SOLDIERS HOME BOARD.

Last week the second meeting for The
year of the board of directors of the
Soldiers Home was held at the Homo
from Wednesday until Friday after.
noon.
The entire board was present. Sec
retary Van Osdel was accompanied by
his wife, and Col. Dewey by his only
daughter. The ladies had never visited
the Home before.
Commander and Mrs. Linn have been
long enough 10 the Home to demon.
strate their ability and fitness for the
arduous positions that they were elected
to.
Mrs. Linn is model housekeeper and
a lady of rare taste. the effect Of which is
everywhere seen, while she has the rare
gift of executive ability.
The Col. has continued the battle that
Lucas and Megrew bagan-for sobriety
in the home among its members. Ninety
per cent of the members are sober and
gentlemanlv and they ask why should
our lives befmade miserable by the other
tenth? And the management answers,
you shall not be made mlserable--if we
discharge them all. If men love whiskey
better than they do a good home let them
have the whiskey and provide their own
home.
One of the great necessities always
has been for water on the Home grounds.
To provide this, more than year ago
an artesian we'll was begun. Itis down PA
feet and is now IN waterbearng rock and
appearances indicate that there will soon
be plenty of good water on the Home
grounds-ready for use on emergen-
cies.
The new members of the board,
Messrs. Van Osdel and Guderson are both
successful business men and are
valuable reinforcements to the board.
There are now 169 on the rolls and
thirty more applications have been &C.
cep,ed. So that the Home bids fair to
have larger family than ever before
when winter sets in.
On the whole everything is satisfac-

The CAUSE OF WANT.
The Finances of the Nation in the
Hands of the Money Power
Causes Want and Misery.

John G.. Brooks recently talked at
Berkeley Lyceum on social problems and
gave the startling fact that there are at
present go, 900 tramps, which he consid
cred one Of the most dangerous features
of our social system. The Hermit
replies, the public will agree with him,
but the question remains, how are we to
get rid of them? The tramp is really
the derelict on the ocean. drifting with
out purpose and always liable to inf1lct
damage. The derelict at first was useful
vessel, but became wreck and then be-
gan its aimless cruise, with no port in
view. So with the tramp and what a
sad condition for any member of the
human family! Now would ask, who
made the tramp, and whence came he?
Echo answers, our government. How?
Through its voters placing in power
those who give us unrighteous and
unjust laws, pouring the wealth Of the
nation into the laps Of the few. and
robbing the hopest tollers and wealth
producers of the nation of their libelty,
with starvation prices Producing want,
misery and crime. and leading to every
conceivable evil that flesh is heir to,
Who were the leaders in this iniquity :?
The liquor dealers, Wall street bankers
and shylocks aided by British gold.
When was the tramp born? Before ans.

visited this country and when in Boston

For three score years our proud bird"
had SCARED defiantly over the sacred
temple of our liberty. The American
laborer was prospective lord. He had
within his reach home of plenty for
his family and om:ort for himself in old
age. Inspired with hoIe and industry,
he was peaceful, sober and respected
citizen, but today hope has died out of
his bosom and he is drifting he knows
not where When was the tramp born?
February 25, 1862, when that infamous
exception clause was placed on the
greenback, which Thad Stevens declared
was the irst victory Of the money power
over this nation, but he did not mature
until 1878. What effect was produced
by this clause on the greenback? 1t
put the finances of the nation in the
power of the money kings, or rather
gave them corner on the govern
ment.
The next scheme was the national
banking system in 1868 which stands
prominent as the most va'lalnous ever
practiced upon any people, scheme
which none but the wealthy are able TO
engage in or enter upon this profitable
banking business and no man who loved
his neighbor as himself would ever desire
to. Are there none eft among US to
plead the cause Of the wealth producers,
the honest toilers and make the road to
as easy for the humblest as
the wealthiest citizen? The third scheme
was contracting the currency by destroy
ing the green back. In pursuance OF this
plan, an act April 12. 1866. was passed
regular cremation Of green-
backs should take place. This gave

AS an echo Of the HaZleton strike

verdict OF the coroner's Jury. The six
jurymen could come to no agreement,
save that there was a killing Of miners
on September 10. Further than this
they could not 60 together. Two Of
them gave it rs their supplemental yer.
dict that the killing was necessary, that
there was such strong suspicion of un-
lawful violence" (mark no overt act Of
unlawful violence is charged against the
strikers by even those who coudemn
them) as to have fully warranted the
sheriff and deputies in making the
attack. The other four Jurors found and
SO declared in their supplemental verdict
that the miners were 'marching peace
ably and unarmed on the public high.
way; that they were intercepted by the
sheriff and his deputies and merciessly
shot to death. And we further find that
the killing was unnecessary and could
have been avoided without serious in

we further find finally. that the killing
was wanton and unjustifable.'" AS the
sheriff and his deputies have already
been arrested. given their preliminary
hearing before two judges sitting at
Wilkesbarre as justices of the peace, and
held for trial on the charge Of man
