There can be but one way for intelligent
people to act in politics, and that is to select
men to represent them who believe they
do. IF the majority believe in Republican
doctrines, elect Republicans and visa-versa.
If the majority believe in protection (as it
seems they do) why not vote for that party,
instead of bowling one way while voting to
the contrary No one has reasons to ex-
pect any representative to vote otherwise
than to sustain the doctrines taught by the
party electing him. Instead of people kick
ing about Senator Cafery's vote, they
should kick themselves for having hereto
fore voted contrary to their political belief.
That's about the size of it.-Franklin VIM

- Illinois tried to drive the public schools to
be patriotic and it has backed down by re-
pealing the statute which required the con-
tinuous display of the stars and stripes on
all public, parochial and private schools

force patriotism, that moment patriotism
looses its force. Patriotism is good for
nothing unless it is spontaneous.-Bossier

Governor Pingree, of Michigan, is the

e People Don't Understand.

Some people do not understand that
the men who favor the free coinage of
silver are also just as much in favor of
the free coinage of gold as they who
style themselves exclusively gold
men.
People prior to 1873 could take eth
er their gold or silver to the U. S. mints
and have it made into dollars. Now
they can take only their gold. The
consequence is that there are fewer
dollars being made, and whenever any
body wants one he must give more for
it than he used to. Men who have
wheat, cotton, dry goods, real estate,
labor or anything else must give much
more of them than right to buy a dol
lar when they want one. To the prop
erty Of those people who own money
this increase in the value of the dollar
amounts to an absolute ~confiscation.-

1t has been proposed to celebrate the
consolidation of the cities at the mouth
OF the Hudson into the greater city of
New York by the erection of a steel
tower more thar two thousand feet
high-twice the height of the Eiffel
tower. Such a monument would be
big OF course, but it would be strik-
lngly ugly and singularly inappropriate.
A city which could bring itself to erect
such a structure in honor of it's crea-
ton could never be remarkable for any
hing but mere size.

Stanley brought the Christian world
the request of the king that they

standard range of prices will reassert

the plutocratic press then find to say
to the farmers?
IN the meantime city w~orkingmen
are unable to find the whereabouts ct
the general prosperity whose presence
IN our midst is advertised by the daily
press. Wages are not rising, and en-
ployment is hard to get.
Here is an illustration from the Ia
coma Sun: THE Ledger yesterday gave
an account Of a Mr.. and Mrs. White
who went from Seattle to Portland in
search OF work. Failing to find any
they had to tramp back to Seattle.
When 1T is remembered that the Ledger
is the chief prosperity bowler in the
state it will be easily understood inat
1t has forgotten to lie in this one in
stance"
And the following from an Eastern
labor paper tells the same story:
Cases of starvation are becoming so
common that they hardly attract at
tentlon any more. The once proud
Americans are sinking into helpless.
hopeless condition that travellers tell
is IN Italy, Spain and other despotisms.
Men and women tramp the streets and
highways of their native land in a 1ain
endeavor to find some one who will
give them food for their labor. In the
last week several gruesome cases have
come TO light that ought to bring the
blush of shame to any American. How
long this thing is to be allowed to con-
tinue is a serious question, but there
is no doubt that the public is becoming
restless under it, and that the pent up
fires of indignation are gathering force
and cannot always be smothered. The
people have made enough wealth. but
they are not allowed to consume it. 1t
is consumed-wasted-by those who in
nowise aided in it's production. And
the world I'VE to higher planes by
