SHINING 'em for His Mutton


SHINING 'em for His Mutton.
There are three things THE
RECORDER wants to see: First.
these United States run by hon.
est Grover Cleveland, backed by
aDemocratic Senate and House;
Second, our people raise their
own supplies, and good roads to
carry their product over to mar
ket; Third, our hills and vallies
covered with sheep.
But under the present govern
ment sheep can be raised for his
mutton and not for his wool.
The simplicity of the wool ques
ton is THE thorn today in the
side of that body polite COM
monty know as the Republican
party. Those fallacious figures
and alleged facts with which
that party in past years strove
in its selfishness, and strove sue.
cessfully, to build up vast mon
opolies at the cost of American
wage-earners, have been swept
aside like cobwebs by the statis-
teal tables furnished US by the
government during the past
ten years, while at the same
time the light of tariff reform
has searched out the rich rot.

And what do We find exposed:
We find a vast and fertile
country inhabited by more than
sixty millions Of people, upon
which Providence seems to
have cast its blessings in such
abundance that the very earth
seems anxious to give up its
wealth for the benefit of those
millions, to whom its fruitful.
ness rightfully belongs; we find
a nation beset with the curse Of
favored classes; we find a PEG.

WHEN TERROR WILL FLzR.
A Writer Discourses of the Time When
Death May Be Put Off.
From the London Queen.


From the London Queen.
The history of man might be called the
decline and fall Of error. Formerly we
were afraid OF everything. OF the sea. be-
cause we knew not what waa beyond it, or
what was in it, or what 1t might do. 1t
had been known to rise in resistless might
and to whelm great cities; monsters had
been seen in it-calamaries, krakens, sharks
and whales: the sea was q very terrible
thing.
Then there was the forest; no one could
tell what might come out Of the forest
wolves were there for certain, and serpents,
and very likely human enemies wanting to
kill US. Then thera was the thousand and
one diseases, every one of which was fatal.
Aud there was the vast unknown world be-
yond-filled with enemies, creatures like
msn. bus speaking an unknown tongue aud
breathing hatred-devils they were, not
men.
When this universal terror was still I'M
conquered, the historian began, and 80 we
know what it was, and how it held the peo-
pie 30 that they sought for charms and magic
TO escape from it aud to get a little conf
dence. Then they began TO find out things
and gradually the terror was dispelled 9.
They crossed the sea and found out what
was on the other side; they penetrated the
foress and killed the wild beasts; they
learned strange languages nnd Travelled in
strange lands; they found out how to ward
Off disease.
Finally there remains Of the old terror
only one or two things. Men feer, now,
nothing but what they cannot control
some forms of disease. earthquakes, light
ming and death. These things eau DO still
further reduced we shall overcome disease;
we shall, perhaps, control the lightning; we
shall learn the cause Of earthquakes; We
shall put Off death.
