LIVE QUESTIONS.

Among the live questions Of the day
are the referendum, better system of
finance, the income tax, the govern
ment ownership Of railroads, abolition
of the banks of issue and the election
of United States Senators and post
masters. No unprejudiced mind can
find fault with any proposition in this
list, except perhaps the government
ownership of railroads. But as this
question is studied the proposition will
commend itself. The public owns and
commands the public roads. 1t is so
particular to do this that no more turn
pike companies are organized. But
what is the difference between a com
mon road and railroad so far as the
public is concerned9 The railroad has
been legally declared to be a public
highway. Then why should the public
not own it9 There is nothing unusual
in the government ownership of public
works Chicago owns it's water plant.
So does every other large city. These
roads networked over the country,
running through farms, homes and
gardens, have been a fertile source of
profit to individuals, and considerable
trouble and expense to the government
in it's efforts to control them. Why
should not this profit be saved to the
peoples The railroad has sand bagged
every industry, and there is no way to
prevent this except through govern
ment ownership. The government
could we'll afford to iucur bonded
debt in order to purchase the roads at
a fair valuation, and it would be long
step toward making agriculture profit
able. AS to the referendum, the people
should have the right to set their ap
proval or disappreval on legislation,
That we need better system of finance
nearly every man in the country except
the banker and money loaner will ad
NIT. That wealth should pay the taxes,
as it must under an income tax system,
is too plain to admit of dispute. That
the government can issue money di-
rect just as easily as to shift it through
banks of issue, is a self-evident fact,
and that the people should be permitted
to elect Senators and postmasters i
simply the right given them by the
very spirit of our institutions. These
are not crank reforms but are com
mended by common sense and justice.

RECORD ON SILVER.

The vote of the lower House in the
Fifty Third Congress on free silver
coinage at 16 to was:
Yeas Republicans IL, Democrats
100, opulists II.
Nays-Republicans ia, Democrats
113, populists, 0
The per cent of the vote was as fol-
lows:
For gold neutrality-suspicious. 81
per cent, Democrats 55 per cent,
Populists 0 per cent.
For free silver coinage at 16 to l.
Republicans per cent, Democrats 45
per cent, Populists 100 per cent.
Honest reader, will you please ask
yourself what party it is that now sup
ports free silver coinage, good prices
and good times, and what parties are
for the single gold standard, five cent
cotton, thirty, cent wheat and the
misery such conditions always entail?

No. Not unless you can show your

worm is taken off and preserved for

the sun at noon day in the platform;
the interests of the banker and of the

are empty as space and meaningless as

might mean that we should re enact

reason to believe it. We are weary of
resolutions that declare ''our ur finch

wind blows the right way" There are
too many notions as to which is the
right way for the wind to blow. When
a political party shoots it bangs away
with a gun that scatters all over
creation, and for the life of us we can
not tell what is aimed at. We demand
that political shooting shall be done
with a rifle, and if the bullet does not
hit the bulls eye it shall not count.
The silver question, the tariff question,
the financial question, the tax question,

all around either of them"
We hardly need inform our esteemed

About sc, 600 cocoanuts were shipped
from Florida to various northern mar
kets during past year. Some twenty
years ago South American ship bound
for New York with cargo of cocoa
nuts, was wrecked on the Florida
coast. Some of the people living near
planted some cocoanuts and they grew
and produced so well that hundreds of
acres of trees are now bearing. 1t is
thought that the markets can all be
supplied from Florida in few years.

A lot of first class hogs is one of the
best motor wheels to be obtained for
the dairy machine. The thinking
farmer will not forget that skimmiIk,
buttermilk and whey are fed most
economically and proftably in connec.
ton with abundance of green food as
clover pasture. If you have not clover
pasture, feed green rye, soWed corn,
oats and peas, weeds and wastes from
the garden and field, ETC., and be sure
to give the hogs in addition to this
combination rations, opportunity for
unlimited exercise. In this way you
will make the finest quality of marbled
pork.

LIVING ON THE ENEMY.

The loss of his pocketbook by George
w. Howard, Vice-President OF the
American Railway Union discoses the
fact that he had in his possession forty
annual passes over railroads in all parts
OF the country and one for free pas
sage in the Pullman car on every line.
1t Is probable that Mr.. Howard re-
CARDS It as in the interest OF the Union
that he should ride free, espeo' ally II he
does not charge the Union for railroad
fare in his journeyings to and fro over
gruous that an officer OF the Union
should be a deadhead on the roads when
the Union severely denounces Labor
Commissioners, legislators, judges and
others for accepting such favors
Especially will many labor men re-
gard II as singular that their repres 1ta-
tive should Indulge In the luxury of free
rides in the Pullman cars, when the
labor organizations are so severe on
the oppressive methods and selfish poll
icy OF the Pullman corporation.
But then the explanation may he that
1t Is fair for n labor champion to get
all he can out OF the railroads and pal
ace-car companies, provided he gets II
for nothing, and thus makes 1t an ex-
pense 10 the corporation. The argr-
ment may be that Labor Commission
ers' judges and legislators are the
friends OF the corporations. while the
union Is their opponent, ana that II is
fair play to live on the enemy.

CARE YOU A SOCIALIST I"

Police Justice John ]. Ryan has dis
covered a new offense under the Penal
Code. Probably no other Tammany Pc.
lice Justice, not even the learned Div.
yer, knows that mans political senti
ments constitute a criminal offense. pro-
vided they happen to be of Soclallstic
tendency. 1t remained for Judge Ryan
to elicit this fact
1t Is possible that the profound jurist's
legal lore extends yet deeper. and that
he holds II to be a crime to profess any
other political faith than that OF Wigwam
Democracy. But he must certainly re-
gard a Socialist as an offender against
the laws.
At least this would seem to be the
case. from the question. Are you a
Socialism" put by him from the bench
to the striking cloakmakers who were
arraigned before him yesterday, appar-
emily for the offense OF having had their
heads broken by policemen.
A Police Justice, when n prisoner is
placed at the bar, sometimes inquiries:
is this man an ex-convict? Is he a
burglar? Is he well-known theft"
But Judge Ryan varied the practice by
asking each man: Are you a Social
ist?" He might just as well have
asked Are you a Republican," Are
you n Populist?" Are you Grace
Democrat?" or Are you a Mugwump2"
The Tammany Judge either has pro-
found learning or marvellous imperti-
nence. He Is either q great jurist or
a great simpleton.

wANTED-A PUSH.

In olden days the small boys squatted
on their sled at the brow of the hill
and In these times the dainty Winter
damsels tucked In snugly on their to-
boggan at the top of the slide. crave
the favor of n "push" from the friend
or casual bystander. Small-boy Hill,
with his companions Lockwood and
Brown, loaded up on the Democratic
sled, wait to-day at the summit Of
hill for a push" from the only man
around who can push hard enough to
give them a real start.
The campaign Is organized the cand-
dates are ready, the hill ~ steep and
slippery, the people are waiting all
along the line TO see the procession
sweep by. All that Is needed is for
somebody to start 1t.
Big, grown-up Brother Cleveland,
watching the eager boys. must under
stand their Impotence. He used to ride
down hill on that same sled himself, and
has ridden on bigger ones since. One
hearty shove from his strong arm Is all
that is necessary. and he knows 1t.
Is he going to give II, or doesn't he
want the New York small-boys to have
any fun this Winter?
