THE BALLOT AND THE WORKERS.
II is the LabOling Man Who Decides the
Elections in This Country.

"After ALL" said President NJ. E.
ingalls,, of the Big Four Railroad Com
pany, in recent interview, sit is the
laboring man who decides the elections
in this country"
President Ingalls, is right. The
workingmen do decide elections in this
country and they will decide the cleo
ton to occur next November. And in
deciding how they will decide the cleo
tion the workingmen will not fail to
consider the following facts:
In 1894, when the Wilson low tariff
law was in operation, the number of
employees in certain establishments was
at its lowest 80, 4S3. In 1897, after
President Mckinley has been inaug-
urated, the Protective tariff had been
restored, and it was certain that for four
years at least there could be no debase
ment of the currency, the number of
employees in those same 200 establish
ments was 100, 600. In 1898 the number
of employees in the same establishments
was 131, ,42S. In 1899 1t had increased
to 174,64 The total increase was
S4, 1862. In 1894 the total amount of
wages paid in those 200 establishments
was $40, SO3, $685. In 1897 it was $54, =
412, ,774. In 1898 it was $62, PAT, $40 In
1899 it was SIS, 1886, O69. The total in
crease up to the fourth year of Presi-
dent McKinley's Administration was
$3S. OBJ ,2O3.
President GOmpers, Of the American
Federation of Labor, and his situation
in mind when he said: "The revival of
industry which we have witnessed
within the past year is one for general
congratulation, and it should be our
purpose to endeavor to prolong this
era of more general employment and
industrial activity?" Is it reasonable
to suppose that the workingmen will fail
to vote so as to prolong the period Ot
employment and industrial activity?
President Ingalls, answered the ques
tion by adding, in his interview
Business as a whole is good ard the
workingman isn't going to make ex
perminents, no matter how he may fee
toward Bryan"

W. A. Eddy, the famous kite flier
has demonstrated by sending up Ley
den jars with kites that the atmos-
phere is always charged with electrici-
ty. One may draw sparks when there
is not cloud in sight.
Upon the approach of a thunder
storm, however the atmospheric elec.
tricity becomes intensified, so that it is
possible to judge from the length of
the spark how far away the storm CEN

THE ISOLATION CURE.
Recommended To Those Women Who Lead
Strenuous Lives.

The isolation cure is a thing recently
commended by physicians to those
women who lead strenuous lives, and
the esculapains must believe in its eff
ficacy since it advantages them not all
to prescribe it, those who take it
neither buying medicine nor receiving
calls from the medical man at So per
call. The isolation cure, as its name
suggests, consists in getting away from
home cares and ones cares; in finding
lodge in some vast wilderness where
there will be no next door neighbor to
run in and recount the trials of Mrs.
Blank, whose husband beats her; III
being content to let the heathen, and
the women who don't believe in suf-
frage, and the other impossIbles who
take no interest in the various sciences,
alone for time and in taking care of
ones health and ones's happiness. 1t
will no doubt sound very uncharitable
to say that the isolation cure is some
times of as much benefit to the families
of the busy ones as it is to the busy
ones themselves, and yet that's the
sacred truth. Full many little band
of daughters and sons have breathed
heartfelt sighs of relief when the
mother whose mission in life is to set
a wretched world straight, is safely
packed off to farm house where she'll
have nothing more Onerous to engage
her attention than the misdeeds of a
flock of foolish hens-if hens go in
fiocks-which insist upon scratching
up the sweet peas in the garden. One
may try the isolation cure in ones own
city house if she will only deny her
self to callers, let the affairs of the
earth go to the "demnition bow
vows" and make up her mind that the
most important thing in life at this
season is health and tranquility OF
mind. More than one woman has sue
cumbed to her desire to be of use in
the world, not anticipating that her
very aagerness will shorten her period
of usefulness materially.

Governor Smith controlled the First

A ron-partisan movement for the
suppression of bribery in Maryland,
says an exchange is being discussed,
which, if honestly carried out, will go
a great way toward eliminating one of
the greatest evils which afflict this
State. Such movement has been spok-
en- of before, but has always failed for
want of confidence, each party dis
trusting the sincerity and good faith
of the other. If any plan can be for
naulated by which the agreement be-
tween the two parties can be made
binding, the idea may be carried out
otherwise the time spent in discussing
the plan is wasted.

WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING.

An English Journal requested a mum
Der Of Its largest advertises to give their
opinions concerning the best time to stop
advertising, and the following replies
were received:
When the population ceases to multiply
and the generations that crowd on after
you and never heard of you stop coming
on.
When you have convinced everybody
whose life will touch yours that you have
better good and lower prices than they
can get anywhere else.
When you perceive II to be the rule tina
men who never advertise are ontstrip-
ping their neighbors In the same line OF
business
When men stop making fortunes right
in your sight solely through the direct
use OF the mighty agent
; When you canforget the words OF the
shrewdest and most successful men con-
corning the main cause Of their prosper
ity.
When younger and fresher houses In
your inc cease starting up and using the
trade journals In telling the people how
much butter they can do for them than
you can.
When you would rathey have your own
way and fall than take advice and win.
