THE CHICAGO FARCE.

No we'll informed person believed
that the workingmen of Chicago in
vited Secretary Carl sic to go to that
city and discuss the financial question
for their benefit. Wall Street instiga
ted the whole affair. Here is what
the Farmers Vice of Chicago, a
widely circulated agricultural paper,
said about it:
Secretary Of the Treasury Carlisle
has been in Chicago, protessedly to de
liver a lecture to laboring men in be
half Of the gold standard. 1t was a
criminal deception to represent that
this man-who was an advocate Of free
silver, until he became a cabinet officer
at a salary of IS, 900 a year-came here
at the invitation of labor. He did
nothing of the kind. He came here at
the suggestion of the Cleveland admin
istration and in the pay Of the bank
ing interests. Cleveland is determined
to press the gold theory down the
throats of the people. He and the
bankers sent Carlisle here. Now see
the result: The city Of Chicago will go
at the next election for the Republican
ticket, unless Gov. Altgeld, a free silver
man, should run for re election. If
Governor Altgeld should be the candi
date, we believe that he would carry
Chicago and Cook County. He would
HOY W. tho Commons with him zo1;5I-.
he would have the labor elements with
him; and it is presumpiu0us for Sacre
tary Carlisle to come to Chicago and
advocate gold. He got a cold recep
ton. Toe workiugmen in the city
were not in the audience; and suppose
they were. There is not much conf
dence in The saying of a man who g
q red hot silver man and turned into q
gold advocate because he became a
clerk of Grover Cleveland. The farm
ers OF illinois, to whatever party they
may belong, are generally for silver
coinage; and as that is to be the secret
of the prosperity of Illinois agricu,
ture, the party that adopts it will be
very apt to succeed. 1t must not be
forgotten that while the Republican
party will probably elect it's State
ticket IN Illinois, the Republican party
is by no means sure of capturing the
Legislature. 1t may be a Democratic
legislature. 1t is possible that the
Populist party may have the balance
OF power. Carlisle did not touch the
State when he came into Chicago"
The Western Rural, another infu-
entail and reliable agricultural paper,
said:
Secretary Calisle came TO Chicago
last week to convince the working

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Send in your stock for the shoe fac
tory. 1t will be needed soon. Send
direct to Secretary Barnes, at Hillsboro.
The several State Democratic con
ventions that have endorsed President
Cleveland seem to have overlooked the
fact that they ought to have endorsed
the administration OF Old Mex at the
same time.
Senator Tillman made another nep
hritic speech in the Senate Friday.
Tillman can say as mean things as
Cleveland can do. But we notice that
Tillman resumes his place in the Demo
cratic ranks as soon as his speeches are
faishCd If he believes all he says he
would not cohabiV with the gang any
longer.
Works being pushed on the Alliance
tannery at Hillsboro, It will be com
pleted in q short while, and then the
shoe making machinery will be put in
place. The tannery is necessary, both
because it will cheaper the cost Of the
shoes, and the fecsory will not be at
the mercy Of the leather trust, as it
would without the tannery.

thoughtless work in all lines. We need

The Richmond Times declares that if
the National Democratic Convention
does not take a stand for sound money
the party will be annlhileted. Can't
do it, Mr.. Times. 1t has done annihi

a few months before he died, that if the
Shermanlaw w~asrepealed without sub
shutting another silver law, that the
party would walk out OF itself. It has
walked. Too late now to talk about
humiliation.
There has ben much talk about the
safety Of the Mississippi State capitol
building, which is described as an old,
tumble-dOwn sffair. On last Wednes
day the Democratic State convention
met in the capitol and endorsed Sena
Sor Walthall for Vice President. 1t is
said this was done with a ''shout that
shook the foundation stones of the
capitol" Two questions naturally
arise. Did the Democratic State con
ventions previously held there jar the
building until the walls became inse

INJURING EVERYTHING.

The following editorial is taken from
the March, 1896, number of the Odd
Fellows S-uvenir, the national organ
of the great fraternity of Odd Fellows.
10 a personal interview with the editor
we are informed that this editorial is
the result of much consideration by
many Of the N 0st conservative mem
bers; that this question has been under
consideration for more than a year and
the official data at hand is so convinc
ing that it Is useless to attempt to claim
that the present monetary conditions
are not working great ii Try to the or
der, says the Industrial Leader.
In part, editor M F. Dowd said
The present monetary condition has
been a great injury to our order. The
[ fiji cal data received at this cfice shows
that we lest in 1898 Sc $50 members by
suspension for non-pay ment of dues,
and in 1894 the number dropped was
As 339. a total of s., 225 for the two
years, and it is believed that the off :iaI
reports for 1895 when completed will
show nearly as many suspensions as in
the years 1903 i combined. In 1898
we initiated u, 8O7, while in 1894 we in.
itiated 60 845, a decrease of nearly
9 900. We have about 500 600 mem
bers in the United States and terri
tories" Yes, they are all voters. Be-
fore q man can become an Odd Fellow
he is required to sign e contract which
is binding alike upon himself and the
order, hence it is necessary that he
should be 81 years Of age. When the
situation is properly understood 1 be
lieve the American people will demand
free coinage of silver at the ratio of IL
to 1.
The Souvenir does not handle po-
litical questions, j. e., from a partisan
standpoint, nor is tie lection of finance
a partisan question i'll any sense of the
word.
ut is, however, a question that
vitality affects the great order of Odd
Fellows. This is a great benevolent in
stitution and anything that retRrds the
progress of the order is a subject en-
titled to the fullest consideration. A
contraction of our currency makes
money dear and thus increases the bur,
den of u members. If the purchas-
ing power of money becomes great the
price of labor and the products of labor
becomes less valuable; hence, if the
purchasing power of the American dol
lar is twice AS great under the gold
standard as it would be under free coin,
age of both gold and silver at the ratio
of Is to 1, then it will be twice as hard
for the members to pay their quarterly
dues under the present gold standard
as it would be under the free Coinage

Proposition TO Restore the Roman Catho-
lie schools Is likely TO BE Resisted, and
strife May Follow-The Old scctarian
Conflict to BE Revived.
OTTAWA, Feb. ls-The remedial bin
that proposes TO restore Roman Catholic
schools in Manitoba was introduced in the
Dominion parliament. The galleries were
crowded, and every mombor was in his
seat. IL was evident that this bin was re-
garded as the most important measure. in
its effect upon the political parties OF Cam
ada, that has ever been brought in the Do
minion house OF commons.
On presenting the bill Mr.. DiclSey min.
lister OF justice. made an exhaustive speech
descriptive OF the general lines on which
the bin Is drawn lie stated that it was
modelled as FAR as possible on the lines Of
the old legislation ia Manitoba. IL was
found impossible, no said, to restore TO the
Roman Catholic minority in Manitoba
those rights to which It was thought they
were entitled under the constitution with
out establishing a system of separate
schools. With this end In view, a board OF
education for separate schools Is TO be cs-
tablishod In the province, composed Of the
same number Of persons as the Catholic
section OF the old board of education This
board will have power in organizing and
carrying on the schools. Ilo said that all
Catholics in tho province would be taxa
bio for the support Of the separate schools,
except those Catholics whose children
should attend the public schools
The Plan Further Outlined.
Tho speaker further outlined the plan

regulating the system of rates. for the Sc
lection of schoolboolss. etc. The minister
then said that he would reserve FOR some
other occasion the discussion Of the princi-
pies OF the bill
Mr. Mccarthy said Perhaps the hon
orable gentleman win tell the house about
the financial aspect of tho measure
Mr. Dickey replied: "Tho financial as
pect Of the measure is this: The Catholics
who become adherents to this school sys.
tenn, or rather who do not dissent from
this school system, are allowed TO tax
themselves for the separate schools I'm their
districts, and they are exempted from tax
alton for the public schools of the PROV
ince of Manitoba. The municipality is
cnioined by the bill 60 collect the munich
pality taxes over the whole OF the Roman
Catholic property in the municipality and
70 distribute it for the support of schools.

one Of very grave difficulty, and the CON

In answer to an inquiry by Mr.. Laurier,
the presenter of the bill stated that the
