The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1895-08-09

The production Of coal in the United
States during the ten years from 1883
to 1898 increased 60 per cent, accord
ing to statistics recently compiled. In
England the supply is stationary, while
in other principal European countries
it has increased during the same time
from 20 to IS per cent. 1t is stated that
the utilization Of coal represents a
greater surplus Of wealth than the ex-
portation of the same mount. It is in
teresting, therefore, to note that the
United States uses practically all the
coal mined within it's limits.

Calamity Rescues Three People and Gains
q Medal.
Few more gallant feats have ever
been performed by women than that of
Miss Evans, the daughter of DR.. Evans,
of Hythe, on the Southampton water,
says the London Standard. Walking
on the pier with a friend, she heard the
cry of three persons whose boat had
been capsized near the pier. Running
down the steps, she sprang into the
water and soon brought the one near
est, a woman, safely to the steps. Then
she swan off again to the others, a man
and a girl. Waiting her opportunity,
she managed to seize them both, and
supported them until rope was thrown
to her, and she was then able to get the
man to the pier. The girl was going
down for the third time, when Miss
Evans dived, brought her to the surface,
and took her also to the pier, thus saw
ing three lives. 1t is difficult to know
which is the more remarkable-the
courage displayed. or the skill with
which, hampered by her clothes, she
succeeded in avoiding the drowning
grip that is so often fatal to those who
attempt rescues, and so brought the
three persons, one after another, in
safety to the pier. It is a feat Of which
the best male swimmer, unhampered
by garments, would have every right
to feel most proud, and, executed as it
was by a young lady, was almost if
not quite without precedent in the an
nails of deeds requiring presence of
mind, skill and courage. 1t is indeed
extraordinary that a swimmer, how
ever strong, should be able to support
at once two drowning persons and to
avoid being caught in the grip of one
or other of them. Never was the Royal
Humane society's medal better de-
served, and there can be little doubt
that the act will receive the highest
mark of distinction at the society's dis
posal.

The following resolutions were

tion of Kansas City, No.. February %,
1895:
WHEREAS The National Reform Press asso-
citation recognizes in General Paul Van Der
WORT one OF the most earnest, efficient and en-
thusiastic organizers Of the reform forces in
the country, and we believe that the COM
rades associated with him in the work are
jealous Populists whose hearts are in this
great work therefore
Resolved, That the National Reform Press
association indorse the Industrial legion, and
pledges It's hearty cooperation in the move
ment.
With this Endorsement and the fact
that the national committee made the
legion, and its executive committee has
indorsed it three times and the full
committee twice, there should be a
union Of reform forces all along the
line into this compact political organi-
Zation, and all other plans should be
abandoned and discouraged by our
press and people.
We have a constituency of 5 millions

Labor Organizations.

press, yet in spite of this, and the fact
that they have been denounced as no
other institutions have ever been, the
combinations of laboring men seem to
thrive and grow more powerful from
day to day under such opposition.
This evidence of vitality is attribut-
able to the fact that labor organiza-
tlons are genuine product of the social
needs of our people, and are not only
indispensable as a protest against social
wrongs, but as q necessity to guard the
wsgeworkers from such injury as
sprin gs from the INSTRUMENTATION of
industrial government.
Labor organizations have been and
still are instruments of progress, and
through their agencies workingmen
have gained and will continue gaining
material advantages.
Labor organizations and their teach
ingS have developed powerful sympa-
thies among Workingmen and taught
them the lesson of self-saCrifce and the
value of concerted action as a means
of promoting their general good.
Labor organizations have given to
wageworkers better opportunity Of
knowing each other, of exchanging
views and opinions, and allowed them
to acquire in this way a knowledge Of
measures and conditions which tend to
either oppress or ameliorate.
Labor organizations have, by their
teaching and practices, infused our
workingmen with spirit Of independ-
ence and self respect that sugurs well
for the future of wage toilers under a
popular form or government such as
we have in this country; they have
brought from obscure places and forced
to the front rank of public teachers
many of the best men in the country,
men whose ascendency in the social
and political scale was but in keeping
with their qualities, and whose SER
vices are at all times desirable In the
interests of society and good govern.
ment.
Labor organizations, when operating
und er good laws and with q well dis
ciplined membership, not only promote
the interests Of workingmen and
women by tightening their daily tasks
and increasing their reward in dollars
and cents, but by reducing and uni
forming their hours of toll.
Labor organizations are the safe
guards which stand between legitimate
business enterprises and the specula-
tive schemes of unscrupulous capital
lists who are continually engaged in a
guerilla warfare against honest trade
and honest tradesmen.
The great fault of labor organiza-
tions in the past and at present is that
they have wrestled and are still wres-
ting with effects instead Of striking
for the abolition Of the cause which
leads to WI rong- doing and oppression.
Labor organizations, however, are
fast realizing the necessity of closer
sfiliation and heartier cooperation
with each other, they are beginning to

Napoleon arrived at Nice on the 18th

Napoleon arrived at Nice on the 18th
of June, and there rejoined his COM
pany. The Fourth Regiment, to which
be belonged, had been transferred to the
extreme southeast, as a protection against
the menaces of the world along that
threatened coast. The whole valley of
the Rhone was aflame with the Revolu-
ton. Horror on horror had been heaped
throughout France.
Napoleon became a French Republic
an soldier. He was a soldier Of fortune
in a sense more profound than that
phrase had ever before conveyed. 1t
must be confessed hat the hardships
and merciless conditions through which
he had passed, bearing with relentless
pressure on his tremendous mind-in-
famed as it was with unquenchable am
bitions-are better calculated to excite
the compassion and sympathy Of after
times than to kindle against him that
anger and consciousness which a mere
ly logical consideration of his shortcom-
ings, failures and ~unprincipled schemes
would suggest The Judgment is miti-
gated in contemplating such a character
emerging from obscurity, under the play
Of complex forces, into the foreground of
light and action.
The regiment Of Captain Bonaparte
constituted a part of the Army OF the
South, under command of General Car
teauX. 1t was the business of this divi-
sion of the French national forces to
operate for the recovery of Marseilles
and Toulon: for these cities were held
by the enemies of France. They had
fallen into the power of the English
fleets, assisted by the local loyalists.
The situation was striking. Patriotism
was aiame in both the cities; but the
representatives of the late monarchy,
protected by a foreign power, were not
yet down. 1t was out of Marseilles that,
in July of the preceding year, a band
of patriots, most unique and strong, had
marched to Paris, singing on the way
and to the very porches of the Tuileries,
that famous war-songw which Claude Jo-
seph Rouget de Lisle had given to the
French nation and to all free men.
So against Marseilles and Toulon, for
wrestling them from the English and
loyalists, the forces of General Carteaux
are, on the 9th of October, 1898, divid-
ed and sent. Captain Bonaparte's regi-
ment, with others, is directed against
Toulon. He is given command of a sec.
ton of the artillery. and is at last in
his element. Now for the first time he
is able to direct a battery against the
enemy, and to utter that tremendous
word, ''Firer' Here and now the cloud
of o~bscurity lifts from the life Of this
extraordinary character, revealing him
to the world as one of the greatest in
the annals of mankind.

mand. 1t was useless for the latter to
return to Valence, hoping to be rein
stated at such a court. He therefore
made all speed for Paris, where he
would have q hearing before the minis
Ger of war.
BY the summer of 1892 the roaring
winds of revolution were shaking not
only the pinnacles, but the very founda-
tions, of French civilization. The old
order was already in ruins. Paris was
III an uproar. The King and court had
been obliged in the preceding autumn
to leave Versailles and come, in the
most remarkable procession in history,
to Paris. The starving populace had
gone out to the royal palace, invaded it,
hooted around it, drawn forth the King
and Queen and their i'll fated scion, and
had hurried them off into the city, dane
ing about them Ell route and shouting
in wild POPULARITY that now they had
the baker and the bakeress and the bak-
er's little boy! All this wreck of royal
ty and nobility heaped itself up in the
Tuileries, out of which the ancient
monarchy of the Bourbons looked with
wan face at the weltering world.
1t was to this Paris that Napoleon
came, with a billet of dismissal and Pc
tition for reinstatement. One war min
lister after another, to the number Of
six, had now filled the important office
before which Bonaparte stood a petit
TONER for rehearing. The new minister
was a Nationalist and f%avorably dispos-
cd towards the Corsican adventurer; for
the latter came with a haggard revolu-
tionary face and long hair hanging to
his shoulders. There was delay in the
office; and Bonaparte, with his former
achoolfellow and future secretary, Bour-
rienne, was we'll nigh starving in the
streets.
To add to his distress, the Royal
School for Girls at Saint Cyr, under the
immediate patronage of Marie Antoi-
nette, went to pieces, like other exist
ing things; and Elise Bonaparto was
turned adrift with no friend in France
except her sullen brother. To the credit
of the latter, he chung to his sister, and

mission was dated back to the preceding
February.
This was a great victory for the man
of destiny. He IA Captain Bonaparte.
Taking Elise by the hand, he sped away
to Lyons and Valence-where he paused
to be seen in his new regimentals-and

hearts OF men had done their perfect
work. Wal was Oh with Prussia and
Austria and England. The emigrant no.
bility across the borders was in league
with the enemies of the French nation.
That nation had sprung up, an infuri-
Eted tigress, and woe be henceforth to
traitors! There was intrigue between
the dying court and the Emigres beyond
the Rhine. 1t was now or never. The
Terror came on; chateaus were flaming;
the streets were slippery with red; the
axe went always up and down in the
Place de la Revolution; the day Of death
and determination vas at hand.
This condition of affairs in the ex-
tinct kingdom of the Bourbons brought
the revolutionists of France and those
of Corsica into closest sympathy; for
Jacobinism is universal. 1t is simply
humanity in Instruction. Whether it
be in France, i'll Germany, in Italy, in
the Mediterranean islands, in England,
or the pa~rty-cursed cities of the United
States, it is all the same. The only ques-
tion with Bonaparte now was whether
his destiny might be better attained by
the leadership of the Corsican revolu-
tionists or by allying himself with the
Jacobins of Paris.
With skillful duplicity he did both.
Corsica, on his return, was in a fer
ment. The popular party was at Il with
the French democrats. The National
Convention passed a decree that the ex-
lied Corsican patriots might return.
Paoli went home by way of Paris, where
he was recognized as a hero and made
acknowledgement and military govern
Or of his native island. France was di-
vided into departments, and Corsica
was declared to be one of these.
Meanwhile, the world was turned
upside down, The Convention had taken
the autumnal equinox of 1892 as the
date of a new era for mankind. 1t was
an epoch of universal abolition. The
marvellous thing was that while the old
