To the Peoples Solons.

Gentlemen; a heavy responsibility
rests upon YOU. Public affairs have
been gong 80 continuously from bad
to worse, that the people have risen in
their majesty and called halt. Your
selection Is only an incident in the
mighty movement To institute reform.
You were chosen because it was known
that you We're i'll sympathy with the
economic principle which permcatcd
every measure suggested and adopted
in the late campaign. Had not the
emergency been of alarming import
ance, a union OF the elements that
have been ut times antagoniStic and
constantly fraught with prejudice
against each other, could not have
been accomplished. 1t required a
truly patriotic throb OF the heart to
down this feeling and unite for an oo-
jcct which seemed to be essential for
protection of the tireside and the we'll
being OF loved ones in the home circle.
A few words of admonition from a
writer who has no ak to grind and
who contributed his share towards Sc
curing victory, prompted solely by a
desire to render effective the work lust
begun, will not be deemed obtrusive
by any member who is imbued with a
desire to honestly and conscientiouly
cmbody the popular will into statu-
tory law and place it in the keeping of
our friends for enforcement. Remem-
her the principles upon which the vic
tory was won. Remember that in
union there is strength. Bear in mind
continually that confidence inspires
confidence, and let your acts be so
circumspect that no faint of suspicion
may obscure your character or weaken
your influence Be fair, be open and
above all be united in your counsels.
Remember there will be those present
who have pet schemes to advance and
many of these, while they will benefit
their projectors, may place a response
bility upon you that will not be justi-
| fed by general results. 1t is always
safe to counsel with those who have
shown by their acts, support of the
principles you hold in common, that
their professions have a sound founda-
ton.
But beware of that guileless politi-
clan who approaches you with flattery
and fawning. He wears mask be-
hind which a grinning skeleton al
ready chuckles over the prospect Of
your fall. Scan we'll the advice of
those who have hitherto had nothing
but censure and contumely for you
and your party. Such sudden sympa-
thy cannot be sincere. Professions Of
respect from lips that have SO lately
been writhed with scorn is hypocrit-
ical and false and should pass you as
the idle wind.
Do your duty as your conscience
directs, and you cannot 60 far wrong.

textbook for teaching kindness to an
finals, adapted for use. in public and
private schools, which will be issued
from the press of the Whitaker & Ray
Co., of San Francisco, on or about
February the 18th. Such book will
be the means of accomplishing much
good in curling the savage impulses of
human nature and in turning the
heart in the direction of mercy and
love. 1t is to be hoped that this work
will fully meet the requirements of its
mission and receive cordial recogni-
ton from all educators of youth.

Don't forget that the chief end of
your life work should be to make
somebody else happy rather than your

Don't be led into the fallacy of
thinking that Prince or Count would
make you better husband than q
man who would have to labor with his
hands to support you.
Don't think that you have completed

If you have reached the sweet six
tenth milestone, don't live another
day before you can make a loaf of

and minor details of household
Don't live another day without be-
ing able to knit your father pair OF
warm WOODEN socks as nicely as you

Don't be afraid to have it known
that you can wash and dress your
little baby brother when your mother
is sick in bed.
Don't be ready to faint if your best
fellow should give you sudden call

Don't read the sensational novels

a Natural Result,

A protective tariff. to meet the OBJ
ject of its advocates must of necessity
be prohibitory tariff. Any tariff
schedule which fails to keep foreign
products out, fails to protect the man
ufacturer or producer so far as his
wares are unsold from foreign compe-
tition. A tariff for revenue is based
upon the ratio which will yield the
largest returns from imports, and at
the same time stimulate wholesome
competition that prevents the forma-
ton of trusts, protecting alike the
labor which enters into the product
and the purse OF purchaser and con-
sumner. A prohibitory tariff yields
nothing for support OF the govern
ment in the form of duty, the only
justification for imposing an import
tax, and it increases the cost of living
of the many for the benefit Of the few,
many of whom by this policy have
already amassed fortunes which confer
power that is a menace to national
life. Even now it is whispered con-
viction of more than the "masses"
that the Presidential election was car
ried by gigantic system of fraud. If
this be true, it is but the natural Sc
quence of governmental policy that
piles up colossal fortunes for favored
individuals. Protection was the en-
tering wedge for sordid ambition, and
it has so demoralized the money. gath
er that he has become oblivious alike
of honesty and caution in the scram-

The Richmond, Va, State, OF the
Goth ult., prints letters from William
Jennings Bryan, r. 2. Bland, W. }.
Stone and others, in reply to a query
sent out from that paper as to what
in the view of these gentlemen constl-
tuted Democracy. Mr.. Bryan's letter
was as follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 20 1896.
To THE EDITOR OF THE STATE:
! have not time to answer your ques-
tions at length. In broad sense a
democracy is government which the
people run, and a Democrat is one who
believes in such government. In a
party sense Democracy is defined by the
Chicago platform, and the person who
supports the party and its platform can
call himself Democrat. The platform
is entirely satisfactory to me. In my
judgment it applied Democratic princi-
pies to present conditions.
If a minority has a right to give a
party definition of Democracy, then
there may be as many different detini-
tons of Democracy as there are persons
who desire to wear the name.

ANOTHER PUBLIC BUILDING FAILS
TO MATERIALIzE.-It seems that the
United States Penitentiary project at
Walla Walla is in state of innocuous
desuetude, the same as our State CAPT.
tol. The delay is caused by differ
ence of opinion as to whether the ap-
preparation of the enabling act of $780,
GOO for penitentiary purposes was for
State institution or one to be owned
and managed by the General Govern
ment. The Secretary of the Interior
took the ground that the appropria-
ton was for purchasing a site and
erection of United States Peniten-
tiary, and he proceeded to buy 40 acres
of land and to secure plans for the
building. Subsequently, however, the
U. S. Attorney General gave an opin-
ion that the grant was made to the
State, and the matter has since re-
manned in allegiance. p. b. Johnson,
writing from Washington, says that
this delay is solely attributable to the
present State executive, J. H. McGraw;
that had he acted in accordance with
suggestions made in an official report
of the Penitentiary Directors the State
of Washington would have, long ago,
received from the United States $780,
600 for penitentiary purposes.

heavy thunder, and at Bridgeworth
the streets suddenly seemed to be on
fire. The ground oscillated for nearly
minute at Bristol and Clifton. At
