The uso aud Abuse OF whlskoy.

This subject could be dwelt upon to a
considerable length, and yet much
would remain untold, but all agree that
the use, the proper use OF pure rye
whiskey is an absolute necessity, especi-
ally SO now, when nature insists upon
being stimulated. All regular physici-
ans prescribe rye whiskey, and Justly
claim that Klein's Silver Age and Du-
ouesne Whistles are most reliable.
they do this not only because they have
tried them but because the leading hos
pitfalls use them-fnd them the best
stimulants in the world. Silver Age

His speech was taking one. He point
ed to his empty sleeve and told how he
had lost it in the defense of the flag
which he had close at hand and pointed
to. Then he told of the valor of Colonel
Harris as Il Confederate soldier and said
that it was time the boys who wore the
blue and the gray should shake hands
across the bloody chasm.
The sentiment spread like wildfire.

President Mcdowell, of the Tennessee
State Alliance, has entered suit against
the Nashville American for criminal
libel. Nine CT the ablest lawyers of the
Nashville bar have volunteered to de-
fend The American, which seems to in
dictate that there is a conspiracy to do
everything possible to destroy Brother
McDowell's influence with the farmers
and workingmen Of the state. The
plutocratic press has gone too far in
great many instances in their abuse OF

the Mouthpieces of the Shylocls.
Some time since The Railway Age
published two addresses, one by L. S.
Steadman, and the other by Ex-Governor
Gear. of Iowa, delivered before the Rail-
way Employees club, at Des Moines.
We are not specially interested in what
these gentlemen said. Our task is to
note what The Railway Age says The
editor of The Railway Age is profound
ly interested il the farmer, bemoans his
ignorance and stupidity, his general
want of common sense, the easy way he
is bunkoed, and therefore seeks, with
much ado. 70 persuade the farmer that
he is and has been from the start an
easy victim Of deception: that an ordi-
nary pup. before its eyes are open, knows
quite as much about railroads, politics,
economy and legislation as the average
farmer. and that his condition never
will improve until he listens to the adj
vice given by such gentlemen as Messrs.
Steadman and Gear and drills with the
railway employees clubs designed to
enable farmers to cut their eyeteeth.
The Railway Age editor says:
It appears 20 be a difficult thing to make the
public understand the farmer understand
4 that hostility to the professional demagogue
and granger" politician is not hostility to the
farmer A certain section of the farming COM
munty have for long time suffered them
selves to be hoodwinked and led astray by the
politician of the sockless kind, who has no end
TO serve but his personal interests. They have
believed in his loud mouthed oratory at cleo
ton times and have gained nothing by it: they
have sent him to the state legislature again
and again. where he has found field for moth
ing but the exhibition of his own political cor
ruptness. The sockless politician has proiited
no one. He has earned nothing for the farmer
But he has harassed the railways and injured
the railway employee. He has alarmed capital
and brought discord and distrust into the bust
ness and economic relations of the country.
His efforts have been purely destructive, and
of the injury to the financial welfare which he
has wrought the agricultural interests have
had to bear at least their share. And this is
all that the real farmer has received from the
granger demagogue.
1t was quite unnecessary for the editor
of The Railway Age to be so verbose
His prolixity is Il great waste of space
He goes roundabout way to tell the
farmer he is an egregious ass, the weak.

THE DANGEROUS CLASSES.
How They Are Composed and What
They Threaten in the United States.


They Threaten in the United States.
The two dangerous classes in the
United States today are the men who
buy votes and the men who sell them.
1t is a custom, shameful though it l-ay
be, to buy and sell votes at eleciiol
time. This statement is neither colorel
nor exaggerated.
1t sends u dagger into ones heart TO
even contemplate it.
Laboring men see no light ahead.
1t is all class legislation-in favor CT
the rich against the poor
And then the devil steps in with
twenty-five dollars in hand and says.
''Take this money and cast your vote for
this or that candidate"
More than two-thirds of the people CT
the United States are without home
and a man without home is without
patriotism. What matters it to him
what becomes of his country? Ii his
country affords him no home why should
he love or defend his country? If, in the
bitterness of his heart he says, as did
Philip Nolan, Damn the United States!'
who Shall blame him?
Without home, without property
withouta country without honor, with
out principle. they fall easy victims to
the political panderers who offer them
money for their votes.
1t is, indeed, a dark picture, a horrible
picture.
1t makes one heartsick to think of it,
And the worst is yet to come.
In short time the same men who are
now buying votes will some day seize
the government and put muskets into
the hands of the men whose votes they
are now buying, and at the point of the
bayonet suppress free speech, free press
and even the ballot box.
The few will plumber and rob the peo-
pie, and then with the plumber thus
gained maintain an army to protect
themselves in the possession of their Ill
gotten gains.
England hires Irish soldiers to crush
the people of Russia.
There has been money enough stolen
from the American people within the
last twenty years to arm and equip u
standing army large enough to keep in
subsection the people Of the United
States.
And there are men enough who can be
hired to shoulder muskets" for that
very purpose.
The men who buy votes are the men
who would usurp and overthrow the
government. and the men who sell their
votes are the men who would act as
soldiers.
These two classes constitute the dau-
gerOus classes.
They represent the extremes of So
ciety-the enormously rich and the mon
strously poor, the unprincipled aristo-
crat of wealth and the depraved pauper.

to us. Bravo. 1t fills many moments. too. that
would have been spent in idle dreaming. with
rare pleasure in the requirement of knowledge.
It's purifying influence in making life more real
and earnest. Many have tried for years to ar
range a course of reading for themselves before
they ever heard of the c. L. s. c.. that would be
practical and instructive at the same time;
though they made many attempts they always
found it impossible to pursue the courses of
study they selected. but happily they never gave
up the effort. Our thirst for knowledge should
be great: and we never should be happy unless
we feel that every day we have made some i'm
provement. or acquired some knowledge that
will be of lasting benefit. Those who have had
the opportunity of joining our circle should hail
it with delight and gratitude. and never think of
its founders without thanking them in their in
most hearts for the good it has done. and the
good it promises in the future.

The Revolver Folly.

Under the heading of . An Armed Fool" the
| OregOnidn discusses in a vein of iustfable sar-
casm the case of Methodist minister in Ala
| bama. who shot two men who charged him with
improprieties. After leaving the personalities
| of the case the article goes on to express their
sound sentiments in regard to this SenSeleSS
practice:
"ThOse who habitually carry deadly weapons
upon their persons are officers of the law who
need them to enforce their authority. criminals,
who need their aid in perpetrating Outrages
upon society; DULLES, who require them to give
them the courage nature has denied and fools.

by experience. who think it smart to go armed.
Added to these are such men as this Alabama
parsOn, who have conducted themselves that
they have reason to fear personal violence from
particular individuals. A revolver is a danger

whom he comes in contact. Left at home under
the pillow. on the mantle or in the bureau draw
er, it threatens the lives of those of the house,

life of the pOSSeSSOr. A revolver and a few
drinks of WhiSkey make a dangerous cOmbna-
ton. as well to the holder of the combination as
to all who may be so unfortunate as to be near to
him. 1t is perennial source of danger to others
and fountain of trouble to its owner. For every
person who uses revolver in a good cause or is
protected by it in the enjoyment of his legiti-
mate rights, ninety-nine persons get themselves
into needless trouble with it. No man of honor

There are laws enough against carrying con-
ceaed weapons to stop the practice. were public
opinion to demand their enforcement If the
man who has a revolver in his pocket knew that
the discovery of the fact would bring upon him
the contempt of his associates. he would take
the first opportunity to get rid of it secretly. If
he did not it would be evident that he carried it
for bad purpose. and he should be complained
of to the police. 1t would take but little of this
kind of treatment to cure the disease.
There is another phase to this question
The carrying of concealed weapons by respect
