A little six-year old, pretty as pic

vited out with few friends of her own
age the other evening. It was at Cass
avenue residence that the little misses
and masters were entertained. After
an hours romp, during which our hero
inc showed a precocious dignity, dinner
was served, the lady of the house giving
the matter her personal supervision.
When she reached this particular little
girl the matron said, "Are you well
helped, my little dearg
"Oh, I'm beautifully helped. Be-yoo-

you given me? He sits here just like a

The small boy slid under the table,

little miss capped the climax by declar-

"It's strange what creatures Of habit
some Of MS are" said Mr. Staybolt,
There's my friend. Walter Gratebar.
Exemplary man, capable and efficient
under ordinary conditions. but lost IL he
departs from his daily routine. His wife
Is just like him, methodical in every
thing. They have roast beef for dinner
on the same day each week. There is a
breakfast bill of fare for each day in the
week, and ii never varies. Mr.. Gratebar
doesn't remember the time, for instance,
when they didn't have picked up Goldfish
on Tuesdays.
He is so accustomed 20 these things
that his sense of taste now runs in waves,
which recur with absolute regularity.
It is probable that If picked up canvas
back was set before him on Tuesday
morning it would taste to him more like
picked up Goldfish, for that's his Goldfish
morning, and his taste is set for codfisn.
AS matter of fact. he ate smoked beef
for breakfast last Tuesday morning and
didn't know II until night. II seemed TO
him that there was something wrong
about that breakfast, but he didn't make
out what it was.
He went TO his business at the usual
time and began his work in the usual
way, but everything went wrong. When
noon came he wentto the same restaurant
that he had always been to, stood in the
same place at the lunch counter, ate the
same lunch that he had eaten for years,
and was back at work in twenty min
utes, as usual. but nothing seemed to
60 right, and as the afternoon wore on
there was added to his other woes a
feeling of physical discomfort. His
work dragged and he was late home.

calm face, but with lighter heart, for
1t was relief to him to know what was
the matter with him.

BEFORE AND AFTER.
The Peoples Party Espoused the Cause
of Labor Before All Other Parties.

The Peoples Party Espoused the Cause
of Labor Before All Other Parties.
At Cincinnati more than a year ago;
at St Louis last February; at Omaha
July 4th, the peoples party stated the
following as one of the conditions
which need remedying:
1.-THE urban workmen are denied the
right of organization for self-protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down
their wages; hireling standing army.
unrecognized by our laws, is established
to shoot them down; and they are rap
idly degenerating into European condi-
tons"
At the very time when the Home
stead trouble was brewing the peoples
party at the great Omaha convention
reiterated the above calamity howl"
for the third time within fifteen months.
And yet there are not half dozen
prominent papers in the United States
but what have ridiculed the suggestion
of troublesome conditions They have
declared that all such intimations were
baseless, and that they eminated only
from crack-brain reformers, whom they
denounce as calamity howlers."
The declarations Of the peoples party
platform for the last year have been
emphasized by the blood and wounds of
more than one hundred men.
Is it not time for people to stop and
listen? Is there not something to howl
about? Is it not time to look the situa-
ton square in the face?
And in making up their verdict people
should remember that the declarations
Of the peoples party were made before
the tragic events at Homestead and not
after, as have been some of the utter
ances Of alleged statesmen.-Chicago

Mr.. Carnegie's Employees Have just as
Much Right to Discharge Him as He
Has to Discharge Them.
1t is not simply matter Of wages,
nor of tariffs, nor of Pinkertons, though
these are included in the broad issues
raised by the battles at Homestead, in
Pennsylvania, and ,Ceur d'Alene, in
Idaho. Speaking of the latter the Min
neapolis Tribune rep says:
Idaho silver mining is not protected
by tariff. Neither were the Ceur dAlene
mines invaded by Pinkerton men. But
that did not prevent battle and blood
shed.
The mine owners thought 50 day
enough for unskilled hands. The union
men demanded $3.50 and refused to
work for 50. The mine owners then
attempted to work their mines with
non-union men.
'0n Monday the feeling between the
union and non-union men eliminated
After preliminary skirmish, the union
men in an armed body marched upon
the Frisco mill, and after blowing it up
with giant powder, succeeded in forcing
the surrender of 10 non-union laborers.
The result was five men killed, and a
loss Of 1925, 600 by explosion.
THE affair was purely contest be-
tween union and non-union labor.
Union labor maintained the principle
that it had a rightto prevent non-union
labor from accepting work from which
union labor had struck. The contest
rested on the same issue as that which
underlay the Homestead trouble"
Granted that it is purely a contest
between union and non-union labor,
it is very important that the country
understand the differences between the
two
Non-union or unorganized labor is
madesup of that vast body of men who
accept the existing industrial conditions
either as all right, or the best that car
be had, or who admit that they are very
far from being right but fear that any
distinct, or concerted effort to better
them, might make matters worse.
Union or organized labor is bold, as
sertiye, aggressive, and maintains thai
the laborer has rights not recognized BY
the existing arrangements.

A Change of Front.

The most notable change in policy Of
the republican press of late is in its at
titude toward the strikers in Home
stead, Pa Up to this time almost
without exception the papers of pro-
lection and plutocracy have challenged
the cause Of the capitalists and Pink
ertons Whitelaw Reid, the nominee
for the second place on the republican
ticket, some years ago advised that the
strikers be shot down like dogs. Strange
indeed is the change and not so strange
either when we come to think OF 1t
The laboring men are beginning TO
make themselves felt, and the repub-
lican press has found it out. Until
very recently ''the sacred rights OF
property was the only right that
was considered worth looking after
or caring for. Organized labor has
learned the people differently. A la
borer's life was not considered as
amounting to much, but his vote was
worth as much as that of any one else.
The republicans have been driven to
take their present stand; had it not
have been the columns would to-day be
bristling as of old with all sorts Of de-
nunciations of the men who would dare
to raise feeble hand against their lord

radical resolutions:

nation from the grasp Of corporations and syn

common people with whom it originated, there

do put forth and sustain the following resolu-
tons and declaration Of independence:
Resolved, That to the producer belongs all
the products Of his labor
Resolved, That any business, or any industry
which requires the service of the people TO
operate it, and requires the patronage Of the
people to sustain it, is not the business Of any
one man, or any set OF men-iti is the business
Of the nation.

DON'T SAY IT AGAIN.
Some Advice to Democratic Organ-A
Plea of Not Guilty Not Sustained.

Some Advice to a Democratic Organ-A
Plea of Not Guilty Not Sustained.
The st. Louis Republic, which has
throughout been inclined to treat the
peoples party with a commendable de-
gree of fairness, in an editorial July
IA, recites the complaints made in the
preamble, and assents that every COM
plant made is well founded; or, at
least, does not attempt to controvert a
single one of them. But the editor of
the republic then says:
How can the leaders and teachers Of
the peoples party include the democ-
racy in their condemnation when the
democracy have not had even an oppor-
tunity to show what they can or might
do for thirty years"
In the very same paper on the very
next page is given an account of the
defeat of the reconciliation of silver
in the house of representatives with
its democratic majority of about $50,
and that, too, after the bill had been
passed by the republican senate A
few issues back the Republic gave the
report of the democratic national
committee on platform which recog-
nized the protection" feature in the
tariff as plainly as did the republican
platform. This coupled with the work
of the present house with its large
majority, not daring to attack but a
single point in the tariff, and that
point one which must add to the ben.
efts of the protected interests, we are
compelled to say that the Republics
plea of not guilty cannot be sustained,
and we hope it will never again be Of
fered in the great trial now going on
before the people. Progressive Farmer.

THE WAR is OVER.

The Blue and the Gray Are at Last
Blended Harmoniously In a National
Ticket.
The act of the Omaha convention in
nominating Weaver and Field has one
Growing feature that cannot be too
much considered or discussed.
Many wide-open mouths have said:
"The war is over" but it remained for
the peoples party to proclaim by an
overt act, that everybody could see, I'M
derstand and rightly interpret, that the
bloody shirt, with the people, is buried
For the first time in national politics
has a confederate veteran been properly
recognized.
The south has suffered much from the
waving of the bloody shirt, and yet the
old time political hack finds great
pleasure in using it against Weaver. 1t
is horrible thing for the bloody boys
Of the north to use it against democ-
racy, but it is all right now to wave the
old thread-bare rag against the nomi-
nee Of the peoples party. A Virginia
congressman has been interviewed and,
as is usual with the press, his mouth,
red with slaughter, has been used to
stir up the animals. Weaver, in the
opinion of the congressman, was and is
great blood-wader He sucked up
whole hogsheads of southern blood
during the war, and actually, since the
war, has said some naughty things
about the dear old democratic party.
Ask that congressman if he didn't vote
for Greeley or Hancock that butchered
the gallant boys at Gettysburg.
And as to Field-why he is blood
wader too, and wanted the whole yam
kee nation killed.
Of course the Virginia congressman
has got it down all right, and we arr
glad to find it so. We were looking fol
blood-waders at Omaha, and we ar,
glad to know that we found them. w,
didn't want to nominate a deserter o.
court proof" gentleman. We want
ed to emphasize the great fact that Will
the people the war is over, and W,
could not do it unless we got blood
wader, real, live, CORY blood-wader
So here's health to the blood-waders
Weaver and Field, arm in arm, laying
flowers upon tlB graves of the blue an,
the gray.
And the Richmond Dispatch, in it
issue of July 10, 1892, says: "The won
der is how they can 'harmonize'." Well
the peoples party is going to show yor
how to ''harmonize"-how to put al
end to the hate and bitterness of tn
brother-struggle, how to unite th
great west and the great south in
common struggle for liberty and jus
tice. National Economist.
