THE BLIGHT OF M.kiNLgYlsM.


The Extortionate Tribute Levied the
Country by the Republicans
In his recent speech on the tariff bill
Senator Voorhees, admirably presented
the reasons why the country should
be freed from the crushing burden of
McKinleyism- So convincing were his
arguments for the necessity of radical
reform and so scathing his denuncia-
ton of the system which brought the
country to the verge of ruin that there
was added humiliation in his admis-
sion that the measure reported by the
committee was not to his liking Con-
cessions had been made to e powerful
and INSCRIPTIONS opposition in order
to secure passage of the bill Those
men had their way whom the eloquent
senator pictures as striding the corr1-
doris of the capitol issuing their edicts
in the tones of dictators for or against
the enactment of pending measures in
the halls of congress.
1t was q most significant admission
of the senator that those men who
own and represent these wooden in
terests do not hesitate to declare on
what terms bill vitality affecting
seventy million of people will be per
mitted to become law and in default
to themselves they will insure its de-
feat" 1t is conceded that the bill does
not meet the popular demand which 1t
aims to appease. 1t is step in the
right direction, but a much shorter and
more disappointing step than the peo-
pie called for in the exercise Of their
sovereign right
But let there be no misrepresentation
al to where the responsibility for this
depiorable state of affairs belongs 1t
rests with that arrogant and grasping
power which has been protected in
the accumulation of a strength which
dares to essay control of national 1egis-
lation It was dominant and unques-
toned in the latter days of republican
supremacy. It owned legislators and
dictated their line OF policy. 1t was as
powerful in political as in financial af-
fairs 1t was 4 plutocracy representing
but an insignificant fraction in the
number of our population, yet it was
in absolute control of our national at
fairs The repu blican party served 1t
and the entire country paid extortion-
ate tribute.
1t is this element which has asserted
itself in the senate and forced the sub
mission of an unacceptable tariff bill.
1t has triumphed for the time but has
called attention to an influence that
must be suppressed before the rule OF
the people can be assured. In this
view of the case the present loss and
| humiliation of the country may in the
end be its gain. 1t is made palmer than
ever before to the average citizen that
his wishes count as nothing against
those who are rapidly absorbing the
| wealth as well as the power of the ma
ton. Senator Voorhees, has pointed out
the evils for which they are response

FOOD FOR sTHE SICK.
Suggestions as to Its Proper Cooking and
Serving.

Suggestions as to Its Proper Cooking ana
Serving.
In preparing food for the sick-roofn
it should be our constant aim to choose
dishes and viands which will prove ir-
resistibly tempting to the patient
OF course it is true in nearly every
case that the digestive organs of a sick
person are in an exceptionally sensitive
condition; and it is often only through
careful experiment and patient nurs-
ing that we are enabled to select foods
which will do the work required; but
there are a few rules which can be
laid down as universally binding.
First, it is of prime Importance that
the object of our efforts should remain
in absolute ignorance of what is being
prepared until it is set before him.
Hardly anything is more likely to rob
him of the ability to enjoy a meal than
the knowledge beforehand of what it is
to consist; while, on the other hand, the
surprise of an unexpected dish tempt
ingly arrayed frequently proves of great
service in quiclening sluggish appe-
tite-
Great care should also be taken to
have whatever we present to the pa
tient just what it pretends to be- For
instance, if he is to have an iced
remain so for some little time. II hot
things are seasonabl let them be
heated to just such degree as can be
comfortably borne. To none are luke
warm preparations more IlistastefaI
than to the sick
Still another simple manner in which
we successfully tempt the appetite OF
our patient Is by taking care that his
food shall be constantly varied. Even
if we are limited by the physician as To
the nature of the food to be- given
there are still many ways observing
up the same articles, so that with =
little ingenuity we may avoid the
monotony of having the same dishs
over and over again
Finally. what is brought to the pa
tient should be in dainty bits rather
than in bulky form. and should be inn
mediately removed when he is satisfied
1t is not necessary to recount here
the innumerable dishes which can be
brought forward to relieve the moaOe-
ony of the sick room. since any good
cook book will give aid if our inventive
faculties are at fault-Youth's Com

Gov. Mckinley doesn't-N. Y. World
When Gen. Harrison says he does
not intend to become a presidential
candidate in 1876 he winks with the
other eye.-Washington Times Qnd- }.
Harrison is not big enough to
stand a two years open campaign for
the nomination, but still hunt may

admirably illustrated in the selection
of Mckinley to advocate national bank
ruptcy as a republican uccess--Chi-

Again Gen. Harrison denies that
he is a candidate for the presidency.
Even the incredulous will begin to
realize that he is in the running and in
to stay.-Detroit Free Press

''Close the blinds; shut the windows;

tried not to escape. Her compliance
e1nboldened me; spoke out, not only
as wished, but as thought she would
have me speak.

''Indeed.' he said. with something
almost like q sneer. Perhaps I ought
not to be surprised at this, but take
little heed of what passes around me.
Cory, how is it with you? Speak the
truth to me, as You always have. Is
this merely an idle fancy-or do you
love him?''
Il do love him. She raised her

He heard me: he heard her; and his
harshness disappeared. He crossed
his arms upon his breast, he bowed his
head upon them; great signs burst from
him as he rocked himself to and fro.

Reilly Bill for Settling the Matter Reported
to the House Committee.
WASHINGTON. May 1S-The plan for
settling the Indebtedness to the gov
eminent for the Pacific railroads, to
which the house committee on Pacific
railroads probably will commit itself
has been formulated. Yesterday the
subcommittee, Representatives Reilly,
Kyle, Powers, Hepburn and BOatner,
reported the bill to the full committee.
The basis of the plan, which involves
new features not before proposed, re-
quires the eXtinguishment of the pres
ent first mortgage and the substitution
of a new one, which is to be first lien
for the government debt 1t will be
conditioned for semi-annual payment,
effect of which will be to constantly
decrease the debt and gradually
extinguish it. Payments are re-
quired yearly of S1,65O,OOO from
the Union Pacific and Si.5OO. 900 from
the Central Pacific. Roughly speaking,
it is estimated that from fifty to sixty
five years will be required to cancel
the debt upon this plan

WORK OF A CYCLONE.
Five Persons Killed and Others Injured I

others and slightly wounding several
more. The dead and wounded are:
Daniel Barrett. leg broken, arm torn
of and internally injured.
Mrs. Daniel Barrett, leg torn from

hours afterward.
George Oxinger, body beaten into a

Charles Cole, fatally hurt internally.
Mrs. Charles Cole, head crushed; Will

Jennie Creek, head crushed; will re-

The scene of the cyclone is n hard
one to describe. Houses, fences. trees
and distractions of all kinds in the
path of the storm have been carried
away and nothing left to mark the
spot where they stood except huge
holes in the ground. The country de-
vastated is about one-quarter of mile
wide and six miles in length, the great
funnel-shaped cloud travelling in an
irregular southeasterly course, the
greatest damage being done about n
mile from where it rose, and passing

PROSPERITY AND TAXES.
High Tariff Productive of Hard Times
and Bankruptcy.

and Bankruptcy.
When the failure of prudent farm
ers' crops creates a gap between the
receipts and expenditures on settle
ment day he Immediately contrives to
reduce expenses and increase reVe-
nues. Any other course would entail
bankruptcy in the end. When bust
ness is dull and the profite On reduced
sales fails to meet the fixeS charges of
the enterprise the prudent merchant
or manufacturer sets about devising
means to reduce rents and minimize
other expenditures to the end that
threatened insolvency may be averted-
When an intelligent people are bur-
dened with charges beyond their ca
pacity to pay, the wise course is to
adopt measures to lessen the charges
so that their labor may be released
from needless taxation.
The American people are suffering
from excessive taxation. When bust
ness is brisk, sales rapid and profits
large the merchant can stand high
rent, liberal wages to employees and
costly methods of transacting bust
ness. When crops are abundant and a
ready market supplies an active &C.
mand at high prices, the farmer doesn't
feel the expense of implements. But
when conditions are reversed. and in
stead of profits as the result of bust
ness effort in the store or ceaseless toll
on the farm, the roundup shows a
loss, economies must be introduced to
prevent disaster. Then a difference of
few hundred dollars year in wages
and rent and few dollars apiece on
farm machinery becomes a matter of
Importance.
After the war the release of a vast
army with large sums represent ting
their wages In their pockets made bust
ness all through the country lively.
Prices were high because the money
was actively employed. Taxes were
high, but that made no difference.
Profits were so large that the amounts
drawn by means of taxation were not
missed. But gradually things have
changed. Profits have dwindled and
erything has decreased except taxes.
They go on and increase while the
ability to pay is lessened. The conse-
quence is bankruptcy, and the remedy
is in reducing the charges ANY capa-
BILE business man or intelligent farmer
understands this--Kansas City Times.

Raid.
VACAvILLE, Cal. May 1S.-Portions
of the disbanded California industrial
army, which have for some DAYS been
located at various places in and near
this county, inaugurated raid on the
Chinese and japanese laborers on nit
farms and ranches OF Vaca and Pleas
ant valleys. The japanese and Chi
nese houses on the Porter and Will
son ranches, near Winters, were de-
stroyed. The mob numbered I25.
They continued down Pleasant val
ley, sacking houses and greatly ter
rorizing their occupants. They awak-
ened William Thissell, raucher. and
forced him to lead them to his japanese
house which they robbed and demol-
ished. Then they marched south into
Vaca valley, driving the frightened
Japanese and Chinese before them.
firing guns and making other noisy
demonstrations
The mob was afterwards met by q
number of ranchers and citizens from
Vacaville, who were armed with Win
chesters. They took the whole gang
into custody and drove them to Vaca-
vile, where eighty-seven whites are
held under arrest on a charge of riot.
The town is full of armed men and
there is great excitement. 1t is said
that fifty rioters are still at large in
Vaca valley
