coolies of India in fax culture? The
fact is that the success of every indus
try in the United States is so inter
woven with every other, that we must
stand together in upholding one
another. We must protect the silver
miner by allowing him to take his sill
yer to the mint and have it coined in
to dollars at the rate of 16 to l; but
while SO doing we must not neglect the
wool-grower, the farmer or the lead
miner We must pull together, for
united we stand, divided we fall" If
we are ever again to be happy and
prosperous people we must concede
that all classes of our people have
rights; that every laboring man and
woman under our flag has right to
the protection of his government not
only from the aggression of armed
force, but from the more fatal aggres-
sion of the pauper and criminal labor
of the Kingdoms and empires of the
old world. One year of Democratic
control, aided by their POpulist allies,
has cost this nation in diminished
values and discontinued industries,
more than the war of the Rebellion.
Lest there may be some Populists in
your county who do not understand
the kind of company they have Joined,
and may deny that the Populist party
is in sympathy with the Democrats on
free trade, respectfully refer you to
the speech of Hon. Jerry Simpson of
Kansas, delivered in the House of Rep
resentatives in Washington, Friday
Jan. 18th, 1894, and printed in the Con-
gressional Record, Sunday Jan. 18th.
Mr.. Simpson is the recognized leader of
the Populists in the House. He said:
IL am a free trader in all the word i'm
plies" Mr.. Simpsons conception OF
political economy. like that of many OF
his colleagues, is bounded by the hori-
zon of his own vision, looking over the
grasshopper stricken fields of Kansas
His heart yearns for the cheap prod
ucts of European labor; his own state
being unfortunate, he would strike
down the industries OF every other.
Fortunately this class of statesmen is not
growing; the intelligence of American
citizenship will assert itself; the or
ganization of Republican clubs through
out the state, in which you have taken
the initiative, will be extended, and
predict that the free traders of Idaho
will receive such rebuke at the polls
next November as will admonish them
to drop that theory for all time to come.
Thanking you for your kind invitation,
and regretting my inability to meet
with you, am

The Moose Made Quick Time.

"Any one who thinks moose can q
travel at pretty lively gait is very
much mistaken, remarked George T.
Horton of st. Paul ~ used to be To-
connective engineer up in the northern
part Of my state, and one day had an
opportunity to test the speed of this an
imal. I was running light freight
train, and in coming around a curve
saw big moose standing directly on
the track. AS soon as the animal saw
the engine he took to his heels right
down the path between the rails For
about four miles we had a perfectly
straight track, and as 1 had heard Of
the great speed of this animal l deter
mined to test its ability. The gait of the
moose was sort of trot, such only as a
moose can exhibit, his PAGES being about
two rods in length. At first it was only
a little jog, but as the engine began to
gain speed the moose let himself out.
Faster and faster sped the engine, but
still the frightened moose trotted in the
van, and all the mysterious power of
steam could not prevail upon this mon
arch of the forest. At last after we had
covered the four miles, turning curve,
we came upon gang of section hands
who were fixing the track. The sight of
these men frightened the moose from
the track, and he was soon lost to view

sacred" Water Analysed.

A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred well at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs, is the we'll that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life of Ishnael After
reading the results of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water are frequently attacked by
cholera.
The specimen examined, which was
Theoretically sealed in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise of
dervish, contained SO grains of chlorine
to the gallon. Water which contains so
little as grains of chlorine to the gal
Ion is ordinarily regarded as scarcely fit
for human consumption.
Moreover, in the case of the Fem Zen
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom of pouring
the water over the pilgrims and allow
ing it to run back into the we'll. The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree Of hardness,
three times as great as that of average
water. 1t also held 90 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for SO long time
sealed up i'll entire darkness. Forty
years of such confinement had complete
ly sterilized it, but the chemical i'm

against a showcase and began: 81 wa,

heard quite racket inside. l went in
There was one Of the big Irish women

was sent in, and pretty soon a police.
man came running down and arrested
her Just as he was about to haul her
out to the patrol box that stands on the
corner near by dignifed looking man
stepped out of the crowd and said, Let

Then read thatl shouted the dignified
looking man, pointing to the sign on
the wall. The policeman turned and
read sign, Letter Box. ="
The smooth looking man stopped here
and looked around expectantly. No one
laughed.
After depressing silence for couple
of minutes one of the party said, "Well,
what's the joker"
why" said the smooth looking
man, Letter box-let her box, see?
Let-her--box. meaning the woman
who had on the boxing gloves. :"
There was a succession of dismal
groans, and every one save the clerk
walked out into the night. After all
had gone the smooth looking man turned
to the clerk and said hurriedly: "Say,
boss, didn't mean nothing by that. 1
only wanted to get a chance to talk
with you in private.
"What do you want?" asked the
clerk.
The smooth looking man approached
him and said hoarsely, II only want a

''Well, you don't get it. "
The smooth looking mans face took
on hard expression. ''Then l will tell
you another story" he said firmly.
