The Appeal treats the public to a
homily on "Extravagance" the point
of which is to cram men who read
and allow others to think for them,
with the sophistry that the result of
the present money famine is "extrav.
agance.' That paper, with all the
gold ring platitudes that has ever
been injected into it, never made
banker, more groundless assumption.
Everybody with eyes and ears knows
that "extravagance" has been out of
the question with almost everybody,
unless it is the millionaire crowd, for
years, and at no time, even in pros
porous times, is the great industrial
mass extravagant. 1t is poverty and
not extravaganza that afflicts the
people, and it is nothing short of
an insult to tell them they are suf-
ferers from "extravagance."

Deserving Praise.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years We have been selling DR..
Kings new life pills. Bucklen's arnica
saive and Electric Bitters, and have
never handled remedies that sell as
we'll, or that have given such universal
satisfaction. We do not hesitate to
guarantee them every time, and we
stand ready to refund the purchase

their use. These remedies have won
their great popularity purely on their
merits. il. R. Kirk druggist.

Our Fourth Page.

We invite careful perusal of the
selected articles published on our
fourth page. GA look at the Field'
from the National Watchman gives
most comprehensive birds eye view
of the present condition of national
affairs. 1t is the great battle field on
which the forces of Mammom are
concentrating in all their strength as
never before in the worlds history
to battle for complete supremacy
over the liberties of the people All
their powers are concentrating on
this field. The hosts of Mammom
are supported from every reserve in
Europe they can spare. If they can
gain victory in this country where
the people have been given the in
estlmahle privilege of a free ballot,
they believe they can consolidate
the empire of wealth throughout the
world, and erect power whose for
midabie strength and colossal
grandeur will eclipse anything which
arms ever achieved. The enslaying
invisible, silent power of concentrat.
ed money, cannot easily be compre-
hended. Its noisless step and unseen
band are all the more dangerous to
people who are used to noise and
developments of physical forces.
Better the people of this nation were
chained to the chariot of a milit ary
despot than be cast suppinely under
tue vampire power of concentrated
wealth aud compelled to feed it's in
satlabie greed. The doom of sisyphus
IS the fate of such a people.

AN ERA OF TRANQUILITY.
Alexander Dumas Belief Concerning the
Martins Near Destiny.

Alexander Dumas Belief Concerning the
EartI1s Near Destiny.
A long and highly interesting letter
from NJ. Alexander Dumas appears in
a Paris contemporary. 1t is in reply
to q request for an expression of opin-
ion on the part of the well-known lit
terateur on the new and at present ILL
defined movements in the great CEN
ters of learning among the rising gem
Grafton on the subject of mysticism, -
and on the controversy as to whether
or not this movement is based on re-
ligious tendency. NJ. Dumas sums up
his opinion in the following interest
ing profession of faith:
''The power, whatever it may be,
that created the world, which 1 can
not believe created itself, having up to
now retained, while using us as in
struments, the privilege of knowing
why it made us and what it does with
us, this power appearing more and
more determined to keep it's secret, 1
believe, if / may be allowed to speak
freely, that humanity is beginning to
cease its efforts to penetrate this
eternal mystery. 1t has tried reli-
gions, which have proved nothing
since they are all different; it has con-
suited philosophers, who were equally
unsuccessful, since they were contra
dictory. Humanity is now going to
endeavor to overcome the difficulty
alone by the simple use of its instinct
and common sense, and, as it has been
placed on earth without knowing why
or how, it is about to try to be as hap
Ply as possible with the means furnished
by the earth itself"
The eminent academician foresees
in the not very remote future an era
when the useless search after the
eternally hidden having ceased people
will agree to live at peace with one an
other. M. Dumas, who detects this
tendency even in facts which appear
to be most directly opposed to it, con-
cludes:
These ornaments of all nations,
these continual menaces, this resump-
ton of race oppression, are evil signs,
but not signs of bad augury They
are the last commissions of what is go.
ing to disappear. The social body re-
sembles the human body, the malady
being only a violent effort of the Or
ganisp to throw off morbid and nox-
ious element Those millions of armed
men who are drilling every day in view
of war of general determination have
no hatred toward those they may be
called upon to fight, and none of their
leaders dare declare war An agree
ment is inevitable within a given time,
which will be shorter than we suppose.
| do not know whether it is because I
am not much longer for this life, and
that the light from over the horizon
already affects my vision, but do be-
lieve that our world is about to wit
ness the realization of the words:
Love one another without inquiring
whether it was a man or god who ut.
tered them"

That made our house look gay and bright;
Her name is on the marble stone.
And seem left almost alone.

Kind friends are gath'red round us here
To celebrate the present year.
My friends have fallen one by one;

The tombstones stand in lengthen' d rows,

An early friend comes to my mind;
A picture hangs on mem rvs walls;
1t tells of early happy days.
When we enjoy'd our childish plays.
The human dust that lies conceard
Beneath this monumental field

Amid the sunshine and the storm,
Now silent till the last great day,
Shall call them from their bed of clay;
For that great day let us prepare,
To rest in peace forever there.
