During the terrible volcanic eruption in the island of Java in 1883 that island volcano of Krakatoa emitted such an abundance of molten lava and burning ashes that it was reported that the entire island was literally red, hot. Of course every trace of vegetation was destroyed, and yet, four’years later the winds and waves had ddne their work so well that an eminent naturalist found 246 different kinds of plants on the island.

Free coinage of stiver would afford a genuine protection to American industries. All sincere silver men will join the People’s party. The ones who are not sincere we do not want. Mankind will make another grand stride forward this year. The time for reformers to act has come.

Strikers Replaced by Machinery.

Promoters of strikes argue to their comrades that unsuccessful efforts are nevertheless ultimately beneficial: but study of the subject has led me to take the opposite view, viz.: that all strikes of skilled workmen are, In the end, harmful to the participants. No one single canise has done more, in my opinion, to hasten the introduction of entirely automatic machinery in operations where a certain degree of skilled labor was considered indispensable than strikes on the part of such skilled employes. Numerous instances might be recalled where large manufacturers have, on account of strikes, cheerfully expended immense sums of money in perfecting automatic machinery, not primarily to effect economy in wages, but as an assurance against future danger from such causes. A notable instance of this nature occurred a few years ago at one of the largest iron and steel works in the world. In a certain department specially skilled men were able to make wages which now seem incredible. They were, however, paid a percentage upon the tonnage and. owing to enormous output, the profits of these operatives exceeded in some years that of many successful manufacturers having large capital at stake. These men considered themselves indispensable and struck, not for higher wages or shorter hours, but at the dictation of outsiders. When work was resumed they found their occupations gone forever. Automatic machinery had supplanted the former skilled labor. —Popular Science Monthly.

A Village Rising Bell.

For more than twenty years Bowmansville, Pa., has had what is known as a village bell. It is swung between two high upright poles and was paid for by public subscription. Every day the bell is rung three times—at 5:30 o’clock a. m., 11 o’clock a. m., and 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The leading object of its rlngifig is to announce to farmers and other working people the time of day. The first bell in the morning at Bowmansville is the signal for the people to arise and in the summer most of the residents are out that early. The 11 o’clock bell announces that it is time to leave the fields and prepare for dinner. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon they prepare for supper.—Correspondence Philadelphia Record

Remington Notes.

Goodland’s Pan Handle agent sold 180 tickets to parties who celebrated the 4th day of July here. Misses Effie Luckey and Hattie Chappell all have handsome new bicycles, and to be sure they are all correspondingly happy. Mrs. Laude Nelvie. who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Bowman of this place, has returned to her home in Ohio. Misses Ada and Ona Wilson, who have been for some time past visiting friends in Illinois, have returned to their home in Remington. Robert Diiker, a colored man who has lived in Goodland for many years past, died at his there last week. He was an ex-soldier. There has been more mowers and binders sold in Remington this year than ever before in any one season and there are probably still more to follow. Our qld friend and neighbor Robert Watson, who has for the post year or two made his headquarters at William Shepherds, left here Tuesday of last week for an indefinite sojourn with’ friends at Flemingsburg, Kentucky. Mr. Edward Green, one of our 1 best farmers north of Remington will build a fine residence in the north-east part of town this fall, and will probably occupy the same as soon as it is complet°d. Ed is a good citizeu and we will welcome him as a resident of our beautiful city. \ Attorney James T. Saunderson formely of Kentland, who has been practicing law in Okla homa, and Southern California for several years past, has lo cation in Denver, Colorado, where he will still be engaged in the practice of law. We wish him abundant success in his new field of labor. Our Christian brethern anti cipate a splendid meeting at Fountain Park beginning on Friday the 17th inst. They have an excellent program for each ,of the ten days it will be held Bro. Updyke will open the meeting with a lecture entitled “ The Blues, and their Cure.” Everybody is cordially invited to attend all of this series of meetings. The democrats celebrated the Chicago nomination of Mr. Brydn as their candidate for pre sident last Friday night in proper style, by firing cannon; they also had a good display of fire works and also sent up several ballons. They made a great deal of noise, and if their votes count out in proportion to the noise they made, Mr. Bryan will surely be elected president. Mr. Dennis Riley and Miss Jennie Shearer both of Remington were united in the holy bonds of matrimony last Wednesday in their new home which had previously been neatly furnished. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. Judge Chappell after which the happy couple proceeded to keep house at once. Our best wishes for their future prosperity and happiness are hereby extended. The nomination of William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for president and Sewah of Maine for vice-president by the Chicago democratic ' convention last week gives universal satisfaction to the democrats over this way, and a great majority of the People’s Party are very much pleased with the candidates and also the platform-upon which they stand, and they express the desire and hope that their nat ional convention which is to be held in Si. Louis on the 22nd inst. will endorse or nominate outright the same candidates as theia standard bearers. They argue, with good reason too, that if .this course is pursued, the advocates of the single gold standard will be sound'y defeated, and that in that extent the country will at once again enter upon a region of prosperity not before witnessed during its entire history. We the light of the depressed condition of the country's finances, and the consequent low prices of ail agri culture products, and of labor, we sincerely trust that Jheir hopes, and desires may be fully realized.

Laws made by lawyers for purpose of providing attorney fees do not serve the people who pay the fees. Strange that the fellows who never earned an honest penny in their lives should be the only advocates of “honest money.” The people will not again be fooled by the Democratic party. The only hope for free silver is through the People’s party. The money question cannot be kept down even by the nineteen-plank platform adopted by the Republican national convention. Populism is growing like the flowers of spring—noiselessly, but node the less rapidly, wherever the sun of troth warms the soil of intelligence The Populists will gladly welcome aL» silver men who are earnest enough to leave the old parties. We can meet them half way, but cannot go into either old party to join them. The richest, most inexhaustible sliver mines of the world are located in America, but because European moneylenders prefer gold, we cannot even have our own silver coined for use at home. It appears that congress passed that river and harbor appropriation bill over the president’s veto not so much on account of the merit of the bill as to show its utter contempt for Grover Cleveland. At the burial ground of parties we realize that the destiny of the nation is in the hands of the people, who can dissolve parties or organize new ones as they please, caring naught for the woee of politicians. It was under the McKinley tar iff that President Cleveland made !■' first issue of bonds—yet Republl. all us that a restoration of the McKinley tariff will keep up the gofd reserve and prevent the issue of bonds. Well, some of those Republicans who talked about bolting were tn earnest. They had good cause for walking out long ago. It has taken the Populists quite a while to convince them that the money question was the Important issue, and their own party has shown them the hopelessness of a fight "in-■»ide-th''-nnrty ”

STEALING OUR CURRENCY.

Col. Cherry Wants th. Democrats to Shinny on Their Own Side. Hl there! You democrats! Shinny on your own side! Keep off of our populist Isms! You said “Tariff” was what was the master. Why don’t you keep on bellow.ng about the “Tariff?” What’s got Im.* matter with you anyway? Up to two years ago you wildly denounced our "items,” said that they were worthless. We once heard of a boy who Wore out his pockets by stealing things out of one pocket and hiding them in the other. He was called a natural born thief. But he didn’t steal what he considered “worthless Isms” —things he didn’t want. You do. You tried to steal our graduated’ income tax, but didn’t get away with It. You are now trying to steal our convict road building ism, which has been our property for eighteen years, and our election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. And yo* think you have already got 5 a way with our free stiver isms. “Ah,” you say “the democracy have always been in favor of free silver.” The Moses you have. What party was it that voted down free silver eleven times in the past ten years? While initiating a member into the Sons of Malta, the Recording Scribe writes in the record these words: “The candidate will both He and steal.” You all seem to belong to the Sons of Malta. If you are not arrested you will soon be trying to steal our other isms, limited land ownership and graduated land tax, exempting homesteads .from' tax, public ownership of railroads, telegraphs and telephones. Then you will lie like a lot of hoodlums about whose isms they are. > We’ve been watching the peculiarity of your thievery. You will denounce, ridicule, mir represent and He about one of dur isms until you happen to find out that a majority of the people want It; then you’ set about trying to steal it. Didn’t you steal our greenback platform bodily in 1878? And were you ever greenbackers after you got through that election? I once read of a dog that slipped into front yards and stole morning papers, which he hid in-a-ltfffiber yard. He had evidently been attending democratic, caucuses. That’s where he learned it. You’d better go back to your “tariff,", boys. That is yours. Take your tariff bill before the farmers and show them the beauties of admitting free of duty, diamonds, paintings, statuary and the material for making silk plug hats, and then putting a tax of 40 cents on the dollar on sugar to make up for it. Show them the benefit of striking off the |2 per thousand from lumber and letting In Canada lumber free to supply the prairie states; show them how that enriches Arkansas. But we are not dictating how you shall shinny, only that you shinny on your own side, and let our isms alone. If you don’t we’ll expose you before all the people. This Is only a private, hint. John H. Cherry.
