Some Truths.

So many ladies on coming here are disap-
pointed at first about the bill of fare that the
pioneer stage forces on us. They have read
Belamy's Looking Backward and expect to
step right out of the world of competition in
to an ideal city, mingle with people who are
perfect in all respects. Our sisters outside
must remember we bring all our faults with
us and can't change our nature as we do our
dress. The first thing that some object to is
the distance from the living apartments to the
dining hall, especially those with small chill
dren and when it rains which it does nearly
all winter, it is not very pleasant. The
breakfast, (which is served at seven consists
of oatmeal and sugar, fried or steamed pota-
toes and gravy, and cereal coffee with milk,
lots of excellent bread, and hot biscuits once
or twice week.
Dinner is served at y o'clock and consists
of potatoes beans or peas, cabbage or krout
carrots, bread, tea or coffee. The vegetables
are seasoned with salt pork.
Supper is nearly the same: we have pies
once or twice week. hot rolls about the
same: no butter. and milk is scarce. Cows
are needed badly. Altogether a woman
coming here must make up her mind to grin
and bear much. We must live for the future.

EQUALITY COLONY
M0NAN'S COLUMN
All communications intended for this
column should be directed to Anna
Burgess, Equality, Washington.

At our last womans meeting we decided to
accept of the offer to conduct woman's
column in our paper having been informed
that our sisters on the outside would like to
learn something about domestic life at Equa-
lily. What has impressed me much is the
independence of our women We have equal
rights here, we vote as we please mot as our
husbands tell u.s. and this is because we are
economically free: what we earn is our very
own, consequently we have peace in the
family. Considering that we are thrown to-
gether here in such haphazard way, from
almost every state in the union, | think we
get along remarkably well. OF course we
have discussions, disputes, ETC., and so it
will be until we out-live the sefshness that
has been instilled into us under competi-
tive system. If our sisters who are out in
world of competition have encouraging
words for us we shall wei )me them.

Sash, Door and Blind Factory.

Although we have announced that the don
key engine fund is entirely sufficient to pay
for it, will still receive subscriptions
for it, We take it for granted that those
thus sending are simply willing to help furn-
ish whatever machinery we here on the
ground believe to be the most necessary.
Therefore we transfer all subscriptions to the
Factory Fund, with the understanding that
those who wish some other disposition of their
amounts may so notify u.s.

Mr. Chas. p. Jackson, of Sandusky, Ohio,

the lives of the pioneers and the givers bless

that thousands of our brothers and sisters
are upholding us by their thought, force and
brotherly solicitude
All the way from Arkansas comes a sack of
popcorn for Xmas which was grown by three
little sisters for their brothers and sisters in
Equality. When our children learned the
above facts they clapped their hands, gave a
happy shout and then voted thanks to Nellie,
Willie and Jessie SHELTON, who were kind
enough to remember little Equalityites.
II a slight misunderstanding has arisen in
regard to the machinery fund. Subscribers
were told that if they did not choose to place
their amounts in the fund to be drawn back
according to the printed agreement, then
they could have it credited on their men,
berahip fees. But this must not be con-
strued 10 mean that the installment on fee
must then be used in the machinery fund.
All membership fees received here, as such,
will be used to our best judgment; but sub
scriptions to the machinery fund so specified
and not credited on membership fees will of
course be strictly used for machinery and
paid back according to agreement.
A laundry equipment has become an abso
lutte necessity at Equality, and it would
afford us pleasure. to get into commurIca-
ton with some one who has a good second
hand appliance. We think it possible hat
we could make some arrangement with s-me
holder of such machinery whereby all Of us
would be greatly benefited. Will all com
rades and friends kindly aid US in search
for the above-described machinery?

in futile attempt at subjugation shall
not be loaded upon the co.ony seeking
freedom. Finally, they affirmed their
right TO inquire as 70 the destination of
moneys raised by pledging the Philippine
revenues.
All this proposed a discussion of the
main question, but in their next memoran-
dun the American commissioners will go
10 the vital point. Definite notice will be
given that the United States will take over
all the Philippines, and Spain will unques-
tionably learn the terms from which there
will be no deviation. 1t is more than like
ly that the Americans will fatty summon
Spain to effect Immediately amicable ad-
justments.
Should she refuse to make treaty ced-
ing the Philippines to the United states,
the instant alternative for America will
be the conquest of that territory at an
increased cost to Spain in the final set
tlement, and possibly with loss of life.

morning extracts from the advance sheets
of the first part of Comte Esterhazy's book,
entitled "LAfaire Dreyfus," in which the
writer declares himself the victim of NJ.
Cavaignac (recently minister of war),
whose enmity for him, he says, arises from
the fact that their fathers were political
enemies.
Esterhazy reasserts that he was the
tool of the general staff, that it was the
general staff who always dictated his con-
duct; that by their orders he struck Lieut..
Col. Picquart, and that it was the gen
eral staff who selected his seconds when
he challenged Col. Picquart and furnished
him with exceptional and irregular
means of defending himself.
He left France, he asserts. ito escape

Washington, Nov. 1s.-The Anglo-Amer-

day, but the two sides held separate con-
ferences, for the purpose of arranging
their data for the next joint session on

Reciprocity continued to be the main
subject of discussion, and II was under

considerable attention. 1t is probable that
lie present lists in tariff acts of Canada
and the United States would be incorpor-

may be reached, and il is pointed out by
members of the commission that this will
be important in giving these free lists a
permanent form as PARIS of q treaty, rath-

the present free lists. Efforts are being
made to extend these lists as far as possi-
