Where are all the brethren who vent
from the last, State Alliance determIn-
ed that their brethren throughout the
State should hear good news from their
Counties through THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER2 Now is a good time to do
and say good things, and if you are de-
ing no good, find some n who is and
let the brethren know it. Even that
will be q good thing.

What are you doing to defeat the
American Cotton CbmpanyG You
can't of course, do much by yourself,
but if every cotton farmer will oppose
it, the trust will die a bornin'." Better
get back 10 the Alliance. The shoe
factory will start soon. Besides, there
are numerous enemies to fight. The
American Cotton Company is one of
the many.

MILLIONAIRE CLEVELAND.

The gold standard papers have been
made very uneasy by the statement
that Cleveland retired from the Presi-
dency worth 50 600. 900 to s. 600. 600
No one has ever been bold enough to
deny the fact, but the papers friendly
to the single standard have been lately
circulating the statement that Cleve
land Listed only $50. 600 real estate and
$I30, 0C0 personal property at Prince
ton, N J., thus implying to the public
that he is worth only $3.50 600. It
proves nothing of the kind Taere are
miIlionaires whose property shrinks
nightly On giving it in for taxation,
but if this vas done fairly, still we
know that he could not give in for
taxation at Princeton real estate that
he owned at Gray G. tables, in New York,
in Chicago, O elsewhere. And as to
his personal property, his . 8 bonds
are non taxable and would not appear
on the tax list if he held a million dol.
lars of them, We have seen no denial
of the authoritative statement that
Mr.. Cleveland, who entered the White
House a poor man. is now q multi
millionaire, and this denial by impli.
cation is too thin. His policy made
millions of people poor. 1t is not sur
prising that it made him so rich.

The legal rate fixed by the Commission

Of 25 cents, but the telegraph company
gave $25 900 bond to refund the over

U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

A great racket is going on up at
Washington as to VINO shall be U. s.
District Attorney for this section just
as there was recently as to who should
be appointed Judge over US. It is all
a matter OF Court" favor,and the PEG
pie have no say whatever in naming
these public servants. Here is where
the corporations and syndicates get in
their deadly work On US. 1t is all
wrong. II the people r competent to
elect members Of Congress, they are fit
to elect U. 8. judges and District AT
torneys, and mis- life tenure of .. s,
judges is unrepublican and should be
done away with. Then our postmas-
5ers should be elected by the people at
each postom e. This way of going to
Washington to get appointments to
serve the public, and the backstairs and
Court favor resorted to for that purpose
are worse than being under amOnarchy.
We are a free people and fG to select
our own public servants, and need no
OHIO man to name them at the instance
of Mark Hanna nor any New York
man to do it at the procurement Of
PAerpont Morgan. Yet that is the way
iG is done, L is time to change this and
let the people select for themselves, as
they do with State aud county officers.

afternoon Inspector Hollnberger, who was
made acquainted with the criticism in prog
ress about his holding of the GIRL spoke as
follows:
Il do not care about the criticism. l am
trying to protect this girl. 1t is a shame
that there is not some law providing pun
fshment for abduction in the District of
Columbia. If there was it would be an
easy matter to give this man Anderson his
just desserts. The girl is infatuated with
him. Her parents unable to restrain
her. / am holding her by request of her
father to further Investigate the case. and
If there Is any possible chance to reach An
derson it will be taken advantage of. This
case is going to be probed to the very bot
tom by direction of Col. VIM. G. Moore
1t is only one of numerous instances of
the same sort that comes continually to the
attention of the police, and there must be
some radical change in the laws governing
this sort of business. Miss Maltby will be
held until Compel. inVes:i ion l.
matte
Inspector Hollinberger was very earnest
in his manner and took no pains TO conceal
his Indignation over AnIe:son's conneo ton
with the case.
Mr.. Maltby had a long consultation with
Inspector Holinberger this afternoon. At
its conclusion the father told a Star
porter that there nothing more to
say. His daughter was being held, and
what the outcome would be. or whether
more arrests would follow, he could not
tell

ASSEMBLY NOT INCLUDED.
Resolutions Concerning Those in
Authority In kniEhts of Labor.

RESOLUTIONS Concerning ThOSC In
Authority I'm knights of Labor.
At the meeting last evening of District
Assembly No GO. knights of Labor, much
time was devoted to the consideration OF
the resolutions adopted at the last session
OF the Central Labor Union, which charged
that those in authority" in the order had
given information to the coal mine owners
which had enabled them to prepare for the
strike by largely increasing the reserve
supply of coal.
A number of the delegates present at the
neeting advised that ID. A. 66 should make
an official denial of the statements made
by the Central Labor Union, and which
were indorsed by the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. but the prevailing sentiment was that
the statement was untrue, and SO ridiculous
mat a denial was not necessary.
The charge referred to has been discussed
in labor circles for several DAYS. and opin
ions nave been freely expressed by both
factions of local labor. Today when ques-
toned relative to the matter. & delegate
to the Central Labor Union sad that he
was confident the statement was correct.
Il was pr sent at the last meeting of the
Central Labor J'nion,' he said when
those resolutions We're adopted. The dele
gate who submitted them stated that h.
would be responsible for the statement.
He also said that the charge did not ap-
ply to ID. A. Gt. but. as stated. to those
in authority at headquarters
The member who submitted the resolu-
tons to the Central Labor Union declares
that ID. A. G6 not included in the
charge.
THAT body" he said, 'is no more respon-
sible for the action of those in national
authority in the Knights of Labor than Is
the Central Labor Union. 1t is simply
local body. and is not supposed to have
any definite, positive knowledge of what the
national officials do. Under these conditions
an official denial Of what is alleged to have
Ecen done by these in authority would be
far more ridiculous than, as they assert
were the charges made by the Central
Labor Union"
