human complaint, but elephants have
monopoly on those hung at both

food Just where it ought to pe. and the
tongue simply keeps it moving from

They Aren't Socialists, Ye Knaw.

We, the people of Butte, don't
believe in owning our own water
plant; no, certainly not-that
would be n-American, foreign,
socialistic-so we have private
monopoly to take care of it, so we
do. A small house with one hy-
drant has to pay only S1.50 a
month; the water is first rate now,
as it is winter, but in summer time
if one leaves bucket full in the
house the stencil reminds one of
its presence, SO one puts it outside.
Teams went around with tanks and
sold drinking water at five cents a
bucket to the people who had to
pay SIS a month-but then they
were not socialists! Butte went
strong republican last fall to get
free silver at a ratio of 40 to 1, as
this is silvcr-producing state. We
had an explosion here on January
Is, killing 60 people-all working
people; powder was stored in city
limits, contrary to law by rich
companies, and coroner's jury said
they were to blame!-isn't that fear
full punishment to say they were tO
blame! There are quite few
people here that think if it had
been poor man who had stored
the powder against the law and
sixty rich people had been killed,
it would have been different-but
then people who think this way are
socialists or peoples party cranks,
etc. WAGE SLAVE.

So you think politics has moth
ing to do with your wages or chance
of getting employment, or your
debts or poverty, ehl The banker
tells you SO. The politician tells
you so. The monopolist tells you
so. The people who live well and
do nothing tell you SO. Isn't it
funny that all of these people are
of one mindl All these peO-
pie live off of somebody. Do you
know who that somebody is? ALI
these people are anxious about the
elections. Do you ever ask your
self whya If politics has nothing
to do with you why are they so in
terested! Do you think they are
fools to spend their time and mon
ey on something there is nothing
in for them! And if there is some
thing in it for them, who pays that
something's Why can't you see u
little bit under the surfacel Have
they trained you like soldier So
you can't think but obey orderss
Why are they SO anxious that you
don't vote with the cranks9 Why
all this solicitude! Politics has
everything to do with your wages
and employment. 1t can render
millions of you idle SO you will
have to work cheap, or it can have
all of you busy getting blg wages.
They don't want you to find this
out. They want you for 3 voting
machine to help them live in luxu-
ry and power. And you've been
doing it. Don't read up on the
money problem-you might learn
something and not be so docile as

Peoples Party Platform.

i. We demand national cur
rency of sound and flexible, is
sued by the general government
only, a full legal tender for all debt
public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corpora
tions; ajust, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the
people, at tax not exceeding 2 per
cent, be provided, as set forth in
the sub-treasury plan of the Farm
ers' Alliance, or some better system
also by payments in discharge OF
. its obligations for public improve
ments.
a. We demand free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to L.
b. We demand that the amount
of circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
c. We demand a graduate. n.
come tax.
d. We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible in the hands OF
the people, and hence we demand
that all State and national revenue
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, eco
nomically and honestly administer
ed.
G. We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the
government for the safe deposit OF
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
2. Transportation being means
of exchange and public necessity,
the government should own and
operate the railroads in the inter
est of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the post Office system, being a
necessity for the transportation of
news, should be owned and opera
ted by the government IN the In
terest of the people.
3. The land, including all the
national resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people, and
should not be mOnopolized for spec
ulative purposes, aud alien owner
ship of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess OF
their actual needs, and all lands
now owned by aliens, should be re-
claimed by the government and
held for actual settlers.

Democratic Thoughts.

The Sentinel, Democrat, pub
lished in Washington, d. G. says:
Congress has adjourned. Both
Houses hereafter will be Republi
can. Who should have thought
this after the great victory of 1892!
Had Bourke Cochran died after
making his midnight speech at the
Chicago national convention, he
would be now regarded as a saint
for what he said then has been full
filled.
''But what a miserable crowd
was that over two-thirds majority
of the last House! Had there
been but one man of courage and
brains opposing the undemocratic
usurpatiohs of the white house, he
would be now the leading man in
the country. But there was not
one in that Democratic Gomorrha.
"And the Senate! How those
grave senators obeyed the crack of
the whip from the white house!
Even the Republicans were either
towards or blockheads or else that
German amendment to supply the
treasury with a hundred million
dollars of treasury certificates to
make another syndicate bond sale
impossible, would have been pass
en-. But Mr.. Cleveland said no!
As a consequence another syndi-
cate bond sale will take place in
September.
"What chance there was for
German! He started well, but
SHE'D before crossing the bridge.
We would have died first before
withdrawing that amendment!
eve first met Mr.. German some
thirty years ago at the house of
Stephen A. Douglass. Had he
had last week the spirit of the
Little Giant the syndicate specu-
lation and money making would
have ended at once. Still he de-
serves credit that he at last under
stood and pointed out the iniquity.
"For the first time in the histo-
ry of the country the president was
not at the capitol when Congress
adjourned. Bills needing his sig
niture had to be sent to the white
house nearly two miles off. Per
haps the Gar of Russia or the
Sultan would have done the same.
"Why did he stay away! That
query will be answered by another
one: Why did he next morning
take French leave! Why conceal
that he wanted to go fishing and
hunting! Emperors in Europe dc
not treat their subjects so despica-
bly,. They let them know when
they want to leave town in order to
save them an unnecessary call.
Not all of the hundreds of Demo
Gratis who did call on the morning
of the fifth wanted Office. But Mr..
Cleveland evidently does not think
much of the democrats.
"What a nice democratic party
that is, No wonder that in less
than three years the people have
got tired of it."

for the Yokohama Specie Bank, is in
this city. In speaking Of possible inter-
ence of foreign powers with the treaty
between China and Japan, he said:
Russia is the only country that
would really wish to interfere, but
before she could get on fighting
ground, Japan could put up the hard
est kind Of resistance. Russia has,
perhaps, 10000 troops in Eastern ST.
IBERIA, but it would take a hundred
transports forty days TO take $4,000
would have O hard time Guiding tor
pedo fleets commanding Formosa
Channel, now completely under con-
troll of Japan. Japan is the only
country with actual battle experience
in handling the latest engines OF war
fare, and the crews of her BOATS would
joyously go to Certain death If they
thought they could thereby hinder an
enemy to their country. Japan could
call into the field inside OF q month
the active list, the first and second
retired lists, and the military police
making 100000 trained and equipped
fighters. Besides, there are 10000 old
style fighters.
"Were the Emperor to speak the
word, the old feudal spirit, Yamato
Damashii,' would blaze forth fiercely.
Any ministry that listened to Russia
would be lost In storm of the peoples
rage, and the opening of the Diet
would bring forth a ministry holding
sentiments of the people approved,
and there would be such war that
Russia would have to yield"

MATERIALS FOR EMBROIDERY
It IL Poor Economy to Use Inferior
StufRs and Silks.

It IL Poor Economy to Use Inferior
Stuffs and Silks.
The first rule to be observed In the
selection of materials for embroidery
is that they be suited to the particular
purpose for which they are destined;
then, also, it is imperative that they be
Of good quality. 1t is the worst kind
Of economy that grudges the necessary
outlay for good foundation, while to
work with inferior silks means failure,
with loss of time and temper. The
most suitable foundation is a fine round
thread linen Of sufficient weight to lie
smoothly in place. If sheer linen is
preferred the use of 1t is quite permits
sible The effect will be found little
more dressy for special occasions, but
It is desirable to afflx it, when finished,
to an underlying mat Of colored silk or
satin harmonizing with the tones Of the
design. It may here be noted that 1t Is
never we'll to fold linen centerpieces,
for the creases will invariably show
and prevent the perfect flatness when
laid out which is essential to show of
the beauty Of the needlework. Flo
selle is the best kind of silk for this
class of work. 1t is composed OF six
strands; these should be separated, and
for the fine work under consideration
only one strand should be used for
working the flowers, while for the stems
and some of thu larger leaves of the
foliage two strands may be taken. All
the work is to be executed in the simple
Kensington stitch popularity known as
the long and short stitch, says the
Ladies' Home Journal. The great art
in working is to make the direction Of
the stitches imperceptibly follow the
form that is being filled in. Where the
curves are somewhat sudden very short
stitches must be taken. Sometimes 1t
is even we'll to split single strand Of
silk in doing this to avoid even sug-
gestion Of clumsiness.

Nevertheless the Overcoat Transaction
Was Perfectly Legitimate.
A robust young man, wearing thick
terra Gotta overcoat, and somewhat
consumptive-looking companion, minus
an overcoat, left well-known Chestnut
street cafe together at late hour on
Saturday night, says the Philadelphia
Record. The former generously ten
dered his warm outer garment to his
shivering companion, who gratefully
accepted it for the walk home. On turn
ing the corner Of Sixteenth and Locust
streets the pair were closely scrutinized
by a big policeman. Arrived at his
home, the thin man returned the coat
to his stout friend, and the latter start
ed back toward his hotel on Broad
street. When he reached the corner Of
Sixteenth street the policeman grabbed
him. Pretty slick guy, you are!" he
claimed; "but I'm on to that little over
coat racket. guess you got his pocket
book, too"
what do you mean, sir?" demanded
the indignant citizen. "You just take
ride to the station-house," mildly urged
the cop, "and tellthe sergeant how you
managed to get into that other mans
overcoat."
Protestations were in vain. The mad
man, with the terra-cotta overcoat, had
to submit, and only the presence Of his
thin friend, whom he promptly sent
for, saved him from a cell.

The place was suited to such ORR

members of a family. Possibly the
precaution was an evidence of his af-

Was he not wise to thus protect her

He opened the orange and ate it with
