A PASSING TRAGEDY.
A Dreadful Picture.

In the harvest of suffering that we
have reaped from the recent cruel
storm nothing is so ripe with keen
pathos as the story of that young
mother in West Fifteenth street, New
York. Cold, hungry, clad in rags and
deserted by a recreant husband, she
looked into the pitiless future. Then,
with the strength of a will disordered
by distress, she gazed into the face of
of her appealing infant. Some kind
of abnormal heroism coming with the
agony of the moment made her kill
that child to save it from the help
lessness and hopelessness of her own
fate.
Let us be gracious enough to believe
that in the irresponsible impulse of
the moment the act which shattered
every maternal instinct nerved also
the poor heart to deed which looked
like rescue. She deliberately took
the life of the infant to save it from
the incomprehensib BILE cruelty of a life
which to her was made up only of
agony and insanity. Then she went
straight to her priest and confessed it
all. And presently the machinery of
Ia W OCBiIS w pOlICO al
rive, the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children bring up the rear.
The woman is assigned to police
cell. She is mute in her rags there in
prison. The slow processes Of human
justice, supplementing the swift meth
DDS of human injustice, encompass
her. Her destiny as mother, with all
it's tender hopes and precious heart
beats, is ended. But rigid, calm and
unresentful, one CHASTITY joy possesses
her:-the baby is safe from all.
No human tragedy can equal this, if
we could but look into that poor
mothers broken heart. The sailors
arriving frozen to the shrouds escaped
it. The mothers who went down on
the Elbe were spared it.-New York

Rather Rough But True.

The Review of Reviews thinks that
strong superlatives are seldom iusti-

would seem ill-advised TO declare that
the whole financial history of modern
nations furnishes no instance of inca
pacity so great. Of craftsmanship SO
utterly wanting, of common sense, so
pitiably addicted as our own country
has shown in thet past two years.
There has been frittered away the
highest public credit that any nation
had ever attained; and this change
has been wrought when no difficulties
whatever existed except the one diff
Guilty that the party in power could
not agree upon any policy. Whatever
President Cleveland and the New
York banking interests may think,
the people OF the United States do not
want longtime interest bearing bonds
issued in time of peace. The people
would unquestionably have preferred
an issue of short time treasury certifi-
Gates of one sort or another to meet
temporary exigencies, and prompt
levy of sufficient new taxes to bring
current revenues up to the point Of

The same good friend of the REPRE-

weary in we'll doing, but being moved
by an earnest desire to extend it's cir

TO send Is choice barred Plymouth

80 cents for them to the REPRESENT

used in paying for papers to be sent to
persons named by him.
Now send in orders for these splen-

them; indeed, is glad to give them in
order that others may be Helped
by the REPRESENTATIVE. Hear
him:-"I guarantee that the eggs will
be securely and carefully packed, and
that they are from as fine barred
Plymouth Rocks as there are in the

better. / have bred these birds care

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

Cure is taken internally, acting direct

Relentless Greed.

A pathetic story and true one, il
Illustrating the injustice of the present
laws which permit mortgages to hold
judgments for the amount they failed
to get out of the mortgaged property,
is thus told by the Topeka Daily Jour-
nal:
''Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McKernan
owned little house in Parkdale, and
the husband, who was a hard working
man, worked at whatever he could
find to do. Then the hard times came
and he found himself unable to secure
employment. Then he mortgaged his
home and his wife joined with him in
signing the mortgage. When he saw
joined the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curity and took out $1,000 insurance
on his life, making his wife the bene-
ficiary. She will at least have thai if
| am taken away said he.
'sTheir home was sold under mort
gage foreclos ure, and what SO often
happens took place in this instance.
Their place did not sell for enough to
satisfy the mortgage, and Judgment
for $780, the balance, was entered
upon the clerks docket in the district
court against Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
McKernan.
GAS times grew harder it became
more difficult for McKernan to sup
port his family, but he never failed to
pay the necessary assessments into his
lodge SO that his $4,000 insurance
would not be invalidated. He left To-
peka in December to look for work,
and in the early part of January died
in Kansas City. His body was brought
home and buried here.
1.-The assessment was made by the
lodge and the money has been collect
ed to pay the $1,000 insurance to his
wife. Yesterday an officer served
notice of punishment on w. B. Kirk
patrick, the treasurer of the lodge.
He was ordered not to pay the s., 900
to Mrs. McKernan until a hearing
could be had in the district court.
The garnishment is for $1,000 balance
on the mortgage which had taken the
home of the McKernans.
ssThat is why an Efforts being made
to deprive the wife of her hus stands
life insurance taken for the purpose of
protecting his family. The case will
be contested by the lodge.

Doing Good Work,

DR.. Christian Johnson, of New Lon

delphia Americans:
1--WE understand now that the gold
monometalistS with headquarters in
England, and the Rothschilds as gen.
crals-inchief, are attempting no less
than the reducing of this Western
country, and the whole United States
for that matter, to the condition of
abject servitude. But the game is up,
SO far as Minnesota is concerned. The
yeomanry, the great middle class, is
aroused to the situation. We have
seen the last gold Republican victory
in this state. And it wasn't Repub-
lican victory, either. 1t was gold
bug Demo Republican liquor-men and
holders victory over the unor-
ganized middle class of the people,

berating echo of a gathering storm,
cyclone, a regular twister, that will
tear up the mighty oak of old Gus toms
and clear the ground for new crop of
political economies founded on justice
and equity. We out here are in the
storm center now, and you down East

THE BALLOT IS THE REMEDY.
No Hope for Workingmen in Ameri-

1.-THE American Fabian.1

1.-THE American Fabian.1
The Brooklyn strike has failed. The
men struck against long hours and too
great speed, required of them by their
employers in violation of the law. See
ing no hope of winning by peaceable
means, and having no faith in Ameri-
can courts of justice, some of the strik-
ers resorted to violence. The police
and militia were called out and put
down the violence by reign of the
musket. Women were shot at for
opening windows and men killed for
the sin of standing on the roof; and
this is called free America. The strik-
ers carried the matter into the courts,
but with no chance of redress, al.
though most all New York and Brook
lyn papers declare that the strikers
have just causes of complaint against
their employers. Nothing will proba-
bly, come of it, in righting the work
ingmen's wrongs. Capitalist plus
musket will win. Workingmen are
learning fast that American justice
and American laws exist mainly to
keep workingmen down and to protect
property, while capitalists can disobey
the laws ad hbit,tm. 1t is we'll. Work
ingmen must learn that they can gain
nothing by appeal either to violence
or to legal proceedings. Their only
way out is to strike through the ballot
and overthrow the capitalistic owner
ship of this country. The sooner that
Workingmen realize that they are at
present almost wholly chattel slaves,
with few rights that American courts
respect, the better. The working
mans only chance is through war, and
the only war in which he can win is
the war of ballots. Let him fight it
out on that line. The workingman
who appeals to force hurts his cause;
the workingman who appeals to the
courts wastes his time.
