Jordan's name is Kinney" not
<'Stormy," and he claims to have spent
a fortune in front of the bar before
going behind it. He enjoys his present
notoriety. The name of his saloon was
given to it by Gen. j. B. Weaver, the
noted greenbacker, while engaged in
prosecuting Jordan many years ago
for selling whisky in violation of law.
Jordan has a family of several children

good nature mixed with his cussedness.

There is IL great amount of untruth
about the formal examinations of many
OF our letters. Formality is doubtless
always more or less false; but it seems
pity and mistake that civilization
should prompt us to utter falsehoods.
The savages have the advantage over us
there; they tell white lies and black
lies, to the best of our belief, as fire.

little more scmblancc of truth in the
assertion, and we should be able to
form more correct estimate of our
establishment of most obedicnt serv-

step beyond "Iours truly" and it might
lead to number of most painful dcccp-
tons, if long use had not taught us to
know better than to believe in such sim

if not touching, to observe how
easily lady correspondents in par

Tho Proper Way to Walk. to Breathe aud
to Climb Stairs.
Prof. Edwin Checl1ley lately lectured
before an audience in the library of tho
Hamilton club on physical training for
health as against athletes in general.
He said in part:
1t is generally thought that in order
to attain any great degree of physical
development it is necessary to go
through Il course of training. / MAIN
tain that is not true unqualifiedly. If
it were athletes would nearly all be
models of physical development, which
is far from being the case. General
ly, persons do not stand with
their spines straight, which main
tain is the way they ought to be.
The curve of the neck also is, us a rule,
too great. Such faults should be gotten
rid of before anything like work is at
tempted, that is work in the way of
physical development. One should
walk from the hips The hip Joint
should be used not only in standing, but
Ill walking. The limb then swings
backward and forward like pendu-
lum If this is practiced, walking is no
labor, as the weight is not transferred
from one leg to the other, but all that
is necessary is to raise yourself on the
toe and the weight of the body swings
itself forward easily and naturally. L
maintain that the muscles should be
soft instead of hard and tense. If i
want to develop muscle it is not nee
cssary for me to sit down and pull ON
something for an hour every day which
will bring that muscle into play. No

Il purpose. The abdominal muscles are
not necessary to the imitation of the
lungs. l will give you an example of
imitation of my lungs without using the
abdominal muscles. 1t is generally
supposed that when the muscles are
soft there is little strength in them.
Now if l, little man with soft mus
clcs, should break this chain, it would
go to show to the contrary" Here the
speaker stretched both arms back of
his neck with his hands grasping IL
chain and, cXcrting himself, broke the
stout links, exhibiting his magnificent
muscular development at the same time.
lie then told how the muscles of the alb
domcn may be developed. Talking an
hour Il day, if one brcathes properly
while doing it, will give enough abdom-
inal development. The power of muscles
when exercised and controlled intelli-
gently was given practical dcmonstra-
ton by the speaker, who lay fiat on his
back and raised several men on his
hands. He called attention to common
faults in the methods of standing and
sitting. The body should be held erect
i'll sitting down, and only one joint, that
OF the knee, used. 1t would he u good
thing, the lecturer declared, if the old
fashioned bow from the hip were to be
revived, as that would encourage the
use of the hip as joint The proper
way to go up stairs was illustrated In
stead of putting one foot up and then
pushing. the body with the other, one
should lean over and get the second
foot on the same step with the first, and
then push with two feet instead of one
to raise the weight of the body.-Brools-

sIxTY-NTNE CENTS.

The s. F. Post, which has not at
all been friendly to the silver cause,
puts its views on the so-called "69-
cent dollar" in the following clear
light:
s'Without attempting to discuss or
explain at length the question of free
coinage, which most people seems to
think conceals something very mystic
rious and difficult of comprehension,
we may dispose of one fallacy in
very few words, and that is the one
which constantly refers to the silver
dollar as worth only sixty-nine cents.
tsThe error arises in not distinguish
ing the bullion value of silver from it's
monetary value. Measured by gold,
the bullion value of the silver in a
standard dollar is, at the present COM
mercial value of silver, only about SO
cents in gold, but under the laws of
the United States there is no more
reason for measuring silver by gold
than gold by silver. The man who
has five silver dollars in one pocket
and a five-dollar gold piece in the
other has ten dollars. The purchas-
ing or debt-paying power of the silver
is exactly equal to that of the gold,
and however jealous gold monomet-
allist the owner of the ten dollars
may be, you cannot induce him to sell
his five silver dollars for FIVE times SO
cents, or So 45. For all purposes in
the United States his silver is as good
as his gold.
"The man who talks about the 60
cent dollar may chance to have in
third pocket So greenback or treas
ury note OF certificate. The intrinsic
value of that piece of paper in simply
worth zero, yet the man who cannot
accept free coinage because the silver
dollar has only SO cents in it will take
paper money at the value printed on
its face, though it has not single
cent in it, SO far as a metallic basis is
concerned.
eff the free coinage bill becomes a
law it will be amusing to see how
people will accept it. They will be
wondering within six months how they
ever questioned its wisdom. The
agents of foreign manufacturers and
the holders of bonds may squirm a
little, but they are not the people for
whom Congress legislates.

Carnegia's Carnage.

O8r@O8uS'w OaEWoROs
The bloody riots near Pittsburg last
week, in which many lives were sacri-
feed, are certain to have at least one
good effect, and that is to raise such a
feeling of indignation throughout the
length and breadth of the country
against the Pinkerton thugs as will
forever blot out the use of these hired
assassins and murderers in this coun-
try. While we shudder at the splitting
of human blood even in just cause,
we would have no regret-and we be-
lieve the great majority of the Ameri-
can people would have none-if the
workmen at Homestead had burned
up the barges that contained these hir-
lings and left not one of their number
to tell the tale of their unholy mission.
Andrew Carnegie, the head of the
great iron and steel industry around
Pittsburg, is responsible for the car
mage of July 9Th. He had tried to
reduce his workmen to the condition
of serfs. When they resisted, he
gave his order to the Pinkerton's to
raise an army of DULLES, roughs and
assassins, the vilest ruffains and cut
Threats OF the big cities, to go and shoot
down his artesans if they interfered
with his imperial will To this band
of murderers he could pay $40 per
day per head, while the men who toll
ed like slaves in the heat of his work
shop were reduced to dollar day.
So it came to pass under the reign
Carnegie that the wages of murder
reached . scale ten times greater than
that of honest toll. It was for this
that the workmen faced the Pinker-
tons and after hard days fight
wiped them out and took them priso-
ners.
The business of the corporation that
has rcsorted to this method to enslave
its employees is protected by high
tariff that shuts out all competition. It
has grown wealthy and arrogant and
powerful, heartlessly grinding its en-
ployes to starvation as return for the
high protection the government gives
it. And when the workmen can no
longer live on the reduced wages and
rebel, this viper corporation that has
been nursed and reared by benefi-
Gent government, raises an army un-
known to the Constitution and laws of
the country to shoot them down and
force them into submission.
The whole political and social fabric
that permits of such things is wrong,
and unless remedied will in time lead
to crimes as revolving as those which
chracterized the French Revolution.
The same agencies are at work now in
this country as those which preceded
that great political and social up
heaval-aggregate wealth grinding the
people almost beyond endurance. The
affair at Homestead is only the skir-
mish line of the great contest that is
sure to come unless the greed and
-'arice Of corporate wealth is checked.
