Something New In Yachts.

A Bath (Me.) shipbuilding firm is figuring on a unique craft, the idea of several New York yachting men. The plan is to build craft that can be used for carrying coal during the greater part of the year and serve for pleasure cruis- ing during the summer months.
 The hull above the water line will somewhat resemble a whaleback steam CT, with a sort of cockpit, with sharp ends such as are used on the top of a bracing shell to protect the deck. Be tween decks the craft will be fitted up like yacht, handsome cabins and state rooms, finished ill mahogany and quar- tered oak to occupy this space. Big headlights and the deck skylights will thoroughly light these rooms. The lower hold will be devoted to the freight busi- ness While the vessel is engaged in freight carrying the .' tween decks ' will be kept closed.
 The craft will be 200 feet long, 40 feet beam and 25 feet deep. Her under water lines somewhat suggest those of the old clipper ship, for the craft is de- signed for yacht speed, and she will be rigged as a four masted schooner. She will have all the steanIappliances of the ordinary freight schooner and all the most modern yacht fixtures and furnish ings. New York Sun

Interesting Souvenir of the Heidelberg
 Congress of Journalists.
 The facsimile issued as @ souvenir to the members of the congress of journal ists. held this year at Heidelberg, was D very interesting one, says the London Printers Register.
 It has hitherto been supposed that the earliest newspaper was the Frankfurter Journal, which began it's existence as a weekly publication ill 1615. seven years before the issue of the first London newspaper. But priority must now be conceded to the venerable sheet of which copies were presented at Heidelberg, as it's date is 1609

WITH A SINGLE RAIL.
Novel Project For Line on the Canadian
 Border.

William 5. Seeley, a resident of Braine1d, Minn., but now in the Rainy Lake gold country, has in process of completion project to build railroad from Tower to Rainy Lake City, on the Canadian border, over a route where an ordinary railroad could scarcely be run. But the road planned by Mr Seeley will not be an ordinary one in any sense of the word and his plans and specified tions are already attracting considerable attention from railroad men and. ma chinists generally
 The track of MT. SeeIey's road will consist of a singis rail instead of two, and the papers of that section are al- ready referring to 1t as the one legged road. The great advantage claimed for this road is it's cheapness, it costing less than one-haf as much as a regular dou- ble track, standard gauge road to con struct and operate \ row of piling is driven, and the single rail is laid on top of this piling seven CT eight feet from the ground. The cars are to be con structed so that the floor is about five feet below the level of the rail, and each side of the cars will be loaded as nearly equally as possible, so that the vehicle will ride easily and smoothly.
 That the cars cannot be upset will be seen at q glance, as the weight in them will be below the rail The piles are to be set 10 or l2 feet apart and will be capped with heavy wooden beams, upon which the single rail will rest 1t is claimed by MT. Seeley that such road has already been operated successfully and that he has demonstrated by models that the plan will be a success in this case. One of the great needs of the northern part of Minnesota is railroad. from Tower to Rainy Lake City, and the residents of those places are more than enthusiastic over the proposed line.

WANTS A BLANKET DIVORCE.
Yellow Bonnet Has Four Wives and
 Wishes to Be Free.

N iSneB 10 ESe Free.
 Yellow Bonnet, Cheyenne Indian, has applied for blanket divorce from four wives at Tologa, 0. T. It is the first time that an Indian has sued for divorce in Oklahoma.
 Yellow Bonnet gives as his reasons for his action that he has recently em- braced the Christian religion and cannot live polygamous life; also that his wives have refused to become Chris tians. He asks for the custody of only one of his 1 g children.
 It was at first thought that it was not necessary to ask for a divorce, IS the laws of Oklahoma forbid polygany. A few lawyers held to that idea, but other lawyers eontended that as he married the four wives under the tribal laws, recognized partially by the government and before the statutes of Oklahoma ex- isted, he could not be separated from them except by process of the laws now prevailing.
 This opinion finally prevailed, and the divorce application was filed. That Yellow Bonnet is sincere in preferring Christianity to four wives is shown by the fact that each of the wives and chil- dren has now nice allotment of land and several hundred dollars of trust funds coming from the government.
 The wives will consent only to a "blanket" divorce. for they are afraid to allow the cases to be taken up sepa- rately for fear that Yellow Bonnet after getting rid of three of them would keep the fourth, and as there is intense jeal- ousy existing among them the attorneys could not persuade them to consent to single suits New York Recorder.

THE DUCHESS DoWRY.
Miss Consuelc Vanderbilt to Have About
 @10,D0O,0OO.

Miss Vanderbilt's engagement is the absorbing topic of soeiety's conversa- tion, and all sorts of rumors and specu- lations are going it's rounds concerning the possibility of renewal of friendly relations between her mother and her father's family and what settlements Mr Vanderbilt will make upon her.
 Her dowry will of course be large one. Ten million dollars is the sum generally mentioned in society's gossip.
 This will be secured to the future duchess in such q way that her husband will only be able to touch the interest of it. Blenheim can be kept up hand somely on $500, 900 year and much of it's old splendor revived. Its priceless art treasures, however, which went un- der the hammer some years ago, cannot be restored to it, although with doting father to stretch the annual allowance out from time to time the young Amer ican duchess can secure others.
 In addition to the SIG, 900, 900 dowry Miss Vanderbilt will have $50, GOO q year, which sum goes with every Van derbilt girl for pin money. It twill hard ly keep her i'll clothes, to be sure-Mrs. Theodore Havemeyer, who does not dress very elegantly, is reported to have paid $40, ,000 for her gowns last year but it will pay for her hats and gloves at least.
 An intimate friend of Mir. w. K. Vanderbilt, who will not permit his name to be mentioned, said that outside of the four most interested persons in the marriage-Mr. and Mrs. Wander bilt, Miss Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough-probably nobody knew the exact amount of money that will be settled on Miss Vanderbilt.
 MT. and Mrs. Yanderbilt's lawyers will also know ill time, but doubt if any one else will eyer learn the true amount, ? the gentleman remarked. However, $10, 1000, 900 is q conserya- tive estimate New York Journal.

Machinery and Distress.

The essay of Col. John R. Bond, read
before the Farmers Club last week, was
mile stone on the highway of thought
Two years ago such an essay would have
been an anomaly, it would have been an
outlaw invading the pastrol elysium OF
the Farmers Club. To-day it is matter
of fact subject to consider, claiming a
place in the mind of farmers as legiti-
mate offspring of the pressure they are
feeling in common with the great pro-
ducing class.
The next essay that would seem to be
in order of succession is, "What is Social
ism ?" Col. Bonds essay on labor
saving machinery brings the Club to the
borderland of socialism, the discussion of
which the world is about entering on with
an earnestness never before experienced
on that line of thought.
The April meeting of the Club will be
held at A. ]. Michener's, and we appre-
bend it will be expected that brother
Kitchener will take up the subject where
Col. Bond dropped it, and determine
which is the better way to choose out of
the present entangling environments
society finds itself in; whether by the
fraternal CO operative system, or the
heroic methods known as the Malthusian
process. Christ taught the former The
devil must have invented the latter,

The Ship Wouldn't Slide.

The launch of the steamship ST.
Paul, did not take place on Monday
at the Cramps ship yard as ar
ranged for. Everything was in
readiness, and the girl with the
bottle of christening wine took her
place ready to break it over the
vessels head as soon as the keel
touched water. The ship refused
to move on the ways. Jacks were
tried without effect, and then three
tugs and the ice boat were hitched
to the big aleyiathen but they all
couldn't burge her. After labor
ing till 1 O'Clock p. IN. Mr.. Cramp
announced to the 10000 disap-
pointed people the launch would
have to be postponed for week or
ten days, Bad tallOw had been
used Mr., Cramp said, which had
cemented the ship to the ways in
place of lubricating them. The
vessel will have to be raised up,
and the bad tallOw scraped off and
a coat of good grease applied. The
frolic and speech making were
very much spoiled by the mishap.

A Startling Announcement.

The American Bimetallic party which
recently met in Washington, D. c., issued
strong address ito the people of the
United States" in which the following
startling announcement is made: An
estimate is given that the gold standard
since the demonstration of silver "has
absorbed from forty to fifty thousand
millions of the worlds wealth"
Think of it This party of greed, the
gold. bug party, absorbing this vast sum
of the worlds wealth i'll twenty years.
What makes them the most dangerous
element in our civilization, they
own all the large morning dailies of
both continents, which they use to lie
to and deceive the people. And the two
old parties are the political machinery
with which they work in the United
States.

That "One Plank" Racket.

In these piping times of political
turmoil the best thing can be done
is to keep the public as well posted
as possible on transporting events.
To this end we published last week
the platform and salient points of
the accompanying address of the
American Bimetallic party. This
week we publish Hon. Joseph G.
Sibley's letter who was named by
the Bimetallic party as their pre-
ference for Presidential candidate
which letter was written before the
movement was made that named
him as prospective Presidential
candidate. By a careful perusal
of the letter the political web and
wool of the man, as well as his
moral stamina may be pretty ac-
curately determined.
We have also taken the gist of
the Omaha platform of the Peoples
party and put it in concise form
shorn of all ante election verbiage
so that those who may have been
confused by the recent beating of
tom toms by a portion of the
western Peoples party press over
"single plank" may know ''where
they are at" These western de-
scendents of Anthony the Trumpet
or after fusing and dickering with
old parties and doing a lot of
damage to the Peoples party have
sickened on that kind of diet and
spewed it out, are now shouting
after the manner of the returning
''backslider" the loudest in the
congregation.
Money, Telegraph, Land, Trans
portation, which we have arranged
in the order of approach on the
fourth page of the JOURNAL, com
prise the Zone plank" platform,
Chairman Tanbeneck and the editor
of the Waterman have solidly stood
upon all the time and warned the
now western tone plank" yawpels
against their Delilah coquetting.
These more or less western prOdigals
are more constituencies than the
accusers who brought the magdalen
before the Saviour.

The r1oney Power.

The work of the Peoples party is to
nationalize money. Until that is accom-
plished there is no room for completing
any other reform work With money,
the life and vital force oftrade and indus
try, in the hands of an exclusive class, a
class set apart from the rest of the world
by special laws in whose hands is placed
the entire control of the nations money,
no advance for reform on any line can be
made that this class objects to. No
wealth can be created by industry that it
does not toll. No abuse it supports and
profits by can be abolished. Not single
issue that the money power opposes can
be promoted in the face of its opposition
Every process, every business, no matter
how vile, that brings more wealth into its
possession, is supported and encouraged
The fashionable church is in its power,
endeavoring to establish Sunday opening
for saloons and church saloons. 1t has
trodder under foot the temperance moral
movement it has crushed out the temper
ance political movement; it has intimi
dated the Judiciary and dictated its con-
struction of law; it has debauched the
law making power and compels it to do
its bidding. With such aspower as this
dominating in social, business and polit-
ical affairs there is no approach on the
road to reform possible. The class who
are controlling the money are steadily
growing more and more arrogant, die
tatorial and threatening. They propose
to resort to the old methods of force to
subdue the rising discomfort of the suf-
fering masses The peoples enemy is
the money power; the poverty and dis
tress of to day is the work of the money
power the question of liberty or slavery
for the future is question of triumph or
overthrow of the money power. The
people can accomplish its subjugation if
they unite. If they scatter and waste
their strength among many parties, pursue
isms and false lights, they will be beaten
and finally permanently enslaved. The
wealth they create is rapidly going into
the hands of the money power. When
it is all absorbed their liberties will follow.
The usurpations of power and defiance
of law by Cleveland have only to be
made presidents by further strengthened
money power and a poverty weakened
people when the oligarchy will place its
armed despot in command and supplant
the republic of Washington. This is no
hobgoblin in the dark to frighten the
timid, but fearful, approaching reality
whose form is but family yelled in the
dissolving mists of the future.

Did the quiet one slumber and rest
Peacefully passing away,
Obeying our Savior's behest,
To awake in Eternity's day.
No Borrowing farewell was said;
Quiet grief tor the weeping lone one
Softly pillow'd the weary ones head
When the spirit wing'd its way home.
Oh beautiful, beautiful thought,
Years of true love as they pass'd,
The tender affection they sought,
Loves morning, loves evening at last
No tear of regret may be shed.
The tear of affection may tell
Where the peaceful one pillow'd his head !;
Did the spirit not whisper, tits WE'LL
The vacancy now in the home
The dear ones around thee will fill,
Submissively meeting the doom
The mourning heart whispers, be still.
Another our sympathy claims,
The tiny ones weeping with her;
Sweet voices ask mamma in vain:
viii Grandpa return never more?
We are wanting to climb on his knee,
His arm to encircle us there;
Oh, must we again never be
Carress'd in Grandpa's arm chair?
There is beauty in every thought,
Tho loved ones are passing away;
o beautiful, beautiful thought,
They may live in Eternity's day.
