The alarm of republican organs

MCKINLEY carried the republican
convention at Denver. But Denver Is
too far west for the holding of the
next national republican convention
which will nominate a presidential
candidate.-St. Louis Republic.
The Illinois democrats promul-
gated a solid truth when they con-
demned republican PartisanshiP for
prolonging the business depression BY
fighting a reform of the tariff. On
this proposition their platform says:

sanship which seeks to prolong for
party advantage the period OF Imam
cial depression."-Kan City Tines
Vermont republicans let a whole
srmy of cats out of the political bag.
In their state platform they denounce
the democratic Wilson tariff bill be-
cause it increases the tax on the poor
mans breakfast table" At the same
time they say the bill decreases tho
tariff on luxuries." And so the great
tariff for the ..protection of American
labor is, after all, a ''taD on tho poor
man." according to Vermont republic
ans.-N. Y. Post.
The tariff bill has been sent to
conference after a vain attempt on tn .
part of the republicans to delay action.
The conferrees OF the house are WAL
son, McMillin, Turner and Montgom-
ery, democrats, and Reed, Burrows
and Payne, republicans. This is q
committee that is likely to insist on
democratic principles against German

ringing speech was full of both cour'
age and hope.-N. Y. World.

and found that she was not hurt. but
that a stray shot from the direction of
the gaming-tabl had struck the key
board of the piano, ripping up some OF
the keys beneath her fingers while she
was playing. She was unnerved with
fright, hysteria accompanying it.
Then the doctor bound up the ranch

some splintered fragments. The full
extent of the shooting now being
known and having been discussed, the
crowd began to thin away.
When the surgeons work was fin

The Bordeaux Mixture.

The Bordeaux mixture originated in
France. It is the refuse dye matter
and was frat used by fruit grower
near Bordeaux to render his 6ne trees
attempting that his neighbors might
loose all desire to steal his fruit. 1t
was soon noticed that the quality and
quantity OF the latter improved and
investigation followed. The mixture
has stood the test of time and is large

A young women whose life was full
of lofty ambitions found herself occu-
pied day after day with disagreeable
household tasks. As the future
seemed to shut down hopelessly
around these homely duties, the girl
grew complaining and bitter One
day her father, who was the village
doctor, said to her: do you see
those walls? They are cheap, worth
less things in themselves, but in one /
put deadly poison, in another a
sweet perfume, in another healing
medicine. Nobody cares for the
walls themselves, but for what they
carry. So with our duties, insignif-
cant and worthless in themselves, but
the patience, or anger, or high think
ing, or bitterness which we put in
them, that is the important thing, the
immortal thing" Perfection consists
not in doing extraordinary things,
but IN dong ordinary things with an
extraordinary spirit.-SilUer Cross.

The future of any people is largely
shaped by the sincerity of their moral
teachers We must not throw our
theology too far into eternity. There
is no victory to him who bats every
ball over the fence Eternity is we'll
enough but some things belong to
time. The old Jerusalem occupied a
large portion Of Judaism, so every
question that touches life is raised Of
God. We cannot put the Star Of

force, must remain with our nation

When Epimonides, with the fatal
javelin in his breast, inquired for two
of his great leutenants, and was told
they both we're slain, he replied:
then nothing remains but to make
peace with the enemy" Often, in
the battle of life, when health and
fortune are gone, and death is i'm
pending, men realize that the only
alternative Is to make peace with
God. How much better to make this
truce while health and prosperity re-
main and AppoIyon has not cast his
deadly dart! Will God be reconciled
when all power to resist HIM is gone?

"The Times" Campaign Rates,
In order that no citizen Of the
southwest may have an excuse for
not being posted on the developments
of the interesting political campaign
which is just opening, The Times has
made a special campaign rate of S.
so for the daily and Sunday paper,
and 35 cents for The 1tUjceG a. Week
Times until January l. While The
| Times is an earnest and fearless sup
porter of democratic principles, it is,
and always has been, liberal enough
to open its columns to representatives
of different political opinions for the
discussions of their views. In the
columns of The Times the important
news of the campaign of 1894 will be
set forth fully and fairly. It's news
facilities are unequalled by those Of
any other newspaper published in the
southwest. At the prices made either
the daily or the Ttgice-G- Week edition

pies for the success of which the peo-
pie of the west are contending

Government Ownership Coming.
The irresistible logic Of events will
compel the early assumption by gov
eminent of the ownership and con-
troll of Interstate railways, What
ever such step might bring the re-
suits would not be more inimlcal to
all interested than are the conditions
which to day exist
Whether the situation be viewed
from the standpoint of the present
owners, OF the state, Of the general
public, or the hard-worked and I'M
der-paid employees, the inevitable
outcome appears the same-railroads
will be the first Of the great monopo-
lies to fall under government direc.
ton.
The owners Of railroad stock will
be the first to favor the change il the
present unhappy and discouraging
situation continues. II we may trust
the statements, made under oath in
the courts Of the land, fully half the
railways Of the country are under the
management and control Of as
precious lot of scoundrels as exist
outside Of prison walls. They have
robbed not only the public, but the
stakeholder has been plundered and
the bondholder's securities rendered
worthless,
The people will not much longer
endure the corruphng influence upon
state Legislation of the great railway
corporations. No state is free from
this influence, and the railway man
ayers boldly declare they either must
control the legislatures or be legisla-
ted into bankruptcy,
The general public will not much
longer endure the unfair, unjust dis
ordinations made by the railways,
which the interstate commerce COM
mission, hampered as it is by the
rulings Of the courts, seems power
less to suppress.
The hundreds Of thousands Of en-.
ploYes. who year by year are coming
to feel the ever increasing power of
combined capital in lessening wage
and more CALLING restrictions, are
ready for the change their ballots
will aid in bringing about.
And in addition to this there is
growing in the public mind all over
this broad land the conviction that
rule or ruin policy Of the great car
riers must cease, but that never,
while private interests may be sub
served through that policy, will it
cease. National control Of the great
highways OF commerce is in the
thought Of every farmer in the west
to-day who sees the splendid pro-
ducts of his lands and toll 20 to en-
rich those who produce nothing for
the worlds benefit, What seemed q
century away few years ago, now
seems within reach of the present,
and the wheels Of progress, now so
swiftly moving, bid fair to bring US
to the goal before another decade has
passed. If the A. n. U. boycott had
done nothing more, its influence in
stimulating the public mind to action
in this direction would more than
compensate for all the ills that follow
in it's train Chicago Times.
