TAXING DESPERATE CHANCES.
The Sort of Risks People Run Every Day
without Getting Scared.

The Sort of Risks People Run Every Day
without Getting Scared
Why don't more people die Of pnexrnc
MIA, quick cofisupption ana other lung
troubles1
That is what think every night in
upper Broadway. There you'll see a
score or two of men coming out of su-
perheated theaters between the acts to
stand in unprotected full dress around
the cold and drafty 1obbies or out on
the sidewalk for chat or a smoke.
You'll see them at the Madison Square
garden-square acres of white shirt
front-sitting for hours in an atmos-
phere suggestive of overcoats. They
pour out Of clubhouses and hot restau-
rants at all times Of the night, often in
a dripping perspiration from exercise
and with careless or no provision against
the evils of sudden change Of tempera-
ture. You can meet them on Broad
way with topeoats thrown wide open
and the chest exposed from necktie to
waistband.
Yet 1t is only now and then that we
know Of a man who was out around
town in apparently good health the day
before yesterday who is a corpse today.
There are more than thousand men
taking such desperate risks every night
during the fashionable season in New
York.
II YOU were to tell one of these that
he was running greater risk of sudden
dsath than II he were going into the
heat of an ordinary battle, he would
probably laugh at you. Yet it would
be the solemn truth.
If he were soldier going into action
it would be with blanched face and
trembling knees and silent prayer,
whereas it is now with careless mien
and flippant tongue and spirited devil
try that he dares the awful specter of
death.
If he were confined to his room with
mortal disease he would be surrounded
by his sorrowtng family and anxious
friends, and his WILL would have been
made and duly witnessed. But being
blessed with reasonable health and man
ly strength and ths sublime confidence
of ignorance, he plnnges into the danger
without thought on his part or qualm
of conscience on their part.
Lungs are not lnsds of chilled steel.
Yet it is wonderful what they are daily
and nightly subjected to. aud how much
they will stand--sometimes. You must
often feel that they really are practically
indestrucNble, they are put to such SO.
we're tests and with so little concern.
Pondering upon this, the faces Of
scores of personal friends and acquaint-
ances who fell In the prime of manhood
men Of stalwart frAtne and superb
muscular energy-rise before us in
memory, while the wayis strewn with
physical wrecks Of, the mortally wound

Alphabet Suppers.

"Alphabet suppers" are getting to be
quite craze in some parts of the coun-
try. The young people of church So
cieties arrange for an evening lunch, the
name Of every article of which begins
with the same letter. Each member is
instructed to provide portion of the
feast, and forfeit is levied against de-
linquents. A "B" supper, for instance,
would include bread, beans, butter,
bananas, beef, brick cheese (by an elias
tic construction of the rule), bologna,

one day;
It was waiting in the roundhouse. where the

1t was painting for the journey; 1t WAS coaled

And 1t had hox the fireman was filing full

It appears that locomotives cannot always get
q grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause the
wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach a slippery spot their
tactics they command,
And to get a grip upon the rail they sprinkle
it with sand.
It's about this way with travel along life's

If your load is rather heavy and you're always
sliding back,
So, II a common locomotive you completely
understand,
You'll provide yourself in starting with good
supply of sand.
If your track is steep and hllly and you have
heavy grade,
And If those who've gone before you have the
rails quite slippery made.
II you ever reach the summit of the upper
tabieland,
You'll find you'll have to do it with liberal
use OF sand.
Il you strike some frigid weather and discover
TO your cost
That you're liable to slip on heavy coat Of
fFDst,
Then some prompt, decided action will be
called into demand,
And you'll slip way to the bottom if you
haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on life's

And you'll reach place called Flushtown at

A Mistaken Impression.

That the intuition of women is some
times at fault was amusingly illustrated
by recent incident in Portland. A lady
was conversing with i. gentleman whom
she knew but slightly, ana whom, for some
unaccountable reason, she took to be u
widower. She had tfevar heard it said that
he was. He simply Impressed her in that
wsy. She took it for granted, and asked in.
nocently how long bis wife bad been dead
The involuntary alarm which caused him
to exclaim, Good heavsns, inadaml when
did she def" was no greater than that
which this unexpected sAswer produced in
her. He was stranger thetc, travelling
on business, and hadn't seen or heard from
his wife for some little time.-Bapgor (Me.,

= eLAss rARIFF.

Time and again have glass msnufac-
turers declared that they needed no
protection and all they asked from the
government was a few raw materials
free, but this was not in accord with
the policy Of MCKINLEY who allowed
every protected interest to come in and
help Itself and, in fact, to make out
their own schedules, which they did. A
combination Of manufacturers Of a
special line wanted "prOtection," and
they got II all along the line, and as
much Of It as they wanted. The others,
the majority, did not care for ''protec-
tectiOn;" they were selling their wares
abroad already. inc asked only a free
market and untaxed raw material. But
that was not McKINLEY's policy, so
they had to take unasked for and IN
necessary protection" and continue
paying burdensome taxes on their raw
materials. Consequently, the Ameri.
can people to-day are paying a heavy
tax for the protection Of a particular
interest, to sustain combines In the
eXaction OF heavy profits, and to main
tain, as alleged, a high rate Of wages.
As an exchange in Pittsburg, whore
there are numerous glass manufactures,
puts it, ''when Mr.. EBERHARDr, who
represented the glass workers before
the Committee on Ways and Means, was
asked If the time would aver come
when the glass interest could get along
without these high taxes, he said he
could see 20 prospect OF ever
reaching that period. The infer
is that the tax is to be
eternal and everlasting. This is a
new rendering Of the doctrine of protec-
ton. Glass is one OF the necessities of
life. Every man who is struggling to
provide himself with a home feels it.
1t enhances the cost of building and
OF rents. 1t is not a cheering prospect
that this is to 20 on until the crack 0
doom for the benefit Of a small combi-
The debate on glass will be
one OF interest. The other side from
that presented in committee will be
shown. Something may be said about
the importation Of foreign workmen,
the refusal TO allow American boys to
the trade, and the way certain
glass associations were turned into DO
clubs TO operate for partisan
A great deal remains to be dis
closed on the glass question, and it will
have its day on the floor Of the House
when the glass schedule comes up for
consideration.

SENATOR CAMDEN's SPEECH.

The full text OF Senator CASDEE's
speech in favor OF the repeal Of the sill
yer purchase law will be found on an
other page. Mr.. CAMDEN goes TO the
root Of the currency question and shows
clearly and %coDclusively that a de-
based currency is the direct enemy Of
labor in these days when the great VOL
ume Of business is done through bills
OF exchange, checks, drafts, etc.
The w~age-worker is paid in currency.
He pays for what be buys 10 currency.
The employer, the manufacturer, the
capitalist, the large operator, does not
Ms BUSINESS on tuss uuv, ~
cause It would be impossible. The
basis Of the country's currency is be-
hind the man with the c~heck-book, but
the man whose transactions are neces-
sarilv done with cash and who pays In
currency, has no basis except the solid
value of the currency itself.
Il. other words the man Of thousands
or millions. is safe because his money
IS gold, the standard Of the country's
and the worlds currency. The working
nan. however, who pays up in hard dol
lars has no fixed standard by which 20
image his money. True, his silver dol
lar. though it is worth but half its full
face value will purchase 100 cents
worth in the United States but
the men IN the none centers'
who hold the money and deal In
money have two dollars for every one In
the workingman's pocket.
Senator CAMDEN puts the case plainly
and s%uccinctly. The first thing to do
toward placing the cOuutry's currency
on a sound and level basis is to repeal
the law that is responsible for the pres
n conditIon-the Sherman act
though the debasement Of the silver
dollar dates back TO that other Sner-
man act Of 1873 when silver was de-
mopetized as a money metal.

Exposing West VirgInia's Resources.
ns.Aol T,l.oram IN thS Reofster.


WESTON, W. VA, October 3.-The
wonderful hidden wealth of our little
Mountain State is being constantly
brought to light. Mr.. Thos. Bince,
the we'll known Southern writer and
~geologist. who is now engaged in inves-
tigating the resources OF the central
part Of the State, has made a most i'm
portant discovery Immediately on the
line Of the West Virginia and Pitts
burg Railroad. II is a large vein Of
rare AMI peculiarly valuable marble
taken from a seam lying twenty-five
feet below the surface, which averages
four feet in thickness, running
north and south, dipping south at
an angle of two to three degrees 20 the
100 feet. 1t has been analysed and ex-
amlned by Mr.. Charles o. Miles, a pro-
fessional marble worker from Ohio.
The analysis is as follows: Carbon Of
lime, 81 $40; calcerous limestone, 2-l0;
silica, 9; total, 100. In speaking Of
the marble, Mr.. Miles says: at is q
marble of close grain and texture, ee-
sembling the Italian, more than Ameri-
can marbles. 1t has the same, or about
the same odor as blue Italian. which Is
peculiarly striking, as no other marble
possesses this feature, the odor being OF
a fossil nature.

SR:-It may be, and doubtless is

''pOwers that be-" But since the Book
says the things that are weak have
been chosen TO COnfound the things
that are mighty, it may be we'll to re-
spect the will Of the people. We elect
ed a Congress at the last general cleo
ton, upon a well defined platform, and
with a specified work 10 do-and we eX-
pect the will and wish Of the people to
corEIe aud H" aiBFeR2Ss9 IL Coy Mac
barons do kick. This was the mandate
We are told that this is foolish; your
eFusion will never be read well; the
votes at next election will be read, and
as history repeats itself, we would re-
spect the voice OF the people.
The people must have relief. Iarlu
barons can no longer expect projections
for the people have elected otherwise.
we care not whether the coal and
the other individual interests OF west
Virginia be protected. What the people
want is that all be protected alike; we
want no class legislation.
The sooner u representatives learn
70 reDresent the will Of their coustitu-
epts the better for them, for the express
sion of the people at our last national
election will certainly indicate the wish
of the vast majority. If the will of the
the people is not respected the people
will no longer respect the pledges OF the
marty. Individual interest must be sac
ri6ced, as our people have learned that
the tariff is ajax, and that while our
coal NAV be protected, the fires OF the
w~orklngmen must pay the increase. l
wish TO quote one instance a
coal field was sold here a
wear or two ago, al prices
ranging from IS to S35 per acre. An
acre was reserved by one party and was
afterward sold for 500. From that
acre $1,000 will be realized TO be paid
for bv the consumer, and aid consumer
has no protection whatever. The peo-
ME are beginning "a understand the
facts. and the sooner the politicians

all. But why waste our time? They
will not even read this, and il they do,
thew will say we are not in the ring.
The people are sovereign In this eoun-
I try vet, and they are learning to think

favors, but we want justice, and II our
I representatives do not use the Power as

/ from other sources. Our people pay tC
much educational. State, local. Leave

KIoKER. AND OKEEs

Those Democrats who met at Romney
the other day and passed resolutions
against the passage Of the repeal bill
have no right to complain Of the ''kick-
ers" who opposed the passage Of the
resolutions and offered a substitute.
The .,kicksrs" were simply kicking
against a meeting Of Democrats which
VA itself kicking against the policy OF
she party.
The majority Of the ROmney meeting
have no ground for complaint Their
own action is intended to hinder the
legislation which the great majority Of
,bs Democratic parry and Of the people
Of all parties, have imperatively de-
mapded through the press and their
rsDreseptatives in Congress. The
minority Of the Romney meeting voted
70 phold the policy Of both the State
and national Democracy, while the ma
toritv voted against that POlicy-the
policy OF their party, as endorsed by
every Representative and Senator from
West Virginia.
In other words, the object Of the
Rompey meeting was to defeat the oft
EXPRESSED will Of the peOp!e-and that
"a not Democracy, and is calculated only
