The WEALTH MAKERS, published at

Howard Gibson, author of the famous
political and industrial song book, AR
MAGEDDoN, is devoted to the study of
the moral, social, economic, and poll
teal questions. 1t is holding up the di-

of justice. 1t is making plain the source,
in long established injustice, of the So

selfshness is Improbable, and to the
unselfish that organization is necessary.
1t urges first that the 7vealH makers
combine their voting strength and re-
cover the government from the control
of the 7Uealfh takers, the monopolists;
and it is breaking down every position

We doze and dream and let the world go
by
Shut up as is the oyster in his shell,
And fatten aimlessly upon the slime
And doze of things, until at last torn forth,
tnknowing how or why our fate is
wrought,
And then severed up, dainty dish for
death.
We fancy we work and move the world
Simply because pile up yearly gains.
Make certain profits and increase our store,
Cnmlndful of the many poor and weak
Who lose their labor, as they needs must
lose.
That we may win, and get, and have and
keep.
We shut ourselves within our narrow
And there count and lay aside our
gains
Our wives and little ones beside us there,
And al is placid, sweet, serene and calm
We pat ourselves upon our ample breasts,
And say: Behold! Observe what we have
done!
The rich reward of a most vrtuous life,
And all is ours, and we have earned it
WELL
Some careless foot has set the door aiar;
The cold wind rushes in and there without
Is labor, pale and weary, weak and worn.
His worried wife and starving children
there
And half inquiring, half rebellous eyes
Demand: who gets my share of this
worlds work?
How we crush accusing conscience
down,
Shut out the cold and that distressful
sight
Draw close to us our wives and little ones
And count with care our petty hoard again
Thankful that are not as other men,

17-year-old boy, had all encounter with
q deer the other day which he van

The boy saw the deer come out Of

the stone, striking the startled animal
in the side. After pursuing it for some

Written for This Paper.
A few weeks ago when Mr.. Gladstone
wrote his now famous letter to Nine.
Olga de NovikoH some newspaper
writer's went so far as to call him q
dotard. To-day the same document
is pronounced statesmanlike utter
ance. The venerable British sage has
demonstrated once more that he is far
ahead OF his contemporaries in intel
lectuality and in the advocacy of truly
humanitarian principles. Gladstone's
letter was written October %, when
the reports of the massacre in Armenia
were discussed in every capital of Eu-
rope. II see in my mind that wretched
sultan" wrote Mr.. Gladstone, "whom
God has given as curse to mankind,
waving his flag in triumph, and the
adversaries of his feet are England,
France and Russia. May God,
in His mercy, send speedy end to the
governing Turk and all his doings, as
said when could say, and sometimes
do. So say In my political decrep-
itude or DEATH"
Following this letter came reports
Of further cruel slaughter of Arme-

adding 1t to the kingdom Of Greece,
to which it really belongs. Germany
would not Interfere with such an ar
rangement, provided the kingdom Of
Roumania, which is under its special
protection, would be permitted to ny
main intact. Servia, at present an il /.
dependent kingdom, would continJ
to eNist--a buffer state between Austria
and Bulgaria. The latter principality
would remain independent nominally,
although it is, even now, virtually q
Russian province. Prince Ferdinand,
the cowardly clown who has for some
years been posing as the ruler of Bull
garia, would be onsted sans ceremony
and his place filled by Prince Charles
of Dennr *, who is soon to marry
Princes Maud of Wales. East Rou-
n,elia, now semi-independent Turkish
province, wnld be absorbed by Russia.
The divisiorSof European Turkey as
here outlined would please everybody
outside of the foreign offlcesat the differ
ent capitals of Europe; and when di-
vision is made finally it must be made
along the lines here outlined. The
objection that Russia is tyrannical
country and should therefore not Sc
cure Constantinople is not logical; for
whatever may be said against Muscovite
rule the officials of the car have always
protected the lives and property and
respected the religious prejudices of
peoples and tribes conquered in war.
Moreover, although primitive in some
respects, Russia is Christian country,
capable of he highest development.
On the other hand, Turkey will never
rise above its p. esent moral status, and
us long as it has Christian subjects will
murder and outrage them.
The present sultan, it is true, is a
weak ruler. But history has taught
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1895-12-20

That no sultan can defy the prejudices
of the palace ring, which is and always
will be anti-Christian; hence the Access
sion of new ruler would not change
the presentaspect of affairs.
The excellent map accompanying this
article shows Turkey in Europe and the
states which have been taken from her
within the memory of many readers.
The Turks who now rule over the rem
nants OF the Ottoman empire are of Tar
tar origin. They established them
selves on European soil in 1880. Sultan
Amurath l., called by some the greatest
general of the Ottoman tribe, estab-
lished his capital at Adrianople. There
the seat of government remained until
Mohanlmcd Ii. conquered Constantine
pie in 1853, and made it the capital of
the Turkish empire, under the name of
Stamboul. In AGO the same "pad-
ishah"-this is the Turkish title for sui
tan-conquered Greece. Soleiman H..
who reigned from 1919 to 1866, brought
the empire to the height of it's glory.
He captured half of Hungary, besieged
Vienna, the capital of Austria, and
formed plans for subjugating the whole
occident. He was opposed by the flower
of European chivalry, and returned
to Constantinoplc. After Soleiman's
death Turkeys position was almost i'm
pregnable, but near the close of the 10th
century the fabric began to totter. Sew
cr.ll expeditions sent against the Hun
ga11ans and Germans ended in disaster.
III the 18th century began the dismem-
berment of the thoroughly corrupt en-
pire. 1t lost province after province
until the name of 1.-The sick man of
Europe was applied to it by everybody.
The world has never had more wicked
and corrupt government than that
founded by the cruel Orkhan. Let all
Christian men and women pray that his
equally cruel successor, Abdul Hamid
H., will be the last of the tribe to occupy
a European throne.

Result Of Grewsome Experiment by .,
Alabama Undcrtaker,


Alabama Undcrtaker.
The hobby of Birmingham (Ala.)
undertaken has proved that the human
body can be preserved for an indefinite
period without infraction of sanitary
laws or offense to the senses. John d.
Miller is the man. He has on exhibition
in his establishment on Second avenue
the corpses, or rather mumm.es, of Lee
Harris and Abe Mitchell (colored), who
were hanged in Birmingham June
for murder. The body of Bill Scrog-
gins, a white murderer, who was
hanged in this city in February, 1894,
and reduced to the mummy state by
Mr.. Miller, is now one of the curiosities
at the Atlanta exposition, after having
made the circuit of the southern states
the past 2A years.
The treatment by which they were
reduced to the u nmy state is very
simple and can be successfully applied
by any undertaken who understands
embalming. An opening is made into
one + the large veins at the neck or
on N or leg and gallon of the
emA fluid in use by. all UNDER
taken serted. The fluid permeates
all the and arteries and dries out
the bod& chemical process. Three
gallons, all sold, are inserted in this
manner at intervals during the first
three weeks after death, and the body
is then left in a dry place and time does
the rest.
The bodies of Harris and Mitchell
are now almost dead black. The flesh
has dried up, but the skin is impact
and preserves the original contour of
their bodies in an elongated state, of
course, nevertheless sufficiently dis
tinct for identification by those who
knew them in life. The only percepti-
BILE odor is q kind of bacon smell. This
is caused by the oil which exudes from
the bodies and is caught in pan placed
beneath them. This oil is the last thing
| to disappear before the skin leaves the
body and the skeleton alone remains.

by the sultan, after he had agreed to
institute reforms urged by the repre-
sentatives of the six great European
powers.
War vessels by the score were sta
toned at the entrance of the Darda-
nelles, but when, in the opinion of the
civilized world, the time for action had
arrived the powers refused to do any,
thing more than to exchange few
more diplomatic notes. Austria pro-
posed plan for concerted action,
which was received coldly both at Lon
don and St. Petersburg, Lord Salisbury
going so fur as to mildly apologize for
the sultan in u speech delivered on No
vember 10.
Mr.. Gladstone's statement that Rus
STA is ut the feet of Turkey needs in
depreciation. The czar and his adj
,iscrs are not afraid of Turkey, but
they fear that any ill-advised move on
their part might give Austria and
Great Britain an advantage in the di-
Vision of the spoils. Twice within this
century Russia has called the porte
to account. The Crimean war was the
result of Mohammedan outrages. With
out the help which England and France
then gave to the Ottoman empire its
days in Europe and in the Christian
provinces of Asia Minor would have
been numbered. The Russo-Turkish
war Of 1877, which gave freedom to mil
lions of Christians from the Mussulman
yoke, would have ended Abdul Hamitls
reign in Europe had not the congress
of Berlin protected him. In both in
stances the powers who had the settle
ment of the oriental question in their
hands sided with the ''unspeakable
Turk" from purely selfish motives, and
it is no eXaggeration to say that the
blood of the murdered Armenian Chris
tians is on the hands of Disraeli and
those diplomats who aided him in de-
priving Russia of her just deserts IS
years ago.
And now, when the civilized states
of Europe have another opportunity to
advance the cause of Christianity and
good government, the same petty jeal-
ousy which has retarded progress in
the Balkan peninsula during the past
half century is at work and threatens
continuation Of Turkish power in
Constantinople and the Christian prov
inces of the Ottoman realm.
Austria, SO semi-ofticial statements
confirm, suggested the establishment of
independent governments in Salonica,
Macedonia, Albania and other Turkish
vilayets, OF provinces, in Europe,
the administration of all of them
to be under the supervision of
Russia, Austria, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Germany. But this plan,
equitable though it seems, did not
meet with favor anywhere. The fact
of the matter is, neither Russia nor
England desires the establishment of
semi-independent governments, both
wishing to secure possession of Con-
stantinople and the Dosphorus.
England might be induced to acqui-
esce in Russia's grab game, provided
she could secure the Turkish islands
in the archipelago and one or two
provinces in Asia Minor. In the event
of such settlement Austria would
claim Montenegro and Scutari, the pos
session of which provinces would di-
vide the control of the Adriatic sea be-
tween Italy and herself. Discussion
about Macedonia might be avoided by

A dinner, which was made the occa,-
sion for conference between the men,
bers of the life-saving service and Rev.
S. Edward Young, pastor of the Central
Presbyterian church, Newark, was
given the other afternoon. The OBJ
ject of the conference, as set forth
by Mr.. Young, was to frame bill for
the benefit of the surfmen, which it
is proposed to present to congress. The
bill will be known as the Life Savers
Release Bill" and will provide that all
the general officers, captains of sta
tions and snrfmen connected with the
department shall upon request be re-
tired on half pay after 90 years con-
secutive service. 1t further provides
that the widows of captains and of
surfmen who die in the service shall
receive, so long as they remain Wild
ows, pension equivalent to one-half
of the pay received by their husbands.
Orphan children of captains and surf
men shall receive collectively like
amount until they are 16 years of age.
Another clause of the bill provides
for chaplain for each life saving dis
| trict, or at least one chaplain to every
| 40 station houses. 1t also restores
to surfmen the five dollars additional
per month taken from them by the
congressional bill of 1894. The bill
