In a few weeks, if not already,

the towns will be, as they have been
for many years past, furnished with
flax seed to loan TO farmers on terms
altogether advantageous to the deal
or. Just at this time, these dealers
manifest great interest in the poor
farmers. They will loan them seed
to be returned five or six pecks for
four, secured by an iron-clad con
tract which binds the farmer to de-

given time, twenty cents, or some
other number Of cents, below the St.

former years, the dealers see that

expenses are taken from the crep,

in this, and refuse to sign a contract

then the contract to be void. You

tho risks are nearly mutual, but the

A preacher catches on thus: A
healthful religious condition, as well
as a beautiful social canditiOn, de-
mands that the rich and poor should
meet together. To separate them in
church is fatal to the best spiritual
interests of both. We will have to
fight our way back to the simplicity
and earnestness and faith of the early
church. Chicago Express.
A goodly number of preachers
"catch on'' further than this, and
they are the only ones who are do
ing their Masters work. They have
caught on" that the present sickly
religious condition is a result of
having too much RELIGION, and not
enough christianity. A great many

THE Democrats in this state have
never defeated anybody but them
selves. For seven years they have
been in the market to the highest
bidder. As a matter Of fact, there
is no such thing as Democratic
party. 1t is an inherent aggrega-
ton Of vice. crime and degradation
of every community where it lives.
1t is broken down. Its constitution
has been injured by early indiscre-
tions. 1t needs thorough course

the day of deIiverance from the pres
ent sickly religious condition" far
removed just as lond as divines pay
more attention to the rich than the
poor Of their congregation; just so
long as the pastor prays Justify on
Sabbath for the good Lord to uplift
the downtrodden, to relieve the OPP
pressed and distressed--to comfort
the fatherless and the widow, and
then go out and mingle with the
politically low and base and vile,

votes in the hall Of Legislation, as
sisted in the passage of laws that

obeisance to the rich and by their

Thugs and Militia.

So rapidly are momentous events
transporting that but few persons are
able to keep pace with them. The
bitterly-expressed feeling Of indig-
nation over the cowardly, cold
blooded slaughter, and otherwise
brutal treatment, of the striking
miners and their families at Scot
dale and other places, by hired
PinkertOn murderers, by private
parties, has not yet thoroughly
awakened the people to the real
danger that menaces the peace and
well.being of the people. Like the
calm after the storm, the stiffness
after the battle, the people have re-
turned sullenly to their daily tasks,
apparently torgetful Of the brutal
slaughter Of so many for no other
reason than that they demanded a
fair compensation for their work;
but all this time the patrons Of
those private murderers have not
been idle. They have gone to work
in the legislatures Of the states to
secure the organization OF an army
to be called upon to do the deeds Of
blood. And they are not making
gala day soldiers of them, either.
Men who are cruel enough to hire
organized assassins to shoot down
the helpless will not fail to have
this new army thoroughly equipped
in every way for war. The people
blindly elect and re-elect the men to
make laws, bind burdens upon them
in the maintenance Of practical
standing army in time of peace.
The plutocratic press fails to give
the particulare Of how this new
standing army is growing, and how
it is being drilled to execute the
purpose of it's organization. If the
people get such information they
must look elsewhere for it. The
New Nation, Edward Bellamy's pa
per, sounds the alarm. This new
army is not only organized, but it is
being taught marching and counter
marching, and loading and firing
in the prescribed limits of the
streets of city. WHAT does all
this mean? Is there any need for
such knowledge? Will there be
any such need? The Indians and
the majority Of the outlaws are on
the frontier. This doughty army
will not be sent to fields where steel
will meet steel. 1t would be use
less there. The sole purpose Of its
being is to overawe, keep in sub
lection, and slaughter, if need be,
those who, driven to desperation
through legal robbery, use the paw
ing bricks of the city to down their
oppressOrs. Boston, where stands
the cradle of liberty, has one or
more such companies. Boston, in

defend us against foreign foes, and,
in case of war, nucleus for an
army, but now it's chief business is
to support the rich in their efforts
to rob the poor.
Street firing drill in Boston in
time of peace should arouse us to
the real purpose Of those response
ble for it. The German emperor
recently told the young men of his
army they had sworn fealty, and in
discharge Of their duty as soldiers,
if he demanded, they had to shoot
down their brothers and fathers.
This one phase of the problem Of
the rich and poor, and the street
firing drill in the streets Of Boston,
is another. If the people are wise,
they will suppress it in infancy.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed when
his works were the vogue, Eugene Sue
posed much more MS man of fashion
than man of letters. After his dinner
at the Cafe de Paris he would gravely
stand on the steps smoking his cigar and
listening to the conversation with an air
of superiority without attempting to
take part in it. His mind was supposed
to be far away, devising schemes for the
social and moral improvement of his
fellow creatures. These philanthropic
musings did not prevent him from pay
ing great deal of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance, for
even in those days of beaus, bucks and
dandics, of Counts dOrsay and others,
men could hot help thinking Eugene
Sue overdressed.
He rarely appeared without spurs to
his boots, and he would no more have
done without new pair of white kid
gloves every evening than without his
Inner. Other men, like Nestor de
Roqueplan. Alfred de Musset and Major
Fraser, did not mind having their gloves
cleaned, though the process was not so
perfect asst is now. Eugene she averred
that the smell of cleaned gloves made
him ill. The unhappy man finally fell
into poverty, was quietly cashiered from
mis- fashionable clubs and died in OBJ,
scurity.-Chicago Post.

There are a great many interesting
facts and figures connected with post

when countryman is tired of walking
or driving several miles for his mail and
concludes liis tie government should
bring il nearer, he should state that fuct
to the first assistant postmaster general,
whose clerks will furnish him with in
structions and blank petition for the
neighbors TO sign. If he wants the new
Office bad enough to make the govern
mont think it necessity, he will doubt
less get it.
AT the same time he will be told that
