such worthless cause as you did last
Tuesday evening, you are very apt to-
amble down the eventide of life with
your name indclibly associated with that
Of Trousers. But get on the right side Of
. question, Rolloff, and advance as many
good arguments for good cause as you
did ridiculous ones for foolish one, and
you'll be hummer of the first order, q
star of the greatest magnitude.
81 don't believe there would have been
any objection to this race-rack, gentle
men, if you hadn't brought it into poli-
tics and usedit to beat some ofMY MEN"
These were the words used by Chas. Sill
verson last Tuesday evening at the coun-
Gil session, and all joking aside, we be-
lieve them to be the most statesmanlike
ever erolved by the human mind. How
true the words of somebody else, that
great men rise to great occasions!
"WhY, its the most ridiculous thing in
the world'sa would d-be-Alderm Retz-
laf at the council meeting Tuesday even
| ing. This idea of Mr.. Lind that the pro-
posed race track shall he used for driv-
ing park, fairgrounds and race course
combined is all nonsense. It's impos-
sible. Nobody ever heard of such
thing" What capital subject for
second story byMarkT Twain on 'sInnocents
Abroad" this orator would make. How
much there is for him yet to learn in the
world around him and what wide field
for broadening his knowledge. What
massive brain and what grasping in
tellect it must have required to discover
those weighty reasons, which were ad
vanced against the driving park by Rol-
loft, Retzlaff, Schubert and Silverson last
Tuesday evening. That clever laugh
provoker, Bill Nye, couldn't have origin
ated anything half so ridiculous had he
labored ever so hard.
What Democratic Rule Has Cost the
Country,
Let me classify approximately the pen
alties which have followed as the early
result of the political tornado ofNovem-
ber, 1892. Far below the very lowest
intelligent estimates made from statis-
tics of value, l may charge the dominant
party with having caused an absolute
and tangible loss in dollars and cents to
the Saturday might recipients of weekly
wages, the working men and women of
the United States; of $5O0,00O,00O.
mean by this that by the depression in
business consequent upon the advent to
power of political party which is not
responsible to any higher authority
hardly even to public sentiment more
than half billion dollars in wages have
been taken from the years due of men,
women, and children who stood ready
and anxious to give agood dollars worth
of labor for every dollar of wages. A
thousand millions of dollars is but q
small and modest estimate of the differ
ence between the value of farms and
farm products in March, 1898, and
March, 1894.
But the story is not yet half told.
Corporate enterprises, manufactures,
railways, tradesmen. professions, s,--every
interest is reached. These interests in
which capital has been SO largely inves-
ted, including every factory, mill, store,
shop, railroad, mining company, vessel
owner, and transportation company, have
sunk, in valuation of investment and in
loss upon business, much more than
81 ,oOO, 600, 900 in addition. Add togeth-
eI, then, the recorded results of wrecked
industry and stagnant business which
have met our eyes and ears; give ample
allowance for every hope and ray of fu-
ture sunshine; and upon the most un-
doubted proof we find our country more
than $4,000, ,OOO, 900 to the bad in twelve
months Hon. s. NJ. Cullom in the May
Forum.
Gambling Without Limit.
