all accounts this appearance is
general all over the country. In the
East they seem to hate us all the more
because we showed such strength and
made such a clean fight, 1t is no won
der that the crowd that furnished the
money feels so hateful toward u.s.
Heretofore, when they controlled the
nominations on both tickets, and we
voters had only Hobson's choice -
"Heads 1 win, tails you lose,' they ran
the Presidential campaigns quite
chesply, and they could afford to be
spsthetic. But this time, in order to
win, they had to "cough up" until they
felt it. And all this great host Of us
they have branded as dishonest, re-
pudistors, anarchists, and even luna
tics.
And they will have the job of gov
erning this Cantsnkerous mob. Dis
content will have to be stamped out or
Modified. No doubt they would pre-
fer the former method, but the latter
Is safer. If it is to be Modification, we
may rest assured 1t will not be by re-
storing to the people any lost right,
nor by absting by one whit the powers
of the exploiters of the people. The
trust, combines and corporations will
flourish as never before. "Of the in
crease of their government and peace
there hall be no end" Vested rights
will be safely guarded, though every
right of suffering humanity be sscri-
feed. Monopoly was on Hsnns's side
but primarily fighting for it's own self
ish interests. 1t put up the money
simply as an item of cost necessary at
the time in order to retain its own spe-
cisl privileges. To their mind it was
money well spent, because nothing else
could defeat Bryan, whose nomination
they had failed to prevent. Right glad
am / that we were able to compel them
to 60 to that expense, though thereby
we have incurred their cordial hatred.
They may feel like snnihilatlng us.
We standing menace to them, and
yet they will be compelled to per-
form the nsusesting task of mollify-
ing us. 1t will be necessary, perhaps,
to organize bureau Of modification.
But who will be its head? 1t will re.
quire rare genius to succeed.
All jokes aside, there is one thing l
fear. fear the conviction may fssten
itself upon the common mind that 1t is
no use to vote or fight against the
money power. measure others by
myself. l confess 1 do feel the pressure
Of this thought on my own mind. 1
hope this feeling may not become gen.
ersl. For when q majority yields to
this conviction, then will the throne of
plutocrscy be established In the land
and human liberty be an exile forever.

is proposed to even things up and
make property pay for It's protection,
all Sheol is let loose, and greed and av.

But the dlssenters from Democracy
begin to see the light and descry the
trouble ahead, as witness the cOnfes.
sion of CleVeland's new Secretary OF
the Interior (Frsncis), who In a recent
acknowledgment Of an invitation to a
festival of his new friends, the Repub-
llCsns, cOngrstulatOry of the result of
the election, says: "While / agree

legislation is not enacted to change the

And even Cleveland himself Is COM
PEELED to acknowledge the dangers that
spring from organized and privileged
wealth as complained Of by POpullsts
and Democrats alike, as follows:
Communism Is q hateful thing, 9

eminent. But the communism of
combined wealth and capital, the out.
growth of overWeening cupldity and
sel6shness, which inBidlOusly under
mine the justice and integrity of free
institutions, is no less dangerous than
the communism Of oppressed poverty
and toll, which, exsSpersted by injus-
tice and discomfort, attacks with wild
disorder the citadel of rule" CleVe-
land, as well as all readers of history,
knows full well that the; sristocrsCy Of
wealth has destroyed many republic

monopolles are bsttering away at the
bulWarks of American freedom.
But 1t was left for John DE Witt
Warner, late a Democratic mem.

upon whom the task seems to have
been imposed to reorgsnize the an

EVERYDAY HEROlSM.
Rigid Adherence to Truth and Daty 81
Any Cost.

Rigid Adherence to Truth and Duty ~
Any Cost.
A word should be said for the every.
day hero. So much has been said and
sung about the comparatively few peo-
pie whose rames are written upon the
worlds roll of honor, that we are at
times tempted to think they are the
only heroes worth talking about, for
getting that in the common, everyday
affairs of life the world needs continual
~ the stuff out of which heroes are
made.
When the majority OF men come to
understand and appreciate the value
of putting character and conduct into
the daily routine of life, and the i'm
portance of judging every act by the
standard of right and wrong, regardless
OF consequences, We shall have more OF
the kind of heroism that is always
admirable. 1t requires courage to meet
the rifle balls and shells on the field Of
battle. 1t takes greater courage to
quietly stand for the right when the
forces of evil march their alluring and
seducing armies upon the soul. The
conscientious performance OF life's COM
mon duties as in the sight OF God, the
resisting of every evil thought and de-
sire, the meeting of petty troubles and
universities in spirit of fortitude, tho
rigid adherence to principles Of honesty
and integrity, even when this course
may entail personal sacrifice Of wealth
or friendship or social position-in
short, faithfulness to truth and duty
at any COSTS the kind of heroism
that is most needed in the world to-day.
1t Is the merest folly to talk to man
about being n leader who has not
learned the meaning of self-control.
This is the great lesson we all need to
start with. "He that Is slow to anger
is better than the mighty; and he that
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh q
city,"
1t is encouraging to know that there
Is more of this common, everyday hero
ism In the world to-day than ever be-
fore. This steady struggle against sin,
this yearning after higher and purer
life, this growing sensitiveness Of con-
science in all matters regarding public
and private duty to God and man, this
increasing desire to test aud settle all
questions affecting society according
10 the Gospel of Christ-these are tho
symptoms and evidences of the secret
lcaven that Is leavening tho whole lump.
The best way, then. for nen to bring
in the heroic age is for each individual
to be true to his better self, ever seeking
to live up to the best light that God
has given him.-Young Mems Era.

PETTlCOATS THAT ARE BUSTLE1
French Idea That VIII do Away will
Small Waists.

Small Waists.
The latest vagary of fashion is found
in what may be described as the Fiji;
Island petticoat," and is a surprise to
even those who study fashions and are
prepared for startling innovations.
The best French designers have sent
over corset covers with two very full
ruffles below the waist line, instead Of
the ordinary close-titting plain finish
Each ruiile is of embroidered or plain
Hamburg edge, and is six to eight inchei
deep. One is placed above and over the
other, the upper one covering the tor
edge of the lower frill. When worn,
this corset cover looks like an abbre-
waited ballet skirt.
A most Objectionable feature of the
"Fiji petticoa" is the amount of room
it takes up below the waist line. Itpads
that part of woman's body that for
years she has sought to make appear az
small as possible.
Women who have spent many dollars
on physical culture teachers, and have
dieted to reduce their waist lines, will
hardly take kindly to this new dress de.
sign. One reason given for the de.
parture from the plain covering is that
the Fiji petticoat" will do away with
the summer girls necessity of wearing
a half dozen skirts in order to prevent
the skirts of their gauzy frocks from
clinging too closely.
Tor the heavier spring and summer
dresses there is sort of fore-and-aft
petticoat, made of haircloth and other
still goods, laid in double box plaits
1t is fully foot deep and gives the ap'
pearunce of an around-the-body hustle
1t may be that the slender-waisted
woman is to be driven out of fashion,
and that skirts will be worn ruflled from
hem to waist, as they were 10 years ago

Luck and Pluck.

UP.TO-DATE FARMER.
II Takes . Man OF Sense and Resources Il
Achieve success.

It Takes Man OF Sense and Resources TO
Achieve Success.
The fact Of the matter Is, that the
modern successful farmer is profess
sional man, in the very best sense Of
the term. The necessity for men Of
high intelligence and broad knowledge
is no greater In the professions" Is
we now speak of them, than in the
farming industry. The up-to-date
farmer must be, in a small degree,
scientific man. He can not draw sole
ly on his own experience for proper
methods any more than lawyer or
physician can. He must be familiar
with the theory as well as practice;
must be well-read in the best literature
of his class; must thoroughly know the
text books of his trade. Equipped with
both scientific and practical under
standing, the modern progressive farm
err is no ordinary, every day person. His
work is not only honorable, but one
that demands the brightest sort Of in
telligence for It's practice. There was
once time when people went into
farming because it was $50 easy" All
you had to do was to pillow and SOW and
reap. Nature took care OF the rest,
and the farmer was supposed to lead
an enviable life. Farmers sons are
made to learn their fathers business,
as the only available occupation for
men OF small intellects and little or no
mental cultivation.
All this is changed; stupid men are
no longer needed. Neither stupidity
nor ordinary ability can follow farm
ing without starvation. Mother Earth
refuses to yield her favors without
good deal of coaxing, and 1t
takes scientific man to coax her
successfully. The value of fertilizers;
the needs Of different soils to make
them productive; the proper rotation
of crops to renew the life Of land; the
care OF trees; the protection from the
various insects that infest them necesi
tating familiarity with the habits OF
such insects, the best modern methods
of butter and cheese-making, with the
mechanical skill neces sary to properly
manage the modern machinery OF tho
dairy; these are few Of the things the
farmer must know. In addition to the
great Information suggested in par

in close touch, he must have business

Nothing produced on the farm sells

Feed serves to maintain heat in the
