she will not take their arm. They make
their gateways triumphal arches; she

failure of those who have had large ac-

And then you must take into consid-
Grafton that the vast majority of those
who make the dominant idea of life

ence. 1t is estimated that only about
two out of hundred business men have
anything worthy the name of success.
A man who spends his life with the one
dominant idea of financial accumulation
spends life not worth living.
So the idea of worldly approval If
that be dominant in a mans life, he is
miserable. The two most unfortunate

the two men nominated for the presi

up, gallon above gallon, hogshead above
hogshead, and about autumn these two
reservoirs will be trimming full, and
a hose will be attached to each one,

nees, and they will have to stand it and
take the abuse, and the falsehoOd, and
the caricature, and the anathema, and
the caterwauling, and the filth, and they
will be rolled in it and rolled over and

they will be barked at by all the hounds
of political parties from ocean to ocean,
And yet there are hundred men to-
day struggling for that privilege, and
there are thousands of men who are
helping them in the struggle. Now,
that is not life worth living. You can
get slandered and abused cheaper than

not be so ambitious to have whole res

FORTY.sIx CATTLE IN A CAR.
Must he . Lie.

The Daily Drover's Telegram of
the l 18th inst. contains the following:
1t is a common occurrence for a
commission firm to make out 20 to
to 80 sale bills to car of stock, but
there was shipment here yesterday
that for novelty takes the pudding.
A large number of Alliance members
in Kansas chartered a car, and there
being 80 many owners, each one had
to mark his stock so that it could be
identified when sold on this market.
This is the way the contents of the
car were marked One bull, rope on
neck ; one bull, rope on horns two
cows, rope on neck six cattle with
single binding wire with tin tag
around neck =; eight with no marks
five with three new ropes around
neck; one bull with four ropes
around neck; two with two wires
around neck i; one with three wives
around neck two with one strip of
muslin around neck one with
barbed wire around neck two with
wire and one rope around neck :;
three with heavy wire around neck,
with tin tag, and eleven with strip
of muslin around horns.
Evidently, those Alliance men
thought the commission men could
not read, so they kindly marked the
cattle 80 the commission men could
distinguish them apart.

The Suffrage Amendment.

In the papers last week appeared
a letter from Maj. l. o. Pickering,
Prohibition candidate for governor,
in which he said that even il the
proposition should carry by 100000
majority, it would be declared un.
constitutional, owing to a clerical
error. Since the appearance Of
Mai. chickering's letter in print, 9TH
err letters have appeared, written by
some of the best lawyers of the
state, in which Maj. chickering's
fears are proven groundless. So, let
every believer in justice to woman
get to work and help roll up an
overwhelming majority in favor OF
the amendment.

A Coed Thing.

seen lately is the Eureka Fence Ma
chine, which is on exhibition near

this machine, for with it fence can
be made much cheaper and better

is, don't build any more fence until
YOU see the Eureka machine, and
buy no other machine than the Eu-

Speaking OF the case in which
Anderson county sued the banks Tor
certain taxes due the county from
the banks, which case was taken
before the supreme court, President
Scott Elliott, OF the Anderson Coun-
ty National, informs the writer that
his bank waltzed up and paid it's
share without grumbling. He says
he has no fear that there will be any
injustice done the banks; that there
is no doubt the banks will be accord
ed all the rights they are entitled
to furthermore, that his bank has
plenty of money. and is abundantly
able to pay it's taxes. He says it is
poor policy to carry every dispute
into the courts, thus adding expense
that must be borne by both the peo-
pie and the banks. By this action.
the Anderson County National has
made many friends for itself.

NO POSTAL POLITICS.
Mr.. Bisscll Says the Post Office is q.
business Institution.

Postmaster General Bissell has addressed
circular letter to all free delivery post
offices in the country relative to forced
campaign contributions He cites two sec
tions OF the civil service law which pro-
vide that no federal employe shall solicit or
receive money for political purposes; also
that no officer shall discharge, promote or
degrade, or in any manner change the Off
cial rank or compensation of any other
officer or employe, or promise or threaten
SO to do, for giving or Withholding or neg
lecting to make any contribution of money
or other valuable thing for any political
purpose. Gen. Bissell then adds:
The foregoing provisions apply to your
ONCE, IL being a free delivery post office
and must be strictly complied with Ii
also must be clearly understood that no
clerk, carrier other emplcye of your
office Will be jeopardized in his position for
"A refusal to comply with a request for a
political contribution. Upon receipt Of this
letter you viii prepare Il number of copies
thereof and post them conspicuously in
each division of your office"
The Postmaster General speaking of this
order, said IL was compliance with the
law and he intended to have it enforced in
all offices in the department THE Post
Office Department" he said, lis a business
not a political institution. It has been my
endeavor to conduct II on business prinri-
pies. so as to give the people the best nos
