ATTACKED BY ROBBERS.
A Waukegan, Ill. Mans Experience With
TWO Men Whom He Met.


Barney McGovern, a farmer from
near Waukegan, H., was in Racine
Saturday morning and sold a couple OF
COWS and horse and started for home
about o'clock in the afternoon, with
a horse attached to cutter. He had
something like $50 in his pocket. When
between Kenosha and Waukegan two
men hailed him and asked for a ride.
He stopped and took them in and
started on. He had not proceeded far
when the men made an effort to rob
him. He fought desperately and man
aged to push one fellow out Of the cut
ter and he then caught the other fellow
by the throat and choked him. All
this time the horse was running down
the road. The second man was fired
bodily and struck the earth with a
thud, and McGoyern then paid atten-
ton to his horse and experienced diff
Guilty in stopping it. When he looked
back the second man he threw from the
cutter was still laying on the road and
the first one was attempting to arouse
him. The men had the appearance
of being railroad laborers. Racine

It is understood that mandamus pro-

the city to open the street plated to

division. 1t seems that when the city
accepted the plat of that ground the
street was made to run through be-

that plated street can, of course, force
the city to open the street. 1t is

which the proceedings will be brought.

Many of the American people were
deeply disguised over the invasion of
Coxeys army. There is now in
Washington a more disgraceful and
more dangerous army than that of
Gen. Coxey. When the philosopher of
the future comes to treat of the condi-
tions and affairs of this time he will
probably find in the Commonweal
movement upon the capital merely
result of the habitual invasions that
the spoilsmen of the nation have in
vited their voters and campaign help
ers to make every four years for more
than half century. He will find the
demands of Coxeys army more reason
able and less audacious than the de-
mands of so-called patriots who have
gathered in Washington to receive pay
for questionable or rankly malodorous
campaign services and even for their
votes.-Galveston News.

When Has Country Money Enough

When general prices are substantial
ly stable there is money enough and
not too much. All the money which.
circulates and all the property for sale
are reciprocally the supply and demand
for each other. When the volume of
money increases faster than business,
general prices rise; and when the vol
ume of money decreases general prices
fall. General prices furnish the gauge
or measure of the quantity of money
required for legitimate business. The
value of each dollar, or unit of money,
depends upon the number of dollars, or
units. Money measures the value of all
property by volume, while yard stick
measures by length. There must be
more than one point to measure dis
lance. and there must be more than one
object to create value. Value is esti-
nation of the relative utility of differ
ent objects. The value of a dollar is
what it will buy, and what it will
buy is the value Of dollar. Parity
between different kinds of money will
take care of itself, and is too trifing
for consideration. The only parity re-
quired by monetary science, and by JUS
tice and fair dealing, is parity between
money and property. The preservation
of parity between money and property.
that justice may be done, is the end
and aim of all monetary science.-Sil-

A certain man who journeyed along

his coat lapel and merrily trolled a
party roundelay.
Whittier are you going?" asked
one who met him on the way.
ITO the mountains of High Achieve

But your present course runs par
allel with the mountains"
4 know, know; but l go the way

After little while the one who had
before hailed the traveller again hailed
him.

asked.
ITO the mountains of High Achieve
ment, yonder.'
But you are going in precisely the
opposite direction from that which you
first travelled
Il know, but l go as my party tells
me, and it knows best"
Again in a little time, the same man
hailed the traveller, and again he
asked:
WHITTIER are you going now?'
ITO the mountains of High En-
deavor, as l already have told you
twice."
But the mountains are now at your
back"
''Oh, yes, I know, but l go as my
party tells me. You may be sure that
it knows best"
And one who had heard the three
questions and the three responses said
to the man who had hailed the other:

by the government at its market value.
Bonds bearing 2k per cent interest
are to be substituted for the retired

cure the latter the American people
should begin at once in the household,

in the management of great lines of
transportation and in all other incor-
porations of capital to practice some
thing of the economy and frugality
which characterized our New England

NEWS OF MOVEMENT.

Considerable interest has been
aroused throughout the country among
people of all parties by the fact that
since the Populist treasurer took
charge Jan. 1, Nebraska state warrants
have risen in value from 95 to "
cents on the dollar, Notwithstanding
the publication of the fact that the
outgoing Republican treasurer was
short over half million dollars.
The first city election held in Du-
luth, MIMI, since McKinley's over
whelming victory there last fall re-
suited in very nearly Populist clean
sweep. Evidently plutocracy, though
intrenched in power is in greater dan
ger than ever before.
Jesse R Grant, the youngest son Of
the greatest general, Is to be the Pop
ulist candidate for mayor of the city
of San Diego, California, at the COM
ing election.
All of the silver Republicans in the
house and all but four of the POpulists
in the body united in declining to vote
on the Dingley tariff bill. This course
was In pursuance Of the policy out
lined in the Populist manifesto re-
Gently issued, and was also in accord
ance with an agreement which was
reached by the silver Republicans.
The Minnesota federation of labor
charges Labor Commissioner Powers
with non-enforcement of the factory
act, publishing a Republican gold
campaign document at the states ex-
pense, not publishing labor statistics,
garbling mortgage statistics for gold
buggery, employing Office force on
private work, taking vacations and en-
gaging in private enterprises on the
states time. When the Minnesota
federation of labor unites with the
farmers Of the state in opposing the
election Of governors who are disposed
to appoint such labor commissioners,
there will be a change.
The New York World thus confesses
that at least one excellent measure
has been passed by the Populist legis-
lature of Nebraska:
Candidate Bryan's home state OF
Nebraska Is largely Populistic in every
department of it's government but in
passing the bill prohibiting corpora
lions from making contributions to the
campaign fund of any political party
it has rendered service to the cause
of political morality which might well
be followed by states with better
political record. A corporation which
is wholly the creature of law has no
natural right to do anything that is
not specified in the law by which it is
created And we believe that no cor
poration has ever avowed that the
contributing to campaign funds was
among the purposes for which it was
established. 1t has no moral right to
make such contribution, because it is
not a moral being. AS corporation
it can have no interest in politics ex-
cept mercenary one. III the Ne
braska law should be adopted in every
state and enforced in every campaign,
a great many Of the difficulties would
disappear"

Good Tige.

The story of dog who is wiser than
his master comes from Texas town
by way of a dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Times. The dog is yellow and of
mixed breed, but the readers will not
be likely to lay such things up against
him. The master of the dog is a ranch
er, so called, who one day recently
went into town with a bale Of cotton.
This he sold, and then, like a good-fof-
nothing fellow, went to work to drink
up the proceeds. Long before night
both he and his money were pretty lar
gone. Toward evening he climbed in
to his rickety wagon, unhltched his
shaggy ponies, who had been standing
all day without food or drink, and
started homeward. Very soon, over
come with liquor, he fell on the floor of
the wagon and went to sleep. The
ponies, having no driver, began grazing
by the wayside, and by and by climbed
low railroad embankment, still look
ing for wisp of green. Before long
a north bound train swung round the
curve, and bore down upon the team.
A man in the distance, seeing the dan
the wagon could not hear him, and the
ponies thought nothing. Not so the
ger. set up a shout, but the occupant of
dog. He was wide awake to his mas
ter's peril, and began biting and bark
ing furiously at the ponies heels. They,
foolish creatures. kicked and backed,
and Just in the nicli of time cleared the
track. Whiz went the train, just miss
| ing the wheels. The man was saved.
His name is withheld, but the dog S
name is Tige.

Reefsteak Comes High In Alaska.

The first beefsteak that ever reached
Circle City, Alaska, sold for $4S per
mound a few weeks ago. The steak
consisted of ten-pound piece of beef
that was slaughtered at Forty Mile
creek and was carried from that place
to Circle City, a distance of $50 miles,
by Thomas O'Brien. When OBrien
reached camp the miners turned out
en- masse to see the steak. 1t was
placed on exhibition and attracted
much attention. The prices offered
were such as would have resulted In
a mining camp quarrel or bloodshed II
II had not been decided to rattle the
steak for the benefit Of hospital which
Bishop Rowe is trying to establish for
the miners at Circle City. At first on
ly IS per pound was offered for slice
of the steak, but bidding became brisk
err as the meat was sliced and as high
as s35 pound was offered. Finally
in order to avoid complication, it was
decided to sell tickets at from 90 cents
to $3.50 for the privilege of drawing a
slice. After $3.50 worth Of tickets had
been sold tae drawing began and was
ended peacefully.-Tacoma (Wash.I

The Rabbits Leg.

Those who insist that the silver
question is not as much Importance
as are some other questions and want
to let go of it for that reason should
think about what happened the rabbit
hunter. He reached into a hollow log
and caught the rabbit by the foot and
could have pulled him out, but he said
the leg was of such small consequence
If he could not catch it by the middle
of the body at one full swoop the
blamed thing might stay there even if
his family had to starve for the want
of it. Consequently he did not get the
rabbit. Had he pulled on the leg the
balance would have followed and the
babies would not have gone hungry.
The silver question may be only hind
leg but it is the most available hand
hold and those who let go of it at this
stage of the game are helping to take
bread from their childrens mouths,
