Put Out a Fire with Vinegar.

Water has been such a scarce article
around Kokomo, Ind, that resisting
tires has been almost impossible outside
of the cities and larger towns. The
other night the large farmhouse of A.
S. Mccormack nea Rockville, west of
there, took fire. Being no water on the
place, the farm hands and neighbors
fought the flames with vinegar and
cider, a number of barrels of which

a new material for trunks Il much

ingly light in weight, while its resist
nnce is equal to several layers of tho
best sole leather. IA combination &c
strong linen canvas, with interviewer
cane, is very cleverly applied for the
manufacture of trunks. The straps Of
cane used in the material are about
one eighth of an inch wide, while only
a tribe less than a sixteenth Of an inch
N thickness. They are interviewer so
closely into the double flax cover that
they form an elastic surface capable of
considerable resistance, and superior
both in fexibility anddensity toleather.
The trunks made of this material are
considerably lighter than leather
trunks, and are much more pleasant to
handle than the old wooden trunk. For
travelling in Europe they are particu-
larly advantageous, as they will save
their cost in excess baggage in a short
time.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Perfumes are now extensively man
ufactured in the United States, and the
native articles are said by experts to
compare favorably with foreign manu-
features.
England manufactures perfumes
on a very large scale, importing many OF
the materials from other countries,
but also making large use of home
grown herbs and flowers.
Many woods have sugar and gum in
their composition, and the presence OF

the attraction the wood seems to have
for many kinds Of insects.

Did YOU ever think how much OF the
"swag" that corporations bleed the peO-
nile for goes into the purse of the daily
press? A railroad manager once said,
speaking of the eXtravagant sums
which the railroads pay to the great
dailies-for advertising, of course
that it was an infamous outrage, and
vet" said he, 1T is the best invest
ment of money that the company could
make" why? 1t makes the organs
partakers in the robbery of the people,
so that in nearly every discussion the
press is found on the side of the cor
porations and against the people.
Abraham LincOln's story Of the Irish
man and the pig illustrates the sit
nation. Mr.. Lincoln defended an Irish
man against the charge of stealing a
pig. The testimony being all in, Mr..
Lincoln advised his client to plead
guilty and throw himself on the mercy
of the court. mo, Mr.. Lincoln" said
Patrick, you go back and make one
OF your great speeches and swing your
long arms and talk to the jury, and you
will win the case" Mr.. Lincoln, to
accommodate his client, did as re-
uuested, and to his surprise the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty. At
ter it was all over, Mr. Lincoln said:
Now, Patrick, tell me why 1t is that
the jury acquitted you. know that
you stole the pig, and my speech had
nothing to do in securing your acquit-
tai" And Patrick replied: Now, I'll
tell you, Mr.. Lincoln. everyone of the
jurymen ate a piece of the pig" So it
is true that nearly everyone Of the
great dailies gets a part of the "swag"
and their verdict is nearly always in
favor of the great corporations that do
the stealing. Coming Nation.

Government has provided adequate
machinery for the punishment of a
starving workingman who, separated
by monopoly from the means of gaining
a livelihood, steals loaf; but every
well-informed man knows that it has
not provided adequate machinery for
enforcing the laws which are violated
every day by railroad corporations. A
railroad can steal legislature by re-
fined methods, devised by cute lawyers,
and ride rough-shod over everybody's
rights; but a voorhees, workingman, as
serting his right to life by stealing a
loaf, can go to Jail. This is Justice"
in America, and American Statesmen"
are engaged exclusively in bargaining
for official places.-Coming Nation.

A LIGHT DIFFERENCE.
PIngree's Town Is Getting Cheap Elec
trio Lights.


trio Lights.
Milwaukee Advance: Detroits mu
nicipal lighting plant has created great
interest among officials of other large
cities, and many delegations have in
spected it. Everybody was curious to
know what the saving over contract
lighting would be, If any, and City Elec-
trician Dow was asked that the plant
when in complete operation be given a
full months trial before the figures be
given out. The result for October
shows that there were lao arc lamps
in use, and incandescent lighting was
done in many Of the municipal build
ings. The cost per lamp per month for
street lighting including interest on the
$500 900 of bonds, is $7OS, or sS4.S6 per
lamp per year.
Under the contract system the city
paid S11.15 per lamp per month or
$780, so per year. At the same ratio the
city will save $4,000 this year over
the contract system. The quality Of
the lighting was far and away better
than the old system.
And yet We have many honest people
who think we ought to pay tribute to
private corporations who run our public
utilities.

THE AVAILABLE MAN.
A PIutocratIc Paper "'Fessos Up In Open
Court.

A PlutocratIc Paper "'Fesses Up" In Open
Court.
We have often charged that the two
old parties were governed more by pol
icy than by principle. We have said
time and again that the men who con-
troll the machinery and manipulate the
policy of these parties engage in the
contest for spoils, and govern their
actions thereby. Now comes the
obeDemocrat, plutocratic paper of
the gold-bug brand, and confesses that
such is the case. 1t says:
1t Is a singular and significant fact
that the available man in politics is
usually the man who has no definite
convictions and whose chief merit lies
in his ability to gracefully straddle all
difficult and dangerous issues. The
logic of a republican form of govern
ment is to the effect that the people be-
ing left free to chose their own officers
will naturally select the strongest and
best men, which is to say the men
whom they have most reason to trust;
but in a practical sense, this is not true.
AS a rule, the men who are most cour-
ageous and honest in the expression OF
their veiws, and who can be relied upon
to follow a given course at any cost,
have the greatest trouble in securing
nominations for Office The qualities
which should commend them to popu-
lar favor prove to be disadvantage to
them as political aspirants, and the
prizes that they seek are generally OBJ
tanned by competitors of much less
force Of character, but superior cunning
in evasion and compromise. This hap
pens so often that it is not necessary
to cite special examples. Any man
who has ever attended party conven-
ton has seen the sinister influence in
question at work, for it is always pres
ent where the object in view, is to Sc
cure the largest possible number OF
votes for ticket.
In the nature of things, the most out
spoken and aggressive man, the one
identified most conspicuOusly with the
principles and purposes of his party,
should be the most available man for
nomination. When such a man Is
taken, there is surely less danger OF
mistake and disappointment than
when one of the opposite kind is chosen;
but in nine cases out of ten the latter
is preferred because of the belief that he
can poll more votes than the other-and
usually this theory holds good. For
some inscrutable reason the average
voter does not like 10 support positive
and uncompromising men. He seems
to have a suspicion that such men will
prove to be impracticable and unwill-
ing to make concessions and combina7
tions for the purpose of promoting the
interests of peace, harmony and general
satisfaction. The result is that one OF
the first lessons the politician learns is
that of keeping his opinions to him
self as far as he can, and Of putting
himself in the way Of being regarded
as a conservative person, which gener-
ally means a doubtful quantity. 1t is
necessary for him to pursue such a pol
icy if he would be regarded as an avail
able man when his party is looking for
a candidate.

place the money power in the hands
OF a combination Of a few individuals,
and they, by expanding or contracting
the currency, may raise or sink prices
at pleasure; and by purchasing when
at the greatest depression, and selling
when at the greatest elevation, may
command the whole property and in
dustry of the community, and control
its fiscal operations. The banking
system concentrates and places this
power into the hands of those who con-
troll it. Never was an engine invented
better calculated to place the destiny
OF the many in the hands of the few

independence which lies at the bottom
of our free institutions. John c. Call
