When the visit occurred she waited
until there was a hull in the CONVEX
satior, and with great deliberation
hung the wig on the chandelier as be-
fore. Then, she coughed until she had
attracted her mothers attention.
What made you do that?" was the
natural inquiry.
"Oh!" exclaimed the daughter. "How
very reckless of me. shouldn't think
Of doing such thing"
"Why not?" inquired her husband,
coming to her rescue.
"Because-er-a.--t that is to say, for
the reason that it may make me dizzyi"
She never made reference to the calm
fortitude with which her mother met
the sally, but she did have something
very caustic to say about the egotism
of a man who laughs immoderately
over his own attempts at humor.--

Goes Into Politics.

DENVER, Dec. 22. The Rocky Mountain
News sent telegram to Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of Labor,
asking him to outline the plan of his organiza-
ton for independent political action. The fol-
lowing response was received

our political action in the interes. Of labor are
only in tentative state at present. The Amer-
can Federation of Labor proposes, however, to
take such action rs will compel the law makers,
the executives and the judiciary to enact. We
shall elect our own representatives wherever
possible, and at all times defeat the enemies of
our cause, irrespective of party. To achieve
these purposes, however, we realize that it is
necessary for the workers of our country east,
west, North and south, to unite and federate and
concentrate our entire efforts to attain the greet

FOOLED AGAIN.

The contest between Sheriff Kepley and
Sheliff-elect Cook, of Shawnee county, has
been decided in favor of Cook
And this reminds us of the action of the
temperance people and the churches of Topeka
Kepley made no effort to get the support of the
two elements above mentioned, but Cook and
his friends worked the church and temperance
people. Cook declared that he would enforce
the prohibitory law if elected-decared it very
emphaticaly. AS result, those two elements
whooped 'er up for Cook, and he was elected.
No sooner was the contest decided than Cook
and his friends declared that it is impossible for
him to enforce the law, because the county at
torney is opposed to the enforcement of the
LAWN fact, is resubmissionist.
The laugh is on the good church and temper
ance people. They are so easily guled-many
of them willingly.
We are not mourning over Kepley's defeat,
because we believe he used liquor without stint
to secure reelection. but we prefer an open
enemy to hypocrite who makes a pretense of
friendship. Kepley made no pretense of being
a prohibtionist, while Cook did pretend that
he was prohbitionist, and that he would en-
force the law--until he secured the office.
We cannot help a feeling of indignation
toward the church and temperance people be-
cause of their stupidity and credulty.

protect the people that work; it means public
banks with safe repositories for savings; it
means government money always good without
redemption in coin; it means public loan agen-
cies, low rate Of interest, low rents and freer
access to land.
But the first thing to be done, the only ef-
fective work that can be done now in this great
national movement, is to get together in enc
body, adopt creed made up of such of these
principles as we can agree upon; take a new
name and organize for effective work through.
out the country in the Congressional and State
campaigns of next year, preparatory to the
greater contest of 1900.
So far as national politics are concerned we
can do nothing else effectively until this is
done. Our friends are not only not organized
they are disorganized. We must get together
and be organized. This can be done only by
those who are earnestly seeking substantial re-
forms in Our laws and government getting to-
gether in one great body with one creed, one
name and one flag. We should soon have a
majority of voters in a majority Of the States,
a majority in the country at large, and we
could thus secure majority of Congressman,
United States Senators and Presidential electors.
Then, if we did not effect some of the reforms
we advocate, the failure would be because we
are not sincere.
In the meantime, Populists, in States which
they control, can do much to put our theories
into practice. They can inaugurate the scheme
of manufacturing or raising supplies at the
state institutions for use among the classes that
have become public charges. 1t is probably
too early and too expensive, without due prep
araton and adequate cause, to enter at once
upon the construction of system of State
railways; but good beginning can be made by
employing idle persons in improving common
roads aMd bridging streams, constructing city
works and erecting State and county buildings.
In payment for such labor the State might pro-
vide fund, within a reasonable limit, of la
Dor certificates redeenlable in taxes. In cases
where there is serious trouble between Goa OPP
orators and miners the state might condemn the
coal lands, pay for them and work the mines
for the public interest. Let the same course be
taken in cases of manufacturing plants where
the common good requires it.
There is one open field ready for the reapers
Here is an inviting harvest. De-
wise fair, honest method of raising public rev.
enues and the people will rise and bless us. 1t
can be done. If there is WILL the way will
be found.
But if we do nothing more, we can at least
take good care of what has been placed in our
keeping, and be frugal and clean.

SECRETARY GAGE is confident that the single
gold standard will be firmly established no mat
ter how the people may vote. When asked
what would be the result if the people should
elect free silver majority in e3 he laughing
ingly replied that the president could be de-
pended upon for 4 veto. No monarch in Eu-
rope would dare to annul any measure which
had been legally adopted by majority of the
people, but the president of the United States
can overcome any minority in con press, less
than two-thirds, and even a two-thirds ma )rty
can be annulled by the supreme court, and we
have no reason to believe that congress would
dare to impeach and remove the judges for thus
trampling upol the institutional rights of the
people. So may as we'll look upon the per-
manent establishment of the single gold basis
as already accomplished, and the reform move
ment will be compelled to face the inevitable
and adapt itself to the situation. From our
standpoint we do not anything in this to
discourage the true reformer. The reform vic
tory, when it is achieved, will only be the mole
thorough. widespread, all comprehensive and
lasting, as the result Of the present complete
victory achie.l by the gold power.-The New

SAN JOSE, Dec. 27.-Chief of Police
Kidward is certain that Albert Hoff,
the alleged murderer of Mrs. Clute
in San Francisco a few days ago,
killed Emma Hawkins in the Hensley
House in this city on April %, 1896. So
sure is Chief Kidward that Hoff Is the
man wanted for the murder that he
went before Justice Gass this afternoon
and swore to a complaint charging
Hoff with the murder of Emma Haw-
kins. The picture of Hoff has been
positively identified as that of q man
who occupied a room in the Hensley
House for several days preceding the
murder. On the day the crime is sup
posed to have been committed the man
was seen washing his hands at a wash
stand at the end of the hall, and it
was under the washStand that the
broken caseknife with which the wo-
man was killed was found.
Charles Smith, an upholsterer of this
city, and G.. E. Saunders of 1745 Park
place, Alameda, have positively identi-

who was seen at the Hensley House
on the day of the murder. Mrs. Darcy,
who was then proprietress of the Hens

man that tallies with Roff

Hensley House on the afternoon of
April %, 1896. She had been struck over
the head with some blunt instrument
and her throat cut from ear to ear.
There were other knife wounds upon
her body. She had been dead about
twenty-four hours when discovered.
Her body lay upon the floor, and piled
upon it were the bed clothing and
mattresses. The room had been ran
sacked for valuables, trunks being
broken open and the carpet torn I'D In

was found a broken caseknife, with
which the crime had been committed.
The police worked diligently on the
case, but aside from obtaining a de-
scription of the supposed murderer
were unable to find clew.
Ever since Hoff's arrest Chief Kid
ward has been trying to fasten the
crime upon him, and he now believes he
has succeeded. The warrant charging
Hoff with the murder of Emma Haw-
kins was this afternoon forwarded to
