WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Bishop Doane (EpiscopaD delivered
speech at the closing exercises of
St. Agnes School, Albany N. Y, in
which he said:
zone gets sick and tired of the way
in which the talk of woman's vocation
fills the air, not merely in the wild
vagaries of it's blatant assumptions,
but in the parade and push of its
clai ms of recognition Of what is called
it's rights. l believe that God will
save this state and nation from the
aggravated miseries Of an enlarged
unqualified suffrage which, in it's uni
versatility of male voters is our most
threatening danger today.
But IL we are to be visited with
this other infliction as a well-earned
punis hment for many national sins,
then l believe that when We have
tasted its bitterness we shall be
brought back, perhaps through an
archy and revolution, to democracy
which shall demand for its existence

and actual AmericaniSm of final in

ern.
1.-THE man who is set in public place
to-day, to train some OF the women of
America for their vocation, may not
in times like these withhold his voice
of warning against the dangers and
delusions Of the hour"
| The bishop goes farther than we
should. Our positionsis simply this
that while fighting the great battle
of the people against the Money-power

outside questions. "Sufficient unto

FREE FROM TAX, MORTGAGE OR Exc

The Coming Nation asks: "Are the
churches neglecting the poor?" And
then replies; mo; most of the
churches are promising the poor a
home In heaven, if they will only do
without one here, and allow the rich,
whom Christ condemned, to have the
palaces, If they will suffer the political
and social wrongs heaped upon them.
so the rich will be able to pay big pew
rents. You can rely on the churches
not to neglect the poor-they are the
guardians Of the poor to keep them
tractable for the rich SINNERS"
Now we don't subscribe to all this.
There are some excellent friends Of
the people among the clergymen,-
some who would give their hearts
blood for their tlocks. But there is no
doubt also that there are many among
them who would sell Christ over again
not for $3.50 as Judas did-but for a
good salary running into the thous-
ands of dollars.
Judas was an unfortunate wretch.
He lived before his time. In this age
he would have been at home, and his
name would be Rothschild.

THE SUB TREASURY.

The Prussian government has de-
cided to establish state warehouses
after the sub-treasury plan advocated
by the Farmers Alliance of this coun-
try.
This is all wrong. PlutOcracy
should keep the Emperor William
supplied with the leading Republican
and Democratic daily papers, Of this
country, and they would soon knock
all that nonsense out Of his head.
True it is that nearly every country
in the civilized world, has, at one time
or another, made loans to help its pro-
ducing classes; but the idea that the
f(alleged) foremost republic or the
globe should do the same thing is an
archical, socialistic, lunatical and ut
terly abominable.
Howl, devils, howl! And rejoice in
the thought that every howl is paid
for-on a gold basis.

But when we come to the shipping
Of wheat, by carload lots, the dis
elimination is still more surprising.
The freight, on a car load lot, per 100
pounds. from Minneap polls to hastings
is nothing! The freight on the same to
Minneapolis from Hastings is cents
per hundred pounds.
The distance from Hastings to ST.
Paul is about one-ifth of the distance
from Tasting to La Crosse; the charge
from Hastings to La Crosse, on first
class freight, is 80 cents, one-fifth Of
this would be 3-5 cents; but instead
of 3-5 cents it is Is cents!! And SO
on all through the catalogue.
Suppose this system was applied to
fares for travel, and that you could
come from Minneapolis to Hastings
for a quarter of a cent per mile, but
had to pay three cents mile to go
back! Tine people would tear up the
tracks and burn tine depot. And yet
robberies on fares are insignificant
compared with the ABSORPTION Of the

Electric lines can be built, up hill
and down dale, we are told, for $4,000
a mile, and run for mere trifle. Why
should not the farmers themselves
club together and build such lines,
! with depots every mile or two. They
would save the cost in one years crop
The Motor line brings passengers
from st. Paul to Inver Grove, nearly
halfway to Hastings, for five cents
the Milwaukee hog charges sixty
cents ms tead of ten cents, and steals
about one third of the crop besides.
If we had an electric line that WOULD
carry passengers from St. Paul to
Hastings for ten cents or even twenty
cents,and freights at similar rates, the
town of Hastings would double its
population in three years; and like re
suits would be achieved wherever thu
system was adopted.

RELATES AN AMUSING OCCURRENCE.

amusing occurrence which took place
just before he left home.

and one of his friends, who is farm
er, likewise Populist, met him on
the street and said: well, l hear
you are going to visit Cleveland?"
Mr.. Stevenson replied: eyes, l am

"Republican nothing" retorted the
farmer, ''you are going along with a
lot of id Democrats to call on a
Democratic president"
My! How the Republicans laugh at
the ignorance of the farmers! Didn't
know the difference between Cleye-
land the city, and Cleveland the abor-
tive president.
We believe the whole thing was q
yarn-and that nothing of the kline
ever occurred.

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.

The plutocrats seem to be getting
their eyes open. In the American
Banker of March 80, we find the fol-
lowing significant paragraph:
"Of particular interest this week
was the arguments made before the
United States Supreme Court in de-
tense of the constitutionality Of the
income tax. Aside from the purely
legal problems which are involved
there were utterances made by law
yers Of eminence in favor OF the tax
which were inspired by exaggerated
conceptions OF the growth and power
Of revolutionary sentiment in this
country. Attorney General Olney in
timated that unless the court sus tains
Congress in this case there might come
by and by revolution which would
sweep the court as at present organ
lied out Of existence; and Mr. Carter,
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-06-12

Of New York, argued to the effect that
the rich men ought to be made to pay
a much larger share Of their posses
sfons in the way of taxes than the
poor. and that dangerous social up
rising might be avoided by enforcing
this principle"
That is about the right view of the
situation, and, coming from such men
as Olney and Carter: ought to have
much weight with those who seem to
think that II the law and the courts
are on their side they constitute
perfect refuge OF safety. The people
know that either the court or consti-
tuition is wrong and they have strong
suspicion that it is the court, hence,
as Mr.. Olney intimated, there is dan
ger Of the people wiping out the court.
The court is made by and for the peo-
pie and the honorable judges don't
want to lose sight Of this fact.

THE COURTS AND THE MONOP-
OLIES.

A Boston judge has just given the
Bell telephone robbers decision that
extends their privilege of robbery for
Ii years. What curiosity a judge
would be who would decide the peO-
pie had some rights. Court decisions
in favor Of corporate robbers are get
ting monotonous. But then, nothing
else can be expected. It is standing
joke that the longest purse wins.-The
Coming Nation.
Why not? It is the longest purse
that appoints the judge:-and the
stream cannot rise higher than it's
source. Our whole system of politics
promotes rascality and brushes the
honest men:
Read this:
"a North Carolina jury indicted a
district court judge for drunkenness.
1t did we'll"
Every week you see in the papers
some account of crimes committed by
judges. And then we are told that we
must give up self-government and be
ruled by these tools of corporations!

dered the trust company to pay the

the judgment, leauing the crippled
girl as her share the more modest por-
tion of $6,023S3.' Think of that for
justice! Think of JUST being free
in this country! Think of an order of
court to take half the fortune jury
awarded crippled little girl to give
to a lawyer for a few days work. JUS
tice is farce. 1t is an irridescent
Dream a vagary, sound to tickle
fools who vote for this system"
And here is another choice item:
IA Republican county judge named
Ballard, saws dispatch, has been ar
rested in Chadron, Neb., for robbing a
woman of 5000. These are the kind of
men who howl against the anarchy
of Populism.' Scratch any of them
and you will find they all support the
old tickets"
So it goes. Let US get back to the
beliefs and customs of the founders OF

Now as the freight on first class

MADE BY A SPECIALIST ON THE RE-
SUITS OF DRINK.
(American Practitioner and News).
A distinguished specialist in chill
dren's diseases has carefully noted
the difference between twelve fami-
lies Of drinkers and twelve families Of
twelve years, with the result that he
found the twelve drinking families
produced in those years tifty-seven
children, while the temperate cnes
were accountable for siXty-one. OF
the drinkers twenty-six children died
in the first week of life, as against six
on the other side. The latter deaths
were from weakness, while the former
were attributable to weakness, con-
vulsive attacks or oedema Of the brain
and membranes. To this cheerful
record is added five who were idiots;
five so stunted in growth as to be
really dwarfs; five when older became
epileptics; one, boy, had grave
chorea. ending in idiocy; five more
were diseased and de:ormed. and two
of the eriiepLics became by inherit
ance drinkers Ten, therefore, CT this
tifty-seven only showed during life
normal disposition and development
Of bOdy aud mind. On the part OF
the temperates, as before stated, five
died in the first weeks Of weakness,
while four in later years of childhood
had durable nervous diseases. Two
only showed inherited nervous de-
fects. Thus, fifty were normal, in
every way sound in body AMI mind.
There is no doubt that alcohol is de-
structive to the vital powers, and that
it's evil influences continue in the
blood fer several generations.
Let it alone, friends.
