Dietrich are righteous and strong.

good governor stops all legislative lar

PUTRID
PROPHECIES.

prophet among the people of the United
States. His most positive predictions
were relative to finance. He proclaimed
to his followers that the gold standard
had slaughtered millions of human
beings and that an army to lay waste
the country, to destroy homes by torch
and flame, and to decree desolation
everywhere was a mild affair compared
to the establishment Of the gold standard
for this republic. But the journeyman
prophet was not credible or credited by
a majority of his countrymen and so he
disappeared from the oracle business
though he continued oratory-until 1900
when he broke out again as fOrecaster
of finance, and from Kansas City to New
York, and intermittently, in nearly
every state, deplored the fact that there
was not enough gold in the whole world to
do the business of the United States alone
and that the eabove-named precious metal
would soon become unreachable to "the
common people," in fact scarcer than
sound logic in populistic speech or
common sense in the political action of
a Bryanarchist.

of the United States, however, there was

LabOrers are

HOW PAID?

factories, cereal mills, packing houses
and other western industries out of the
prices of the commodities which those
plants put on the market. Now, the
prices of pork, starch, corn grits and oat
meal depend entirely upon the relation
of the supply of those goods to the de-
mand for those goods. No law, no edict
or decree can repeal or mitigate the in
exorable economic law Of Demand and
Supply which fixes the prices of these
and all other saleable things. Then, by
what equity or right should the attempt
be made to legislate fixed wages for the
workmen and the workwomen who are
engaged in bringing exchangeable COM
modities upon the market when those
wages are to be paid out Of prices which
rise or decline as the relation of Supply
to Demand changes? And are not wages,
legitimately, logically and justly, gov
erned by the same law of Demand and
Supply? If there were three times as
many women and men seeking to earn
wages in the United States as there are
now, and the demand for labor was no
more than it is today would there not be
a terrible decline in wages? Wages are
the compensation of labor, and profits
are the rewards for capital which labor
leaves. Labor gets its wages after
railroad is in the hands of receiver but
the capital that built it gets no profits.

AFAMILY MURDERED.



Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 20.-The
dead bodies OF A. r. Wilcox, wife and
two-year-old son were found in their
home at Downey, IL miles from this
city, yesterday. All the bodies were
horribly mutilated and the bloody
condition Of the premises indicated
that the murderer or murderers had
met with q fierce resistance. Wilcox
and his family had been shot and then
literally cut TO pieces with knife.
The crime was discovered when q
neighbor called at the house and
found the place evidently abandoned.
On forcing the door he found the
dead bodies Of the murdered family
stretched out on the floor. The won.
an had been shot while carrying
plate from the stove to the table.
The baby lay in the middle OF the
room, while the disemboweled body
OF the father was stretched near the
door. 1t IL supposed that the crime
was committed two or three days
ago. No clew to the perpetrators has
yet been found.

HAZARDOUS TO RUN BOATS.

Washington, July 3O.-The annual report of the Missouri river coInmis- sion was received at the war depart ment to-day. The commission com plains of the inadequacy of applica- tions for accomplishing useIuI results on the Missouri river or for making progress toward an ultimate improve ment. The fact that there is little commerce on the river the commission attributes entirely to the condition of the river. which is such ..-at it is haz- ardous to run boats and impossible to obtain insurance at reasonable rates. No commerce of consequence can be expected until the river is put in navi- gable condition and opened to the mouth.'

POLITICS

Just at present are blowing through the air in a sort of cyclOnic rage, and they will continue to do so for good long two months. Some of our good citiens who are at loggerheads at the present time will become the best of friends in a week or two; of course, that's good news, and some voters who are at present on very friendly terms will be bitter enemies shortly, and pos sibly remain so for all time. That should not be so. We will soon hear of clambakes being held here and there and everywhere .just for socia- bility's sake,'' but you bet your boots politics will be served out on side dish every time. Of course, there's nothing wrong about such gatherings; in fact, we like to see them, but we would much prefer to see good, rich, fresh roasted. nicely made coffee drank instead of the beverage generally used on such occasions, because it will not muddIe the brain, but on the con- trary would enlighten that organ to a very great extent. Therefore. we ap- peal to all politicians. particularly the ward heelers, to begin now and drink nothing but our Tea and Coffee and see how much more easily you can convince the other fellows that they should be on the same side of the fence upon which you stand boldly and fearlessly- Try it for month or two and judge for yourself Remem- Der. when you are eating bread, our Butter will make it taste considerably more palatable.
