Greed and cunning on one side, stupid Gre
dulity and headstrong folly on the other, have
ever been the causes of misery. Every rich
and powerful man that has lived has said IN
that hour when truth alone is uttered, the
hour of death, that the only real happiness he
ever enjoyed was when young, poor and striV-
ing. And who does not know that the hap
piest places on earth are the homes of the con-
tented poor?-Salem (or.) Statesman.
An industry that fourishes IN new States
and Territories whatever else may fail is the
grinding out of divorces. At one time the
Utah brand had great run; then South Da-
kota got the lead Now Oklahoma comes to the

tects our home labor, capital and markets, and
at the same time furnishes sufficient revenue
to pay all the expenses of the Government and
q sufficient amount in excess to gradually ex-
tinguish the National debt. In short, what we
want is the Mckinley law re-enacted. Phoenix

1t is evident that in the majority of the civil
lied nations of the world those free trade
theories, however logical and pretty they may
seem to be, must give way to what the ma
jority of the people know is for their best in
terests. "self-preservation the first law of ma

lated in this respect, 1T seems time to take on
somewhat of an exclusive air and look more
after the interests of citizens who are indi-
genous to the soil.-San Luis Obispo Breeze.
The American people have got too far away
from the principles laid down in our constitu-

them If our Republic is to stand.-Riverside
