A Great Railroad.

By the absorption Of the Chicago &
Atlantic Railway between Marion and
Chicago, the Erie has at last effected lte
entrance into Chicago, and now occupies
the proud position Of being the only line
between Chicago and New York en-
tirely under one management.
One result of this is the arrangement
whereby all the through trains Of the
Erie are now run solid between Chicago
and New York without change. Pas
Sengers holding thro Ugh tickets, whether
first or second class, are able to go from
Chicago to New York without changing
cars.
Pullmsn's most modern sleeping cars
are run on all through trains via this
line, and on their vestlbule limited, Pull
mans dining cars. No extra fare charged
on this train. In fact, the rates via the
Erie, are lower than via any other route
offering equal facilities.

Ingersoll on California,

In recent magazine article, Mr.. Err
nest Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt. It's
equsbility is constant, and its dryness is
proverbial. The only complaint made 10,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and then
that rousing storm would give them a
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from q Superhuity Of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance Of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath of life.
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast Is via Santa Fe Route.

expressions am crItlclslng.
/ shall essay, as briefly as possible, to
indicate my reason for believing that a
monetary system that would issue money
direct to the people, at the cost of issue,
would bring about natlonallstic results
under an indivldusllstlc regime. II may
be well to remark at the outset that the
great majority of the rank and file of the
Peoples party advocate national owner
ship and operation Of all lines of trans
portatlon and communication aud the
munlcipalization Of all natural monopo-
lies" in the cities and towns.
Briefly epitomized, natlonalism pro-
poses that all men shall work, to the best
Of their ability, and be rewarded accord
ing to their needs. Nationalism proposes
that all men must work In order to eat,
and that all who thus work shall receive
the results Of their labor less the labor
cost of distribution. What factors, under
the present system, enable men to live
In idleneSS and yet absorb goodly por-
tion Of the wealth produced by those
who do work? The answer is rent, in
terest and profit. leaving "natural mo-
nopolieS" out of the question, they not
being governed by competitlon.)
Now, without entering into lengthy
dissertation TO prove why such assertions
are true, shall simply formulate the
following propositions as being basic,
lmmutable and true.
First-All investments are counted
good, bad or Indifferent, as they return
profits less, equal to, or more than the
legal current rate of interest obtalnable
for money.
Second-The competition Of landlords,
one with another, has tendency to con-
stantly provide an available supply Of
buildings at rental equal to, or below
the level Of the prevalent current rate Of
interest en- money.
Third Competition among merchants
and manufacturers tends in the direction
of the limitation of profits to a per cent
equal to or less than the common rate Of
interest upon money.
Fourth-The rate of interest upon
money ls taken out Of the domain of
competition by the operations Of cum
ningly devised monetary system which
places In the hands Of few corporations
the absolute control of the volume of
money and makes them the sole avenue
Of Issue and the sole arbiters Of the rate
OF interest to be paid for the use Of such
money.
Flfth-The Peoples party proposes to
take away from these corporations and
banking institutions these powers and
restore them to the people whose pre-
rogatlve they solely are. The people
win then, as q community, issue direct
to themselves 40 individuals, money at
cost Of issue. Such cost of issue will at
once become the legal current and pre-
vaillng rate Of tax or interest for money,
Now, If under the present system, with
interest at Z per cent, rent, interest and
profit, absorb 81 per cent ofthe products
Of labor-under the new system the sb-
sorption by such factors will not exceed
s per cent, which Is perhaps as low a
per cent as would be absorbed by the de-
tails Of distribution under even nation

Chained TO the Rock,

Prometheus was chained to the rock while vul-
lures gnawed his entralls. So are many people
chained the rock of prejudice while all manner
ofvioent medicines 1nflict injury upon the sensi-
tive lining of the stomach and intestines. They
apparently immovable in the belief that to ex-
perience benefit they must keep dosing with
drastic medicines. Unless the action of these is
powerful and excessive, they are not satisfied.
They would distrust a remedy of gentle action,
however effective. 1t is not by such purblind ex-
tremists as these that the acknowledged merits of
Hostetters Stomach BItters are recognized. That
regulator of the stomach, the bowels and the kid

is awarded just valuation. Constipation, liver

Its action. So also do malaria and rheumatism

HOW children shake Hands.

Speaking of signs of gentle breeding
makes me think how well it is to teach q
child TO shake hands. Some children
when addressed by their parents friends
look up frankly and give an honest little
paw to be clasped in the bigger hand as
though it was pleasure TO be recognized,
while others shyly hang their heads and
stretch out limp apology for n hand in
return. Which form of greeting is the
more attractive need not be pointed out.
know bright little chap, an only child,
whom it is pleasure to meet, because he
always shakes hands as though he really
meant it, and he felt you were as much his
friend as tough eight years old like him
self But his name is Paul, and who ever
heard of Paul who was no. frank and
what the world calls "a little gentleman?"

Quick Decision.

1t is good 70 cultivate habit of swift de-
cision about trifies. Into the life of each
one of us multitude of small affairs come
daily to be settled, and too long considera.
ton of any one of them is not only waste
OF time, but encourages a vacillation in
compatible with true strength of charac-
ter. An irresolute man-one who does not
know his own minds unpleasant TO con-
template, uncomfortable TO live with, and
his infirmity OF purpose apparently makes
him most unhappy individual to himself
We can give our children no better prep
aration for the serious duties of life than a
practice of quick determination in little
things. Even should the child decide
wrongly at first, forcing him TO abide by
his choice will do much toward making
him wiser on the next occasion.-House-

what an American Girl Needs.

What the American girl needs most is
good health. If she has that she is blessed
far beyond those who have accomplish
ments by the score. She should, above all
Things eiec, be allowed to grow up with her
womanly instincts unimpaired, for upon
them, rather than upon her training, will
her happiness and success in life depend
Let her nurse dolls, make clothes for them,
build play houses, make mud pies and
romp with the boys. AS she grows up en-
courage her to make clothes for herself as
well as for her dolls, and to bake pies OF
dough instead of mud. If she shows taste
for needlework don't discourage her, be-
cause her knowledge will not detract from
her social qualities. If of domestic turn
encourage her in it by allowing her TO have
charge of certain branches OF homework
If music is her taste afford her every OPP
portunity for becoming profcient-Pitts-

In London there is a man who follows
the business OF tattooing. The majority of
his patients are men who have designs of a
naval character pricked into their skin,
but there are also a great many women
who employ his art, if it may be termed
such. With women the decoration is usu-
ally bee, butterfly, a spray of flowers
or monogram. These ornaments are
worn inside the wrist, so that they may be
hidden by the glove, if ecessary.-London

demands which could be made upon
them to the extent of $76.l9 per

would have only 1920, or would
be short currency to the extent of
500. so for each claim of $76.l9. 1t
may be thought that this leads to a
gloomy view of the money situa-
ton; nevertheless, it is an unem-
bellished presentation of facts. To
add to the difficulty, the pushing
enterprise Of our people constantly
increases the sums of money neces-
sary to give it free scope, and we.
can arrive at but one conclusion
that if we wish to relieve our pres
ent stringency in money matters
and stem the current on which we
are drifting toward greater panlcs
and suffering than we have ever
had, we must have some system
which will at once give us a larger
circulation in proportion to the de-
mands and increase of the popula-
ton. "-Progressive Farmer.

who Pays the Tax

In commenting on the enormous
Mckinley duty recently paid by
Marshall, Field & Co., importers,
on a consignment of pearl buttons,
the St. Louis Commercial says:
Last week Chicago firm receiv-
ed 81 400 worth Of pearl buttons
from Austria, and it was the first
importation of pearl buttons since
the Mckinley bill went into effect.
The duty on these buttons was just
$4,000, or trifle over 200 per cent.
On the cheaper grades of pearl but
tons the duty is about 600 per cent.
Now if consumers of these goods
do not pay this 200 or 600 per cent.
increase in cost to the importer,
will Major Mckinley tell us who
does?
Mr.. Mckinley, will take good
care to do nothing of the kind. lie
may make a few vague remarks
from which you might inter that the
importers could go over to Austria
and get the tax out of the foreign
ers they bought the buttons from,
instead of adding it the prices at
which they sell to their customers.

who would or does ignore its claims
is neither sound in politics or NOR
ais. There are churchianity Repub-
licans and Democrats that have a
a kind of maxim they call
"choose to do the least of two i'm
moralities. On this maxim the
churchianity Republican has been
voting 'er straight, and the church
ianity Democrat has been voting 'er
straight. This you see is the kind
of choosing and voting that has
been keeping the two old parties OF
immoralities in existence. Reader,
did you see any of those churchiani-
ty immortality choosers on last
Tuesday at the polls in Kansas? If
you did, you saw some of them
voting 'er straight for two immoral
ities-boodle and whisky-instead
of choosing the "least of two i'm
moralities. It's not necessary for
us to give a reason for this sudden
change of choosing, for it is plain
on it's face that it is done for the
purpose Of defeating the moral de-
mands of an outraged people.

Our friends, the enemy, claim a
great victory; and, so far as cap
turing the offices in many counties
IN the state is concerned, they have
gained a victory; but they forget
that there was a Democratic ticket
last year; also rc-submission Re-
publican ticket. They seem to
forget that the whole opposition had
pooled their issues against the Peo-
PIES party this year. This consol-
idation was a good one for our
Republican brethren. But, the
Peoples party of Kansas, despite
it's loss of the offices, has cause to
rejoice greatly, for we cast over
$4,000 more votes this year than
last year. We are not cast down,
nor discouraged, but are brighten
ing up our arms and preparing for
another skirmish. Old soldier,
when you was vanquished in bat
tie, did you lay down your arms

you didn't. You didn't even stop
to rest. You just got ready for
another fight. That is just what
the Peoples party is going to do

Senator COlamer's Financial
Views.

1t is refreshing to find, once in a
while, those "high in authority"
who are brave enough and patriotic
enough to stand up for the people
and fearlessly denounce those meas
ures which their judgment and
experience tell them will be ruinous
to our country. Senator Colamer,
of Vermont, in discussing the
banking act, said:
To induce the people to take
$500, O00,0 of bonds on interest
to set up these banks, put out their
circulation as a national currency"
and we guarantee its payment!
Wherein is that any better than the
greenback? | will ask the gentle
men to put that question to them
selves. Is it any better? What is
it founded on? United States
bonds! Whom do the bill-holders
look to for their final redemption ?
The United States treasury We
saw we will redeem them. The
system has no other foundation.
All these fictitious contrivances
about the responsibility Of individu-
al stockholders amounts to just
nothing. AS to the proposition to
retain 25 per cent. out of their CIR
culation, they can put that in their
pockets whenever they please, and
there is nobody to question them.
1t is simply and singly founded
upon public responsibility, and Mr..
Sherman thinks that is its great
feature of excellence. Instead of
circulating that amount of our own
currency, upon our own response
bility and paying nothing, we are
to hire these banks to circulate that
amount of our currency and pay
them $12, 100000 year for doing
it. Yankee as am, | am unable to
perceive how it is possible that it
can be made a good trade for us, or
or how any shrewd man would think
of entering into an agreement OF
that kind.
John Thompson, vice-president OF
Chase National Bank, New York,
thus describes our condition,
