HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
SHIP.

There never was more inviting OPP
portunity for telling service to the
democratic party and the country than
will be presented in the minority lead
ersh1p of the next house. The presi-
Dental campaign will hinge largely
upon the records of the parties in con
gress, and particularly upon the work
of the lower branch.
1t is plainly to be seen that the pres
ent congress will do nothing. For all
the talk about Cuban reciprocity, anti
trust legislation and interstate com
merce commission amendment, the re-
publican majority is not sufficiently
united to pass a single measure of new
policy, and it is to be doubted whether
the leaders want to accomplish any
thing. Nor will they be inclined to do
much at the next session. So long as
prosperity is maintained it will appear
wisest for them to make show of in
producing bills by way of promises up
on which to ask a return of power.
These several matters of present con-
Germ all too nearly touch the financial
intererests which furnish campaign
contributions for the republicans to do
anything to offend their masters.

a SPARK or REVOLUTION.

It has remained for the little town Of
Arcola, Illinois, to furnish the most
revolutionary and significant incident
Of the distressful period of suffering
entailed by the coal famine in the
West.
Arcola has been freezing and freez-
ing without remedy or relief. Her
people have offered to buy coal even
at the prices extorted by the combine.
There was no coal to be had.
On Saturday night an Illinois Cen
trail freight train rolled INTO Areola and
stopped for water. 1t had sixteen cars
of good, black coal.
A freezing citizen saw the ebony rich
es and gave the alarm.
1t was more electric than a call to
arms. 1t was call to arms.
In fifteen minutes two hundred stall
wart citizens had massed at the depot.
The train was captured and the crew
gently imprisoned. An immediate tel
egram was sent to the headquarters of
the Illinois Central railway offering to
buy the coal at standard prices. An
instant refusal came back over the
wires.
s'Then we'll confscate it, said the
Arcola men.
The train was sidetracked, the crowd
organized, wagons, drays and carriages
were summoned from every quarter,
and without disorder or scramble or
personal greed, the sixteen cars of coal
were duly and equitably distributed
among the people of Arcola and the
immediate vicinity who will now be
comfortable for the remainder of the
winter.
Now, mark you, this was no ire
sponsible mob at Arcola. It was made
up of the best people of the town. The
leader of the confscating party was the
president of the leading local bank.
Among his lieutenants were two of the
pastors of the city churches, and the
merchants and citizens made up the
body of workers.
Illegal? Yes, assuredly.
Revolutionary? A trife so.
But it was human nature to the core,
and it carries a lesson of significant i'm
portance.
This is the lesson: That men in all
conditions of life, when uniustly de
priyed of the necessities of life by con-
ditions which were not born of their
own idleness or crime, will assert the
higher law of necessity to preserve life
and to provide for their own.
And that men in the middle ranks OF
life, who are less cowed by poverty and
less inundated by continual want,
will make this assertion with greater
promptness and greater boldness I'M
der necessity than the poor or the Grim
inal, who are meek and afraid.
The Arcola people will doubtless pay
honestly for their confscated fuel.
But some of these trust magnates.
sitting in their coming towers and
watching the furious battle of accumu.
lation, as it goes ''all their way" will
be wise if they heed the lesson of this
revolutionary incident, and mark the
shadowy line which points the differ
ence between endurance and assertion.

We know that and have proved it In
many instances.
The reason Vinol reiuvenates and
strengthens person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it, the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolvedin delicate mild wine.
in a highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vino1 does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in a beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from WELL
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it I am much
improved in health, and during the in
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in my liter
airy work if it had not been for the
| strengthening properties of Vinol.
