Chattel slavery could have been leg
islated out of existence had it not been
for the intolerance of the slave power
Not by proclaiming them free without
remunerating their owners, but by
purchasing them, and forever prohibit
ing slavery in the future This would
have been much cheaper than the war.
But the Slave Power in its arrogance
would not permit 1t. The policy was
compromise. 1t secured the bred Scott
decision. 1t hung John Brown. But
all these did not make 1t right. The
party leaders refused to settle It by
legislation and the people rose up and
shot 1t to death. We have in this
country today system of debt slavery.
It's burdens are greater than chattel
slavery imposed upon the blacks.
The people have been trying to settle
1t by legislation. The creditors. the
owners Of labor, are arrogant-insolent
They want to extend their dominion
over the people as the slave power did
over the blacks. The people are willing
to pay their debts, but they insist on
the right to pay in the dollar of the
contract. The creditors insist on pay
ment in dollar of greater value. They
bribe the peoples representatives. the
executive and the courts. The income
tax decision is almost parallel to the
Dred Scott decision. The court of last
resort has declared for plutocratic
wealth. The people have lost conf
dence in government and respect for
law. They are approaching the temper
of revolution. Debt slavery must go.
II it is not legislated out of existence
that is. II the people are not given an
opportunity to pay their debts in the
dollar Of the contract, they will shoot
debt slavery to death as they DESTROYED
chattel slavery. Nothing is ever set
tied until 1t is settled right, and debt
slavery is no more right than was chat
tel slavery. ae

5IANGLE REGARDING LANDS.
Land Commissioner Lockhart
Tries His Hand at Un-
raveling.
THE RELEASING OF FILINGS
Not Carried On by the Com
missionep--HaS No Such
Authority.
Special to the Globe.


PIERRE, S. D., April 4. = The
Yankton reservation matter and the
connection of Land Commissioner
! Lockhart thereto are creating a
great deal of comment in the vicin-
ity of the reservation. Your corre-
:spondent called upon Commissioner
Lockhart today for a correct state
ment; of the facts. One article sent
out states positively that the COM
missioner has released filings of
state lands on the Sioux reServa-
ition and in the northern part of the
state to file on the Yankton lands,
and also that the officials at the
Mitchell land office had refused to
accept the filing fees for the state
lands, and that the state filings are
not recorded in the Mitchell office.
In reply to these assertions, Mr..
Lockhart states that he has released
no filings in any part of the state to
file on Yankton lands, as he has no
authority for such action, the bill
introduced to give him such au-
thority having failed to pass the
Z legislature. And as to releasing
filings on the Sioux reservation, the
29ffice has never made filing on that
reservation, and has nothing to re-
lease, even if it SO desires. The re-
ceiver of the Mitchell land office did
show little reluctance in accept
ing the fees presented, but did ac-
cept them, and agreed to make an
early report Of them to the depart
: ment. In relation to the fact Of the
strong objection of that portion of
the state to filings on the Yankton
reservation, Commissioner Lockhart
thinks that, as the southeastern
part of the state gets nearly all the
benefits of the endowment lands. it
should not object to allowing a share
: of such lands to be taken in that
portion of the state, the Yankton fiI-
ings being the only ones south Of
washington Hills, and the people of
the south, who took up all the land
before the state was given it's grant.
are now asking that the people of
the state furnish the lands for which
the southern portion is to reap the
benefit. The $4,000 acres in the
Yankton reservation will not take
from them anything near like their
just proportion, as the lands are
located by the office.

RIVAL OF THE BELL.
NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY SAID
TO BE FORMING.
CLARKS0N AS PRESIDENT
1t Is Rumored, and PiIIsbury One
of the Main Movers in the Or
ganiZatiOn.

CHICAGO, April 4.-The Times-Her-
aid says: What the Bell Telephone
company has been fearing since its
patents expired has now assumed defin-
ite shape. This is nothing more or
less than that competing concern is
in process of construction the mission
of which will be to fight the Bell people
wherever they operate. According to
the reports, telephone company has
been formed in New York. backed by
number of wealthy men. The capital
stock of the company is given as $780,
00O,0C0. The hackers said to be con-
nected with this new enterprise are:
The Parrot company, of New York;
the Standard Oil company, Searles, of
the sugar trust; George Crocker. the
San Francisco millionaire; Pillsbury,
the Minneapolis flour man, and ]. S.
Clarkson. About week ago whispers
of rival of the Bell company were
heard in San Francisco they were
echoed in Wall street, and now they
swell to pretty authentic assurance
that such a stupendouS enterprise has
been planned.
BADGERS INTERESTED.
APPLETON, Wis, April 4.-Concern-
ing the new telephone company men
toned in today's Associated Press dis
patches as having been organized in
New York with a capital of $160, 600, 900
to fight the Bell company, something
is known here. For several weeks it
has been known in some circles that
such a project was maturing, and that
several heavy capitalists of the Fox
River valley were interested in it,
This district will be composed of the
states of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa,
and the president will be Gen. j. S.
Clarkson, eX-chairman of the Repub
lean national committee. The full de-
tails of the project will be given out
very shortly, it is understood, and
then it will be found that capital from
the Fox river waller is very prominent
in the company controlling the dis
trict of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.
NEW YORK, April 4.-There is: no
doubt that a new telephone company,
to be known as the Standard Telephone
company, is now being organized in
this city. Several of those whose
names have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the project declare, however,
that they have no interest in it what
ever. - So sesf,s
1t is understood that Thurlow Weed
Barnes is to be president of the new
concern, and it is known that Henry
Merz, of the firm of Heller & Merz
company, of 55 Maiden Lane, is inter
ested in the organization, but in what
capacity he refused to say.
Merchants have been asked to pledge
their support to the new concern and
to take it's service.
