Reform Press Association

The Reform Press Association was
an element of great power at the
Conference; 100 papers were repre-

stern, strong men. The association
is organized on a firm basis. 1t ap-
pointed committees for consolidated
work. One committee, consisting OF
twenty-five members, on the 10Th
inst, met at the headquarters OF the
GREAT WEST, and organized into
subcommittee.

Daily Rubbish


We have been told by the Demo.
cratic press that money is scarce,
that free silver must be adopted as a
policy to secure more money for the
country's needs; but the government
finds money SO plentiful that it can
get over fifty millions at less than 2
per cent, and that, too, at a time
when the same authority insists that
the government is bankrupt.
The above and any quantity OF
such rubbish may be clipped from
the editorials of the daily press every
day. There is no money passing in
the transaction of funding the Al per
cent bonds. The funding in fact
was an order from the bankers to
the Secretary which he willingly
obeyed. All the latter does is to
have 2 per cent interest stamped on
the bonds redeemable at the op
ton of the government, then re-.
turned by express to the owners at
their expense. Ii place of borrow
ing fifty.three millions, the govern.
ment is in fact stretching its author
ity and the law of Congress to
accommodate the national banks, as
the bankers told the Secretary at the
conference held in the sub treasury
at New York few weeks ago This
|pretense of anathemiziDg the "Dem-
ocfatic press" is merely a sham to
shut up the party eye of the innocent
people. Both parties are in full
accord on the money question and
both are the willing tools of shylock
If the government can get "over
fifty millions at less than 2 per cent?
why pay 2 per cent? This is telling
more lies than is necessary. The
government don't want the money
and isn't borrowing any money at 2
per cent, but the banks are the actual
borrowers of the bonds at per cent
to bank on. They will get 80 per
cent of the bonds back to loan to the
people and 2 per cent interest on the
whole amount. That's the milk in
the cocoanut.

The New York Tribune publishes

The New York Tribune publishes
bogus article from which the fol-
lowing are sample bricks:
"Dispatches to Democratic jour
nails state that Senator PETER, Rep
resentative Jerry Simpson and Mrs,
Lease, the woman who beat Ingalls,
will go to Georgia in few days to
appeal to the Alliances in that State
Their declared object is to save the
Alliance in Kansas and other West
ern States from speedy and complete
disintegration.'
The only grain of truth about this
is that they are speaking in Missis.
sippi to mass meetings, spreading
Alliance doctrine and helping to
defeat the return of Senator George
to the U. S. Senate and in his place
to send an Alliance Senator. Sen.
ator George and his colleague (the
latter has been scared out of the
race) are both monopoly democrats
of the Cleveland stripe. "To save
the Alliance in Kansas in place of
being their declared object is total
fabrication. The Alliance in Kansas
is in no danger of being hurt by
either party.
"The failure of, scores of sub alli-
ances to hold meetings, and the re.
fusal on the part of hundreds OF
members to pay in their regular dues
and assessments, is attributed direct.
ly to the refusal of the Southern
Alliance men to comply with their
pledges of last year and renounce
their utilization VITA the Democratic
party, and indorse the action of the
Cincinnati Convention"
This is another sample paragraph
with not single word of truth in it.
There was no such agreement con-
templated, much less entered into,
but on the contrary the National
Alliance at Ocala opposed the for
nation of third party at so early
period as the Cincinnati party was
formed. In place of Western ALI.
ances disbanding hundreds of new
sub alliances are reported to the
National Secretary every week. The
whole article is full of such baseless
stuff, with scarcely shred of truth
and the little it contains is distorted
and misapplied for the purpose of
deception. The monopoly press of
which the Tribune is most con-
spicuous example, is now going
through an ordeal of lying against
the Alliance, but the public are be
ginning to estimate the daily press
at its true worth. 1t was fine piece
of management on the part of the
gold ring and its family of CORPORA
tions to get possession of the daily
press. They own nearly every paper
OF this Class in the country.

jealousy.

The Oxford Press never can kick
straight back like mule but always
out sijewise like COW. The Press has
this to say in its last issue.
"The Rising Sun journal says the
family who recently vacated the rail-
road station in that town on account of
having the scarlet fever. contracted it
in Oxford"
We didn't. We said that Mrs. Lewis
and her daughter contracted the disease
either in Oxford or town further up
the railroad. These towns they visited
exactly nine days before the fever made
its appearance on them. And the Press
tries to deny that scarlet fever is in that
town, but only IAN epidemic of sore
throat and Tedness of the skin and
slight fever.o Well, we smilel You
couldn't better describe scarlet fever
And the Press goes on to claim that it is
all jealousy in other journals to say the
scarlet fever is in Oxford. We would
like very much to know what Oxford
has in ITS make up to be jealous of. We
have all learned that the farms in that
quarter are the finest. the wheat the
best, corn the tallest. hens lay the big
gest eggs, cows the finest mixers,
Strawberries the most luscious, men the
most gallant, girls the prettiest; the
best farmers and Oldest terrapins all
center round Oxford. But everybody
has long since located these marvels in
the Press Office and never look any
where else for them. AS for the news.

In the light of these facts what should
the proposed Con ference at Prohibition
Park advise? Plainly to drop the "third
party" prohibition organization, and form
a prohibition alliance, by any name that
seemed most proper, which would gather
into one body all the prohibition elements
of the country and cooperate with the
other reform parties which are rapidly
crystalizing. These reform associations
are not opposed to prohibition, in fact
they are almost unit in favor OF it, but
they will not be dominated aud dictated
to by any OF the three gold ring parties
now in the field.

Don't hoard and scrImp through all the

these ought to be years of happiness

ENJOY LIFE NOW.

Two many of US are looking forward
to happiness in the future years instead
OF getting all the enjoyment possible
out of the present. 1t is we'll to re-
member that the time never will come
IN this world when we shall have every
thing we want, just when and where we
want it. The only way to be happy Is
to enjoy all we have TO the utmost as
we go along. 1t IS right to lay up tor
old age in youth, right to prepare ior
a rainy day, but it is not right TO bend
all our energies to this end, and put off
until the future the happiness we may
enjoy every day. 1t is far too common
to see people working and saving,
DENYING themselves all recreation and
many comforts, to lay up money and
buy more land, to build larger and
finer house, or to save for their child
rem, thinking that then they will be
happy and then begin to take comfort.
The hoped for point may never be OBJ
tained, or, il it is sicknes or death may
come first, and the dear ones whom
we expected to be happy with may be
gone forever.

good things of life as we go along-to

AMBER.

Genuine amber Is by no means so
plentiful as it was some years ago, and
amber cigar holders and pipe stems
will probably rise in price. The genuine
amber is fossil gum, which was pro.
duced in large quantities by trees hav-
ing a resinous sap, which flowed down
the trunks and collected in masses at
the root. 1t is found in the ground of
marshes and other places where forests
fourished IN former times and is also
obtained by dredging. The German
Ocean, Baltic and Black Sea formerly
produced it in great quantities, but the
supply is constantly decreasing and,
unless other fields are discovered, real
amber will soon be scarce and costly.

that the imitation is just as good in
every way, so that even If the ref

GOLD IS lNDESTRUCTIBLE.

Gold is one OF the few things in
this world that is practically indes-
tructible, said Albert S. Ellis, a
well know assayer of Denver, Col,
at the Hotel Imperial. There is
but little wear to it, and even this
little arises from friction. When a
jewelry melts down piece of manu-
factured gold, say an old watch, he
eliminates the baser metals and the
gold is resolved again into lis earliest
purity with but a minute loss. An
ounce of pure gold is worth to o.day
$50. 80, and as gold comes from the
earth it is ordinarily nineteen twen'
tieths fine, the impurities being
silver, copper, quartz, sand, etc. To
remove these various processes are
resorted to, depending on the nature
of the impurities. The usual way is
to have recourse to chemical baths,
acids being taken, in which gold IS
not soluble, but which dissolves
away the copper and silver, leaving
the pure gold.
A karat is one-twenty fourth OF
the chosen standard and thus an
eighteen karat ring would consist ol
eighteen parts gold and six parts
silver and copper, the latter being
| the usual alloy used in jewelry. IL

England gold is generally rated b.
the odd karsts-nine, eleven, thir
teen. etc. In America our standard
has the even numbers, as ten,
twelve, fourteen, etc. Guinea gold
is twenty two karats fine and is the
only gold known Of such fneness.
AS | said, continued Mr.. Ellis,
gold is practically indestl uctiDIe, and
no doubt there is gold in our every
day iewelry that formerly existed in
one way or another in the old
Roman days, or even before, and
has come down to us through all
these centuries. Then again you
can bury gold in the earth, let it
stay there one hundred years or
more, dig it up and its lustre will be
as fresh as the day it was placed in
the ground.

THE ORIGIN OF PHRASES.

"There is no love lost between them"
occurs in the old ballad If "The Babes
in the Wood" and in a tale of the
days of Shakespeare, entitled "Mont
chesney."
Better late than never was used over
800 years ago by Thomas Tucker, IN
his Give Hundred Points of Good
Husbandry. Later on Bunyan used it
in his Pilgrims Progress.
Tipping the wink, generally regarded
as vulgar phrase, is to be found in a
grave historical romance. 1t occurs in
Valerius, Roman story, by John
Gibson Lockhart, Sir Walter SCOTS
son-in-law.
The origin of the phrase, can, see
it, is traced to Lord Nelson, who at the
battle of Copenhagen was told tina, a
signal was given to cease firing. Seiz.
ing telescope he applied it to his
blind eye and exc aimed, l can't see
1t, is traced to Lord Nelson, who at the
battle of Copenhagen was told that a
signal was gwen TO cease firing. Seiz
ing a telescope he applied it to his
blind eye and exclaimed, 81 can't see
it.
Not few of the phrases in use at
this day originated with Lyly, and are
found in bis Euphes, publised in 1880.
Among them are caught mapping,
brown study, catching birds by putting
salt on their tails, etc.
Hauling over the Goals, dates six or
seven centuries back when ieudal
barons often used harsh methods OF
exacting gold from the rich Jews by
suspendlng their victims above slow
fires until they paid ransom or died.
The term blue stocking was origi-
nally used IN Venice about the year
400, to designs' literary classes by
colors. The application of the term
to women originated with Miss Hanna
Mores description of a Blue Stocking
Club in her Bas Bleu.
| acknowledge the corn originated
with slave in the South. He was
charged with stealing corn. Having a
sack with him, he was also charged
with stealing that. His reply was, No
sir; l knowledge de corn, but l amt
gwlne to knowledge to de sack.
Drowning the miller originated from
the following fact; If the mill stream
below the mill is damned or stopped
the water is ponded back, and the mill
becomes tailed. There is too much
water, the mill will not work, and the
miller is to be drowned out.
Corporations have no souls originated
with Sir Edward Coke, who in the six
teenth century was considered one OF
the best legal writers. He says in one
of his treaties: Corporations cannot
commit trespass, nor be outlawed, nor
accommodated, for they have no
souls.
