THE GREAT MIDDLE CLASS.

Inc tendency OF the IlIleS Is
unfortunately in the direction of
class distinctions, says the Bos-
ton Traveller. There is danger
that the great principle of the
equality of men as men shall
pass into innocuous desuetude.
Woe betide the day when the
royal birthright of any citizen of
this republic shall be forgotten.
The history of nations shows
that degeneracy follows hard
upon the heels of separation of
the people into classes. In the
large cities of this country there
are already the "four hundred"
into whose select circles others
may not enter, and the selection
| is made upon the basis of wealth,
or, what is worse, the degree of
effeEinacy, to which the poor
dude has degenerated in his ex-
IRENE devotion to the cut of his
trousers or his ball room man
ners.
While it must be admitted that
the tendency is strong in the d.
rection of a separation of the
people into two classes, the very
rich and the very poar, fortu-
nately for US there still remains
the great middle class, outnum-
bering both the other classes in
the ratio of 100 to 1, and in their
hands rests the destiny of this
republic. They are the people,
and unless they are false to
themselves, no power on earth
can retard their progress, nor
deprive them of their rights.
They comprise all who devote
themselves to honest labor,
whether of hand or brain. They
may be poor, they may be in
moderate circumstances, or they
may have secured a competency.
Relative conditions may change
in a day, but "a mans a man
for a that" Let the people re-
spect themselves, guard jealousy
their own rights, and be willing
to accord to others the same
privileges they ask for them
selves.
WHAT THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID.
The germ of dissolution of
our federal government is in the
constitution of the federal ju-
ciary; an irresponsible body
| (for impeachment is a scare
crow, working by gravity by
night and by day; gaining a lit
tie today and little tomorrow,
and advancing its noiseless step
like thief, over the field of jur-
isdiction, until all shall be
usurped from the States, and the
government of all be CONSOLE
dated into one." - jefferson S
Works, vol. Z, p. 216.
1.-The judiciary of the United
States is the subtle corps of sap
| pers and miners, constantly
working underground to under
mine the foundation of our con-
federated fabric. They are con-
STRUNG our constitution from a
coordination of a general and
special government to general
and supreme one. The founda-
tions are already deeply lain by
their decisions for the annihila-
ton of constitutional State
rights. If ever this country is
under single government, it
will be one of the most extensive
corruptions, Indifferent and in
capable of wholesome care over
so wide spread a surface. This
will not be borne, and we will
have to choose between reforma-
ton and revolution; the one or
the other is inevitable. "-Jeffer-
sons Works, vol. Z, p. 191.

IF such statements as follow,
from the pen Of General Lloyd
Byrce in the North American
Review, were made by Mr.. Bryan
they would be stigmatized by the
organs of the money ring as in
incendiary, revolutionary and
anarchistic. Probably they will
be as it is. General Bryce says:
E'We are living in the shadow of
an unbridled plutocracy, caused,
created and cemented in no light
degree by legislative, aldermanic
and congressional action; a
plutocracy that is far more
wealthy than any arlstocracy
that has crossed the horizon of
the worlds history, and one that
has been produced in a shorter
consecutive period 1.-THE names of
whose members are emblazoned
not on the pages of their nations
glory, but of its populations; who
represent no struggle for their
eountry's liberties, but for its
Doodle; no contests for magma
charta, but for railroad charters,
and whose octopus grip is ex-
tending over every branch of in
dustry; a plutocracy that con-
trois the price of the bread that
we eat, the price of the sugar
that sweetens the cup we drink,
the price of the oil that lights us
on our way, the price of the
collins in which we are buried"

viii meet there: the people going up the
river like the Humboldt's passengers for
instance. and the people coming out from
Dawson.
In view OF this large aggregation OF
prospectors IL seems not unlikely that the
early spring viii bring big news from the
Munook district. Many or its tributaries,
such as the Little Munook. Hunter and
Hoosier creeks. are already reported as
fairly teeming with gold. Mr.. johnson
states that the gravel in all the streams
IN that district is peculiarly rich and
promising. One claim yielded l22 ounces,
or s. 600, in a single day. Claims are be-
ing rapidly taken up, and those who have
secured them are not anxious TO SELL
Claim No. 6. on Little Munook, is now
held al $50, 0e0 and others at similar fig
ures. The large crowd of men at Rampant
City viii not spend the winter idly. II Is
certain that vast amount of prospecting
will be done. Sixty-five of the Hamiltons
passengers left the steamer and went
ashore to winter at this point.

The sketch map above. showing the

office are filed all locations OF claims.
During the long winter months. when
travel along the Yukon Is practically i'm
possible, the interest OF many Seattle peo-
pie will be conferred around the point
where the Munook creek empties into the
Yukon. According TO the latest informa-
ton brought down by Deputy Collector
G. w. Ross, Of Circle City, d. Baxter and
q. O. Johnson, the San Francisco capital
lists who reached Seattle last Sunday. and
others: Rampant City. which lies at the
confluence OF these two streams, Is des-
tined 10 be the largest winter camp on the
Yukon. Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Baxter agree
that already 1900 people are there, and
that as many more will find their way
there this winter. Two distinct groups

Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
/ will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When nv
monthly period came on, 1 flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my $rouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. 1
said 1 would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. b. A. LoMBARD,
