IS GROVER A TRAITOR?

J* Tim* of Wkr Hi* Secret OMiftna; Wool a Be Tnmoo. If our country were in. a state of war wftb Great Eritr in and President Cleveland were to tecretely meet and conspire with the agents of that country he would ha arretted, 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, life-and-death struggle going on between the toiling, struggling classes and the capitalistic class. Ours is no leee a state of war than 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 the road side from the Atlantic to the Pacific. By way'of business investment Great Britain has captured our railways, our stocks, bonds and securities of every sort 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 bnt with stupendous effrontery has Bent his sub-traitor Carlisle intc 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 pales and washed out to t'_in watei under the poisonous dripping from the upas tree of partyism? How like fierce wild beasts you would pursue this traitor Cleveland were he s 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 traitor Cleveland? Why he should be impeached and dismissed forever to expatriotism and to the awful doom ol disfranchised, execrated foe to the republic. He ought neither to be mobbed, shot or hanged. It never does any good to take life. Besides hanging is too gnod 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. On« cursed with too much; the other curse* 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 lash for temporary surcease of pain and woe, to a life of dishonor. Crim€ will at last be their only resort. A few escapades; death, prison, the gallows, and the curtain will drop. Twf 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 meD 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 oi 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 ia 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. AIJ history amplifies, and is a commentary upon the statements herein made.Progressive Age.

In Trouble.

Mr. Taylor, the colored gentleman whom Mr. Cleveland appointed as recorder at Washington, is in trouble charged with being too frisky in tbt presence of several young ladies in hi? Two of the young ladies testify that he made improper proposal* to them. Of eourse it is all a mistake “The king can do no wrong,” and why should the king’s favorite be adjudged guilty of doing anythin* wicked? Now, if it had been Coxey oi Carl Browne or Christopher Columbur Jones, and they bad been crowded ovei on the grass by the police, then 1J might reasonably be expected that they would be pnt in Jail, and that without much ceremony. But C. H. J Taylor, being one of the President’* elect, will reign on, and If the girls don’t like his kind of behavior they can seek employment elsewhere, that’* all. The rebellion In Cuba bas assumed alarming proportions. Fully 6.000 men are already under arms.

CRIME.

I Thomas Hayes of Brtghtwood, Ind., j was found dead in a barn, apparently murdered. Henry Long, who lived near Purvis, Miss., shot his wife and his brother-in-law and blew out his own brains. In a drunken brawl among Hungarians at Maltby, Pa., Mrs. Anna TonIsh was fatally stabbed by George line. ; Her husband, Alexander Tonish, received nine knife wounds. ! At New York Charles Janda, 20 years old. a Bohemian tailor, shot and instantly killed his sister-in-law, Mrs. Camilla Janda, and then committed • suicide. The postoffice at Montpelier, Ind., j was robbed of S2OO in cash. The explo- ! sion aroused the police, who wounded ■ one of the robbers, but all escaped. J. F. Maranda, city treasurer of Spring Valley, 111., pleaded guilty at Princeton tcf embezzling $3,000. He had ; unsuccessfully tried to fix the blame on i ex-Mayor Jack. ! The parsonage of the German church at La Porte, Ind., was robbed, and the Rev. C. A. Loeber of Chicago, who was a guest, lost SIOO. Banker M. A. Thayer was placed i under bonds for $12,000 at Sparta, Wis., charged with obtaining deposit money ! unlawfully! j A new trial was denied Julius Schwa- ! backer, son of the millionaire distiller, and convicted of burglary at Peoria, 111. James Miller, superintendent of police at Muncie, Ind., is charged by ten of his patrolmen with accepting bribes from criminals. John Kelvee, leader of the mob of strikers that attacked the Pratt mines in Alabama last July, precipitating a fight In which a deputy sheriff and four negro miners were killed, was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to one year’s Imprisonment. Edward Fady, John James Fady, Stephen Fady and John White were drowned while shooting at Catalena, Trinity Bay, N. F.

Moffatt, of Bradford, 111., shot and killed himself because of despondency.

OBITUARY.

James W. Scott, proprietor and publisher of the Chicago Tlmes-Herald, died at New York. Apoplexy was the cause of death, which was peaceful and unexpected. Prof. James D. Dana of Yale university, probably the greatest scientist in America, died at his home in New Haven, Conn. The new Hollingsworth building will be ready for occupancy by May Ist. It is to be occupied by B. F. Ferguson as a real estate loan, and insurance office, and by R. Phillips second barber shop. When you can buy a good top buggy for S4O it is false economy to have an old one repaired. Warner & Son handle just such a buggy, as well a as full line of better carriages of all kinds, and at correspondingly low prices. Cash paid in advance to a manufacturer who needed money to keep from shutting down, secured an unequaled bargain which is more than divided with customers.

The senate passed a bill providing for a general charter tor the fifty-three cities in the state of the fourth class.

Wide Tires Have Come.

For several week the Pilot has urged the necessity of wide tires for all traffic wagons to preserve and improve the roads, especially the gravel roads. The enterprissing firm of Warner & Son have seconded the effort by the purchase of a large shipment of the very best wagons, with wide tires, which arrived this week, and are now stored in their large ware rooms. This order is one of the largest of its kind ever given by the firm, making a string of wagons quite two blocks long. The receipt of these wagons is opportune, and at the rate they are being taken by purchasers another shipment will soon be needed. They are up to date in every particular, the purchase price is discounted by cash with order, and prices are made correspondingly low to customers. It costs nothing to examine these spendid wagons and convince yourself as to their superior value as compared with other grades and makes.

X- What is money? 2. What is its relation to ! wealth? 3. By whom should it be created? 4. Of what material should it be made? 5. How much money ougnt to be created and kept in exist 1 ence in the country? 6. How can it be put in circulation and kept in circulation among the people? 7. How much should be paid for the use of money, and to whom should it be paid? 8. Should the law prevent speculation in money? 9. Should the law preveut the loaning of money by individuals or corporations? 10. What is a flexible currency? 11. What would be the best means for attaining a flexible currency? 12. Should banking be permitted by law except by government agencies? The above studies for this and next month are taken from a small work used in the Colorado Allia'nce. This system in study is a good thing and we hope all sub-alliances will discoss these and other topics thoroughly.

The Farn Record, the official paper of the State Alliance, a 16-page rhonthly, price 50c a year, will be sent free to every subscriber of the People’s Pilot who pays 11.00 on account, past, present or future. This offer is made in place of any other premium offer. The Aid Degree has paid over $20,000 in death accident benefits from Jauuary 1, 1894, to February 1, 1895. An Aid Degree lodge was formed in No. 3,127, Lafayette county, Missouri, last month. Still they come! Another aid degree lodge was organized in No. 3,065, Lafayette county, Missouri, and a start made in No. 3,064. A life insurance policy in the Alliance Aid is beyond the reach of the assessor or tax gatherer; the sheriff can never touch it, but at a cost of only about 1 per cent per annum (ranging from half of 1 per cent to 2 per cent), you add SI,OOO to your estate for the benefit of dear ones at the darkest hour they will ever see. The March assessment of the National Alliance Aid is made to pay death losses as follows: Geo. W. Gust. Preston. Kan., $2,000; James W. Cook. Warner, S. D., $2,000; James T. Alexander, Augusta. Kan., $1,000; George F. Covil, Aberdeen, S. D.. $2,000. The families of the above deceased brothers will be placed beyond the danger of immediate want by their foresight in taking a policy in the Aid Degree, and when it comes our turn to join them ‘'over there” the brothers will do for our families what we now do for these.

The fraternal orders furnish the cheapest kind of life insurance in the world, and the farm-ers-live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is l:>wer than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will be cheaper than in any other order—the cheapest in the world. The following counties in Indiana are now represented in the Aid Degree: Boone, DeKalb, Green. Hamilton, Henry, Madison, Marion and Tipton.

Next week we will give our readers the'costof life insurance in this order, which has established such an enviable record for careful management as shown by the low death rate, and which is controlled by the national ex- , ecutive committee of the Aliii ance. The members of the ori ganization no longer need to look i outside for safe insurance. Their 1 own order ranks among the safest 1' and cheapest in this country. 1

Forty Aid Degree Lodges of the Farmers’ Alliance were formed in the first three months of this year with a charter membership of nearly 700. Jasper Co. has done well to make a start in ibis direction. C. Vincent, the State Lecturer and a director in. the Degree Lodge, spent a few days in the county and established a lodge Oneai Fair Oaks in Union tov’nship, with some of the most subtantial and influential citizens of the county as charter members. Jas. Welsh and M. ’i. Slaughter, well known in many counties as successful organizers will assist in introducing this new feature in Alliance work. The profusion of beautiful hats at, Mrs. Imes’ from the deft hands of her expert trimmer is one reason why ladies crowd her counters Another reason is that at no other place is there such a complete stock of up-to-date shapes, flowers and ornaments. and at prices no higher than elsewhere.

Henry Vincent, editor .of the Chicago Searchlight-Age, came down upon the Pilot’s helmsman Saturday evening and broke bread with him until Monday morning. Henry is one of the most forceful writers upon the reform press of America, and by the recent consolidation of his paper with the Age, a combination of the greatest value to the cause has been made. The firm is backed by sufficient capital to put the paper on a solid basis. The paper is a large 7-column 8 page sheet, and its price is SI.OO per year. It at once takes first place in the field of reform papers.

Special Sale.

Look out for special sale on glassware beginning, Thursday, April 25th, continuing one week. Prices from 5c up. Emporium. Positively we will not wrap up calico at 2c per yd except with other goods, Saturday. Apr. 27, sale day. Chicago Bargain Storo.

Eastern Star Entertainment.

The annual reception of the Eastern Star given in the Masonic hall Friday evening, April 19th, was one rare event where all enjoyed themselves beyond expection. About 200 pres- » ent. The invitations requested each guest to place in a little prepared sack as many cents as they were years old. This may have been the reason why a number of the reputedly young ladies were not present. A feature of the entertainment was the baby picture guessing cpn- * test, about all the guests bringing a “likeness” (?) that tradition attributed to them as the subject treated. The ladies served splendin ice cream and cake and at a highly respectable hour the mirthful company departed.

A Summer Resort at Home.

The proper way to enjoy life during the summer months is to resigr the blistering cook stove to a condition of inocuous desuetude and purchase a gasoline stove of Warner & Son. They have the Monarch and Reliable, the two leading favorites: handsome. convenient, absolutely perfect in construction, and safer than coal or wood. Every stove guaranteed to give satis faction. Prices within reach- of any one.

“Blood to the Hornes’ Bridles.”

Hon, Davis H. Waite, ex-gov-ernor of Colorado. who has caused the corporations and money changer more uneasiness than any man of the perseut time. 1 a .established a weekly reform paper at Denver, Colo. It is choek-ful of good thoughts and terse sayings on living issues. It would be cheap at £1 00 per annum, but thd price is 50 cts. The governor is a broad, liberal thinker; he delves deeply and analyzes closely; he is such a forceful writer that even those who differ with him delight to read his paper. He closed one of his recent speeches with the following significant paragraph:

**Our weapons are arguments and the ballot—a free ballot and a fair count. But if the money power shall attempt to sustain its usurpation by ‘tiestrong hand,’ we will meet that issue when it is lorced upon us; for it is better, infinitely better, that blood should flow to the horses’ bridles, rather than our national liberties should be destroyed. ” Every progressive thinker should send 50c to “Our Nation’s Crisis,’’Denver, Colo. The paper will be given as a preminm with every payment of 12.00 to the Pople's Pilot on subscription account.
