THE MYSTERY SOLVED.

Don't Worry and wonder my friend,
The airship is fully explained
The thing fell down at River Bend
And the very next day-it rained.
High over our heads the airship sailed
Like an eagle upon the wing,
And then the machinery failed
And we captured the blamed old thing.
We had started to hunt our hole
Ut was none of our affaiTsl
We supposed they we're needing coal,
Or going to stop for repairsi
We expected to hear voice
Call out from some hidden trench;
"We have busted cur mizzen iOiCe,
Can you lend US a monkey wrenCh1"
When all of a sudden it stopped,
Then made a precipitious scOOt
As the main hind balance-wheel popped
It came to the earth with a swoop.
We yelled at the top of our lungs,
To the travellers from the stars:
Put on the brakes, you sons of guns,
Or you'll never get back to Marsw
1t was shaped like great cigar,
The end of the same being lit
Resembled the great northern star,
And gave timid people fit.
twas seventy feet in length,
And some twenty across the poop,
And when it swOoped il. all its strength
You may bet it was quite a sWOOp.
It struck the ground on its end,
But it didn't SILVER and crash;
It gave a thud and then bend,
But it didn't go all to smash,
1t had no steel and wood to break,
Itwasn't constructed that way
It was only a gol-darned fake
Machine of papier mache,

The National Bimetallist does good
service in correcting the popular error
that there is such thing IS a "bottom"
to prices. There can be no low water
mark, to change the metaphor. Upon
an average, prices have fallen obout
40 per cent. in 20 years, and they will
continue to fall as money (gold) con
tipaes to appreciate, This is in pur-
suanee Of natural law, and it is as fixed
in its operation as the law Of grsYita-
ton. Wheat can, and, indeed, will in
time, if prices continue to decline, go
to one cent a bushel, or to half cent.
The question is simply one Of money
supply, and the man vino eaunot see it
is hopeiessly Obtuse, Many gold men
do see It.

"Wsges must go down" says Senator
Elkins, "Wages in America stand
against any revival of business"
The senator from West Virginia has
not minced his words in confessing
this. He knows that the autocrats of
the great industries would gladly abol-
ish wages while extending the province
Of labor. lie knows that the trend of
national events has been toward con-
traction, He knows that there are
two men for every position and that in
the strife that follows the cheaper will
be employed. He knows that when
business becomes less lucrative it is
LABOR that is made to bear the loss.
He knows that the policy of mOuomet-
sllism has the effect Of forcing values
downward, especially those Of labor.
Hence the logical cOnclusion-"Rsges
must go down"

TOPEKA now realizes its mistake in
allowing last years G. A. R. reunion to
become a political pow WOW, and is
trying to square itself by putting up
promises to do so no more. There are
thousands of old soldiers in Kansas
who are not republicans, and who re-
sent being crammed with republican
speeches by partisan boomers at that
reunion. As consequence this years
reunion is to be held at Leavenworth
and Topeka repents in sRckcloth and
ashes.

The Dingley bill provides for a tax
Of 10 cents per pound upon tea, which
is expected to return an annual rev.
enue of 100000. Last year 93,OOO,-
900 pounds of tea we're imported at a
cost Of s12,O0O,OJO; the proposed revenue
would have added s9,3OO,OOG to that, so
it can be readily seen that the price of
tea is bound to advance about 100 per
cent. Taxed tea was at one time very
unpopular in this country and the peo-
pie may cling to their traditions.
