to get letter from woman they

eral delivery department of the post
office. Criminals who can be found in
no other way are often arrested when
they call for mail at the general de-
livery window. Generally, the men
call for letters written by some wom-
an. Along close to the holidays last
year a Pinkerton detective came to the
office and waited for three days and
nights for man wanted in the East,
who was supposed to be in this city.
The detective knew that before the
murder he was accused of committing
the man had eorresponded with wom-
waiting three days, when he received
word to go to Columbus, Ohio. as there
was a letter at that Office for the man.
He went, and had not been there long
when the man made his appearance.
The detective arrested him at once

WE have not read, for many a day,

taken from Our Dumb Aninndts. Its
appearance in that non-partisan, non

it shows that the patriotic mind Is
earnestly at work upon the grave
questions forced upon the people by the
McHanna imperialistic Administrations:
We have read of an old gentleman
who, wanting a coachman, had all the
applicants received in one room, out
of which they came singly to another

principal question he asked each was

THE iron and steel trust companies,
whose earnings for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 ranged all the way from
65 to $50 per emit. on the paid-in cap
ital. have commenced reducing wages,
thus illustrating the workman's part
in this era of exceptional trust pros
perity, SO much lauded in the little
2x4s. The Iron Age in its first issue
for this month says: ''Half the year
has gone and the time has at last ar
rived when most of the contracts
placed by large consumers for pig iron
and finished products have expired.
Predictions are now being quite freely
made that Bessemer pig iron must go
down to $15 at Pittsburg and steel
billets to 500 or Whereabouts before the
turn takes place. These prices would
not. in fact, be far from the average
realized on the business done during
the past year. An Indication that
prices are getting down now to a point
which impeis caution among manufac-
~turers is seen in the reductions in
wages, which are now beginning to be
enforced at blast furnaces. Notices
have been posted in the Lehlgh valley
of a reduction of 10 per cen With a
good average crop trade promises to
start briskly by September l."

OUR friend of the Fredericktown
Republican is optimistic, as these two
items show:
Let's make it a cool million plural
ity vote for Mckinley this time. just
watch how G. 0. P. will expand this
year on an expansion issue.
1t is generally believed now among
the leading Republicans throughout
the 18th congressional district that
Hon. w. II. Lynch OF Mountain Grove,
Wright county, stands first in the list
available material to make the race
for congress against whoever the Dem
ocrats may nominate. Mr.. Lynch is a
thorough Republican, a scholarly man
and has a clear record. against whom
no fault can be found, and should he
be nominated there is no doubt that he
would be elected.
True it is, there is no more doubt
that Mckinley will have .'a cool mil
lion plurality" than that Mr.. Lynch OF
any other Republican will be elected
to Congress from this district thi:
year.

Upon the subject of monopolies and
the influence they will exert upon the
lives of the young men and women
and boys and girls of America Hor-
ner,s Bazaar uses the following vigor-
Gus language. How so much truth
antagonistic to the of the trusts
comes to appear in a Harper's publica-
ton is wondrous; nevertheless it does
SO appear, and it is correspondingly
refreshing in it's unexpectedness:
Take the Standard Oil Company, for
Instance. The profits of this concern
for the current year are estimated at
$92, 900, 900. Would not Mr.. Rookie
Teller smile if your son set out to estao-
lisb a business that would snatch the
power to fix prices out of Mr.. Rookie
feller's hands? Precisely there is
where trusts haye mothers by the
heartstrings. 1t is not 80 bad about
prices-we may struggle and meet
this-but trusts impose upon our sons
a future of serfdom. The individual
enterprise that is possible under a
reign of trusts is a resort to the eco
nomic conditions of the barbarian.
The alternative is serfdom-a clerk

as true as it is h~umiliating to manhood:
In considering how far we can be-
iieve newspaper statements, it's well to
remember hat newspapers, generally
speaking, are established and run for
the purpose of making money, and the
great question is not what may be the
real opinion OF their editors, but what
the stockholders may think will obtain
for them the largest circulation. and
bring to them through advertisements
