UneQualnd for Its PurDOse.

AS u covering for walls and ceilings,
there is nothing equal to Alabastine,
the celebrated product of the Alabas-
tine Company of Grand Rapids, Mich
1t is emincntly healthful and econom-
ical. Being porous. it permits ventila-
ton, in which it is superior to wall pa
pcrs, which, besides, are often tainted
with poison. This makes Aiaba, -He
unequal for use in sleeping rooms. Too
much thought cal not be given to the
condition of the apartments i'll which
we sleep, and they should be freed as
much as possible from the germs Of
disease and death. BY coating the
walls and ceilings of these rooms with
the pure AlabaStine. this danger is OBJ
waited. There is nothing more pure
and clcanly than this wall coating, the
base of which is Il natural rock product
that sets on the wall and hardens with
age. Alabastine does not rub or scale
off and requires no scraping before re-
tinting. There is absolutely no com
parison between the beautiful and dur
able Alabastinc and the dirty kali
somines and other rdiseaSe-eDyendering
appliances of which the world is now
weary. 1t is the only preparation
which can be properly applied by the
householder himself. 1t is only neceS-
sary to mix it with cold water. 1t is
then ready for use, and n child can
brush it on.
Alabastine is for sale by paint deal
ers, who, when requested, will give
inquirers card of tints, running from
white to twelve other beautiful colors.
Or this may be had, with a free copy of
their paper, THE Alabastine Era" by
writing to the company. Purchasers
should refuse any offers of something
Just as good" as Alabastine. By insist
ing on having Alabastine in packages
and properly labeled, they will get sat
isfactory results and beautiful walls.

A Study in Mechanics.

The Deering Ideal Mower, made in
Chicago, affords an interesting study in
advanced machines, and is as prefect a
machine as brain. Drawn and money can
build 1t is furnished throughout with
Deering Roller and Ball Bearings. The
Ideal has very wide truck and high
wheels, insuring great stability and am
pie traction Its gears are light, strong
and reliable. In this machine the amount
of lost motion is so slight that the instant
one of the mower wheels starts ii COM
municates power to the crank shaft and
knife, thus making it possible to start in
heavy grass without backing. The knife
may be removed in fifteen seconds, sim
ply by raising latch. 1t is the only NOW
er on the market equipped with Ball
Bearings of the bicycle pattern.

Aliens or Rebels?

The Federal immigration commits
sioner at San Francisco has forbidden
ten Filipinos TO land, on the ground
that they are alien contract labOrers.
This should make test question for
the United States Supreme Court to
settle If the people of the Philippines
are aliens, then those of them in arms
against the United States certainly can
not be rebels. And if they are not
aliens, then of course they are United
States citizens, and entitled to the priv
ilege of moving to and fro throughout
the territory of the United States and
getting work where they can find it

A POLITE CLERK,
John Wanamaker Has That Reputa-
tion in Philade phia.


There is one story Which a certain
employe in the great Wanamaker es-
tablishment is never tired of telling
about the head OF this establishment,
says the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post. AS many are aware, the
Hon. John Wanamaker is very proud
OF his big store, and is frequently seen
walking along its asles, stopping to
gaze at this, that or the other exhibit
with apparently as much interest as
any outsider.
Rarely, however, does lie come down
from his luxurious offices on the sec
Ond floor without wearing his hat, thus
appearing to the few who do not know
him as merely an on-looker. One ex-
ceedingly warm day he stood at the
foot of the stairs which led to the
transept with his hat in his hand, al-
lowing what few zephyrs there were
about to fan his brow. A fiurried shop
per, bewildered by the many diverging
alsles and avenues, spled the hatless
man, and feeling sure that he was a
noorwalker or at least an employe of
the house, she rushed up to him and
asked: Wont you please tell me
where l can find cotton batting?"
Certainly, madam" came the suave
answer, and with the genial manner
which is one Of his greatest charms
Mr.. Wanamaker led the relieved shop
per to the proper counter. "ShOw this
lady some cotton batting. and see if
you can't find her fan"
Thank you-thank you so much; you
are the most polite clerk l have met
in a long time. / only wish John Wan
amaker knew about you. Be certain
I'll tell him if / ever get the chance"
1t was now Mr.. Wanamaker's turn
to tS.nk her, and it was some time be-
fore the clerk at the counter recovered
from his astonshment enough to tell
the woman the name Of the supposed
flOorwalker.

terribly.
Mrs. Maundsley-Does your husband

Mrs. Blimbers-Oh, yes, every morn
Ing.
Mrs. Maundsley-I'm awfully glad to
know 1t. Some of the neighbors have
suspected that you We're responsible
for the horrible condition of his face.
and have even been advised not to as
sociate with you on account of it. Now

Mckinley Out for Votes.

The President has Il right to pay a
visit to the West if he wishes to do so,
and his friends have right TO pretend
that his visit is for some other than its
real purpose, but the more they pre-
tend, the more general will be the con-
viction that they are only pretending.
As the days go OF the chances for elect
ing Il Democratic President appear to
be improving, and the Frightening of
the Democratic prospect is not good
omen, as the President sees it. 1t is
understood that Mark Hanna expects
that some Eastern States that went for
Mckinley in 1896 will go against him
in 1900, and it is necessary that the
loss should be made good through the
recovery of some of the Western
States that voted against Mckinley
three years ago. 1t is easy to under
stand why difficult and delicate task
of this nature should be intrusted to
the President himself, and this has led
10 the projecting of the Western trip
that is to have no politics in it-Bing-
hamtOn Leader.

ISSUES NEXT YEAR.

Discussion as TO what the dominant
Issue will be during the campaign of
1900 is attracting more or less atten-
ton from editors and politicians just
now. There can be no harm in discuss
ing this matter. but ii is not at all like
ly that the issues can be made up with
any degree of certainty before the time
for conflict arises. In this city not long
ago William J. Bryan reiterated his
belief that the Democratic national
convention will "reaffirm the Chicago
platform" But" he added, mo man
has q right at this time TO say what
the Democratic platform will be. You
do not know what the next twelve
months will bring forth" And when
asked, "Will free silver be the dominant
issue in the next -campaign! he re-
piled: 1T is altogether too early TO
say what will be the dominant issue,
but whatever the issue is the Demo
cratic party will meet it squarely.
When the combat opens the dominant
issue will be that which is nearest TO
the people. 1t will be the question OF
immediate Importance. 1t will not be
n matter of ancient history. nor will 1t
be an academic theory. 1t will he a
live question. The currency question
is important, but there are other Ques-
tions which may prove of more instant
and vital import. The Republicans
may force the money matter to the
front 10y attempting to secure gold leg
islaton in the next Congress, but such
action is extremely problematical. I'm
perialism may have run its course be-
fore the Presidential campaign begins,
or it may have developed into burn
ing issue. But the trusts will be in evil
dence. stronger, more dangerous, more
insolent than ever.
The Republican party may endeavor
to fool the people with paltering
pledge to oppose trusts. but this scheme
will not work, and it is quite likely that
one of the dormant questions before
tile people in 1900 will be that concern
ing the trusts.-Chicago Democrat.

On Dangerous Ground.

Imperialism places itself above the
constitution and ignores it as the trusts
and combines ignore the laws when
ever they come in conflict with their
designs. This is Imperialism of the
most dangerous kind and unless the
people wake up and manfully do battle
for the rights guaranteed to them by
the fundamental law of the land there
will be no end to the assumption of
power by an administration which has
already gone SO far outside of the law.
The matter is deserving of the most
serious consideration Of all fair-mind-
ed, liberty-lOving people who do not
want to see constitutional government
displaced by the absolute power Of
Imperialism. The administration Is
venturing on dangerous ground when
in its mad desire for supremacy it an
nuls the fundamental law of the land.

"Currcncy Eeform."

After much tribulation the House
Republican Committee has, it is alleged.
brought forth scheme of currency
reform" This scheme is not so broad,
nor so long as that devised by the In
dianapolis sound money convention
1t is compromise and it will satisfy
nobody Briefly summarized, it is as
follows:
"The redemption of all obligations of
the government in gold on demand.
Grcenbacks, when once redeemed for
gold, TO be reissued only for gold. Per
mitting national banks 10 issue notes
to the par value of their government
bonds deposited in the treasury, liz
stead of 30 per cent, as ut present.
Permitting the minimum capital of ma
tional banks to he $4,000, instead of
$4,000. as ut present"
There is nothing in this about max
ing silver dollars redeemable in gold,
nor is there Il suggestion of making all
the outstanding obligations of this ma
ton gold obligations. Neither is there
a hint of placing the issuing of paper
money entirely in the hands of the
banks Ii seems that the House Re-
publican caucus committee was not
prepared to approve wild cat money
secured only by the office furniture of
the banking houses. 1t must not be
concluded, however, that the schemes
of the money power TO place the gold
standard absolutely in power will be
abandoned. The plan suggested by the
caucus is simply an entering wedge"
Later on stronger methods will be ad-
vocated. If the Republicans remain in
power the wild cat money scheme
will be urged, and if the House and
Senate can be controlled such plan
will finally be put into execution. The
only hope for the people to escape
slavery TO the money power rests In
the success of Democracy.
