlord is fixed up so as
to postpone his tax payments six
months and at very small cost to defer
settlement year. Not one business
house out of twenty in the cities is Oc-
cupied by the owner. The owner ol
the one so occupied is subject on JAN
uary to have his goods and wares
levied upon to pay the tax
on his house and lot; the
owners of the other nineteen are
exempt from unpleasant reminders
until June and may get further
credit for six more months by paymen,
of about $2.75 penalties. Railroad
lands and those held by the ''furriners'
and other cormora9t monopolists are
exempted from collectors ievies, but
the Texas tenants or stockraisers rent.
ing the lands are subject to the sum-
mary process"
This is another piece of Democratic
class or botch legislation, and in either
event doubtless was Intentional. In
these latter years the poor man has re-
ceived no consideration at the hands ol
lawmakers. Nearly all law, state and
federal, is directly in favor of the rich.
Heretofore the old party leaders have
been secure in Office, as the people
voted their prejudices at all hazard
and any cost. But the time is near at
hand when a change will come through
the Peoples party, and then all men
will be placed again on an equality be-
fore the law. Selah!

Partly True.

The deficiency in the revenues is due
to the multiplying of the income tax by
the supreme court. The new tariff
and the remaining internal taxes are
yielding all the revenue that was ex-
pected from them. The income tax
would have yielded $50, 200, 900
more, and this is just about the amount
of the deficit.-New York World.

industrial prosperity can be be relied on, the present is season of high baro- meter and clearing eather. Every in- dication points to the fact that the de- pression is over. Iron industries are booming, railroads are handling in- creased loads of passengers and freight and the government is selling large and growing lots of stamps. They all show far more business than at the corres- bonding period last year, and each month of the current year has added it's better features over the preceding. Facts like these furnish an intelligent basis for affirming that the hard times are rapidly disappearing,

abetted the employment of convict labor. This is notably the case in North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, and it appears that Georgia must be added to the list. Also it seems that Arizona must suffer a similar disgrace. It is proposed by the board of control to supplant honest labor at the various institutions with convict labor. It is even said that Secretary McCord has employed prison labor in the construction of house for himself, thereby depriving honest men of em- ployment justly due them and in this case even the territory may suffer, as the asylum has been converted into a boarding house for the accommodation of the convicts employed upon Secretary McCord's house.
 Organized labor throughout the coun- try can do no better than to inaugurate crusade against the convict labor sys- tenn. No man should be supported for election to state or territorial legisla. ture or any other office that will not frankly and positively pledge himself to oppose any policy which makes the convict the competitor of the honest workingman.

AN OLD TIMER GONE.
Jim Bones of Prescott Is AC.
 CidentalIy Killed.
The Unfortunate Man Killed By Falling Earth In
 Mine.

From the Prescott Journal-Miner.
 Another one of the old timers passe 8 away. "Jim" Bones, as he was fam iliarly known, was accidentally killed in the Manhattan mine. at the foot of Mount Union, 12 miles south of Pres. colt, by the tunnel caving in and a boulder striking him on the top of the head. He and his partner Mir. F. Fletcher, were working the above prop erty, and when the cave took place, both were in the tunnel, MT. Fletcher being some distance away. The crum- bling of the earth, occasioned no un- usual sound, and it was some five minutes afterwards when Mr. Fletcher went to where tbe rock and dirt had fallen. Mir. Bones was found dead by him, his limbs being partially covered, and a boulder weighing probably 100 pounds, besides hlm. He was bleeding i profusely from the nose, eyes and ears, and, it Is supposed, that in falling the rock struck Mir. Bones on the side of the head after he had fallen to the ground overcome by the weight of the loose dirt.
 The deceased has for 6 quarter of 8 century been resident of this locality, and among all sincere regret is ex- pressed over his sad ending. He leaves wife and several children.
 F. s. Williams, in company with Un- dertaker Logan left today to bring the body to this city, where the funeral will take place. MT. Williams also brought the first news of the accident. which has shocked everyone to whom he was known, being prominent old timer and closely identified with this section.

CONVICT LABOR.

The Electrical Workers are not to be blamed for refusing to take part in or countenance the Atlanta Exposition on account of the fact that a great deal of the work in the buildings has been done by convict labor. It would be eminent ly proper if all labor organizations were to take the same stand.
 Convict labor is standing insult and injury to all honest labor. It places the respectable workingmaE in compe- titlon with the felon. It depresses wages and works harm in many ways. The hard labor which convicts perform by compulsion should be something that will not take the bread out of the mouths of honest, industrious working men and their families. 2
 The employment of convict labor out side of the prisons is more common in the South than in any part of the Union. In this fact may be found one reason why the cause of organized labor has not fourished more in that section. Unfortunately the legislatures of many of the Southern states have, from motives of false economy, aided and

THE PARTY OF PROSPERITY
workingman

THE PARTY OF PROSPERITY.
 The election of Republican House last fall by the American people sealed the doom of the present Democratic party. The people have tried the Dem- ocratic party and found them wanting, and have again elected the Republican party to power in congress. That one act put stop to the Democrats from doing any more mischief by mistaken legislation. From the moment that the announcement was made that Repub- lican House had been elected, trade commenced to revive and it has kept on increasing until now the improvement is felt in every city and state in the Union. Labo1ing men are finding em- ployment, wages are being increased, and capitalists are making investments.
 This is a wonderful country. The people became dissatisfied with the Re publican party and elected the Demo- cratic to power. and in less than two years the results were as follows: banks everywhere breaking, factories closing, thousands of men thrown out of em- ployment, real estate, bank stock, rail- road stock. silver mines, and factories had no market value. In fact, nothing could be sold, not even United States bonds. Our gold was gone and we had to pay big premium to an English syndicate for gold to keep the Nation from becoming bankrupt.
 The people saw their mistake and at the last election elected a Republican House, and what are the results? Real estate is in demand, men are buying farms and homes, bank stock has a value, railroads are being taken out oi receivers, silver mines are finding pur. chasers and factories are beginning to be profitable. Things have changed confidence is being restored, we are al the beginning of better times, and al that is needed now to give the country the confidence it has had since the wal is to elect Republican president. Thi | l. ll the country will enter upon period O prosperity such as she has never seer before.

BUSINESS BAROMETERS.

Certain observers of the rise and fall of the business tides have been able to agree upon two or three standard mea- sures for ascertaining the strength or weakness of commercial and trade movements and thereby determining with a great degree of accuracy, the presence or want of general prosperity and activity in the country.
 Chief among these agencies, or baro- meters of business, is the iron industry. It enters so largely into the ramifca- tions of trade that it is regarded as a sure measure of the extent of activity in shop and factory, in building and in the development of sportation-all of which indicate commercial activity or depression in proportion as they are active or dull. The railroads represent another barometer, their large or small business as the case may be constitut- ing fair index to the volume of the trade in the communities through which they pass. To these another has been added-the stamp sales of the government. They are supposed to re- present increased business correspond ence. circulars, advertising and all the added work of commercial offices dur. ing an active season.
