You are very unreasonable, Hill

What have I to live for?" She cried.
II have no one to love me- My hus-

me less than his horse or his dog; he

Kind" she repeated. He does

Getting Out OF Delhi

Perhaps the most attractive feature
Of the Sound" money theory is tho
proposal to "get this country out of
debt"
How do the able financiers OF the
Republican party propose to get this
nation out of debt? Simply by redeem
ing all of its noninterest-bearing notes
with interest-bearing obligations. The
theory is beautiful in it's ingenious
simplicity.
What would be thought Of the tusi-
ness ability of a merchant who, having
creditors perfectly satisfied with his
notes of hand, bearing no interest.
should say: Gentlemen, it is true
you are finding no fault with nv notes
and are, indeed, anxious to get more
OF them, although they bear no inter-
est, yet l have resolved to call all of
those notes in and to give you interest
bearing paper, which agree to receem.
or which my children or great grand
children will redeem in gold?"
Such a course of conduct would h.
considered foolish, unnecessary and
unbusinesslike. But it is exactly such
course as that which is advocated
by the gold clique, who wish to retire
government paper by refunding it in
interest-bearing gold bonds.
Every dollar OF United States monov
is just as good for all purposes in
this country as every other dollar, and
100 cents in gold will buy no more
than 100 cents in silver, or in paper.
Who is it, then who wants gold? The
man who deals in money alone. the
gold Spectator, the exporter and thu
bondholder.
These are the men who have evolved
the brilliant theory of paying debt
by making it Chicago Dis
patch.

THANK YOU, PAPA"

Llnued, IN q low tone, Il begin to dis
like him.
ooh, my dear, that is very wrong
very wrong, indeed! A woman
should never dislike her husband"
Should a husband ever dislike his
wife," she asked. Because my hus-
band does dislike me- I am frightened
at myself, for if I we're to be here
much longer should hate him; hate
him for his incidence, his self-indul-
gence, his weakness of Characteristic
him, because through him my whole
life is spoiled
Hush, Hildred! I will not listen to
you. You are unreasonable. You have
everything that woman's heart can
wish for; you have position; you are
surrounded with luxury; you have
boundless wealth. What more can you
want?"
Il have all that, and I am an I'M
loved wife. l have all that, yet I
would change places with the poorest
peasant woman whose husband loves
her.
That sounds very we'll, my dear, but,
were you to try it, you would soon
change your opinion. Be content with
what you have; do not long for what
you have not. I wonder at your want
of reason-your want Of sense. You
are like child crying for the moon.
How many girls in England would
have been glad of the chance to be
Countess of Carayen?
II hate the title" she said, with a
stamp of her foot.

Abraham Lincoln said: Thank God

where President LINCOLN differed from
the federal courts of today.
An association has been formed in
New York city for the public control
OF franchises, incorporated under the
laws of the state. The object of the
association is set forth in its platform
as follows: !. All franchises which de-
pend upon exclusive rights in public
property should be granted only for
public purposes and for limited peri
ods, and should be made to contribute
from their value, created by the COM
munity, their full share of public ex-
penses, thus relieving personal proper
". buildings and other improvements
from the increasing burden of taxes.
T. Monopoly, the result of special priv.
llese, rather than capital or produc-
uon, which are the creation Of indi-
Vldual effort, should be the primary
source of public revenue. 3. The gov
eminent must control natural mopop-
olles Chose public services which.
from their nature, do not admit Of COM
petltlon), otherwise these monopolies
Will control the government 4. Such
public services as are not natural
monopolies should be preserved to free
and open competition. This is the
single tax platform in brief.
When the people govern and plutoc
racy has been driven from power and
banished, Populism will have fulfilled
| its mission.
We like high wheat prices as we'll as
the Republicans; better, probably, as
Popullsts have more wheat to sell
than Republicans. That is why we all
shall object to the low price at which
wheat will sell next fall, and every
succeeding fall when there are no
great crop failures, as long as we suf.
fer from the single gold standard.
In the meantime, Accent cotton for
the farmers of the south, together with
hgh prices for trust-produced cotton
fabrics and reduced wages for the cot
ton mill operatives, are fair samples
OF the workings of the present finan-
ella! policy. There will have to be a
change in this policy before many
years have passed
