We are a band OF brothers.

Let them take their own dose and die

OF course those who would open the
safe when you are asleep: humans who
would delye into your private affairs,
Mr. Editor. when you were absent: a
human tool who would assess part of
a labOrer'S salary as conditioned EN-
ployment: who would in the name of
d master call on those recommended
for public service for $1,000 at one
dash. / say, Mr.. Editor, we are not
surprised that they now repudiate and
know not Cleveland, that they repu-
date Democracy as founded in ma
lures truth, and embrace the doctrines
of the Chicago commune. oh, their
master has taken the snuff
# they succeed in fOoling the peO-
pie. their master may be able to keep
them in fat places with no work and
large pay, but Grover vanishes and
other arrangements must be made.
We only refer to these poor tools
that their example have no influence
upon the honest masses of our people,
and that they engage not quacks or
selfish fakirS who do not relieve, but
rather aggravate and distress

Christmas Tree Ornaments.

Strings of silver and gilt balls and balls
of raw cotton make pretty and effective
decorations. Shrods of raw cotton may
also be sprinkled over the tree This does
very nicely to represent snow English
walnuts, either natural or gilded, may be
tied with ribbon and added to the other
materials. You cannot have too much.
Quantity rather than quality makes tree
beautiful. A dozen or more dolls, made
of bright colored tissue paper, should be
added if there are any little girls in the
house. Candy canes and sugar animals Of
every conceivable kind are always appreci-
ated by the youngsters.
