Please allow me 10 quote from Harr
wagner's geography. He says:
The story Of this life tthe life on the
EARTH is more charming than the dolngs
of fairy prince"
Although Mr.. Wagner has made many
ridiculous plumbers In the preparation OF
his geography, i fully agree with him
In his statement that the (true) story OF
life on the earth IL more charming than
the 6oings of fairy prince.

election of Bryan on an anti-expansion

enter this country and cannot be excluded

Good Times and High prices.

Feebly and in a perfunctory sort of way,
a number of the Democratic papers spas
medically advance the wall that prices
have risen faster than wages; and that
consequently the workingmen of the coun-
try are no better on today than they were
before the commencement OF good times
The Times cites the salaries OF firemen IN
this city as an instance where the cost Of
living mas advanced while wages have re-
manned stationary.
4 II may be admitted freely that
there is one class OF men to whom the
return of good times Is not an unmixed
blessing. and the continuance OF bad times
not an unmixed evil. Every man In re-
ceipt Of a government salary could look
on hard times with equanimity. When all
other purchasers were out Of the market.
he could buy anything he wanted more
cheaply than when the market was
thronged with buyers. Bargains of every
description were abundant under the last
Democratic administration. and the SAL
aried government empioye was one OF the
very few people who could take advantage
OF that fact. II he had a margin OF saw
ings put away. there were opportunities
afforded him by which he could acquire
comfortable home at a cost about equal
to that originally paid for the plumbing.
He could pick up occasional bargains In
furniture, going under forced sale. for
about the original cost Of the lumber which
went into It. He could also buy his lux
uries at very low rate, for there were
few purchasers Of luxuriss in the market
On the other hand. the holder of a fixed
government salary is undoubtedly the
loser when good times come along. He
has to pay more. for his rent. His fuel
comes higher. for men win neither cut
cordwood nor work underground for wages
which they were compelled to accept
when hundreds were out of employment
and eagerly waiting the chance to take
up their jobs II they quit work or struck
for better pay. His -four. meat and the
like cost him more. because the farmer is
receiving better pay for what he produces.
owing to the enlarged demand which has
come with the abundance of work and
the wider distribution of wages.
But what percentage OF the community
do the men who receive government sal
aries constitute7 They form the
exception to the rule that good
times are good for all and hard
times are hard for all. Is II to be under
stood that the Democratic party favors a
return TO the era OF hard times and low
prices In order that the very few who
are drawing salaries from the government
may be thus enabled TO purchase the nee
essaries OF iifs more cheapiy than they
can at PRESENT. This seems to be the
logic Of the present Democratic position.
All of this. Of course. does not initiate
against the argument that tho nremen Of
the city should receive better wages than
are paid 10 them at present.

headquarters from other parts OF the

ing to be much disappointed man when
he receives the news on the day after

No single reason that carries any weight
Is advanced by Mr. Drum to show how
the Republican majority of two years ago
is to be overcome and the state turned
over to Bryan The silver issue. upon
which he carried the state in 1896 has
practically been shelved. and nearly all OF
the silver Republicans who voted the
Democratic ticket In 1896 because OF this
issue. are now back in the Republican
party. Many Popuiists who supported

Populist party.
From the day OF election In 1895 there
has been q gradual but steady disintegra-
ton OF the Bryan forces in this state. This
was evidenced in the redemption OF the
state by the Republicans only two years
after Mr.. Bryan's defeat. The issue upon
which his great strength was developed
four years ago has been thrown aside and
the party leaders have been able to SUBJ
stitute nothing which appeals to the peo-
pie OF this section Of the country. They

of this part of the country.
For three years conditions have been
favorable to the increase of the Repub-

would arrest the assertions that have

 Lively Basket Ball Games.

The New England supper and entertan- ment given last evening by the ladies aux Hilary of the Y. M C. A. for the gymna- sium was one of the biggest successes of the season. Three hundred and fifty took supper and many afterward induIged in ice cream. The net proceeds were more than sIoo, and enough, it is thought to pay all gymnasium indebtedness.
 After the supper, basket ball games were played in the gymnasium, and greatly en- joyed, A team cap aimed by Fred Seng- fielder defeated one led by Harry Barr by a score of twelve to two. A ladies team, of which Miss Gibbons was Captain defeats ed one led by Miss CIavson. Each game was played in two ten minute halves. the men and the women playing alternately. It was the intention to have match game between the winning teams representing the two sexes, but the V omen having played last were too tired to enter another match, so the championship will be decid- ed later.
