APPEAL TO P0PULIS1S
For the Lease Home Fund.

The following contributions have been
received for the fund recently started,
which is being raised by the Represen-
tative for the purpose Of purchasing a
home for Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, Of
Kansas, who has been ruthlessly de-
prived OF the shelter for her children,
by money-lending corporation, for one
half the amount loaned upon it, and a
judgment obtained for the remainder,
which they propose to use in following
her up to reduce her to absolute want.
Her offence is the eloquent advocacy of
Populist principles. l ask every lover
of justice and fair play to send his con-
tribution to me at Hastings, Mimi, and
l will see that the money is acknowl
edged in this paper, and scrupulously
applied to the purpose designated.
also call upon all Populist newspapers
throughout the country to give notice to
their readers of the movement, and re-
quest their subscribers to contribute to
the fund.

OIL ON TIE ROADHEn.


Get Rid OF the Dust,
The p, w. IL b. Railroad Co. is ex-
perimenting with view to adopting Il
specially prepared OIL as means to lay
the dust caused by its flyers. The ex-
pertinent is being made on its line be.
tween Lanham's and Deanwood. where
the speed attained by the trains is very
high and the amount of dust and dirt
is correspondingly great. The result
will be watched with much interest.
The oil Ia distributed along the road
he'd by means of a specially constructed
car. The "spreader, as the car is
known. is comparatively simple con-
trivance. and with gum hose and pipes
is connected to an Ordinary oil tank car
filled with tho oil, the spreading of the
oil over the roadbed heing done at the
rate of about four miles an hour. Under
the car and about foot above the rail,
and on either side Of the car, the same
height, are iron pipes 80 arranged that
the oil passing from them is spread in
an even sheet over the roatihed. The
pipes on the sides of the car extend
about 10 feet from the rails, and are 30
constructed that they can, at will, be
thrown under the car.
The preparation Of the oil and the ap-
par atus for spreading it are the inven-
tion of j. III. Nichul, assistant engineer
Of the West Jersey and Seashore rail
road, and have been patented by him.
While this is the first experiment on
the r., W. g. b. railroad between Bal.
timore and Washington, the use of oil
to destroy the nuisance caused passen
gers by dust and dirt has been under
going teHt on the Pennsylvania lines
running to the New Jersey seashoTe
where the dust causes the greatest an
noyanCe. and it is stated that the re-.
suits are highly satisfactory.
The spreader ia so constructed that
not particle Of oil falls on the rails
This, of course, must be the case, aH il
would he impossible for a locomotive
to haul its tram were the rails covered
with oil. The oil, il is said, is non
combustible, and there IL no danger
whatever from red hot cinders ana the
like causing fire.
Between 1000 and 5. BOO gallons Of OIL
IS required per milo of doubla track.
and it is claimed that ons application
will allay the dust and dirt for year.
The special car, which was in the =. +,
W. X u. yards in this city for few
days, has been sent down the road,
whore the experiment is to be made.
Should the experiment prove salts.
factory the tracks may be sprinklod
from New York to Washington.

the banks general assets instead OF
special security deposited with the gov
ernment. Both these reforms will come
in time. but perhaps not until the end
OF some new financial CONFUSION. The
temper of Congress at present is against
banks without regard to circumstances
This is shown by the fact that so sim.
pie and unobiectionable a measure as
allowing the national banks to issue
notes Up to the par value of their Sc
curity bonds cannot be passed. 1t Is
paradox, but it is true, that in bad
times when we need banking reform we
cannot get it, because the banks are
held responsible for the bad times.
Let US hope that when good times
come, when the pressure is removed,
there may be relaxation to the I'M
founded prejudice against banks, which
blocks all movements to make them
better. When that time comes it is
most probable that reform will follnw
the lines indicated by Mr.. Walker, e.,
branch banks and note issues against
general assets, coupled with such So
curity az experience has shown TO be
needful to protect the note holder
against loss.

ment, interesting ia itself, and forcing
into greater prominence their classic
outlines. The conditions imposed by
the purposes of the building preclude
the use of windows in the aide walls,
and, TO avnid the monntony Of unbroken
wall surfaces, the device of breaking
them with the sculptured border was
adopted as most suitable, and as giving
an opportunity to illustrate in sculp-
turesque manner, the minor arts. which
furnish the medium Of expression for
the higher art of architecture. The
sculptor is again called upon to crown
the pediments and thanking buttresses
with groups and figures representing
the various arts and holding nut for
those who win them, the embems Of
SUCCESS The domos are low and of
simple shape, but serve, together with
the sculptured figures, to give varied
and picturesque skyline and tittingly
crown the whole design. Thus in this
building ia attempted, not only the
proper housing Of tine works of art COL

His theory is 10 take steamship
from Baltimore to convey the party to
the Yukon river; also tn carry n Sec
tional steamer on tho large steamer,
which boat could be easily put to-
gether to he used in the rivers of
Alaska from the coast to the gold fields.
The cost Of transportation has boon
placed at $500 for each person. This
will include food and all other neces-
sary expenses MIR. Clark has secured
options on steamship from Baltimore
and also ona from Philadelphia on
which to transport party To Alaska
when suitable number il secured to
take the trip
lie has beun busy for the past three
weeks in making arrangements for a
party and thus far has had great sue
ceas. The trip will require about six
months. The small boat will be built
in Baltimore and it is now thought
that the party will be ready to leave on
October lst. William Il. Bolton and
Oscar S. Howard of this city have
agreed to 60 in this party.
