THE civil service reform law might
operate very well and efficiently in
monarchical countries, where there are
privileged classes, but that it does not,
and cannot, from the necessity OF the
case, do so here, where the popular
feeling is that no man is better than
his fellows, and that every office holder
must, after few years, return to the
body of the people from which he was
taken, is plain to all familiar with the
institutions Of the country, and whose
understanding of human nature is cor
rect. Free silver and an income tax
are unquestionably popular, but the re
peal of the civil service law would ap-
peal to the selfish, but natural, feelings
of men, and as vote getting measure
would beat both the others "all hol-
low" If the national democratic con.
veution shall include it in its platform
the success of its nominee, bad as the
prospects of the party now are, would
be assured.

Do you want to see your home town
and community grow and prosper? If
you do there are many ways in which
you can help it along that won't cost
you cent. You can buy your goods
from your home merchant, you can
patronize your home blacksmith, tin
smith, carpenter, etc. Every dol
lar you spend at home for things you
need and must have, helps to build up
your town. The money stays within
your reach and you stand a few
chances of getting to handle it again.
Patronize home people and home in
stitutions and last, but by no means
least, patronize your home paper, par
ticularly when it guards your every
interest in manly manner. Read it,
advertise in it and you will make
money out of it in the end. Give it
your moral support, speak good
word for it when you can and try to
induce others to support it. The true
home paper never loses an opportunity
to advance your interests and the in
terests OF your town and you should
sometimes try to return the favor.

Did you ever figure, asks the St. Louis

bridge in two days. The exact figures
are as follows: The metal in 200, 900,
600 silver dollars will weigh upwards
of 5000 tons! To move this mass Of
metal across the country would re
quire SO freight trains Of ten cars each,
each carrying eleven tons of silver.
