In the midst of
stock and trust

the land and land product values of the
West are unaffected.
Money is plenty for loaning on good

dred and twenty-five per cent a year.
Ahd while octopus stocks, like steel,
sugar and tobacco, drop from five to
twenty cents on the dollar, hogs,
corn, wheat, beef and all other staple
food products remain steady in value
and with no noticeable declines.

practical support for their hope and
belief in an address recently delivered
before the British Medical Association
by its President, DIR. Ward Cousins.
Among other things he discussed the
future progress of preventive medicine,
and predicted a steady and great decline
in the death rate in the coming century.
For the realization of this great object
he looked, above all-and rightly looked
to an improvement in the conditions
and in the dwellings of the working
classes.
And he was especially right in point
ing out that this improvement cannot
come from mere legislation. 1.-The great
mass of the people must become willing
and active helpers" he said, and in equal
ly true words he showed how largely the
prevention of suffering and the preser-
walton of health are within the reach of
the working classes in our great towns
if they will only cultivate temperance
and cleanliness. In this connection, we
are gratifed to observe the action of the
New York health board in distributing
among the people a circular letter, set
ing forth in clear and simple language
various easy methods to be observed for
the prevention of disease, the spread of
epidemics, and some sound advice
generally in regard to healthful living.
This is practical service for the public
good, and it will undoubtedly be success
full to a material degree in a further
decrease of the mortality rates. -Leslie's

CONSERVATISMS.

McKinleyism is Unconstitutional
ism.
Mormonism is a dead issue galvanized
into prominence by emotional ignorance
and political %depravity.
Polygamy as a church rite is prefer
able to promiscuous polygyny under
church sufferance.
The equality of man means the equality
of women in all things as well rs men,
or else all men were not created equal
after all.
1t is better that a few women suffer
in their feelings than that thousands are
damned to suffer by Christian in
difference.
Mans inhumanity to woman is the
mark of Christian civilization in the
nineteenth century. What will the
twentieth have to say about it?

NOT A NJ.

Prosperity II
populism do not
harness up together and make a matched
team. The state of Nebraska is now
prosperous and its chief source of wealth
is agriculture. The animal and cereal
products of Nebraska farms for the
year 1899, at present prices, make a cash
value of more than two hundred millions
of dollars.
With this prosperity the populist
leaders find fault. They belittle and
belle it. They antagonize capital, which
is to labor what steam is to machinery.
It makes the wheels go round. 1t is to
markets what power agents are to trans
portation, to mills and manufactures.
1t makes things move But capital and
croakers never pull together. Down
with the latter, up with the former.
Prosperity and populism will neither
pull nor trot in the same harness.

gloating over a few bank failures caused
by the tumble of trust stocks and other
soap bubble securities. D%e-pulpitized
preachers and other creedless, principle
less exhorters for the money fallacies
now howl with triumph from Texas to
Idaho. Real ruin, absolute poverty,
desolation and despair are the normal
conditions out of which populists and
their oracles are evolved. The recent
furry in Wall Street, which alone
furnishes money for the game of draw
poker-and takes the playing cards as
security-has been to Bryanarchy a new
breath of life. All it's orators, all it's
newspapers, have clapped their hands
with joy, and crowed, as though the
morning of a universal money panic
had already dawned. The incident has
merely brought into very general notice
the fact that populism, fusion, sophistry
in finance and latulent oratory can
flourish only in times of disaster, as
fire flies or June bugs are visible only in
darkness.

False Gods Responsible.
In giving the records of the states
which gave Mr.. Bryan his highest and
lowest per capita strength, and the COM
ments thereon, we do not hold him
personally responsible for the deplorable
condition as revealed by a compilation
of the facts, but as the leader, the
commander in. chief of the democracy
of '96 we do hold him responsible for
the present condition of democracy
which is far worse than at any time in
it's history. Space alone forbids an
analysis of the remaining 33 states, but
having the data at hand we may at a
later date give it to the public. The
people-the common people-the true
democracy have apparently been lulled
to sleep by flimfamming leaders and an
unscrupulous press, who have been sow
ing tares among the democratic wheat
and when the harvest of 1900 is ripe, it
is hoped the tares, together with the
fimfiamming leaders and interruptions
press, will be gathered together by the
people, the common laborers, the true
democracy and cast into political
oblivion. F. H. CLIFFORD.

And trouble all the place?

While some young reveller of year ago
Keeps his mute Christmas, now, beneath
