1t may not be generally known that
there is a good deal Of land In Hawaii
which may be taken up by settlers.
Some Of this is quite desirable land

homestead or land lease system by

No MORE FUSION.

The People party in its convention
this week at Nashville, Tennessee,
adopted a report which in part is as
follows:
while we have nothing but kindly
feelings toward the rank and file Of our
late allies, we do not believe that the
question of free silver is in itself a
broad enough platform for a National
party. The reconciliation Of silver
would, we believe. increase the price
Of labor and its productions, by increas-
ing the supply Of money, and it is
therefore a matter of utmost conse-
quence Il all the people Of the United
States: but it must not be forgotten
that the opening Of the minis to silver
would not decrease n iota the rob
berries 81 the corporations, the usurers,
the rings and the trusts. 1t will avail
nothing to add TO the value Of labor
productions if the exactions Of plum.
derers are permitted to increase In
equal or greater proportion"
Further on the report says: while
we are utterly opposed to fusion and
know that it has brought dis5ensioni
in our ranks, we recognize the fac
that many who favored it did so In tbs
sincere belief that it was best for th,
country and best for the party: bu
while holding these views, we declar'
no convention, caucus or committee 0

were injured, an increase of eleven
killed and 408 injured. The number of
persons other than employees and pas
sengers was 4,406, and the number in

casualties to persons reported as tres
passers, of whom 3,911 were killed and
4, 1853 injured. The number of passen-
gers carried for one passenger killed
was 1927 ,437, and one passenger out of
1882 was injured, the immunity of
passengers faom accident is shown by
the ratio based upon the number of

that 1908 passenger miles were trav-
eled for every passenger killed, and A.,
81 ,945 passenger miles for every pas
senger injured. This is satisfactory
showing and contrasts sharply with
the terrible fatalities among employees
where one man out of every 444 was
killed, and one out of every % was in

still more shocking, for of these, one
man out of every 152 was killed and
one out of evsry ten was injured. If

The Engineering and Mining Journal
of New York, which has grown rich
through the patronage of the miners,
aside from the money its owners have
made by such exporting exploits as
they have made, such as the S25 700 re
ceived several years ago for report
upon the Little Pittsburg at Leadville,
has for several years stood by the plu-
tocrats in their war against silver. Now
that the wealth owners have gone far
enough to give them confidence to do
so, they are beginning to preach that
humble content should be the lot of
the laborer. The Engineering and
Mining Journal is advocating the re-
duction of miners wages and would be
content to see them all upon the same
plane as the Pennsylvania coal miners.
The Western Mining World, in an ed
itorial scoring the journal, closes as
follows:
Labor organized upon basis that
makes it honorable to toll and that in
vites into its ranks honest, upright,
God-fearing men, is the highest pro-
lection and support that capital can
command. 1t is the degradation of la
Dor that injects into the ranks OF toll
the spirit of anarchy and disrespect
for law, just as aristocratic idleness
breeds contempt for the humble and
disregard for human life.
Its wage system makes Montana to-
day the safest place on the continent
for the investment of capital, for it
places the balance of power in the
hands of men who are to the West what
the intelligent farmers are to the East
in the control of affairs, and insures
the development Of the state along pa
triotic lines. All the soft-snap seeking
capital ulceratiIg in the vaults of Wall
Street will not induce Montana to ex-
change the pleasant relations now OK
listing between the mine owners and
their employees, growing out of a sys-
TEN that diffuses a percentage Of the |
wealth dug out Of n locality among the |
diversified business interests of that |
community, for the hobo breeding |
policy of the bilks who operate the coal |
mines of the Keystone state. Montana
is satisfied with its wage system, and it
will be modified only through co-opera
tive policies that will equalize the bur-
dens inflicted upon the silver industry
as well as dividing its profits when real.
lied. Montana is great enough, and
broad enough and grand enough to
look upon the smokeless smokestacks
of her silver mines and bow with pa
triotic reverence to the emblem of our
union under whose starry folds the
hellish rape of wealth that wrought the
ruin was planned; but no state in the
proud republic can surrender the man
hood of her people and live.
