A fatal and terriMe Algerian

nearly double that many lovers,
some of whom were murdered at
her behest, has just been condemned
to twenty years’ penal servitude at
Oran for infanticide. She was bom
in 1848, but is still of ravishing
beauty. She was .first married at
the age of sixteen, was divorced
shortly afterward, married again
and shot her second husband, as
she found him engaged in dalliance
witji a rival. For this offense she
was imprisoned for five years and
on regaining her freedom she mar­
ried a Marabout, embarked in poli­
tics and incited the tribes to the
rising of 1881. When the insurrec­
tion was over the fatal Fatma ran
away from her Marabout and had
in succession four husbands, her
seventh one being lucky enough to
live to see his dangerous wife sent
to prison for a good round period,
during which she will be kept care­
fully out of mischief.— London Tele­

BOOMERANG BOOMS.
The residents of Webfoot can
thank their lucky stars that Oregon
has had no boom like California, to
leave it in a deplorable condition.
Fictitious values always prove dis­
astrous. A city or county may
float for awhile on the high tide of
prosperity—but such prosperity is
of short duration. Many must reap
the result of the whirlwind. A let­
ter from a former resident of this
valley vividly portrays the situa­
tion: “I am weary of the infernal
sleepiness of a dead boom town—a
town of empty brick buildings,
empty heads and empty pockets.
Money is slow in forthcoming;
everyone is despondent. A tumble
of greatness is imminent. I long to
return to the land of plenty—Ore­
gon.”— Ea»t Portland Vindicator.

A SPEECH BY VOORHEES.
T e K re H aute , Ind., August 4.—
Senator Voorhees spoke at a dem­
ocratic demonstration here to-night
as follows:
“Every movement in the ma­
chinery of government set in motion
by the republican leaders and man­
agers has been to swell and bloat
the gains of the rich and increase
the burdens of the poor. The re­
publican conspiracy to fasten the
fangs of the money power in the
struggling body of American labor
took its first great step when, in
authorizing the legal tender cur­
rency in 1862, the greenback, the
immortal and glorious greenback,
was discriminated against and made
non-receivable for duties on im­
ports and for interest on the bonded
debt. No financial measure was
ever more oppressive and destruc­
tive to the rights of labor in its re­
sults than this.”
The senator declared that this
act enabled the bullionists of Wall
street to realize a profit in “naked
speculation” with the bonds and
currency of the nation of nearly
$1,000,000. “I do not believe any
other people on the globe would
have submitted unless restrained
by force to the monstrous act of
congress in March, ’69. By one
dishonest stroke of a dishonest pen,
guided and held by dishonest
leaders of a great party, the debt
which labor has to pay was swollen
25 per cent.”
The speaker then quoted a letter
written by John Sherman in 1860,
wherein Sherman said: “I think
the bondholder violates his promises
when he refuses to take the same
kind of money he paid for his
bond.” Why, asked the speaker,
should not the greenbacks come to
the front at this time, and all
times, when the interests of the la­
boring classes are under considera­
tion. Persistently stigmatized and
caricatured sb a rag baby, de­
nounced as dishonest money, a
fraud upon the business and com­
mercial world, yet it stands to-day
with its purchasing power as great
as the brightest gold. “The repub­
lican candidate for president sug­
gested in 1878 that an idiot asylum
should be erected for the believers
in the greenback. I believed in
the greenback then, and do now,
and I take my place alongside of
you, under Geri. Harrison’s swell­
ing, intolerant, brutal criticism and
denunciation. He canvassed the
state in 1878 as the candidate of
his party for the senate, as I did as
the candidate of mine, and the
people of Indiana decided by more
than 30,000 majority that he was
nearer a financial idiot than I was,
and that I should go back to
Washington.”
Senator Voorhees then entered
upon the tariff issue, and recounted
the history of modern tariff legisla­
tion. No relief, the speaker de­
clared, was offered to labor by the
resort to the domestic excise sys­
tem. On the contrary, this system
was made the pretext for a still
further enroachment on the part of
monopoly and greed against the
rights of those who toil. The two
acts of congress of 1862 and 1864,
by which protective duties were
made to ascend to a Pike’s peak al­
titude, were demanded on the ex­
press ground that the manufacturer
NO. 2.
’
should be compensated for the
amount of his internal tax. On
this point the speaker quoted ex­
tensively from Senators Morrill, Al­
lison and others. For nineteen
years the republican party had
caused the people to pay the manu­
facturer at least a hunnred millions
a year, in consideration of a tax
paid by the manufacturer to the
government,
The money kings
have thus far resisted every effort
to reduce the mountainous tariff
duties t>y which they have drained
the earnings of the people.
Senator Voorhees then discussed
the labor question and the surplus,
and declared that the labor interests
of the country need in circulation
every dollar that can be spared
from the expenses of the .govern­
ment, and yet there is piled up, as
useless surplus, enough of the
people’s money to pay down cash
more than $200 for every day since
the birth of Christ.
Touching upon the republican in­
ternal revenue plank, Senator Voor­
hees said in this Christian land and
age men sometimes spoken of as
Christian statesmen have nothing
better than free whisky and tobacco
to offer the people in response to
their cry for relief. The slave
holders of the South once belonged
to the class which composed the
money power, they once were mo­
nopolists of cheap, underpaid labor.
The most bitter and implacable
supporters of slavery thirty years
ago were, in fact, the most success­
ful and efficient abolitionist of the
nineteenth century. They stniek
too far, and their blows came back
to destroy them, and so it will be
with the purse-proud, insolent and
misled tax-eaters of the presnt day.
By making no concession to the
ovei-taxed people,, and by refusing
a single dollar of reduction on the
necessities of life, but, on the con­
trary, insisting that whisky and to­
bacco should be free, the manufac-
facturers have done more to pro­
mote ideas of freer trade in this
country in the last few months than
thé eloquent and gifted tongues and
pens of Frank Hurd, Henry Wat­
terson and David A. Wells.
The speaker touched upon the
pari C*en- Harrison took in sup­
pressing the riots in 1877 and
closed by saying that as attorney
for Blaine Harrison committed a
crime against the state by declar­
ing, in dismissal of the Blaine suit
against an Indianapolis paper, that
justice'could not be obtained in the
state.
A sensational dispatch from Aus­
tralia states that the Chinese em­
peror has issued an edict to all his
subjects in the British colonies to
wind up their respective business
and affairs within the next three
years, and to return to China by
the expiration of that period. Taken
in connection with the fact that
China is building ordinance fac­
tories and arsenals and construct­
ing war ships, the inference is that
she intends going to war with Eng­
land as soon as she can prepare
for it
The San Francisco Alta says:
“It may be funny or serious, just as
you look at it, but it is one or the
other. The congressional commit­
tee sent to New York to investigate
violations of the contract labor law,
finds its first duty to be the investi­
gation of Levi P. Morton for im­
porting labor under contract.”
