The Future of Parties.

The following historic and pro-
phetic paragraph appears in Tom
Watson's Peoples Party Paper:
"There can be but two great
parties in this country. The force
bill is settled. The tariff bill sham
battle has ended in smoke, the
bloody shirt has been worn thread
bare and all the rubbish has been
cleared away for settlement of the
financial question. The republican
party is the gold bug party, the
populist party is the only free silver
party, and of necessity the voters
must align themselves with one Or
the other of them. A non-descript
party placed between the two with
platform unintelligible and non
committal will be wagged as a tail
to Que or the other of the parties of
principle. The men who control
the democratic party will in their
turn be controlled by Cleveland s
pie counter, and the whole outfit
will land in the republican camp"
To this condition things must
come at last. They have reached
it even now. This has long ago
been pointed out by the MIDLAND
JOURNAL. 1t is the only conclusion
at which any intelligent observer of
the political drift can arrive. The
gold ring interest of Wall street and
London have long striven to keep
back the inevitable. That inevit-
able is the battle for the American
people to be masters of their own
money. The great bulk of the
present democratic congress was
sent from the south and west to
take up this question. They treach
erously sold out for a mess of "pie"
to Cleveland, who was sent to the
White House by the gold ring for
this purpose. The people are dis
gusted. They have been deceived
and defrauded. Their rights and
liberties have been traded in by
congress like wind wheat and
Watered stocks in the boards of
trade and stock exchanges in the
metropolitan cities. The demo-
cratic party has no ineligible
principles or principle it dares to
proclaim. The republican party
has openly declared in favor of the
Bank of England gold ring, the
peoples party has as emphatically
declared for the free coinage of sill
yer and a straight American finan-
cial system. These are the lines of
battle in the future. If money can
purchase votes for the gold ring it
viii flow like water. Hundreds of
millions are appropriated by the
money trust to be expended in this
contest. Money has always tri
umphed over the people; the kings
and princes of wealth expect it to
win in this battle against American
liberty and manhood. Will it?

The Lake Shore Electric Railway
company has been incorporated, with
capital of $40, 600, 600. The new line
will run from Chicago to Milwaukee.
The Monterey and Mexican Gulf Rail-

Mexican government to extend the road
from Trevino to Sierra Mojada, and
thence to Mazatlan, on the Pacific coast.
All the employees of the Lehigh
Traction company at Hazleton, Pa, are
insured by the company. This is done
in order to protect the men in case of
any injury, or perhaps death, that they
might sustain in an accident.

S. H. Clifford, New CasSel, Wis,

There is a great deal of specula,
tion in the papers Of the so-called
democratic party as to the defeat of
the party. The cause is plain
enough. 1t isn't, or rather wasn't,
a democratic party, if Jefferson and
Jackson were democrats, and their
views on national questions were
democratic.
Wall street was Cleveland's chief
adviser and he attempted to carry
out the policy and measures laid
done by the outgoing administra-
tion in a clumsy way, and here you
are where all imitators and blum
derers land.
All the trusts and monopolies are
opposed to the Peoples party.
That's good sign for the Peoples
party.
Labor runs the bakery and the
landlord gets the cake.

"The Maryland Republicans are

Hungry is the principal part of
the party. Roscoe Conkling said
the two old parties were couple of
organized appetites.

voted it is fair presumption that

No great credit that. They were

a great nerve doctor, famous in
two continents says that "Eyery
woman whose life is an active one
in many directions, should devote
a half hour to an hour of every day
to absolute rest isolated from all.
Her room should be darkened and
orders given that she shall not be
disturbed, when, with closed eyes
and relaxed muscles, she shall lie
PROSTATE, hushing herself to all
busy thoughts and cares, and striy-
ing to attain to a condition of quasi
inaninity. Even 10 minutes so
spent will be a refreshment, and
the busiest life may spare that
much from Its activities, since one
is thus made capable Of longer en-
durance'"
The physician before quoted
thought That the convincing argu-
ment he could advance to recon-
mend his plan of a regular monday
rest was that it is the best way
known to science to brighten young
eyes and retard the dreaded coming
of wrinkles to the middle aged.
In this busy rush of life we all
need TO pause now and then to take
breath. We are too busy planning
for happiness in the future to enjoy
life in the present. AS Sydney
Smith says: eve are, In our search

ed man looking for his hat, while
all the time it is on his head y
We are SO busy getting ready to
live, that life is over before we have
time 10 realize what we have.

LIVE ISSUES.
Cost of Railroad Building.

NUSI vi k<dlLIOdu
The average cost of constructing
a mile of railroad in this country
ranges from $1,000 to $15, 900. In
a recent law suit the Union Pacific
proved that the average cost of
building the Utah Central was
$7,29S.20 1t has been stated upon
the most reliable authority that the
Missouri Pacific road cost less than
$4,000 per mile. Mr.. Palmer in
his book, "The Coming Conflict, "
estimates the total average cost of
all railroads in this country at a
trifie over $4,000 per mile. To
build double or four track road
would cost much less per mile than
the single track-in fact, $4,000
per mile would be a high average
for a double or four track road.
The distance from Boston to Chicago
is, say 1,100 miles or 4 400 miles
for a four track line.
At $4,000 per mile the cost would be SAOOO,OOO
Cost of $50 locomotives at$10,000 100000
800 passenger coaches at $1,000 1,5O0,000
1000 freight cars at $400 each 100000
Total cost of road and rolling stock Sl7,s00.00O
This includes cost for stations,
tools, etc.
COST OF RUNNING A GOVERNMENT
ROAD.
The cost of running this road for
one year would be as follows:
Interest at per cent on Sl7 000,0 000is S14i0,00O
Wages for 142000 section men at 81
day for eight hours work for 800
Ten mi men to a train will give 1,5oO at O0'
81 per day for an eight-hour work
day, 300 days 100000
Cost for fuel, oil, ect. . 100000
Total cost S2O,7SO, 600
The 3 per cent interest will more
than pay for wear, damages, etc.
The income from such a road
would be as follows:
Fifty passenger trains per day, for
ten cars each, would carry 100000
passengers in Il year, and if the rate
$3.50 return, the income for
passengers would be So, 800, 600
The 1000 freight cars would, in 300
days, transport 100000 tons of
freight at 81 per ton 100000
BY running passenger trains on sun
days and holidays there would be
an additional profit to the road of 100000
Total S51, 800, 600
207S0, 900
Net profit S10,720, 600
This government road could
transport passengers at $2.5 dis
tance of L., 100 miles, and freight at
81 per ton for same distance, en-
ploy more than three time as many
men as are now employed, working
them only eight hours per day at
so cents per hour, and yet pay a
net profit of $40, ,720,0 900 every year.
The express and mail business
would add much more than enough
to pay for station agents and the
few other officers.
Nor is this all, just stop and
think of the immense increase in
travel which would no doubt force
an increased number of trains. If
we were to double the number of
trains, we could transport passen-
gers at 81 and freight at 80 cents
ton.
Then again should the govern
ment issue its own money to build
such a road the interest charge of
81 40, 900 would be saved yearly.
Apply these figures to our entire
railroad system of 100000 miles
and you will be astonished at the
result. 1t would give employment
at 81 per day to 1, 100000 men.
Government ownership Of rail
roads means more to the people,
more than you may think. How
would it do boys to think it over a
little.-Peoples Cause, Fresno, Cal.

BEYOND THEIR STRENGTH.
How Women Wreck Themselves
Among Domestic Shoals and
EddieS.

Writing in the Ladies' Home
Journal, Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler
say; A woman should recognize
the fact that she has her limit of
power, just as much as a steam
engine, and to go beyond it is to
strain and injure that most marvel
Gus of all machines-her body
somtimes past repair. Her mission
in life is to make home happy-to
be its sunshine, its comfort and its
conscience, but how can a woman
be just to the children, who are
noisy froms seXuberance of health
and spirits, when every sound
causes her nerves to vibrate pain
fully because they are tense from
OverStraining?
Mamma is "crossn is often the
children'S verdict under these cir
cumstances. When her husband
returns, after the fatigues and an
noyances of his day, what has she
to offer him but the dregs of her
exhaustion? A wife'S influence
largely depends upon trihes, and
few men are insensible to the charm
that lies in ready smiles, beaming
good humor, a cherry manner and
ia sympathetic listening to what
they may have to say.
A woman should never be too
tired to smile.
Brilliant women, good women,
beautiful women have failed where
commonplace ones of amiable dis
position have succeeded in keeping
their husbands love and and enjoy
ing their entire devotion.
Men look for home whose atmos-
phere is restful and cheerful, and
no woman, overtired from what
ever cause, can be its inspiration.
1t should, therefore, be laid down
as a principle that one has no more
right to live beyond ones strength
than beyond ones income.
