Clay Center Sun: State Treasurer stue-
fer is charged by The Omaha Bee with COM
plicity in a bond transaction in his home
county, whereby a business friend, II not a
partner, prohted to the tune Of $4,000 at
the expense OF the state. Mr.. Stuefer Wig
orously denies. 1t was necessary. during
the late campaign TO make excuses for Mr..
stuefer and the republican party should go
out Of that business altogether, leaving
such unwise things to the demo-pops.

st. Paul Republican: What the people
OF the state want to know above every
thing else is why It should have been
necessary to carry on negotiations through
a third person at all. Unless Mr.. Stuefer
is able TO explain all OF these things fully
and satisfactorily he should lose no time
in resigning his once. The party which
elevated him has never INDUCED in pre-
tense or sham reform and It is in no mood
for trihing with a representative who be-
trays his trust.

Give County the Beneht.

Nebraska City Tribune: The point made
is this; II Mr.. Stuefer had state funds TO
invest at az per cent he should have let
otoe county have this $50. 900 last spring,
instead of forcing us to pay Al, with the
state the final lepder after all, but only
getting part Of the interest We are paying.
II was not thought such a bad sale at the
time, as the best terms the county ever
secured was 4 per cent. some three years
ago. But we could have made $1,000 by
getting some OF Mr.. stuefer's s1s per cent
money direct,

Looks Decidedly shady.

Ponca Journal: State Treasurer stuefer
is having an airing Just now on account OF
the fact that he is accused Of milking the
state school funds OF a few thousand plunks
in some bond purchases he made from Burt
and Cunning counties. The transaction looks
decidedly shady at this distance, Judging
by the published accounts. We might add
tina Mr.. Stuefer denies the charges IN toto
and claims to be able to prove his In
nocence,

Cannot AFFORD to Wait.

Holdrege Citizen (rep.): There is con-
siderable criticism OF Treasurer Stuefer's
bond transaction. There is nothing on the
face Of the transaction to show that the
treasurer has personally gained by these
transactions or that he has been dishonest
in the handling Of the bonds OF Burt, Cum
ing and otoe counties. Still, the way he
has handled these bonds seems 10 the out
slider unbusinesslike and that the state
treasurer ought TO have found some way
to have dealt directly with the county
authorities instead OF dealing with third
parties. who were able TO make a nice fat
thing in buying up these bonds and selling
them TO the state. IL Is not fair TO con-

passionate Jesus suggests no remedy. Is there
a loving God? Are there not millions CT great
loving hearts that heave and throb in sympathy
with the unfortunate whom competit on has
driven to the wall of want and despair? Yea,
verily What we want is awakened method and
concentration of energies. The sentiment that
would give joyous, healthful livesto all of Gods
children is abundant]y existent. Let the pull
pit, press and rostrum speak IN tones like to the
thunders of Mount Sinai, and a new law of CO.
operation would spring into beneficent existence.
The new law would bring healing on its
wings in the hope and realization of higher
destiny tor the human race. No wandefings
of homeless, friendless girls. No tramps.
No children in factories wearing out their young
lives in drudgery that ends in premature death.
No sorrowful mothers with young children cry
ing for bread No poor-houses for the aged
men and women whose lives were spent in un-
renting toll. Is the end worth the labor? Is
our sister or brother of less account than the
poodle dog OF the angle-worm? Does God care
for the lily of the field and care not for the
flower of womanhood, or the strong oak of
manhood? Let the grand, good men and wo-
men of this land of great blessings and abund

THE SITUATION IN THE c.. L DISTICT.

Notwithstanding the conferonec between the
coal operators and the repre- '.atives OF the
miners, at the White House, ~, strike con-
tinues. President Roosevelt H. disguised and
discouraged over the result of lie conference,
and said the burden of ending The strike must
rest upon Governor Stone, CT Pennsylvania.
The President was urged by aany prominent
men to call special session Of congress for the
purpose of enacting laws 70. che relief of the
situation. But the Presiden did not see fit to
call the special session. ms cad, he made
proposition to President MAcl.il, of the United
Mine Workers Union, to this effect: President
Mitchell TO use his Influence TO induce the min
ers to go to work, with the promise of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to appoint committee to in
vestigate their grievances, aud a further promise
that he will urge upon congress legislation in
accordance with the recommendations of that
committee.
President Mitchell and his advisers, as we'll
as the miners in general, dc not view the above
proposition with favor. President Mitchell is
of the opinion that it woud prove "gold
brick" He says that President Roosevelt's
efforts, while based upon the Lest of intentions,
would probably be fruitless. He might make
The best of promises, but he has not the power
10 carry them out. The committee he might
appoint might not instruct according to the de-
mands of the miners, and congress, though
urged by the President, need not legislate in a
way that would bring justice to the miners.
President Mitchell says that he has no power
~ call off the strike; that it will be necessary
Tor a thousand miners, in convention, to bring
the strike I'd close.

SUPREME COURT WOULDN'T ACT.

The supreme court Of Kansas refused to con-
slider the anti-fusion mandamus case, five of the
justices claiming that they were not qualified
to act, as they are candidates for election this
fall, which gives them a personal interest in
the case.
At this writing, it is not known what dis
posa will be made of the case, but il is thought
that it will be referred to district court, from
which there be no appeal, as the supreme
court will not act. Should it be referred to a
district judge, some Populist or Democratic
Judge will probably be selected. Whatever is
to be done will be done within few days.

suicide; not for the fallen women; not for the
drunken outcast. So says orthodoxy q
Will there be room in Heaven tor poodle dog
society? Who sent the fallen women or the
drunken outcast to Hades? Who sent the Young
man out on career of crime? Who cursed
cities with bowling mobs of ignorance and
6endishness? Society, thou art the guilty
culprit.
Cain could not escape his punishment behind
the plea of cam l my brothers keeper" So
ciety, thou ait thy brothers. keeper.
Society, from whom did you learn the lessons
of competition? Did you study the wild hog
of strong back and longest snout? Have you
studied the lion in his fastness, or the tiger in
the jungle? You must have done So Your
lesson is we'll learned. The strong hog has the
best morsel; the lion his choice of the flock
the tiger, his choice of the herd.
Greed and ferocity are written all over the
animals of society, in letters of blood. Its
history is black with the stains OF heartlessness
and indifference.
Let society not be deceived. There is less
room in Heaven for the sef.satis6ed, selfde-
luded or brazen hypocrte than for the fallen
women or the suicides who were forced, Ly
conditions, to acts unnatural and abhorrent.
Conditions do not force society into courses OF
heartessness aud greed. Conditions do not
force society into an attude of utter indifference
when it beholds whole multitudes of people in
want i'll the midst of plenty. Society does not
need healing along the lines OF the criminal and
debauchee, but it leeds healing.
Society is like the allegorical woman de-
scribed in Revelation. 1t smacks its lips and
says, 81 have do lie no evil" Society, you have
done evil. You stand arraigned on the charge
of crowdng your brothers and sisters away
from food, rainent and comfortable existence,
and sending thousands sand tens of thousands
of helpless beings into premature graves.
Society may be ignoraut--may be Indifferent
or incredulous. Society may be heartless. 1t
may be little of all. No matter; society can
not escape the reckoning. Will there be day
when men shall give an account of the deeds
done in the bouy? The Bible says that there
shall be.
What we promoted condoned or sanctioned is
partly our deed. We are accessories, where we
are inform ed, either before the fact or after.
Be sure there is room, and to spare, and
whenever or wherever we crowd our fellows in
to want, for want of an opportunity to earn
comfortable living, guilty Of the conse-
quences, either as principal or accessory, not
having done our best to prevent.
The Socialist has the only remedy Tor the ex-
listing evils that afflict society that has ever
been offered by man to man. Let the ignor-
ant investigate, and the informed be up and
doing.

Congressman Grosnenor, Of Ohio, is fright
ened over the prospect. He says he has to go
home and face 5000 angry miners, with
miner running against him for congress. Mr..
GrosV enor has telegraphed to some of the great

less the strike is brought tc close Immediately

William Abraham, Member of Parliament,
moved vote, Tuesday, for S, 1000 in aid of the
American miners "now struggling for the rec
ognition of their organization and the principles
of arbitration An anne ndment to donate
$3.50 to the American miners was defeated,
but the districts were strongly recommended to
in the United States.
The coal strike in the United States is at
tracing more and more attention in Berlin.
The newspapers publish rather full reports of
the conference at Washington. The press
takes sides with the miners and censures the
operators for their unyielding attitude.
tt
The operators have purchased 200, 1000 tons
of coal in England, to be brought to America
with view to starving out American miners.

BRYAN URGES AXTRA SESSION.
William ]. Bryan urges President Roosevelt
to call an extra 81 ssion of congress to deal with
the strike, and suggests five measures which he
should recommend for passage. They are:
I. A law establishing national board of
arbitration TO consider controversies between
corporations engaged in interstate commerce
and their employees.
2. A law abollshing government by injunc-
ton.
2. law that will discriminate between the
natural man created by the Almighty and the
corporate giant created by legislation.
a. A law taking the tariff off of coal.
$. A law that will prevent railroads engaged
in interstate commerce from operating coal
mines except for the purpose of supplying fuel
tor their own engines.
There can be no doubt that the great mass of
the American people believe that the miners
are being cruelty wronged, and hope they may
win out in the end.

We have eyes to see like yours


We have eyes to see like yours
Way down in the deep. deep mine.
But there's nothing to mark but the dreadful dark
Where the sun can never shine.
On the banks Of clammy coal
Our lamps cast Pickering light
At the bottom drear Of the moist black hole
In the land Of the noonday night.
We have children at home like yours.
But at eve, when we homeward tread,
We find them asleep in tangled heap,
Three or four in single ped.
In the morning, our tasks begin
Before the sun shines bright,
For we have no sun and we have no kin
In the land Of the MONDAY night.
But our home is not like yours.
IT'S bare, uupainted shack,
Where the randrops pour on the shaky floor
And the coal dust stains 1t black.
Not flower or blade Of grass
Can escape the grimy blight.
For the face of our yard is scared and scared
In the land Of the MONDAY night
But the men who own the mines.
And who live like kings OF old
All! little they care how their wage-slaves fare
So long as they get their gold
And the fre-damp may explode,
And thousand die outright,
For the men come cheap who go down deep
In the land Of the MONDAY night.
And like feathers they weigh the coal
When they pay us by the head,
But for you who buy it twice too high
They weigh it like chunks Of lead
And our wage goes back in rent
For they have us in such plight
And they squeeze us sore at the company store,
In the land Of the MONDAY night.
And we labor with straining arms
For the pittance they degn to give,
And our boys must quit the school for the pit
To drudge that we all may live.
And our teeth feel the grit Of the mine
In the very bread we bite,
Till our nmost soul is defiled with coal
In the land Of the MONDAY night. >,
And If in the end we dare
To assert our just demands,
Then our courts emit an injunction writ
To shackle our tongues and hands.
And it, in spite Of their froWn,
We protest that we will unite,
Then they lock us up or they shoot us down
In the land Of the MONDAY night
Who was it that made the coal
Our God as we'll as theirs
If He gave it free to you and me,
Then keep us out who dares
Let the people own their mines
Bumen and anthracite
And the right prevail under hill and dale
In the land Of the MONDAY night.

Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, has order
ed out all of the state troops, and they are now
camped in the mining district. This action of
the Governor is strongly condemned, not only
by the miners, but by the citizens. Mayors
and other officials of various cities within the
district declare that the calling out of the troops
was unwarranted; that the police force is en-
tirely capable of preventing any lawlessness on
the part of the strikers.
