OUR PREDICTION.

The prediction that THE DAWN.
is now going to MAKE, will perhaps
surprise some, but to some it will
be no surprise at all. 1t is this:
Inside of five years, the railroads
of the United States will discharge
all or practically all the white men
in their employ and hire in their
stead Japanese laborers. Last
year they were used as section
hands as an experoment and this
year they are being used as section
hands almost exclusively, white
men being retained only as fore
men. The Northern Pacific, it is
estimated is now using 400 or
more on track work, comparatively
no white men are employd in the
construction work. The O. R. & N.
are using a large number of ia
panese on the section work, while
the Great Northern is reported as
using fully Zoo or even more, and
that system is rapidly replacing
white men with japanese. The
only excuse given by these soulless
corporations for the employment
Of the Japanese and the discharge
of the white men is, tnat japanese
are less independent and make
better slaves-they don't go on a
strike or work a few days and then
call for their money. This sub
stitution of cheap foreign labor for
American labor is as sure to cause
trouble on this cost as time lasts.

Important Facts.

that there are 4,761 ,l79 families
who live on farms and 1892 973
who do not.
10 1880 three-fourths OF the fam
lilies who live on farms owned their
homes: in 1890 two.thirds.
Thus it will be seen that accord
ing to government figures, over
400 900 families, living in the
country had lost their homes with
in ten years.
Out of every loo farm families
only AZ own their homes free OF
incumberance.
The larger the cities are, tie
greater the disparity between pov.
erty and wealth.
In cities of 100000 inhabitants,
land upwards only Is out of every
loo families own their homes free
of incumberance.
In New York SO families out OF
every loo hire their homes.
Only 7 families out of the loo
own their homes, and mortgages
rest upon 81 per cent OF the seven
homes.
In Boston 81 antilles out of loo
hire their homes; in Brooklyn the
same; in Cicinnati 80; in Chicago
II; in San Francisco IS; in Wash.
ington D. c., "a.
| In 1880, 25 per cent of the farms
were hired: the others we're worked
by their owners. In 1890, 56 per
; cent OF the farms were hired.
Thus the owners are swiftly be.
! coming tenants.
The average value of each in
numbered farm in the United
States is $3,444. The average in.
cumberance 81 ,224 and theannua
interest $87.
The average value Of each in
numbered home (other than farm
is S3, 25o: the incumberance 81, 293
and the same interest $50.
! The total interest charged for one
year upon these incumbered homes
and farms is 41,91o, loo.
The net value of each bale of
cotton this year is about $50, and
the size of the crop is about eight
million bales.
There fore it requires but a glance
at the figures to show that, sitter
paying the taxes on the land, the
entire cotton crop is is barely suffi.
cient to meet the interest charged
upon the mortgage debt of the
people.
Now, when you bear in mind
that the men who have to have to
hire homes, are in a worse fix than
those who own mortgaged homes,
and that there is large class still
more helpless than those who hire
homes, are in worse fix than those
who hire their homes the thought
will doubtless occur to you that the
most pressing of all inquiries just
now is this, how are the people
going to live?
Boundless wealth surrounds us;
natures lavish hand has bestowed
royal gifts upon US, the world was
never 50 plentifully supplied with
food, raiment and shelter yet the
lethargy of despair grows more
threatening every day, and the
wants of the human family get
farther away from the supplies
Gods bounty provided.
Why so?
Simply because our legislation
has been seized upon by the money
power and turned into weapon by
which the few can drive off the
many from a fair distribution of the
wealth which the labor of many
produced. Missouri World.

KENTUCKY
DEMOCRATS.
Goebel Nominated for Gov
ernOr.
BATTLE WAS long DRAWN OUT,
And COnsummate Skill Wins It-One of
Ever Held in Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, June 28.-Wm. Goe.
bel, who with an iron grasp has
ruled the Democratic State Conven-
ton since it assembled nearly week
ago, was tonight nominated for
Governor on the twenty-sixth ballot
after contest unparalleled in this
State for bitterness and determine
tion, or on the part of the winner,
for skillful manipulation.
The end of the long, exhausting
fight brought a reasonable degree of
harmony to the factions which have
been waging their fight relentlessly
and battled for over every inch of
ground.
The scene during the last ballot
was dramatic, trough not so exciting
as many in which the delegates had
participated.
A morning session of the conven-
ton was held at which six fruitless
ballots were taken. After a recess
until 3 O'Clock two more ballots were
taken with result almost exactly
like the first taken Saturday night.
This made twenty one ballots in all,
the last one resulting: Stone 1893,
Hardin 355, Goebel 338
At this point +. A. Gullion offered
resolution providing that after the
twenty-fifth ballot the hindmOst can
didate be dropped and not voted for
thereafter. The Stone and Hardin
leaders made another stand, but they
could not control their forces.
The resolution was adopted by a
vote of b72 to 500 and at 8 O'Clock the
twenty. third ballot was ordered.
This resulted: Stone $50, Hardin
346, Goebel 36l, John Young Brown
10, Judge Hazelrigg 4, scattering TO-
Twenty-fourth ballot-Stone 348
Hardin 36l, Goebei 346, Hazelrigg 10
Twenty fifth ballot-Stone $50
Hardin 378, Goebel 1888.
Under the resolution adopted by
the convention, Capt. w. J. Stone
having received the smallest mum
Der of votes, was dropped. Every
body was on the quivive and GOebel
and Harden forces nerved them
selves for the final struggle.
The roll cali began in silence, but
the Hardinites soon had a chance tC
display their enthusiasm.
The ballot was concluded will
difficulty and announced as follows
Goebel $780, Hardin 53l.
This provoked as much Oise al
any event of the convention, and
for the first time, nearly all the dele
gates joined in it.

RE-ENFORCEMENTS
FOR GEN. OTIS.
Ten Additional Regiments
to be Organized.
A LONG REPORT FROM GEN. OTIS.
His View of the Situation-Gen. Miller
Thinks 65 900 Men VIII BE Needed to
Quiet the Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, June "a That the
President may make prompt deter
mination of the number of volun-
teers to be sent to reinforce Gen.
Otis at Manila, the war department
is collecting data regarding former
officers and the method of securing
men for submission to him inme.
diately upon his return. 1t is evil
dent that the department is continu-
ing its work apparently with the
idea in view that ten regiments will
be organized in addition to the
three volunteer organizations which
Gen. Otis has been directed to form
from the men desiring to re. enlist
from the volunteers under orders to
proceed to San Francisco. The Off
GERS having the matter in charge are
figuring on the advisability of form
ing the proposed regiments of ten
companies of 100 men each or twelve
companies of 1913 men each, the
former idea being suggested by the
desire of the department to mini
mize the number of officers to be ap-
pointed.
Applications have been received
from regiments in all parts of the
country who desire to see service
under Gen. Otis. A reading of the
law shows, however. that the presi.
dent is not required to "call" fol
troops, but is authorized to "raise''
them, and he will take advantage OF
the authority by recruiting or by
pursuing the same course he did il
the case of the immune regiments
AS 1900 volunteers will be muster
ed out IN consequence of the return
of the Western regiments from the
Philippines and only about 2O,O0I
volunteers will be enlisted to tax,

additional general officers can b,
appointed.
