moat of the engineer corps of the
army and navy (a department of gov
jernment free from taint of corruption
' or partisanship, and of world wide
fame for efficiency), a million or more
of laborers may be most profitably em
ployed fur years to come on such public
works as the building of the Cape Cod
Canal, too Hennepin Canal, the Mica
ragua canai, tne permanent in: prove
meat 01 tne Mississippi river, the vast
Irrigation works needed in the arid
regions of the west, the drainage of
Vch large swamp tracts as the Kanka
kee swamp, (where, at a coat of two
million dollars, more than twcntv
' million dollars of land can bo redeem
d), the great swamps of the south, and
last but not least, the construction of
pood systems of public highways in all
sections of nearly every state, (for
wmcD. were is an urgent demand.)
' The labor problem stands before us a
pectre of possible and probable revolu
- tion. The continued appeal for work
to do, goes up to that God whose ear is
always open to the needy when thev
try. The million of idle men are needy

ibarket woulu oe nko a safety valve,
, until a peaceful evolution of a satisfac
tory solution can be arrived at.
, The government now employs 150,000
men in postollice and civil ser
vice. It employs thousands in tho
army and navy.
In the manufacture of navAl nrrl
I nance and army supplies government
lnhops are models of efficiency and suc-
' ces6f ul industry.
The proposed employment of labor
on great works of permanent wealth
will not interfere with skilled labor
now employed; but will bj a great
stimulus to all other lines of labor and
production.
Thirty yean ago the srovernment
.ompioyea a million 01 men, whose voca

other. What matter how rapid immi

Mori Suup lor Hie Toilers.
Editor Alliance-Independent:
1 happened to read in the Oaiiha
Bee December 7, an article headed
"The Problem of Good Roads." Now
my dear fellow toilers, this is just tho
soup wo need to fatten on. Wo are
told that with good roads we can haul
double tbo loads. The trouble with
the farmers has not been in raising
crops oi- hauling them off, but in get
ting living prices.
Aow I am a lover of good roads and
am not kicking against thorn, but
against tho Bee's idea of putting tho
good roads agitation to tho front while
issues of vital importance to our liberty
ana prosperity are unsettled. The
Bee says: "Today the matter of good
roads is being agitated all over our
broad laud. The daily and weekly
press, both secular and religious, and
the monthly periodicils are dlscussin?
the question in all its bearings."
ssow l nave no aouoi oi thi3. but the
fact itself is a suspicious circumstance.
The "Almighty Dallar" is bihind it.
The plutocrats are seeking through
bonding of counties and districts to set
a more absolute hold on our farms.
The batter the roads are built, the
nicer it will b3 for those fellows when
they close us out fa front of our so-
called temples of justice, (court houses).
rney wouia oina tne whiu slaves of
our land more securely by fastening a
heavier debt up m them. J
lhls is undoubiedly Mr. I3e water's
idea. He w.uits the national e-ovarn-
ment to tako hold of the work. Of
course this would Involve the isme of
more bonds, pavable in gold, interest
and principal. Taen the gold-bugs can
buy the bonds, perhaps at a discount.
The will come the everlasting drain
of interest which must be paid from
the products of our toil.
Now if these fellow3 are determined
to have good roads, let's have the gov
ernment issue legal tender notes to pay
the expanse. We have no more me
fop bonds. Yours for justice,
it D Henrv Hgitholt.

pMR Editok: Sinee election it is
quite interesting to hear the leadei'3 of
the od parties talk over the situation.
At first it looked as though the demo
crats would have it all their own way,
but the g. o. p. never gives up while
there is a ghost of.a show for them and
they now come, out boldly and claim
they will have a majority in the U. S
senate. I heard a leading republican
say a few days ago that they would buy
legislators, supremo courts or anything

Assistant County Clerk, and it was not
until he began to get drunk and light
his cigars with deeds and mortgages
that we had anything to say. lie
felt revengeful for our remarks,
and in order to get even with
ns gave a prand party one
night last week and cut us dead. Not
only that, but he bragged of it and .so
did his wife. The idea was to belit tle
and desrrade us in a social wav. but we
don't think anyone will try it on
again. We telegraphed up to Juliet
that the Major was here, and day be
fore yesterday he was taken back to
serve out the otuer two years of his
service. We understand that his wife
is furious because we also learned that
she used to perform iu a beer hall con
cert in Philadelphia, but we can't help
it. They set out to s!ay and got slaved,
and must make the best of it. "We
never attack any one, but if stepped on
we always seek to make it hot for the
steppist.
A few plaix wonusBeinc on this
subject and not wishing to refer to it
again, we wish to say a few words to
our home readers. The quest ion is
often asked, "Who is the leader of
society in this town?" We desire to
settle that question right here and
now. We are. There isn't the slight
est doubt that we are the
oniy man in trus town using per
fumed soap, a tooth-brush, and having a
white shirt which buttons behind. We
are the only one, so far as we can
learn, who has regular summer socks,
eats with a fork, or knows to what use
to put a table napkin. We don't brag
of these things. We were brought up
that way. and it's perfectly natural.
We ar gentle and refined. No one
ever saw us exepectorate on the floor
while dancing, and we don't want a
brick-layer's trowel to eat ice cream
with. Ve trust this will settle the
question at once and forever.
The Other Side. We understand
that Hank Curtis is telling everybody
in town, t hat we tried to murder him
