criticised, the Republican must allow us
to say that we do not see anything
ridiculous in the statements about the
attempts of Vermont to join the Union
or the payment of $4,000 to the State of
New York. And, why, since the RepGb
Hcan is standing up for absolute
accuracy and completeness, does it not
mention the amendments of our State
constitution, adopted in 1888 ?

His eye is as steady and as char

and the plainness of an old shoe.
He was facing a strange audi

he don't use smooth stones and
uses more than five. He let fly,
and the sinners hair began to
bristle up on the backs of their
heads. They were mad at his
vulgarity. They showed fight,
and went away saying he was a

he had struck Goliath plump.

1t is worthy of notice that the
contest for the Speakership of
the House of Representatives has
been conducted In themost friend
ly and good natured manner BY
the numerous candidates and
their friends. No personalities
have been indulged in by any Of
them; it is only a question OF the
fitness and availabilities of the
different gentlemen, wha are ams
bilious efpresiding over the next
House, and e-vey one of them are
democrats who have shown their
ability and party fealty in many
bard fought political contests I'd

choice, but there isno reason why

SOCIALISM.

Whenever any man states
publicly that a man cannot
amass Il million or ten mill
ion dollars in a lifetime and
get it honestly, some pluto
cratic press is ready to jump
UPON him and pronounce him
a socialist or anarchist, or
both.
If Adam had received a sal
airy OF $4,000 per month
from the time of his birth un-
til the present, 1000 years,
with all expense thrown in,
he would still lack over fifty
million dollars Of having as
much money as John D. Rock
efeller has made off the Amer
lean people in the last twen-
ty years.
Now what do you think of
that? Two thousand dol
lars a month is pretty good
pay for any kind of work.
That. is nearly as much as the
President Of the. U. S. gets,
and about 200 times as much
as the average editor and far
mel gets nowadays. Yet if
Mr.. Rockefeller had been get
ting a salary of $4,000 per
months for 1000 years and
all expenses paid he would
still lack fifty million dollars
Of being as rich as he now is.
Now how much has Rookie
Teller made per month during
the last twenty years? Fig
ure it out. Do you want con-
ditions that make this posi-
BILE to continue? If so, Just
continue tO-be a Weakened
allianceman, let your party
and public servants do as
they please, and you will soon
be a serf subject to the dil'ec-
tibn Of a few Rockafellers.-
