WHERE ARE WE DRIFT

WHERE ARE WE DR1F TING?
We have had, thirty-one years of in
territorial taxation for the double Oh
ject of building up certain industries
and of keeping the wage level at a high
figure. The consumers of the country
have paid enormous sums for this pur-
pose; paying them knowingly OF un-
knowingly, but paying them all the
same. 4,
The Republican party, whose policy
this has been, invites its continuance.
Shall it be continued. or shall it be
stopped? is the one great, vital question
presented to the voters of the country
for decision. All other questions are
only flies on the wheel. -..4
What have we for these .thirty-one
years of effort? What is the condition
of these aided industries? What is the
condition OF the wage earner?.
One hundred trusts hold the produc-
ton of the great lines of manufacture in
their grasp, and regulate output and
price. Competition is crushed out.
twenty-five thousand meu have half
the wealth of the country. Against the
trusts labor has Combined aud ergan-
lied to demand and force the giving of
its share of the bonus. The papers
have teemed for year with accounts of
reduction of wages, strikes aad lock-
outs. Organized labor turns its weap-
ons against unorganized labor that
would take the places it deserts, with
even greater ferocity than it contests
with its employers. They shoot non
union men to death in the mines of
CGur d. Alene; they resist to the death
their Introduction into the works at
Homestead. Everywhere labor raises
its hand against labor. The condition
is one of actual, as well as industrial
war.
Nor is this ALL. The inevitable Sc
quence follows. The civil power is de-
fed; all regard for law is discarded.
Then comes The bayOnet. Today militia
guard the works at Homestead. Fed
eral troops, on the petition Of the gov
ernor of Idaho. are moving to Quell the
labor war in that state. In our own
state but recently the governor, quick
to respond to the behests of his fellow
investors, sends the militia to Tower to
overawe the miners who disagree with
their employers as to their cOmpensa-
ton and strike. The secretary of war
recently reports that the use of the
regular army Oh the frontier is no long
er requisite; and recommends that it
be Increased and scattered in cOnven-
lent posts among the states. The fed
eral troops are gathered about the great
centers where these taX-buiIt industries
are densest, that they may be at hand
when labor, denied what it has been
taught to believe is its own, battles for
it-mistakeniy, wrongfully, of course
but as sincerely as ever men fought for
their rights. Well may thoughtful
/ men stop and ponder and ask: VIII ere
are we drifting?

A Steel

In order to economic space and
weight, steel is being used for the CON
s%truction, at the Chicago exhibition, of
a chimney which, when completed, will
be $50 feet high. The steel varies in
thickness from 5-32 inch at top to
% inch at the bottom. The lower part
of the chimney is lined with fire brick
s inches deep, formed to fit the shell
compactly all round. Above this hollow
tile is used.
The weight of q brick chimney Of this
size would be almost 700 tons, while in
steel it will weigh, including the Innings,
a little less than $50 tons. The outside
diameter of the chimney is 9 feet )
inches, whereas had it been constructed
of brick it would be IS feet & inches, a
great saving of space being thus effected.

Abroad.

Two small c~hildren-one a boy and
the other a girl-were permitted to &C
company their mother on a shopping
tour in the week before Christmas. They
espied a life size figure of Santa Claus in
one of the large retail marts in Sixth
avenue. Breaking away from parental
guidance, they ran joyfully up to the
figure, exclaiming, "Oh, Mr.. Santa
Claus!'' "Mr. Santa Claus!" with such
vehemence that the attention of at least
a dozen persons was attracted to them.
With all of the sincerity and enthusi,
asm that true faith imparts those little
ones stood before the grizzled and toy
laden image and told what they wanted
''Dear Mr.. Santa Claus" to bring them
for Christmas. The little boy wanted a
wagon with horses that could trot, and
the girl wanted a dolly that could open
and shut its eyes and talk. So Srm was
their belief in the actual presence Of
Santa Claus that the little folks iInag-
ined that they could see a twinkle in his
eye and a smile Of assent to their peti-
tons on his lips. 1t was an incident
that touched the adult observers. one Ct
whom, a white haired old gentleman.
murmured, IT'S a pity that a child's be
lief in Santa Claus should ever be

he fell headlong twelve feet into the

loose and ran away, leaving the party III

WHY He Gave Away Overshoes.

1--WE have a shoemaker in Our town.
says a Quebec man, whose business in
selling overshoes has been ruined by a
hustling rubber house, and who. this
winter, to get even, had a great opening
sale, at which he gave to every purchaser
of shoes a pair of rubber overshoes, upon
the soles of which was his advertisement
reversed so that at every step the wearers
take through the snow they leave his
advertisement neatly printed in their
tracks. The effect is magical and power
full. You can scarcely look at the snow
any place in Quebec without seeing foot
prints with this mans name glaring
boldly from them.-New York Tribune.

Mountain Lions Galore.

On the last trip Of l.. FL. Gaskill into the
region about San Francisquito bay, on
the gulf coast, he saw lions and lynxes
and wildcats enough TO stock a big me-
nagerie. In one canyon, where his party
was encamped, the burros wandered of
and Mr.. Gaskill started to find them.
When about half a mile from the camp
he heard them coming tearing down
ahead Of him as if the Old Nick himself
was after them, and they dashed on
down toward camp. He knew that some
wild beast had frightened them, and al
though unarmed he went on in the hope
of getting a glimpse.
When he had gone a hundred yards
further and had climbed on to a large
table rock he was astounded to see four
full grown mountain lions not more
than sixty feet ahead of him, and they
seemed to have seen him first and were
looking straight at him. Mr.. Gaskill
remembers distinctly that his hair stood
on end, If EVER a mans did, but he
doesn't remember all the minute details
of his return to camp-only that he got
there muy pronto. He and his partner
took rifles and went after the lions, but
they had gone. That night the burros
were tied unusually secure, but their
occasional snorts and efforts to break
away indicated that the wild animals
were after meat. A blazing fire kept
them at a distance.
Mr.. Gaskill states that the Mexicans
and Indians living on that part Of the
peninsula are in mortal dread of meet
ing q lion, as the beasts are in a CON
stantly famished condition, and have
been known to follow men for hours,
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
pounce upon them.-Lower Californian.
