I have an evil deed to perform, any

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children i'll
affiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
80 frequently and so carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue

Merit Wins.


The invention of AIabastine marked a
new era in wall ccatings, and from the
standpoint of the building owner WIS a
most important discovery. 1t has from
small beginning branched out into every
country of the civilized world. The name
"kalsomlne" has become so offensive to
property owners that manu- acturers of
cheap kalsomine preparations are now
calling them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine compa-
ny's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and per-
sonal use, the merits of the durable Ala
bastina are so thoroughly known that the
people insist on getting these goods and
will take no chance of spelling their walls
for possible saving of at the most but
few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated
that merit wins, and that manufacturers
of first-class articles will be supported by
the people.

Measures not Men.

In every country where the form OF
government is representative. that is.
where the the people confide the law
making power to individuals, the cues.
ton most warmly discussed after each
campaign is whether or not those indi-
viduals will keep the various pledges
which they made during the campaign.
1t has come to be accepted as a fact
that many of the promises made at
election time are intended only as vote
catchers and nothing but the insist
ence OF the electors will secure the
passage of the desired measures. This
is all wrong, but it is true nevertheless
and there has been no more fragrant
instance of it than the so-called bime-
tallic planks which in one election
after another have been placed in the
platform of the republican and demo-
cratic parties only to be entirely disre-
garded when those parties have se.
cured possession of power. In Switz-
land, on the contrary, the debate is on
measures and not on men. When the
people have the power to initiate laws
as well as the power to pass upon laws
it is evident that the rogue will go in
vain to the legislature. With direct
egisiation ana free ballot the people
are the sovereign, secure in their
strength and unblinded by intense par
tisan feeling. Mon Conformist.

Government Telegraph Lines.

The Photographers Advocate, in dis
cussing the ownership of the telegraph
by the government. shows how the
public would be benefited. "Do yu
understand" asks the Advocate, chow
things will be when the government
owns the telegraph and does business
at cost? They will first set the
wage-a good, decent one-and then
charge only enough to pay it and keep
the plant in repair.
The millions which the Western I'm
ion pays out as interest and dividends
now would go to operators as salary
and stay in the pockets of the pet pie,
as the difference between what the
the Western Union would charge and
the cost price of message. The
Western Union pays out thousands of
dollars yearly for rent, which the GOV
eminent would not have to pay, as they
would put the telegraph in the post
office. The Western Union pays a
president $50, 900, which is $42, 200 more
than the postmaster general receives
The presidents work would be done by
the postmaster-general, and the vice
presidents and directors would be
abolished, affecting another large saw
ing. Consider that the same wou ID
apply to all other companies each of
which Is doing paying business, and
you will realize that the government
can handle telegraphs at 10 cents per
message and pay operators $50 per
month for doing the work.
IF the telegraph is taken by the
government, every town of 1900 or
1000 will have daily paper with press
reports therein. The government will
transmit this report at cost and it
won't cost a paper SIS, 900 or $40, 900 to
get in to the Associated Press in addi-
ton to several thousand.dollars month
ly for service, as it now does. This
will furnish thousands of printers,
and men engaged in furnishing sup
plies and tools for these trades, en-
ployment. The daily papers will then
be free from corporation domination,
and not before.

GREED.

What has filled the earth with pow
erty, groans, woes, maledictions and
vengeance? Greed.
What has transformed a world
which God said when he had created
it, was good" into an inferno?
Greed.
Who is trying to send greed to it's
native hell, and introduce an era of
justice? Organized workiugmen.
Who are opposing the introduction
of this miniature millennium? Trusts,
corporations and all the satanic gang
that constitutes the money power
What government agencies are help
ing these nefarious combines to perpet-
uate the reign of greed? The courts
and the standing armies.
How long. o, Lord. how long, are
such curses to continue? just as tlonp
as workingmen are afraid of partisan

An Object Lesson.

Farmer-I have just received this
notice from Mr.. Morgan, and am
very much troubled about it. If YOU
will pardon me, would like to ask
how soon do you think, if Mckinley is
elected, an international agreement
for the free coinage of silver can be
perfected?
Banker-Well, I think we can conf
IDENTIFY expect to bring it about in ten
years. Yes, let me see. Yes, 1 think
it is safe to say ten years.
Farmer-Ten years, did you saw?
Heaven protect us! Why, my dear
Mr.. Morgan, my farm will be gone
long before that time, and my child
rem will have grown up in ignorance.
Banker-Possibly SO, my friend but
be loyal to the old party; be patriotic;
be honest. What is an educated fam
lily compared with reputation for
honor and patience such as you win
have if you can hold out until Eng
land gives us permission to coin sill

In this country we do not have one
law for the rich and another for the
poor" A very pretty pharisaical text
for comforting editorial sermonette,
and quite true theoretically, but the
preacher would have done well to have
secured a revised version of the COM
mentaries furnished in the adjoining
news column. The incident on which
text and sermon were based was the
execution by the hangman of million
aire Duestrow," who had murdered his
wife and child. Despite the vulgar
toadism of the mans title the meaning
of the editorial is that his money did
not save the convict from the grip Of
make q summer, and it may be that
the awe-inspiring million only failed
to defeat justice because it was not two
millions and, therefore, did not spin
out long enough. The murders were
perpetrated in 1894 and the limited
amount available went a long way
we consider that it paid for the tying
up of the arms of justice by legal red
tape for three whole years. Last
Wednesday week, two Philadelphia
rogues effected commonplace rob-
berry. On the Friday they were ''rail-
roaded" to prison for five years. They
