OF COURSE IT WILL.

The Washington correspondent of
Sound Money says:
wall street means to make the
fight of its life in the coming election.
| have it Oh excellent authority that
Wall street is prepare TO put up any
thing even IL it comes to the millions,
in order to assure what they call
sound money candidate being nom-
mated on either a Republican or
Democratic ticket. Which man wins
matters nothing to them as long as he
will promise to support the GOldbugS
OF the East and the Wall street Shy
locks. He must not of course, be too
merican in his ideas, and must be
friendly with British bond-holders.
He must above all things give pledge
that he will not go to war with England
or any other gold holding power, under
any circumstances. He is to be will
ing to let America be sat upon first"
Very true; and the accurscd Money
power Of the U. S., will spend millions
more to breed distrust between the
Populsts and the Free-Silvertes and
prevent united action at St. Louis on
July %.
II knows that there is no hope Of
success. for the cause Of Reform, il it
can divide the Reformers into warning
factions.
What will our two or three millions
Of possible Peoples Party votes
amount to alone in a contest where
twelve million votes will be polled?
Let every man guard his utterances
carefully. Let kindness and good
will prevail on all sides.
And do not insist,as some are doing.
that the Free-Silverites must accept
every plank Of the Peoples Party
platform. The very idea of ha wing
two conventions is that men may vote
together who differ somewhat in their
opinions.
The two platforms Of the two con-
ntions will not be hostile to each
other, but one may possess planks
which the other does not.
This will be all the difference be.
tween the two wings of the great
army of Reform.
If we fail to unite at St. Louis the
results will be most disastrous--they
may be irremediable. Think how
many hundreds of thousands of good,
true, honest American citizens will be
driven out Of their homes, with their
families, and reduced to pauperism,
by mortgage foreclosures, and other
wise, if Plutocracy is to continue in
power for four years longer!
Think to what extremes the desper-
alton of the wretched may drive the
multitude;-to be followed, perhaps,
by repression. by standing armies and
radical changes in cur form of govern
ment. This may be our last national elec-
ton.
For Gods sake. friends, be patient
and tolerant with each other. Don't
claw each others faces. Every man
who opposes Pluttcracy is our friend,
our true and treasured friend, even if
he does not agree with us on every
public question. If he is ready to
fight the Gold Power that is enough.
We hope the misguided zeal of hon
est men will not unintentionably sup
plement the corruption funds of the
Money-power, to tear us to pieces, and
make success forever impossible.
Any victory, with any kind of allies,
is better than the continuance Of the
present terrible conditions.
That way lies hell.

Odds and Ends

Coffee stains on white goods should
be washed in warm water before plac-
ing in suds.
Coal will spend better, burn more
evenly and there will be fewer clink-
ers if II is sprinkled with salt.
Try boiling new tins for several hours
before food is put in them. Fill the
tins with water and boil friskly over
4 hot FIRE.
Sweeten old lard or butter jars and
meat crooks by filing them with very
hot lime water, and leaving them until
il is cold.
TO secure smooth and durable darn
in WOODEN stockings make the first
layer stout, coarse thread, and the
cross layers of wooden yarn.
Try cooling hot dish in hurry by
placing it in a vessel full of cOlu salty
water. 1t will cool much more rap
idly than if it stood in cold water free
from salt.
Pink and blue ginghams of Il wash
able make can be kept from fading by
washing in weak solution of vinegar
and water. Rinse in the same way,
and dry in the shade.
To prevent new paint brushes from
shedding bristles turn handle down,
open and spread the bristles, pour ia
tablespoonful or less of good varnish
and keep the brush in the same posi-
ton until ii dries.
When washing glassware do not put
it in hot water bottom first, rs ii will
be liable to crack from sudden expan-
sion. Even delicate glass can be safe
ly washed in very hot water if slipped
in edgewise.
Try applying Il little lard to the
hands when balsam of fir. varnish or
anything of that nature is to be re-
moved from them. After rubbing thor
oughly. with the lard, wash as usual
with warm water and soap.
A mother who is an authority on

member of the same company, on the

Saturday night The curtain had just
been rung down on the last act, when
the few in the audience who had not
reached the street heard loud talking.
swearing and blows exchanged followed
in quick succession by twelve shots. Po-
lice who heard the shots were soon on the
stage. West was found bleeding from
several wounds and Lang was endeavor-
ing 10 pack his trunk, the blood stream
ing from four bullet holes in his body.
The fight which was general one with
the members of the company. began by
Lang knocking down W. ID. Watson. the
manager. West endeavored To separate
the men. when he was also knocked down
and kicked several times by Lang. Joe
Conlan interfcred and was also struck by
Lang. West had gained his feet by this
time and ran To his dressing room. Lang
also went to his trunk and secured re-
volyer He returned just as West came
on the stage and fired one shot. The lat
ter threw up his hand and in quick sue
cessiOn six shots were fired. -Four of these
took effect in Lang'S body. one in the left
breast just above the heart The other
wounds are not of Il serious nature. One
shattered the bones of the left forearm.
one graZed the left shoulder and the
fourth ball made Il gaping wound on the
left side of the abdomen. His chances for
recovery are favorable. The trouble seems
to have arisen through jealousy of the
two comedians.

Straight Post and Rail Fence.

Farmers whose rail fences are be-
coming dilapidated can with some la
Dor and but little cost make them bet
ter than ever by taking down the
worm fence and using the best rails
10 make one in straight line. 1t will
need stakes on each side at the ends
of each rail driven into the ground, and
fastened with one or more wires near
the top. If only cattle and horses are
10 be kept in or out by the fence the
bottom rails can be laid twelve or fif-
teen inches from the ground. In this
position the rails will last longer than
If resting on the ground or on fiat
stone near it. Five or six rails. well
secured by stout stakes, will make q
fence that will keep most kinds Of
stock from getting over ii, though it
is best always to be sure. A barbed
wire at the top will prevent most stock
from making the attempt. The trOu-
bic with wire fences is that when
strung on posts without rails, an ami
NAL tlat is playing or running cannot
see tie wires until it becomes entan-
gled IN them, and then its efforts to
escape only make matters worse.

Drainage About Farm Dwellings,.

through underground conduits. t
must not be supposed, however, that
this is all the drainage that is re-

draining reaching to it, will save an
immense amount Of work in the house
from tracking in of mud. 1t is Il mis-
take to make the drains either from
the cellar or sink tight and closed at
the joints, as sewer pipes in cities are
laid. There is usually not great
amornt of offensive matter carried off

be less likely to clog if the water drain
ed from the soil is mixed with it. The
