81. Louis GLobe-DtrocT1k
Senator and ex.Speaker Carlisle, the
ablest Democraticf leader il, Congress,
dumbfounded several leaders OF the
newly organized Peoples party, who
recently called upon him to consult re-
garding their political movement. Mr..
Carlisle asked his visitors how they
proposed to secure governmental own
ership and control Of railroads and tele-
graph lines-whether by contlscation or
purchase" He then asked if the Peo-
pies party had any idea as to what the
purchase Of the railroads OF tho United
States would cost,
"0ur government debt at the close OF
the war" said he, twas more than two
thousand millions, and we have been
almost thirty years in paying half Of it.
The railroads, telegraphs, telephone
lines and steamboats, in the country
represent about $4,000, 100000 invested
capital; S4,000,0O0,00O is bonded in
dcbtedness which must be paid. Are
you ready to tax. yoursel Ives to raise
this money! Then, after You have got
the property, are you ready to tax your
selves to operate it--for the government
never yet succeeded in doing business
at a profit? Consider another effect:
such plan would add perhaps 100000
men and women to the roll OF govern
ment employees. How would You ever
succeed in turning out of power an adj
ministration with such resources at its
command? Tho more corrupt it was
the more difficult it .wopld be 70 dtsplace

-Four woodsmen from Ottawa, Ont,
had a desperate fight with a pack
of wolves while returning from work To
their camp on the Kippewa river. Two
brothers named Barrett stopped on the
road to examine a trap. and their two
companions went ahead. The latter
had not proceeded far when they heard
loud shouting mingled with the bark
ing of wolves.
They hurried back and discovered
the Barretts. with their backs to a tree,
desperately defending themselves with
their axes against a pack Of ,avenous
wolves.
The men looked about them, and
we're appalled, to see that the pack was
being REINFORCED by a number OF
equally desperate animals.
After fully ten minutes Of fighting
for their lives the men fortunately
killed seven Of the wolves, which had
an effect upon their companions, for
they turned and fed. All the men
were bleeding from the legs and sides,
where they had been bitten.-EX

Franklin rendered printers a service
in showing them the effectiveness of
humor in enhancing the value of news
papers, and in promoting good causes.
In those times there were no journal
lists except printers, and commonly the
same hand wrote and set in type the
paragraphs of news. From first 10 last
he knew the value of a little fun in the
newspaper, and how helpful il may be
made in exposing false ]pretensions and
in recommending virtuous habits. His
first boyish essays, timidly thrust under
the door of the printing Office, and the
last piece he ever wrote, done a few
days before his death, were humorous.
At the same time, he never abused
the power Of the press by harsh criti-
cism or insinuations of bad motives. II
would be difficult, if not impossible, e
find in the thirty years file of his Penn
~sylvania Gazette an article intended TO
wound the feelings of an individual
