A WRETCHED CITY.

DR., Severance of Palouse City
on returning from a three months
business trip to Chicago, says:
Chicago is the most wretched
city ! ever saw, at the present
time. Its streets are full of idle,
starving people. Shortly before |
left the mayor called for $780,
900 to relieve thu immediate dis
tress, All the city's churches are
calling for charity. About two
weeks ago the mayor requested
the police department to search
out and relieve the most destitute,
the starving, The police found
hundreds of homes without one
article of food. In one case, pub
iished, that I remember, the
mother was found dead in one
room, the father drunk in another,
and five children crying for
bread in third room, / am
truly thankful that ! don't live
in Chicago for this reason, and
| am thankful that I got into a
semi-tropical climate, Idaho and
eastern Washington, yesterday"

THE REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRAT BARREL.

E. e. Duncanson, of Ontario,
California, contributes the fol-
lowing illuatratiye story in APP
peal to Reason;
"While travelling in Arkansas
last summer | was looking over
a large Industrial establishment,
and desired a drink of water.
On inquiring OF the foreman for
it, he directed me to so down a
certain aisle until / came to
barrel painted white on one side
and black on the other, and to
drink from faucit on the white
side of the barrel. On investi-
cation | found there was no par
iition inside the barrel, all the
water was run in through one
hose. the ice was put in through
pne hole in the top. The barrel
was The same color all around
inside, and the faucets were
identical. The only distinguish
able difference in the entire bar
rel was the paint on the outside
one side black and the other
white. Party feeling ran SO high
there that there would have been
q riot among the workmen had
o white man drank from the
black side of the barrel or had
a black man drank from the
white side of the barrel. How
ever, the water was the same,
but the mems feelings SO differ
ent. So with our political ma
chine, painted On one side Black
Republicans and on the other
White Democrats, filled by the
same money power through
manipulated conventions, with
one quality of officers, their
tools. The voter proudly draws
from his part of the barrel,
through identical voting ma
chinery, the same quality Of cor
rupt tools, that his rival is with
equal pride drawing from the
opposite side of the barrel, much
to the satisfaction and profit Of
his master, but to his own ruin"
