it is working for the dear people by

Mrs. Leases Book.

For four years Mrs. Mary Ellen
Lease has been Dragging about the
book she proposed to write. 1t has
been heralded up and down the length
and breadth Of Populism as second
revelation which was to opeu to the
world a wonderful panacea for Its ills.
The book is issued. 1t comes out in
paper covers with S75 pages Of Mrs
Leases philosophy, the essence Of her
doctrine on the questions Of today.
There is nothing modest about it.
not even the title, which is "The
Problem Of Civilization Solved. "
Naturally it attracts. If there is any
one thing the world has been search
ing for during nineteen or twenty
centuries it is the solution OF the
problem Of civilization. The matter
is disposed Of in an easy oif-hand
manner that indicates that Mrs. Lease
wrote the book one evening after
supper. She says that over produce
ton is the cause Of pauperism with
its attendant evils-disease, dishon-
esty and anarchy. A false financial
and industrial system when they get
decentralization which drives them
over-make our swarms Of immi-
grants anarchists and paupers.
The cure for all is simple and easily
wrought. Colombo the waste lands
of the tropics with Caucasian planters
and negro and oriental tillers of the
soil as proprietors and tenants by oc-
cupancy.
Becoming more definite she states'
"Africa and Latin America could fur
nish homes Of 200 acres each to 50,-
100000 families OF the oyercrowded,
highly intelligent, but despairlng
members of the Caucasian race in
Europe and America; while China,
India and Japan, from out their starry
ing millions, would gladly furnish
twice as many tenants, whose saliva
ton might be secured and lives glad
dened by a transferral to the ease and
Astounding plenty to be found in the
vast basins of the Amazon, Orinoco
and Congo"
This, repeated with almost no mod
iiication, forms the burden Of the
book. Statistics are given with read
mess. "The corn crop of the United
States in 1892 was 1884 900
bushels; the wheat crop was over
59O,OOO,OOO; enough to make starva-
ton impossible; enough to enable the
United States to become the benefac-
tor Of the starving hordes Of the
world. Enough, with equitable dis
tribution, to enthrone smiling plenty
in every home, and crown the toiler
king Of the wealth his honest hands
have won."
But we have not learned the equit-
able distribution Of wealth-there we
have failed to solve "the riddle Of the
Sphinx"
An account of the resources Of trop-
ical America and Africa, suggestions
as to how the civilization should be
effected, and inducements to every
class to help in the work make up the
volume, which Is about as worthless
to the solution of the
problem Of civilization as Mrs. Leases

That the managers of the syndicate

many callers TO offer their support.
He will start for his home 1T Beaver to-

There was "A rumOr this afternoon that

The Quay people have served notice
on the Hastings combine that they

District Attorney Shaffer of Delaware

refused on account of his youth and
