the people, for the people. and by the
people. in which all invidious class

buried and forgotten. for it is the party
of the masses. 1t is the antitheSis OF the
republican party. for that organlza-
ton believes in high taxation; that a
man can be made rich by taxing him
self: that taxation will give him labor
and high wages: or. in other words.
and using a homcly expression. that
he can lift himself by his boot straps.
1t is the party Of plutocracy: it believes

in invidious distinctions, and it can not
survive in its present form. or the
Republic will go down in hopeless
night
The democratic party, seeing the
error of it's ways under the leadership
of Grover Cleveland, has changed its
course and has now become the fast
friend Of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. Mr.. President, we well
come this long step inthe right direc-
ton, but the democratic party is very
far from being the populist party. 1t
has advanced to our position on the
national bank question. and yet it falls
short of reaching the high plane of
populism. I'VE believe that natural
monopolies, like railroads, telegraphs,
and telephones, must be owned and
operated by the government in the
| interest of the people. We believe
that United States senators should be
| elected by a direct vote. rather than
through the instrumentalty of the
| legislature, and that the initiative and
| referendum should be employed when
practicable. In these and other re-
spects the populist differs widely and
wisely from the democratic party.

Black Chalk.

1t is often extremely desirable to
obtain black chalk, and a simple proc
ess for preparing this useful article is
convenient to have in ones scrap book.
Take pulverized ordinary chalk and
mix it with strong decoction of log
wood. The addition either of chromate
of potassium or green vitriol solution
will cause the logwood to become in
tensely black. A pasty mass is form
ed that molds very readily into cray
ons or pencils, and these, when dried,
are fit for use. The addition of an ex-
tremely small amount Of gum Arabic
water is suggested, but the amount
must be so small as to be scarcely an
preciable, else the pencils will be so
hard as to be almost useless. For or
binary work on hard substances the
gum is desirable, but if the pencils are
wanted for paper or cardboard the
simple chalk and logwood solution will
give better satisfaction.

you populists propose to do, and what
do you want, anyway?
"The populist party wants, in the
first place, without delay and without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation. the free and unrestricted coin
age of gold and silver at the present
legal ratio. This has been discussed
so frequently in the public journals,
on the hustings, and in congress that
there is not much new to be said on it
so far as it's academic features are con-
cerned, but it involves the cumulative
theory of money, and 1 believe those
who oppose that theory have been
driven from the field of discussion and
defeated at every point. l think no
man lives or ever will live who can
demonstrate that the plutocratic theory
of money-nanely, that its value is in
the substance on which it is stamped
or prin ted-is correct. while 1 think
every school child IF intelligence and
of fair education can show that the
sole value of money, as money, is in
the Office or function of circulation and
exchange. But when the money func-
ton ceases and the substance enters
the commercial world, different rule
applies.
''The second proposition is that the
volume Of gold and silver coin should
be supplemented by full egal-tender
paper money issued directly by the
government, and that private associa-
tons should under no circumstances
be permitted to issue notes for circula-
ton, for if one should be given the
power, all should have it, and currency
would be issued without restriction and

Sound policy requires that the power
of issuing money, being sovereign in it's
nature, should remain in congress,
! Any Abandonment of the power by con-
stitution and be bound to lead to bad
results, and would, by giving the right
of sudden expansion and contraction,
| be used in the interests of the associa-
ton to whom it should be given, to the
injury of the people. The issuance of
bank notes costs every human being in
the United States annually cents per
head, and this tax is unnatural, unjust,
and inexcusable, and in a government
where conscience and justice are the
ruling motives of legislators could not
exist.
's.To permit national banks to issue
money is not only fragrant and mex
cusable abandonmentof the sovereign
power to issue money, but it places a
dangerous instrument in the hands OF
the few for their own pecuniary benefit

JUDGE ADJOURNED COURT.

Then Resumed His Place.

Then Resumed His Place,
Judge Wilson Hammock, who died at
Lebanon, Tenn, last February, was
among the most gifted men the state
ever produced, says the Glasgow Ky)
News. Unfortunately he became in
VOWED in quarrel during his early
manhood and took the life of a fellow
man. Although exonerated by the
jury, the intimate friends of the Judge
are inclined to the belief that his flu
ture life was, in a measure. controlled
by his early misfortune. However. if
man ever lived who enjoyed a fight
that man was Judge Hammock. He
bore no malice and no marks when
an ARRAY was ended, but fellow in
search of trouble never went begging
when the judge was in the commune
ty, and the same man never went in
search the second time. During his
term as circuit judge of the Huntsville
district wanton insult was given him
by an attorney at the bar. In an or
DERBY and quiet way Judge Hammock
ordered the sheriff to adjourn court for
two minutes. Then, walking outside
the rostrum, re picked up chair and
shattered it to pieces over the Offend
er's head. Call the court to order"
said he to the officer, and, resumine
his place on the bench remarked:

tom in the duchy of Lauenburg when q
person passes through a field where
the corn is being cut for the workers
to stop, bind few ears of corn to his

The old statesman and his son
Count Herbert, were driving unite
recently through the cornfields of Ris-
marck's Schonau estate, and thew
stopped to look at the men who we're
cutting the rye.
Hereupon the men threw down their
scythes, took up some stalks of the
rye, and going up to the two Ris-
marcks, courteously but resolutelv
fastened a small bundle Of rye to the
arms of the visitors. The man Of
blood and iron, who has a reverence
for old German customs, cheerfullv
paid for the ransom of himself and his
son with two gold coins.
Bismarck insisted in retaining the
signs of his bondage upon his arm un-
til he got home.

SENATOR ALIENS SPEECH
IN THE SENATE.
The Nebraska Senator Introduces a Rcso-
luton Providing for Free Coinage of
Silver and Makes "a Few Remarks in
Support OF the Same.

In lieu of my regular matter this
week present the following resolu-
ton, introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Allen, and quote u few extracts
from his speech in support of it. I.be-
lieve his remarks will show clearly the
advantages that would accrue to the
people under free silver. H. WIN. SMITH
The resolution it as follows:
Resolved, That the United States
should, without delay and without
waiting for the consent of foreign ma
tions, begin and thereafter continue
the free and unrestricted coinage Of
standard silver at the present legal
ratio Of 16 parts of stand ard silver to /
part Of standard gold; that such coin
age should be supplemented by safe
and sound national paper money, to be
issued directly by the government and
without the intervention of banks.
which should be full legal tender for
oil debts public and private, and should
be issued in an amount sufficient to meet
the demands of the business population
of the country and restore the just level
OF prices of labor and production; that
an increase of the public interest bear
ing debt should be prohibited, and no
government bonds should be issued or
sold except by specific act of congress
authorizing the same, and then only in
cases of pressing necessity; that all
laws authorizing individuals to demon
etize or discriminate against any form
OF money by private or special contract
should be repealed, and the govern
ment in the discharge of it's obligations
should use its option as to the kind OF
lawful money in which they are to be
paid, and such option should never be
surrendered to the holders of govern.

1.-THE volume of money should. of
course, as have said, be sufficient to
meet the business demands of the
country and to restore and maintain
the just level Of prices of labor and
production. 1nasmuch as population

81 regard it as a signal Of danger that
we have entered on the policy Of issu-
ing interest bearing obligations on ey-
cry conceivable occasion and pretext.
The fathers of our country warned us
against a perpetual national debt, for
debt is human bondage, and those who
are obliged to pay it are slaves. They
may assemble and resolve that they
are free, but they are bondslaves until
the debt is paid, and the government,
like prudent individual, should get
out of debt as speedily as possible and
remain out. 1t would be useless to
point out that the government interest

the close of the war has cost the peo-
pie, in their labor and productions. owe T.
100000 thus far and yet we have
a thousand million dollars left. and
the administration and Mr.. Gage, the
secretary of the treasury, would have
us increase this interest bearing debt
to thousand million more, the inter
est charge to the people under such
circumstances being S60,OO0,O 900 an
nually.
s'There is no law in the statute
books authorizing the issuance of gov
eminent bonds and every such obliga-
ton issued under the administration
of Grover Cleveland is ipso facto null
and void for want of authority, and
would be SO declared by any court hav-
ing the moral courage to administer
the law as it exists.

in this nation are not all patriots. !

money if he is honest and patriotic.
He may do so and be an excellent citi-
zen, and if he is, l would say naught
to his discredit, but the rule is that
such men know no nation, no patrio.
ism, and but few have knowledge OF
any God save the gold they horde and
worship.
ct is the aim and purpose of the
populist party to change all these con
ditions and bring about different
condition of public affairs; it is the
aim and purpose of, that party to call
back the spirit of departed patriotism

TUNNELS UNDER STREETS.
How Sewers Are Laid Without Block
ing Traffic.

In the course of the improvements in
in 1894 to construct new main coll
Letting sewer from the Place de la
Trinite to the siphon which passes
under the Seine at Clichy. The large
size of the proposed sewer, known as
the "Collecteur de Clichy,' and the
fact that the route passed under i'm
portant and much-traveled streets,
filled with shade trees and carrying
tramWays, caused the authorities to
hesitate about cutting a trench for the
conduct of the work. 1t was therefore
decided to adopt a system of tunnel
ing, with such arrangement of shields
and supports as would maintain the
surface of the roadway intact and per-
NIT the entire work to be carried en-
below ground, although the top of the
sewer arch at places would come
within three feet of the surface. In
order to support the soil and the load
upon the superintendent roadway it
shield similar to that devised by
Brunei for the construction of the
Thames tunnel, and this shield was
followed by system of movable CEN
tiers or frames upon which the masonry
was constructed and supported. AS
there was no liquid mass to be en-
cOuntered the end Of the shield was
left open, the structure really forming
an elliptical ring of plate iron with
sharp edges, REINFORCED with angles
and braces and carrying six hydraulic
cylinders, by means of which it could
be forced forward. The rams of these
cylinders thrust back against the
masonry ring previously constructed
through the medium OF the metallic
centrings already mentioned, while
horizontal bucket conveyor kept the
space just back of the shield free from
earth as rapidly as the excavation
progressed. The interior of the tunnel
was kept we'll lighted by electricity,
and all motive power for ventilating,
hauling, pumping, ETC., was supplied
by electricity. The details were slight
ly different in the two portions of the
work, owing to the different depths
at which the tunneling was conducted,
but the general construction was prac-
tically the same.
BY the use Of this apparatus a sewer
of 2Oxl6 feet was thus successfully
built for distance of more than two
miles under one Of the busiest portions
OF Paris, the work progressing con-
| tinuously at the rate of about six
lineal yards in twenty-four hours,
without causing the slightest obstruc-
tion TO travel and without deranging
the surface paving. The contract price
was about $500 per lineal yard, includ-
ing the construction of all the up
uaratus.
