Political Reform a Religious Movement.
All of the greatest human movements
have been religious. Some one has
called the early anti-slavery agitation
a new religious movement. It is be-
coming clearer every day that the cru
SADIE for a peoples currency has far
deeper meaning. There are other far
reaching developrnents-so many, in
Decd and of such a nature that they
have a peculiar significance. The OBJ
ject Of it all is to make men free.
The sons of toll must cease to be
slaves. They are natures noblemen.
They stand face to face with nature;
with its hard facts and problems, and
out of nature they make the wealth of
the world. Money creates nothing. It
has become the tool OF the tyrant.
There are indications that the move
ment for freedom is religious move
ment, undenominstiorla and non-see-
tartan. First, there is the spirit of the
opposition. 1t is intolerant. It has
ceased to argue. 1t uses slurs; acts
with the spirit OF lordly superiority;
INDUCES in the language of the bully
and buffer; it carries in its bosom the
spirit of hate: it acts exactly as all the
tyrannies of the world have hitherto
acted.
Again. the spirit Of the advocates of
reform. 1t is bold, asks only an open
Geld and fair fight and is serious.
This seriousness is growing. l have

TRUSTS ARE CANCERS.
NV Senator Marion r Rutle


(By Senator Marion F. Butler.)
Trusts are cancers industrial can
.ers--on the body polite. They are eat
Ing cancers; they are spreading can
rers; they are fatal to the prosperity
and life of the republic.
Everybody admits this; everybody is
opposed to trusts; yet trusts continue
10 thrivs and prosper and to multiply
each day. Why is this? Because the
voters have been deceived and misled
about the causes that produce trusts
and the true remedy to root them up
ana crush them out
The last Republican legislature Of
New York appointed committee to
Investigate truss and report a bill to
cure the evil. After many months Of
pretended investigation the now IA
nous l.exOE anti-trust committee
made a long report denpuncing trusts
Natchitoches populist., 1898-10-07

Yet trusts continue to grow and
prosper and multiply in numbers as
never before. What is the matter?
The truth is that neither of these So
called antitrust laws contains the true
remedy. Neither of them is directed
at the causes that produce trusts.

and declaring that they were the over
shadowing evils of the age yet closed
by reporting that in the opinion of
the committee the legislature was
poWerless to correct the evil, and that
the only remedy lay In congress.
In December, 1896, President Cleye-
land, in his last annual message to
congress, went out of his way to dis
cuss the question of trusts. He warned
the people against this growing men
ace to our industries and to our gov
eminent, but closed by saying that
congress was powerless to remove the
evil. and that the remedy lay with the
legislatures of the several states.
A few months later William McKin-
ley was inaugurated president of the
united States. In his inaugural ad-
dress he arraigned and denounced
trusts more severely even than his
predecessor. He said that the life
OF the republic demanded that this
monster-this insidious and blighting
curse-should be plucked from our in
dustrial system.
Yet he offered no remedy. He sim
ply denounced the evil, nothing more.
One would judge from the language
OF Cleveland and Mckinley that they
were both honestly opposed to trusts;
yet neither of them is opposed to the
causes that produce trusts; both of
them are the apologists, supporters
and defenders of the fundamentally
evil agencies and conditions that in
evitably produce and foster trusts. In
deed, 1t is we'll known that they were
both nominated by the trusts, elected
by the trusts. owned by the trusts,
and therefore must serve the trusts.
A few years ago the Republicans
passed an antitrust law, which they
said would remedy the evil. 1t did
not. The Democratic party denounced
the Republican antitrust law as
sham and fraud, and charged that
the Republicans never intended to pass
law that would be effective. The
Democratic party, under the Cleveland
regime, came into power.
The Cleveland Democrats proceeded
to pass an antitrust law of their own,
which they claimed would remove and
eradicate the evil. 1t has not done so.
Today the Republican antitrust law
and the so-called Democratic antitrust
law are both on the statute book, side
by side, and in full force.
Yet trusts continue TO grow and
prosper and multiply in numbers as
never before. What Is the matter?
The truth is that neither of these So
called antitrust laws contains the true
remedy. Neither of them is directed
at the causes that produce trusts.

THE ISLAND OF DREAMS.

Away, away TO the Island Of Dreams
In the sea of night, where the starlight
CLEANS;
There hope ever regns eternal. supreme.
Though only the hope of a fanciful dream.
In the Island of Dreams there are no
tears.
And age never comes though thousands
OF years
Should come and go while you dwell on
the shore.
Your heart would be young while wait
ing for more.
In the Island of Dreams love is the king
On the mystical throne, that he may bring
The hope of the heart, sought fondly SO
long
And tune the sad soul for a dreamland
song.
In the Island OF Dreams the heart is pure
AS flowers that bloom on the twilight
shore.
Tempest and tempter, of the distant past,
VIII there give the soul respite at last.
In the Isla nd Of Dreams again we meet
FThe long lost ones, whose wandering feet
Have reached the distant, enchanted
strand.
And the peace and rest of the dreamlit
land.
In the Island of Dreams our sweethearts
wait
AS they did OF old. at the garden gate,
And the lips will then touch as they touch
in dreams
And JOY be as real and sweet as it seems.
In the Island of Dreams | have a friend
Who comes every night when slumbers
will lend
The aid OF Il vision to sleepy eyes.
And brings me message from paradise.
Away to the Island of Dreams I'll go.
Out on the shadows-how darkly they
flow
Listen. wait, be still, watch the golden
beams
| Fading so faint to the Island of Dreams.

NEED EXTRA COVER AT NIGHT
The Blood Circulntes Less mt Night
Than in the Daytime.

The main Use of the coverings at night
is to give the body the warmth that is
lost by reduced circulation of the blool
When the body lies down it is the inten-
ton of nature that it should rest, and
that the heart especially should be re
lieved temporarily of its regular work.
So that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body is in an up
right posture. This means 600 strokes in
80 minutes.
Therefore, in the eight hours that a
man usually spends in taking his night )
rest the heart is saved nearly 5000
strokes. As it pumps six ounces of blood
with each stroke, it lifts 10000 ounces
less of blood in this nights session than
it would during the day when ii man is
usually in an upright position.
Now the body is dependent for its
warmth on the vigor of the circulation,
and as the blood flows SO much more
slowly through the veins when one IS
lying down, the warmth lost in the re-
duced circulation must be supplied by
extra coverings.

USE OF THE SLIME OF FISHES
Ia Is Essential to Their Existence,
and Helps Them Escape.

The slippery coat of slime found on
all fish is essential to their existence. 1t
a. secreted usually in continuous series
OF ducts with numerous openings, which
IN some eases are plainly visible, and in
Others imperceptibe. There are also
pores for the secretion of the mucous in
abe fish's head. The slime exudes through
abe divisions between the scales to the
outer part of the body, over which it
spreads, forming sort of outer skin or
covering, transparent, elastic, and tena-
s'ious, and often having considerable
Body. Fishes vary greatly in the amount
of slime which they secrete. The eel has
very liberal share, and an ordinary fish
at two pounds weight will usually have
a coating OF slime thirty-second of an
fnch in thickness. One of the important
fanctions of the fsh's Shiny coating is to
protect it from the attacks of fungus, a
iorm of plant life found in all waters,
salt and fresh, foul and pure If the fish
IS so injured that some spot becomes UNI
covered by the slime, a barely visible fun
gus will be likely to lodge there, and
when 1T is once lodged the process of its
reproduction is very rapid. 1t soon ex-
tends over the gills, and kills the fish.
The primary purpose of the slime of the
Ssh is to reduce the friction when in mo.
tion, and increase its speed. 1t also
serves as a cushion to the scales, which
ct thus protects from many injuries
The Shiny covering makes the fish hard
re hold, and so enables it the more read
sly 10 escape from its enemies. In some
aeases the slime has very rank smell
and this serves as means of defense
gainst other fish.

THE LIFE ON A MAN-OF-WAR.
Routine of Existence of Uncle Sans
Jackies.

The routine of the day on a man Of
war begins, in the summer months, at
1855 a. M, when the hands are turned
up and the hammocks are dashed and
slowed in the MEETINGS. At 5:l5 break
fast is ready, and smoking on the upper
deck is allowed till $40, when it is
"Out pipes and the hands turn to to
clean decks, etc, till Sis, when there is
a sIand-easy for quarter OF an hour.
AT S:35 both watches fall in, and the
cooks clean the mess decks, and at Q: Is
all hands fall in for divisions, when the
men are paraded and inspected by their
officers, and then prayers are read. Soon
after $3.50 an evolution or drill takes
place by signal from the flagship, and
there is always the keenest competition
between the different ships as to which
shall be first in the drill. As each ship
completes the evolution ordered she
hosts pennant, and as no pennant may
be hauled down till all are up, it is easy
to see which ship is first and which is
last. At II noon dinner is piped, and
smoking is allowed till lilo, when the
hands are usually employed cleaning
guns or arms till ,, when the second evo-
luton of the day is usually signalled.
At 4:l0 supper is ready, and smoking is
allowed till lao. At $50 the hands fail
i'll for evening quarters, and the work .:
the day is generally over, the hands
being "piped down'--otherwise sent to
bed-a 9:i5. In addition to the ordi-
nary routine each day has its special
duties. For instance, on Saturday the
crews are usually exercised at Irregular
tiers in the morning, the rest of the day
being given up to cleaning, while on
Thursday the signal is expected To
make and mend clothes" which is in
terpreted as the signal for a half-holiday
At sea the routine varies somewhat in
few details, break fast being at $3.50 in
stead of sis, and the hands being piped
| down half an hour earlier.

The incident happened just after the
close of the war and was about the
same kind of affair. The Brazilian gov

American citizen in some outrageous
way, and the American minister AT
