THE wIMMIN Is A RISIN'."

The heart of Southern womanhood
is throbbing with pride and pleasure
at the brilliant literary triumph of
their sisters in Memphis, who on Val
entine's Day published an issue of the
Commercial Appeal, of thirty four
pages. Such paper has never been
equalled in journalism, 50 far as we
know. Every line is a triumph; every
page long sweep toward that Higher
Womanhood to which our fair daugh-
tiers are tending. Purity, brilliancy,
talent and brains mark every article:
and the women of the country should
hold up this marvellous number of the
Commercial Appeal as banner white
and spotless, leading toward the victo-
ry of future years, when no restriction
will mark the limit beyond which wo-
mems voices cannot go. 1t is sound
ing argument that they are neither
idiots nor imbeciles" and should not
be classed with citizens so described.
The amazing sum of 5000 was OBJ
tanned from this one issue--the Wo-
mans Edition-which by their decis-
ion will go to the United Charities of
the Bluff City.

A RECORD BREAKER.

The cold spell, not yet fairly over, is
universally pronounced the most Sc
we're and unusual this section of coun-
try has ever experienced. The snow
of last Wednesday night was followed
by much heavier one Thursday night,
which lasted until noon Friday. Fri
day night it began again and lasted I'M
til noon Saturday. The depth has
been variously estimated here at
from to 6 inches on dead level.
Snow balling and sleighing were the
order of the day Friday, and many
were the lively and exciting combats
ON the streets in the former.
In New Orleans the snow reached
the depth of 10 inches and the new
found sport of -balling, skating
and sleighing set the whole population
that semi-tropical city almost wild
with delight.

Hampton Roads conference. when Mr..

could be arranged, Mr.. Watterson said;

The average for the countries other
than the United States as here given
is 34.4 per cent. of tenants. That for
the United States is over 10 per cent.
More millionaires than all the rest
of the world put together, and only one
hdT as large q proportion OfhOme- OWn-
erS. That is the condition of this the
wealthiest and one of the youngest ma
lions on earth, even after giving away
millions of acres of public lands.
Mr.. Carnegie quotes Mr.. James c.
Carter, the eminent lawyer of New
York, in his speech before the Boring
Sea commission, as follows:
Those who are most successful in the acqui-
siti0n of property and who acquire it to such an
enormous extent are the very men who are able
to control it, to invest it. and to handle it in the
way n,est useful TO society"
That depends upon what is meant by
"acquisitiOn." President Morris of the
late Louisiana Lottery Company is a
millionaire. Does his acquisition" of
property indicate that he is the best
able to handle it lin the way most use
full to society? Captain Kidd was mo
SLOUGH" in the matter of acquisition"
neither was Bill Tweed; neither is Dick
Croker; nor was Jesse James aitogoth-
er failure.
We have no quarrel with the mil
lionaire who has by fair means and
honest acquired his possessions. He
is blessing to a nation, and no one
begrudges him all the millions that his
labor may bring him. Every dollar
such man acquires has brought
wealth to the nation as well as to him
self, and all the world is better off in
consequence of his activities. But this
thing of accepting mans wealth as a
sufficient proof in itself of his great
ness and usefulness, irrespective Of the
means by lchich it acds anadssed, is to
obliterate all moral distinctions 1t is
to defy the Devil, with MammOn and
Greed and Avarice as his high priests
and apostles.
Before we begin to glory in our mil
lionaires, let us scan the records of
some of them. There was Jay Gould,
with his eighty millions. Was he q
benefactor? Let Black Friday and
the hard times that followed it answer.
Let the railroad wrecks that strewd
his course answer. Let the fact that
the market price of the stocks of the
railroads he controlled went up as
soon as he died answerl There are
John ID. Rockefeller aud the other
magnates of the Standard Oil Com
pany. There is sworn testimony show
ing that IN Is months the company re-
eeived 6l0,O00O00 in rebates from the
railways, enabling it to crush out com
petitors and monopolize one half tho
worlds supply of petroleum. There
are the late Leland Stanford. Coils p.
Huntington, Charles Crocker, and
Mark Hopkins what do their millions
mean to the world? Let the Central
Pacific Railroad. with cost of con-
struotiom of S40.000000 and capitaIi-
zation of Sl24, 2l1 $50, tell. Let the fact
that, while these men have amused
millions upon millions to their own
personal account, the roads they con-
trolled have been bankrupted and the
Government defrauded and the stock
holders filched, tell. These million
aires are representative of scores of
others. Wall-Street speculation has
made some. Railroad wrecking has

Coast counties; and in Alabama to
about 10000 acres. While the house
was in good humor, the McLaurin's bill
which passed the Senate last week, was
also passed, and the Presidential sig

The Populist Leaders at Washington Is
sue an Address.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Populist
members of the Senate and House
whose names are attached, besides the
others whose signatures are given, have
issued the following address:
To the Membars of the Peoples Party:
Greetings: AS early as 1896 a
conspiracy was entered into between
the gold gamblers of Europe and Amer
lea to accomplish the following pur.
poses
To fasten upon the people of the
United States the burdens of perpet-
ual debt; to destroy the greenbacks
which had brought us safely through
the perils of war; to strike down silver
as a money metal: to deny to the peo-
pie the use of Federal paper and silver,
the two Independent sources of money
supply guaranteed by the constitution;
to fasten upon and to delegate to thou
sands of banking corporations, organ
lied for private gain, the sovereign con-
troll for all time over the issue and
volume of all supplemental paper cur
rency. Thus they doubled the de-
mands for gold; forced upon the coun-
try an appreciating money standard,
entailing an indefinite period of fall
ing prices; robbed enterprise of its
just profits, condemned labor to idle.
ness and confiscated the property of
debtors.
They address themselves to the one
SUBJECTIVE money question-in all of
its breadth and magnitude. This
brings the country face to face with a
perilous issue, which calls for immedi-
ate and united action on the part of
the people. Every behest of patriot
ism requires that we shall at once meet
the issue and accept the challenge de-
family offered. To falter now is to in
vite disastrous failure.
We earnestly urge the Populists
throughout the country to concentrate
their entire force and energy upon the
tremendous contention presented and
thus meet the enemy upon his chosen
line of battle Invite the aid and CO.
operation of all persons who favor the
immediate free coinage of silver at 16
to /, the issue of all paper money by
the government, without the interven-
ton of banks of issue, and who are op-
posed to the issue of interest bearing
government bonds in time of peace. In
a word, to extend the hand of fellow
ship to all who agree with you upon
the money question, which is certainly
the mightiest and most fundamental
controversy evolved during the pres
ent century.

A Letter From Miss Frances Il. Willard
to the Editor.
CuICAGn Il

CHICAGO, Feb. 9, 1895.
DEAR FRIEND AND BRoTHER:-Will
you kindly give our white ribbon lift
by lending us the use of your columns
that we may put before the whole peo
pie of this country plan by which
without laying burden upon any we
can become the owners in fee simple
of our beautiful Temple and have the
money to carry on our work for God
and Home and Native Land?
The Trustees of the Woman's Tenn
pie in Chicago have devised and ap-
piled for patent on an ingenius de-
vice-the Temple Wheel-a cut of
which enclose. Between each of the
twelve spokes of the wheel there is a
red seal large enough to inclose dime
which Is secured in its place by mois-
tening the seal and pressing it down.
The person who gives the dime writes
his or her name with address in the
opposite space and receives from tho
one who has the wheel in charge a
small Autograph of the Temple with
it's history
The Trustees purpose when the
wheel is returned ladened with its
freight of silver to copy the names on
it and send to each address another
wheel to fill. This chain will be kept
up until one million wheels have been
filled. AS matter of course it is on
ly by carrying out this plan on large
scale that the work can be made sue
cess.
The first chain is started by sending
out five thousand wheels. We request
the friends of temperance who know
the holy war we are engaged in against
a foe aggressive, relentless and power
full to aid US to the extent of getting
twelve friends to give dime each to-
wards filling wheel. One win be
sent free with twelve autographs of
the building to all who make applica-
ton to the President of the Temple
Trustees, Mrs. Matilda b. Carse, The
Temple, Chicago, III.
Here is an opportunity, not only for
the grown-ups, but for the children
and young people to do good stroke
of work for temperance and at the
same time for themselves, for pre-
MUM is to be given to every person
who fills wheel. These premiums
are remarkably attractive, embracing
games, books and a Temple Souvenir
silver tea spoon: To secure the latter
however, four wheels must be filled.
"a long pull, a strong pull and pull
all togethar' will give us our house
Beautiful which is an office building
the rentals of which will enable us to
carry forward our work, always here
tofore grevously crippled for lack of
the ''sinews of War;" We appeal to
any who may read these lines to do
this much for us and thus throw sill
yer thread of purpose and affection be-
tween each temperance fireside and
the Woman's Temperance Temple in
the great metropolis of the West.
Believe me, with every good wish for
each one who reads these words.
Your comrade in the cause of sober.
pure and happy homes,
FRANCES f. WILLARD.

and control its various departments

their credit, realizing the neat sum of
