Now that the doctors have had their
say about the evil effects of kissing
and have told dreadful tales of the
transfer of bodily diseases from lip to
lip, the dentists have taken the floor
with similar stories in regard to the
trouble that may be caused the teeth
by ipdiscriminate caresses of the os-
culatory order. According to Phil
adelphia authority, it seems that the
microbes which attack the mouth are
the easiest transferred by kissing. In
deed, the authority in question goes
farther. 81 don't care how fine your
teeth are naturally" he says, "if you
kiss very often person with bad ones
you will need my services within a
year. 1 have had cases where one Of
an engaged couple had the finest pos
sible teeth until she met her fance,
who had less healthy ones, and my
theory always proved right. Then
have seen the engagement broken and
the formerly good teeth restored per-
manently to perfect condition" All
this may be true. 1t sounds so and it
comes from a man who believes in
what he says But, although statis.
tics are impossible, one ventures to
say that the physicians scare did not
reduce kissing to any appreciable ex-
tent and that, therefore, it will, de-
spite the dentists, still go on in very
much the same old way.

THE WORKING MAN.

He lays his hand upon the stubborn soil,
And 10! mighty miracle is done;
1t glows. responsive to his touch of toll.
Fruitful and fair beneath the golden sun.
At his behest the prairie is transformers;
He digs the desert and it disappears;
Before his plow the wilderness is stormed
And leagues of corn lift up their splendid
spears.
Amid his sheaves he stands happy man,
Nor seeks to solve the things beyond his
ken;
Content with the All-wlse Eternal plan
OF Him who shapes the destinies of men.
The sky that bends above him shows no
stars
At noon; and yet he knows the Power
That shaped the Pleiades and fashioned
In their appointed time will bid them
shine.
His hearthstone is the altar, he the priest
Of homes sweet sanctuary, day by day.
In joy or sorrow, Indulgence or feast,
Where love unsullied keeps its gently
sway.
No narrowing envy occupies his breast,
No schemes of avarice distress his mind;
BY Heaven-sent peace his simple life is blest,
His labor brings the harvest to the plain,
And through his brave exertions millions
live;
He works the miracle that grows the grain
And all the crops that pregnant acres
To him the crowded city looks for food;
From him gaunt famine fees and squalor
hides;
lie ,s,ir
And where his blessings fall pale want
subsidies.
For him the sun and stars give forth their
light
For him the restless ocean ebbs and flows.
For him the radiant day, the peaceful night
And all things beautiful their charms dis
close.
He builds the mighty ship whose progress
spurns
The roaring tempest on the trackless sea:
His strenuous life the wheels OF commerce
And cleaves wider space for Liberty
Oh! woodworking TOLL Gods gift to
man,
What blessings follow where thou art
In strict accordance with the Masters plan.
And what disasters whore thou art denied.
God bless the honest toiler, everywhere.
In mill and mine, in factory and Geld.
His lifes the antidote for dumb despair,
His sturdy arm the Nations surest shield.
And may God keep the toiler free and brave,
From petty tyranny OF clique or clan
That seeks to dwarf his soul and to enslaye
The free-born spirit of the Working Man!
John E. Barrett, in the Scranton Truth.

Packing Butter in Glass.

A new use has been found for
glass. 1t consists in packing butter
in box made of six sheets of ordi-
nary window glass, the edges being
covered with gummed paper. The
closed box is then enveloped in layer
of plaster of paris fourth of an inch
thick, and it is covered with a spe-
cially prepared paper. As the plaster
is bad conductor of heat, the tenn
perature inside the hermetically sealed
receptacle remains constant, being
unaffected by external changes. The
cost of packing is only about 9 cents
per pound. 1t is used to great ex-
tent in Australia. Butter has been
sent from Melbourne to Kimberley.
in Africa, and the butter was found
to be in perfectly sound condition.
Cases are now made which hold as
much as 200 pounds of butter.

MORE PORTO RICO INFAMv.

Another of the hidden beauties of
the Porto Rican bill has come to light.
Whether it was hidden from everyone
or only the general public cannot be
said with certainty. What is certain
Is that it rebounds to the advantage
Of the trusts and corporations which
seek to exploit the island for their
own benefit. But then this Is only
what YVES to be expected. Legislative
discoveries always do rebound to the
advantage of the rich and strong.
Perhaps this is because they can pay
for their discovery.
This discovery is that the Porto
Rican bill. so far from reducing the
Dingley tariff rates, really increases
them in certain instances. The treas
ury department has decided that goods
sent from Europe to Porto Rico via
trans-shipped, must pay not only the
full Dingley rates but Is per cent ad
ditional. Goods sent direct from ELL
rope to Porto Rico pay only the Ding
ley rate. This decision is given boldly
without explanation OF argument. AL
though it comes from the treasury de-
partment, it reads as though written
by Attorney General Griggs whose
skill in evading the provisions of the
army canteen law won him the de-
served applause Of brewers and casu-
lists. Its effect will be to enable the
trusts to put the screws even more
firmly ON the Porto Ricans, and will
be disastrous to the shipping trade of
the United States to boot-Gainesville

All q Lie.

Secretary Long in his recent Bos-
ton address said: Labor was never
so we'll rewarded" Whereupon the
Omaha Nonconformist joins issue:
Labor was never so we'll rewarded,
wasn't 1t? In some cases wages have
been advanced 10 per cent, but in 9TH
ers there has been no advance. Coal
miners are still on the verge of starva-
ton and garment makers are on the
ragged edge of despair Strikes have
been numerous. laborers have been
confined in loathsome bull pens and
tortured into insanity and death. All
this time the cost of living has been
constantly increasing and an advance
of wages of 10 per cent has been met
with rs per cent increase in the
price of necessaries. The wages of
1894-5-6 would buy more needed com.
modities than the wages of 1900"

WHAT M'KINLEY HAS COST US.

When the Hon. Thomas G. Platt
went forth to the St. Louis convention
of 1896, breathing threatenings and
slaughter against Mckinley, he was
reported to have said Mckinley is
cheap man." However true the
statement was when made by the
astute Boss of New York, he and all
others in the world of politics are of
the opinion that Mckinley is not q
cheap man. He has cost us one hun
dred and eighty times his weight in
gold, and the shrewdest men of his
political party who are not stock
holders in trusts, would gladly spend
a vast sum of money for his undoing
at the Philadelphia convention.
But the Republicans who oppose
Mckinley are we'll nigh powerless in
the councils of their party. They must
sit still and see the trusts, govern
ment contractors and officeholders re-
nominate Wobbling Willy, the Whang-
doodle Weathercock, who has cost a
million dollars a day during his first
term, and who. if elected again, is sure
to cost us much more than daily sums
Of wicked extravaganza incurred by n
dotard whose f1atterers tell him that
he is greater man than Washington
whereas in truth, the fame Of the fool
who fixed the Dome of Ephesus rests
upon a more substantial foundation
than does that of the jackdaw strutting
in peacock's feathers in the council
name will go down into obscurity
tagged with the observation that he
was the costliest and most Improbable
investment ever charged against the
American people.-Newark IN. J)

There is quite evident conspiracy
on the part of the telescope and cam
era to belittle this intinitesimal speck
of cosmic dust ON which we live, and
they are succeeding. 1t was bad
enough to knock the earth out of his
position rs the centre of the universe,
but now he is being relegated to a
position that, astronomically, seems
worthy of very little attention. Pro-
fessor Wadsworth of the Allegheny
observatory is now showing, on a
curved plate, photograph of the con-
stellation Orion and adjacent region,
covering 1000 square degrees, or lit
tie patch measuring less than 33 de-
grees on side, or about one eleventh
of the great circle-and what do you
think? 1t shows 90, 900 blazing suns.
The professor says he has only been
able to catch the light from the larger
of the suns in that patch, and that
these planets are yet beyond the joint
power of the two cyclops, the tele-
scope and camera

ABOLISH THE TARIFF FOR
TRUSTS.

One plank of the Sioux Falls plat
form ought to be in all platforms, and
a part of the peoples creed, until it is
part of an act of Congress designed
TO destroy the trusts. This is it: I'VE
further demand that all tariffs, on
goods controlled By a trust, shall be
abolished" That the tariff, in many
instances, is a breeder of trusts and
the destroyer of competition is so'
obvious as to make argument or illus
tration unnecessary. To-day, in Eng
land, American steel is being sold at
cheaper rate per ton than in the
home market. Foreign competition Is
barred. The trust fixes the price.
Every farmer who builds fence and
every laborer who buys an implement,
pays tribute to the steel Cor steaD
combine, solely because the Repub-
lican party has fostered and promoted
the combination on the pretext of pro-
tecting the age-earner.
How much longer will the farmers
and laborers tolerate these policies OF
plunder?
Do they not want all customs tariffs,
on goods controlled by trust, abol-
ished?
If they do, is it not plain that the
Democratic party should receive their
support? Will they remember this on
election day?-Buffalo Times.

NOT MUCH RELIEF.

DEMOCRATS ALERT.
KEEPING BATTLES OF 1896 OUT
OF THE PARTY.
Even Those Who Did Not Openly Oppose
Bryan Shall Not BE Trusted-Are At
tempting to Run the Regular Organ
ization.

We warn the people to look with
suspicion upon any movement on the
part Of those who supported the ticket
in 1896 for mere regularity sake, to
now set aside the heroes Of that con-
test and secure seats in the conven-
tions for themselves. In every neigh
borhood are to be found some, and in
some neighborhoods many, who made
no open opposition to the Democratic
ticket in 1896, but who secretly cast
their votes for Mckinley. Many of
these are now seeking to be sent as
ton for the purpose of undoing what
was done in 1896, with the determine
ton to again secretly work for the de-
feat of the ticket in case they fail to
control the nomination in the inter
ests of their employers, the money
kings, trusts and monopolies.
One of the ear marks by which
these suspects may be known is their
hostility to sending instructed dele
gates. They will work and vote
against sending an instructed delega-
ton, whether they themselves are to
be delegates or not, because a refusal
to instruct delegates Is capable of be-
ing construed to confer upon such
delegates a discretion in the matter
of nominations, and to thus leave the
gate open through which the agents
OF the trusts may conduct trade and
dicker with the delegates.-National

Natural and Corporate Nan,


By killing trusts you are not inter-
fering with the natural rights of the
natural man. You are interfering with
the privileges conferred upon a ficti-
tious person called corporation.
Look at the difference between the
natural man and the corporate man.
When God made the natural man
He did not make the tallest man much
taller than the shortest; He did not
make the strongest man much stron-
ger than the weaker.
But when man made the corporate
man he made that man a hundred,
thousand. million times stronger
than the natural.
But when God made the natural man
He placed limit to his existence, so
that If he is bad man he cannot be
bad long. But when man made the
corporate man he raised the limit on
age and sometimes the corporation Is
made perpetual.
But when God made the natural
man He breathed into him a soul, and
warned him that in the next world he
would be held accountable for deeds
done in the flesh; but when man made
the corporate man he did not give to
that corporate man a soul, so that If
tho corporation could avoid punish
mont here it needn't worry about the
hereafter, and then the man-made cor
poration was sent out to compete with
the Godmade man. The Republican
party has taken the side of the man
made giant-W. ]. Bryan.

The Climate OF Mania.

Manila's climate is almost identical
with that OF San Juan de Puerto Rico,
and is comparable with that of the Gulf
States during the warmer portion OF the
year. 1t seems less trying to most peo-
pie, however, than July and August ev-
en- in Washington and Baltimore be-
cause the climate is equally one. Hav-
can, and habitually do, dress in the light
est OF anderclothing, wearing over it
only thin, unlined duck coat and trous-
ers, and inasmuch as the variations Of
temperature are small, people presently
become accustomed to the warmth.

PEPPERED THE BANDIT.
An Amusing Western Experience.

cts queer what different IDEAS
men have as to how they'll act in case
they ever get involved in train or
stage 'stick-up, or hold-up, as you
call it back this way. Myself, I've
been stuck.up at the point of one or
more guns on three different occasions
and on each occasion I've pointed nv
two mitts heavenward without any
fuss of feathers whatsoever, and de-
hvered the goods with nary a whim-
per. But l never figured on doing
anything else. Before ever got held
up at all always said to myself that
when the time arrived for some follow
to poke gun into my face and re-
quest me to elevate my arms, I'd do
what he asked me to do without anv
question at all, and let him have all he
could find on me without any side
stepping or murmuring. l considered
that that was the only sensible thing
to do, and consider so vet. So,
while its cost me heap more than
really could afford to fork over nv
little valuables on the three occasions
the boys of the road have nailed me,

and told myself that, while 1 mayn't
have been very heroic or dare devilish,
l did the wise thing in getting away
with q complete and unpunctured
hide.
"But I've often met chaps who
were simply going to cut dog in two
in case anybody ever tried to stick
them up at the end of gun. They
were going to decline to be held up,
and teach the bandit OF bandits a
lesson. It's remarkable the bravery
some of these fellows were going to
exhibit whenever any bold, bad prop
osition with a mask tried to coerce
them into handing over the stuff they
had on them. In nine cases out of ten
these large and ample takers are the
very first to cast up their paws when
the command rings through the car or

take them down when the robber has
fired his little parting volley and taken

There were about % or 80 men in the

chaps. A dyspeptic-looking little man,
about 40 years old, with Bostonese
dialect, sat In the seat ahead of me,
and an hour or so after l boarded the
train he engaged me in conversation.

TRUSTS AND MlDDLEMEN

Defenders of trusts say that their
chief advantage is the elimination of

profits are now being eliminated, but
not for the benefit of the consumer.
Jobbers used to make money out Of

bers now, but consumers pay more

profits, with a large addition from the
public, go into the pockets of the
