What the Veterans Find In Going Over

For the second time in the history Of
Marietta, Ga, Gen. Sherman's army
had taken undisputed possession. The
shady streets Of the little village were
dotted with groups Of blue uniformed
men, while red, white and blue bunting
waved over the verandas Of the Elm

who were overrunning Chickamauga
and doing the great march over again
through Altoona gap and run the EN-.
battled heights of Kenesaw had left
their guns and ammunition behind
them over the route they toiled, ragged
and footsore, thirty-onc years ago.

4 New EldoradO.

The newest of western mining camps, the Cochiti camp, in New Mexico, lies near the ancient Indian village of that name on the west bank of the Rio Grande, southwest from Santa Fe. The mines lie in lodges which cross at right angles the walls of three can yons, the Cochiti, the Pino and the Peralta Some of the ores already takerAout there are very rich, and, if the claims as to their abundance are verified in the continued working, Cochiti will prove one of the great gold-bearing districts of the United States. At the mouth of the Pino, the central canyon of the three, the hum- ming. brand-new town of AllertOn is situated. Two smaller town sites, Kent City and Eagle, have been laid off, about six miles to the east and to the west, respectively. A few frame and more log houses are interspersed among the tents which constitute the greater part of the residence and busi- ness structures of the camp, in which about two thousand people abide. Saloons and gambling and dance houses are plentiful and busy, and even the ''old timer" with memories of Dead wood and Leadville, admits that the Cochiti has generally the symptoms of booming camp.

Working Hours in Germany.

The hours of the German laborer are very long. frequently exceeding fifteen hours day, but there are certain regu- lations in factories that are rigidly car ried out in regard to women's work. All factories where women are em- ployed arc registered, and only eighty hours. 8 year overwork is allowed, Children under thirteen cannot work in factories, although the law is often evaded by making them work at home. Strange as it seems, the state is more nierciful to the children than the par ents; in some villages children three years old are kept busy threading needles. Thuringian watch-makers keep their children working from Sat urday noon until Sunday morning at two. After two hours sleep they must work again until church time.

The Minneapolis Tribune in
summing up the business stu
alton, and guessing at what con-
gress is likely todo says: There
fore there need to be no fears of
gold going to premium, or of
any slump in money values.
We thought that every moth
er's son knew that gold was now,
and had been for some time. at a
premium in this country. The
interest on the bond issued to
procure gold of late years is cer-
tainly nothing more or less than
a premium, and a good sized one
at that. If gold is not at a pre-
MUM why can't the government
get gold for greenbacks or other
kinds of money? Why have the
government given interest bear
ing bonds for it? No, Mr.. Trib-
une, gold is at a premium now.

Will they do it? Well, that re-

that we will advise the people to
vote the Il Republican ticket
next fall. That is fair,
isn't it? We mean just what we
say. But if the Republicans in
congress will not stir to help the

power to do so, do not ssblame us
for holding them to just account

faithless to their trust.

European money loans, and every
honest and industrious man
bankrupted will be charged up to
the Republican party and the Re-
publican party alone.
Not until they have passed
some measure of relief, and Pres
ident Cleveland has put a stone
in it's way, will the Republican
party be allowed to shield them
selves behind the chief execu-
tive.

gress face the music like men.

The statement that DR.. John

prise the people of Kandiyohi

say something nasty about the

Willmar tribune., 1895-12-17

President Cleveland shows in
his message that it is not tariff
reform, though he is known to be
an ardent free trader, but a "a
tional money system that this
country needs. He deserves
great credit for honestly facing
the question. We. must have a
rational permanent and stable
money system, be it based on
gold alone, or on both money me-
tails. Let the question be fairly
submitted to the people during
the next campaign. Let the out
come be considered a final SETTLE
ment of it, be the result what it
may. If it be gold monometal
lism let the debtor give his prop
erty to his creditor and begin
anew in life. Let us get out of
this internal purgatory of trying
to pay two dollars where we con-
tracted to pay one. Give the
whole country if necessary to
the bond holders and money
]oaners at once and let them see
what they will do with it. People
can make their living anyway,
and under all circumstances if
they confne their efforts to that.
But they cannot pay out all they
make in taxes and interest, and
make their living besides. Yes,
we welcome any settlement of
this vexed problem no matter
how unjust to the people, rather
than the continuance of the pres:
ent state of affairs. The people
must get out of debt, must stop
paying out in private and public
interest all they make. They
can never pay it on, the gold
standard. We are Of the opin
ion that the sooner they get out
of debt, no matter how, the bet
ter. >::.s. "-. -: G. j..

ARE REPUBLICANS GET
TING WEAK-KNEED9

Some Republicans are now try
ing to pretend that the Republic
an congress cannot do anything
because President Cleveland
might veto any bill they might
pass. This is about as silly and
pusilanimous a backdown as can
be conceived. tits time enough to
throw the blame on Cleveland for
standing in the way of reform
measures when he has actually
refused to allow any measure
presented to him to become law.
President Cleveland is now, in
our humble opinion, ready to al
low any measure to become law
that congress may pass. No mat
ter how much it may differ from
his personal views. He dare not
in the present condition, and with
the present temper of the people,
set himself against any measure,
no matter what, that congress
may pass for the relief of the ma
tion. And it wouldn It be healthy
for him to do so. But he cannot
pass laws. He cannot approve
or disapproVe any measure be-
fore such is passed by congress
and presented to him in due form.
Hence the whole responsibility
for measures of relief to the ma
tion lies upon the shoulders of
the Republican party in the ma
jority in both houses. The Pop
ulists in the senate have allowed
the Republicans to organize it
and appoint committees to suit
themselves. The Populists have
furthermore informed the Re-
publicans there that they will
help them to pass any reasonable
measure for relief. :. i.

they really want to, pass bill in.
