But perhaps Washing. ton, Jefferson, CUy, Webster, Linooln and a host of others were all wsong while our school books oDly taught a multiplicity of errors, and the elite, the nerve and backbone of all society was really those who possessed the aooumu lation of vast wealth. But f suoh was the oase, then our government lived a long time on but little nerve and less backbone, and where did our soldiers of the revolution get the strength that car ried them through the well fought bat tles, so like men of backbone? If you tell me that the wealthy are the stay of aooiety, then my patriotic heart begins to swell with emotions and I very naturally cry to my countrymen beware bow you vote lest you bring yourselves into abject servitude to the money power. We have already had an inkling of what we may expeot if we allow the gulden chain welded upon our pedestals through the legislative sots of the money power, and now that they feel oonfldent uf their ability through their robberies of our poblio treasury to control the sil ver, many of tbtm are going to make a stand upon the silver platform, thinking to draw as many votes tiom t e different parties as poxsible.

The enthusiasm with which the search tor monazite is now being pros ecuted in the Piedmont section of North and South Carolina is something remarkable. Men, women and chil dren talk about it, dream about it, search for it, and would perhaps eat it if it could bo prepared so that it would be palatable. For two hundred years the planters on the coast stumbled over phosphate rock, which had been brought to the surface, and considered it of no value. Finally, says the New York Sun, after the late war, a man of scientific turn of mind began to investi gate this rock, and as a result an in dustry has sprung up that now amounts to millions of dollars annually. In like manner gold miners year after year in their search for gold along the streams of this Piedmont section have been finding in their pans a heavy yellowish sand which they cast aside as worthless. This has all been completely reversed in the last twenty months, and nowadays a pros pector will cast aside fair specimens of gold while prosecuting his search for monazite. To obtain monazite from the hundred little streams that are found in the monazite belt the prospector sets out provided with shovel and pan. With his shovel he scoops out a hole in the bed of the stream or near by it. IIo goes through the alluvial deposit until he strikes a whitish sand and gravel. Of this he takes a panful and washes it out, carefully examining quality and quantity. After prospecting in several different places, he is able to decide whether the "branch," as these small streams are called in the south, is worth working. II it promises well a trial is made. Contractors do most of the mining, taking leases and paying a royalty of from one-seventh to one-fifth. Occa sionally the monazite privilege is bought straight out, and in some instances two hundred dollars an acre has been paid. Sometimes, however, the owners work their own lands. Common, unskilled laborers are cm ployed to do the work. "Strippers" are tho hands who clear away the top soil, removing all timber growing thereon. They go down to the sand and gravel. The gravel gang comes next. They carefully lift out all of the monazite sand and turn it over to tho washers, who get out all gravel, silver, and clay, leaving a mixture of heavy material behind. 1 his goes through a second washing, and the material left Is marketable monazite. Tho washing la done in a wooden trough from twelve to eighteen feet In length, twelve inches wide and twelve decn. Tlior" Is r """it, vo-fnntrd j plate at the upper cnii of the Oox, through which tho monazite drops, while the lighter htulT and clay llo:it away. A stream of water flows through the box. Lxpcrt wasliern reei-ive one dollar a day, but there nro plenty of men who do this work fairly well, and are anxious to work at hixt.y-(lvo cents per day. Ovi-roeer and time keepers receive one tlnllur and a half. : This is considered fair wages down south, where there in little demand for day labor now. i The hand Is about as current m gold dust, six cents a pound being the aver age prii'e. It is estimated that a group of wcll-nmniiged bandit will make twice their daily wages. Letters of In-, qulry come from all countries seeking information about monazite, and, judg ing by the number and character of these received by the geological eurvey from vurjous LuroM-an countries, the Industry and the amount of money brought into this Piedmont section for monazite this year will hardly amount to less than one hundred thousand dol lar. Monazite has been found in small quanliliea in Russia, Norway, llohemlu, and in gold washings in Ura cil and in the mica veins at Quebec, but nowhere has it been found in such enormous quantities as In this belt. j A Gloucester (N. J.I compuny is the only concern manufacturing monn.ite In this country. The valun of sand tie js nds upon the rare uictul, thorium, which It contains, which is separated from the associated material by very complicated chemical processet, which arc kept secret from every one except those who manipulate tho operation. It la then used in tho manufia'-turo of incandescent gat burners of di.Tcrent forma The finding of monazite la the best thing that bus ever occurred for thn poorer Miip) of the aeetion in which it la found. Hundreds f day laborer are now feeding their families with the money madn in thh industry. An&QXMEEW PURE COLONIES FOR THE WEST. Surplus Population or the Eat to Settle on A rlil Western Lands. i It has been years since the cry of "Westward, ho!" has been heard in the eastern states, and meantime the cities and thriving manufacturing centers east of tho Mississippi have been rapid ly filling to the point of overcrowding, until labor is a drug on tho market. Mining, which attracted so many hun dreds of people from tho east many years ago, has lost its glamour, hunting and trapping have too many devotees already to encourage more to enter this life to-day, granger life on the western scale requires too much capi tal and the too-plentiful foreclosure of western farm mortgages has been dis couraging to those who may have been considering emigration. All theso things have tended to stagnate tho population of the east, and the result is alarming to all concerned, capital and labor alike. An opportunity has presented itself at dast, through what is known as the Carey law, passed by the Fifty-third congress, by which each of eight west ern states was granted one million acres of arid land located within their borders on condition that they utilize them for agriculture, through irriga tion, and prove to the secretary of tho interior that their irrigation plans ore feasiblo. Five of the eight states have accepted the proposition, and one moro is ex pected to reply favorably before long. The national irrigation congress, a body composed of delegates from twenty-three western states, has appointed a national irrigation commission, which body is engaged in forming colonies to ' take up these arid lands and carry them on by irrigation under proper and scien tific direction. Some of the details of the scheme are given in the ltoston Transcript. It is the purpose of the commission to form colonial clubs throughout the east, wherever there is a congestion of popu lation, and these clubs will disseminate information concerning the present and future possibilities of tho western coun try. It is not intended to send out sepa rate families, which would certainly liecome entangled in dilllculties, if not properly directed. Whole colonies are to be organized and dispatched to fa vorable localities, wilh men competent to teach them tho solution of tho prob lem, of irrigation und agriculture. These colonists it is proposed to orfinn izo on the principles upon which the successful Mormon colonics were car ried on. An organization, to be known ns the Plymouth colony, is now being formed lo take up lands in Iduho. Kuch member of this colony Ih to furnish one thousund dollars capital. Tho land Is lo be taken in small holdings, und the whole managed on the basis of a co operative village. I SELLS How the SLAVS GIRLS. Queen or Cores Sustains Bar Itnyal Purse. There are slave girls innumerable around the royal palaces of the hermit kingdom of Corea, says the Philadel phia Press. It is difficult to find out how many there are. One official will say hundreds, another thousands. A consul who has had opportunity to learn the facts in the case says there are about fifteen hundred. It is equally difficult to learn where they come from. Their appearance shows that they are not trom any one stock. Some are Coreans and some are Tonghaks, from Guing-Shang-Do, in the south of the kingdom; some show i Japanese blood, others Chinese and still others Manchurian. They are of all sorts and types. All speak Corean and nearly all have a smattering of Chinese. They are all well brought up and quiet, polite and Industrious. They I begin their career as domestic servants when mere children and are seldom found in tho royal establishment after they are twenty-five years old. A few who aro unusually . good-looking be come royal concubines and a large number arc taken for tho same purpose by the princes and lords of the realm, and, it is said, for a very large price. Tho rest are sold as commodities to tha highest bidder and tho proceeds paid into the royal treasury. The latest available blue book of Corea 18S4 in summarizing tho royal income, includes theso articles: "Ninety-one thousand nine hundred and seventeen stone of best rice. "Forty-one thousand four hundred and eighty-four stone of beans. "One hundred and Bcventy-two thou sand seven hundred and thirteen nyang in money. "Twenty-four thousand nyang from sale of Rlave girls." A nyang ia a string of one hundred copper coins, whoso value in American money ranges from five hundred to one thousand to the dollar. Tho market raluo of a girl in Corea varies from ten to forty dollars. Upon these figures the monarch must raise and sell In the public market every year from thirty to four hundred and eighty young women. Tho general averugo would bo about two hundred per year. The custom is not so bad as it seems at first sight. Tho majority aro purchased by men for their wives, and a ainull mi nority for Immoral purposes. Thin trade in human beings is con sidered perfectly legitimate and has come down from time immemorial. It hi not confined to the royal pulaco but is practiced to a certain extent nil over Cocrca. The custom in followed like wise in China aud secm:i to character ize ueurly every Mongolian race. HIGH EXPLOSIVES. Ivii h Groat Nation Una On anil Eiyerl nmnts with It Rrrrotly.
