THE MONOPOLIST ALWAYS WINS IN
ELECTIONS.

The cunning of the monopolists and capital
lists has taught them that II they can only keep
the people Of the country voting according to
party lines, they then can govern the
country which ever party pervalls. Did
/ need evidence of this, it would be in
the declaration ascribed to the largest
and ablest railroad king in the country,
Mr.. Gould, WHO'S said to have testified before a
committee, in substance, that when he had
Democratic legislature 10 manipulate he was
a Democrat, and whenever a Republican leg
islature, he was a Republican. That IS to say,
to carry his measures. he helped elect. by his
money, Democrats and Republicans indiscrim-
inately; but both sets of his members were
always Gould men.
No monOpolist cares which party wins. He
is only anxious that the nominating cOnven-
ton Of each party should nominate candi-
date whom he can control.

FUSE

In framing your electoral ticket, make 4
fusion in all the States with the supposed mi
nority, and make it upon this theory; not that
you are going to vote for the electors Of any
candidate opposed to your interests, not that
the friends Of the other candidate are gong
to vote for yours, but agree that you will run
the same electoral ticket, provided the cleo
tors who compose it are as they ought to be,
reputable men who will be bound by their
honorable undertakings, which is all there is
that binds the electoral college to vote in any
direction; and then have it agreed that the
electoral vote of the State shall be divided in
the electoral college according to the num-
Der Ofyotes thrown for your candidate, and
the number Of votes thrown for the other can
didate on the same ticket. The number of
votes which each candidate gets Will be
known with substantial accuracy long before
the official count is made. Therefore you will
have every incentive to vote for your eandI-
date, because the larger number OF votes you
cast the more electoral votes will your candi-
date get and the less will the other have.
And those who are voting for the same cleo
tors with you will throw as many votes as
they can Tor their candidate IN order that he
shall have as large a share OF the electoral
vote of the State as possible, neither In fact
voting for the candidate OF the other Thus
you will show your strength and hold the
balance OF power.

The Increase of Crime.


The Cincinnati Commercial Gaz-
cite affirms, deploringly, the increase
of atrocious crimes in this country,
and makes some very sensible remarks
and draws some very logical conclu-
sions as to the cause of the increase.
The principle cause is declared to be
the failures of the courts to enforce
the laws on our statute books against
the two particularly mentioned crimes
of murder and rape. The incompe-
tency Of the jurors, owing to the re-
strictions of the law in fixing their
competency, the unjustifable practice
Of lawyers in trying in various ways
to muddle the case by irrelevant and
ambiguous testimony, through selfish
motives, the laxity of politically elect
ed Judges in drawing the lines
against the petty Jogging" lawyers,
failing to rule with rigor, and to give
the proper directions to the case and
jury, allows many man to go free
who should be hung. This, and a
great deal more Of the practices Of the
courts have made it almost an impos-
sibility to bring the guilty to justice,
and the wicked, encouraged by the
fact that but few are hung or receive
the merits Of their crimes go on in
their ways of crime almost without
fear.
If there is one reform that is need
ed more than all others in the prac-
tice of our courts, it is in the direction
above indicated. 1t has come to be
almost a universal saying, and about
as true as universal, when a prisoner
is on trial for crime committed against
laws, if he has money or friends, that
''he will get clear" But if without
money or friends, she will be convict
ed. And, it makes but little differ
ence what the crime, the estimate up
on life or character has been brought
down so low, that courts, juries, law
yers and executors of the law fre-
quently, can be biased, twisted and
bribed into almost any kind of work
to defeat the ends of justice, merely
for the sake of a trife of the filthy"
or small degree Of reputation among
the lawless. There is no doubt that
many Of the atracious crimes that are
being committed these days are direct
ly due to these causes.
The Legislature may find some
work that might be made profitable
in this direction, and the people could
find it profitable, if they would, to
look we'll to their choice of court Of
ficers, from the highest to the lowest
courts to which they elect them.

Something to Talk OF.

One day a farmer entered the office
Of Chicago capitalist and asked for
an interview, and when this had been
granted he spread out country map
on the table and said:

millions Of wealth into your pockets" "
"Well?"
"See here. Here, at this point,
Coon Greek and 'Possum River are
only five miles apart"

"a canal cut across this neck con-
meets the two. I've been over the
ground and a canal ten feet deep and
fifty feet wide can be dug for $780,
900, and we can charge such toll As

Just so. Ny friend, Coon Creek
has an average depth of two feet and
'Possum Creek about fifteen inches.

map.

JURYMEN.

1t is very generally felt that juries
no longer promote the ends Of justice.
1t is quite common to find one jury
man who regards himself as associ-
ated with eleven very stubborn men.
And it is not unfrequently the case
that in a published list of twelve,
whoever is acquainted with the men
can point out the one who is quite
sure that he is the only wise man on
the jury. He belongs to the class
designated by Pope when he wrote:
''The fool is happy that he knows no more.'
1t is the fault of township trustees.
There are men in nearly every town.
ship who want their names sent in
for the jury. They are the very men
whose names ought never to be sent
in. They are so illiterate as to be
wholly incompetent, and their pres
ence on the jury brings it into disre-
pute. If township trustees would
make it a rule never to put the name
of any man on the list who requested
it, they would not GO far wrong. Ii
they would resolutely do their duty,
selecting the men of the best charac-
ter and the highest culture to dis
charge this important duty, we should
not so frequently hear complaints Of
our jury system.

Crushing Properties of Wet Snow.

Wet snow ON roofs has been causing
much inconvenience and many acci-
dents Of late The extra weight to be
supported in such contingencies seems
not to be sufficiently calculated upon
by builders. The snow is so light as
it generally falls, taking eight to
twelve cubic inches to equal the weight
of cubic inch of water, that people
do not generally realize how this same
snow, becoming saturated by gentle
rains, and added to by successive snow
falls, may finally pile up an aggregate
weight Old and leaky roofs, and es-
pecially those which are flat, or have
only slight pitch, should be promptly
relieved Of this extra burden on the
occasion of every considerable fall Of
snow, for if not crushed they may,
nevertheless, be DETECTED enough to
crack Or loosen the covering, and thus
develop leaks. Flat roofs especially,
should be promptly relieved of their
weight of snow, and it should also tie
seen to that all cutters should be kept
free from snow and ice. This precau-
ton will keep the leaders open, and
prevent their bursting.-Scient6c

Big Words.

call on some acquaintance observed
that the furniture had been changed
and remarked to the Lady,

''You mean calcamimed, | suppose; it
looks much better, doesn't it?"
Another lady was showing a visitor
around her grounds, which were un-
der the care of a landscape gardener,
and she inquired of her friend how
she liked the work.

And all the world lies still,

Breaks over yOnder hill.
To see the city slumbering in the plain,
Where all is calm repose,
Where some will rise to pleasure once again,
Some rise to many woes:
Where some will rise to happiness and wealth,
Some, poverty and pain;
Some rise to Natures greatest blessing-health:
Some never rise again.

And numbered with the dead.
