petual: may it's spirit be upon all
hearts for the salvation OF the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
3. Wealth belongs to him who
creates it, and every dollar taken
from industry without an equivalent
is robbery. "If any will not WORK,
neither shall Inc cat" The interests
of rural and civic labor are the same
their enemies are identical.
3. We believe the time has come
when the railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people
must own the railroads, and should
the government enter upon the WORK
of owning and managing all roads, we
should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons
engaged in the government service
shall be placed under civil service
regulation of the most rigid character,
SO as to prevent the increase of the
power of the national administration,
by the use of such additional govern
ment employees.

LAND.
Second-The land, including all tn
natural resources of wealth, is the her
itage of all the people and should no
be monopolized for speculative pun
poses, and alien ownership of LAM
should be prohibited. All land nov
held by railroads and other corpora
lions in excess of their actual needs
and all lands owned by aliens, shoul
be reclaimed by the government an
held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION.
Third Transportation being mean
of exchange and public necessity, tn
government should own and operat
the railroads in the interest of tn
people.
a. The telegraph and telephone, ik
the post-office system, being a necessit
for transmission of news, should b

TREATING IN AMERICA AND FIJI.
What The COrinth District Reporter says
Regarding the Treating Habit.

What The Corinth District Reporter says
Regarding the Treating Habit.
The anti treating society of Phila-
delpha is making progress. 1t has a
large membership of prominent club
men and the senseless and mischief
working system of treating promises
to become unpopular.
No thinking man will dispute the
fact, whose truth is confirmed by daily
observation, that Il large share of in
temperance which is such curse to
American society is not only prOmOt-
ed but was largely originated by the
purely American habit of creating"
The habit is founded on the false idea
of hospitality. If a man is hungry he
goes into restaurant for lunch, and
does not feel the necessity of inviting
any friend, or party of friends, to join
him in satisfying his hunger. Why
should he, if he feels thirsty, deem it
any more incumbent upon him to call
his friends in to share his rotations
In FIJI it is different. Any white
man found giving Intoxicating drink
to an aboriginal or half-caste, in any
district in Fiji, is liable to n penalty
of fifty pounds, or Imprisonment.

Having arrived upon the scene, what

APPALLING CONDITIONS.


Our country is confronted by condi-
tiOns for which there is no precedent
i'm the history of the world. Our an
nual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within few weeks or months
be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their pro-
ductiOn; the existing currency supply
is wholly inadequate to make the
exchange; the results are falling
prices, the formation of combines and
rings, the Impeachment OF the pro-
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that if given power we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable legislation in accordance with
the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of gov
eminent, in otherwords of the people,
should be expanded, as in the case OF
the postal service, as rapidly and as
far as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings of experience
shall justify to the end that oppres..
sion, injustice and poverty shall
eventually ceasesin the land.
While our sympathies as u Is2rty OF
reform are naturally upon the sfqe OF
every proposition which will tend to
make men intelligent, virtuons and
temperate, we nevertheless regard
these questions important as they
areas secondary to the great issues
now pressing for solution, and upon
which not only our individual pros
perity, but the very existence of free
institutions depend; and we ask all
men to first help us to determine
whether welafe to have republic to
administer, before we differ MS to the
conditions upon which it is to be adj
ministered. Believing that the forces
of reform this day organized will
never cease to move forward until
every wrong is remedied, aud equal
privileges securely established for all
the men and women of this country,
we declare, therefore,
/. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum-
mated, shall be permanent and per-

No More corsets for Thorn.

From Baltimore We have the inter-
esting news that 800 feminine pupils
in the state normal school there have
discarded corsets and garters, and will
not hereafter wear them as part OF
the school garb, the outdoor dress or
the homo costume, but instead there
OF will adopt, or rather have already
adopted, health waists and elastic
stocking supporters. They gave the
subject long consideration before tax
ing this action, and made themselves
familiar with the Chautauqua argu-
ments in its favor, which were
not regarded as conclusive. The
professor OF physical culture set
tied the question when she set
up q rule requiring all her pupils to
make the change needed to Sc
cure the full benefit OF muscular exer-
else. The physical culture class
obeyed this order, and were highly
delighted with the result, whereupon
the other young ladies in the state
normal school followed their example
and got rid of corsets and garters.
Thus the great reform has got q
powerful foothold in Baltimore, which
Is now away ahead OF Boston in this
respect. 1t may be presumed that
within very short time all the ladies
OF Baltimore will adopt the change
which Prof. Helen M. Cole has COM
PEELED her pupils to make.
OF course this slight change does not
cover the whole OF the programme oil
the Chautauqua dress reformers, but
since reform has begun in a hopeful
way we may expect to see it advance
until the Turkish trousers Of Chau-
tauqua are familiar to the people oil
Baltimore and other places.-New

Three Meals a Day.

Now, since housekeeper has to
plan ninety meals month, or almost
eleven hundred a year; it often seems
to her as if folks did little else than
eat; but to the men and the other
women who are actively employed
all day, and have none of the burdens
of the kitchen work to bear, the
meals appear to be a long time
apart. Almost all people require
three meals q day, and two should
surely be substantial. So well are
the markets supplied now that a city
housekeeper has no difficulty in
keeping her table we'll furnished-with
q variety, too, IL she have plump
purse; but unless she use good judge
ment in planning her meals and select
ing the food material, her table will
not be satisfactory whatever the
amount expended may be.
The housekeeper in the country has
by far the hardest task, because there
is such a sameness in the raw material.
The bills OF fare to be given may help
many who cannotfollow them exactly,
by suggesting combinations. A bill oil
fare OF four or FIVE courses can be made
simple by dropping part OF the
courses; as, for example, having only
fish or meat and vegetables, and then
dessert.

The origin of card playing is uncertain.
It is said to have been brought to Viterbo

The invention Of gunpowder is gener-

Schwartz, q Cordelier monk of Goslar,
