NO WAR FOR HIM.

There is no event in history since
the coming of Jesus Christ that is
of more benefit to the human race
than will be the establishment OF a
court of international arbitration.
The efforts now putting forth to
secure this should be the object of
the devout prayer of every lover of
his fellOw-men. There are many
obstacles to overcome. Conserva-
tism is intrenched in military ideas
and will die hard the battle
against reason, common sense, and
humanity. Old ideas of martial
glory must fade. The pride of
national renown must be taught to
bow to universal justice. Great
leaders that owe their prestige to
the old order of things must be de-
posed. All this will take time. But
it will come. Public opinion is
slowly but surely living down the
cruel, senseless and false principles
from which alone spring the pos
sibility of war. Look over history.
Never was a nation that yielded
itself wholly to tae passion for
military conquest and glory that
did not 60 down. Persia, Greece and
Rome died of the suicide of war.
Military Spain and France were de-
feated by commercial Holland and
England. The wealthiest, happiest
nation on the globe is the only one
that spends more money on schools
than armies-the United States.
The jingoists of our congress who
contend for greater ornaments and
coast defenses are short-sighted,
when they are not demagogic,
statesmen. Our srfety lies in our
defenselesSness. To equip for war is
to invite war. There never was a
question permanently settled by
war alone. There never was an in
ternational question settled any
other way than by treaty to
peace. Why hot make the treaty
of peace before instead of after
war?-Rev. DR.. Crane of Chicago,
The full intensity of living Is
reached only by the perfectly
healthy. Sickness discounts the
capacity tor enjoyment. If his
body is all out of order and run
down, he will not be able to enjoy
anything, no matter how full of en-
ioyment it may be for other peo-
pie. If he is just little bit out OF
order, if he ''is not sick, but doesn't
feel Just right, he will only be able
to enjoy things in half-hearted
sort Of way. The nearer he is to
being perfectly well, the nearer will
his capacity for enjoyment be per-
feet. If this condition doesn't ex-
ist, something ought to be done.
That means, nine cases in ten, the
use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t works directly on the
digestive organs, and on the blood,
and through these on every tissue
of the body, 1t makes the appe-
tite good, digestion and nutrition
perfect, and supplies rich, red blood
to all the tissues, building up
healthful, solid flesh,

Tuesday next is to be an occasion of
great solemnity. While presidential
elections are sometimes regarded light
ly, there has been no event in the his
tory OF the country fraught with such
gravity and Importance as that in
which the voters are to participate
next Tuesday. The honor of the "a
ton, the employment Of the people, the
prosperity and happiness of your own
home are all at stake, and all may be
determined by the vote which you will
cast. Contrast your own employment
and that Of your neighbor with that of
four years ago. See how the acceptance
of democratic theories put into practice
has brought loss of employment and
loss of wages. Then remember that
the democracy now proposes to add to
this depressed condition another, which
would reduce the value OF the smaller
earnings which you now have and
consequently reduce your ability to
provide for your family. Think of these
things when you close the door behind
you In the voters booth on Tuesday.
Then vote for the man whose election
a n restoration of prosperity, OF
active employment, Of good wages, and
a continuation Of the use Of sound
and reliable currency.
, 1896-10-31

polls on Tuesday next should take an
inventory Of affairs at home. Count
up the number Of your children: see
what is the condition Of household af-
fairs: ask your wife how many new
dresses she had under democratic rule,
and whether she thinks she would like
present conditions continued another
four years. Then ask your wife and
children il they want your wages paid
in a kind OF money which will only
buy one-half as much as that you are
nov getting. Then contrast In your
own mind the conditions Of today with
those which prevailed before you went
to the polls in the last presidential cleo
ton. You will remember hat there
was employment for everybody at good
wages then, while there is employment
for but few at reduced wages now. Then
reflect whether you want to not only
continue this reduced rate of employ
ment at reduced wages, but to also re-
duce the value of the money in which
you are paid. Think OF all these things
before you cast your vote on Tuesday
next. 1t is your solemn duty-a duty
you owe to yourself. to your family.
and to your country.

THE BURNING QUESTION.

EMPLOYEES AS STOCKHOLDERS.
The plan instituted upon the main
line OF the Illinois Central railroad
some time ago by President Stuyvesant
Fish, allowing employees to purchase
stock Of the company and thus secure
a personal interest in the property, has
proved an unqualified success. Many
Of the employees have awaited them
selves of the opportunity, and good re-
suits are shown by the increased at
tention these men pay to their work and
the greater interest they take in the az
fairs OF the road. The same plan is now
being introduced by the company upon
the newly acquired Louisville line (for-
merly the Chesapeake, Ohio and South
westerly, with gratifying results. Cir
culars have been sent out, and many of
the employees are quick to take advan-
tage OF the favorable offer.
Under the terms shares CT stock, the
par value Of which is 500 and the pres
ent market value $92, a be purchased
on installments OF IS monthly. Four
per cent interest is paid upon deposits.
and the 5 per cent dividends are paid on
the stock, with prospects OF higher div
idends in the near future. Shares can
be bought outright in any number for
spot cash, but only one share at a time
is sold on the tnstallment plan. Presi-
dent Fish hopes soon to have a large
percentage Of the Illinois Central stock
owned by the employees Of the road.
