intelligent citizenship To have this
we must have free press, with brains

intelligent citizenship. To have this
we must have free press, with brains
and craftsmanship at the head, not
bought and bribed and dominated
by party lash, bu. governed by pa.
trotism, intelligence and sense of right,
instructing the people honestly and
impartialy on the great governmental
questions Of the day. The common
: people are beginning to think more
than ever on the government ques-
tions; they are beginning to doubt, in
vestigate and examine, and the time is
coming and ought quickly to come.
when the masses of the people will
cease to be driven into line by party
lash welded by corrupt, selfish aud de-
signing politicians.
If should make Il cartoon of the
government of the United States
would picture Uncle Sam standing
with his hands thrown up saying:
"Anything you want, gentlemen" to
the liquor king with his gun presented
on the right and the money king with
his gun presented on the left. Money
and whiskey have got the politicians,
and the politicians have got the gov
ernment. My hope has always been
in the people. l have never had any
hope in politician except as he feared
the people and acted for the people.
People are aroused from one end of
this country to the other, and well
they may be, and the politicians may
look to hear thunder before long.
Party lines are broken; the people
are thinking independently and the
time has passed when little pot poll
tician can take drink out of his flask
and yell Jeffersonian Democracy few
times and call the Democrats into line,
hitch them to his little wagon, crack
his party whip and ride into Office.
This country is bigger than any politi-
cal party. Political parties have died
and the country has lived. and some
more can die and the country will be
better off by their death.

Rev. Sam. Jones on Politics.

"For the past twenty years the rank
and file of citizens have given very
little attention to politics. Our rapid
ly developing country, the various
commercial and agricultural interests
have commanded their attention, and
every man has been busy with his own
affairs watching his opportunities in
the business world. We have literally
turned the governmental machine
over to the politicians, and for years
the professional politicians and trick
sters have manipulated thing to suit
themselves, and ali they had to do was
to write out their platform and write
Democratic or Republican above it,
crack the whip and the people fell into
line. As long as the old governmental
COW gave milk enough for the family
nobody cared how many calves sucked,
hut when there was not milk enough
to go in the coffee the question was
raised. The people have attended to
their own personal business and have
turned governmental affairs over to
pot politicians and tricksters until the
government of the United States is
literally in the hands OF II set OF po'iti-
cal stealers and government robbers.
The only question the average poll
tician of to-day asks is: "What plank
and what men will capture the most
votes?" The vote hunter has made
prnspriations whers's -he could cap
Azure vote; .iid every fellow who got
scared at the sight of soldier or
gun during the war, or who had bad
cold or stumped his toe, has got his
pension and has gone to town to whit
tie white pine. The question now is
how to get public pap to suck.
When the Democratic calves are suck
ing, the Republican calves stand
around the lot and bawl When the
national election opens and turns out
the Democratic calves every little Re
publican calf rushes in, grabs teat,
shakes his tail and goes to sucking.
The people looking on the depleted
treasury, gazing on their property re-
duced to one half its value. putting
their grain and stock on the market at
half price, pouring their hard earned
money into the depleted treasury of
the United States, in heavy taxes, are
beginning to look square in the face
the question of the absolute bankruptcy
of the United States unless something
is done. They have waited four years
on wrangling congress, cross lifting
with each other and the president,
and bringing no relief They have
stuck to old party lines till hope has
died within their bosom, and now al.
most every thoughtful citizen of the
United States has got his ears back and
y prepared to kick the filling out of
eny fellow that crack party whip
over him.
3 The old party lines are fading out

brains and common sense of the com.
mon people; organizing on oasis to

one-half Of the total crop was shipped

PARKHURsT GROWS DRAMATIC.
He Denounces Things Blindly But
Refuses to Tell What He
Means.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The Rev
Charles II. Parkhurst created a
sensation in his sermon by prac.
tically libelling as rascally body
of clergymen, unnamed. He
preached upon the subject of sin
and during the first part Of his
discourse kept himself upon the
theme of individual sins Of the or.
binary style, but there was nothing
startling in his remarks.
Then he branched upon the sins
of society at large and it became
apparent to the congregation that
he had something concealed up his
sleeve. This was indicated when
he declared that crowds have no
conscience. Corporations are said
to have no souls, no cOnSciences.
This is true and a crowd has no
conscience.
At this point he hesitated as if
in doubt whether to continue on
the line he intended. After brief
pause, however, he remarked:
81 will give you an illustration"
and again he halted.
"lf you were to put a certain
sum-" he went on, ain the hands of
one. man, one christian man, for
any particular purpose that man
has a conscience. He would be re-
sponsible to the donor and to his
own conscience"
Another break followed this dis
course and every ear in the con-
gregatiOn was strained to hear
what would follow.
"But with a crowd it is different.
A crowd has no conscience.
"But to the point; short time
ago money was raised and placed in
the hands of a certain body of men,
mostly clergymen and elders. This
body of men voted to apply this
money, and it was applied to a
purpose that was diStasteful to
nearly all the donors.
'If one man had done that he
would have been a rascal, but no
one man had done what was done,
and a crowd has no conscience"
No words were lost upon the con-
gregation. Elders and officials of
the church looked at each other
with vague and puzzled express
siOns. No one could tell what he
meant and the Doctor declined to
be interviewed.

A SKATING SCARE.
Narrow Escape of Seven Skaters
From Drowning at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Seven skaters
were face to face with death in the
treacherOus waters of Lake Michi-
gan, and but for the presence Of
Frank Fountain, captain of the
life saving station, would have
gone to the bottom of the lake.
The seven youthts, none over twen-
ty years of age, with about fifty
other men and boys and several
girls, were skating on the ice back
of the government breakwater,
about two miles from shore, when
huge section of ice broke away
from the main field, forming foe
almost square in shape. On this
were the seven skaters. Almost
before the boys realized what had
happened the gap between the
solid ice and the foe widened to
about fifty feet and was receding
further and further, blown by the
fury of the wind at a speed of one
hundred feet a minute. Captain
Fountain jumped into his boat and
at once rOwed to the edge Of the
foe, which was fully 300 feet away
from the pier when he reached it..
To add to the horror of the situa-
ton, under the fierce gusts of wiud
and the rocking motion of the
water, the ice began to crack and
by the time the Captain was at the
nearest edge the huge square had
split into dozen pieces, and each
section of the pieces was growing
smaller and more dangerous for
the skaters to retain fOOthOlds
upon, who were now thoroughly
frightened and began yelling luSti-
ly for help.
Rowing his boat broadside along
the nearest section of the floating
ice, on which were three boys,
Fountain shouted to them to stand
as close as they could and leap to
the boat. In this way the skaters
were rescued one by one, not, how
ever, until some of them had been
drenched in the icy water and all
had been thoroughly frightened.

cent Fellow For a Count.


New YORK, Feb. 1S.-The most
noticed guest at the Waldorf is the

to marry Miss Anna Gould. He

curly hair. He dresses like a
thoroughbred Partisan. Count
Castellano is willing to talk to
newspaper men. He speaks the
English language well but with a
French accent. The publicity
which has been given to his pro-
jected marriage is distasteful to
him. He said last night: 81 came
to this country for sport, shooting
and riding. visited Newport and
was delighted with the place. l
stayed there for long time and
then went to Colorado and got back
here in time to enjoy riding to the
hounds OF the Meadow Hill hunt

gan will perform the ceremony.

Edging on Guatemala

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-A dispatch
to the World from Guatemala
says:
Lieutenant infested, the leader
of the Anti-Mexican party, is sus-
pected of urging President Barrios
to take a firmer stand against
President DiaZ. Mexico's claims
for indemnity are not likely to be
allowed except for property des-
troyed by Guatemalan soldiers in
their last excursion into Mexico.
1t is believed here that the United
States will never allow Mexico to
annex any part Of Guatemala's ter
ritory. President Barrios declares
that he has no intention of dissolv-
ing the national assembly, as a
prelude to assuming the dictator
ship. He says he is maintaining
strictly pacific policy towards all
other countries.
