Thirty years ago this country was

Mr.. Finerty discussed the trust ques-
ton at length, and dwelt upon the
danger of the great combinations that
have crushed competition. Mr.. Bryan,
he said, had spoken no truer words
than when he declared that Il continu-
ance of the Republican party in power,
with it's policy towards the trusts,
meant that our children had no future
before them but perpetual clerships
and labor. He declared, Impressive
ly, that, although a lifelong pro.ec-
zionist, he would favor putting every
trust-madesarticle on the free list. He
also declared himself in harmony with
the Democratic plank fayoring the
election of United States senators by
the people, for that, he said, would
mean that the red flag would never
again be hung out by a legislature to
signify that Il senatorship was up for

The Poor Mans Burden.

Pile up the poor mans burden
The weight of foreign wars.
Go shrewdly yoke together
i Great Mercury and Mars,
And march with them to CONQUEST
AS once did ancient Rome
With vigor on her borders
And slow decay at home!
Pile up the poor mans burden!
Accept Great Britain's plan
She does all things for commerce
Scarce anything for man!
Far off among the pagans
She seeks an open door
While pity cries in London
God help the British poor!'
Pile up the. poor mans burden
His sons will hear our call;
Will feed the jungle fever
And stop the Mauser ball;
Will fall far off, unnoted,
For spoils they may not share,
And spill their blood to water
y laurel here and there!.
Pile up the poor mans burden;
Keep in the old, old track!
Let glory ride, as ever,
Upon the toiler's back;
Lay tax on tax upon him,
Devised with subtle skill
Call forth his sons to slaughter
And let him pay. the bill!
Pile up the poor mans burden!
The lords of trade, at least,
May drink, like King Belshazzar,
In comfort at the feast;
May boast, as did the monarch
Within his palace hall,
While God wrote out his sentence
In fire upon the wall?

THE CAMPAIGN
Greatest Possible Earnestness and En-.
thusiasm Among the Reform Forces.
Reform Press Bureau,
ST. Paul Oct. %. 1900.

81. uul, OCI.
The reform forces are making very
satisfactory and encouraging campaign
throughout the state The redoubtable
General Apathy, Of whom we hear so
much, has failed to get even within
gunshot of our meetings. The grentest
possible earnestncss and enthusiasm
has prevailed everywhere and gives us
the best possible assurance for the out
come Mt the polls on Nov. 6.
Governor Lind has been speaking in
Il great many counties ana he has al
ways drawn large audiences. His
clear, earnest, concise exposition OF
national and state issues, has made
him hosts of new friends wherever he
has spoken and has strengthened the
old ones. The people see in him more
than ever the champion of their inter-
ests and of their rights, the opponent
of dishonest corporations and grasping
syndicates.
Thomas J. Meighen. Democratic
Peoples candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. has also been making hosts Of
friends. His active and efficient work
as a member of the state board Of
equalization in forcing certain corpora
tons and syndicates to bear their hon.
est share of the burden of taxation, Is
becoming better known and making
friends for him every day.
The confidence which the laboring
men have in NJ. Il. Neary, Democratic
Peoples candidate for secretary of
state. and which they have in former
times expressed by electing him to po-
sitions Of trust and honor in their or
CARNATIONS, has been growing con-
stnntly and will make him Il strong
candidate with the people throughout
the state.
The large circle of friends which
Henry @. KOerner, Democratic Peoples
candidate for state treasurer, has in
every county in Minnesota, gives him
an advantage such as few men possess.
In every county of the state Mr.. Koer-
ner has personal friends, irrespective
of party, that will stand by him and
work for his election and the election
Of those on the state ticket with him.
The reputation which Robert G.
Saunders, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS candi-
date for attorney general. has won as
an attorney in advancing the rights OF
the people and enforcing the laws OF
the state. especially in the enforce
ment Of taxes against standing pine on
exempt land grants, is appreciated by
voters, irrespective of party, and
makes him Il tower of strength for the
entire state ticket
Among the things to which the pres
ent administration points with special
pride, and which more than anything
else has proven it to be the friend of
the people of the state, the champion
Of their interests and welfare, there is
none which deserves greater praise
than the work Of the present railroad
and warehouse commission. p. NJ.
Ringdal and 7. J. Knox are members
of this commission. They have reduced
the freight on grain from large Sec
ton of the state to the markets. This
reduction will save the farmers Of
Minnesota about 100000 per year.

Beers NOT DEFEATED.
Can Keep Up the Fight Forever, Says
-, Colonel Lynch.

Colonel Arthur Lynch, who went
to South Africa to report, the war,
but got so carried away by his SYM
pathy for the Beers that he Joined
their army and was placed at the
head of their second Irish brigade,
has returned to this country.
When seen by reporter, and asked
for his opinion on the present situa-
ton in South Africa, the Boer ally
replied, in effect, that America was
much deceived in thinking that Eng
land is definitely victorious in her
"crime of aggression against the
South African republics.
"To begin WITH" he said,~"I am
confident that the Beers have been
vigorously fighting up to the present
time, but the news all coming through
English agencies, we have been care
fully misinformed as to the events.
The Beers, with their present meth
DDS Of fighting, are unconquerable,
and can hold out forever. a
SO Kruger, moreover, is not running
away, and it is monstrous calumny
to accuse him of cowardice. can
bear personal testimony that after tile
relief of Ladysmith he wished to take
his rifle and go to the fighting line to
encourage his burghers. State Secre-
tary Reitz told me that he and his
colleagues had the greatest difficulty
in restraining the President from this
unwise, though courageous action.
"As for the continuation of the
struggle against Great Britain" said
Colonel Lynch, General Botha him
self told me he would keep on fighting
as long as 500 men would follow him.
General Smutz, a man so years of age,
with large family and high social
position, told me that rather than live
at home and submit to British rule
he would take to the bush and live by
hunting.
Serious international problems are
also to be solved before the annex
alton of the Orange Free State to
England can be effected. The great
crux of the whole question is: Will
the powers consent to the ratification
of this great crime" 1 am well ac-
quainted with the feeling in France
and in Germany, and think Great Brit
ain still has serious diplomatic diff
culties before her. That annexation
will definitely injure the trade Of
France, and. have been informed by
the best authorities that the question
of interference has been seriously de.
batcd between France and Germany,
but the Kaiser stood out, owing, prob
ably, to n secret agreement with Eng
land. i.
ut is clear to me that England
made great mistake in the recent
violent measures, copied after Weyler.
There was time when the concilia-
tory action of Lord Roberts led some
Beers to think that they might be able
to endure British rule. But. Roberts
had to give up his own policy, because
he was overruled by Chamberlain, and
that statesman has sown seeds of race
hatred that will eventually cost Eng
land all South Africa.
MY impression is that the result
will be in the end the same as if this
war had not been waged, and that
within a generation the Africander
hostility to England will bring it's nat
ural result in the formation of Unit
ed States of South Africa"

Iron Mills Close Down.

New York, April 17.--John w. Gates
of the American Steel and Wire Com.
pany says that twelve mills in the con-
stituent companies have been shut
down. They are at Pittsburg, Cleve-
land. Joliet, Waukegan, Illinois; De-
Kalb, Illinois: Newcastle, Indiana, and
Anderson, Indiana.
Mr.. Gates said the cause of the clos
Ing down of the mills was over-produc-
ton. He was unable to state when the
mills would resume operations, as they
first would have to ascertain the ex-
tent of the oyer-production. When
asked as to his views as to the trade
situation and outlook, Mr.. Gates stat
ed that the shut down of the mills was
the best evidence Of the current situa-
ton.
Mr.. Gates made another statement
later, in which he said the twelve mills
which had been closed had n daily ca
pacity Of from 5000 to 1000 tons. He
said slack business was an additional
reason for the suspension of opera
tions. The best information is that the
mills will be closed indefinitely. -Four
thousand men, boys and girls will be
affected by the shut down.

CHAPTER vi.


Now when the sun began to sink
toward the west, Namarah called to
her maidens. and arrayed herself in
garments richly wrought and beauti-
full, as one that keepeth great feast
Her robe was all of white, embroid-
cred with gold, and the encrusted folds
fell heavily about the splendid curves
of her most noble figure. In her loos-
ened hair were twisted chains OF gold
that wrapped 1t in and out, and made
a light and darkness beautiful to see
About her shoulders, which her robe
left bare. she wrapped scarf of
golden tissue, through which her
cleaning neck and arms shone fair as
moonlight seen through sunbeams.
And when the maidens and all the
household Of Jephthah wondered to see
her SO adorned. she spake, and said
unto them:
Il go to meet my father Jephthah
and his host returning from victory"
And when they asked her: -
How knowest thou that he hath
won the day, and is returning?"
She made answer, as the saying was:
"A little bird hath told me-"
And they knew not how true indeed
were the words she spake.
And as the sun sank lower and lower
and it began to draw toward evening,
behold, there fell upon the ears Of Ma
marah and her maidens the distant
sound OF tramping horses and anon
the notes of trumpet
"They be notes of victory; even as
thou hast said," spake one of the maid
ems, while Namarah stood and listened,
breathless and half troubled, like an
image of too perfect joy. And Mama
rah said:
Il will even go forth to meet them"
Whereat her maidens wondered, for
1t was her custom to await her father
within the house. feeling of timidity
ever preventing her from appearing
before the eyes of the soldiers. But
now there showed in all her bearing
a very noble pride, SO that she looked
no longer shy and trembling maiden,
but woman and the daughter Of a
conqueror. There was most rich
hue OF roses on her cheeks, and her
great eyes blazed and sparkled, SO that
Namarah looked that day a being of
such glorious beauty as none who
looked on her had ever seen before.

Come back to me In peace and tri-

And then, when Adina had taken
the dove from her. she realized that
the moment Of parting was come, and,
with a great wave OF love and tender
ness and longing sweeping over her,
she gave herself into her lovers arms
to receive his last embrace.
Solemn and sweet and silent 1t was,
there in the holy moonlight; and when
at last she raised her head to speak,
there were brave words on her lips.
Thou knowest the meaning OF our
city's name" she said. Take 1t for
an omen to comfort thee and rest thy
heart, and will even rest SO on it,
too"
yea, know It," he answered; then
kissed he her once more. and murmur-
ing the word "Aflzpeh!" between his
half-parted lips, he turned and left
her alone.
