The resurrection is an interesting
bit of eschatology and philosophy; the

Every thing that aids man in his
upward aims, from the oatmeal need

demands, has interest and should be
studied, not for ones own selfish en-
joyment alone but that as a leader he

the people of nation rather than
elevate few to palatial residences,

civilization. This raises a question
for the ministry. AS skill and la Dor

many lapse into abject poverty
The temperance fanatic declares it
to be "whiskey." The drink does
ruin lives and homes. But no we'll
Informed person should be unfair
enough to attempt to palm off on an
intelligent public all this misery of
poverty as purely the result Of drink.
With many the 'drink came to drown
sorrow" afterward.
The question raised above demands
a larger stateSman-like knowledge of
economies, social science, civil govern
ment and related subjects, and the
manly ministry need not fear that
congregations will dwindle and die
should it emphasize topics suggested
by such studies; the hymonology will

A SENSIBLE LETTER.

is THERE ONE LAW FOR THE RICH AND
ANOTHER FOR THE POOR?
Editor Representative:
"A few weeks ago man rendered des-
perate by hunger, broke into a North
Side bakery and stole two loaves Of bread
for which he was promptly arrested and
sent to the Bridewell. Last week it was
ascertained that certain wealthy packers
at the stock yards had long been stealing
the city water The amount of the thefts
while it can never be definitely ascer-
tanned, is simply enormous, the present
estimates placing the aggregate at over
100000 gallons per day. The Union
Stock Yards and Transis Company, a cor
poration of immense wealth, has been do
ing the same thing. The enterprising
companies apologize for the theft and
state that the fact was unknown to any of
their officials or managers. Certain vic
ked workmen anxious to aid in the good
work of swelling the already fat divid-
ends of the various companies, made the
connections, stole the water, and very
discreetly said nothing about it. Of
course it is not expected that anyone will
believe these fairy stories"
The above is from the Chicago Journal
of Commerce, and shows with what i'm
punity the rich can and do disregard law
and how swiftly and heavily the iron
hand of law is laid upon the poor wretch
who should be so unfortunate as to be
compelled to steal a loaf of bread to sat-
isfy his hunger. 1t is often asked, ''Is
there one law for the rich and one for
the poor?" With this case and the thou
sands of others we have read, we are al
most forced to believe there is. This
poor, hungry devil stole perhaps three
pennies worth of bread, and got, in all
probability thirty days at the stone pile.
The other hungry devils, whose stealings
in this one matter of water alone amount
ed to over several thousand dollars daily,
will very likely be sent to congress or the
United Staets senate. You will hear peo-
pie tell you that the poor hungry wretch
was fool; that the others fellows were
sharp, shrewd, enerprising American
business men! You will hear people say
that. It will be the almost unanimous
verdict Yet we would say with the Jour-
nal of Commerce. We ought to be con-
sistent. Either release the poor man who
stole the bread, or send these wealthy
thieves to help him break stone''

HIS SECRET.

At last! l have been waiting,
A whole long evening through,
For thar little aggravating
Scrap Of nonsense they call Your
You have danced and you have flirted;
Through the waltz saw you fit;
While I sat there quit deserted,
And felt badly out of it.
But come! For I've been trying
For word with you, my dear;
I've secret l am dying
To whisper in your ear. lt u
Not here. All, here are only
A crowd and noise and glare,
There's a corner dim and lonely
In the hall, behind the stair.
Here where this palm will screen you;
For my secret is just this;
It is three days since I've seen you,
And I'm dying for kiss.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless inflamat ion
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi ton
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

"A REPLY III NIX. MABEN.
Editor Representative:
Dear Sir-You ask some one to answer
Mr.. G. B. Maben's comment on the
Omaha platform. Regarding the silver
question: do not think it necessary to ans
wer his article, as Mr. Maben, am sure,
feels ashamed of himself for writing up
his ignorance on that subject in that
style.
He admits that the coinage Of both gold
and silver in the United States is about
equal and is used at par in our home
trade at sixteen to- one. He does not say
why 16 ounces of silver should not be
worth as much as one ounce of gold, in
stead of, as at present, about thirty to
one. He does not say what he means by
sound money" Now I should like to
have him explain that question. There
is no reason why silver should not be as
sound" as gold; or why it should not
be used as a redemption money as we'll

he would prefer the greenback to either.
in transacting his business, if there was
enough of them to go around.
He says that there is about $500 600, 900
of gold coin in the United States, and
about $500,O00,000 in silver coin worth
$3.50, 0O0,0 900. With a stipulated security

about the redemption Of the greenbacks.
Such is the crisis of our country today.
under a scarce and high gold standard.
The Peoples Party, and the so-called
silverites or cranks, demand silver at
par with gold, and nothing less AS for
driving gold out it has been driven out to
such an extent (under a gold basis) that
Uncle Sam is obliged to borrow abroad
at premium. in order to keep the wheels
Of this great commonwealth moving. And
were our gold-bearing bonded foreign
debts paid there would not be gold coin
enough left to pay for Mr.. Maben's
breakfast. And all this was accomplished

MR.. MABEN'S VIEWS CRITICISED
Editor Representative:

MR.. MABEN'S VIEWS CRITICISED
Editor Representative:
l think most Populists will be rather
surprised at Mr. Maben's silver views
He seems very much afraid that gold
will be driven from circulation in case Of
free coinage. Now the facts are, gold is
being boarded till it is already PRACTICAL
ly out of circulation, and silver, which
Mr.. Maben thinks would be our only me-
dunn of exchange. is not real money at
present as it rests on gold, hence the
boarding of gold from circulation With
silver as redemption money, gold, instead
of being boarded, will only be driven in
circulation to Europe, thereby increasing
the European supply of gold and cheap
en1ng it to all parties who have to meet
gold obligations
Then our genuine primary silver money
will be unhoarded and circulate more
freely than does gold, our only primary
money at present. Give US free coinage
and we will have more unfettered money
In circulation at once than there is today,
with the prospects Of a pid expansion
Blmetal1Sm is easier to reach as a first
step than is an exclusive paper basis Bi-
metalism and paper both! An exclusive
paper basis seems no nearer than does
the government in the railroad and
banking business, with the railroads and
banks out of the governing business
when all parties will probably by mutual
agreement demonetize both metals by a
preferable use of paper based on govern
ment service.
Mr. Maben says silver is not demonetiz-
ed. In appearance it is not, while in re-
atty it is, and, if it was demonetized in
appearance, also, we would have return
ed to bimetalism long before this.
