the government establish bureau OF
issue and redemption which shall is
sue notes to them which they in turn
will loan to the people on which to
transact the business of the country
while the government is to be bur-
dened with the responsibility and ex-
pense of redeeming their notes in gold.
The monumental cheek OF the bank
ing combine is equaled only by their
contempt for the intelligence of the
voters. But the Republican party is
in their hands and must do their bid
ding and every Republican member Of
Congress realizes that in order to
stand any chance Of public honors at
the hands of his party he must be the
choice of the bankers.
During the past thirty years the
money power has been gradually tight
ening its grip upon the Republican
party, but never until 1896 was an un-
conditional surrender of the party ma
chinery made to them.
The Republican masses have always
upheld the greenback that saved the
Union, aud heretofore there has al
ways been a sufficient number of Con-
gressmen in both parties who would
combine against any attempt to de-
stroy them. But the bankers are fully
determined that this shall be accom-
plished by the Fiity-sixth Congress.
There is one way and only one in
which the people can defeat this ne
farious scheme. If the individual vot-
ers manifest an interest in this ques-
ton and convince their member of
Congress that he will be held to a
strict account for the manner in which
he shall vote upon this question they
will hesitate before incurring the dis
pleasure of the people if they believe
that it will result in their own politi-
cal downfall.
The voters can always depend more
upon a member of Congress striving
to do such things as will win him
favor among the voters and avoiding
such things as will lose him favor or
cause his retirement. But in the 40.
sence OF a lively interest in public
questions among the people the con-
gressmen are afraid that the banks
will defeat them if they do not obey
their dictates. They know that the
banks are always active and on the
alert. They also realize that the peo.
pie may be Indifferent. This accounts
for the success OF banks and corpora
tiOns in securing legislation favorable
to them and explains why the peoples
interests are neglected. Under q pop
ular government like ours the will of
the people is supreme. Evil legisla-
tion is only possible through the con-
sent OF the people. Consent is usually
given to bad legislation through indif-
ference and inaction on the part of the
people. When the people are inactive
corporations and monopolies have
easy sway. Education alone is the
cure for misgovernment. Indifference
is the child of ignorance.

SHE SANG FOR DEATH.
The Pathos and Tragedy Of Emma Abbott's
Passing Away.

Passing Away.
II. c. Stevenson in Atlanta Constitution.
One night in the city of Denver, To-
Gated at the foot and in plain view OF
the Rocky mountains, Emma Abbott
was billed to appear in" Faust" In the
same city most attractive and beau.
tiful lS-year-old girl, belonging to one
OF the wealthiest families, lay in the
last stages OF that fell enemy of the
human race - consumption. Some
weeks before the arrival of the COM
pany she said to those around her.
"Oh, hope the sun will shine and
the weather will be warm and genial,
so l can hear Miss Abbott sing once
more. l think I could then pass
away peacefully and without one
single regret" But there came with
the queen of the lyric stage q north
ern hurricane-with the very air
charged with icicles, which penetrated
the lungs. Some one told Miss Abb
bott of the grievous disappointment
of the dying girl. She went to the
opera-house and never sang more
sweetly, and as soon as it was over and
the audience dismissed called her car
riage and directed it to drive to the
home Of the young lady.
The scene which followed was
worthy of the finest brush ever
welded by the grand old masters.
There lay the dying earth angel, with
pallid lips, hectic cheeks and lustrous
eyes and the light OF immortal beauty
shining upon her face. Standing be-
side her, in one OF her richest robes
(,he one she had worn that night,
sparkling with pearls, rubies and
diamonds, stood the almost divine
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was "The
Old Folks at Home," and then fol-
lowed II Know My Redeemer Liveth." !"
The finale of this weird scene was
"Rock of Ages Cleft for Me, Let Me
Hide Myself in Thee" And then
Miss Abbott bent over the frail form
and kissed her an eternal farewell.
Soon after the spirit passed into the
wild winds which rang through the
wild mountains near by-set sail
for that haven from which the first
homeward bound bark is yet to be
seen-the stainless soul waited to the
stainless heavens by the sweetest
music ever heard ON earth-into the
melodies of paradise birds.
Miss Abbott returned to her room
at the hotel and retired. Some time
during the night she awoke with a
pain in the left lung. 1t rapidly grew
worse. A physician was summoned.
Then another, and another, who ap-
piled every remedy they could COM
mand. All to no purpose. 1t was ty-
phoid pneumonia in its worst form.
The black camel was kneeling at her
door. Angels OF the heavenly choir
had that night listened to her voice in
the sickroom and sent for her to come
home to them.
In three days that voice which had
so often raised the souls OF men and
women to the noblest, the grandest
heights in holy ecstasy, was forever
stilled in death-gone forth into-the
night.
So fades the summer cloud away.
So sinks the gale when storms are DER.
SO gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.

A Walters Dilemma,

1t was i'll one OF the large down.
town restaurants that the short little
woman and her tall husband went for
dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters?" asked the
man, glancing over the bill OF fare.
Yes" said the short little woman,
us she tried in vain to touch her toes
to the floor. "And, John, / want a
hassock."
John nodded, and, as he handed his
order to the waiter, he said, Yes, and
bring a hassock for the lady"
zone hassock?" asked the waiter
with what John thought more than
ordinary interest, as he nodded in the
affirmative. Still the waiter did not
go, but brushed the tablecloth with a
towel and rearranged the articles on
it several times, while his face got
very red. Then he came around to
Johns side, and, speaking soto poce,
said: "Say, mister, l haven't been
here long, and Pm not on to all these
things. Will the lady have the has
sock boiled or fried"
A YOUNG mother, in despair at ever
teaching her idle little girl, aged four,
her letters, and thinking that perhaps
the child knew more than she would
admit, said, "Now, Katie, 1 won't try
to teach you to-day; you shall be
mother, and teach me my letters" F"
May I really and truly be mother?"
asked Kate. "Yes," my darling"
Let's begin, then," was the response,
You've been very good child, to-
day, and you may have whole holi'
day" And Katie shut up the book
and ran off laughing.

GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE.
A Curious Method by Which II Nay be Avoided.


New York Herald.
Anybody can emigrate from Ger.
many before he is II years old without
running the risk, in case he should re.
turn, OF being forced to join the army,
but he will be allowed to remain only
nine months in Germany. If he stays
longer he becomes again a German
citizen and must do military service.
If he leaves when he has been little
less than nine months in the country
and stays away for two or three weeks
he can return without running any
danger and can stay another nine
months. If he does this every nine
months he can live as long as he likes
in Germany.
As soon as a man is II years old he
cannot leave Germany without serving
in the army. He can, however, get
permission to leave the country until
he is 90 years old if somebody is will
ing to give bond that he will return
and serve his term.
In case a man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is As years old, as he would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve longer term than the original
one. After man is As years old he
can 60 back to Germany without be-
ing punished and live there as long as
he likes.
In case deserter is caught in Ger
many before he is As years old he is
sentenced to two or three years. i'm
prisonment in fortress and all his
personal property is contiscated,

Bigger and better than ever the fourth
Boston Food Fair will oren in Mechanics
building Oct. ,, under the auspices and
personal management of the Boston
Retail Grocers' association, whose three
previous exhibitions proved such mark
ed successes. Food products, in infinite
variety, attractively displayed and
practically demonstrated, will include
many novelties; while multitude of
devices and appliances of utility in the
home will broaden the scope and increase
the attractiveness of the exhibition.
Music has always been prominent
feature of these fairs, but this year the
management has made lavish expendi-
lures in this department, having engaged
the famous Sousa and his band, Lieut..
Dan Godfrey and his world.renowned
English musicians, Reeves American
band of Providence, Jean Missud's Salem
Cadet band, the First Regiment band,
the National orchestra, Peterson's Or
chestra and other well known organiza-
tions. Thus the food fair of 1899 will
be grand musical festival as well as a
great industrial exposition. Miss Nellie
Dot Rancho of Chicago, who received
the gold medal at last years Omaha ex-
hibition, will have charge of the Domes-
tic Science department and give daily
lectures, talks and demonstrations on
the preparation and serving of food, free
to the ladies'. Whichever way the visi-
tor turns novel surprises are In store.
An art gallery, a sportsman's paradise, a
gypsy camp and a score of other enter
tanning features will afford pleasure and
variety. The restaurant and basement
cafe are controlled this year by Caterer
Bow of Norumbega and Marine Park
fame, and popular prices will prevail.
The most liberal policy has been adopt
ed by the management, who will distrib-
ute thousands of beautiful silver souve-
Mrs every morning. Many excursions
are being arranged from all parts of New
England.
