bination and extortion, have established abb
solute domain over money, over transportation,
over invention, over land and labor.
We demand that the exercise OF the power
aud right Of eminent domain shall never be 90
construed or abridged as to prevent the taking
bv the General Assembly Of the property and

as OF individuals.

freight and passenger tariffs OH the different
railroads in this State, and enforce such lava,
By adequate penalties to the extent, il neces-
sary for that purpose, Of forfeiture Of their
rropc.ty and franchises.
Under the right Of eminent domain, in order
- protect the soil and the people Of the United
States from the curse OF land monopoly aud
the evils which have made serfs and vass lis OF
the masses OF Ireland aud Continental Europe,
We demand the reservation OF the public lands,
including the vast amount claimed by railroad
corporations - grants from the Government

that the unoccupied lands OF oil such railroad
grants be subjected to entry for actual settlement
at the minimum price placed upon contiguous

First, only the most highly organized

what means the same thing, trainable.
After the generally -distributed compan

most teachable animal is the elephant.
Chamisso found intercourse with the
apes on board the Rurik uncommonly
instructive, "for." as Calderon says Of
the ass, "they are almost men," and he
made the profound remark that they
might be able to bring themselves up to
the mark If they did not lack the
property which Newton held to be one

with the exception of the cheetah (Fslis
ia6atd), ruminants and rodents exhibit
only moderate teachability: vet Herr
Fritsch considered the draught-oxen at
the Cape Of Good Hope wiser than the
horse. and in Brazil and Thibet sheep
are trained to carry loads. Among the
birds, the higher ones are the parrots.
starlings, bull6nches and canary birds
the falcon ranks with the cheetah in
teachableness. Chameleons, snakes and
carp are only moderately teachabie.
The training Of bees is only apparent:
they always perform their trick under q
kind OF compulsion. The immense host
Of other creatures all around us show no
more aptitude for training than they do,
for the reason that every animal within
its own circle has no need Of instruction:

A WISE WORD FROM ADDISON.

SAYS Addison =" Health and cheerfulness
mutually beget each other" There are
volumes of truth in this. 1t is difficult To
look at the world through CHEEKY glasses,
when disease has set in upon the loins and
back, and when the liver aud kidneys are
out of order. But cheerfulness returns
with Hunts Remedy, the great kidney aud
liver medicine, because it brings health to
the afflicted The aching back, the sallow
skin, the hollow eye, the distressed feel
ing, the bent body, the despondent mind,
give way before Hunts Remedy to the
bloom of health, the bounding step, the
cheerful spirit, the renewed strength, and
to prolonged lease of vigorous life.

think it over. The more he reviewed the
matter, the more unnecessary his suffer

wrong impression he had never given
himself chance to correct it. He had
shrunk with foolish shyness from pco-
pie, when half an hour of their company
would have revealed the truth. One
question, the most trihing accident, would
have revealed it; but he had never ask

he had avoided using any name with the
instinct of a lover, when he spoke to her,

deeper into vain affection. and what a
fool he had been The comfort was
that she had not btea in the least to
