binding ourselves to the dangers of a high

A Cry of Alarm from a Republican Source

Topeka State Journal (Rep)
The Socialists have grown so strong and ag-
pressive in Massachusetts, that both parties are
frightened, and it is evident, says the Spring
field Union, that the members of the Legislature
are nearly ready 10 throw up their hands at the
first attack of the growing party. Continuing
its cry of alarm, tie Union says: 1.-The most
important measure before the Legislature is the
one permitting the purchase OF lighting plants
at practically the cost of duplication, bill
providing for this passed its first reading in the
house by vote of 81 to 65,,all the Democrats,
save Represent ative Booth, of this city, and OF
course all the Socialists voting yea. AS this
was he first stage of the measure, il is hoped
on a larger vote to defeat it. The opponents
of the measure feel certain that it will be killed
in the senate if it reaches that body, so that we
have no cause TO fear It's actual passage, but
grave reasons to dread the tendencies which
the vote on the measure showed. To the
credit OF the Springfield members, 1t should be
said that all five voted against the bill. so
radical is it that it has become known as the
"confiscation' bill because it proposes to take
from the owners OF these lighting plants all
that they possess save practically the increase
sum of their assets. Nothing quite so radical
and unfair has ever before passed even single
reading of the house. II carried to its logical
seqn ence it means that the Springfield Street
Railway Company could be taken by the city
at practically the cost of duplication, as well
as the gas company and the electric light com
panv. II it is right for the municipality to
conf scate such property, it is right for The
state to do the same, and the Boston & Albany
and Fitchburg companies would pass from the
present owners at invoice price. Nothing IN
this measure would compel a municipality to
take public service corporation, and so those
that are being conducted at loss would be
permitted to continue to lose, while the success
full ones would be sandbagged"

WE are in receipt of a paper called The Key,
published at Hiawatha, by Grant W. Haring-
ton. 1t is the official organ of the Life and An
nuity Association. The first article is on "Cheap
Insurance" and in it is the claim that the day
of insurance, or insurance at cost IS over" 1t
probably is over until the states take the matter
in hand and insure at cost And why shouldn't
this be done?

THERE are some people who say, ''Well,
Socialism issall right, but we will gradually
drift into it. Things will shape themselves to

who talks like this reminds us of whom Carlyle
saws: ga whole eternity l waited to be born,
and now have a whole eternity waiting to see
see what will do when born. THE New

REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED.

Dispatches from Washington state that the

vestigatiou. Yesterday, his resignation was re-
ceived by the postmaster general. The de-
partment of A. w. Meachem, the superntend-
emit of free delivery, has been marked for inves-
tigaton, and, should the inquiry IN this disec'-
ION prove failure, other divisions of the de-
partinent will be turned upside down by the in
vestgators
"Thoueh but a few days old, the investigation
has uncovered such rotten condition OF affairs
In the department at large that the Presiden mt
and his cabinet stand aghast at the revelations.
Everywhere the probe has been inserted, proof
of corruption and bribery mas been brought to
light.
1.-THE inspectors who have teen put to work
ON the investigation have already found convinc-
ing proof of divisions of profits between the var
ious swindling get-rich-quick schemers OF the
country and the officials of the postoffice depart
ment.

You Will Be Happy if Well.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
BestOWs that Health and
Vigor that Makes Liv=
ing a Pleasure.

If you are sick and -of-sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy. -
There is not the slightest reason why you
should go through life feeling sickly, miserable,
languid, and melancholic. To be we'll and
strong, means happiness and true joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptc, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous-
ands once in half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM. S. Gibson, of
Pleasureville, Ky, who, through sickness and
suffering, was brought near the dark grave,
writes as follows, regarding his marvellous
cure:-
81 have been broken down in health and
strength, nervous system shattered, kidneys
out of order, had nervous and trembling spells
off and on for the last ten years. I have taken
three bottles of your Paine's Celery Compound
and all of the above mentioned troubles have
left me, and can now do good days work.
l go about my business all day long and it
don't worry me, and 1 now feel better than
have in ten years. I have a good appetite,
and can eat and get around on foot as active
as when I was a boy. My age is IS years.
