The WORKINGMAN's PAIL.
Lahnrer Gets Under the Hrpub-
Iican Adm II is ration

The republican battle cry of "a full
dinner pail tells in few words the
effect winch republican policies have
had in making prosperous the great
industries Of the country, and, conse-
quentlN. IN improving the condition OF
worklngmen from a material stand
point. No worhingman needs to be
reminded that his dinner pail was not
full from 1892 to 1896, while "a demo-
cratic administration was in power.
Every workingman knows that now,
after nearly four years of republican
administration, there is plenty of work
at good wages for every man who
wants work. The republican slogan
is therefore simply statement OF
fact.
Democratic speakers and organs re-
ply that the American workingman
wants more than full dinner pail.
He wants his full and honest share of
the proceeds of his labor: ne wants
chance to educate his children we'll;
he wants to enjoy the luNuries as we'll
as the necessaries of life: he objects to
being classed as an animal to whom
plenty of food is the highest ideal.
This is a fair statement of the am
bition of every American workingman
who is worthy to bear the name. 1t
is Endorsed by the republican, party
the more sincerely because it has
made it possible for him to realize
them. Before any man can hope to
enjoy the Injuries of life he must
first secure the necessaries: before
he can give his children the benefit
of education he must first be able to
feed them; the first ambition of every
man is to support mis- family in com
fort; then he may begin to provide
for them the advantages which are

The Earth L. a Glutton.

Nothing is TOO big or too small to
escape the nav OF our hungry globe
Quicksands are the traps she spreads
for the smaller fry. Probably the
worst and most dangerous in the
world are the shots of the Sahara
These are perhaps the dregs of some
prehistoric sea. Now they are covered
over with a thick crust Of salt and
sand. Whole caravans have walked un-
consciously into these death traps and
been quickly swallowed up. Reclus,
the great French authority, declares
you can sound these quicksands to a
depth of 300 feet without finding bot.

sells. and indeed throughout Belgium,
grew hourly, until finally. after ten
days of anxiety. dismay and confusion,
the king sailed. into port without
vouchSating any other information
than that he had been delayed by
stress of weather, although the mete-
geological reports gave no indication
of any bad weather having been noted
in northern Europe.
This is by no means the first time
the king has disappeared in this fash
ion. On one memorable occasion he
completely vanished from sight for the
space of six weeks, and ministerial
crisis having unexpectedly arisen at
Brussels, he was sought far and wide,
the sittings Of parliament being sus-
pended from day to day, since there
was no possibility of proroguing the
legislature nor of receiving the resig-
nation of the defeated ministers nor
yet Of appointing their successors
without the kings presence. When
last heard of he had been yachting off
the Moorish coast, and, as Belgium had
no navy, English, German and French
warships were requested to cruise
along the Moorish coast with the OBJ
.ject of discovering if the royal yacht
hae perhaps been wrecked and Leo
polo captured by Moorish pirates. FL
nally. after all Europe was in state of
perturbation about the matter, the
king was by mere chance found enjoy
ing himself by means Of a driving tour
in questionable company in one of the
remote portions of Switzerland.
Nor can one forget that memorable
:birthGay of his three or four years
ago. when, all the troops of the Brus-
sells garrison having taken up their
position in review order and the Gigni-
taries of the court and Of every branch
OF the government service as we'll as
the foreign diplomatic corps had as
sembled at the royal palace to offer
their congratulations, no king could
be found. He was sought high and
low. but in vain, and only returned to
Brussels a couple of days later. Nor
was it until the arrival of the German
papers that the worthy Belgians
learned that their king had spent his

Nabbed Thieves and Booty,

About two weeks ago Matt Jost, ele-
vator agent at Mantador, had run
away and left his grip in his buggy
while he went to catch his horse.
When he returned his grip had been
opened and a package containing $500
was missing. Deputy Sheriff Barker
succeeded in locating the guilty par
ties at breckenridge, Mimi. They were
induced to come to Wahpeton, where
they confessed, $500 being returned.
1t is thought the balance will be paid,
as the boys parents are wcll-to-do
farmers in Wisconsin.

Poor Sport.

Chicken shooting in North Dakota
is unusually poor this year and many
explanations are offered for this con-
dition of affairs. Game Warden Bow
ers OF Fargo says the prairie chickens
were Matched about two weeks earlier
this year than usual and they punched
in larger tlocks This, together with
the scarce cover, has made them wary
and harder to get than in former
years A good many seem to have
been preyed upon by hawks and ami
mails. Duck shooting is going to be
poor this year also.

possible to the industrious and ener-
getic man who has settled the ques-
ton of food, lodging and clothing.
Take away the full dinner pail and
the workingman finds himself fully
employed i'll securing for his family
the bare necessaries of life.
Briefly the situation is this: The
republican party four years ago prom
lsed to put into force sucn policies as
would revive the stagnant industries
Of the country and give the working
man fair chance to better himself in
the world. Bryan, advocating only the
free coinage of silver, declared that
republican success would enslave the
workingman and make national pros
perity impossible. The republican
party was successful and it has kept
its promises. Bryan has been proved
a false prophet of evil.
Bryan stands to-day in the attitude
of man who has repudiated his own
most solemn pledges. In the speech
which nominated him for the presi-
dency in 1896 he declared in discussing
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
YER that when that reform had been
accomplished call other reforms will
be possible, and until that is done
there is no reform that can be accom-
plished." To-day he is advocating 9th
err isms and ologies. Either he is in
sincere and a mere demagogue or else
he must resurrect the bones of his
buried hobby and in so Going strike a
blow to he industries of the country
which will make the workingman
whose dinner pail is half full an object
of envy among his fellows.
The full dinner pail is the real issue
in spite of demagogic attempts to OBJ
scure it. If the republicans are sue
cessful there is every reason to believe
that the dinner pail will be full and
everything else desirable will at least
be possible. If Bryan should win. the
dinner pail will be empty. or else all
history and recent personal experience
will be given the lie. Let the work
ingman choose between his dinner pail
empty or full He will know under
which condition it will be possible to
realize greater ambitions. = Chicago
