Food for One Day,

A man requires for days work "a
ounces of dry solids. He will con
sumo so ounces of water. OF the 80
ounces of water, 90 will be derived
from ordinary food, and the "a ounces
of dry solids will be found in 45
ounces of moist food. There are,
however, many things to be estimat,
ed Quantity of food varies with
age, sex, amount Of work, climate
and season. Cost of food has muc;l
to do with quantity and quality, AMI
there is one thing else, often forgot,
ten; it is the digestibility of food

An Old Law.

The queerest of the ancient laws
that have been allowed to remain
unrepealed in the District of Colum,
bia is one which makes it crime to
deny belief in the Holy Trinity, and
fixes the punishment at imprison-
ment. If that law was suddenly put
into force today it would cause a
lively agitation 1t was on the books
when John Quincy Adams was presi.
dent of the United States, and he
was a pronounced Unitarian. Every
Sunday he would 60 to the little
Unitarian church down on Sixth
street and lead in the singing. There
was a strange spectacle during all
that administration of the president
of the United States living in open
violation of the law. w.--Interview in

Publishers Too Liberal.

Every line in a newspaper costs
something. II 1t IS for the benefit OF
an individual it should be paid for.
II the grocer were asked to contribute
groceries to one abundantly able to
pay for them he would refuse. The
proprietor OF newspaper must pay
for the free advertising if the bene.
ficiary does not, and yet it is one OF
the hardest things to be learned by
many that a newspaper has space in
it's columns to rent and must rent to
live. To give away or rent for any
thing less than living rates would be
as certainly fatal as for landlord to
furnish rent free.

came frightened. Starting to run the

tongue fell down, pitching the oc.

A BankruDt Treasury

The Harrison administration will leave
a bankrrp, treasury. The legerdemain
Of repnblicsn bookkeeping may attempt
to conceal this fact, but it will hardly
succeed. The present condition of the
treasury and the methods adopted by
Secretary Foster to conceal the disagreed,
BILE truth are set forth in the following
editorial from the Philadelphia Times:
When President Harrison entered Office
he found over S65. 100000 OF q supIus
In the treasury. Stating the treasury
account as Secretary Foster has since
stated 1t in his juggling way by the aid
OF congress. the surplus in the treasury
on the day that Harrison assumed his
position was not less than $3.50, 900. 600
The $65. DOC. 900 surplus as stated by the
Cleveland secretary OF the secretary did
not embrace the $55. 000. 600 of bank re-.
demption fund since covered into the
treasury, nor did it embrace some $2O, {.
OOO.O of subsidiary coin. or the balances
OF disbursing officers amounting to some
$4,000. COO more In the various deposit
tories OF the government. Today the
.reasurY is literally bankrupt, and only
BY the studied abuse of figures is 1t made
70 appear as even nominally solvent. The
100000 Of gold coin for the re-
demption OF treasury notes. the subsid-
iary coin and the accounts OF disbursing
officers are all taken into the treasury
assets. although not dollar of either is
available for the payment Of the govern
meut obligations.

gone still further in their demands for
legislation in the interest Of the whole
people. But it is needless to say that
without a single exception the peti
tions, demands and prayers of these
various farmers organizations repre-
senting millions of voters have been
simply ignored or ridiculed and
trampled under foot by the very men
whom farmers and workingmen's
votes sent to Congress to mis)repre-
sent them. The farmers and other
manual laborers constitute at least
three fourths of the voters OF the ma
tion. how then dare their representa-
tives in Congress refuse to listen to
their requests9 The answer is simple.
Because farmers and workingmen are
divided between two parties both of
which parties are controlled by asmaH
set of men called politicians and these
politicians are in the employ of a still
smaller set of men-capitalists-who
keep in the background and aid both
parties, SO that which ever party wins
their interests are safe. 1t is safe to
say that were it put to a popular vote
tomorrow seven-eighths of all the
voters in these United States would
vote for the free coinage of silver, and
yet when such a bill is introduced to
the House we find both parties work
ing in the interest of a few Wall street
bankers and defeating the will of a
great majority of the people. If the
farmers ever expect to get any laws
passed i'm their interest, if they wish
to save their homes from Shylock's
lightning grip then let them cease
fighting each other in two separate
parties and unite forces in the Peoples
party and vote together, In union is
strength. A law that viii benefit one
viii benefit all; why then should they
divide their forces and fight each other

very purpose by the money powers

A TERRIBLE cLouDBURsr.

ALPINE, Texas, Sept. 5.-This place
was nearly swept away by terrible
cloudburst which formed over Devil
mountains, six miles south of town,
yesterday. The water rushed down
the mountains in huge volumes, tear
ing up trees by the roots and dashing
everything in front of it to death.
Large trees were torn up by the roots.
Burros, heavy timbers, cattle and
horses foated through the town and
gave plain evidence Of the havoc done.
in the mountains. The rangers camp,
four miles south of town, in a narrow
canon, much have been washed away.
Mexicans fed from their homes to the
mountains and a general panic pre-
vailed. Considerable damage was done
to the railroad track. Deans rancho
above high-Water mark, twenty-five
miles south of town, washed away.
