conspirRtors would soon discontinue
their raid upon the treasury. BY
refusing TO exercise this discretion
the president and secretary make
themselves as much parties to che
conspiracy against the people as are
the men who are gathering lnithe
treasury notes and using them as the
instrument Of their scheme of plum
der.
But, say these gold-bug pirates,
ths notes must be redeemed in gold
in order to MAINTAIN a parity" Of
gold and silver. They have such an
inherent love for silver that they
avail themselves of every possible
opportunity to discriminate against
il under the hypocriticsl pretense Of
maintaining its parity with gold; and
this treason to the people and to the
nation passes, in these degenerate
days, for craftsmanship.
Do the American people realize
that they are being deliberately sold

and dumb that they cannot UNDER
stand the signs Of the timesG viii

ANOTHER ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR STEAL.

Another 65 million dollar issue
Of government bonds has been nego-
tisted by the conspirat ors now in
control Of the affairs Of this nation.
Do the American p eople realize what
is being done? What has the gov
ernment to show for the 100 million
dollars OF bonds already isguedi
Let the fat conspirstor himself an
swer. In his special message to
congress of January %, he says.
Since the 17th day Of January, 1894, our
bonded interest bearing debt has been in
creased 100 million dollars for the purpose
Of obtaining gold 70 Eeplenish' our coin re-
serve. Two issues we're made, amounting
to so millions each-one in January and
the other in November. As q result Of the
frSt issue there was realized something
mere than 80 millions Of dollars in
gold. Between that issue and the succeed
ing one in November, comprising period
Of about ten months, nearly 103 millions Of
dollars in gold were drawn from the treas
ury. This made the second issue neceS-
sary and upon that more than IS millions
in gold was again realized. Between the
date Of the second issue and the present
time, covering period Of only about two
months, more than SO millions Of dollars
in gold were expended IOIthOt1 any cGncclLa-
ton Of government obligations, or IN any per-
Rdnent iOGy benefttng our people or trnprOU-
ing our pCctVntaTy situation.
Everybody, Of course, understands
how this gold is withdrawn from the
treasury, by the so-called redemp.
ton Of treasury notes. It Is the the
ory of the consplrstors that the green
backs constitute a part of the ma.
tionsl debt which must be "re-
deemed" and every administration of
both the republican and democratic
parties has held that they must be
redeemed in gold. It is needless to
say that there is no law requiring
this. Accepting the theory that it is
necessary to redeem them il is still |
discretionary with the secretary Of

A POOR SOURCE TO APPLY FOR IN
FORMATION.

A Capital correspondent asks this
question:
Would you kindly inform me how many
millionaireS there are in our state, In No"
braska and in the United States.
This question the Capital makes
the subject of a few remarks in the
issue Of February g. After stating
the very profound proposition that q
man who has a million dollars worth
of property and more than a million
dollars worth Of debts, and whose
liabilities therefore exceed his assets,
is not a millionaire but psuper, the
Capital asks the question, "Whst is
q millionaire" To this question the
following answer is given:
The Capital oonfesseS for its own part
that:it has no definite idea. The popular
conception Of a millionaire Is probably "s
riOh man ," but "a rich man" is very elas-
tic term, depending for It's meaning on the
circumstances Of the person using IL.
Now, il that correspondent has not
secured a fund of information in an
sWer TO his inquiry it is not his fault.
The information as we'll as the term,
"a rich man." is very elastic and the
inquirer can stretch it TO suit his
necessities.

cuse. Let us examine il q little.
According to your own admission
that all rents and taxes enter into
che cost of produt tion and distribu-
tion, these very rents are now paid
by the people who consume the
goods manufactured or sold upon
the lots; and probably the people
who receive the benefits of the
schools supported by this fund are
the very people who first pay the
money to the occupants Of the lots
in the way of added cost of goods.
If the occupants of the lots were re-
leased from this rent it would be
eliminated from the present cost of
production and distribution and the
people would keep the money in
their own pockets. Again, you very
well know that no increase in the
rate of postage could be necessary
from such a change. You very well
know that if the frsnking privilege
were abolished and if only fair rates
were paid for transporting the mails
the postage could be cheapened and
still yield q revenue If need be in ex-
cess of the cost of the service. You
very well know that by government
ownershlp,of railroads and telegrsphs
and the elimination of the vast prof
it's that now go to private individ-
uRls, passenger and freight rates
could be cheapsned and a better SER
vice be rendered at the same time.
Ycu very well know that by munici-
pal ownership Of water, gas and
electric plants, water and light would
be chespened and a better service
secured at the same time. You very
we'll know that no increase of pres.
ent rates for these services would be
necesssryto compensate for the loss
of this half million dollars to the
Chicago school fund.
But let us look a little further.
Would the single-tax leave this rent
still to the public school fund9 II
would give it to the public, it is true,
but not specially to the school fund.
But it would do more. By taking
as q tax upon land values all the
margin of profit above the yield of
the poorest land in use, it would re-
duce not only the owners of these
"fuest buildings upon the eartb,"
but the people whose children now
enjoy the school privileges paid for
by existing rentals, to q level with
the occupant of the poorest land. 1t
might make fat living for the public
officials who would have the spend
ing of this money, but it would leave

gressions the Journal sees but one
side Of the difficulty. II says:

In considering the responsibility Of the
companies for suSpending traffic, the strike
which brought about Che suspension has no
part whatever The result would have been
the same If the mobs had been the result Of
any other cause. The constitution and
laws Of New York as well as those Of other
states, promise protection 30 property. Il
matters not whether the property belongs
TO individuals or corporations, il is 40
Quired and held under q guarantee Of pro-
teCtiOn from violence Of individuals or
m0bs.
The trolley companies were unable TO
operate their cars because the mobs inter-
posed insurmountable obstacles TO their
doing so. 10 is nothing TO the courts what
object the turbulent persons had in their
violent interference. II they had demanded
money, an excursion trip TO Chicago, or
free tickets to a dime museum, IL would
have been just as binding upon the COM
panies to aOoeds TO ths arbitrary claim Rs
to compromise with the strikers, 80 FAR as
law 10 concerned, and not whit more.
A more unfair and one-sided state
ment of the case could not have been
invented by the paid attorney Of the
corporations than the above. It en-
tirely ignores the right to live of the
employees of the companies. The
right to live implies the right to
enough food to sustain life and
enough clothing and fuel to keep the
body from freezing. The Journal
proceeds upon the hypothesis that
the demand of employees of sufficient
pay to secure these things is just as
unreasonable ss would be q demand
for an exclusion to Chicago or free
tickets to a dime museum; and that
the corporations are equally justif-
able in denying the one as they.
would be in denying the other.
Again, the Journal says "the COM
panies were unable to operate their
cars because the mobs interposed in
surmountable obstacles to their doing
80" This is not true. The COM
psnles had the entire police force of
the city of Brooklyn and 5000 militia
under pay of the state to protect
them from interference by mobs, and
Judge Gsynor distinctly stated in
his decision that they were fully pro-
tected. They failed to operate their
cars because they obstinsntly re-
fused to pay such wages as were nee
esssry to secure competent men; and
for no other cause. They were de-
termined not to start their cars until |
they could supply the places of the
old employees from the idle horde of
men who could be induced |
to work for time for smaller wages,
and who, for the sake of employment, |
would submit temporarily to greater
lndignities than the men whom they |
would displaoe. These had to be in
structed in the duties they were to
perform, and all this required time.
Judge Gsynor very obligingly sf-
forded the necessary time by issuing
his writ allowing twenty days for the
companies to start their cars or show
cause for their failure to do so.

] W. E Felix, the young man from
Hartstein, who has gained considerable
unenviable notoriety for several esca-
pades of late, is now in Jail at Tacoma
for one of his offenses. that of drawing
a check on a bank in which he never
had funds He was placed under bonds,
and has been enjoying his liberty
Recently Henry Gelhart, one of his
bondsmen became suspicious, and with
drew from the bond, which of course.
necessitated calling in Felix's person
as security for his being at the appoint
ed place for trial. Deputy Sheriff A.
M. Dufield has been on the hunt for
Felix, and locating him at the home of
his parents, at Hartstein, made the ar
rest last Saturday morning, and took
the young man to Tacoma and the
Jail.
Felix proves to be quite gay Lotha-
rio for while enjoying his liberty he
made the acquaintance of a woman at
Burton, Vashon Island, and they con-
cluded to go on tour, albeit their peri
cd of acquaintance had been rather
brief. After spending a week of gay
life in Seattle, Felix brought the wom-
an to Hartstein, where she was made
known as his bride. She proved to be
an already married woman, however,
the wife of Capt. Chauncey Wiman,
and somewhat known in Shelton
IN the past. Chauncey claims to
mourn the loss of about $500, which
his wife took with her, but this,
Felix denies, giving it in his opinion
that the Capt. meyer had that much
money in his possession at any one
period in his life. Anyhow no money
was found an the couple, when they
were captured fagrante delicto on the
Island.
Felix will be remembered as the
author of the trouble in the Blake
family on the Island, which wound I'D
by the aggrieved husband securing
divorce. Tacoma papers say that the
Capt and his wife have since made I'D.
AS if the troubles already before
Felix wouldn't settle the question of
his liberty for some time to come, now
comes Harry Dean, postmaster of
Hartstein, who charges the gay young
man with obtaining money under
false pretenses, by selling land which
he did not own and forging the deed.
AS briefly mentioned some weeks ago,
Felix bargained and sold property,
owned by Robt. E.. Gellhart, to Mr..
Dean, securing part of the purchase
price down. However, some months
before, as a retainer probably, he
nortgaged the same piece to Marshall
K. Shell of Tacoma, for 500, although
he never had title to it. Between all
this medley of wrong doing, chances
seem good for Felix to sojourn at
Walla Wa11a for a time this winter
He has a wife and children in Iowa,
where he is said to have served two
years in the penitentiary for robbery,
before his parents moved to this state.
He seems to be quite knave as well
as ''lady-killer.
