Leedy and the Veteran.

An effort is being made by the Re.
publican press to play upon the feel
lngs of the veterans because Of Mr..
LeedV's refusal to vote for a $9l, 900
appropriation for increased room at
the Soldiers Orphans Home. His vote
against that bill was given because he
believed the improvements unneces
ssry. herecords bear out his view Of
the case by showing that the number
of inmates is now but one In eX-
cess of the number when the ap-
propriati0n was asked for. This home
is not distinctively a soldiers orphans
home, either, as any orphan may be
admitted, but the law provides that
soldiers orphans shall have the prefer.
ence where 1t is necessary to deny sp-
pliCatlOn for admission.
The Senator's record on either Of the
bills affecting the interests Of the vet
er8nB should also be considered. On
page 936 Of the Journal Mr.. Leedy is
recorded as voting for the bill to sp'
propriate $9l 900 for supplies, ETC., for
the State Soldiers Home at Dodge
City. On page 292 his vote is recorded
In favor of the bill providing for a
Grand Army museum and for its main
tensnce. On page 430 his vote is re-
corded In favor Of bill exempting
from taxation real or personal prop
erty belonging to the G.. A. r, This
does not indicate that Senator LeedV is
inclined to disregard the feelings or
interests of the old soldier.

business affairs for the creditors Of an In

Charles A. Dana, editor Of the New York
Sun, Is especially bitter toward Bryan. and
contemptuously refers to him as the "Boy
Orator" Mr.. Dana was once "boy ora
tor" himself. That was when he was nine
years younger than Mr.. Bryan. He was
not pleading for the millionaire, the bond
holder, the gold syndicate then; he was
advocating Socialism and was the leading
lecturer Of the only Socialist society Of any
note In this country at that time. It was
then that he said: "The interest of the
lAb0ring man is not consulted In the ar
rapgement OF industry; but the whole ten
dency Of industry Is perpetually to disgrace
the laborer, TO grind him down and reduce
his wages. The stream all runs
into their rthe monopolists'l pockets, and
not one rill is suffered 10 run into the pOck-

Labor Vote Lining up Against Mckinley.

Labor Vote Lining up Against Mckinley.
The information received at National
headquarters shows that the labor vote
will probably vote more unitedly this
year than ever before. The efforts at
coercion and intimidation by the en-
ployers Of labor was never greater than
it is this year, and the manhood OF the
laboring man is now beginning to rebel
against his master, who, not satisfied
with making him an industrial slave, is
now trying to make him q political
vassal ALSO The gold people made an
appointment a few days ago for Powderly,
in Chicago, advertised him as a great
labor leader, and did everything in their
power to get the lsboring men out to
hear him. But the laboring people,
believing that Powderly was in the pay
Of their enemy, refused to 60 out to hear
him. He had only handful Of people
in a large opera house. Information is
received from number Of points where
emissRries are sent to talk to laboring
men in the interests Of the gold standard,
to the effect that the results OF all OF
these efforts have been to arouse the
manhood Of the lsboriDg men, and make
them come out boldly and declare tor

silver Catschigm In German.

The Farmers Voice has had such q
call for the Catechism in the German Ian
guage that they have decided to publish
It in that tongue. It has therefore been
translated and strengthened for German
readers by quotations from Prince Bis
marck and other German statesmen and
scholars, by Professor Theodore Gestefsld,
himself q well-informed bimetallist. This
is pronounced by German scholars to be
the most effective literature to put before
German voters, especially farmers. Being
scientific and non partisan, free from po-
litlcal claptrap, it Is convincing. II is an
eye-opener and will make votes.

SCANDIA, October 14.-Lsst Thurs.
day night Webb McNsl delivered one
of his characteristic speeches at this
place to q crowded house. Every word
was listened to with Wrspt attention,
especially that part Of his speech
which proved that the Republican
party up to within year or two was
for free silver. His remarks fortified
silver men In their beliefs aud set gold
men to thinking. McNSll drew q full

only nine miles away the same even

order to thoroughly overcome the op-
position and swell the free silver ma.

LRkin on October 10. The free silver
Republicans nominated the County
Attorney and Probate Judge and nom.

other county offices by the Democrats,
they nominating the candidates named
by the free silver Republicans. There
was q good proportion Of old soldiers
among the free silVer Republicans.
They are not afraid to have their pen.
sions paid in any kind of United States
money which is full legal tender. The
old men in the convention were all old
soldiers. The others were below mid

SAN BERNARDINO, March 21.-Less
than thirty days remain to redeem the
Nevada Southern from receivers and
sheriff's sales, which were made last
October for the sum of $306,208. Mayor
William d. Carlson, since the receiv-
er's sale, bought the right to redeem
the road of the corporation, and
he was in the city today look
up the records. He says before
the time expires he will pungle
up and put road in his vest pocket and
that there is plenty of capital behind
him to build road to Salt Lake. The
claim 10 made on the other hand that
the deed to Carlson is defective, 1t hav-
ing been signed only by the president
Of the road, Isaac L. Blake, and
not in conjunction with the secretary.
1t is further stated that the Nevada
Southern as corporation never
authorized Blake to transfer the prop
erty to Carlson. It is understood that
the purchasers Of the receivers sale
of the California and Eastern Railway
company are in the field and will be-
gin active construction of the road to
Salt Lake as soon as the time of re-
demption expires in case Carlson gets
left.

Of derailing rnd wrecking the train.
She evidently did it in spirit of re-
venge because the railway company
failed to remunerate her for COW

THE SHRIMP

The schrimp ia a scavenger; it will
eat almost anything. It is greedy
creature; it may often be seen in aquar-
ium tanks to seize a piece of food
weighing more than itself. If this scrap
should be lying on the bottom, the
shrimp with it's first effort upon swoop-
ing down upon it might raise it clear
and then be compelled to drop 1t, or to
sink with it again to the bottom, there
to attack it peacemeal. The shrimp Ia
often put in aquarium tanks to hclp
keep them clean; it seeks out and eats
neglected scraps and little bits of food
put in for other marine animals, but
which the others may have missed
and which have settled down in
crevices or other by-places. But while
the shrimp is thus useful as scaven-
ger, it is necessary at feeding time to
see that it does not get also the food
intended for the other animals; the
shrimp is exceedingly quick In move
ment, and it may dart down and seize
the food out of the grip of an animal
much larger than itself, and it would
be equally ready to take food from the
helpless sea anemone or the fighting
crab. A tiny shrimp would not for q
moment hesitate to feed upon dead
fish held in the grasp of lobster,
trusting in its agility to escape if the
lobster should resent the intrusion.
But while the shrimp is able to and
does hold it's own remarkably we'll for
one OF it's size, life is by no means all
plain sailing for it; there are other
creatures of the sea that are quite as
