Gideon #. Stewart writes of Gun
ion of Forces" There is no doubt
that a union of all the forces now in
revolt against both old parties would
be most desirable thing if it could
be accomplished on wise, well-ad-
iusted and progressive basis. The
difficulty, however, lies right here.
Prohibitionists have revOlted from
their old parties chiefly or solely be-
cause of the drink issue. A union of
forces that does not deliver itself with
outspoken courage on this subject will
present no stronger attractions for
them than the old parties have ct
So with those who have revolted be-
cause of the present financial policy
of the old parties. A union of forces
to present any attraction to them
must be radical in regard to finance.
So with those who have become, be-
cause of tariff reform, Independents
or Mugwumps. The union is no
union for them without a strong de-
liverance on the tariff question. But
q new party that endeavOrs 10 weld
these three elements together into one,
by a mechanical process similar to
to that by which the blacksmith Yields
his pieces of iron, will find it almost a
hopeless task There must be some
one bond of union before there can be
"a real union, and the only bond so far
apparent is distrust of both old par
ties. and such a bond is not very
durable one. Such a union must have
some one dominant issue. What can
it be? The financial issue? AS we
have said, that is an issue that
changes year by year, and, moreover,
an issue that Is simply legislative in
its nature, not administrative. Either
of the old parties could at any time
check mate such party by passing
or trying to pass some bill that made
important concessions to its demands.
The same may be said of the tariff. 1t
is not an administrative issue. 1t is
not an issue that would reach down
into the State campaigns and be of
equally vital Importance there. 1t is
an issue on which men could and
would, with good conscience, com
promise. To us it is as clear as the
noon day sun, therefore, that if there
is to be any union of the forces now i'll
revolt against the two old PARTIES
union in fact as we'll as in name-it
must have some one dominant idea,
must be the suppression of the sa'
looms. We are not now speaking sim
ply as a Prohibitionist. We are look
ing at the matter aside entirely from
our own personal views-trying tC
look as mere politician might lool
at it who had no personal preferences
in the matter. The principle itselt
has a backing already of betweer
four and five million voters, to say
nothing of an army of women. 1t ap
peals to all classes and all sections
1t is an unchanging issue, that comes
close to every home. 1t is an admin
istrative as well as legislative issue
and cannot be side-tracked by any
sudden trick of legislation, because i
demands not only law, but the en-
tire administration behind the law.

Then we would assail the tariff
question and we would keep in mind
these things: 1) that, rightly or
wrongly, a large proportion of our
present industrial system has been
built, through no fault of its own,
upon q protection basis (2) that the
tariff as now constructed insures pro-
lection to the manufacturer, but none
to the wage earners whom he employs;
(3) that if the level of labor in this
country is to be kept permanently
higher than i'm the old world, either by
labor organizations or any other
means, some check to the free eompe-
tition of slave and serf labor must be
secured. Then we would lay down
something like the following:
The interests of the Nation demand
that so long as the tariff shall exist, the
adjustment of its details shall be re
moved from the arena of partisan poll
ties and placed in the hands of ;
Inon-partisan commission such ;

Only Just across the way there's an ancient
church tower gray
Old and gloomy. high and lonely to behold.
There are vines about the door. and they trail
across the floor.
While the shattered panes let in the winters
cold.
In the tower there hangs a bell. though it
seems as If a spell
Had been laid upon It's rusty. brazen tongue.
With its hangings rotting down. and with ivy
Lone and silent it remains where first twas
hung.
Many years have passed and gone since its
sweet and silvery tone
Called the villagers TO meet in praise and
prayer
Or gave warning in the night of the hreaend
in his might,
As It rang the loud alarm on the air.
Often, too, has that old bell tolled the solemn
funeral knell
Ger some pilgrim in the churchyard laid to
rest;
Or the joyous wedding bell pealing forth that
all is well
As the new made bride and groom the portals
passed.
And that couple, where are they who we're
once 50 blithe and gay?
Hand in hand along lifes path they slowly
strayed;
In old age they passed away, but their chill
dren's children play
Round the spot where they in childhood TOO
had played.
High above the sleepy town, the church tower
still looks down,
Grave and solemn, on the shifting scene below.
And the tide of human life, with its ceaseless
toll and strife,
Watching as the generations come and go.

We were waiting at the depot in Jack
son, when rough looking man who had
Que shoe cut open on top and limped pain
fully on that foot came into the waiting
room and solicited friendly aid. The ex-
PLANTATION he made was AS follows:
Gentlemen, 1 have received telegram
fronrSanilac to the effect that my sister is
dying. / want to raise money to take me
up there
Look here, mister" replied the first
man he struck, who had sort of cold
hearted look about him, whats the use
in your lying about thingsP Isn't it better
TO tell the straight truth than to indulge
In such improbable yarnsg"
''Sir! am telling the truth" he replied.
'Humphl Got the telegram to show for
it, | supposeS"
II have, STRIP
"Got it right in your pocket, probably?"
"Certainly-here it isr'
And he pulled out a telegram sent from
Sanilac and received at jackson reading
just as he had stated. More than that, the
receiving operator had attested the fact of
its being genuine. The cold hearted man
was taken aback, but after a moment he
rallied and said:
It's a wonder you didn't claim to be an
old soldierp
II am one, sir" was the quiet reply.
"Got the proofs of that, probablygr
81 have, sir. Here is my discharge"
There was no getting around the fact,
and the cold hearted man seemed little
shaky as he continued:
Yes, ! see. Probably got your foot hurt
in the service of your country?"
Eyes, sir A runaway horse attached to

was trying to stop him. Here is an aft
davit to that effect. | suppose you'd call
that in the service of my country, wouldn't
you? 1t was in the seryice.of the govern
ment at least"
But see here" continued the other, I'M
willing to acknowledge defeat, ''this tele-
gram about your sister is week old"
Certainly. | haven't been able TO raise
the money to get there"
She's probably dead by this time"
'She is, Sir, as this other telegram re-
ceived two days ago will inform you"
''rben what's the use of your going?"
ITO make arrangements for the future
care of her three orphan children, sir.
Here's letter duly attested, proving that
she left three who must be looked after"
He pulled out the letter and handed it
over. Everybody was now chuckling over
the fix the cold hearted man was in, and
he had sense enough to take the only
route open ano get out Of it by handing
the man a dollar. He didn't feel right
about it, however, and observed:
Its wonder you haven't a document
proving that you got burned out in the
great Chicago fret"
But | have, sir! Here it is! Knowing
how human nature is, make no asser-
tions which ! cannot back up with sworn
