the mistress herself can't tell them apart

The hired girl, too, must be passionately
fond OF children and seemingly revel in
having them under foot from morning till

bread with butter and sugar on both sides.

AT REST.

AT REST.
Once there lived weary woman
Who vt home could never rest;
For familiar sights and faces
Made her feel 10 much spprest.
So she went to stay with strangers
In wonderful retreat,
Where she spent some golden moments,
Which her family to,led to meet.
with her ner 'es restored and strengthens,
She returned but as before,
Found that sweeping. busting, hopping
Were decidedly bore.
And she soon felt very tired
D SO tired! she was sure
That she needed just the quiet
To be found In some Rest Cure.
And ct length this weary woman
Brought It gradually to pass
That she rested, swe city rested,
I'LL telegram, alas!
Told her friends with cruel briefness
That the tired one was dead
Lack OF exercise, they tel us,
Was the cause" the message said.
At her grave. her hush and, grieving,
Tried bis sorrow 10 endure;
swell" he said, "she must be happy,
For she's at the best Rest Cure.

IT IS THE PEOPLES WAY.

The celebration of the founding OF
Cleveland, Ohio. 100 years ago, brought
thousands of people to that city, and
although it was not intended that the
event should partake of a political char
acter in any sense, there was demon
stration in honor OF Major Mckinley, who
was one of the speakers, that dwarfed the
real purpose of the gathering. After re-
viewing the mighty strides of the city in
recent years more especially, and giving
due honor to the heroism of the first set
tiers of Northern Ohio. the regular meet
ing adjourned when there was Spontan-
eous uprising of people of all parties to
show their appreciation of the splendid
character whom the Republican party had
chosen to lead the country out OF the
chaotic condition into which it unfor-
tunately had been inveigled by expert
mental economic theorists.
1t cannot be said that the demonstration
would have been timely under ordinary
circumstances, but when men rise up
freed from party allegiance and express
their satisfaction at seeing one in whom
they rely TO give new and positive empha-
sis to the Importance OF ever holding the
prosperity of Americans the paramount
duty, there need be no apology for show
ing forth their Americanism. In splendid
good taste Major Mckinley made no refer
ence whatever to the political contest
which is now engaging the attention of
the people, but the very fact that he stood
there the representative of true patriotism,
complete protection to American interests
and deep-rooted prosperity for all the
people, it was natural that political aifilia-
tions should be forgotten and that the
people should give expression of their
pleasure at seeing the man upon whom
they rely to bring back that tone, charac-
ter and independence to our institutions
which are their inheritance.

THE NEW FRESNO.
Fresno Republican.


The Valley Railroad is now but few miles
out OF Fresno, and it is expected that il viii be
completed TO the city limits within the next
three or four weeks. Already the towns TO the
north OF the San Joaquin River are beginning
to feel the beneficial effects of com mpetition and
reduced tariffs, and Fresno's transportation
vassalage to the Southern Pacific Company
soon wall be ended. The Valley road already
has made some important reductions in freight
charges to and from the towns which it
reaches and its complete tarif-sheet will soon
be issued. 1t Is announced that its schedule
Will make an average reduction of between 20
and 70 Per cent on all classes OF freight.
1t would be nearly impossible, and at any
rate there is no danger that anybody viii over
estimate the benefit which the valley viii re-

tion: II has been long time now that the

ABOUT FREE TRADE.

Notwithstanding wreck and ruin had
followed in the wake OF the Democratic
tariff act of 1876, the convention of 1856,
which nominated Buchanan, declared for
a still lower tariff, or, as the platform put
it. free seas and progressive free trade
throughout the world" Mr.. Buchanan
was elected and there Immediately fol-
lowed one of the worst commercial and
financial panics that ever visited this
country. 1t lasted four years and every
industry, business and financial establish
ment in the land suffered enormously. In
his last message, before giving way to Mr..
Lincoln, President Buchanan said: with
unsurpassed plenty in ali the productions
and in all the elements of natural wealth,
our manufacturers have suspended; our
public works are retarded; our private en-
terprises of different kinds are abandoned
and thousands of useful laborers are
thrown out of employment and reduced to
want. We have possessed all the elements
OF material wealth in rich abundance, and
yet, Notwithstanding all these advantages,
our country, in its monetary interests, is
in deplorable condition"
In his last message to Congress Mr..
Buchanan had the honesty to admit that
not only bad the free-trade policy of the
Democratic party failed to provide suffi-
cient revenue to maintain the Government
by over $1,000, 600, but that it had left
''unutterable misery and ruin' in its
wake. The next object lesson in Demo
cratic free trade is now before the people.
Between the retirement of Buchanan and
the election of Democratic President and
Congress, which came into power in 1893,
the country increased in population more
than 100 per cent and in material wealth
more than $4,000, 100000. Since the re-
peal OF the tariff act of 1890 the people
have had more than taste OF what the
Democratic party gave the country during
its administration from 1897 to 1861, but
what is called the new Democracy" is
now before the country asking to be COM
missioned to not only continue the old
party's tariff policy, hut to give the people
an uncertain and most doubtful monetary
system. This is nation of sovereigns,
and if they want the misery that was sent
upon them by Buchanan and Cleveland
poured out upon them in greater and in
more disastrous quantity let them shout
and vote for Bryan.

decrease. Some instances OF railroad extor-
ton which might be cited, and many OF which
heretofore have been cited, are SO outrageous
as 10 almost sound like fiction.
II may reasonably be expected that the ad-
vent OF the Valley Railroad will put an end to
this kind of thing. Nothing could have been
hoped from the Southern Pacific Company, for
It's representatives had testified that reduc-
lion OF per cent in single schedule meant
bankruptcy for it, and had they testified to
nothing of the kind the company's rules of
acton were known to include no provision for
reducing rates where competition did not
tied down to q condition of helplessness,
through which only occasionally flashed the
smoldering fires OF Indignation.
Rut now the change is at hand. Freight
tarins will be reduced from one-fifth to one
fourth, and such q change will put the people
OF the San Joaquin Valley on something like q
nvlng basis with the rest of the world. '"The
GOOD time, coming, which is almost here, it
was long, long, long on the way" With the
srriva. of the Valley road new era will dawn
for California's great central domain.

THE THIRD TICKET.
New Ynrk Snn.

We take the mass of Democrats to be too in
teliigent In their conceptions of Democratic
principles and too serious in their devotion to
the institutions of the United States to sulk
when the country is threatened by Democracy's
bitterest enemy, Populism. Refusing to vote
for Mckinley, the only effective enemy of the
Populists, and setting up second Democratic
ueket would be like withdrawing from the
nome army because of dissatisfaction with the
dress parade.
A third ticket might serve the personal COM
iort OF those whose hatred of Mckinley is
hotter than their love for this country. 1t
would be an ally, directly or indirectly. Of the
Populist ticket. Don't let any Democrat de-

LANDLORD ALTGELD.

Whatever else may be said of Altgeld it
cannot be said that he is careless or indif-
ferent in the management of his vast
estate. He Is reported to be worth $4,000,-
0G0, which is mostly invested in Chicago
improved real estate. Naturally, he has a
large rentroll, but there are people who
will be surprised when they are informed
that Mr.. Altgeld confines his free-silyer
coinage at 16 to / to the political side of
his life. The Unity block is one of the
most valuable Office and store buildings in
Chicago. 1t is true that it is owned by q
company. but Altgeld is the president of
the company and controls the majority of
the stock. There are many tenants, and
each one is required to sign lease, so as
to make sure that he is bound to the build
ing company.
1t now transpires that this great and
sincere advocate of silver coinage obliges
every tenant to obligate himself to pay his
rent 'in standard gold of the United
States" Thus is the low cunning and
double character of the man exposed
When playing upon the credulity of the
unthinking for personal political gain he
cries for free silver coinage and tells how
the ''goldbugs" are driving the poor into
still deeper poverty, and how their only
salvation lies in supporting himself and
his allies at the polls, but when it comes
to his private business affairs he is a
prince among 'goldbugs," even to the
extent of requiring renters of his property
to pay their rent In gold. Well, Altgeld
is a representative man Of the Bryan school
OF bimetallists, and unless the people rise in
their might and overthrow Altgeld, Bryan
and the new Democracy, they will prove
themselves to be unworthy of the rights of
freemen.
