ALL TOO BUSY.

Though many hunger and thirst be-
cause treacherouS dealers deal treach-
erously with the people. yet there are
few who have time to consider the
wrong-doing.
One is ''too busy" with something.
another is "too busy with nothing.
One is 'too busy" chasing populari-
ty with the ignorant.
Another is too busy" erecting a
fabric of wealth that may dissolve in
a day.
Some are "too busy giving circula-
tion to lies and transformation.
Others are ''too busy" like Narcis-
sus, con contemplating their own shadow
in the water.
One is ''too busy' talking clap trap
about political party to get plum.
Another is "too busy listening and
wondering what a smart man" a GER
tain politician Is.
Others are too busy thinking
about dead issues and the dead past
to learn anything about the perilous
present.
And last, but not least, some are
''too busy" trying to save souls for the
next world, and making no effort to
save them in this.-Clarion Uondon.)

IDEAS MORE POTENT THAN
MAXIM GUNS.

What bundle of contradictions is
man! Strife seems to be the law of his
physical life; and on that plane he is
as much the victim of the rule of
struggle for existence and survival of
the strongest, as is the plant or the
animal. But at the same time he has
a spiritual life whose law is love and
self-sacrifice and unselishnesS. And
these two opposite tendencies war one
against the other, in every son and
daughter of Adam, in con flict which
Paul has so perfectly pictured. That
the spiritual is stronger than the ma
terial, that the unseen things which
are eternal shall yet triumph over the
seen that are temporal, that man is
growing upward with the slow cycling
Of the ages, from his lower to his
higher nature. l must believe. And
unless he does advance, the race will
pcrish.-EX

STAND BY THE OMAHA PLAT
FORM.
Southern Mercury.


Stand by your principles!
Don't wander off after strange gods
or new deluSlonS.
The fathers stood by the Declare
tion of Independence.
The duty of reformers is to stand by
this second de laration.
1t contains more political truth
than the old original declaration.
1t is designed to work out as radical
a reform, and bless the people with
equal potency ii well adhered to.
There never was a document con-
tanning an equal number of essential
truths, in so many words, written be-
fore.
The Omaha platform is the essence
of political truth. 1t contains the
best thoughts Of honest, earnest men.
1t is an inspiration, coming up out
OF much trlbulatOn Of the people; a
pure declara ton from the crucible of
thought, forced from minds burdened
with the njustice Of political cOndi-
tions.
The Omaha platform was not made
TO get in on. 1t was not made sub
ject to various cons tructonS. 1t was
not framed to deceive the people.
There is no straddle about it. 1t
says, in plain words, what it means,
and means what it says.
1t is a grand declaration of the
rights and demands of the people, land
contains the only doctrine where by
the people can be saved land the coun-
try can be restored to the condition
in which it was handed down from the
fathers. Stand by the Omaha plat
form, for on the triumph OF its decla-
rations depends the future glory of
the country, and the observation-disclosures
of the masses of the people from the
tyranny Of piutOcracy and trustee
racy 1t is lamp to the feet of the
weary;-a great rock in desert land.
Stand by the Omaha platform.

EVEN BANKERS PROTEST.

When bankers themselves protest
against bank methods, the offending
methods must certainly be of extraor-
binary character and fraught with
unusually evil tendency. A Chicago
daily of last Saturday contains the
following in reference to the contem-
plated bond issue:
1.-The heavy exports of gold formed
the topic OF conversation in the Chi
cago banks. There was, perhaps,
some indirect effect to be seen on the
Stock Exchange also. prices all being
lower there. Local bankers are much
interested and not little apprehen-
sive. AS rule they think another is
sue of bonds will probably be neces-
sary, and they see little hope of per-
manent benefit in such action.
I'VE have demOnstra ted" said an
officer Of the First National Bank,
that it is useless trying to stop the
working Of natural laws. We have
sold bonds abroad and tried to dam
up the gold we got in the Treasury.
Now we are started on the high road
to just where We were when that issue
Of bonds became necessary. I believe
there is no use trying by any such
means to keep up the TreaSurY'S stock
Of gold
sit would be better. it seems to me,
to make d large issue OF bonds and sell
them for legal tender notes. Ii the
Treasury absorbed $50, 600 or $780,
NOU, OO0 legal tenders it would be just
that much more difficult for gold ex-
porterS TO get legalS to exchange for
gold"
Instead of having the government
corner greenbacks to keep the robber
bond syndicate from getting hold Of
them, why not arrest the whole gang
for conspiracy against the govern
mcnt?
If there is no law to cover the case,
trot out an injunction.-Cnicago Sen

THE TELEGRAPH IN ENGLAND.


In 1870, under private ownership, T.,
100000 individual messages and 22,000,-
900 words of press dispatches were an
nually sent Now that the telegraph is
operated by the postoffice the annual
number Of individual messages sent is
70,0O0,O0 Cen times as many. and over
100000, 600 words Of press dispatches
(thirty times as many are used. This at
a glance demonstrates the overwhelming
benefit to the public of the change and
their appreciation of it.
The press rates have been reduced so
low that every weekly country paper can
afford to print the latest Geographic
dispatches as it goes to press, and-a tele-
graph or telephone is at every country
postoffice. In London the telegraph has
largely superseded the mail for all the
small and necessary details of life-to
announce that you are going to dine at
a certain house, or to inform your wife
that you are detained on business and
not to keep dinner waiting, and the like
over 10000 kilograms being sent daily
in that city alone.

There's an over-production of cotton,
An over-production of corn:
Too much Of everything is grown,
Too many people born.
A surplus yield of wheat and bread,
OF potatoes, oats and rye,
Hog, honiny, ham and eggs,
And homemade pumpkin-pie.
To much to eat, too much to wear,
And cattle on too many hills;
Too many agricultural tools,
Too many scrapers, plows and drill
There's surplus now of clothing,
OF every grade and kind;
Too many books and papers,
To much thought and mind
Too many men to do the work,
TOO many women to weep;
More daylight than the people need,
Too much night for sleep.
Of. Benedicts surplus,
An over-supply Of wives:
Too many birds and blossoms,
More bees than there are hives.
More sunshine and more shadow
Than is needed for the DELL
An production of grave stones,
More collins than will SELL
An over-production of ignorance,
A sight too many schools;
Too many poor, too many rich,
And lots too many fools.
