Tic Influence of Cnnricorn.

The sun entered Capricorn yesterday,
and will continue in the sign until Jan.
81 The children of Capricorn belong to
the class of great workers and thinkers,
philosophers and reasoners. They are
usually proud, high-minded and independ-
ont. They want to be recognized as the
head of any enterprise with which they
are connected, and it is difficult for them
TO ecOnomize in anything. They nave
great executive ability and will succeed
as managers, architects or teachers. un-
less modified by planetary Influences. the
traits OF the child of Capricorn are liable
to be disagrceable, on account of cXco5-
sive pride and a disposition to look with
disdain upon those in more humble walks
of life. OF children of Capricorn the an
cient astrologerS speak as follows: "a
son born when the Sun is in Capricorn
makcth the child soon angry, and light
hearted, but sometimes accompanying
himself with vile and suspicious persons.
Also he will be worried and distracted and
veXed with divers varianccs, the which
adversities he shall stoutly bear out and
sustain. He shall be ready to dye for the
love of some poor and simple maid. who
will at length cast him into some misfor-
tune or Sickness"
Persons born under this sign are liable
to stomach troubles.

Under False PretenseS.

We oppose John Wanamaker for tnl-
ted States senator for a number of rea-
suns-amonG them because he lacks eN-
perience in legislative Ways; becaus"
he is guilty hv acquiescenCe II not pS
connivance in most deSpicabie ana
un-Christian campaign of defamation
aimed at political opponent ana
worked along lines from which any de
cent man would instrctiNcly recon-;
and because ne stands publicly ar

ical methods narrowly escaping, ii not
actually indictable under the laws

But if in charity we assume in his
behalf that he regards any course as
justiiable in uolitics. how are we to
reconcile such a view With the lofty
and high-sounding pretensions that
are being made throughout the state in
his name ana interest? How can we
find justification for the sanctimonious
horror with which his principal ieut"n-
ants affect to view the Vaccinations
of that awful man. Senator Quay, or of
his equally awful protege Senator PEN
rose. when We know and the public
knows. that they are each and sever
ally tarrrd with far dirticr stick?
TIL fact of the whole matter, put in
plain words, is that the Wanamakcr
movement, from the moment OF its in
Ccpti0n down to the present, has been,
lin actuating impulse, Il campaign of
false pretences. First appealing to the
religious element through lying innu-
endo and covert accusation against

largest rallying funds in recent pol

There are honest men in great abun-

we predict that ere the campaign reach

An Honor Well Deserved.

1t is announced that when the leg
islature of Colorado shall assemble in
January it will accord to Henry NJ
Teller an honor without precedent in
American history, that of a unanimous
election. by the votes of members of all
political parties, to the United States
senate. The notable feature about this
honor is that it will come to Senator
Teller without the expenditure of a
dollar in campaign funds, without the
establishment of headquarters, and
without any of the usual paraphernalia
OF senatorial campaign. "it is divest-
ed says Denver letter. even of the
element of prospective PATRONAGE, for it
is generally conceded that Senator Tel
Ter will not have an office to bestow un-
der the next administration
We think it is within the limits of
truth to say that this conspicuous and.
as we are told. unprecedented. honor is
well deserved by Mr.. Teller. His long
service as public official is marked
by a degree of ability. honesty and con-
scientiousness very rare in public life:
even in his mistakes no one has ever
been able to question his sincerity or
wholly repress admiration for the in
flexible courage with which he has re-
mained true to Mis- convictions. II is
an honor To Colorado that she should
thus appreciate and reward his labors
in her behalf; and the example she
thus sets is one which several other
states might profitably follow

tic, and leaves its blight upon the en-

All this, we repeat, is freely conced-
ed. But the question arises, Can laws
be made which will go far enough to
remedy the farmers lot? Can we. for
example, prevent the international
overproduction of staple food products
in a good year. any more than we can
provide such International shortages
as appear in this year of partial IA
mine? Can we stop the progress of
the trolley and thus save the horse
and the hay market? Can we, for the
farmers sake, nullify by statute any
of the great and universal trade laws
which are at present slowly revolution
i2ing his industry and overthrowing
the simple standards OF pioneer times?
We fear not. But there are some
things which we can Go. and these

done. We can keep the American
market for the American producer,
We can to a large extent prevent dis
crimination and overcharginG by our
carriers of farm produce. We can
fight the trusts which prey on the Wit
ais of agriculture. And We can con-
tinue to expend money on the develop
ment of new foreign markets for our
farm produce as well as for our ma
chinery, under the operation OF trea-
ties of reciprocity. The remainder we
fear will depend largely on the farmer

Senator Quay's prediction as to the
outcome of the senatorial fight is not
ambiguous. He says: Mr.. Wana-

rounced and emphatic majority that
will not care to enter another contest
for some time to come. ThirtE-threo
out Of the forty-foUr members in the
Philadelphia delegation will vote
against him. lie will only get one
senator, Grouse. ana ten members from
the city. IN the state he will not have
more than tnirty-tlVe or forty votes,
and very likely less than that number.
In my opinion, PenrOse will have $50
votes out of the 2l5 in the Republican
caucus" The opposition knows Sena-
tor Quay's reputation as prophet.

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-01-18

The position of chief of fire depart
ment in a big city like Minneapolis,
with it's acres of valuable building
property, crossed by numerous railroad
lines and dotted with factories where
the fires are never banked" is one of
the utmost responsibility, and can be
entrusted only to man of unquestion-
ed character and ability.
August II. Runge, who has filled this
RESPONSIBLE position for several years
with so much credit to himself and to
the city, was born in New York in 1852,
where he received a common school
education.
What such a man as this has to say
can scarcely fail to carry weight with
it:
with the hope that what / say may
i'm some way be brought to the atten-
ton of others who, like myself, have
suffered without any apparent cause,
feel constrained to recite a brief tale
regarding an experience which l trust
may never be repeated in my case.
"a few months ago, owing doubtless
to the exacting nature of my duties as
head of the fire department, / began to
feel a sort of languor and listlessness,

good and / sleep well, and instead OF
an irksome grind my business is again

AS in the case of Fire Chief Runge,
the beginning of poor health is very
apt to rob one of the will power to start
Immediately about getting out of dan
ger. IT is this inertia of poor health
that makes an ordinary rundown
bodily condition so dangerous, and so
likely go on to something worse. Every
day IL is clearly shown that 1t won't
do to live tired-out, and on the verge
of breaking down. The languor and
the lack of strength are sure to In
crease.
Now is the time to throw of disease.
As the new year begins there are rev.
set hindrances to getting back strength
and sturdy health. The bracing wealth
err arouses a longing for health. Paine's
celery compound, taken now, does its
best service toward driving out disease
| and establishing firm health.
