Your Own Town First.

We may honestly differ in matters of politics or religion, but there Is no room for difference ot opinion in the matter of the plain duty of every citizen to stand by home industries "Pstronize home in- stItutions" should be the motto of every one, and if it vas strictly followed what an improvement would be seen. Let everybody with dollar to spend re- member that every dollar spent at home helps to swell the volume of currency Tn the local channels of trade, and every in- ierest in the village and every dweller in it is benefited by the impetus given to local trade by plenty of money freely circulated. Stand by home industries, patronize home merchants and msnu. lecturers and be willing that all should receive fair profit for their labor. So. ciety ia a partnership of interests in which all are entitled to receive share of the profits, and in advancing the com mon welfare, inc day laborer and the money lender are alike under obligations to do their share according to their re- ources.-ExchaDge.

Adviee of Wendell Phillips.

My advice to workingmen is this: II you want power in this country; if you want to make yourself felt; if you do not want your children to wait long years be. fore they have bread on the table they ought to have; the leisure in their lives they ought to have; the opportunities in life they ought to have; if you don't want to walt yourself, write on your banner so that every political trimmer can read it.. so that every politician, no matter how short-sighted he may be. can read it l: We never forget. If you launch the arrow of sarcasm at labor, we never forget. Ii there is division in congress and you throw your vote in the wrong scale, we never forget. You may go down on your knees and say, am sorry did the act. And we will say: l. may avail you io he yen, but on this side of the grave never. So that a man in taking up the labor question will know that he is deal ing with hairtrigger pistol, and will say: am to he true to jIstice and to m an, otherwise am dead duck.

An eastern exchange says that army officers are greatly exercised over the closing of post exchanges at Fort Robin. son, Neb.. and at the post at Pla,tsburg, N Y. The right of state officials to m. terfere in the international adminisirs- ton of the affairs of army posts is to be jadically determined. The matter is giving much concern to army officers, for judicial decision adverse to the post exchange in most instances would wipe out this institution, which the experience of several years past, it is alleged. has shown to be ''of the sgreatest value in army administration, as tending to DO mote morality, sobriety and habits oi thrift among the enlisted men," It is certainly novel contention that the lib eral consumption oi beer promotes "mo- rality, sobriety and thriit." and we com. mend the argument to the prohibition. ists and the Woman's Christian Tenn perance Unlon --Arizons Silver Belt.

The Bond Issues.

By vote of 39 to 28 the senate yester. day decided to take up Mir. Peffer's reso- lution for an investigation of the bond issaes. It will be the excuse of the twen. ty.eight senators that an investigation is reflection upon the integrity of the president and the secretary of the treas. ury and derogstory to the dignity of their high off ,es and of the United States. That argument is very well. but the peo. pie of this country want to know all about the bond issues and about the negotia. tions with Mir. Morgan and his syndicates. It is also desirable that there should be thorough airing Of the fact that the bonds were issued simply and solely for the insaln purpose Of maintaining the gold standard, and at time when there was plenty ol other money than gold in the treasury, and in consequence Of the vol untsry and wicked practice of allowing greenbsck and coin note holders to de. mand gold ct their option. There are many matters which can be very prop. erly discussed in connection with the bond investigation, and before it Is concluded there sill oe liberal application of salt to the raw spots of the goldites. = Denver News.

hvasion by Japan.

The San Francisco Journal of Com. merce says eiitorially: It looks as if the Japanese were going to get strong hold n this country, to make the United States the chief outlet for thelr products
 The tea that we used to get from Japan was excellent; but Americans in Ameri- ca wanted more tor their money. and American shippers in Japan have low. cred the cost. They had to take poor tea, weight it with gypsum or stone powder, color it with Prussian Blue to "beau'ify it"--which makes poor tea even worse.
 In this way immense profits have been made at the expense Of the American public, and likewise at the expense of the Japanese producer, whose interest it is to have the best tea consumed, be. cause people will like it., and 90 want more. Good tea increases the consump. ton of tea, while poor tea, weighed and colored, tends to decrease the con. sumption.
 The American shippers stand between the interest of American consumers and the Japanese growers. The Japanese government seems to be quite aware of this. and, at the Worlds Fair, spent thousands of dollars showing America that we were not (and are not) using req! Japan tea at all.
 We shall watch the proceedings with interest; for it will be good thing for the country to use good tea, and a gres: thing tor San Francisco, which, because of climate, harbor, and trade facilities, is the natural tea-port for the United States.

The Engineering News remarks, con- corning the new electric locomotive that carries it's own boiler and engine, that ''tne plan of combining in single ma. chine boiler, engine, dynamo, storage battery and electric motor with tine nu. merous operating and controlling devices which each require, and all for the pur- pose of propelling car along a railway track, is one which harmonizes much better with the French mech inlc's pen. chant for complication than the Ameri- can practice of choosing the simplest and most direct means Of reaching & desire end. No matter how fast the locomotive may run, or how skilltully it's promoters may present their estimates, the fact will remain that it is mechanical ab. surdity to develop mechanical power on locomotive and then proceed first to convert it into an electric current back into mechanical power in order tc apply it to the driving wheels.

Patronizing Home Papers.

A wise exchange commenting on the relation of a neighborhood to it's local paper says, among other things, the fol- lowing: we would like our readers to carefully read the advertisements each week. There is q feature of news about them and you may learn something about the prices you dld not know be. fore, which may be of aid to you in buy. ing. The merchants who take space in our columns are the most enterprising and up to date in town. They keep the latest styles, the best quality, and will give you the fairest treatment. We can vouch for this. Last, but not least, they are our friends, and any business thrown their way will be favor to us, and will encourage them to patronize us. There are two classes of merchants in a town the one that can get along without the newspaper until he wants to suppress some item of news that would be iDjur. ious to his business or character. or wants his obituary written up; and the other one who takes pride in his local paper, and who knows that paper with out support is poor excuse. He also knows from experience that advertising pays"

In an old book printed in Amsterdam in the year l590. it sad: "Gold comes from different countries, from the noun tains in Bohemia, and the rivers in Sweden.

It came next from the Spanish Indies, first from San Domingo, then from other parts. but that also has stopped.
