OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES CAUSE

One of the primary principles Q
our order is set forth in Onr frs
declaration of purpose:-"To labo

nomical government, in a strict,
non partisan spirit"
In government snch "a ours, i
is of the greatest importance tha
every person should under stand th,
principles of "econonic govern
ment."
To understand these principle,
We must he taught, and while
would not presume to teach. I would

formed to teach the people.
The laboring people have for q
long time been too coIfiding, &C
ceptiog the teachings Of men whose
interests were not identical with
their own. Suffering such men to
ingratiate themselves into their
favor, gaining their confidence, and
leading at their own pleasure, in
any direction they might chose.
Aud while we, as tile Iaboring peo.
pie, have been thus conftling, lead
ut the pleasure of designing politi.
CLANS, forgetting that "Eternal vigi
lahce is the price of liberty" Ger.
tain principles have been taught
and certain measures instituted aud
fostered which must, if not counter

:. They have manipulated the reins ot
: government, and have been protec-
ted in their successful efforts to get
the hard earnings of. and impover'
lsh the people, until they have
grown SO strong and have become
such power in the land that their
pleasure becomes the law of the
land, and their wealth "the power
behind the throne"
We have in our stupic;ty elected
congress cf milllonaires THAT is their
wealth would more than average a
million to the member) the richest
body of men in the known world |!
These men of course look after their
own interest. and it is not to eheir
interest that every man should get
the full value of his labor; for
if he did their own Golfers would not
fill so fast. The tendency of the
legislation of such men is to make
and encourage such laws as will
concentrate the wealth of the ma.
ton in the hands Of a few to the in.
jury of the many. The people in
this part of the country, financially.
are poverty stricken {; all they have
made for several years except a liv-
ing has concentrated in the hands
of a few. If the people had always
obtained the just fruits of their Ia.
Dor, they would bs much better off,
and there would be fewer million
aires.
We have arrived at that period
in our nations history that We must
take steps AZ soon as possible to put
u stop to this concentration of
wealth in the hands of a few, or else
this country will soon be under the
control of a monied aristocracy, the
people be reduced to absolute pow
erty aud liberty be q thing of the
past.
Daniel Webster said: "Liberty
long endure in any country
where tho tendency of legislation is
to concentrate wealth in the hands
Of few" Do you believe him 1 j
do. our own sad experience for the
past few years too plainly proves
what he said to be true.
l: has been the history of nations q
hat have lived, died and passed |

Though we proudly boast that We
have demonstrated to the world
that the people are capable of self

vigiIant than we have been ln the
past our boasting may yet prove a
delusion; our government fall to
ruins, aud in it's stead and on its
ruins a monarchy, with it's tyranny
aud detestable laws, be erected.
Unless--tbe people think more,
and act for themselves. and devise
and carry ont plans by which they
can realize the frnits of their labor,
and check this rapid concentration
of wealth in the hands of the few,
those few will become more and
more oppressive until the people
can submit to it no longer.
The people upon whose shoulders
rest the burdens of the government
must be educated. But they can
never be educated by the subsid lied

and influence are sold to those who

For they well know that if the peo.

put stop to this legalized, whole.

Ben Bruce, 10 the last issue OF the Live
Stock Record, has lengthy editorial on
the subject Of jockeys fees. He says that
with salaries running from 200 to Sl5..
900 year, the jockeys are becoming The
dictstors and sutocrsts OF the turf. H.
chsracterizes most Of the jockeys a. mere
boys, ignorant and uneducsted, who are
DOT able to earn 5000 per annum ia any
other business, and says that these exor-
bitant salaries make racing luxury ths,
only private few can indulge in.
He adds; A turfman OF moderate means
cannot engage these high priced jockeys.
and il makes il almost impossible fer him
to secure rider who has pretensions TO
jockeyship. Ifhe gets one to ride they
want about bali the stake or purse for the
mount. TIL, cause prevents many from
going on tie turf and therefore cuts of
buyers and Injuries breeders at their annual
sales.
A retaining fee Of $3.50 TO $500 for the
.ifst call upon jockey and then paying
him the usual fec as provided by tbe rules
for bis mount would be smple aud high
Tor the best jockey 10 the country. Those
retained jockeys would then make more
clear money year than our sbIest lawyers
aud most scientific physicians can earn.
II these high fees are to continue 1t must
iniure. II not break up racing aud drive

A Marvellous Egg.

The Chinese certainly excel in the patti.
ence with which they construct delicate
pieces Of mechanism, no more marvellous
example Of which can we'll be imagined
than the egg Of which the following do
scription Is given.
1t is but little larger than turkey 4
egg. and, to outward appearance, nothing
but such All egg as might be picked up in
any farm yard. But inside the shell there
is such delicate mechanism that an ac-
curate description OF it is well nigh i'm
possible, aud to get fair idea to which
human skill may reach it is necessary to
see this marvel.
The egg shell is ivided into two parts
but 30 closely and skilliully are they join
ed that the naked eye fails to discover the
line Of junction. The tiny works by which
its different parts are operated are . lot Of
microscopic springs and diminutive wheels
50 small that the largest Of the lot hardly
rivals 10 size those small spsngles which
are used in gold lace embroidery.
The arrangement is such that once in
each hour the two shells. which are hinged
at the base, fly apart with spring, dis
PLAYING to view gorgeous tulip, so artis
ticslly and truthfully colored that one can
hardly believe that it has not been plucked
from flower bed instead OF being q pro
duction OF art. The petals Of the tulip
slowly unfold, opening one after the other,
until the flower is full blown.
Within it stands wee church, with bel.
fry. on the outside Of which is small dial
plate, where the iiniest hands point thu
hour. The latter are 30 small that. Pile.
ed next to them, the hoest needle seem
monstrous. The hour strikes with fairy
like tinklius, the church slowly revolyts
on its axis. when the rear comes TO view,
exposing the works to sight Then the
petals Of the tulip fold together again, the
shells rejoin aud for another hour the
whole seems TO the ulinitiated beholder
nothing but common egg.
