died here yesterday, aged 81. She was
the author Of "The Seven Financial
Conspiracies," which reached sale OF
100000 copies, largely in the west, and
Imperialism in America" with sale
Of 10000 copies. She was pioneer In
"Greenbackism," and has followed all
the different organizations Of kindred
nature through their history. At the
time of her death she was a member Of
the state populist committee and presi-
dent Of the department Of labor and
capital Of the National Woman's
Temperance Union.
Perhaps there Is nothing unusual in
the fact, but nevertheless we consider
it worthy Of note, that the man who had
most to do at the general convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal church was ].
Pierpont Morgan. He is also the gen.
tleman who advises President CleVe-
land when to issue bonds, and also pro
tects" the United States treasury at the
rate Of nine million dollars protect.
He is called the financial Bismarck"
the great central figure around which
the New York financial system re-
wolves. 1t is but natural that he
should also control a branch Of the
church of Mammon, since there is none
greater than he in the kingdom.
The great toady press makes quite a
sensation of the fact that President
Cleveland was guilty of "breach of
etiquette" on account of having neg
lected the time-honored custom Of being
present at the opening Of the supreme
court, so that those dignitaries might
exchange the usual batteries and con-
ventionalities. The president was busy
fishing and forgot that the supreme
court was entitled to his august pres
ence, according to all the traditions and
superstitions Of judicial formality. And
yet what should be expected Of a presl-
dent who has repudiated the principles
upon which his party was founded,
bonded his country to England, and
brought every department Of govern
ment into disgrace by debating its
whole policy. Why should Grover
trouble himself about mere Formally?
The great toady press makes quite
aesthetlcal and self-appointed guard
ians Of the race about the possible harm
Of the cycle in producing a stopped gen.
Grafton. I wonder that the great sym
pathy and sollcitude of this class has
not been agitated into excitement be-
fore, seeing that men bend over plows
and spades and shovels and picks for
eight and ten hours a day, and have
been for centuries. Why has not the
expression Of solicitude been spoken for
tailor, for shoemaker, and such callings,
whose whole lives have been in unnat-
ural curvature of the spinner No fear Of
these producing a generation Of stopped
or hump-backed citizens, Ell? If the
classes that live idle or uselessly active
lives will get OF the backs Of the men
who work, and allow them to have
more hours to stand erect, by doing
their share Of producing something, /
think the world can get along with the
Ills Of the wheel and be more erect
and upright-than 1t now is. There is
much far-fetched anguish in this sud-
den solicltude for the future genera
tion.-Appeal to Reason.
Apropos to the pugilistic contest agi-
tation, a preacher at Hot Springs pub
lished the following challenge for a
preaching match to be held in the am
phItheater Immediately after the pug
contest:
"As am now informed that the Cor
bett-Fitzslmmons glove contest is a
fixed thing for the 21st instant, would
suggest that at its close all the
preachers Of Hot Springs use the !
