The Political Bore,


The reform movement is not with
out its political bores. He comes into
the Office and is perfectly willing to
sacrifice an hour of his valuable time
while he relates how he numerically
skinned the Hon. Erastus Pettifog up
at Hogstraw school house, or how he
scared into the ethereal realms of flu
ency while the great Hypsogontus Pc
lantus hung his head and felt the
crushing weight of his mastery logic
Or, perhaps he will tell you how the
paper ought to be run and offer his
services by contributing now and then
over his own name, in order to give
the paper influence and prestige with
a certain class of people with whom he
is exceedingly popular. Or perhaps
he buttonholes you and gently leads
you entirely out of your own office
while other fiends are counting up i'm
possible majorities on the margins
of your ''copy." 1t never seems to
dawn upon him that it constitutes
brains, thought and time to get up
paper, or that the editors sanctum is
not the best place in the world to loaf
and air his views and chew his cigar
stumps. There are different types of
the political bore. Some you can
shake off by leaving the state. Some
will face You if they have to travel in
circle at the rate of six miles an honr
to do it. They are born, but we neve-
never heard tell of one dying.

and the dread secret police, and who
so cruelty prosecuted the Poles and
Jews.
Alexander III was a second son.
His eldest brother, Nicholas, died in
1865. His mother was Princess Maria,
daughter of the late grand duke of
Hesse- Darmstadt, and the date of his
birth was March TO- 1s45. Thus he
was only 40 years of age.
OF the cars reign there is little to
be said. 1t has not known any marked
reforms. Everything has been main
tanned on much the same order as it
was at the time of his fathers death.
The Russian arms have made advan-
tageous conquests in Central Asia and
there was a great famine among the
poor.
The czar was of commanding figure,
sanding over six feet, and he was one
of the strongest men in all Russia.
One of his feats was to bend silver
ruble with his fingers; another was to
twist out of shape heavy steel horse
shoe.
Of all the worlds monarchs he was
probably the wealthiest All of the
imperial realm was practically his
own properly. His income has never
for the car. to be expended in affairs
of state, on private possessions or
boarded, as he sees fit, and there is
no recourse from his decision or will.
Not only is he the supreme power in
the state and in matters of finance,
but of the church as well, in fact the
czar is Russia.
Nicholas III. was born at st. Peters
burg May Is, 1868. Most of his child
hood was spent at the Tsarskoe- Selo
palace, sixteen miles from st. Peters
burg.
The boy was only IL when his
grandfather, the Gar Alexander II,
was assassinated. Now Alexander
III lies dead from malady caused
by internal injuries received in a rail-
road accident cleverly planned by the
same ever active Nihilists.
OF pleasant events in the life of
Nicholas the only ones publicly re-
corded are his partly accomplished
tour of the world in 1891 and his be-
throthal to the Princess Alix of Hesse
in April last.

INSPECTION OF FOODS.
Secretary Morton Giving Much Atten-
tIon to This Subject.

tIOn to This Subject.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton is giving earnest
attention to the inspection of foods
exported from and imported into the
United States. and as a result may
suggest some very radical steps in his
next report
1t may be recommended by Secre-
tary Morton that the packers whose
meat Is inspected be taxed to
defray the cost of inspection, as
liquor and cigar manufacturers are
taxed. The government has been
paying $3.50, 900 year for this service
and, although Secretary Morton is
able to reduce the expense materially
he thinks the sys TEN might he self
sustaining, as he believes the meat
packers, rather than.the general tax
paying public, are its beneficiaries.
In the past it has been largely a po-
litical institution, he asserts, and
some OF the inspectors were not quail
fled for their duties. Admissions to
this branch of the service are to be
secured hereafter only after the APP
plicants have passed a rigid civil SER
vice examination. This rule went
into effect on July last OF the first
group examined only two aspirants
for Office attained a rank which will
secure them appointments. All of
the inspectors who have been re-
tanned in the service will be required
TO take the examination when the
eligible list contains enough names
to fill the places of those who fail to
pass. The department is meeting
with much trouble in its efforts to
find men Of the needful requirements
for these positions.

How to increase Business.

Gee whizi how merchants do display
and advertise cut prices on goods, try
ing to sell them to people, who need
them bad enough, but have no money
and can get none. If they would
expend half their energy in try
ing to find out why the people who
buy of them have less money than
in former years, and the bank
ers and such who do not buy of them
have all the stuff. they. would soon
fix things so their force of help would
be inadequate to meet the effective de-
mand for goods. They are about as
wise as the diamond merchant who
cultivated the pat onage of beggars.
Merchants, read up. You Will then
know. whLt to sio.--Goning Nation.

other organizations in full sympathy
with the Peoples party, can be or
ganized into the Industrial legion for
20 cents, which is simply the cost Of
postage and supplies. All persons.
male or female, over fourteen are
eligible for membership, and where
they have no organization the charter
fee is one dollar. which is used to pay
the expenses of printing and postage.
Where the people are utterly unable
to afford to pay this one dollar, they
can send the postage as above and cost
of supplies Quartermaster General
George +. Washburn has perfected a
wonderful plan for the benefit of the
legion. 1t viii be known as Article
VII of the constitution. 1t will benefit
each member. pay all of his dues, and
net all the money that is needed for
political and educational work. 1t is
simple, easily understood. and has
been thoroughly tried. and we earnest
ly request all organizations to turn
into Industrial legions as rapidly as
as possible, so as to take advantage of
this plan PAUL VANDERvooRr,
III. Z. TAUBENECK
We have 1,OuO Legions in line al
ready. We have the ad litional en-
dorsement of nearly all the state COM
mittees, who all hold for another year.
They see the absolute need of this or
/ ganization.
Arkansas, after noble fight in Sep
tember, where they gained all along
the line, have issued grand state COM
mittee address and urge the people to
organize Legions and asked all clubs
to turn into Legions at once, and they
are now writing from every county.
Let this example be followed in every
STATE.
Let us inaugurate the great conflict
of 1896 by rallying everywhere into
local legions. SO we may be ready for
the battle. We have millions to con-
tend with. The enemy are entrenched;
they control both the old parties: they
have allies across the sea. twill need
the grandest effort the world has ever
witnessed to win the victory. In our
ranks rest the hopes of a peaceful set
tlement at the ballot box The enemy
are eager to use force. They control
the army and navy and have the money
power of the world to support their
cause. Five hundred thousand battle
| worn old veterans who once wore the
blue and gray, are banded together
to save the nation from the hor-
rors of civil war. Once they con-
tended like men in the arena of blood.
| Now, thank God, under the old flag
Washington, Adams and jefferson gave
us we touch elbows to save the nation
from destruction. We want 900 brave,
devoted men and women who with a
willing spirit of self sacrifice will
march forward and overcome all OBJ
stacles and plant the banners of the
Industrial legion in every voting pre-
cinct in the land. If this is done the
Peoples party will capture the white
house and congress in 1896 Who will
volunteer? Send for papers and let
all clubs, alliances, farm and labor
orders procure charters at once

TRADE SITUATION.
Dun's Weekly Review of the Business
World.

Dun's Weekly Review of the Business
World.
New YORK. Nov 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The last week OF October, with an
election near, cannot indicate much of
the true condition of business In
some trades the season is too far ad-
vanced for great activity and in 9TH
ers the supposed effects of the voting
hinder operations. But the volume
of production is well maintained, and
in one or two branches increased; no
monetary difficulties disturb. Bread
stuffs are little higher and no ma
terial decline appears during the
week in manufactured products At
present the volume of business trans
acted is on the whole smaller than
last year and much smaller than in
1892, though a presidential election
was then close at hand.
Corn has advanced four cents, with
Western receipts about a third and
exports about an eighth of last years.
Yet pork and hogs are somewhat low
er, with lard about the same. Wheat
is three-fourths of a cent higher for
spot and one cent for Decem Der, and
1T looks as if strength in corn had pre-
vented a further decline.

A Shot Cause. a Bad Explosion.

MUsCoGEE, Ind. Ter, Nov Last
Monday Andrew j. Perryman, son of
Chief Perryman of the Creek nation,
went to a hardware store in an inland
town and bought some cartridges.
with these he loaded large revolver
In some way the pistol was
discharged, and the ball went
through the counter into a
can of powder. An eXplo-
sion followed and young Perryman
was blown through the ceiling and
roof of the house, and his shattered
body was found on top of the build
ing. The body was terribly burned
and lacerated, and many of the bones
were crushed. Life was extinct A
man named Archer was blown with Il
mass of furniture and hardware to
the back of the building, and was
probably fatally injured.

A BIG OMAHA FIRE.
HAMMOND BEEF PACKING
PLANT BURNED.
Two Flremen Lose Their Lives Under
Failing WAIls-The Total Loss Will
Aggregate S5OO.OOO-The Property
Insured for 100000.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 3-Just as the
men were gong to work in the big
beef house of the Hammond packing
planta South Omaha at o clock yes
terday morning, flames were discovered
on the second floor. and before any
thing could be done they had spread
20 the third and fourth floors. The
private fire department of the Ham
monds started to fight the flames, but
the water pressure was SO light that
1T was impossible TO accomplish any
thing, and word was sent to Omaha and
all the available apparatus was hur-
ried TO the scene, for as high wind
was blowing, the fire threatened to
spread TO the house of Swift 81 Co.,
and TO the stock yards
All the efforts of the firemen were
confined to keeping the fire from
spreading, as there was no possible
show of saving the big beef house, a
four-story structure, 2OOx2OO feet,
which originally cost $500, 900, and was
filed with valuable machinery and a
large amount of beef, worth at least
$500, 600 more.
The efforts Of the fremen proved
successful, but only at the cost of
two lives. At IL o'clock one of the
walls of the burning building fell and
two tiremen, belonging to the private
department of the packing company,
were buried under tons of burning
timbers and red hot brick.
The killed were: John Steele. Henry
Peters. Immediately after the wall
fell efforts at recovering the bodies
OF the two men were begun but it was
two hours before their bodies were
uncovered. When taken from the
debris it was discovered that both
men were still grasping the hose noz-
zle they were holding when their
lives were crushed out. Steele was
married only last Wednesday,
The insurance on the property de-
stroyed amounted to S22O, 600.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been pipe left lighted in a
workingman' coat. Three hundred
and fifty women are out of employ
ment

Germany,s New Imperla, Policy.

BERLIN, Nov. 2.-It is stated that
Prince Hohenlohe has come to an
agreement with Emperor William
which will change the, imperial poll
cy in several important respects. The
first visible sign of this is the issu-
ance of an order to establish agricul-
tural bureaus in connection with the
German embassies at London, Wash
ington, Paris, Vienna and St. Peters
burg. This step is looked upon as
evidence of stricter protective agra
rian policy which is known to have
been contemplated for some time

until a form of government came on
the stage that was to stand forever"
In the End chapter the permanent
government is called the 'little stone
hands - the 9TH chapter the prophet
had view Of the same governments
of earth rising and falling in success
sion, until permanent one came on
the stage which is called the ancient
of days" This name alludes to the
fact that it is to be a government
modelled after the Hebrew republic in
which the masses chose their rulers,
and Moses instructed them to choose
men who fear God and hate covetous-
ness" This Ancient of days." the
prophet tells us to be a government
in which the people of the Saints of
the Most High should take the king

We are now witnessing in this clos

what the prophet saw ages ago. The
people are moving everywhere in the
civilized world, to take the govern

platform are in perfect harmony with

equally true that no man can vote for
either of the ola parties without
thereby voting to sustain mammon
