The Coal Fnmine Abroad.

Washington. April Traditional
Information has been furnished the
state department relative to the exist
ence OF serious coal famines In Rus
sia and Germany. Consul General
Guenther. at Frankfort, writes that
never before In the history OF Germany
has there been such a demand upon
the coal production of the country as
at present, and the amount on hand IS
entirely inadequate. In Russia about
the same conditions exist as to the
scarcity of coal, the supply being
enormously large, but still not large
enough.

The Increase of Immigration.

New York, April 1.-THE increase
IN the immigration to this country has
been particularly noticeable In the
past month, when the number OF i'm
migrants ticketed through to western
points has assumed large proportions.
The business at this period in 1890,
1891 and 1892 was larger than II has
been so far this year. On one day last
week. when several steamers arrived,
the total number Of immigrant ar
rivals was 300. or this number, how
ever. only LOO went to western points.
OF these 900 went no further than Buff
falo and Pittsburg points, and about
460 had tickets for points beyond those
places and Chicago.

has not been killed by driving over
the bluff long before this. The road
supervisor has been endeavoring to
get the settlers along the road to do
nate work on the road ana at the same
time pay heavy taxes to keep up
roads. This locality has been sadly
neglected in the way of apprOpria-
lions for roads, when the fact that
about thirty settlers in the vicinity of
Swan lake have made final proof on
their land and the Northern Pacific
also has considerable land here, on
| all of which taxes are being paid is
onsidered. Another fact spoken of S
that there are over 40 electors who
are registered in the locality.

the head of the lake, has gone to

panied by Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Elkins,

What is wrong with that clause
in the Independent Democratic reso-
lutions referring TO the three repub-
licans and one democrat, who betray-
| ed their constituents, by selling their
| votes to Clark, also that clause call
| ing on John Geiger to resign his seat
| in the state senate. to which he was
never elected.
No one has had the audacity so
far to say that the charges preferred
against these traitors by the hide
| pendent Democrats are false. The
only thing that men who uphold these
bribers and traitors say is that there
are bad men in both parties. What
honest man will uphold a self-confess-
ed criminal because some dishonest
man states that Clark does not APP
prove of crime. All admit that a
crime has been committed and that
one w. A. Clark is the principal Grim
inal. Vote for the criminal and APP
prove of the criminal and show that
you approve of dishonesty.
