To Arbitrary Strikers.

The greatest mistake any body of
arbitrary strikers can make is to sup
pose, as their leader Debs declares,
that ninety per cent. of the American
people are in sympathy with them or
with any arbitrary act of anybody.
Law and order is the first considera-
tion of the American citizen who is
worthy of his country and the shelter
ing care OF the flag he honors. An
archy is not yet characteristic of
America, thank God. If the money
power cannot be reached and be kept
in obeyance through the help of God
and the secret ballot, it surely cannot
be done with the help of the devil and
a few scattering bullets and bombs In
the hands of the drunken and reckless
foreigner. Against all this the patriot
must heartily protest if he would pre-
serve the best and most considerate
Government on earth to the poor
man. The Presidential oath compels
the President to protect the personal
property of rich and poor alike, and
this public sentiment also demands OF
him. AS to the right of an employee
to strike against an employer no one
doubts II ; but to arbitrarily stand in
his doorway armed against all corners,
threatening both his life and property
in case he presumes 10 continue bust
ness, is quite another thing. 1t don't
take a very great knowledge of law or
equity to observe the falsity and reck-
lessness of such an attitude on the
part of the striker. If carried to his
own property on personal belongings
he could better observe its gross in
justice, no doubt.
This much we must say while in
hearty sympathy with those who actu-
ally labor for a living, and also in
hearty sympathy with any and all le-
gitimate and fair means tending to
make capital remember that. "the la
borer is worthy of his hire" The la.
borer's hands being frequently the
source Of the rich mans wealth, they
should earn for him not only enough
TO live, but also liberal share of the
protected dividends But whether cap
ital of its own voltion will be liberal
and just or not, no laborer or artisan
can afford to consent to anything
leading the more reckless to unlawless
acts, such as murder or arson, from a
spirit of revenge, The Almighty has
has hitherto always liberated the en-
slaved and there is no doubt that He
is still able and willing to confound the
mighty, the naughty, or the really op-
pressive. The battle of the poor against
the rich, when conducted arbitrarily
and without the fear of God or man,
is invariably disastrous and Intellectual. /.
For one we have no sympathy with
arbitrary acts or actors.

Understand Your Agreements.

Many Of the disputes which arise
between buyer and seller are due to
the fact that in making a contract
the terms are not clearly understood.
In so common a matter as the buying
and selling Of goods it is necessary
that all points relative to the trans
action should be definitely stated.
Some houses state distinctly on their
bill heads the terms on which sales
are made, so that the buyer is COM
PEELED to recognize the terms
There are many other contracts
which come up in the course Of bust
ness which need a clearer understand
ing than the act Of buying goods. 1t
is important that both parties should
thoroughly understand the transac-
tion. There are publications devoted
to contracts in which forms are given,
but many of these legal forms seem
better devoted to obscuring than
clearing up matters. In all transac-
tions it is necessary to come to a
point and have that point clearly I'M
derstood. Long arguments are not
necessary, and the whole tendency of
modern trade is to put things on a
basis of brevity 1t is advisable to
make a written memorandum Of
agreements, for it will always lie in
evidence and save many future dis
mites.

price. You will receive a polite an
swer, and then, If you happen to have
credit at the particular store and you
ak to have the article you covet
charged, you will be politely told that
the article, whatever it Is, whether
half-pound Of sugar or tea, will be
tuppence or thrlppence more for
booking" The first named price is
the cash price, since the presumption
always obtains that when prices are
asked the transaction is to be a cash
transaction. And what is true in
England is for the most part true on
the continent Of Europe. If books
must be kept, merchants and shop
keepers entertain a pet theory that
the people for whom the books
are kept should be made to pay the
cost of the same. Merchants of the
the city can tell Of repeatedly receiv-
ing bills from German houses and al
ways finding even the cost of postage
on the bill charged in the account,
Throughout Europe the eminently
equitable plan obtains Of encourag.
ing cash business by giving the cash
customer an advantage over the one
who pays his bills but once in a
month or once in six months, or some
times not at all. Here in free Amer
lea in retail establishments both cash
customers and debt customers are
placed on nearly the same footing,
only that the cash customer pays a
trihe more for his necessities than he
ought to in order to make up the
losses arising from bad accounts. -

The Russian Thistle.

Strenuous efforts have been made
in Congress by members from the
Dakota region to get an immense ap'
preparation to aid in eradicating the
Russian thistle. Blood Curdling
yarns have been told of the frightful
damage it is doing all over the
Northwest, and from the hair-lifting
narratives of the Dakota Congress-
men, the average citizen might easily
assume that the Russian thistle is in
finitely multitudinous, and dread it
accordingly. Perhaps, however, we
may be able to bury our conviction
that it is, under the hope that it is
not, IL we take note Of what Mr.. j. $.
Wilson, of Badger, South Dakota,
says on the subject Mr.. Wilson,
writing to an Eastern journal, said:
al have had eight years experience
with the Russian thistle, and can say
that on my farm it has not caused as
much damage as the common bull
thistle, also a native Of this region.
With due respect for the opinion Of
legislators who are endeavoring to
secure additional aid in suppressing
this pest, think that appropriations
for that purpose are entirely un-
necessary"

between First and Second streets,

How Rogucs Divide.

A band OF professional forgers, says
Detective Robert A. Einkerton, before
starting out always agree. on bas of
division OF all moneys obtained on their
forgery paper This division might
be about as follows: For presenter
where the amount to be drawn does
not exceed 5000. Is to % per cent;
but where the amount to be drawn is
from So, 600 to $4,000 and upwards, the
presenter" eceiyes from IS to 45 per
cent The price is raised as the risk
increa es, and it is generally consid-
cred a greater risk to attempt to rass
a check or draft of large denomina-
tion than a smaller one. The middle
man gets from ID to . per cent. His
work is more and his responsibility is
greater but the risk is less. There are
plenty of middlemen to be had, but the
"presenter5' are scarce. The shadow, ]"
when one accompanies the band is
sometimes paid a salary by the middle
man and his expenses, but at other
times he is allowed a small percentage,
not to exceed per cent, and his eX-
penses, as with ordinary care his risk
is very slight. The hacker and forger
get the balance, which usually amounts
to from so to TO per cent The expenses
that have been advanced the men who
go out on the rca are usually deducted
at the final division.

the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and feverS
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ten to him by Lincoln on the day Of
his first Inauguration, March 4, 1861.
Eisenhower, who was close friend
of Lincoln, had called to see him that
morning, and admittance had keen
refused him. The President, hearing
of it, in spite of his many cares, took
time to pen a note Of apology, telling
his friend not to think he was put
ting on airs" because he was "in the
White House." and asking him to
call again and he would see that he
was admitted. DanenhOwer, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record, was
the first to announce to Lincoln the
decision of the National Convention
Committee of Conference to recon-
mend Lincoln to the National Con-
vention. Lincoln's lopG of surprise,
he said, was genuine. Ee laughed a
deep inward ripple, and, dropping
his hands and removing his legs from
a table before which he was seated,
he arose and paced the room, saying:
"Why, Danenhower, this shows how

deucy but Harry Clay. Now you are
