RIOT OF HUNGRY RUSSIANS.

The city of Moscow witnessed terrible riot
at the coronation of the car, last Saturday.
The coronation of the car of Russia is the
greatest holiday that is observed in that coun-
try. 1t is time of feasting and revelry Pris-
on doors are opened and prisoners go free.
Many debts are cancelled, and peasants who
have been unable to pay their tribute (tax) to
the car are forgiven the debt.
The great plain in front of the palace was
prepared for the jubilee. Long, rough tables
were loaded with feast set for five hundred
thousand people. The day before the jubilee,
the plain was filled with people, and when the
sun arose on Saturday morning, there were
eight hundred. thousand people in and about the
city. They came in carriages, wagons, carts
and every conceivable conveyance. Some came
horseback and many thousands walked The
great mass of the multitude were ragged, dirty,
weary and emaciated from hunger. When the
time for feasting arrived, there was a mad rush
for the tables, the hungry, desperate people
for chance to get something to eat. The
weaker men, women and children were tramp
led under foot and crushed to death. One wo-
man gave birth to child and her life was lost
in the stampede, and all trace of the child was
lost Mounted policemen made herculean ef-
forts to quell the mob, but all to no purpose
the people were ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
it was useless to try to keep them back. One
of the mounted policemen was dragged from
his horse and trampled to death. 1t was hor-
rible scene, beggaring all description Those
who lost their lives number more than three
thousand and many more were injured.
Hunger makes beasts of human beings. The
laboring people of Russia are in deplorabe
condition. The system of government in that
country has made them slaves-aye, worse than
slaves. There is no indication of change for
the better.
The laboring people of America are rapidly
approaching the same condition. prominent
Republican of Garnett, who is beginning to
see the light, told us, the other day. that the
working people will soon be in the same condi-
ton as the Russian serfs. .
What are we, the people, doing to prevent
it? Voting the old-party tickets and keeping
the same old blood-sucking vampires at the
head of affairs will not do it. Clevelandsm
has shown us what it can do. McKinleyism
will do no better. Will we passively allow
present conditions TO take their course, or will
we awake and place the ship of state under the
command of officers who will guide her clear
of the breakers? Wake up! Think!

CONGRESS-.

The lobbies run this congress. The river
and harbor appropriation bill carries VS., ooo,-
600. Only two men in the house opposed the
bill in speeches, and only about fifty voted
against it. Huntington asked for clean steal
of $4,000, 900 for his Santa Monica harbor, and
came near getting it. 1t was STAYED off long
enough to pass through the hands of a COM
mission Huntington has hard time of it
not only has to buy members of congress, but
will have to buy commission; but the harbor
is worth all it will cost, as it is at the terminus
of one of Huntington's lines of railroads. Why
not give him the United States and be done
with it? Congress keeps dealing it ont by
piecemeal, when, if it would make lump job
of it, it would save Huntington lot of money
and trouble.

REPUBLICANS AND REVENUE.

The Republicans have made great howl
over the revenue of the government, and if
Judged by words alone, they would have to be
considered the only true friends poor, old Uncle
Sam ever had Unfortunately for them, how
ever, they are continually being offered chance
to aid the government, and they always refuse
to show their good faith. On Monday, as an
amendment to the cheese bill, it was proposed
to add IS cents barrel to the tax on beer.
This would bring in SIS, 900, 900 clear revenue
to the government, and some credulous persons
may have thought the Republicans would jump
at the chance. They did no such thing. They
denounced the tax as tax on the people-but
do not all taxes fall on the people? And is it
worse to tax an article of luxury like beer than
to tax an article of food like eese?-Kansas
City Times.
Let it be remembered, too, that John Sher-
man opposed the additional tax on beer-John
Sherman, who, only few days ago, said he
would tax tea, coffee, -everything-even
take the last shirt off the peoples backs, rather
than allow the credit of the country to suffer.
O, Consistency! where are you at?
M. w. WILKINS, of the New Charter, San
lose CAL, is making good fight against the
Infamous Loud bill, which, if it becomes law
will shut out from the mails all cheap litera-
ture-papers magazines and books. 1t is es-
pecially aimed at reform publications, large
number of which are now sent at second-class
rates. The originator of the bill claims that his
purpose is to make the postal department self
sustaining, but that is only blind. He has
two purposes, one of which is to cripple the re-
form movement, and the other to help express
companies, and practically place the postal bus
mess in the hands of private corporations. If
Mr.. Loud wants to reduce the expenditures of
the postal department and make it self-sustain-
ing, why did he not commence on the railroad
charges for carrying the mails? If the railroad
companies were compelled to haul the postal
cars at the same rate they haul their passenger
cars, there would be no deficiency in the postal
department. Let every reader of this write
personal letter to his ongressman-To-D DAY
asking him to oppose the Loud bill
HAVING appropriated much more money than
the country is likely to have for long time,
congress is now trying to devise some way to
increase taxation. Among other things, tax
on tea has been proposed. If at all familiar
with history, the members will recall the fact
that very serious disturbance was once Great
ed in this country by levying tax on tea. The
people prefer to get along with fewer naval
vessels, Notifications, high-saared officials and
Venezuelan commissions to paying any addl-
tional taxes until the half of their money which
has been taken away from them is restored

In an interview in Atlanta, Ca, Ben Tilman
said, the other day: "You Populists ask me
why didn't so with you, and why don't go
with you now. Where have you fellows got
that anybody should go with you? You think
you have moon, and that all you have to do
is to reach up and pull it down. Why don't
you all come down ont Of the clouds? If you
had remained in the old party, you would be
able to control it; but when you left the DEM
ocratic party, the element that opposed your
demands for relief just about counterbalanced
the meii who were in sympathy with you, and
who resolved to make the fight inside the lines.
Over in South Carolina, we made up our minds
not to split, but to stay right i'll the Democratic
party and capture it. Aud we did it. That is
why we have not the danger of being run over
by the gold-bug crowd" And we have Popu-
lists who are ready to throw up their hats and

DELOS WALKER.

weeks ago, the city council passed an ordinance
prohibiting the display of hashy theatrical pic
lures of '1eggy" girls and "sich" on the bill
boards, because they are indecent" A few
DAYS ago, one of the churches there discovered
itself short on cash to pay the preachers sal
ary, and it was decided to give an 'ankle show"
to raise the necessary cash to liquidate the IN
debtedness. This is the way the show was
conducted: The young men assembled in room,
a portion of which was curtained off, the cur
tain being some distance above the floor. AS
the young men sat there, looking toward the
curtain, damsel appeared just behind the cur
tain, her skirts raised so as to show her ankles.
Then the young men began bidding, the high
est bidder being allowed to take the damsel to
supper. After this couple had departed, an
other maiden appeared, raised her skirts and
showed her ankles, and the bidding begun
again. This performance continued until all
the young men were supplied. In other words,
the Young women exhibited their ankles Gin
the name of the Lord" OF course, the par
ents of these girls consented to this shameful
exhibit of their daughters charms. How long,
think you, can such things continue without
loss of modesty OIL the part of the girls? How
much worse would it be for the girls to partial
" disrobe and exhibit the upper portion of
their bodes-for pay, the money to go into the
treasury of the church? 1t is only step i'll the
downward direction Each girl who exhibited
her ankles must have lost some of her mod
estv. One step downward, and it is easier to
take the next step. After this the descent is
easy and rapid Can the church afford TO bar
ter away the modesty, and finally the virtue, OF
its fair young daughters in order that the pastor
might get his salary? Is there any Christian
ity in it? How much better are such church
members than the heather who never heard of
a God? Why not be consistent

Graftin9 and BUDDING.

The art of budding and graft
ing is a very simple one and any
body of 10 years, of average in-
telligence, can learn to do it sue
cessfully in one or two lessons.
Every farmers son should have
this knowledge. Having it is sure
to develop his taste for horticul-
ture and in the epd very materi-
ally improve the fruits of the
farm. A boy likes to experiment,
and he should have a chance to do
it in-this line. If the father can
not teach him, let him procure
the services of some one who can,
and while he is at it, teach the
daughters also. My father taught
me to graft when l was about 10
years old, and in my native vii

Grindin9 Grain for Stock.

The following conclusions have
been reaahed by the Illinois ex-
pertinent station, concerning the
advisability of grinding grain for
stock food; they are based upon
feeding experiments made through
a number of years. Grinding
grain frequently gives a profit and
this is especially true where small
are fed. Needing unground
wheat, either to CATTLE or hogs, is
Masteful, as a considerable per-
cehtage passes through the ami
mails undigested. If impracticable
to grind it, soaking is advisable.
The same is true of rye and oats.
Grinding corn, however, to- be fed
to either fattening cattle >Qr to
hogs, is\not generally profitable
for farmers. The animals Gan
grind it more cheaply than the
farmer. Crushing corn, especiS
ally where the ears are large,
seems more generally profitable in
cattle feeding. After corn has
become thoroughly dry, it is adj
visable to soak it before feeding.
Unless hogs folfpw the cattle
when they are fed playground corn,
there is much waste of undigested
kernels.

OF a new year, when the winter season
of close confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to

in good health, that the following facts

Hoods Sarsaparilla leads everything
in the way of medicines; that it ac-
