EPIGRAMS.

The center of rational government is
the home. Its growth is centrifugal;
its radius, humanity; but its circumfer-
ence Is the eternal.
Labor is the only true standard of
value.
Some persons are of such credulous
fiber that they permit vanity to clothe
with reality the shadowy forms of a
fictitious ancestry.
Ananias was saint compared with
the man who manufactures statistics to
prop a weak argument.
Politics beckons the good man but
is embraced by the rascal.
When a misister of the gospel decks
truth in the trappins of the vaudeville
stage he should not use the Bible as
prompt book.
When matters touching the public
are discussed in secret between public
servants and private interests honesty
grows nervous and equity is in extreme
jeopardy.

STRAY THOUGHTS.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Who are the most Objectionable in a
car-the women who spread their
gowns over too much sitting space or
the men who barricade the isle with
their feet?
Do not always judge too harshly a
householder by the pictures on the
walls. They may have been gifts from
persons that he or she couldn't afford
to offend, and so offended their own
taste instead.
The wisest woman will sometimes
show her weakness when it comes to
the question Of consulting fortune
teller.
The reason many a man does not
marry is that he is too much engaged.
1t doesn't matter il beauty is only
skin deep, provided the skin is worn
right side out
The woman who is told what she
said when she was delirious must feel
good deal as the sober man who is
informed of his antics when he was
drunk.

The Major started reddening, and
then raised his eyeglasses.

after long and insulting stare.

may turn us out Just as soon as you
can legally, but you shall not intrude
upon us until then. Another thing.
Major Topp, Willie King won't let you
harm us. And when Willie and are
married, four years hence, we'll turn
you out of the stolen house you are
living in and mamma shall have it,"
The Majors face became CHASTITY

E1Congressman Morgan Is. Williams,
whose membership in congress ceased
on Saturday, retires with more prestige
than any of his predecessors who have
represented this district in congress for
many years. Mr.. Williams did not shine
as a brilliant statesman, nor startle the
nation with his knowledge of public
affairs, but by perservering and unosten-
tatious work succeeded in procuring the
passage of a bill for the erection of a
public building in Wilkesbarre, an
achievement which none of those who
were sent to congress before him could
accomplish. Wilkesbarreans will be
ungrateful to Mr.. Williams if they ever
fail to show him the esteem and respect
he has deserved at their hands by pro-

"An American Internal Policy"


From the Knights of Labor Journal.
A recent editorial in the New York
Journal, signed by its editor and pro-
prietor, Mr.. William R. Hearst, sets
forth the following five planks OF plat
form for IAN American Internal Policy"
First: Public ownership OF public
franchises The values created by the
community should belong to the COM
nunity.
Second: Destruction Of criminal
trusts. No monopolization OF the nat
ional resources by lawless private com
binations more powerful than the peo-
pies government.
"Third A gradual income tax. Every
citizen to contribute to the support OF
the government according to his means,
and not according to his necessities.
Fourth: Election OF senators by the
people. The senate, now becoming the
private property OF corporations and
bosses, to be made truly representative
and the state legislatures to be redeemed
from recurring scandals.
Fifth: National, state and municipal
improvements OF the public school
system. As the duties of citizenship are
both general and local, every govern
ment, general and local, ,should do its
share towards fitting every individual
TO perform them.
1t is certainly most remarkable de-
parture from the ancient, il not alto
gether time-honored, conservative hab-
it's, practices, and teachings of the vast
majority of American daily publications
for newspaper of the circulation and
influence of the New York Journal to
advocate a platform made up of five
such radical propositions.
Notwithstanding its radicalism, this
platform is far from new. For more
than a.quarter Of century the Order OF
the Knights of Labor has earnestly ad-
vocated and persistently demanded
about everything contained In 1t, and
good deal moro besides. With the
metropolitan press and the newspapers
OF the country generally solidly arrayed
against us, progress has been slow, and
except in the ranks of labor organiza
tions, converts have been few.
We therefore heartily welcome this
accession of the New York Journal as i
most timely and valuable reinforce
ment, and the example it sets ought II
be followed by every newspaper whicl
supported Bryan and the Chicago plat
form OF 1896. The Journals proposition
should be kept we'll to the front unit
the nominating conventions meet mex

Of Cape Horn, and will be absent a
year. Should the boy fall overheard
or otherwise disappear during this voy-
age I will give you $4,000 and this
brig the very day of your return to
Brooklyn!"
THE offer is liberal"
And you accept it?"
"Of course l dol"
1T will not be difficult" suggested
Major Topp in an icy whisper. "A
single push some dark night or the
cutting of foot rope-but here he
comes!"
Even as he spoke Willie King came
hurrying into the cabin, his handsome
race flushed with pleasurable excite
ment.
Il am Just in time to see you off,
Capt. Beeman," he said, not noticing
the guilty agitation of the two plot
ters. THE wind is fair and the
weather fine. A good voyage to you
Captain! Bring me some rare shells
when you return. They are for lit
tie girls cabinet and must be pretty"
"Ay, ay, Master Willie" responded
Capt. Beeman. Haven't you seen my
collection of shells in yonder state
room? Take your choice now"
He threw open the door Of the state
room in question and Willie stepped
forward and looked within.
With quick thrust Beeman pushed
him into the little room and hurriedly
locked the door, just as Major Topp
stole away in silence.
A hurried trampling Of feet succeed
ed, blending with the voices of the
crew as they cast off and in another
minute the brig was on her way down
the harbor.
The boy was fairly caught Fate's
net held him even closer than he
dreamed. Its meshes were impene-
trable, and through the tightening web
peered the hollow eyes of Death.

thundered. flourishing his cane. DO
you see that brig there in the harbor ?"
and he pointed it out. That's my
brig, you little sauce-box, and my good
for-nothing nephew is aboard of her
and on his way to the Pacific Ocean!"
Ruth uttered wild cry, regarding
the brig more closely.
ooh, my poor Willie!" she exclaim-
ed. you've kidnapped him!"
Without another glance at the Major
she dashed down the steps toward the
gate, hurrying in the direction of the
shore.
Upon the shore, within two hundred
yards Of Mrs. Lyman's residence, dwelt
an old sailor, veteran of the Civil
War, named Nicholas Collins. He had
an affection for Mrs. Lyman and Ruth
that amounted to alteration. To this
friend went the weeping girl, there
fore, as straight as she could go.
ooh, Nicholas" she called to him,
having the good fortune to find him in
his little garden close by the water,
they've taken Willie to sea against his
wishes in the brig yonder"-
(Which is hove to, see. But who Is
carrying off Willie?"
Major Topp and Capt. Beeman!"
Collins comprehended the situation
in an instant.
Into that boat, then" he cried with
compressed lips as he led the way to
it, and in another instant It was flying
toward the brig.
