made manifest by mans handiwork.
Yes. it is true that the innocent lit
tie ones of the wretchcdly poor are
crying for a morsel of bread-it is
true that most Of the want, the crime
and the woe, might be nnihiIatcd by
proper application Of the boycott;
but then, you see, personal liberty
would suffer, and that, YOU know,
would be more dreadful than the
moan Of the hungry and the cry of
the distressed.
Certainly, it is naughty thing,
this boycott.
"No thief ere felt the halter draw,
With good opinion Of the law
Personal liberty, indeed
No, good friends, it pains us to
inform you, one and all, from the
greasy mechanic down to the profess
sor, that the days of the personal
liberty racket as opposed to the
general veal are numbered.
The boycott must and will 60 on !.
And personal liberty, the shib-
boleth of horse thieves and bawds,
money-changers and deprayed
writer's, must come down; in other
words, she must "roost lower. The
material, the intellectual and,
greater than all. the moral health Of
the great human family demand it.
Let our Pecksnitlian friends, men
toned at the outset, subside grace
fully; otherwise they will Get hurt.
BE warned in time, good gentle
men; do not monkey with the boy
colt. Remember Lots wife; how
sad her fate,
Be admonished, therefore, and
boycott, if need be, personal liberty.
Remember the Morning News the
pitiable spectacle.

The Social-Democrats Of England

TRUE DEM0CRACY
IS THE IMPERATIVE
MANDATE? ?
Guaranteeing to the People Their
Right to Govern Themselves.
The Editor Of the Denver
Labor Enquirer ON
The Subject.

What is the imperative mandate?
1t is simply this: That the repre-
sentative officers or servants of the
people should serve 50 long as they
conformed to their, instructions, and
no longer; that such instructions
should be imperative, and the repre-
sentatives or agents should be re-
called by the votes of those whom
they were chosen to serve il they de-
waited from the path of duty, and
others chosen to fill the vacancies;
that those recalled should be immc-
diately tried and punished with the
utmost rigor if found guilty.
Under the present system a rep
resontativc in national, State and
municipal legislatures may violate
the trusts reposed in him by his con-
stltuency whenever opportunity is
offers, and, unless his conduct be so
glaring and dishonest as to secure
impeachment he remains in Office to
the conclusion of Il stipulated term.
For instance, the senators from Col
orado might oppose the silver inter
ests of this State-they might hon
estly differ in opinion with their
constituency, or they might sell out
to the Wall street gang 1u,y tti'lv
people would be helpless during
term of six years. And besides their
helplessness, the government would
have to pay the traitors $4,000 in
salary.
There is not a community ten
years old in the country which has
escaped suffering through this IDIOT
ic system. 1t is idiotic; so much SO
that no business man would conduct
his affairs upon such plan. If
merchant or manufacturer employs
man to doa certain thing for him
to look out for his interests-and the
employe fails to follow instructions,
or carry out what he knows to be
the will of his employer, he is dis
charged forthwith. If this is a good
rule in individual cases, why is it not
a good rule to apply where the inter-
ests of thousands-aye, millions
are at stake?
If there are any who will bring the
objection that the Socialistic pla N'.
the imperative mandate is 'im ,
ticable," | am prepared to show ''ise t !
they do not know what the 9e'
talking about. W = :

How a Woman Mails a Letter.

Some crusty curmudgeon thus tells how
a woman goes to work 10 mail letter. 1t
is libel on the sex. Some of the girls
will make il red hot for him if discovered:
ANY day when you have time you can
see how she does it by dropping INTO the
postoilice. She arrives there with letter
in her hand. 1t is sheet of note in &
white envelope. She halts in front Of the
stamp window, opens her mouth tt :,
n stamp, but suddenly darts away to see
she has made any error in names or dates.
1t takes five minutes for her to make
Iure Of this, and then she balances the let
er on her finger, and the awful query arises
II her mind: Perhaps il is overweight
She steps 10 the window and asks tine clcrl.
If he haG thrce-cent stamp, fearing thai
he hasn't, and she looks over every COM
partment in her portmonnic before sho
finds the change 10 pay for il.
The fun commences as she gets the stamp.
She sidles around 10 one side, removes her
gloves, closely inspects the stamp, and Ii IS
itatcs whether 10 lick it or wet her finger.
She finally concludes il wouldn't be nice
to show her tongue, and vets her finger
and pas Jes it over the envelope. She is so
long picking up the stamp that the moist
IRE is absorbed and the stamp slide off
the envelope. She tries it twice more with
like success, and getting desperate she give
the stamp lick and it sticks.
Then comes the sealing of the letter.
She vets her finger again, but the envelope
dies open, and after three minutes delay
she has to pass her tongue along the streak
Of dried muclagc.
She holds the letter n long time TO make
sure that the envelope is all right, and
finally appears at the window and asks:
Three cents is enough, is it?' Yes, ma'am.'
This will 20 out to-day? Certainly
Will it 20 to Chicago without the name of
the county on?' Just the same What
time will il reach there" Tomorrow
morning. She signs, turns the letter
over and over, and finally asks: Shall l
dropit into one OF those places there? Yes,
mann
She walks up in front of the six orifces,
closely scans each one of them, finally
makes choice and drops-no she doesn't.
She stops to see where il will fall, pressing
her face against the window until she fat
tens her nose out of shape. AID she doesn't
drop it where she intended to- She, how
ever, releases it at last, looks down to
make sure that it did not fal. on the floor,
and turns away with sigh of regret that
she didn't take one more look at the super

His head fell back on the tender arm which
supported him: he opened his eyes with one
loving look at her; she pressed her lips to his
with one last lingering kiss; and Guy Tired
egar, the gentle, noble, and true, was dead.
BERTHE LeOnhardt and Jean Tredegar live
there, nobly fulfilling Guys trust. Each
lovely face is very still and pale; but calm
and happy are the two fair women in their
lonely home. Perhaps
"They who descry the Lord on the beach
Launch out to the deep no more"
1t seems to me sometimes, looking at Ber-
tie as she sits in the ld-fashoned carved pew
in Tredegar church, the light from stained
window above falling on the face so still, SO
white, that she looks like "a santed lady of
olden time" who Is strong and proud to en-
dure--as If the "silver light stealing along
the sand" had fingered on her face.
A year later Mrs. Leonhardt and Lord Old
ham were married; and they often visit
Tredcgar Hall, She is as beautiful as ever,
and radianty happy in her husbands love.
Two beautiful children, a noble-looking Guy
ard pretty blonde BERTHE, accompany them
now.
Mr.. Paliser and cannot agree on the sub
ject of the White Lady of Tredegar. He
says that no such person ever existed, and
that the early deaths of the Tredegars were
a series of mere condolences, nothing more,
and that Guys vision and the bird in Miss
Leonhardt's bedroom were creatures OF an
excited nervous Imagination. From what l
know OF Guy Tredegar, he was the last man
in the world To be nervous or imaginative;
and Lady Oldham SPEAKS of "Our quiet Ber-
tie" But what say is of little moment; and
others will admit that there are more things
in heaven and earth than are dreamt of III
