made a surprise visit n little boy hap

stepped up to the inspector at once.
"Sit there for the present" said the

One of Moody's Jokes.

d. L Moody was always full of fun.
he saw the comic side of things, and
as a boy enjoyed putting practical
jokes upon any one whom he well
knew. In the rear OF his Uncle Sam
uels retail shoe store in Boston was
a cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools. avis.
etc. and the seat was, as usual. piece
of leather concavely shaped downward
at its center.
One day the workman on this saucer
shaped seat felt 1t becoming uEcom-
fortably damp. then really moist He
rose and saw q damp spot on the seat

What the Republican Party Offers.
The most remarkable thing in connec-
ton with the trusts is the unblushinS
statement by the Mckinley Republic-
ans and its acceptance 10y SO many
that the only way to handle the trusts
Is through an amendment to the con-
stitution OF the United States.
This is remarkable in several thingss
First.-It is admission that private
monopoly in industry has come to stay.
in so far as the individuals are conf
cerned who make this admission. For
[a) 1t is certain that an amendment
such as is asked for would not ba
granted. and Co If granted it would not
result in Il restoration of competitive
prices nor in n public regulation of
trust prices.
One reason why the amendments
would not be granted Is that 1t takes
from the state legislatures and city
councils the right to control monopoly
and lodges it in congress, the president
and the federal supreme court. bodies
that are the furthest removed from the
peoples will.
SecOnd.-But the most remarkable
of NIL IN the braEennesH of the claim
that an amendment is needed, for lie
is known to every Intelligent man
and woman
(R) That there are determinations
in freight rates on the railways, and
Obj that this advantage tends to
centrRIize (mOnopOIize) each bust
ness that uses the transpOrtation
lines, except those which ship their
goods through the postofiice-the only
avenue where there are equal rights.
Practically all the national organiza-
tions of industry have passed resolu-
lions demanding that congress restore
power to the Interstate commerce COM
mission and that its power be extend
ed in order that freight Determinations
Shall cease.
In this way the remedy has been
pointed out and is known to n great
mass of our most active and intelligent
business men and farmers. VIII they

THAT FULL
DINNER PAIL.
What Abraham. Lincoln Said
Relative to the Subject.

Mr.. Hanna has repeatedly declared
that the full dinner pail argument is
sufficient to lead the working masses
TO vote for the reelection of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. He holds that so long as the
dinner pail is full the workingman has
no interest in inQuiring into the meth
DDS by which Mr.. Rockefeller and 9TH
dollars in profits every year.
To this sort of argument, which is
much older than Mr.. Hanna or NJ.
Rockefeller, Abraham Lincoln replied
in n speech as pregnant with homely
truth as an lEsOp fable. This speech
was delivered Sept. Il. 1859, ut Gin
cinnati:
Il hold, If the Almighty had ever
made a set of men that should do all
the eating and none Of the work, he
would have made them with mouths
only and no hands, and If he had ever
made another class that he intended
should do all the work and none of the
eating, he would have made them
without mouths and with all hands.
But. inaSmuch as he has chosen to
make men in the way he has, II any
thing is proved it is that those hands
and mouths are to be cooperative
through life and not to be interfered
with. Tint they are to go forth and
Improve their condition is the in
herent rIGht given to mankind di-
recIly by the Maker"

You love liberty and hate despotism;
you oppose monopoly; you want gov

that the Republican leaders Of today
are the agents of the trusts and that,
in obedience TO the commands OF the
mOnOpolies, they are betrayfns the

Single Tax in Delaware.

In spite of its desperate endeavors
to save the Legislature by sacrificing
the national ticket the Democratic
machine was completely routed, and
the single tax vote contributed
largely to its undOing. The votes
of Single Takers and Bryan Demo-
Gratis against un-Democratic NOM
inees overbalanced the regular Re-
publican votes for the Democratic
Legislators, and nearly matched as
well the detection of the conserva-
tive Democrats from Bryan. SO
that despite the large amount of
cutting the national and state tickets
ran fairly even.
In the next Legislature there will
be at least 20 members pledged to
support the separate assessment"
and "home rule in taxation" bills
which Single Takers will introduce;
eight are known to be favorable;
four will probably support them;
the position of ii is unknown while
but six members are avowed Op-
ponents of anything that Single
Takers may want. This is a CON-
plete reversal from the last legis-
lature, which was intent on "killing
anything that looked like Single
Tax. ."-Johnstomn Democrat.

There is grim significance in
the news item from Manila that
"the military courts are now re-
turning numerous death sentences
upon natives" Though the item is
so wOrded as to make an impression
that these sentences are imposed
for crimes, the fact that carson"
and murder" are specified, is sus-
picious. What in time of peace is
arson may in time of war be an
act Of military necessity, while
murder in peace may be justifable
homicide in war; and when our mill
tary tribunals in the Philippines
impose numerous sentences Of
death for arson and murder, one
must not be blamed for suspecting
that these proceedings are possibly
covers for furnishing prisoners Of
war for acts of war.

From South Africa the news that
escapes the British censor is exceed
ingly disquieting in London. 1t is
now feared that Kitchener will have
to reconquer the Orange Free State
before he can begin the Weyleriza-
ton of the Transvaal. Botha and
DeWet appear to have joined forces
near Bloemfontein; and the British
under French have been pursued
from Middleburg, which is on the
Lorenzo Marques railroad a few
miles east of Pretoria in the Trans
vaal, down as far as StandertOn,
which is on the Ladysmith road
near the Orange Free State border.
Kitchner's plan of operations is
described by the Pietermaritzburg
correspondent Of the London Daily
Mail, who says that the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State are to
be divided into circumscribed areas,
with a mobile British force ap-
portioned to each area, and that all
Beers and neutrals are to be taken
to the coast and kept there until the
country is cleared. These plans are
now being carried out, and to facili-
tate Kitchener's operations, he has
been recommended to the queen by
the British ministry for appoint
ment as lieutenant general, an ap-
pointment which will give him
supreme command in South Africa
as soon as Gen. Roberts leaves the
country.
