MADE THEIR BOW
Continued from Sixth Page)

American people are tenants, and tina.
there were 5000 900, 900 mortgages. II
we add the mortgaged homes 70 the
rented, which virtually is the same,
sixty-five per cent Of our people are
tenants. While our people have ere
ated wealth without parallel on the one
hand, the homes of the producers OF
wealth have slipped from them at rate
uneQualled in past history. Another
indicat ton that points the course OF a
people is the great increased DoDula-
ton of the large cities in the last decade
AS the people are forced from their
homes in the rural districts they drift
to the large cities and become tenants
for we find a much greater per cent
of tenats in the large cities. for in
stance in New York City, ninety-three
per cent of the people are tenants. one
of the signs Of congestion of society.
! but we have on one hand wealth beyond
yond the dream of aVarice, while on
the other we have vice, crime, inmor-
atty, degradation appalling 10 contem-
plate. AS we look over past history we
find that wherever a people lost their
homes degeneration and national decay
has always followed. No nation of
homeless people can remain great any
length of time. While we are not only
becoming a nation Of tenants at a rate
beyond precedent, and the machinery is
completed for the deprivation Of the
balance Of their homes, the greater ma
jority Of the people approve OF the sys-
TEN and are in favor of its continuation
AS we contemplate the situation and
the seeming impossibility Of arousing
the people from their lethorgy, We can
but conclude that we have reached the
zenith and are now on the downward
course Once in a while a Daniel in
terprets the hand writing on the wall,
but little or no attention is paid 20 it.
A short time since Governor Fifer of
Illinois said: Just so certainly as
stand here, this government will fall
All things tend to wealth, wealth TO
luxury, luxury to weakness and weak
ness to laps" Past history justifies
this conclusion. Yet the American
people will sleep on while the politicians
of one party hurrah for tariff reform,
and those of another yell themselves
hoerse for reciprocity. Thus the dance
Of death will be continued. Already to
the careful discerner the sweat of death
is visible on the body polite The ex-
tremfties Of society are becoming rigid.
Every forerunner of revolution is mani
fest. The conditions of society are ripe,
mellow-ripe for change. The conditions
which effect our political, social and
moral ideas are manifest in all christ
endom. The future promises convul-
sions unequalled and unprecedented in
the past.
Lord Byron, after examining the his
tories of the nations that had gone be-
fore, exclaimed:
Here is the moral Of all human tales:
IT'S but the same rehearsal of the past.
First freedom and then glory-when
that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption, barbarism at
last,
And history with all her volume vast

The Attractions of the Texas Coursing
Company.
The entertainment given at the fair
ground the last three days Of last week
was novel and exciting. Though the
people here are familiar with the vigor
of the hunt, yet to have It brought back
as in days gone by, when the wilds
Were full Of big game" was enjoyable.
The chasing of the jack rabbits by the
grey hounds and the flight Of the deer
followed by deer hounds, the bucking
bronco-all the bills" We're successful
and full OF interest. Further east, where
hunting Is a lost sport, this show will
be an immense drawer. No entertain
ment could be more attractive in the
east. The gentlemen composing the
company are all pleasant men of high
standing in Texas. They keep their
private and public agreements, showing
keen desire that everything advertis-
ed shall be given in full. They have
seven deer, twenty-five grey hounds,
thirteen fox hounds, and now have a
stock Of over 100 jack rabbits, which are
supplied to them daily from the Pan
handle country. Besides, they have a
good lot of broncos. They travel In
their own special car. They go to
Wichita from here and then TO Kansas

Buckets. But No Grain.
A well-known citizen who resides in
Northwest Washington is patron OF

of the fact and accused him of it with
80 much directness that he could not

"You made $500 ON buckets in some

Certainly, dear. You see the war in
Cuba creates a great demand for buck.
cts, and there is a place where you can
give your orders and sell them again
at profit"
Nothing more was said, but the wife
concluded to make some money on
buckets and not let her husband know
it. In someway she learned the location
Of the bucket shop, and going down town
told who she was, and said:
II want 500 worth of buckets. The
same kind my husband bought"

said the proprietor, who did not want
To explain the operations OF the place.

The next day she appeared and was
uniformed that the buckets had been
bought and sold at 500 advance, but
that ths supply was exhausted and they
were going into the wheat and corn
business until more could be manufac,
