Lady Dorothea Hope, "and showed him

MEN CHEAPER THAN HORSES
Animal Hire In Some Parts of Russia
Exceeds That Paid for HUI
man Labor.

In Russia the wages of a harse are
higher than those of a man, and hence,
of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, says Gunton's
Magazine, in the Nishni-Voiga section,
we find the average pay of man and
horse to be about 72 cents per day; of
man aloue, "a cents; thatis, 80 cents for
horse and "a cents for man. The wom-
Ell receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural region the average
is: Horse, 23 cents; man, 20 cents;
woman. l3 cents. In the southern
steppe: Horse, 36 cents; man, 25 cents;
woman, 16 cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard Of living of Russian agri-
cultural faborers. Its meaning is. sim
ply, that human beings are cheaper
there than draft animals. In other
words. it costs less to keep them alive
In the southern steppe five women can
be employed more cheapIy than two
horses. Is il difficult to imagine the

One woman and Her Doctor.

A wealthy San Francisco woman who
had undergone an operation success
fully performed by the physician she
employed was surprised when bill Of
only $50 was presented to her. She
demonstrated, says an exchange, say
ing that the sum was not sufficient for
the work done for one in her circum-
stances. But the doctor persisted that
$50 was his charge for that sort Of
operation, and her circumstances had
nothing to do with it. She, however.
sent him check for $500, and was sur
prised when she later received a re-
ccipted bill for $3.50 for itemized serv-
ices rendered to the poor humanity of
the city. This pleased her so much
that she sent another check, which is
being worked out in the same way.

Senator Caffrey of Louisiana. i

Senator Caffrey of Louisiana, is
an anti-annexationist from way
back. He says of the treaty of
peace; L shall vote squarely
against the proposition to annex
the Philippines. The peace COM
mission had no business to pro-
vide for their annexation. These
islands would be the most expen-
sive gift that one nation ever re-
ceived from another. They can
never be a source of strength,
while they will always be an ele-
ment of domestic weakness and
subject to foreign attack in case of
hOstilities with another nation. /"

ing too much attention to things

enough to improve things at home.

moneys for mineral land and coal

few years this fund, from every
indication of mineral developments
to be made in the Territory, will
be large one, and give to these
two tribes of Indians as fine
schools as can be found in any of
the states. Besides this, the
Dawes commission is recommend
ing a system of free schools in the
Territory for the education of the
children of non-citizens, those who
have no interest in the school fund
belonging to the Indians. Some
of the towns have already voted
upon themselves a tax for free

Territory should do it.

SENATOR HALE of Maine is op-
posed to the acquisition of the
Philippine islands. He says
when the real facts are known
everybody, instead of being for
annexation of the islands, will
want to be rid of them. The
people of the United States will
find out that the commerce of the
Philippines is very limited in ex-
tent; that they are inhabited by a
people whose habits and wants for
bid an increase of trade, and that
under the scheme of annexation
presented to us, this trade is to be
shared equally with Spain and all
other competing nations. What is
called the open door policy cuts
down the interest of the United
States in the Philippine trade to a
point where it makes no figure in
our commerce. The entire trade

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

w. w. Nelms, a prominent
Texas Populist, gives the Popu-
lists all over the country the fol-
lowing sensible advice:
At present l see no reason for
the longer existence of the party
as an Independent organization,
but on the contrary, there are
many strong reasons why the Pop
Hlists of the south and west should
align themselves with the Demo-
cratic party. The campaign of
1900 promises to be the most i'm
portant one in the history of our
country. The main issues will be
monetary reform, opposition to the
continuance of the gold standard
and the participation. of national
banks in the governing business.
The hosts of plutocracy are united
in one solid phalanX, backed by the
corporations. trusts and moneyed
aristOcracy of the entire country,
and if the people expect to van
quish them, they, too, must unite
and present solid front to the
enemy. Every vote cast in 1900
against the Democratic party will
be vote in the interest of the gold
standard, and no true Populist
could be a party to such an act.
! 1t is the duty of the Populists to
return to the ranks of Democracy
Not because l no longer believe in
the principles of the Omaha plat
form, but because these principles
are substantially advocated by 9
party infinitely stronger than the
Populists, and through whom lies
the only hope of the final success
of those principles. The POpulist
party has served its destiny. 1t re.
directed the attention of the great
masses of the country to true prin'
ciples of Democracy. This resulted
in the complete annihilation al
Chicago of the controlling in
fluence of eastern Democrats in tn,
councils of the Democratic party
and the rehabilitation of those wis,
and just theories of government
laid down by the earlier and able
statesmen of our country. Th'
issue is simply this: The great bat
tie for monetary reform, anC
against the present inequitable dis
; tributiOn of the wealth of ou
country, will be fought to a finisl
in 1900, between the Democratic
party and the Republican party
Every vote east for a distinct ant
: separate Populist organization
' would be indirectly a vote for tn
Republicans. Under these circum
stances there is but one homes
course for Populists to pursue, ant
that is for them to align themselve
with the Democratic party, ant
thereby contribute their votes AM

. offers the slightest hope of success

THE VALLEY ROAD.

C ONTRACTS let for the construction of a sec ton of the Valley Road westward from Stock
 - ton to Point Richmond serve to remind the people of the progress that is being made toward completing the great enterprise which is to break down the monopoly of transportation between San Francisco and the San Joaquin, and which in all likelihood will eventually break down the trans continental monopoly as we'll
 This enterprise is not only the greatest now under way in California but it is one of the most important carried out in the history of the State The fact that it undertaken during period of depression was striking proof of the publicsprited energy of Californian capitalists, and the rapidty with which 1t has been pushed forward affords unmistakable evidence of their industrial vigor It is therefore gratifying to note that the enterprise was not mere temporary spurt to supply investment for unem- poyed capital but the beginning of patient and persistent work of vast magnitude which Is to go on until the cnch of the railway monopoly between San Francisco and the interior of the State completely broken and opened for better trade and freer trade in every direction.
 At both ends of the line the work goes steadily for ward At the western end the contracts just let pro- vide for the completion of two sections of track on either side of the Frankyn tunnel while at the south end the work of constructing the steel bridge over Kern River is going on, and grading on the other side has commenced, while preparations are being made for constructing the link from Visalia to Joaquina
 The activity displayed In the work and extension of the Valley Road ought to have the effect of arousnp the Southern Pacific Company to the task of com pleting the gap in the coast line. The company ob tained valuable grants of rights of way along the route of the proposed coast extension upon the un derstandng that the road would be immediately con- structed. Years have passed and the company has not fulfilled its agreement The work along the route IS hardly more than excuse for work
 The Valley Road constructs miles of tracks while the Southern Pacific sends promises to the people from whom it obtained rights of way that it will be- gin construction Tn earnest next spring next fa or next year The contrast is striking and clearly re- veals to the people the difference between railroad designed for the benefit of California and one oper- ated solely for the purpose of taxing traffic all will bear
