ending Of a young life. The be.
reayement falls on the parents and
family with great force.

answered, "Now repeatedly She
gave as her reason, that she could
not get married until she asked her
mother, and then came the tears.
Despite the efforts of the minister's
wife aud the young man she held
to her refusal. The young couple
was then left in the parlor alone TO
settle the matter. After short
while they declared themselves
ready for the ceremony. This
time, when the question, "wilt thou
have this woman etc, was put to
the young man, he replied, 'Non
and turning TO the girl he said,
"you haye made a fool Of me, and
you have made q fool Of the minis

THE practice of carrying revol-
vers for defense has undoubtedly
led more men into trouble than it
has saved from attack by the
vicious. Hundreds of men who
are now in penitentiaries through
out the country expiating the
crimes of mansla lighter and murder
owe their downfall to the habit of
carrying revolvers. There have
been enough tragic lessons to cause

En route to Chicago ! met o strong de-
fender Of the Republican party, who
could find no words strong enough in
which to condemn the calamity" party,
as he called the Peoples party. "The
credit Of the state had been ruined" etc.
After q short conversation he complained
that he had been compelled to leave
$500 in a Topeka bank because he
could not invest lei His whole horizon
began and ended In his own selfish de-
alres. How such men can expect 70 be
followed Ia q mystery. He shuts his
eyes to facts. From the paper l bought
next morning, as we neared Chicago, he
might have learned enough TO set him
thinking. Here are some of the facts,
which ought to open the eyes of the
thinking people.
The Etna Fire Insurance company, of
Hartford, Ct, has just declared 20 per
cent. stock dlyidend of $25OyOOO, increas-
ing its capital to $1,5OO,OOO. This $780,
600 has been saved from profits and now
is capitalized so as TO allow the company
to pay dividends on the increased capital.
IL is such stock watering which adds 20
the peoples burdens and against which
the Peoples party alone dsreS TO raise its
voice.
The Chicago Sunday Tribune gives
without comment q List of several hun
dred places, reported by street and num-
Der, where the sweating process Of cheap
labor is practiced. The list shows crowd
cd rooms, with poor ventilation, where
men and women work at starvation pric-
eS to earn pittance to keep body and
soul together. How easy for the noble
patriots who support tho two old parties
to shut their eyes to the facts and let
matters take their course without inter
ference. Does any thinking man or
woman expect either the Republican or
Democratic party to take any action on
such matters? If 80, admire the SUI
blime faith. They content themselves
generally with such expressions Of sym
pathy as the Democratic party of Kansas
passed the other day expressing "Sym-
pathy" for the Homestead men.
