True as GOSpeL

Government legal tender money mas
always been the champion of liberty
and the friend of the people. In every
important war for freedom it has
played an important part on the side
of the oppressed. We need this friend
of liberty" in peace as we'll as in war.
Therefore we oppose and condemn the
efforts that are persistently being made
by the banking and capitalistic inter-
ests Tor classes) to retire our beloved
greenbacks. Further, we demand that
all money shall be issued directly by
the government, and that every dollar
so issued shall be, before the law, equal
to any other dollar authorized by the
United States government.
We favor and strongly urge the es-
tablishment of postal savings banks,
so successful in other progressive coun-
tries. The rich use United States bonds
as a safe and profitable investment for
their surplus capital. The masses OF
the people desire, and deserve to have
postal savings banks, for the conven-
lent and safe keeping of the savings OF
the poor.-Dr. Taylor.

1t Is stated that the republicans OF
the United States senate committee on
the currency cannot agree upon the
proposition that congress shall make
a formal declaration of the gold stand
ard. 1t Is understood that majority
of them are in favor of such declara-
ton, but one or two dissent. There is,
therefore, reason to apprehend that In
respect to this very important matter
there will be division among repub-
licans in congress which may result in
no action being had. This would be
distinctly disappointing to the sound
money sentiment Of the country and
we think would prove embarrassing to
the republican party, since 1t would
be used by the opponents Of the gold
standard as evidence that the party Is
not honestly and sincerely in favor OF
that tandard.-Omaha Bee.
If your party is honestly and sin
cerely in favor of the gold standard, y
why did it lie to the people so shame
fully at st. Louis? Your party has
never yet declared in favor of that
standard. On the contrary you asked
the nations of the world to help you
let go of as much of that standard as
you already had. If you are honestly
in favor of the single standard you
obtained a million votes in 1896 under
false pretenses. You elected your pres
ident by promising the people bimetal-
ism. No national convention has ever
withdrawn that sacred declaration.
The great republican party is as much
pledged to bimetalism as is any of the
other parties, the only difference being
that you will take it when England
gives permission, while we propose to
have it without the aid or consent oil
any other nation on earth.

Establish It's Own Infamy,

The silence which the fusion press
OF the state maintains regarding the
senate investigating committee is OPP
pressive. Can it be the editors have
been dropped a hint that the less said
about the disclosures the better?-
Omaha Bee.
The fusion press of the state de-
spises that so-called committee so
much that 1t refuses to waste any space
in commenting on its ridiculous per-
formances. A smelling committee, that
gives the minority no representation,
smells much worse than does any
that II Is expected to investigate. Very
little attention will be paid by honor
able men to anything said or done by
a committee that would accept such a
disgraceful position. No gentleman
would serve ON partisan committee
so constituted; no witness will ap-
pear before it except he comes with
partisan purpose and with perjury
on his lips. The committee was ap-
pointed for the purpose Of blackening
the reputation of innocent men but
the purpose Of it's appointment will
fail and its cowardly action will only
establish its own infamy. That COM
mittee is a fraud; it is unparliamen-
tary and has no standing among the
people. There is no appropriation by
the state for it's maintenance and 1t
will be supported by voluntary contri-
buttons from corrupt men and rascally
corporations. II it ever makes any
report-which is doubtful-that report
will be rejected with scorn and con-
tempt by the legislature, which next
time will be elected by the people
instead of the politicians. The Pop
ulist editors have received no hint
in reference to this matter, except
that which comes from their own
personal integrity and good horse
sense. Nom Conformist.

LINCOLN and Mckinley.

There can't be very much to do In
the presidents office. If there Is ne
does not do it. The position seems to
be a soft job with little to do and much
to get. Mckinley spends great deal
of his time in pleasure excursions. In
the winter he went to Georgia and to
Jekyl island, the heaven of the million
aires; in the spring he spent some time
in Virginia, at the springs, resting and
taking treatment for the tobacco habit.
In the early summer he went to New
England to make few speeches and
pull the tail OF the American eagle to
make him scream He spends the
month of August on Lake Champlain
where he went en- a special train ac-
companied by a large retinue Of at
taches and servants. In autumn he
will be in Nebraska trying to make
peace with lot of volunteers whom he
shamefully neglected in the field. He
will keep up this eternal swing around
the circle until March 4th, 1901, at
which time he will take vacation that
will last for all eternity. Here is a
contrast to the official life Of McKip-
ley. Abraham Lincoln found some
work to do in the presidents Office and
he stayed there diligently employed for
over four years. He made some busi-
ness, but no pleasure excursions. He
went to the soldiers home occasionally.
He visited the sick and wounded SOL
diers in the hospitals. He went into
the enemy's country once to treat with
the rebels. Mckinley hasn't been in
the enemy's country. Lincoln went to
Richmond after the capture, but be
didn't visit pleasant springs and breezy
lakes. He didn't go to sunny southland
in winter or to cool northern lakes and
groves in summer. He didn't so off
on political missions or travel thou
sand miles to tell the soldiers that he
loved them. They knew that without
telling. With Lincoln the presidency
was tragedy while with Mckinley it
is picnic. Yes, there is great con-
trast between the first republican pres
ident there ever was, and the last one
there will ever be.

Brass beds are incomplete without
valance of some kind as finishing
touch, and this should harmonic with
or be of the same material as the other
trappings of the bed. There is rad
now among fashionable people to
drape beds in heavy effects and rather
dark colorings, Persian or Indian
shawl being considered most deslra-
BILE; but many Of us still retain the
prejudice in favor of inviting white
beds, especially where one Is not
Obliged to make the one piece serve as
a divan by day and bed by night
Cleanliness is a necessary adjunct 10
bed fittings, and these should De SO
constructed that they may be frequent
ly removed, shaken or laundered, and
easily replaced. The simplest way OF
adjusting a valance Is to spread
smoothly between the spring and the
mattress a fairly heavy cotton sheet;
to this is basted the valance, which Is
already cut and finished to the right
depth: also fulled on coarse drawing
thread. 1t should be slit up anu
hemmed at the corners to admit OF lts
passing smoothly around the posts OF
the bedstead, and in most cases IT
need be on but three sides Of the bed,
as the head is generally against the
wall After being basted firmly 1t Is
stitched by machine, when 1t is in con-
dition to be removed and done up al
most as easily as an ordinary sheet.
Shield pins holding it to the spring at
each corner keep 1t in place during the
daily process of turning the mattress
above it, The fullness allowed should
oe almost once and half that OF the
measurement around the bed. The ma
terials selected may be cretonne, dim
ity or any goods preferred that is ap-
propriate to whatever style of quilt
and shams or pillow roll may be in
use. A simple and pretty one with an
ordinary Marseilles spread is Of tam
bour curtain muslin, costing but rs
cents per yard (though more expen-
sive qualities may be purchased II de-
sired). 1t is quite heavy, and the en-
broidered effect is good. 1t also has
the advantage of being finished top
and bottom, requiring only the work
of hemming the corners instead OF
making the whole thing, unless 1t Is
too deep, when the top may be turned
over, or some tucks put In to shorten
It and really add to the effect A sim
gle sham two yards wide of the same
material is stretched across the pill
lows, the whole giving fresh, clean,
and pretty appearance for very littlo
work or money. Twelve yards of the
tambour is sufficient for both sham
and valance, at cost Of SO for the en-
tire outfit, the sheet being generally
obtainable from the spare stock OF
partly worn household bedding, or cas-
lily secured for, at most, fifty cents;

1t makes me shudder to see woman
bite thread or silk with her teeth, and
nine women out of ten take that way
Of shipping off ends when they sew.
The dentists have come to recognize
teeth which have been put to such use,
and have christened them thread
teeth" The biting of thread is one OF
the worst abuses to which tooth can
be subjected. Just why the habit is
formed would be hard to say, because
every work basket worth the name
contains a pair Of scissors, and only
the merest fraction of time is lost in
using them. What would matter the
loss of whole minutes when the well
fare Of things which can never be re-
placed is considered? The persistent
biting is literally saving the enamel
of the teeth, and nothing can take its
place; yet l venture to say that every
one Of the thread biting women would
stoutly maintain that she takes the
best Of care Of her teeth, and cannot
understand why she is forced to pay
such frequent visits to the dentist. He
will not tell her what is the matter,
because he has undoubtedly grown
weary of giving good advice which no
body follows. He will repair the dam
age as far as his skill goes, and pocket
his fees like a sensible man. Never,
never expect in this world to get one
atom of sympathy for the results OF
your own foolishness. for it will not be
forthcoming.

Speaking of the campaign of 1896
Senator Hanna said:
81 made my headquarters at Chicago,
and there watched every move made
by cur opponents just as we would
watch a game of chess. We carried the
fight into every state and kept our OPP
ponents busy at their homes, so that
they could not come outside and fight
US. OF course, we spent large amount
of money. We had to. When the cam
paign first opened we had no speakers
who could discuss the issue without
being confronted with what they had
said previously in discussing the cur
rency question. You see, we had to
swing around, for when Major McKin-
lev YVES nominated it was thought that
Whitney and his friends would beat
the free silver ren in the democratic
convention and make the fight on the
tariff"
In the above statement the prince OF
political scoundrels parades his own
infamy. He fully confesses that all the
charges were true that were made
against him. But even his black record
shines like star when compared with
that of those speakers "who could not
discuss the issue without being con-
fronted with what they had said pre-
yiously in discussing the currency
question"
