A Thief'S Work.

A thief forced his way into the residence
of NJ Friedskin, No. IA East Front street,
last night and carried off an overcoat be-
longing to Harry Sheppard, boarder,
and left an old one in its stead. Mr.. Shop

that the theft of the coat was to aid him
in robbing the store, Mr.. Sheppard hurried
from his home but found that the store

KEROSENE FOR BADNESS,

To find that was growing bald.

And then, abandoning tho rest

My barber, like those thrifty men,
Announced that should smuggling try.
Said he, "Now smuggling, without doubt.

But on my hair his flaming torch
Did something more than merely scorch.

And kerosene,
For, though my hair was thin, twas tough
To have 1t go In one grief puff.

We Work For Them.

Now it is rumored that not only
will an English syndicate obtain posses
sion OF many of the largest breweries of
Cleveland and Sandusky, but some of
the plants i'll Cincinnati and Chicago
will be secured by the combine. The
Otis Steel company, the Walker COM
pany and a number Of other manufac-
turing concerns of this city are now
owned by British capitalists, and thus
Cleveland wealth producers play no
small part in creating dividends and
providing s~umptuously for the ''best''
people of old England. The Anglo
American alliance is no dream. Some
workingmen believe it is already an ac-
complished fact.

Defend Your Institutions.

Since the money press has deemed it
proper and necessary to attack the Unit
ed States postal service it behooves all
friends of good American institutions
to come to their aid. The fight is IN. If
the American people desire to retain
possession of the p~ostoffice service, they
must stand ready to protect it. Leading
metropolitan papers are declaring that
it is a failure and should be placed in
the hands Of private capital.
They lie, and they know they lie. They
lie for an object. The postoffice is an
object lesson to the people. 1t shows
them what government service can do
for them even under the most unfavor-
able circumstances. 1t points the way
to the national ownership of railways,
mines and other natural monnopolies;
hence it is necessary for the corporation
press to traduce the p~ostof1ice and point
to a triting deficit as a reason why it
should pass into the hands OF a Rookie
Teller or a Morgan.
1t a 3 cent stamp were used instead
of a 2, the surplus would be
AS it is, there has been a slight deficit.
There are no fractional parts of a cent
in use. One-half Of one mill added to a
stamp would create a surplus.-New

Greenbacks and Bonds,

The greenback costs the people moth
ing except the printing of the bills.
They do not circulate without being
borrowed, and they pay their face value
of government obligation in the very
act Of being paid out. The issue and use
Of ~greenbacks reduce the debts of the
country. The issue and use of bonds
and bank notes increase the debts of
the country in a twofold degree: l. By
the sale of interest bearing bonds. 2.
By the loaning Of the bank notes on in
terest bearing paper before the bank
notes can enter the circulation.
These facts show why the ancient
policy of this country is now to be re-
versed. 1t is done iD the interest of a
bondholding plutocra6y and against the
interests of the people. John Davis.

MUNICIPAL RAILWAYS.
How Glasgow Has Fine Street Car Service
and Low Rates of Fare.

The fourth annual report of the Glas-
gov tramways department., which COW
ers the IL months ending May 81 last,
shows the continued progress of this IA
nous municipal enterprise. The gross
profits have increased to e1OO, 53S
($502, 690). To appreciate fully the
profitable character Of the Glasgow
municipal tramwaysi it should be remem-
bered that the policy Of the department
is not to accumulate profits in aid Of
rates, but to build up fine service, both
cheap and efficient.
1t meets the interest (e13, 497) on the
capital and sinking fund charges GILL;
O75), and in addition has this year set
aside the large sum of e22, 6S4 (Sl13,-
420) for depreciation, which is written
off capital.
There still remains a net surplus of
$50, 3S7 ($196, $3.50, which, added to the
payment to the common good fund,
would be sufficient to pay a dividend Of
