an expression equally emphatic.
One year ago Miss Juch and her com

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat says
that the democrats of the house of rep
resentatives have had no leader since
Randall's death and Carlisle's election
to the senate. This loss, our contempt
rary thinks, will have a most serious and
damaging effect on the party. The loss
of these great men will, OF course, be APP
parent, but there is no lack of leaders
in the house to look after party inter
ests. William M. Springer will be there
along with William d. Holman ant
Roger @. Mills. Either is the peer Of
any republican representative, not ex
cepting Reed and Mckinley. Beside.
these there are William ID. Bynum, O

gagement was unsatisfactory, because
the performances were FAR below the
standard Of last year. Then Mr.. Locke,
a stranger in the oity. was forced to sx-
ercise his wits, The result was that
twenty citizens OF Helena gave him
$1,000 to get out OF town and thus keep
his company from the shoals. At Butte
the same liberality was shown. II Is
just possible that both cities will be
able to get through next winter without
enjoying the liquid notes OF Miss Juch's
gifted throat. In the event Of her ap-
appearance MI. Locke will, like other
managers, be expected to pay his own
expenses. In the meantime our citi-
zens will not forget the gratitude OF
Miss Juch.

The condition of farmers in Western
Kansas suggests the truth of Colonel
Sanders remark that farm mortgages in
that section are a blessing to the pee
pie because they will driTe them out
from that hopelessly arid region and
prevent others from taking their places.
The Farmers Alliance Aid committee
find that farmers are almost destitute.
They have no grain Of any kind for seed
ing purposes and are without provisions.
Car loads of necessities have been sent
to carry the people through until spring.

awaken to the fact that the great farm
ing country lies west Of the one hundred

THE C~N

The poor we have with us always. 1t
is true that in our enterprising north
west, with it's wealth Of public domain
and its preponderance OF demand over
supply, the grinding hand of want is
happily conspicuous by its absence.
Here no man, who is willing to work,
need starve, but in the congested coun-
tries of the old world and the densely
populated districts of some Of our east
ern states the great problem Of the un-
employed is both terrible and perplexinv.
1t is not that men have outgrown their
capacity for work; of such II common
humanity still takes care. And it is not
that some men are unwilling to work;
for them we need have no conjunction;
those who will not labor should not eat.
But a mere surface inquiry brings us to
the conclusion that there are great bod
les of men and women who are seeking
and cannot find employment. Some OF
them have ceased through age or weak
ness to produce the necessary margin of
profit that alone can justify their en-
ployment from a business point of view;
a few OF them have W reached that
stage ~ofusefulness. Many OF them at
tempt self employment on a limited
scale and generally collapse beneath
the competition of the gigantic con-
Germs that are the most prominent feat
ure of the modern labor world. Others
take to the land for a living and dis
cover that, as in the manufacturing in
dustries, large a~ccumulations OF capital
tend more and more to drive the single
worker from the field.
What is to be done with this constant
ly growing crowd of un%fortunates!
Charitable relief, soup tickets, and SO
forth simply demoralize honest labor.
il we provide them with employment,
we are initiating fresh competition and
rendering the lot of the employed still
harder. If one-half or one-third OF the
population can produce all that the
whole can buy or even need, what is to
be done for the remaining fraction? A
writer in the New England Magazine,
after careful consideration of the prob
lem, gives his strong support to the CO
operative colonies that are the stars of
hope Of Gen. Booths scheme. Wherever
the necessity existed he would map off
reserves for the unemployed and plant
colonies upon them, SO that every one
who was willing to do so might earn his
bread. There would be no thought of
competition with the outside world; the
colony's production would be strictly
limited to the. needs of the ~colonists
themselves. Under careful manage
ment they would render themselves self
supporting, and each colony would be a
little world in itself. In the practical
details of such a scheme it is certain
there would be many difficulties to N
tend with, but the experience of Ger
many and Holland in similar ventures
proves that they are far from being en-
tirely Utopian.

SHOWN JnaJ Jnere are millions OF Social
list workingmen in Germany, and that
they are able to hold majority Of the
votes in good many places. The con-
scription puts these socialists into the
military ranks, which are steaming
with socialism, as the young kaiser
knows and as Bismarck could tell.
When the workingmen of Germany get
ready for the uprising that is pretty
sure to be heard Of before the end of
this century, their brothers in the army
will not be anxious to put them down.
Gas for the French army, the social
list spirit is strong in it, as it is strong
among the proletariat of France. There
is socialist propaganda in the italian
army, and the names of Garibaldi and
,Mazzini are powerful there.
ssIt is hard to speak Of socialist prop
uganda in the army of Russia, yet we
hear often Of nihilists among the off.
GERS or in the ranks, and of nihilist
plots in which the cars soldiers are
engaged.

IN THE WRONG EOTEL.

Awkward Predicament of an American
Lady Through a Porter'n Blunder.
Most OF us have at one time or an
other experienced the inconvenience OF
not being acquainted with the language
of the country wherein one is travel
ing. One can, therefore, says She Lon"
don Standard, sympathize with the
Washington lady whose mis;tdventure
while staying at Aix-les-Bains for the
benefit of her health has found it's way
into print. The lady in question took
the baths like most Of the other visit
ors at the health resort. The bath over,
the patient, as is known, is rapidly
dried, well enveloped in sheets and
blankets and conveyed back to tho
hotel in a species of sedan chair. On
reaching it he Or she is laid into bed,
wound up in the blankets like q
mummy and, after being covered up
with yet additional blankets and u
quilt, is left to perspire for a certain
period, longer or shorter, according TO
taste.
The American lady, an unmarried
woman, was but imperfectly acquainted
with the pronunciation Of the French
language, and when, lately, after her
bath, she told the attendant to take her
to ssNo. II at the hotel DIES Princess" he
understood her to say the hotel de
France. There she was conveyed,
placed in bed in room eleven and left to
perspire. After awhile she removed
slightly the covering from her head to
perceive, with the utmost distress, that
she was in a strange bed, with no other
dress save her blanket and that all
around the room were articles Of
clothing, etc, proving the occupant
thereof to belong to the opposite sex.
The poor lady's state of mind may
easily be imagined.

Fer Ruzzinp Saved Her.

A tramp made a big mistake the 9TH
er day at Wicasset, says Maine ex-
change. He entered a schoolaouse
there where u little miss OF the
genuine Yankee stamp presided. There
was moment of alarm, for the school
house was upon a bleak hillside far
from neighbors. The tramp approached
the teachers desk, evidently liking the
looks of her watch. The spunlky little
schoolma' am came at him like a hornet
and buzzed around him with her whip,
dealing MISUNDERSTANDING strokes with
the weapon. The tramp made a few
vain efforts to advance or to catch his
nimble antagonist; then, blinded and
maddened by the flying whip, he turned
and streaked it out Of doors and down
the hill He stood afar off and shouted
ugly epithets at his vanquisher, but
kept away from the whip.

Eminent Women Who Smoke.

If women smoke much nowadays,
says the Tribune de Geneve, they can
at least plead that the example is set in
high circles. The empress of Austria
smokes thirty to forty Turkish cigar
cites every day. On her writing table
there is silver box with fine relief
work filed with cigarettes and a gold
ash tray. The czarina also yields to the
passion for nicotine, but she only
smokes in her boulder, copy Of one Of
the prettiest rooms in the Alhambra,
filed with palm trees. Her anxieties
may plead her excuse, but Queen Mar
guerite, Of Italy, whose life is freer
from care, smokes also, and smokes
much, but always in solitude. The
queen regent OF Spain consumes Egypt
ian cigarettes in large quantities. Queen
Nathalie, Of Servia, has wonderful
store Of cigarettes Of every kind, the
queen Of Roumania carries little

road officials are willing to wager that
they have found it at Lily pond, on the
new Dexter & Dover branch. The
track began to settle at this place about
two months ago, and since then trains
have been run around the spot on a
temporary track, while efforts have
been made to obtain solid roadbed by
dumping gravel into the swamp. The
more gravel used the more appears to
be needed, and now, after fifteen hun
dred carloads have been dumped in the
hole, there is still room for as much
more. It is said that the waters Of the
swamp are inhabited by strange lizard

THE SHIPS DOCTOR.

He Rarely Feels the Absolute Authority
of the Captain.
There is one person on board a United
States steamship who never, Or, at all
events, rarely, feels the absolute
authority Of the captain or commander,
said naval officer to ST. Louis Globe
Democrat reporter. That person is the
ships doctor. He is exempt from the
harassing duties that the other mem
bers of his mess must perform, and he
never knows what it is to bear the brl1ns
of a surly commanders displeas,ue in a
petty affair. Everything seems to be
established on shipboard to fence the
captain with that dignity which doth
hedge king He eats alone in solemn
state in his cabin, and has his apart
ments entirely separate from those OF
the other officers. After awhile, unless
he is naturally a good fellow, he must re-
ceive some impressions of the power that
he may WELD, and Of the isolated dignity
of his position. He can't be affable or
cordial, and he grows to not want to be.
Such man was Commander McCalla,
who got into that scrape recently, and
was convicted of offenses by the court
martial. McCalla was naturally agood
fellow. I knew him when he was a
lieutenant, and he was a very different
man from the commander that behaved
so brutaly to his men. The COM
mander may blaekguard the executive
officer, may snub his subordinates and
treat everybody harshly, but he
must leave the ships doctor alone. He
is exempt from annoyance and abuse,
and his life is about the pleasantest on
board

seat opposite. When an elderly woman
sat down in it he did not stir, though
the dusty sole left mark on the black

himself against her knee. A man on

Still the sweet youth sat unmoved.
She made her request again, but in
vain. Then she got up with an amused
smile, walked out upon the platform,
and touching his arm said to the guard:
.''There is a poor lumber-jack in here
who has got his feet out Of place and
can't get them back. Won't you please
come in and fix them for him?"
The guard came, but before he had
covered half the distance the whole car
was a-roar and the ''lumber-jack" had
contracted into even less than his
proper dimensions. There he sat,
lredder than lobster, trying not to
hear the derisive chorus about him.
