The man who has been voting the
Populist or Democratic ticket because
of free trade or free silver has re-
sponsibi.ity on him this fall. The
Demo- Popu.ist ticket is not represent
ing free silver or free trade if it can
help it. 1t has conceived the idea
that in order to win a new issue must
be secured. and it has raised that of
'anti-impcria!ism The meaning of
the word anti-imper;alism as u,eI by
the Fusion politicians is opposition to
the government in its conduct of the
war. No remedy Is proposed No
method of honOrably withdrawing is
suggested The Fusionists simply
hope Aguinallo will lick Otis in order
to dishearten the American people
enough to elect them to Office. To
get possession o: few petty Offices
they prefer to see American soldiers
killed or defeated and the American
flag taken down in disaster or dis
grace.
1t is mp to the individual Democrat
and Poprlist if lac will stay with the
'-haui-down-thc-fag" for frss silver.
There ~ is no reason why the Demo
Populist OF 1896 should vote the Demo-
Populist ticket in 1899 unless it is. to
beat the Republicans withou. regard
to consequences to the country. The
issue has been changei without the
knowledge or consent OF the rank and
.ile and they do not have to be against
thei. government if they do not want
to- There is nothing in the Populist
platform Of 1896 that makes . man an
ally OF Aguinaldo. The matter is now
enc of individual responsibility. The
voter who belonged with the allied
forces three years ago must decide
his position on the new question: Are
ycu for or against your own country?
TO you want the United States TO lick
or sc: licked?

LETTERS TO MAIL.

Absen1-Ahded Nan Discovers q 2ev
Way Of Forgetting Them.
THE folks at home. with a blind
trustfulness that cannot understand"
said the absent-minded man, "still
give me letters to mail, though they
know it may be days before l get 'em
into the postofice. Tie and again,
carrying letter in my hand SO as not
to forget it, have walked right past
lamp-post letter boxes and toted the
letter right up to the ticket Office of
an elevated station, forgetting that 1
was carrying it until l wanted to reach
for money to buy ticket with. Then
I'd put the letter in my pocket and
that was gocdby letter, perhaps for
days. But this morning l did some
thing different: l started out before
breakfast with letter that l was to
mail, and two cents with which to buy
stamp for it, the letter in one hand
and the money in the other. reached
a sub-station of the postofiice that is
in our neighborhood in safety and
bought the stamp all right and stuck
it on the letter. looking, as I did so,
at curious and yet familiar-looking
tall red box with rounded top, that
stood there by the desk. Still hold
ing the letter in my hand SO as not to
forget it, 1 carried it into a store
where l had an errand to buy some
thing for the house, and there 1 set
the letter down on the counter where I
couldn't fail to see it while l reached
in my pocket for money. When l
walked up the steps OF my house
little later with an appetite improved,
II anything, by the breath of fresh air,
it suddenly came to me that had left
the letter in the store, and 1 turned.
Of course, and went back for it. When
I came to the corner nearest the store
I found the young man who had wait
ed on me just dropping my letter in
the letter box there. Now, in this
case, my forgetfulness resulted in the
prompt mailing of the letter, but while
I am, Of course, pleased over this.

thought that I may now develop my
forgetfulness in some ether new form

There q q GENTLEMAN In this city
who Is fond Of telling the story OF how
he got his first start in the world, says
the St Louis Globe Democrat Before
I was married." he said. Il received .
pretty fair salary, spending every cent
OF 1t as I went along. Then fell In
love. but. try as I would, could not
see how two could manage on what had
scarcely been enough for me. We
talked 1t over, she and /. and consfd-
cred the question Of ways and means.
She thought We could manage with my
salary, and we were both so desperate
~ In love with one another that We
were brave to the point of rashness,
and were married. I did not care to
assume the responsibility of making
that salary go around. and so questions
Of finance were left to my wife. We
lived modestly. but very comfortably,
and gradually added pretty things to
the little stock Of furniture we had be-
gun with. until at the end Of five years
we had all We had space for. or
course. my salary had increased IN that
time. but SO had the family, and there
were hundreds Of demands for which
we had made no allowance when We
discussed the subject before marriage.
One day, in the course of the days
work. made the discovery that. II
had $1,000 to use Immediately I could
make several thousands before the
week was out. That night I went
home dispirited and discouraged. I
began to think Of the dogs life was
leading. living from day to day with
no prospect of anything better as far
as l could see, and by the time had
reached home l was cross and tacit-
turn, but good dinner put me in q
better humOr, and as we sat together
in the dining room after the children
had gone to ed told the dear woman
about the fortune that we had missed
because 1 did not have a paltry $1,000.
'Hcv soon will you need it?' she asked,
her that the money would have to be
forthcoming within the next three
days, and asked her if she did not wish,
she had a fairy god-mother to supply
the want. I will have it in three days.
she replied, confidently. and I took the
answer as joke and thought little
more about it, but imagine my surprise
on the third day when she handed me
a check for the amount. There had
not been year. since we were married
that she did not save at least couple
of hundred dollars, and she had kept
her own counsel about it, too. lending
it in small sums to the best advantage
A thousand dollars may not seem much
to you, but it was a mighty large sum
to me in those days. l made the in
vestment and made several thousand.
and the first thing did was to pay her
back what she had lent me. The little
bit Of capital then had was all need
ed to make start with, and from it
has come all the money l have since
been able to make"

The use of barbed wire is increasing
largely in southern Italy. 1t is used for
trailing vines and is found of great
service in keeping thieves out Of the
VINEYARDS after dark. The vines being
in many cases only a few feet apart,
it is a matter of considerable dihiculty
to avoid the barbs, even in the day
time, and at night i" is practically inn
possible. The wire need be only
