Delegate Toole says: ''Silver and gold
are twin sisters" Very true, but UNI
fortunately Miss Gold has the double
attraction Of pretty face and dowry
worth its face value the world over,
while poor Miss Silver is n faded blonde
Of doubtful reputation, with fortune
only worth eighty cents on the dollar.
She may gain suitors in the west where
mankind are easily satisfied but old
world admirers are conspicuOusly alb
sent.-Bozeman Courier. Wrong, Sir
Miss Gold is the petted child Of luxury
and avarice, whose abode is in marbled
halls. Her beautiful face is unseen by
the poor. Though a twin-sister, she
is yielding to the intrigues Of lustful
Shylocks, who would profit at her ex-
pense. Flattery and seclusion means
death. Her power will gradually grow
less; soon "silver threads" will be seen
"amopg the gold" and she will long for
the association of her noble sister.
Different, Miss Silver; she is not stuck
up for idol worship; she is everbody's
friend; she is in everybody's heart and
in most peoples pockets; her white
face is an emblem Of purity; she can
be found in the abode Of poverty and
in the home Of the humblest peasant;
Monarchs cannot arouse her envy or
rob her of her virtue; she exists to
serve the people, not pOtentates; she
cannot be ostracised on account Of her
immense proportions; she is fat and
jolly, always round, and has millions
of admirers who would fight for her at
the drop Of hat.

The ordinary observer cannot realize
how widespread this knights of Labor
movement is until he is told that six
weeks ago there were being organized
in the United States iifty-two new
unions every day. Admitting that the
average membership If these unions
Is but ten, it will be seen that $50 men
became Knights every day, and that at
that rate the enrolment at the end OF
IA year would be nearly 10000 mem
bers. The average il greater than that,
and consequently the membership.
The Knights will not admit saloon
Keepers, gamblers nor bankers to their
order, holding that these three callings
are inimical to the safety Of any order
