WHITTIER are we drifting? AS if the
acceptance of a free special train from
the railroad magnates was not suffi-
cient insult to the great mass of the
people, who believe that the president
is entitled to the privileges of plain
every day American citizen, no more,
no less, the front car of the special
train on which Mr. Harrison is making
his political tour is emblazoned with big
gold letters: The Presidential Train"
Photographs of this royalty equipped
train should be distributed from one end
of the country to the other, particularly
among the people who have to work for
a living and to buy sacond class railroad
tickets, or walk, when they wish to go
anywhere. The train upon which her
majesty, Queen Victoria, took her re-
cent jaunt was not to be compared, for
magnificence, to that upon which Mr.
Harrison is now travelling. Is it any
wonder that the people clanor for a re-
turn to democratic simplicity and every
man pay -his-own-way methods.

it is the unfortunate who is condemned to

we'll illustrated in st Louis not long ago.
Returning from supper the druggist
found bottle of strychnine on the

clerk in attendance was Mortified to fine
that he used strychnine instead of some
harmless drug mentioned in the prescrip-
