The Salvation army Is preparing
for their annual self-denial week,
which will be celebrated throughout
the Dominion Of Cxnads, from Dc.
cember 1st to 9Th Inclusive. The pro-
ceeds which have been raised IN 9th.
or years through this concentrated
effort, has been . remarkable tcsti.
mony to the army's development and
activity. Every member OF the army.
Is we'll as the numerous friends of its
Institutions are asked to abstain
from some or all luxuries, and Ia some
cases, officers and soldiers have de.
termincd to do without even such
expenditure as is ordinarily consider
ed necessary in order to raise funds
to support the Salvation Army In its
many different branches.
The social operations, especially,
have been. greatly developed during
the last twelve months. and, as a na-
tural consequence the demand upon
the funds Of the army have increased
which will require greater efforts to
raise an increased amount during
the seld-denial week. The total
amount aimed for IL $4,000.

The stoke-Hoid. Of ocean R.e.r..

SS~-S-1ASANAsS
Well, in these days Of great mechani-
cal improvement, stoke-holds are losing
their terrora They are getting to be
quite comfortable. Great strides have
been made in the last twenty years In
increasing the speed Of ships, and It
isn't too much to ~ that most Of II
comes through better and stronger boil
ers. Twenty years ago the boilers Of
the fastest ships sustained only 20
pounds Of steam pressure to the square
inch, but now they sustain with ease
1855 pounds. This means more than
double the steam than formerly, and
much faster twisting Of the screws. It
also means more coal and more stoking,
but not near so much in proportion to
the gain In steam. This IL because fur
naces have also been improved, but the
work Of feeding their angry. threats b
hard enough; % hard, indeed, that
steamship owners have found that It
pays to look after tho comfort Of the
stokers as well a. others Of the crew,
and hence stoke!holds are beginning to
be ventilated and to be more comforta-
BILE as working places. The tempera-
ture Of stoke holds II still above 100
deg. when brisk work b going on, but
ventilators keep pouring fresh cool air
into the place and the stokers almost
never suffer from exhaustion in new
steamships.
The stoker works only eight hours Q
day, and this - divided into two
watches" Of four hours each. That IL,
he works four hours, then has eight
hours rest, and then works four hours,
and doesn't think his lot 10 such q bad
one after oil. To be sure, on merchant
men he has to be bounded all the time
to do his work properly, and he expects
It,. for he has q chronic objection
against wording without being driven
to 1t, and oftener than not doesn't think
It worth while to wash his face In his
eight hours interval of rest. He proba-
bly, wouldn't thank you. for your sym.
pathy IL you tried to tell him his life
u hard.-Harpers Young People.

The democratic papers are all try.
ing to explain the recent avalanche
saying 1t was the result of the. Nc
Kinley bill. Well, We think they are
right, but not in just the way they
explain It. To US the verdict Of the
people seems to be plain, and 10, that
the Mckinley bill o. originated aud
passed by tho republican, IL q great
deal better for the country than the
haphaEard, half.hearted, xill.os,the-
wish sort Of tariff Of the deMdplslts Is
shown In the passage of tho Wilson
bill. And this Is the opinion ll1t duly
Of republicans, but Of Thousands Of de.
mocrats who really believe In the doc
trine Of free trade. w. u
The fact is the great bulk Of the
people have gotten tariff down to
about these principles. 4.
First. Tariff Is the easiest and best
method Of raising revenue.
Second. Tariff should raise all the
revenue without direct taxation ex.
cept on certain luxuries and on liquors.
/ Third. It is better to placea tariff
on foreign goods which come into com.
petitioa with our own manufactures
and farm products than to place .
revenue tax on sugar. tea, coffee aud
and such products that We We cannot
raise or produce ut home. =.
Fourth. Tho amount OF tariff should
be governed, BY the difference BE-
tween wages abroad and wages here,
and the needs Of tho government.
That the free list should made as
large as possible on all articles which
do not compete with our produce iops,
and the necessary revenue produced
from manufactured and other com.
peting importations. ;
Fifth. That . tar laid on sugar,
tea, coffee etc, 10 invariably paid by
the consumer, but tariff on manu-.
featured articles IL In many cases not
paid at all by the consumer, while In
others only IN part. And that, 10 q
general rule. the longer q product 10
protected BY tariff the cheaper the
article becomes and the less tariff is
paid.
These propositions are, and have
been republican doctrines for yesrs,
and 1t is just now that the people be.
Clio to understand them.
In 1892 The people were scared to-
death by the "Humpty Dumpty that
sat on . Chinese WALL" In 1904,
Humptv has taken . fall, and all the
kings oxen sind men, will not BIO able

The annual convention Of the
Women's Temperance Union conven.
ed in the city OF Cleveland, Ohio,
Friday, Nov. 10th. Az this conven-
tion celebrates the Coming of age"
of the society, it was fitting that the
celebration be held In the birthplace
of the order. AS Miss Willard said.
Beloved Comrades: Twenty.one
years ago band of consecrated women
went forth to measure of with their
own steps the distance between the
home and the saloon. Alas! they
found 1t all too short, and from that
day to this they have been o self.con.

constantly making their report to the
continent, wide committee of the
whole, and this is its concluslon-sa.
looms must 60. AS II by magic, SINH
lar professions began to move through.
out the West, until 10 the fifty days
OF this heroic and unexampled faith
aud works, the liquor traffic was ban
ished from two hundred and fifty
towns and villages. We date our ORR
gin from that rcd-letter day set, like
another Christmas, In the dear De-
cember, to show that dawn is sure to
follow darkness.
Miss Wizards address was both de.
livered and received with marked
tokens Of emotion. This rose to its
highest pitch 10 her reference to Mrs.
Woodbridge and her quotation of
Tennyson's matchless lines: "Follow
the gleam."
About one hundred old crusaders and
notable visitors occupied the raised
seats reserved for them, at the open.
Ing session Of the convention. Music
Hall was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. The colors white and
yellow being everywhere prominent.
Among the visitors to the conven-
ton from North Dakota was Miss
Emma F, Bates, our recently elected
Superintendent Of Public instruction.
Miss Bates was introduced Monday
afternoon and spoke as follows:
"Dear Sisters of the national coiyen-
tion: desire to talk q little to you
On politics and I just wish to say that
a politician is one who is interested
in the peace, safety and prosperity of
this nation and as to the develop
ment and preservation of the morals
of the people Of this nation, there
fore. you are every one a politician,
and II you are politicians, and you are,
1t is your right and privilege and duty
to exercise the power of the politician
and that is the ballot. We have
wasted too much shoe leather and
spent too many useless prayers In get.
ting at something that We could set
tie in one instant. Let us conserve
onr energies and strengthen ourselves
by fighting to one end, and that is
suffrage, and it will come purity, tenn
perance, faith and truth"
Sunday. Nov. 18th. the pulplts of
the different churches of the city
were almost without exception filled
by delegates to the convention. Our
North Dakota delegate, Miss Eleza-
beth Preston spoke in the morning,
In the First Presbyterian church, and
In the evening In Lorlan st. n. E.
church. In the afternoon at Music
Hall the annual sermon to the con-
vention was delivered by Rev. j. w.
Bashford, D. D., President Wesleyan
University, Cleveland, Ohio.

"Americauisrns."


Many are the books on America
whlch.have been written by foreigners
and, much as VIC do IN visiting the
Old World, they remark, not always
In q complimentary way, upon the
points wherein our speech and man
ners differ from theirs. These pecu.
liarlties they group under the head Of
"Amerlcanisms." Our English cou.
sins have had much amusement from
our use Of "guess'' for "think" OF
suppose" and"mad" for 'angry," for
getting that their early writer's used
the words exactly the same sense. 1t
is simply the survival Of sthe old En-
glish In . new land. The tersc phras-
es Of America they look upon as slang,
not realizing that a young nation, In
vigorous development, and graphing
with new problems, needs practically
q new language. Truly. we have not
always improved on.the mother-tong-
ue. but II our visitors would overlook
particulars. and generalize more, they
would find some "Americanisms'' ia
admire. Among such, nothing would
be more worthy Of their attention
than the extensive railroad systems,
the difficulties over which they have
triunphed in their building, and the
completeness and luxurlousncss OF
their passenger equipment. A tour
over such systems as the Burlington
Route would convince that no such
comfortable long-distance Journeys
BY rail are possible In the Old World,
running Thousands of miles without
change Of cars, and all comforts Of
home at instant command. For infor.
nation as to extent and accomoda.
lions Of this railroad, make inquiry
when next you have q trip, Of your
home agent, or write w. J. G. Kenyon,
Gen. Pass. Agent, St. Paul, MIMI,
and you will find that the Burlington
can take the best care Of you to al.
most any point.
