While the class which possesses pom
derous fortunes constitute small per-
centage of our population, and may be
decreasing in numbers, the dependent
class is rapidly increasing. This Is con-
stantly placing political power in fewer
hands, while the support Of increasing
numbers Is at their command. 1t Is
undeniable that the growth of political
generalization and corruption, and con-
sequently of bossism has kept pace with
the concentration Of wealth. AS politi-
cal rascality and dependence have in
creased the boldness of monopolists has
become more manifest in the passing of
measures which render burdens on the
masses more onerous
Never in the history Of American
politics were such audacious and cor
rupting influences employed as in the
campaign Of 1896; never 50 much money
employed to overawe the masses of the
people, and coerce them into support of
the gold standard, and of the manu-
facturers. The corrupt element was
amply supplied with money, and the
campaign for goldism was never before
so pressed by frenzied zeal, even under
the impulse of most impassioned politi-
clans. The golditee controlled the bosses
and coerced the dependent class.
This condition which is becoming
more and more threatening must be
changed, or there will be installed upon
the country an aristocracy possessing
privileges destructive OF the rights and
interests Of the masses. hostile to CIV
ing to the body of the people opportuni-
ties to improve their material circum-
stances. There cannot be democratic
institutions under the rule of a ella ss
whose interests and principles are an
tagonistic to the welfare Of the whole
population.
Bossism can only be dethroned through
the intelligent and independent action of
the masses. There will be no such ac-
tion so long as people submit to a con-
troll which is the legitimate outgrowth
Of monopoly. Boseism Is sustained by
money and monopoly and trusts supply

were nearly three to one against them,

The invention of Alabastine marked
q new era in wall coatings. and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was a most important discovery. II
has from a small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name "kalsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name. and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine COM
pany's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance of spoil
ing their walls for a possible saving OF
at the most but few cents. Thus it
ls again demonstrated that merit wins,
and that manufacturers of first-class
articles will be supported by the
people.

A GOOD SPARROW STORY.
Couldn't Kill the Small Bird with
nTaChinprv.

Couldn't XIII the Small Bird with
Machinery.
The owl IS noted for wisdom, as every
one knows. but as fowl of prey for
big game he is certainly enacting a
new role. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. An engineer of train says
that while near Greensburg, Ind, he
saw what appeared to be q COW or horse
about to cross the rails almost directly
in front of the locomotive. AnticiDat-
ing an accident, he put on all the
brakes just as the engine struck the
object. AS the jar was slight and no
damage done, he walked out on the
running, or footboard, and discovered
what then looked like an eagle lying
on the cowcatcher. He picked I'D the
object, carried ii in the cab of the en-
CINE, but could not make out what t
was, although lie was certain that it
was not an eagle. Afterward the pas
sengers of the train pronounced the
bird to be an owl, which measured
nearly five feet from tip to tip. Inves-
tigation proved that the owl, at the
time he was struck, was dragging along
the ground lamb that weighed many
pounds. Birds have all sorts of queer
adventures, but perhaps what is the
oldest one of recent days is that which
befell a sparrow at Anderson, Ind. It
flew into knife and bar mandatory,
and getting too near small wheel was
sucked in. The workmen noticed it go
into the wheel. but knowing that the
cylinder was revolving at speed OF
100 revolutions minute, took 1t for
granted that the bird had been killed.
When the factory shut down at noon
the men were astonished to hear a gen
tie chirp from the wheel, and 10, there
was the sparrow as well as ever. They
found that the bird had chung to the
strengthening rod of the inside of the
wheel and was In a semi-dazed condi-
ton. They picked him up and put him
on a table. and from thence, after col
lecting his wits, the little bird few to
freedom. The wheel in which the bird
rode made $1,000 revolutions while it
was upon it, and so the tiny feathered
creature travelled seventy-three and
eight-tenths miles in the embrace of a
fiy-wheel.
