Illinois System of Rewards For Increase.
Lodge Gleanings.
Illinois has inaugurated system of re-
wards to be paid to lodges that make the
greatest increase for the year ending June,
1898. These rewards, 90 in number, aggre-
eating So, 900, are classified in such way
that the small as well as the large lodges
are placed upon an equal competitive
basis. With the efforts in different direc-
tions now being put forth Illinois will
move to the front. 9. NJ. W. Yantis is a
hustler.
If your lodge doesn't get members, it's
because you are waiting for something to
turn up" Get out and hustle, and you
will get your share.
The lodge officers should look after the
suspension lists of their lodges more close

will often prevent a brother from allowing
himself to become suspended.

through the head of the machine, end

side of the handle bar, on which it dits
when forced down.
Bran and liquid to moisten 1t with

pneumatic tire, the flakes of bran lying
loose in the tire and effectually sealing
on the interior any small hole through
which air may leak.
A newly-designed trousers guard for
bicycle riders is in three sections which
slide over each other and can be drawn
outward to form circular clip when in
use and pushed together until only one

Elevated cycle tracks for use IN large
cities are formed OF posts set In the
ground to support paved track and
side guards, the invention being also
intended for use in connection with
elevated railways.
To prevent the stealing of bicycles

And know also that the curse of 8

are bursting with food, while millions
of men, gaunt with hunger, go forth
from homes where famine reigns and
wander up and down its streets, plead.

cause everywhere the wheels of indus

cry for gold-for gold enough to sus.
tain the monetary systems of all the
nations-a cry that cannot be favorably
answered, because to give to the world
what they ask would cheaper that
which they already have.
There are no words in the English

auery as to What . Silver Republican II
Readily Answered.
The Hartford Courant, Senator Haw-
ley's newspaper, wants to know a few
things, and, as such laudable ambi-
ton should be encouraged, we hasten to
give The Courant the desired informa-
ton. 1t asks:
What is "silver Republican," anyway
Who can expound to US the cut Of his jibq How
did 1T happen, and what's he like, and where
Is he atP Why do the Washington press agents
and newspaper correspondents persist in tag
ging the Republican label upon persons who
took public, formal and decidedly theatrical
leave of the party year ago-to its great relief
and benefit-because of their avowed hostility
to Its principles and policiesP
If the Hartford Courant will refer to
the Republican national platform Of
1892, it will find a declaration to the
effect that "the American people, from
tradition and interest favor bimetal-
lism. and the Republican party de-
mands the use of both gold and silver
as standard money A silver Repub-
lioan is Republican who is so thor
oughly American that he stands by
American traditions aud American in
terests. He stood upon the Minneapolis
Platforms financial declaration and re-
fuses to step down at the bidding of for.
eign bosses, who think nothing of Amer
loan tradition and interest.
It is a pleasure to be able to enlight-
On an earnest seeker after knowledge,
and, therefore, we are pleased to inform
The Courant that silver Republican
is Republican who is so thoroughly
American that he believes that nation
that can make and enforce tariff pol
10y without the aid or consent of any
other nation can make and enforce q
money policy without the aid or con-
sent Of any other nation.
II the Hartford Courant is not salts
fed with the definitions above given,
The World Herald will take pleasure in
quoting some MORE. Many quotations
can be made from William Mckinley,
John A. Logan, John M. Thurston.
William B. Allison and others who are
now or have been leaders Of Republic
anism. But the chief characteristic Of
silver Republican is that he persists
in thinking for himself = Omaha World

FOR TRUSTS ONLY.

The New Tariff Law Taxes the Poor For
tho Benefit of the Rich.
The conference committees tariff bill
is worse than the Dingley bill, an that
was worse than the Mckinley law.
The original house rate on lumber
was So per 1000 feet. TWAS clearly pro-
hibitive. The senate wisely reduced it
to 81. At that rate large quantities Of
Canadian white pine would have been
imported, paying an important revenue
to the treasury.
The conference has restored the %
rate. Under it there can be no lumber
imported The government will get no
revenue. But every man in the land
who builds house or a barn or q board
fence will be taxed an extra dollar on
every 1000 feet Of pine lumber used,
and the whole tax will go to enrich the
85 or so millionaires who control our
pine timber supply.
Incidentally the rate offers a pre-
MUM for the destruction Of our forests,
the drying up Of our rivers and the
lasting ruin of some Of the fairest parts
of the continent.
1t is altogether tariff bill for trusts,
monopolies and campaign contributors.
It puts it's fingers into the sugar bowl
and gives the choice Jumps to the Have
meyers. 1t taxes the builder and farmer
to enrich the lumber kings. It taxes
every pair Of shoes for the benefit Of the
Beef trust. 1t makes every man pay
more for his coat and every woman for
her gown in order that the sheep grow
ers may be deluded with the hope Of
getting more for their wool.
And none Of these extra taxes will go
into the treasury. They are not taxes
for "the general welfare" but for pri-
vate enrichment. It is 8 tariff for rob-
berry and protection to trusts. New

Tho Beauseant and the Stars and Stripes
Chips From the Temple.


It's fad nowadays to carry Old Glory
In parades alongside of the beauseant of
the Templnr Knights. This Is good fad,
and every commandery in the land should
have the stars ana stripes spread to the
breeze in it's ranks. 1t is that grand
symbol of liberty that has made freedom
the greatest boon of this land The beau
seant and the stars and stripes make a
grand combina ton, expressive of God and
our native land.-W. j. Duncan.
The candidate to whom the order most
gladly opens it's doors Is not he who hopes

but he whose desire to enter the lodgeroom

The earliest reference to lodge aprons in
English Masonry occurs in the minutes of

Imagine the embarrassment of our

Is, to redeem conflicting promises made

which will abolish silver dollars and

with gold only as legal tender.
Those silver Republicans who staid

Of the cause Of bimetallism want the

ward an International agreement.
Hence the presence Of Senator Wolcott
to shake foot at the shindy in Buck
ingham palace, where he met the
Prince Of Wales and other friends.
Then there are the rag money freaks
Of the indianapolis convention. Our
obliging president tied himself up to
their committee by pledge to send .

But every physician will tell you that
in most cases the trained nurse Is an
economical necessity. AS for the life OF
the trained nurse herself it is not an
especially attractive one, but the profess
sion has its good points. To become a
trained nurse she must enter hospital
training school at any age between %
and 35. She must spend at least two
wears in study, attending lectures,
working in wards and learning the de-
tails which go to make nursing an eX-
act science. Her hospital life may be
frightened by little flirtations with the
Young doctors, and she may eventually
become a doctors wife and not nurse
ot all but on the whole she takes her
work TOO seriously to admit of a great
deal of nonsense And when she has
fnished she is not a Lucille or Clara
Rorton. but she is a self-composed, self
reliant Young woman. capable of max
ing her own way in the world and ready
to become a ministering angel at SO
much per week.
