GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
The Tollers of the Nation Arm Organizing
to Fight the Honey Power.
To obtain an encouraging' idea of the
strength and spirit of the reform move
ment which the pirate parties will have
to face in 1802, read the following-,
which we find over the signature of
John Brown, in the Missouri Union, and
then gird on your armor:
"Five hundred thousand votes were
cast by the Knights of Labor, and inde
pendent political action received ten for
to one against.
"Powderly, Beaumont and Wright
were appointed as a committee to con
fer with other organization and issue
the call. The general assembly of the
F. M. B. A. of Illinois passed a resolu
tion to co-operate.
"This call will represent 3,500,000 or
ganized producers.. Never in the his
tory of mankind has such a thing oc
curred. In that vast body are some of
the deepest thinkers, finest oraters and
best journalists in the land.
"The coffers of the enemy will be
opened and the subsidized press will
begin a campaign of ridicule, slander
and vituperation. Murat Halstead will
cry 'bumming demagogues.' And the
New York Sun will think the air stinks
of old "hayseed.
"Stop the movement? No, never.
There is nothing on the earth or in the
waters that can ward off this cyclone.
It will sweep the country as the ava
lanche does the side of the mountain. '
"Ready? Oh yes. Twenty years of
idleness for labor, tramps on every
hand, idle, starving, savage and des
perate; yes, it is time. The farmer has
been taxed by the scheming few until
he gets less thanforty per cent of what
he earns.
"The farmer is ready. Fellow-laborers,
who are on the fence, fall in I Old
guard to the front! You have waited
long, but we are coming, eight millions
strong. Forward? Do you hear the
rumbling sound? It is the farmers' al
liance, the grangers, the knights of la
bor, patrons of husbandry, farmers'
mutual benefit association, national
ists, union labor men, trade unionists,
wheelers and all other friends of a com
mon humanity. See them moving in
Kansas, South Carolina, Dakota, New
York, Massachusetts, Illinois and Indi
ana. Ye gods, what a stir they make.
Third party? No, sir; this il the first
party, the people, which means to de
stroy the laws made in the interest of
selfish greed, and see to it that right
and justice rule this country. Unite!
Unite! Brothers, we are to-day fight
ing a British power ten times more nu
merical than King George in 1776. We
send men to congress who commit acts
in favor of Lombard street's money
power whioh would have caused them
at that time to have graced trees along
side of the British spy, Andre." Pacific

LOOKING FOR WO R K.
Why Are Not the Half Million Idle Men
Put to Work?
The Scientific American, a purely
scientific publication and entirely con
servative, 6ays:
There are In the United States In this year
1691, five hundred thousand seekers for work
a half million people, of both sexes and all
ages, looking for employment!"
This statement is based upon the com
putation of Hon. Carroll D. Wright
United States commissioner of labor,
and an authority than whom there is
none higher. Now, why is it that in
this country there are half a million
idle peoples-people who are anxious
to find work at which they could earn
an honest living? Is it because there
is no work for them to do? Then God
has made the terrible mistake of cre
ating half a million too many people
and has not yet found it out, for he is
all the time creating more. The very
thought is sacrilegious, but it is justi
fied by the argument that there Is no
work for these thousands of idle people
to do.
Is there really no work? Look around
and see. Oo to the cities where the
center of wealth is supposed to be.
There are hundreds of old tumble-down
shanties in which miserable people are
living wretched lives. These old struct
ures that long since outlived their age
and usefulness should be torn away and
something more like human habitations
erected in their place. Would this af
ford anybody work? It would employ
laborers to tear down the old buildings,
teamsters to haul away the rubbish,
architects to plan the new houses, dig
gers to excavate he cellars, quarrymen
to get out the stone, cutters tq dress
them, masons to lay the foundations,
brickmakers to prepare th brick,
teamsters to haul them, builders to
place them in the walls, carpen
ters to do the wood work, mil
lers to prepare the lumber, glass
makers to make the glass, glaziers to
put them in the windows, finishers to
do the nice work inside, manufacturers
to make the paints, painters to put them
on tha mind is actually bewildered at
the laborers this nne line of improve
ments would employ aqd i( U, work
badly needed to be done, a work human
comfort demands.
Is there any Work needed to be done
in the shops and factories? Mix with
the people without regard to class or
calling. Note the hats that should be
replaced with new ones, the shoes that
let In both cold and water, the absence
of overcoats, the worn and patched
garments and then make up your minds
whether or not additional work should
be done in the factories. And whom
would thjs employ? An army of labor
ers from the first, inception of the raw
material to the perf ected article
Is there any work needed to be done
in the country? Ask yourselves, farm
ers. Walk about your farms and see.
Wouldn't you like to have those stumps
uprooted and taken out of the fields?
That thicket over yonder grubbed out?
That middle fence that has already
caused you some trouble repaired?
That bottom field tiled and drained? A
pond dug out jn the pasture lot? The
barn repaired, made lapgex and painted?
You have long intended to build ft new

that now. The poultry, doing their
best to repay you f$r he little atten
tion they receive, need fetter quarters
and you would like to accommodate
them. Your plows are getting badly
worn, and the very necessities, of your
calling demand implements and ma
chinery that you have not But why
prolong this investigation? To do all

the farm. r. done now, would em
ploy thousands of idle bauds.
And yet hands are' not ' employed.
Half a million of people in the United
States seeking work and cannot find it!
And (there is more work to be done m
the United States than in any other
country on earth. Why as not these
idle hands employed? Why 4oh't yp
have somebody to do the work you
would like so well to have done on your
arm? Let your answer come in thunder
tones, nd let it echo from mountain
top to valley. Let Jt reverberate along
the rivers and sweep tvaroas the prairies.
Let it be heard above the busy din of
the city's strife, and let it add a sound
o the noise of the shop and the rattle of
the witt, for your answer will be the
answer of ail-w-J have not got the
money!" That tells the story, These
five hundred thousand people are not
idle because there is no work for them
to do, and the work does not go undone
because there Js QQly to do it It is
because there is no mcwusy.
The f armer cannot employ labor bwr
cause the products of his farm bring
hjm no did fits. The manufacturer .can
not employ labor because the farmer is
unable to buy his wares. The landlord
cannot employ labor because his tenants
are unable to pay him rental on better
houses. And so it goes through the en
tire line of labor. All because of a lack
of money. And why a lack of money?
Because money has been made a mar
ketable product, an article of specula
tion, has been given into the control of
Shylock whose god is greed, and who
compels the courts and congresses to
sustain his satanic schemes of plunder,
and leave the laborer-bound and help
less at his triumphant chariot wheels.
Nero fiddled in satanic glee while Borne
was swept by devouring flames, and his
name has become a word of undying
hate. When the people wake to the
wrongs they have suffered and realize
the crimes that have been perpetrated
upon them, in the name of law, the
statesmen who instigated and connived
at those crimes will take their place on

ANOTHER CONVERT.
A Well Known and Prominent Kansas Ed
itor "Sees the Point."
Says ' the Midland Mechanic: Sol
Miller, editor of the Troy Chief, has
probably said as many mean things
about the alliance as any man in Kan
sas. Just listen to what he has to say
about the cry of driving capital out of
the state by legislation in favor of the
mortgage-ridden people of that state:
"The alliance people are not the only
ones that cause a feeling of weariness.
The other extreme is holding them
leveL This eternal cant about capital
being timid, and about driving capital
from the state almost forces one to the
feeling that the alliance "men and the
men called anarchists have some justice
on their side. Must everybody be taxed
and regulated by law, but the capital
ist allowed to go free and to do as he
pleases? We hear an almost in
cessant squall about driving cap
ital out of the state, but not
a word of driving out the bone and
sinew. If a law is proposed regulating
interest on money and preventing rob
bery in the shape of usury, the cry goes
up that it will drive capital out of the
state. If a measure is suggested giving
an unfortunate man a little time in
which to save his property after the
mortgage is foreclosed, we hear the
same tune about driving out capital. If
a law is recommended taxing mort
gages a shriek goes up that splits the
welkin wide open, about driving capital
out of the state. The farmer's land,
the mechanic's house and lot, the mer
chant's goods may be taxed all they
will bear, and we hear nothing about
driving them out; but propose to com
pel the hog with money to bear his
share of the public burdens, and it will
drive out capital.
"A farmer's land is taxed the same
whether it is mortgaged or clear of in
cumbrance. The law requires that
money shall be taxed, but cannot. But
let that capitalist loan that farmer
$3,000, at 8 to 12 per cent, interest; his
money is in shape where it is in sight.
The land is still there and Is taxed; but
when it is proposed to tax, the $2,000,
then the howl comes that it will drive
capital out of the state; it will compel
the borrower to pay higher interest; it
is taxing the same amount double. How
is it? The land is still taxed the same
as it was before and the farmer has to
pay it. What becomes of the money?
It is invested in a mortgage on the land,
and the farmer, besides his taxes, is
paying 10 per cent, interest on the
money. If the money is in the land,
then the farmer is paying more than
double that tax upon it he is paying on
the land and three times as much more
on the money, in the way of interest.
No fear of running him out, but you
must not run capital out of the state by
taxing if
Another Outrage.
The American Live Stock Commission
Co., which the Kansas Alliance
Exchange Co., had made its agent
for the sale of live stock, has been ex
pelled from the Kansas City exchange.
Why? The live stock exchange has
fixed a certain arbitrary rate of com,?
mission which shall be oharged for the
sale of stock, by which immense profits
have been realized at the expense of
stock men. The American Live Stock
Commission Co. is a co-operative com
pany whioh pays a dividend to its stock
holders from the proceeds of its busi
ness. It violated no rule of the live
stock exchange. It charged the same
commission as other salesmen. The
members of the alliance being stock
holders in the company through the
Kansas Alliance Exchange Co. were al
lowed to participate in the profits of the
business. For this the company is ex
pelled and an attempt is made to organ
ize a boycott against it among the buy
ers of live stock. This gives the screw
one more turn. . We repeat our question
of a few weeks ago: How long will
Such things be tolerated under the laws
of this country, and how long will the
people submit to these outrages? To

FACIAL GYMNASTICS.
Sow One's Countenance Becomes the Index
of One's Character.
The face is the indgx, the mirror of
thought- ''Watch a man's face, note the
eye flash, catch the expression, and you
know the man; no need of words," says
th Lavater of to-day, the man of shrewd
business tact. And so it is in truth,
since, with pity be it said, Talleyrand is
often right: "Words are used but to
eonceal thought." When thought is suf
ficiently strong to stir the nature, it
shows itself first in the wake-up of' the
eye, as most closely connected with the
brain, It next spreads its impulse pver
the face, moving some muscle of month
or cheek or brow, and, if not spent, ac
cording to its force, sweeps outward to
arm and hand, and perhaps finally
presses the body into action,
Gesture is any movement of muscle
whioh follows or expresses emotion. It
is continued face gesture, frequently
useless, frVm year to year, which brings
wrinkled age. One should recognize
that there is all the difference in the
world between the impulse of genuine
emotion and feeling, with the natural
gestures and play of face and feature,
and those' rultltudinous and incessant
facial gymnastics with which conversa
tion Is frequently -absurdly enliyened
and sxabellished. The same may be
said of the extreme use of the arm and
hand, slashing, pounding and pointing,
when no snoh force is needed; it rarely
is in the, gentle, flow of social life. It is,
however, much a matter of temperament
ana climate, .
One finds those of Southern clime and
warm blood, or of light, volatile nature,
as the French, depending upon action
to help the words; but be it remembered
that it is in effect still the samea
wat f)f force and energy. The woman
who oontinHaUy .retchfs her eyes,
twists, screws and contracts hev typ
mouthing her words and sentences, how
ever charming, is forming habits of
muscle use which will surely trace pre
mature and indelible lines. Harper's

THE STORY OF THE MOUNTAIN.
It Tells of the Wonderful Awe-Inspiring;
Power of Nature.
Beginning at the base of the moun
tain and running back for a mile dark,
grim, silent and making a score of
twists and turns as it goes. Is what they
call a canyon.
It is the grave of ages the tomb of
silence the trail over which a man.
maddened by loneliness, hunger and
despair, would go to his death.
If you peer into the awful darkness
you may see the fiery orbs of the grizzly
or the panther. If you walk a little way
you may rouse a -rattlesnake. Nothing
else seeks this retreat; no other living
thing could endure the monotonous mid
night and the terrible silence.
One day no man knoweth when the
people of the past ages wHo dwelt be
side this mountain arose to find the
morning sky blood-red and angry.
There was no stir in the air. The sun
was long in showing its face, and it
seemed to mock and jeer the people as
it looked down upon them. The birds
cried out as they flew wildly about.
The wild hares came to crouch at the
feet of the awe-struck people. The wild
horses stood and sniffed the air and
pawed the earth and trembled.
"What is it?"
White lips framed the query, but none
could answer. The atmosphere grew
leaden; dust arose from the earth to ob
scure the sun; men and women clutched
at something to keep their feet. Then
earth "and sky suddenly crashed to
gether, and such was the rending, grind
ing, tearing that the wails of ten thou
sand terror-stricken people could not
rise above it. It was hours before the
ground grew firm and solid before the
dust settled down before the blue sky
appeared to cheer the hearts ready to
burst with terror and despair.
All eyes turned toward the mountain.
A great chasm appeared. It was as if
nature had placed her fingers in a crev
ice and with one mighty effort opened a
wide dark pathway into the bowels of
the earth. The united strength of all
the people of the earth could not have
done that, and no wonder that man fell
down and hid his face ashamed,
abashed, realizing his nothingness.
.
Look up there.
We have made half the circuit of the
mountain, and are now on the north
side. There is a rocky, steep-faced cliff
before us, extending out for 200 feet
on either side of the center. You see
a great seam extending from top to bot
tom ragged, erratic, sinister in its way.
On this side dwelt thousands of other
strange people people stranger to us
than the Aztecs whose bones we find in
the cliff caves. There came to them
just such an angry sunrise just such
a menacing sky the same warnings
and forebodings of some awful disaster.
"What is it?" they asked of each
other, but none answered. They were
almost helpless with terror, when some
one was seen seeking the shelter of the
canyon whose mouth yawned before
them. It broke the spell, and with wild
shouts and hurrying feet a great
throng passed into the rift. They were
crowded further and further they were
packed closer and closer as the tide
flowed in.
Then they spoke to each other in
whispers and waited.
Crash!
Crash!
On one side the mountain Nature tore
a pathway through tree and rock and
dirt deep into the bowels of the earth.
On the other aide she seized the sides of
the grim ravine and brought them to
gether as you might the sides of a paper
boat. One cry in chorus, one long-drawn
shriek of horror from the thousands
packed in the cruel trap, and then all was
still. Detroit Free Press.
NEXT TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
Twp Men Get Terr Close to a Cheap Din
ner, But Paid a Sizeable Bill.
Men who have traveled all over the
world are saying that some of the table
d'hote dinners in New York are the best
they ever found. It is a fact that in one
small and secluded cafe such a repast is
served for one dollar as no man not
versed in the delicate art of cookery
could ever select for himself. One of
the greatest gourmets of the town re
cently went into raptures over this
cheap and delicious dinner, and told all
his friends that they must not miss it.
One night he met two acquaintances
from out of town, and, as he was unable
to dine with them, he gave the address
of the restaurant where the table d'hote
was served, saying they must go there
by all means. The two strangers started
up town together, stopping in on their
way at various art galleries where pictur
esque appetizers were freely disposed of,
and finally arriving at their restaurant.
To the waiter one of them said that
they did not wish to see any bill of fare,
but they would trust him to serve a
first-class dinner. It was indeed such a
one in every respect, and the diners
uttered blessings upon the friend who
had sent them to a place where the best
of viands Were so 'cheap. The claret
was surprisingly fine, and it put the
friends in such a glowing mood that
they resolved to go into a little extra
expense by ordering a bottle of cham
pagne. Alter cigars were lighted, one
of the men called for the check, and, as
his eyes fell upon the addition, a-look of
consternation spread over his face. He
called the waiter.
"Isn't there some mistake about this?"
he asked.
"Non," monsieur," responded the
waiter.
"But ycra served us a table, d'hqte din
ner, didn't yqu, for a dollar V'"
"O, non, monsieur," replied the waiter;
ze plate vera zay sairve ee table d'hote
is two doors below."
"What's the bill, Jack?" asked the
man opposite.
Fifteen dollars," replied Jack.
Both men allowed their cigar to go
out while they mentally kicked them

indifferent tone, of a doctor with whom he
was slightly acquainted, as he met hira on the
street. "Advice,' was the laconic reply. So
do we. We advise you not to ncjrlcct that
hacking coupli and drowsy feeling, the coated
tongue, the faiiintr appetite, the indigestion
and peneral lassitude and debility that " tired
feeling," as so many express it. Take Dr.

every case, or money refunded.
