CHINESE CLOTHING.
By No Means OF the Common BIue
Cloth They Look to BE.

SiotH Auey LOOK To be-
To wear your grandfather's coat
would not seem much of an honor, but
to John Chinaman it is the greatest
felicity. Not only is the common
looking, shapeless blue blouse Of his
ancestor priced because it is his an
cestors, but because of its intrinsic
value. The clothing usually worn by
the Chinese is of the purest silk, and
costs anywhere from 500 TO $250 a
suit. AS nation the Chinese object
to wearing clothing of any other kind,
and centuries of experiment have
taught them how best to make UP the
costly caterpillar thread into the most
durable form. On this recount the
Chinese dress, though of purer mate
rial, has none of the sheen usually
associated with silk, a popularity
Which has resulted in the erroneous
ideas as to their composition. All the
garments are made in China, and are
only exported for the personal use of
Celestials in foreign countries. Owing
to their cost, however, they are only
purchased at long intervals, each gar
ment being of SO durable character
that they are handed down to the third
and even the fourth generation. Wear
appears to rather improve them than
otherwise, with the result that the coat
of the father or grandfather often has
more intrinsic value than the newer
and less worn articles. Another ar
ticle peculiar to the Chinese is the felt
slippers they invariably wear These
are Of peculiar shape. and are also
imported from the native country,
where the method of treating felt until
it almost rivals leather for wear IL
kept close secret.

A City Owned by WOrkingmen.

In Tell City, Ferry county Indiana, such is
the case. The workingmen of that city own,
control end operate the factories and fix the
price of labor. he toilers are formed into COM
panies and operate their factories singly There
is, however, no common purse for citizens.
Each man must make a living for his own fam
lily, but the matter of employment is so simpli-
fed that the difficulty of this is minimized.
The city was founded in 1883, by the Swiss
Colonization Society of Cincinnati. Each fac
tory in the city is owned by stock company
of citizens. They were started years ago by
small sums furnished by individuals. Year Iy
year, the business grew, and as soon as divi-
dend was declared, this money was added to
that already in the business. In this way, new
buildings were erected, and great sums Of
money were eventually invested in the indus
tries which have made Tell City fourishing
and famous as a manufacturing center of wood
a factory i'll Tell City is a working man. Each
company selects its own board OF managers and
superintendent, who are always stockholders.
Each laborer is paid at the end of the week,
according to the amount of work done, or at
stipulated sum per hour. The various indus
tries employ sos workmen, and represent near
ly $780, 900 of capital. There are no unen,-
ployed, and everybody is busy and contented,
and most OF the workmen own their own homes.

Whitecappers near Topeka gave Edward Pla-
to coat of tar and feathers and otherwise
maltreated him, last Friday night, because he
had married divorced woman. The woman's
former husband was one of the whitecappers.
The affair has created considerable excitement,
and several persons have been arrested.
Thirty years ago, the Kansas legislature
passed law allowing boysko marry at the age
of fifteen years, and girls at thirteen, without
the consent of the parents. Governor Stanley
did not know of the existence of the law;
neither did the attorney general. The attention
of Asst Atty Cen West was called to the law
by farmer, the other day, and West told
Stanley about it. The governor will recon-
mend that the ages be raised to eighteen for
boys and sixteen for girls.

That Treaty.

The United States senate has had world OF
trouble over the CLAY Pauncefote treaty..
Some of the Republican senators refused to rati-
fy. without amendment. There has been con-
siderable gnashing of teeth, and may be more
if the teeth hold out. Uncle Sam wants an
Isthmian canal. John Bull is willing, provid-
ed the canal is opened upon the basis of neu-
trality, either ia war or peace. Neutrality IN
time Of peace is al right; in time OF war it is
"hoss'' OF an entirely different breed.
1t would seem, to common man, that II
we scrape out a canal, we ought to have right
to do Just as we please, at all times and under
all circumstances. Secretary Hay, under Nc
Kinley, looked at it in different light. Hay
consulted Pauncefote, aud Pauncefote consulted
Victoria, Queen of England and Ireland and
Empress Of India. The Queen wants the canal
open to all corners, and at all times. Mckinley
and Hay were 'yea and amen" "Yea and
amen" to England is the attitude of Hay and
Mckinley in all things. A few Republican
senators were not in the proper attitude. The
treaty is amended, but the Queen has not had
her say, and the canal is not excavated.

noise than WOOL

MIR. HarrisOn'S Hardness.

From the Chicago Record
To the Editor: Referring to ex-President
Harrison's address at Ann Arbor, Mich, it IS
very surprising that such professed patriot as
he should place seal upon his lips on subject
of - n.r,c' .mport ance, only to be broken when
too late to benefit the nation.
What Mr.. Harrison said at Ann Arbor he
knew before the election, and had he uttered
the same wholesome truths then, the evil OF
which he complains might have been corrected.
The man who knowingly remains silent while
wrong is being perpetrated and who could
have aided in preventing the same, is guilty in
the ewes of ,he world However patriotic and
true his utterances on the night of Dec. IA,
they will fail 10 increase the respect that ex-
presidents should he entitled TO. All that Mr.
Harrison can say on this subject now will only
add to confirm the belief that he is more loyal
to his party than to his country. Courage to
advocate the truth under all circumstances is
commendabe but to withhold such advocacy
at time when the entire country might have
been benefited is wrong which can hardly be
paliated
All that Mr. Harrison said at Ann Arbor was
proclaimed by Mr.. BRYAN in nearly every speech,
and one word from ex-Presdent Harrison or
ex.?resident Cleveland i'll support of the truths
uttered by Br,an would have changed many
thousand votes, and the dangers which Mr..
Harrison row reCouns would have been avert
ed All praise to them who have the courage
to advocate the truth and denounce talsehooG
at the proper time, and at all times. The coun-
try will be glad TO note these admissions of Mr..
Harrison, all ough it may not increase the
confidence ard respect for the man who would
have followed such an expression made at the
proper time. J. u. BACON

The GrOut Bill.

The passage, through the house of repre-
sentatives, of the oleomargerine bill is fair
sample of congressional legislation. The in
tention of the bill is to tax butterine and oleo-
marperine out of existence. A few hundred
men, interested in creameries, are behind the
legislative shove. There is no pretense that
the bill is just measure, but there is ample
suspicion that there is Doodle.
1t has been shown, repeatedly, hat the imi-
tations of butter are both heathful and nutri
tions, and, owing to the low price, poor people
ON afford butterine who would not be able to
buy real butter. Also, more farmers are bene.
flied by the manufacture of imitation butter
than would be benefited by high priced butter
This statement becomes evideEt when 1t is
known that both hog and steer products enter
into the composition of imitation butter. A
member of the Kansas City Livestock Ex-
change testified before United States senate

THE overn:nent-ownership idea seems to
have taken hold of the present administration,
for which we are duly thankful, in relation to
the Nicaragua canal. The trans-continental
railroad interests of the country are organized
to fight the project to the bitter end. The SEN
timent among the people, however, is so strong
in favor of the building of the canal and the op-
Grafton by the government that it is likely o be
pushed through. While there are number of
features connected with the nterprise-notably
the Hay. .Pauncefote treatv-it would be much
better to have it built under the present ar
rangement than to put it off for another term
of years The building of it now will be just
that much less for the government of the Co.
operative Commonwealth to do. We can then
abrogate all existing treaties that interfere with
the operation of the commonwealth, and throw
the canal open to all mankind as gift from
the ruler of the universe-the people.-The

Cleveland.

Ex-President Cleveland hath arisen from his
fshermans tomb, and hath opened mouth and
ventilated his thoughts. There is much talk
thereat in political circles. Cleveland's Repub.
lican twin brother and the old Cleveland Office
holders are about the only people who seem to
be muchly rejoiced In substance, the whole
outfit condemn Bryanism.
Cleveland is likened, by one governor, to a
Georgia mule. Georgia has the most stubborn
mule in the world.
My first thought is that Cleveland did more
good for his country since he went fishing than
at any other time in his career
1t is an i'll omen when Cleveland speaks. He
wrecked the Democratic party, and would lay
the blame on the followers of BRYAN. That is
characteristic of the man. 1t was Cleveland's
heart that bled for farmers under Republican
tariff, and who failed to sign tariff bill passed
by Democrats. 1t was Cleveland who forced
the last vestige of silver legislation from the
statute books, thereby intensifying the panic
of 90, notwithstanding that the traditional
policy of the Democratic party favored the
double standard.
cleveland Was tW'te pltSIuSht, anu II hS az
compished any good during The eight years OF
his incumbency, there i 10 trace Of that good
20 he found anywhere, either in politics. morals
or religion
What became of Cleveland "strenuous econ.
omy in public expenditures" and ''tarif reduc-
tom? Did Cleveland curb the power of Wall
street, or check tine growing trusts? Was 1t
not Cleveland who stood for the authority of
the states, ard used the United States to crush
strike? 1t was Cleveland who issued bonds
in time of peace, assisting in perpetuating the
national banking system, contrary to the
pledges of the party that elected him. Ceve-
land d,ssipated the grand opportunity of
generation to do good, by standing for what he
was elected to oppose, thereby discrediting re-
form and disappointing and discouragng re-
formers. Had we not Cleveland, we might
have free silver and the eXtin9uishment of the
national debt, and imperialism. Only for
Cleveland, no standing army, from the back
ground would menace the liberty of the
American people.

SOCIALISM says that your children are enti-
tied to the best education the resources of this
country, backed by the accumulated wisdom of
the ages, is able to give them. They do not
get 1t now. Why? Simply because four.fifths
of the wealth produced by SO per cent of the
population is appropriated bv the other one per
cent, through system of legalized robbery
which we call "business. ''-Socialsm would
abolish every standing army, every battle-shlp

instantly abolish every stock exchange and
other gambling institution in the United States.
