The original Constitution of tho

inches deep, and fourteen by nineteen
inches in size. In four of these frames

THE SALOON FLoUR1sHEs ALWAYS.

When labor Is most disturbed, when the
demand for advanced wages is the loudest,
when strikes are the most frequent, when
hunger and misery are most rife In the homes
of tho poor, the saloon fourishes still. There
may be no bread at home, but there Is always
beer and whisky at the bar, and the. men
who consider themselves the victims OF cir
cumstances or the ''thralls" OF capital,
squander their earnings and spend their saw
ings in these dens. Can there be serious
labor question while this state of things con-

How to Wash FIanpels.

Three things are enemies of
fiannels: hot irons, hot water, and
the rubbing on of soap when wet;
these things it is that shrink, full,
and discolor flannels. Look the
garments over and rub soap on
soiled spots before wetting. Make
a warm suds, and add tablespoon
full of ammonia to a gallon of water.
Squeeze the garments with the
hands, but never rub them, least of
all upon the board,-put that out
of temptations way. Rinse in
water of the same temperature as
the first, till clean. Ifcolored, add
white vinegar to the last water, to
set the color. After wringing,
shake well and draw into shape;
dry quickly, pulling them into
shape as they dry. The wristlets
of vests and anklets of tights should
be stretched as narrow as possible,
to restore them to their natural
close fit; and the bag at the knees
and bulge at the elbows can be
pulled out. Take the garments
down while still damp, and press
with a warm irOn-neVer hOt-till
perfectly dry. In this way old
fiannels will be as soft and c0mfor-
table to wear as new ones.-Demo-

timistic enough to believe that
when this destitution, hunger and
woe have reached far enough God
will reveal to his children the fact
that obligation and duty to self
and loved ones is higher Obliga-
ton than all party politicians.
The logic of the empty pocket and
stomach will some day outweigh
the bowling of a subsidized press
and the specious pleadings of a
party politician. Some day, | know
not when, remote or near, the
people in the grandeur of their
might and majesty shall brush
these self-seekers aside and do
strict justice to all, and these
wrongs be righted by that piece of
white paper which executes the
sovereign's will. The continuous
depression in values cannot prevail
much longer without involving
every business interest, as well as
the toiling classes, in common
Jo.4n,,o4;o, rrho attitude MO boua
taken upon some of these great
questions is a dangerous one. 1t
produces unrest, dissatisfaction
and misery, those dainty viands
upon which anarchy feasts; and if
ever the hideous form of anarchy
finds foothOld in Que fair land the
money powers, the-subsidized press,
and the servile politicians are the
responsible promoters and foster
parents of anarchy. Anarchy will
never find Judgment in happy hearts
or in happy homes. 1t will never
find Judgment where labor meets its
lust reward and where production
is accorded a fair percentage of its
own products. I believe in Amer
lea for Americans; that our Con-
stitution is great and grand enough;
that the republic, designated and
founded by our forefathers, under
the blessings of God is ample for
the present wants, and that we do
not need to borrow either financial
or industrial economics, or social or
governmental systems from the
effete monarchies of the East.
And it is given me to appreciate
conditions and remediea as a priv

those truths which seem to ME so
self evident, and which in this
