SOME OF THE RIDDLES.

In 1894 there were 21O railroads, en-
bracing 36,619 miles, or twenty per
cent Of the entire mileage of The coun-
try, in the hands of receivers. But
at the beginning of this year there
were only 80 roads in the hands of the
courts, operating 10,797 miles.
These figures reveal the fact that
121 bankrupt railroads have been talk
en- care Of by kindly government,
put once more on a paying basis, and
courteously handed back to the capi-
talists to be squeezed dry once more.
Such sympathetic paternalism!
Such watchful care over unfortunate
railroad-wrecking capitalists! Such
devotion to the welfare and regard for
the feeling of monopolists!
I believe that when railroad falls
into the hands Of receiver it should
at once be made a government road.
These government roads should reduce
the freight rates and passenger fares
until gradually every other road
would be unable to compete with
them, and would become the property
Of the nation.
Already at least 80 per cent of the
railroads should belong to the people.
This method would save the nation
from paying an enormous price for
the railroads and would be perfectly
in harmony with the methods employ
ed by the railroad corporations.
If Jay Gould and Jim Hill and j.
Pierpont Morgan had the legal right
to cut rates and ruin a railroad, in
order to absorb it, why does the same
right not belong to the nation?
If the rich corporations are allowed
to knock down and swallow the poor
er ones, why may not the government
also play the game of grab?
If the railroads have never cared
for the wishes or the welfare of the
people why should the people be 50

the railroads?
1t is also appropriate to ask why
the government should put a fallen
capitalist on his feet, while it keeps
a fallen workingman in the mire.
If a bankrupt railroad is put in the
hospital, and sent back to it's owner
cured and healthy, why are there no
hospitals for the bankrupt farms?
Why should a government which is
supposed to represent the whole peo-
pie grant special favors to the
wealthy, while it has no time to con-
slider the necessities Of the poor?
If it can provide profits for capital
lists, why can't it provide wages for
the unemployed?
These are some of the riddles that
the statesmen of today must answer,
if they do not wish to be thrown rude
ly out of office by an awakened" and
indignant nation.-Herbert w. Casson
in Coming Nation.

In Manila.

The following poem was clipped
from 'Frcedom'' a paper published
twice week in Manila, bearing date
of january is, 1899. Through the
courtesy of friend we have had the
pleasure of reading news direct from
the Philippines. Three papers are pub
lished in England in The city of Manila.
s'The American Soldier,'' which
claims to be the first American paper
in Manila, a weekly; ''Freedom,' pub
lished twice a week, and "rhe Manila
Times" published every day, Sundays
excepted. They all show good line
of advertising and are full OF
matter pertaining to the state of af-
fairs now existing in those islands.
If the Filipinos do not know how to.
govern themselves it will not take
them long to learn how. with such up
to-date newspapers in their midst:
I am weary, I am weary
Of Manila, dank and hot,
Where the very houses seem to
Fall to pieces with the rot.
Where the very Filipnos
Seem to tester with the heat,
And policemen melt to grease spots
At the corner of the street.
Take me back to home and mother,
Take me where I know I'll find
Natives who do not have shirt tails
Waving in the summer wind.
Where the people are not mixtures
Half and half, of ape and coon,
Take me there, oh take me quickly
For can't get there too soon.
Put me in Siberian salt mine
Make me brakeman on the cars,
Anything before pursuing
Further this pursuit of Mars.
And how, just dump me somewhere
Sling me off and dump me-well-
Any place where things are somewhat
Less like to the hobs of hell.

press satisfaction at the present political

The Alpha.


Ouray, Colorado, has recently eff
fccted a purely women's federal union
and the first one of the kin organized
in the United States, if not in the
world.
The object OF the Federal Union is
for the promotion, protection and gen.
eral advancement of the women wage
corners of the country. While the or-
ganization has taken root in Ouray, it
will undoubtedly spread throughout
the entire land, and more especially in
sections where the laboring classes pre-
dominate. Like all other federal un-
icns, it takes into membership all
workers unattached from national un-
icns, and members Of different trades
and occupations whose numbers are
not sufficient to guarantee the organ-
ization Of local trade union. The I'M
ion here embraces all lines of wage
workers in it's membership, including
the county superintendent of shoots,
school and music teachers, stenograph-
ers and typewritists, salesladies, house
work girls, mattresses, boolkeepers and
some of the leading ladies of the town,
whose only claim to labor is in their
own homes, have identified themselves
with the union and are among its most
active and enthusiastic workers.
Realizing the depressed and unor-
ganized condition of the women wage
earners, the. idea Of a federal union
for their protection first presented it.
self to Mrs. Isabel Moore, county sup
erintendent of schools; Mrs. Anna
Derry, postmistress, and Mrs. Clara \.
Corson, a local teacher of music.
They formulated plans for such an
organization, and with the assistance
of Mrs. Ella Alexander, who interview
ed the women wage-earners of the city,
were able at the first meeting held to
enroll 112 charter members. Several
speeches were made by prominent men
and women, explaining the proposed
federation, and great enthusiasm was
manifested.
1t is the intention of the members
of the local union to interest the wo-
men wage-earners of all neighboring
towns in the Importance Of the wo.
mans federal union, and within few
weeks extend this bond of fraternity
through that entire section of the
country.
In al interview Mrs. Moore, the vice
president, saaid:
eve chose the name \lpha for our
! union because il is the first wolnan's
federation of the kind ever organized
in the United States. The omega will
not come until it has encircled the
globe and every woman wage-earner in
the world is bound by its fraternal ties,
''It is the mission of this union to
look after the welfare of strange wo-
men coming into our city in seach OF
employment. We will mot only assist
them in securing work, but will give
them the protection of the union dur
ing the search and after they have Sc.
cured employment.
''The prime object of this federation
however, is in a general way to advance
and educate women wage-earners. The
emoluments of labor in many lines are
disgracefully meager and what we pro
pose is to have the reward commensur-
ate with the labor performed
