The seflous irilublc RFedicted by

Mckinley law has come to pass
and : even worse than predicted.
An unnatural imitation in certain
lines ofbuslness was the first Fesalt
and to those who look neither at
the past nor the future the condi-
ton was taken rs favorable. The
illusion was soon dispelled, how
eyer, as the bubble of prosperity
burst all too soon. Then came this
long and trying season of depression
and panic which will be ended on

law which has stopped the reve-

increases in the prices of goods and
put all the increase into the pock-

bonds. Fortunately for the Re-
publican party the people hurled
them from power about the time
the panic began TO be felt and the
badly wrecked aud looted govern
ment was placed in Democratic
hands to be nursed back to life and
prosperity. This is tedious and
tiresome task and has been drawn
out by three traitors who slipped
into the Senate under guise of
Democrats, and who have been

action. The party is not discour-

Workingmen Buying Rail-
roads.

Rev. G.. G. McCabe, Secretary OF
that Methodist Missionary Society,
figures out a very plain and seem
ingly easy way in which working
men can get the better Of the rail
way magnates. His scheme is
simplicity itself. Stop drinking,
he says; save the money and buy
up the railroads and own them. 1t
will only make a matter Of $1,000
100000 or so to buy up all the
railroads in the country, according
to Poor's manual Of 1898. as quoted
by McCabe, and the workingmen
of the United States spend about
one. fifteenth Of that amount each
year for beer and hard liquors. 1t
is an easy problem in arithmetic
which McCabe prnpounds TO the
workipgmen Of the United States,
II they drink up each year one
fifteenth or thereabout of the value
of the RAILROADS of the United
States. in fifteen years they drink
up their entire value. McCabe's
figures are S90OO00,0O0 year for
the liquor bill ofthe whole country,
of which the workingmen pay
S5000o,000-a sum that would
count up pretty fast if laid away
each year at savings bank interest.
Mr.. McCabe thinks a good deal of
his scheme. He is sure that sit is
practicable, it is feasible. it can be
done"
Perhaps, but the present owners
of railroad securities need not be
worrying about future investments
for their money just at present, nor
is there any likelihood that the la
Dor organizations will proceed at
once to put the scheme into their
platforms and make adhesion to
its requirements a condition OF
membership. Nor will It BECOME
offhand overwhelmingly popular
with the workingmen themselves,
1t will probably set some to think.
ing, for it is rather startling lot oil
figures that Mr.. McCabe gets TO-
gelher, That men who work fol
their daily bread, and most ot
whom have no capital but their Ia.
Dor, and no income but their wAg
es, should waste money enough in
fifteen years to buy up the rail

when Rife said ~ am going to
shoot you The shooting took
place on Sunday and Moseley died
on Tuesday at A o'clock.
The boys were always the best OF
friends and never before had a
word OF trouble. but such is the
result Of whiskey.
What must have been the feeling
of the father when the news reach
ed him of the shooting, when only
seven months and seven days be-
fore one of his sons had been
killed?
Since our last writing there has
been some change in the weather
II has rained some and crops look
better at present than they have fol
some time. We think it is because
we have a Republican who wants
to die if the Wilson Bill passes boil
houses and the President signs it
