THE ACTIVITY IN SILVER.

• Starr Colgate Says XL ii .>ll on a Specu.New York, April 2. —Activity in silver, which has been noted of late, continued yesterday, when about 300,'>M ounces were sold in the market here. In speaking of the silver market and the causes and prospects of the present movevent Mr. Starr Colgate of the firm of Nesslage, Colgate & Co., • “The movement began on receipt of the news from Germany favoring a bimetallic conference. It was helped when a motion that seemed to lean toward such a conference was made in the English house of commons. The news of peace negotiations between Japan and China, to carry a large indemnity in silver, also had propelling force. A good deal of silver is now under lock. It will come out fast enough when the speculators believe that the advance is over. I cannot see in the movement much beyond the speculative feature. Talk of bimetallic action by Germany and England seems to have subsided. If it is to be revived It must be done by these countries. A debtor country like the United States cannot lead in such a movement. We have had silver troubles enough without inviting others. "In regard to an indemnity to be paid by China, if has seemed to' me that gold might be demanded. Dispatches speak more of silver, but Japan is earning a reputation as a country of advanced ideas, and it may be that talk there of putting the finances on a gold basis may be emphasised in the demands on China. I am inclined to look on the present movement as speculative.”

Gresham Going to Lakewood.

Washington, April 2.—Secretary Gresham, whose duties have been so cortfining and unusually onerous for the past month, has made arrangements to go to Lakewood, N. J., for a week or ten days to recuperate. He had more than one severe attack of the grip and neuralgia during the winter, which left l irn too weak to stand the strain resulting from the exceptional number of diplomatic incidents which have recently arisen. Mrs. Gresham will accompany him to Lakewood. The secretary expects to remain in Washington all sumnier.

The Chicago Election.

Chicago, April 2.—Politicians say that the quiet interest displayed in the election to-day was greater than they had ever known. Although the day passed without much dison ’er, the . "»s unusually heavy. It is safe to say that at the closing of the polls at least 270,000 votes had been cast. Indications seem to show that the republicans have elected the mayor and been generally successful throughout ff.y. Civil service reform Is thought to have been carried by a decisive vote.

Boom Started for President Diaz.

Tabasco, Mex., April 2.—The fir«t notable movement in the republic »••>- latiqg to the proposition to r -el President Diaz president has tak n form with the "Club Liberal Tabas-iu*-no,” this city and state. The chi’ inquallfiedly indorses Gen. Diaz f>- ■ - election in 1896 and a resolution to t.i at effect is being numerously signed in many quarters. It is pretty well understood that Diaz is willing to complete the century in the executive chair.

Cokers Talk of Strike.

Uniontown, Pa., April 2.—The cokeworkers were greatly excited when information that rents of the company houses had been advanced from 30 to 40 percent, and the talk of a general strike throughout the region is general. The men claim that the recent advance of 16 per cent in wages, which went into effect yesterday, was only a ruse to prevent a strike, as they will not be benefited in the least by it. A convention w3s| be held to consider the matter.

Howgate Again Indicted.

Washington, April 2.—Captain Howgate has been indicted for alleged frauds on the government during the time he was disbursing officer of the signal service. The new indictments are three in number. One alleges forgery of a $4,000 account with the American Union Telegraph company in 1879, another charges embezzlement and the third falsification of accounts.

Gilleas on the Chesapeake Board.

Memphis, Tenn., April 2. —The annual meeting of the stockholders a of the Chesapeake & Ohio & Southwestern railway was held in this city yesterday.

Fla., April 2.—Senor Rivero, editor of Cuba, has received a communication from a strong American club just organized at Atlanta, the members of which offer pecuniary support, and, if necessary, active efforts, in aiding the revolution in Cuba. Senor Figueredo has a similar letter from Ocala.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER. IND., APRIL 6. WEEKLY, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

THE COUNTRY SAVED.

Prosperity Is Restored and Good Times Are at Hand. The big bond sale will clear the financial sky. It will be hard to get up a treasury scare when the gold fund is up to $100,000,000, and the sale will put it at that line. When the gold scares are stopped confidence will return and business will improve. The indications are that the return of good times is close at hand. —St. Louis Glohe Democrat. This is the kind of gibbering idiocy with which the great daily papers of the United States gull the people and tickle the devil. Oh yes! Who blds? The big bond sale has begun. The financiers are wild with joy. Everything indicates clear sailing for the financiers. They are saved. They can now buy bonds without even the trouble of getting up a treasury scare. They have got a dead cinch on that. The scare is over, people have got used to it, aud now they can draw out the gold without attracting attention. Their confidence in King Grover is restored, and their business is improving. Good times are at hand for the money brokers. They’ve got the earth by the tail, and a down hill pull. The government of the bankers, by the bankers and for the bankers is now firmly established. They have reduced the v.orld to a gold standard, and cornered the gold. They have bulled the money market, busted the produce market. . Hereafter gold shall be king, and the brokers his courtiers. The skies are clear and a glorious day of prosperity has dawned upon the money dealers. The people be d—d. The bankers are all right. Grover’ is all right. Joh'n Sherman is all right. The Rothschilds are all right. John Bull has conquered America at last. The church of the golden calf is restored. Ring the bells and fire the guns and fling the starry 1 anner out. Property rules manhood —prosperity waves from the turreted fortresses of aristocracy, and the cala.mity howler dares not lift his croaking voice in the land of the millionaire. At last capital controls the land, the money, the army and the government.

PREFERRED TO DIE.

Sad Story of One Girl Who Died Rather than Wed a Brutal Cripple. A, little girl in India went to the missionary school. She was a pretty, clever little thing, and so attracted the teacher that she ventured to visit her in her home. She found the child overshadowed by the horror of hep approaching marriage. As a baby she had been betrothed, but, according to custom, she lived in her father’s house till she was 12; then she was taken from her own people and given over to her husband, a hideous little man, deformed, his face scarred with disease, of bad character, and notoriously given to drink. The child was terrified of him and he derived a ghoullike pleasure from her terror —used to jump at her in the dark, make faces at her, and told her that once really married to him and in his home he and his old mother would make short work of her beauty with a red-hot. fork, so that it would soon be difficult to choose between their two faces. At last the fatal day arrived. The missionary’s heart ached for the little friend she was unable to help, and as she went about her work she prayed, says a writer in Temple Bar, that God might save His hapless creature. At noon the child’s mother burst into the house. “Nahomi is dead!” she cried. The two women hurried to her home. She had washed her little person and her Imir, had braided it neatly, had put on her bridal gown, had decorated het self with flowers and jewelry, and then had gone quietly into the yard behind the house, where a datura tree hung its great white trumpets against the blue sky, dug up and ate a little of its poisonous root, and then crept back into her home, where she now lay, cold, stark —free.

A Tip for Silver Men.

We want to give the silverites a tip right here and now that is wort'i their while to consider. If they will unfurl the banner of “Demonetization of Gold” and fight for it tooth and toe nc.il, in less than eighteen months gold bug in Christendom will oe right uown on his knees begging for the restoration of silver. Why? Because he will realize the danger in which I.’" fetich of metal money is placed—and he will be ready to join forces with the silverites in order to save his own idol from destruction. It is the most vulnerable point in the gold-bug fort today. If the silverites had any sense or courage they would bring the “honest money” shriekers to terms in short order.

A Skirt Dancer’s Gown.

A costume for a skirt dancer costs Yom $259 to $490. It has to be renewe 1 ’requently. for yards of thin lace and lengths of gauzy silk' are not calcuated to withstand constant and vigor:us use. Slippers wear out rapidly, as (heir soles must be of paper and the treasure on them severe. But to offset these extravagances, jhe salary of such a nightly perform.nce is very fine. Women like Amelia Plover and Lole Fuller reap a perfect harvest of shekels by appearing thirty ninutes during the evening, and even in artistic young beginner, like Miss St. Tel, commands a salary a woman ftho has served years in another profession would be glad to earn.

IS GROVER A TRAITOR?

In Tim* of War HU Secrat Conspiracy Would Be Treason. If our country were in a state of war with Great Britain and President Cleveland were to secretely meet and conspire with the agents of that country he would be arrested, court-martialed, and shot or hanged as a traitor. The country is in a state of war, not with Great Britain as a nation, but with British capitalists. There is a hand-to-hand, lit'e-and-death struggle going on between the toiling, struggling classes and the capitalistic class. Ours is no less a state of war chan if it were more tangibly expressed by encamped soldiery, by pointed bayonet and canon. The sick and wounded, dying and dead victims of this deadly struggle in every city, every hamlet, at every mining camp, factory, machine shop and by thefroad side from the Atlantic to the Pacific. By way of business investment Great F itain has captured our railways, our bonds and securities of every Fv.u By way of legislation at our national capital Great Britain has captured our finances. We have here at the white house as nominal president of the United States the tool, the agent and the hired spy of British capitalism. With awful audacity, and with titanic insolence President Cleveland has within the past fortnight held conference with the enemies of this nation He has not only acceded to their dictation but with stupendous effrontery has sent his sub-traitor Carlisle lute the very citadel of the nation, into the national house of legislation with a treason black copy of the terms of surrender which the British foe exacted O, American patriots, has every drop of the red blood of ’76 pale< and washed out to tkin watei under the poisonous dripping from the upas tree of partylsm? How like fierce wild beasts you would pursue this traitor Cleveland were he e spy from the enemy’s soldier camp But just because the treason is political the people bend the knee and bow the head in ignorant, helpless superstition and let our great republic be delivered soul and body into the possession of the enemy. What ought to be done with the tt-aitor Cleveland? Why he should be impeached and dismissed forever to expatriotism and to the awful doom of disfranchised, execrated foe to the republic. He ought neither to be mobbed, shot or hanged. It never does any good to take fife. Besides hanging is too good for Cleveland.—Anna L. Diggs, in Topeka Advocate.

A Condition.

Rockefeller has $175,000,000; Stub Peters has a wife and nine children. Rockefeller and Peters both work hard —one to care for his millions, the other to keep his family from starving. One cursed with too much; the other cursec because he lacks enough. Both industrious; both thrifty; both slaves. A few years both will go away. One to—the other to —. Both will leave families. The family of the one nursed in luxury to effeminacy, will gradually yield an existence and go out in silence; the family of the other, the prey of temptation, chased by gaunt want from refuge to refuge, will fly at last for temporary surcease of pain and woe, to a life of dishonor. Crimt will at last be their only resort. A few escapades; death, prison, the gallows, and the curtain will drop. Twc families will have gone out forever. Strong and good blood coursed through the veins of both at the beginning ol their career, yet darkness and obliv ion will soon claim them all. Why this mockery of human aspirations and human consecration? Aye. That is the question this generation of men and women is called upon to answer A social system, based upon greedgiving to the shrewdest the monopoly of life’s opportunities, by a strange fatality damns those who take advantage of the unjust conditions it decrees. As a consequent of the wreckage of the one class, the other contemporaneously goes out to a certain destruction. Dismal death obliterates every scion of every family. Ruin to all decreed. Ruin to all decreed in the immutable law which curses with its persistent evolutionizing energy the selfish systems of humanity. Greed is transitory; it is error. Ethics is permanent; it is truth. The story of man is the demonstration that selfishness destroys those who grow fat over its gain and Indulgences, as well as those who suffer by the consequent injustice. Men go out under the doomladen operation of this infinite law Families vanish; nations struggle and succumb and civilizations perish. AU history amplifies, and is a commentary upon the statements herein made.— Progressive Age.

In Trouble.

Mr. Taylor, the colored gentlemar whom Mr. Cleveland appointed as recorder at Washington, is in trouble charged with being too frisky in thi prepence of several young ladies in his employ. Two of the young ladies tes- • ify that he made improper proposals to them. Of course it is all a mistake “The king can do no wrong,” arid why should the king’s favorite be adjudged guilty of doing anything wicked? Now, if it had been Coxey oi Carl Browne or Christopher Columbur Jones, and they had been crowded ovei o:$ the grass by the police, then ii might reasonably be expected that they would be put in jail, and that without much ceremony. But C. H. J Taylor,- being one of the President’! jJect, will reign on, and if the girli don’t like his kind of behavior they can seek employment elsewhere, that’! all. The rebellion In Cuba has assumed alarming proportions. Fully 6,000 men are already ander arms.

Big and Little Thieves.

The conviction of ex-Treanurer Woodruff, of Arkansas, and his sentence for one year to the penitentiary for stealing over >IOO,OOO, is another brilliant example of the method of doling out justice in this country. It is useless tn attempt to disguise the fact that if this had been some poor laboring man, whose family was really in need of something to eat, who had stolen a hog, or anything to else to the value of >ls or >2O, he would have been sentenced to not less than two years. The case of Woodruff is not an isolated case. Nolan, of Missouri, who stole over >40,000 of the state’s money, received but two years’ sentence. Hemmingway, of Mississippi, stole >316,000 and got five years in the pen; if it had been some poor, friendless devil, he would have got the full limit of the law. Now why should Woodruff, Nolan and Hemmingway be entitled to greater leniency than a poor man who is struggling with poverty and hunger? The court records are full of cases where men have been convicted and sentenced to from five to twenty years imprisonment for stealing less than >IOO in value. Such methods of discrimination in the administration of justice are breeding more anarchy in this country than all the Herr Mosts could do if they tried. It is a travesty of justice to send a poor man up for five years for stealing >SO and a wealthy or influential (?) man up one year for stealing >IOO,OOO. The official who steals the public funds commits a double crime. He is guilty of a breach of trust and theft. In no instance can he plead the palliating circumstances that exist in the case of the man who is poor, and whose opportunities for making a living are limited, as is the case with thousands at present. It is this d rimination in favor of the rich and influential* that is undermining our free institutions. Government is only useful so long as it is administered “for the greatest good for the greatest number.” The stability of the government rests upon the respect which the people have for the law and the proper administration of justice. When the courts become engines of oppression for the poor, and citadels of refuge for the rich and powerful,

as was the case in the Dred S ott decision, before the war, and ii recent railroad strikes since, the people lose respect for the law and for government. It is n generally conceded that John Brown ■ n s right, although he was a law breaker, r.nd as such was punished. John Brown and his followers had no respect for the Dred Scott decision. The majority of the people north of Mason and Dixon’s line were of the same mind. All the court decisions in the world can not make a wrong right. Chattel slavery was wrong, and, although it was recognized by the constitution, sustained by the courts, and protected by the lows, the people rose up and shot it to death. So it will be with debt slavery. No chains can bind an intelligent people to slavery, whether they be of iron or gold. Such cases as are cited above are not the greatest that are filling up the cup of iniquity, that eventually must be overturned either with the ballot or the bullet. Just in proportion as the people lose their respect for the law and its administrators, they are approaching the vorte t of revolution. When a government fails in its functions it is iiu good on earth, and if the spirit of the Declaration of American Independence still lives in the hearts of the people, they will “alter or abolish it, and Institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shrll seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Banks in Politics.

(Farmers and Laborers’ Journal.) The banks are running the country and running it in the ground. , You cannot pick up a newspaper but you will read of a meeting of bankers, here or there, to dictate to 'fongre s—or of President Blank of the Blank National bank drawing a series of resolutions to instruct members of congress. Are the bankars philanthropists? No; their business is to lend money and collect interest upon it. As a class they have no connection with the people, except to suck the substance out of them and leave them poorer than they were. Are they looking out for the welfare of the masses? No - G.cy are simply trying to concentrate the wealth of the masses in the coffers of the banks. You can’t blame them. That is their business. But to govern a republic so that the many may be prosperous and the gree ’ ’ the few be restrained should be the alm of all true representatives of the masses of the people. Say, friends, you hove been petitioning congress for years to do this and do that, asking your servants to do what they premised to do and what you have all the time had the right to command them to do as your public servants, but what good have you accomplished? Isn’t the petitioning business getting old—a very much of a back number? Doesn’t it make you w'eary to think of the petitions you have signed and the “hearings” you have read about? Why not end this sort of nonsense by electing men who will go to congress or the legislature and do what they were sent to do? You can do It, but you must get away from the rotten politicians, the caucus, and the "machine,” and elect men whose interests are identified with your interests —not jackleg lawyers and professional politicians.
