WASHINGTON Letter.

Washington, Mar. A, 1892.

Senator German is credited with hav-
ing originated a new scheme. having
for its object the capture of the Presi-
dency by the democrats. 1t being
already apparent that in a square fight
between the republican and democratic
parties the chances of success are
largely in favor of the republican party.
the democratic bosses have been cad
Ceiling their brains to hatch up some
undetermined method of aiding their
party. Mr.. German has found that
method, or thinks he has. The scheme
is to give the electoral votes of four or
five of the Northwestern States to the
peoples party. which would according
to the calculation made, throw the
election of the President into the House
and Vice President into the Senate.
giving the democrats the President and
the republicans the Vice President
The details OF the scheme arr very
shrewd-this exposure may cause q
change in them, the intention being to
keep the whole thing in the hands of a
few men, sworn to secrecy. in each of
the States selected until election day.
The usual process y selecting demo-
cratic electors is 10 be gone through
with, in order to blind the republicans;
bit on election day the democratic
tickets are to contain only the names of
the electors of the peoples party. This
is a nice little scheme to capture the
votes of republican members of the
Farmers Alliance for the democratic
party. but now that it has become
known it is not probable that many
republicans will be caught.
Three thousand men and women,
having influence, direct and indirect,
with probably one million voters, en-
rolled in the ranks of the various labor
organization of the country, or controll-
ed by the newspapers with which many
of them are or have been connected,
are anxiously waiting to see whether
democratic parsimony is to keep their
lives and health il the danger to which
they are now exposed by refusing to
provide for new Government Printing

men and women are the employees COM

Representatives of more than 800 of
the largest lumber firms in the United
States met here this week to protest
against the passage Of the bill placing
lumber on the free list. A resoluaion
was unanimously adopted reclting that
the lumber industry is the largest single
industry in America, employing more

peculiar interests of the lumber industry

REPORTERS are GENTLEMEN.

Don't tell a newspaper reporter. when
he calls on YOU on business, things
which you do not wish him to print.
He does not call for information for the
fun of it. He is there on business. When
you meet reporter socially. don't say
to him every time you open your month.
This is not for publication.
Ifyou really have information to give,
either give it cheerfullY or frankly. or
refuse with firmness, but don't try to be
clever and attempt any funny busi.
ness. If you give the information
frankly, you will, in 80 cases out of 100,
be accurately reported and respectfully
treated. If you refuse. firmly aud
politely, your retcence will be respect
ed. If you try to outwit the reporter
BY an effort to mislead him, or by direct
Misrepresentation. you are sure to make
a mess of it, and wish that YOU had
been better advised.
Disabuse Your mind Of any foolish
impression that the newspaper reporters
are malignant persons, trying 10 stir up
trouble in the world. They are. as 4
rule, the opposite Of this. ana have as
high an idea as other men Of the relative
advantages Of contentment and strife

MONEY ORDERS INSTEAD OF SAVINGS


MONE1 ORDERS INSTEAD OF SAVINGS
BANKS.
Sometimes money orders as much as
twenty years old are sent into the post
office department to be cashed. Queer
people stow them awayin desks or other
hiding places, leaving them to be dis
covered in the course of time by heirs.
OF course they are invalid after one year
from the date of issue. but duplicates
are always issued and paid upon appli-
cation. Actors, and particularly circus
people, have way of utilizing the
money order system as sort of banking
aud safe deposit concern. While tray
cling about the country. for example,
player will buy money order for 800
on New York, making himself the
payee.
Thus heputs away the sum in a place
where no one else can possibly get it.
Before the year is out he may draw the
money and buy another postal order
with it, and SO on, thus keeping the cash
secure for an indefinite period He can
not be robbed. A circus clown was ar
rested in town out west with $4,000
worth of money order receipts in his
cloths. Had they been stolen from him
he could easily have got duplicates.

A Marvellous Record.

National Secretary Turner, Of the
N. +. A. and l. IT,, has put out an in
teresting and strong letter in which he
gives n short history OF the organi2a-
ton OF the Alliance n description Of
the fight made against it and closes
by saying;
The fight Is still on: The ridichle
and abuse Of an unfriendly partisan
press have done their best work. The
private characters Of our noble officers
have been attacked slandered and Will
fed and in some instances they have
been personally attacked and threat
ened with bodily harm, while two OF
our veteran editors have been mercl-
lessly shot down. And yet the good
work goes on, and encouraging news
comes from every quarter. During
this heated contest our ranks have
multiplied and grown stronger When
traitors and towards have fallen by
the waysde honest brave men have
risen up TO take their places.
I'VE have more than 2. 900 newspa-
pers that are being read by member
ship greater than the population OF tho
United States in 1875, who are doing
valiant work for our cause. Every
thing Is hopeful and encouraging, and
when we take our bearings and COM
pare notes with four years ago 1t seems
to me that every member OF our order
should bow himself In the presence
Of Almighty God and pour out his
soul in Thanksgiving for the success
we have attained and the blessed hope
that lies out before u.s. that ere long
we shall see every vestige OF section
alism and hate forever buried, our
country once moro united in fraternal
love, and every man and woman a
freeman.

TOO MUCH FOR HIS TEETH.

He Should of Known Better; but
Her Smile Was too Much for
Him,
A very good looking drummer he
was, and he had succeeded in making
q great impression upon the table-girl
at Maine hotel. He paid strict at
teMtion to the girl and to his dinner
and his. performance was creditable
and thorough IN both directions. But
he did not eat his sweet corn. Finally
the girl said in her sweetest tone:
"You must have another ear OF corn.
That is cold and not filled out"
"Oh, no" but she was gone.
She returned with a steaming ear OF
corn and then waited expectantly to
see him bury in thesucculent vegetable
his pretty teeth, that he showed
with such charming grace in his smile
He ought to have known better
but in q spirit Of bravado he
responded to the mute appeal in that
waiter-girls eyes and set his teeth in
to the corn. The first mouthful went
all right, the second was y great sue
cess, but the third--we would that
our tale could end here, but it can not.
At the third mouthful, as he darted
a CLEAN OF fond admiration at the
girl, his teeth Loyalty stayed by the
mangled ear Of corn for an instant,
then dropped to the floor with q rat
tie that sounded to his ears like o dis
charge of heavy artillery. Worst Of
all, as he madly scratched for them he
couldn't find his treasure, Finally the
girl recovered them from n neighbor-
ing table, after alady kindly moved her
skirts aside and revealed the truant
teeth. The look that passed between
that girl and the drummer as she
handed him his teeth had something
IN il that wilted the bouquet over
which it assed.-LLewistown Jour

Away with FnnIon.

The smoke had not cleared away
from tho recent battle OF the ballots
until Democratic and Republican pa
pers began to dicuss the possibility Of
fusion between the Peoples party
and the Democrats In this state next
year.
Fusion has been baneiul influence
in this reform movement ever since II
begun. Nothing retarded the growth
OF the Greenback party so much as
fusion, and fusion finally killed that
party rs nm organization. II there
ever was any excuse for fusion-which
we seriously doubt In this reform
movement it certainly has now reached
the point where there can be no
reasonable argument produced in
favor OF any combine whatever with
either Of the old parties, and that
nine tenths OF our people share In
this opinion there Is not a doubt-in
fact all true reiormers will earnestly
oppose anything and everything that
smacks OF fusion.
This is question that should cali
forth now most vigorous denuncia-
ton from our Peoples party papers
and workers in this state in terms un-
lnistakable, so forcibly and emphatic
rs TO leave no doubt as TO the position
of the new party being squarely In the
middle OF the road.
These thoughts are not suggested
by any fears OF a fusion, but with the
view OF averting complications liable
10 arise from tho schemes Of unprin-
clpled and spoils- hunting politicians. =.

A Snake swallows Five Turkeys

The two Shafer brothers, who live
on the east side OF the Usage river,
and some distance below Castle Rock,
had an adventure with a blacksnake
the other day. A dog had chased a
rabbit in hollow log, and one OF the
brothers reached in the hole q little
ways when he was instantly bitten on
the hand. Fearing that snake had
inflicted the wound, the other brother
FASTENED to the house and returned
with q bucket Of fresh milk and an
axe, the former to be used to counter
act the posion and the latter as a
means of investigating the interior OF
the log. After some work the log was
slit open and huge black snake
measuring over nine feet emerged.
The serpent was soon killed, and af-
forwards cut open. His stomach con.
tanned five young turkeys and seven
turkey eggs. The brother who was
bitten experienced no serious results
from the wound.
