Why is 1T Thus?

Here are five timely questions pro-
sounded to the Union, of Minneapo-
Ads, Mimi:
"Why is it that those who produce
food are,hungry?
why is it that those who make
clothing are ragged!
why is it that those who build
ihouses ere homeless?
"Why ia it that those who build
carriages go GA foot?
"Why IS it that these who produce
wealth have none of it,"
It is ptain to any thinking mind
that the conditions SO graphically
pictured in the aboRe are not natural
and just, but artificial and unjust. 1t
is the result Of class Legislation in the
IRterest of the capital Of the land. It
is IA evil fastened upon the couutry
by acts Of congress. Congress cannot
ilegislRte so as to make every man
wealthy. No Legislation GAG hs 50
constructed IS to ward of misfortune

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at a terrific rate, there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great Something must
and does give way. This is equally true of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets
and worries, and the results are the same as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals and
insane asylums are full of these unlortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-

PUTTING OFF SALVATION.

The steamship Central America, on
a voyage from New York to San
Francisco, sprang leak in mid
ocean. A vessel, noticing her signal
of distress, bore down toward her.
Seeing the danger to be very great,
the captain of the rescue ship spoke
to the Central America:
What is amiss?"
I'VE are IN bad repair, and going
downs lie by till morning." was the
answer.
"Let me take your passengers on
board now"
But as it was night the commander
of the Central America did not like
to send his passengers, lest some
might be lost; and thinking the ship
could be kept afoat while longer,
replied:
Lie by till morning."
Once more the captain of the res
cue ship cried, 'You had better let
me take them now"
Lie by till morning." was sounded
back through the trumpet.
About an hour and a half afterward
her lights were missed; and though
no sound had been heard, the Central
America had gone down, and all on
board persisted just because 1t had
been thought they could be saved
better at another time.

The meeting at Plummer's grove
last Friday was a success in every
sense of the word. Fully 1000 peo-
pie gathered to listen to the speeches
and music. The meeting was opened
with an approx riate address from A.
B. Dixon, introducing Mrs. Anna
Dlggs who made the speech Of the
day. She spoke for nearly two hours,
and in a logical, convincing, argumen-
tatlve style presented the cardinal
doctrines of the peoples party, and
won many votes for the right. Hon.
N. b, Mccormick spoke briefly at the
close, making mastery arraignment
Of the methods of old party speakers
and their vain efforts to try to retain
the thinking voter. The music Of the
day was furnished by Republican
City Ladies' Band composed Of young
ladies of that city. Misses Mertie
and DAISY Stoddard who are we'll re-
membered by the people of this city,
are members, The music was first

Everybody went home feeling happy.

ARE YOU SICK

A story IS related of an American
travelling IN Syria who saw three ma
tive shepherds bring their focks to
the same brook, and the focks drank
there together. AT length one shep-
herd arose and called out, "Men. ali,
men-ahp (which is the Arabic word
for "follow me.') HIS sheep came
out of the common herd and followed
HIM up the hillside. Then the next
shepherd did the same, and his sheep
went away with him, aud the man
did not even stop to count them. The
American said to the remaining shep-
herd, Just give me your cloak and
turban and crook, and see if they
won't follow me as soon as they will
you" So he put on the shepherds
dress and called out, men -ab, men
ahp but not sheep moved an inch.
They ''knew not the voice of II

can, The Syrian shepherd replied,
"Oh, yes; sometimes sheep gets
sick, and then it will follow any one"

TROUBLE has arisen between China
and Japan, over the Corean question.
The difficulty was approaching settle
ment, when China suddenly demand
ed of Japan a withdrawal OF her
troops, and a formal compliance with
Chinese demands otherwise the whole
Chinese forces were to advance
against Japan. News has just reach
ed here of a desperate battle between
the fleets Of China and Japan, July
81, in which the Chinese were defeat
ed, and the Chen Yuen, the largest
battleship but one in the Chinese SER
vice, was sunk, and two other large
Chinese vessels, said to be first class
cruisers, we're captured or destroyed.
The battle was holly contested, but
the Japanese appear to have handled
their guns, ships and torpedoes with
more skill than the Chinese, The
Chinese fleet engaged carried nearly
1000 men, and few, il any Of the
Chinese engaged IN the battle es-

Wooden Payements.

Although regarded as entirely modern,
wooden pavements are of great antiquity,
and wood has been used for road and street
purposes in every form, from the corduroy
road of the backw oodsman, or the primitive
tree-t trunk bridge Of the Indian up to the
Nicholson pavement of various shapes and
kinds of tim be of the present day. Some
twenty years ago wooden pavements were
quite the rage in many of our American
cities and promised to supersede the c0bble-
stone or Belgian blocks, that make Ameri-
can streets the worst in the world. 1t was
TO und that wood, no matter how treated,
or how carefully put down. lasted but
few years, and sooner or later rOtted or
caved in. This is no doubt due to the
frequent rains and the constant melting of
snow in the win ter time, as we'll as TO the
expansion and contraction Of the material
itself under varying degrees OF heat and
cold, moisture and aridity.
Wooden pavements are now seen in but
few places in America, though without
doubt they could be used to advantage IN
the rising cities along the great American
Divide. The city of Melbourne, in Aus
traIa, Is perhaps the best paved In the
whole world, and every foot of it, from
sidewalk to sidewalk, is composed oil
