The sanest casuist must sometimes
pause for the purpose of getting his
bearings. We are enjoined from the
pulpit, forum and bench to observe the
law; all the intricate and Machivellian
machinery of the courts is set in force
against the man who Stays his fellow
man. Murder is the superlative iniquity
as compared with other crimes We
visit the vengeance of an outraged pub
lie on the unfortunate wretch who in
a fit of passion, strikes down his enemy;
then jury Of his peers sit in judgment
upon the offender, and with the aid of a
judge, decree that he shall be electro
cuted, hanged or imprisoned for life.
All our criminal laws are framed for the
purpose Of restraining the individual
from preying on or interfering with the
persons or property of his fellow man.
And yet, III spite of all this, govern
ments arrogantly declare wars of con-
quest against their neighbors, and pro-
coed to set aside, in it's prosecution, all
laws, human and divine. Our sons are
invited to arouse themselves, to rally at
the call to arms, to leave their peaceful
homes, the workshop and the farm, to
go abroad on an GRAND worse than high
way robbery to seize the land of an
alien people, whose worst crime is that
they prefer to govern themselves, in

keepers departments.
Several times he stopped, retraced
bis footsteps to some particular point
and then began his search anew. At
times he crawled about on his hands
and knees; at others he climbed upon
the furniture, the better to examine
some spot upon the wall. In the presi-
dents Office he stopped to pick up a
great number of tiny scraps of paper
which lay in and around the waste
basket. These he carefully placed in
an envelope, which he laid upon the
presidents table.
On one side Of the room there stood
. magnificent old-fashioned carved
mantelpiece. The artistic beauty of
the structure did not seem to strike
Sturgis, but he appeared to derive a
great deal of satisfaction from an in
spection of the large tiled hearth. Pres
entity, removing his coat and his cuffs,
he plunged his hand into the grimy
chimney and removed handful Of
root, which he examined carefully and
then threw away. He repeated the OPP
Grafton again and again, until at last.
with evident satisfaction, he picked out
q small object, which he deposited in
an envelope. Then, after washing his
hands in the clerks room. he passed in
to the cashiers department. In cor
ner stood the telephone closet, the door
of which was open. The receiver of the
instrument was down. The reporter
took it up and gazed at it long and ear
nestly.
Sturgis' examination of the bank
must have lasted over two hours. At
arst Richard Dunlap looked on with
mild curiosity, in which amusement
struggled with good-natured skepti-|
:ism. But as time wore on the banker,
began to show signs of impa thence.
and when at last Sturgis returned to
the private office and carefully depos-.
tied upon sheet Of white paper mis-
cellaneous assortment of tiny scraps
and shreds, the banker could scarcely
conceal his satisfaction.
'Well, Mr.. Sturgis." he said, II hope
you have nearly completed your inves-
tigation; for my leisure is not so abun-
liant that can afford to waste it like
this"

"But," he quickly added as he noted
Dunlap's impatient gesture, II think L

regretting has not been wasted"
The financier did not seem convinced
by this assertions; but he nevertheless
consented with an unwilling grace to.

ability.

is now of the past. His words will be
heard no more amid the councils of
men. How strange it all seems
Mr.. Donnellys life was busy one
a scholar, thinker and man of heart.
How we shall miss him and how we
needed him. Hereafter the Minnesota
delegation will be lacking one who al
ways led Alright and whose brain was
always equal to the emergency.
He has left behind him volumes
which tell the story of wonderful in
tellectual activity, great research, pro-
found thought such as has startled the
literati of the world, and coming gen.
erations will do him Justice
1t is said the Indians have a legend
that when the flowers fade in forest and
prairie their lost beauty is gathered in
the rainbow and glows in richer colors
than before.
Thus when the change we call death
approaches, we pass from mortal ex-
istence to one clolhed with a new and
richer life.
Mr.. Donnelly has finished his day =
work, but he has not finished his life.

The flowers fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours

We see the manufacturer of vehicles

Resolutions ON the Death of Ignatius
Donenlly.
Mr.. President and Members of the Cen
trail Labor Union of East Tennessee:
1t has been the custom from time i'm
memorial for civilized peoples to pay
tributes of respect to the memory of the
illustrious dead. This has not been con-
fined to nations and states of republi-
can government, but is faithfully OBJ
served by the mOnarchial as we'll. Each
great actor of whatever sphere of public
utility, as the shadows of perennial
night have forever sealed his slumbers
in death, has been cheered in his part
ing hour by the thought that there
would be some to regret and mourn his
loss and in proportion as his efforts in
behalf of his fellow men have been
crowned with success, SO corresponding
ly were his joys and consolation inten-
sif1ed. 1t is with no small degree of
sorrow that we now endeavor to per-
tribute to the memory of one whose life
and works are an open book to be read
of all men. Ignatius Donnelly carved
his way to success by determined effort,
strict regard for truth and the rights
of others. He proved blessing to his
family, his neighbors, the state and ma
ton, and when or wherever his mighty
true, just, humane government, and the
liberties of liberty-loving people. That he
contributed his quota to the country and
government of his choice, no one can
successfully deny; but it was in the field
of organized labor that he achieved
greatness, and attained the true stand
ard of American manhood. His battles
for the cause that lies nearest and dear
est to the heart of those who live by the
sweat of their brow, were fought with
calmness, deliberation and unflinching
courage. Great in goodness, pre-emi-
nent in civic virtues, he has left his
tOTy ILdJ hight Uc pIiuIcU upOu Tic
blue arches of heaven, and studied with
care by angels.
Night with her sable tresses enshrouds
him
His work is done.
Victory in every fight
Was nobly won.
Since it has pleased Almighty God, in
His wise providence, to remove from
scenes of earthly activity our great labor
leader and friend, Ignatius Donnelly,
true to his family, true to his friends,
his state, his country and to the cause
of labor, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Central Labor
Union of East Tennessee heartily SYM
pathizes with his family and friends,
and realizes that heavens gain is la
boris great loss.
Resolved, That these resolutions be

National Banking System.

There is much talk just now about
public ownership of railroads, tele-
graphs, etc. Now let us be reasonable
in our study of conditions as they con-
front us. If we have, as is claimed
$40, 900, 600 600 worth of wealth as a ma
ton, and all the value of it is in the
gold bonds and money of the great cor
pOratiOns and trusts, as we know it is,
what have we to buy with? Their de-
mand is gold. or bonds payable in gold,
while they now own all the bonds, and
there is not gold to pay them their in
terest on bonds and redeem the paper
currency of the people; besides, all ap-
preparations must be paid in gold If de-
manded. So the nation has only bonds
to exchange for bankers gold. Bonds
with principal and interest payable in
gold. and all labor and its productions
held up and robbed by combined money
that pays no taxes to speak of.
No, my friends; while the government
and gold mine owners are partnership,
in one of the greatest trusts the world
ever knew for enriching the few, there
will be no government ownership of
public utilities; the beast must be shorn
of it's strength and its image reduced to
its proper place amongst other produc-
tions of the people, or as money, equal
to an exchange dollar of the people with
only exchange value receivable in pay
ment of all public debts.
My brother farmer, don't you know
that there cannot be a dollar in honest
money that can measure the value of
your wheat? 1t is the other fellows
product, 20 $40 grains of gold injected
into the honest dollar that gives it the
measure Of all labor and it's productions
from the soil, together with all wealth,
and there is not one person in 10000
that has as much use for gold as for
wheat
When the people vote the laws and
have only one exchange dollar for the
value labor produces, then this nation
mas built around it wall of defense
that would defy the combined shot and
shell, dynamite and armies and navies
OF the world
Why. our own statistics show that an
honest exchange money in this country
would pay one billion and a half of
