"In the wood of Bilany." Stanislaus

spinsters Who Want Husbands Have
Good Chance in the Colonies.
The spinster who wants a husband
need only emigrate, for if all accounts
are true the different European colo
MES in Africa and Asia, as we'll as dis
tant regions In Canada, Australia and
Cape Colony, there are not enough wom-
en- to supply the demand for wives.
But when the societies that promote
the emigration of women to the col
onies send out party, the last thing
in their minds, apparently, is the bet
ter chance these women will have to get
husbands. They simply send women
who lack work to colonies that lack
women.
Their character and fitness for emf
grafton must be approved, and then
they are sent on the long journey in
the charge of matrons, who see to their
comfort and are responsible for their
safety until situations that will yield
them living are found for them.
The United British Women's Emigra-
ton association, the largest of all these
societies, would refuse to assist any
woman TO emigrate if she should openly
avow that she was seeking a husband
rather than opportunities for work.

Sudden Resolves Followed by Exc
cution in n Cold-Blooded Manner.
Suicide is developing strange forms
in Paris, reports the New York Sun.
A dressmaker was working with her
three assistants one evening recently,
when they began to talk of their
troubles, and three of the women, all
about 25 years OF age, coming to the
conclusion that life was not worth liv-
ing, decided to kill themselves at once.
The fourth, girl of 81, said that she
did not care to be left alone and would
die, too. They all wrote farewell let
tiers to their friends, sent out for bot
tie of cherry brandy and some char
coal, stopped up the openings into the
room, lit the charcoal and drank the
brandy. They were heard laughing
and singing until late in the night by
the neighbors, and all four were found
dead the next morning. A few days
before an actress in one of the minor
theaters, who was supping with three
female friends, told them that she
meant to kill herself. They discussed
the best means for accomplishing her
purpose and decided ON poison. She
went at once TO drug store and pro-
cured what she wanted, drank it in the
presence of her friends without inter
ference, and, after watching her con-
yulsions and seeing that the poison had
done its work, they called in a police
man and told him what had happened.

P1utocratic Wit.

The following from a plutocratic or
gan was rendered as wit:
Kansas will present to the King OF
Siam some corn stalks % feet long.
Why a state should raise such things
and Popnlists is one of those facts that
nobody can explain.
Considering that it raises such corn,
and numerous other products in pro-
portion, notwithstanding which its
people are unable by the utmost exer-
tion to live in even moderate comfort,
while the people who cultivate Wall
street, where they raise nothing but
schemes, are surfeited with luxuries,
it is to be wondered at that Kansas
raises anything 80 mild as Populist,
says the st. Louis Journal.
In this connection we submit to the
consideration of the organ for another
essay at a witticism the following from
the Belleville Record:
The fact that the grain spectators in
the cities can obtain $1.03 for their
wheat must be a source of consolation
to the husbandman who raises the
cereal, and is compelled to take for it
whatever he can get.

A New Earth.

Rev. Myron Reed Of Denver, in a .'e-
cent sermon on the text from Revela-
tion, "And I saw new heaven and a
new carth." says:
All the prophets and poets have seen
the same thing. Isaiah looked forward
to an utter change in the face of the
earth and of the hearts of the people
Of the earth. Robert Burns saw
a new earth and SO did Alfred Tenny.
son when he was young. Plato looked
away from the decaying world around
him and saw Atlantis. Sir Thomas
Moore, about to suffer death, was writ
ing Utopia" There ought to be A
new earth and what ought to be will
be. No one will assert that this is the
ideal social system-this one that we
are living in. Isaiah would not be sat-
isfied with it. It is makeshift. We
have sent money and sympathy. to Ire
land, and that was right and effective,
But in 1895 there were more than 23.-
900 evictions in New York city. That
means more than 100000 people turned
out Of doors. That is to say. in one
American city the evictions, as COM
pared with Ireland, were more than
four to one.

One Of the striking instances of the
effect Of business mems thought was
the Sherman act Of 1890, by which, az
cording to later developments, the
government stamped its mere promises
to pay gold upon material costing a
half a thousand millions. What would
be thought of the business man who
would write promissory note upon
parchment costing 500 per square
inch? Such an act would not be more
absurd than the act OF the United
States government in 1890. And yet
John Sherman is the idol Of business
men."--Nebraska Independent,
The Louisiana populist., 1897-07-23

The figures cover a period of six and
a half years or from Oct. 1, 1890, to May
!, 1897. The highest index number is
that OF Oct. l, 1890, being 114.171. From
that point there was a steady decline
of two or three points every two or
three months, until, on Jan. 1, 1893, the
low point of 90.797 had been reached.
The next quotation following that is
Of April 1, 1893. Cleveland had been
inaugurated March preceding, and
with him had come a Democratic house
and senate. The country, which had
voted for a departure from the Re-
publican financial policies which had
forced low prices and their consequent
industrial prostration, had taken cour-
age and prices advanced. The figure
representing prices at the beginning of
April. 1893. was 1o1.7e0, a gain Of more
than eleven points above the figures at
the beginning Of that year, showing
the effect Of the popular belief that a
sweeping change Of policy was to come
in with the new administration.
How the country was disappointed is
too recent history to need retelling
here. Before Cleveland had been in Of
flee two months it was known that his
financial policy was that Of the Re-
publicans, with the addition that sill
yer was to be still further degraded.
Carlisle began redeeming all govern.
ment obligations in gold. The silver
bullion in the treasury remained un-
coined. And congress, under the lash
Of patronage, gave no sign of effective
resistance to the Wall street conspir-
acy.
|. Then the reaction set in. Between
April l and July l, 1893, prices dropped
from 1917 to S5.2S9. and from there
the drop has been continuous, with
one or two exceptions, as unimportant
as they were transient, until the latest
marking, that of May /, 1897, less than
a month ago. was 74.193.
And the bottom is not yet reached.
The tendency is still downward. Some
day historian will write the record of
this crime in burning words. Until
then we have these figures to tell the
history Of the ruin Of people.

Men and Pigs.

In an imaginary community Of pigs
described by Carlyle, one of the chief
rulers was asked, what is justice!''
The answer was: "Your own share OF
the general Swine's-trough, not any
portion Of mine" "But what is my
share?" my share" answered the
chief pig, "is, on the whole, whatever
I can contrive to get without being
hanged or sent to the hulks." Some
people are cruel enough to believe that
there are communities of men where
this same sort Of philosophy obtains!

ielS nave Deeu udue lue original equity
as to mode of payment has followed it
into the hands of the transferees. The
debtors are the taxpayers Of the diff
ferent nations. Any legislative or ad-
minlstrative action which has increased
the burthen of its discharge has been
fraudulent, no matter under what form
it may have been disguised. Now, l
ask the reader to pause and try to COM
prehend the immensity of the sum rep
resented by these figures. The annual
interest upon this amount, even at
three per cent, Is s66O,OOO, ,0OO-in itself
an expression battling adequte concep-
tion of its full import. Twenty-Five
billion dollars is more than five times
the amount Of the whole worlds stock
OF gold coin and bullion. And yet this
vast sum is only the amount of actual
profit to be realized by the holders of
this one class of securities if the plot
to destroy silver as standard money
can be carried to completion. What
ever may be said as to other indebted
ness, there is as to this no chance for
even quibble respecting the time and
circumstances of it's contraction
Every dollar of 1t originated under a
double standard and it Is a travesty
on equity to double or in any way in
crease its burthen by requiring it to
be paid under single standard Of
gold. I might stop right here and con-
IDENTIFY claim that the falsity of the as
sumption with which am dealing had
been demonstrated. This aggregate Of
national Indebtedness constitutes near
ly one-half of the total amount due
upon secured interest bearing obliga-
tiOns, which alone deserve considera-
tion in this connection. When it is
shown that as to one-half of the in
debtedness involved in the inquiry the
claim of equity through contraction un-
der gold standard is deprived of any
semblance of validity, that would seem
to be sufficient to constitute an estop-
pei against it's further assertion. II
there were no other debts in the world,
this alone would brand the scheme to
change the standard of value as the
most stupendous crime ever contem-
plated against humanity. If bondhold-
ers can, without consideration, by mere
manipulation Of political agencies, add
to the value of their securities 22,000,-
100000, then others somewhere, and in
some way, must suffer crorrespond-
ing loss. 1t makes no difference how
widely the loss may be distributed, it
Is still fact, and In its consequences
fearfully momentous fact, that what
the bondholders dishonesty gain other
classes must unjustly lose. The world
is not wide enough that this mountain
of $4,000, 100000 of unearned, law
made Indebtedness can be piled as an
additional burthen upon its industry
without the universal oppression of its
wealth-producers wherever situated.
The tax-ridden people Of Europe have
the same, perhaps stronger, interest to
rebel against this diabolical scheme as
ourselves, but their efforts for redress
are handicapped by monarchical insti-
tutions and standing armies. Relief,
il 1t Is to be had. must come from the
intelligent citizens of the United States
who still retain the power of a free
ballot. C. ]. HILLYER.
