Stubborn Transfers.
Lewiston Journal: 1 was right behind
load of pressed hay the other day on
one of the Maine country roads. Was
in a cutter, and was in a hurry to get
to some place and back with apiece ~
news. s0sus to catch the train. But of
all the bedIzzle, bedazzle drivers that
ever teamed pair with a load, that
driver was the most aggravatlng. He
wouldn't turn Gus.
He paid no attention to whoopIngs Of
expostuiatEou except to turn around on
the load and gaze at me medltatlvely.
According to his own notion, pressed
hay had the right OF way that day.
Finally he yelled back: "Ain't no use
for We to boiler, They amt bruk out
this rod very well. and amt goln' to
resk THROWN pair OF hosses." And he
hunched up his back and proceeded on
his slow and careful way. throwing CO.

to one side on the white snow and then
to the other.
Finally In the distance appeared an
other double team. The big sled was
loaded with bags OF meal bound up
country to thu general store. 1 wonder
ed what would happen.
Both drew near. When the noses OF
the horses nearly touched both pulled
Up. Neither made move to turn out.
"Huno, Tote" said the driver of the
other team jovlall&

"wal, ye amt turned out very much

"Don't see no signs of your turnin'

The joylal man laughed a little and
craned his neck around to get glimpse
of the champlng livery steed that was
trying to control
"Ain't 10 hurry, be yc?" he asked
with u grin.
] of course told him that wouldn't
go past on any consideration, us I was
out simply for mir. Then he crossed his
legs, settled himself comfortably on a
bag OF meal, and said TO the other driver
who sat looking at him sullcnly;

"oh, I drlv' worse ones" said the
driver, conservntively.
"old man that keeps the store was

swiftly 1t Is getting to be that in the
nation. The representatives, legislative
and executive, represent, not the peo-
Pile, but, so far as effective action is
concerned, they represent power more
masterful than votes, dominant oyer
and not subject to the people.
"Parlimentary institutions" are but
stalking horse to cunning schemers.
"Organized capital'-no matter who
says it, providing it be true-is not only
trying to control" as the Yale profess
sor states, but has often succeeded in
controlling, as is widely known, "legis-
latures for corporate profit and indus
trial exploitation" This is one OF those
things that so thoroughly ought to be
said that he verify is guilty who keeps
his tongue from saying it.

The wanamaker Episo de.

The threat by a high official Of Phila-
delphia, to disgrace John Wanamaker
unless the attacks OF his sons paper, the
North american, upon the corrupt ele-
ments of the city were silenced has
brought forth columns OF protest and
indignation from the press and even the
pulpit of the nation. Mr.. Wanamaker's
stand is so novel and unexpected for
Phladelphian to take that it causes
more wonder than appears on the
surface.
The custom for many years past in
that city, on the part Of press and pri-
vate citizen, has been to obey without
question every demand upon honor,
conscience and duty made by the thieves
and pirates who masquerade as politi-
clans, consequently the unexpected
refusal of the eX-postmaster general to
submit to orders has shocked those on
the inside of the rottenness of Philadel-
phia politics as much as the statement
Of facts shocked those who believed that
a goody-good Republican city like our
sp"uo hooiOpuils hoO piouuSo
public officials who would degrade their
office and manhood to the level of the
blackmaler.
1t is safe to say that nowhere has the
calling of the bluff of the leeches been
more joyfully received than in the offices
of the Philadelphia newspapers, for
they have suffered at the hands OF poll
clans with pulls to an extent their
readers never dreamed of, and, II the
streak of eXultation they evince over
the Wanamaker episode should result
in stiffening their backbone and making
them also proof against the influence
of the thugs who run the city, the
reader will in future find many an
interesting tale of corruption and dis
honesty in the columns of his favorite
Philadelphia paper.

paragraph among the editorial
notes of the Congregationalist, Of Boston,
in its issue of last week, though very
brief, must be esteemed significant.
1t calls attention, without distinct dis
approval, to sentiment which no one,
even very short time ago, could have
expected as at all likely to appear in its
columns sentiment which, both in
expression or form and in purport, has
apparently seemed to not few excel
lent people as at least dangerous; that
is, incendiary or revolutionary. 1t
quotes thus:
The real issue that men OF the future
have got to meet is the struggle between
plutocracy and democracy.
or course 1t is important to know who
says this. That seems always a first
consideration with certain ones-not so
much the truth of what is said, and its
force on that ground, but the authority
with which it comes. The statement is
commented upon by the COngregationali,,
as follows:
These are not the words OF w. ].
Bryan or John p. Altgeld or Eugene
Debs or any other supposed dangerous
character from the inflammable and
coyetous West, although much like
their utterances in tenor. They were
spoken to the New England Free Trade
League last week by Professor William
e. Sumner, professor Of political and
social science in Yale university since
1872. He supplemented the remark
with the other statement that in every
land with parliamentary institutions or
ganized capital was trying to control
legislatures for corporate profit and in
dustrial exploitation.
The singularly ungracious reference
to the West-not to characterize it as IL
more fully deseryes-only renders more
signal the significance OF this editorial
note. Its simply being forced upon the
attention of the people Of this country
what the West has long known and
been ready, exposed to much obloquy
to speak of plainly, though assumed
leaders of the people and editors of the
East have tried their utmost to keep II
out OF sight-what a contest is going or
in our land. What Professor Sumner
OF Yale, says is true, but is not particle
more acceptable on that account thar
as said for years by men who have been
persistently and Indignantly discreditec
just for saying that.

Some Facts About Cement.

We are in receipt Of letter from Mr..
MAJOR, the famous cement man, of New
York, in which he sets forth some very
interesting facts about Majors cement.
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that 1t is many hundred
per cent better than other cements, for
which similar claims are made, but a
great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses
the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them,
because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. MIR. Major tells
us that one OF the elements of his
cement costs S3.75 pound, and another
costs $9.65 gallon, while a large share
OF the so-called cements and LIQUID glue
upon the market are nothing more than
sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or
citric acid, and, in some cases, altered
slightly In color and odor by the addi-
tion OF cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents a bottle, and
when dealer tries to sell a substitute
you can depend upon it that his only
object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement And this is doubly true
in view of the fact that each dealer gets
his share OF the benefit of Mr.. Majors
advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 900 month throughout the country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't ac-
cept any off-hand advice from a drug
gist.
