day on all public works. Our factories
and business houses are of course run
by private firms. Yes, we have strikes
occasionally and how to prevent them
is the most knotty problem we have yet
had to solve. We passed compulsory
arbitration law at the last session but
whether that will solve the problem it
is too soon to decide. We have an
excellent public school system with
compulsory attendance for all children
under 10. They are exclusively secular,
no religion of whateoever nature is al
lowed to be taught in them. All busi-
ness houses are obliged to remain closed
during Sunday and all labor must cease.
One is, however, allowed to do whatever
else he pleases whether it be to attend
church. attend place of amusement,
or play games of any nature. Besides

Strange to say, the liberals are the
protective tariff party in our country,
while the conservatives want free trade.
This is due to the fact that the con-

the owners of sheep ranges, who export
the most of their products and conse-

deep slumber, lying on the grass by
the roadside. 1t required some work
to awaken them. Each had Il hand

the police thought at first he had run

finally said that they had climbed one
of the city lamp posts and had turned
on the gas until their handkerchiefs
had been thoroughly saturated. Then
they had climbed down and retired
to the grass TO lie down and have a

1t is said one of the principal
sources of the supply of caffeine in
England is the sweepings of tea from
the floors of the various docks,
wharves and warehouses in London.
These sweepings aggregate about
$4,000 pounds of tea annually, or.
with the dirt, nails. hoop-iron and
wood which gets mixed with the tea.
about 400 tons. The loss to the tea
importers annually is about 1925, 900.
The sweepings have naturally fair
proportion OF good to fine grade teas
mixed with them, and, consequently,
contain a larger amount of the active
principles OF tea, called by chemists
caffeine" than the low quality teas.
The sweepings cost the chemists only
about half cent per pound. Chem
lists can make colors from coal oil
as well as teas FROM store sweepings,

Mexican Suicide Craze.

Numerous Mexicans in the City o.
Mexico have been trying to kill them
selves OF late. A young white man
named Cabrales, took his own life,
the other day, at his home, in most
horrible manner. He first stabbed
himself in the abdomen. Finding
that the wound would not kill him, he
inflicted a second stab little higher
up, then in the throat. aud finally in
the heart. A note found in his posses
sion stated that he been slandered in
connection with a love affair. He
could have saved himself much trouble
and unpleasantness by commencing
suicide at the top, and blowing his
head off first.

THE BANKERS UNDERSTAND.
They See the Point of the Free Silver
Idea.

They See the Point of the Free Silver
The plutocrats of the east fully un-
derstand the situation. They know
there are no picket lines kept up be-
tween the silver camp and the old
greenback stamping ground. Listen
to what William Cornwell, president
Of the New York state bankers asso-
citation said the other day at bank
ers' club banquet in Chicago:
IF, in 1S75-6-7-S, the bankers and
the sound money men had been organ
lied as they are organized now, and had
spoken out as they are speaking out
now; had started on campaign of edu-
cation as they are starting out now;
the greenback would long ago
have been wiped out, the silver lunacy,
before it had wrought incalculable
damage, would have been confined to
the asylums where it belongs, and Pop
ulism would have been promptly swept
back into the holes of its native prairie
from which it originally emerged and
would have become rare specimen of
this dangerous manifestation of bar
barism, which now mouths poisonous
ly against our possessions and our lib
critics."
This was President Cornwell's OPEN
ing sentence, and it contains lit words,
by actual count. Pleasant reading,
isn't it
The gold bugs campaign of educa-
tion is expected to do the work which
should have been done nearly twenty
years ago: The greenback is to be
wiped out; and the silver lunacy con-
fined to the asylums, where it be-
longs"
That reminds us of what Benjamin
Harrison said when running for gov
ernor of Indiana in 1876. He recon-
mended that the state lunatic asylums
be enlarged for the accommodation OF
the members Of the greenback party.
"And Populism swept back into the
holes of its native prairie"-to be re-
membered only as dangerous man
Hesitation of barbarism."
The plutocrats hate the Populists
worse than any other class of voters,
simply from the fact we have persist
emily kept up the agitation. We added
immensely to our total strength in
spite of the withering fire of last falls

bone into the weakening silverites; we
have made voters realize that the Peo-
pies party is an organization, small
but well equipped for political fighting;
that there is one banner along the line
which is being carried toward the in
trenchments of Wall street, steadily and
unflinchingly.
To the time servers who are always
ready to fight on the side of the strong

parting threat:
