lions Seven for a Dollar.

In every government there are IN
reality only two political classes
plutocrats and producers. Between
them there is a constant struggle Tor
supremacy. The plutocrats are less
in numbers, always yigllant and
therefore better organized than the
producers. AS result plutocracy Sc
cures many fayors and special prlvll-
eyes through which it constantly lat
tens at the expense OF the people.
Through special legislation it grows
more powerful until eventually the
very government falls into its con-
troll. Such has been the history or
every nation. If this government is
to avoid a similar fate the people
must be diligent and organize Iof
their own protection. The machinery
and organization of both oil the old
political parties is now controlled by
aplutocracy. The republican party
long ago forsook the teachings Oh
Abraham Lincoln and its early found
ers and has exalted in their places
the plutocrats Of modern times. The
democratic party under the leader
ship of Mr.. Bryan promised many re-
forms for the people in its Kansas
City and Chicago platforms Because
he dared to champion the cause OF the
people plutocracy has overthroWn the
leadership of Mr.. Bryan and in St.
Louis has secured complete control
of the democratic organization. Gro
yer Cleveland, David B. Hill, Senator
German and their ilk will run the
democratic organization in the future.
Under such leadership what hope is
there for the people?
Only one course is Open-push the
organization and growth Of the peo-
pies party in every locality The con-
ditions are similar to those that made
the organization of the republican
party necessary. Through it Lincoln
was elected and plutocracy was over
thrown. 1t can be done again. Thou
sands of republicans are tired of
trust rule and corporate domination
in that party and will gladly join in
building a new party for the relief of
the people. Hordes of democrats in
every state who have remained in the
democratic party hoping for Mr.. Bry-
ans success will refuse to submit to
the dictations Of August Belmont and
follow the lead of Hill and Cleveland.
They will quit the democratic ship
and vote the peoples party ticket from
top to bottom.

JEROME is SCORED
BY MAYOR HARRISON
His Advice Incendiary, Says the Mayor
of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Mayor Harrison
pays his respects TO District Attorney
Jerome of New York for his criticism of
the Chicago officials.
Mr.. Jerome's advice that the police
should beat thugs. whether they resist
arrest or rot. and bring them into the
station in fragments. caused Mr.. Harri-
son TO become indignant.
That is nice advice to come from a
law-enforcing official" said the mayor.
Mr.. Jerome's idea is that when
the police arrest a man they should pro-
coed on the theory that he has resisted
arrest and proceed to hammer him TO
pieces on this pretense
Maybe it is all right for advice of this
incendiary kind TO come from the ordi-
nary citizen, but when a representative
of the law gives it, it sounds strange, to
say the least"

Long Trolley Proposition.

An expert electrical and trolley line
engineer is in the city engaged in in
specting the Washington terminals of
the Washington, Baltimore and Anna
polls Electric Railway. He represents
several of the rich Eastern syndicates
now owning systems between here and
New York city and it is understood
that these men have a plan for a gen.
eral consolidation of companies into one
continuous line from New York to
Washington and probably Norfolk
h. w. Willis is the name of the visit
ing engineer. He is stopping at a local
hotel. When asked yesterday concerning
the feasibility of constructing and Oper-
ating at a profit so long a system, he
said he thought such a system would
pay. There were many lines in the
country almost as long as the one pro-
posed and all were earning dividends.
There are already connecting links Of
roads, he said, between New York and
Philadelphia, and the latter city and
Perryville, half way between Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. He said about fifty
miles of track must be laid before that
line viii be complete. This would en-
tall an expenditure of nearly half a
million dollars.
He said he had no doubt, however,
that the money could be raised easily
II the syndicates think well enough Of
the proposition to go into st. Definite
action is to be taken when the engineer
makes his report. Rumors have been in
circulation several months that the
Washington-New York trolley scheme
was being considered. but until the ar
rival of Mr.. Willis nothing definite could
be learned. MIR. Willis said 1t would be
a year or more after work actually be-
gins on the final connections before the
road would be in operation

Admiral Clark were roommates when
midshipmen at Annapolis, and have
been lifelong friends.

To Filter Water.

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
has under consideration a plan to filter
all of the water used by its locomotives.
The reason for this is that when the
streams from which water is now OBJ
tanned become low, the water is iT1preg-
mated with sulphur or some other chem
ical that destroys the boilers Of the
machines. Last summer several new
engines had to be sent to the repair
shop in forty-eight hours after they had
been put to work. 1t Is expected that
S250.000 will be needed to establish the
plants. but the officers think the ex-
penditure we'll merited.

OUTSPOEEN ANARCHIST
GREETED THE PRESIDENT
Was on Board of Directors
of Saengerfest,
WATCHED BY AN ASSOCIATE
Announcement of the Fact Creates
Much Surprise in Baltimore's
Principal Singing Society.

When President Roosevelt attended
the big saengerfest in Baltimore last
June, few persons in the United States
knew he was facing the same situation
that brought about the death of Presi-
dent McKinley-the presence of a plot
ting and defiant anarchist. This fact
has just been made known in Baltimore
at a meeting of the United Singers
of Baltimore by Leopold II. Wieman,
president of the Saengerfest Association,
who declared that a member of the
board of directors was an avowed an
archist and as such was known to have
presided at an anarchistic meeting.
The identity of this man was made
known to President Wieman by a man
who was at one time an anarchist. This
man declared that about ten days after
the assassination of President Mchin-
ley he, then being an anarchist. attended
a meeting at which this member of the
board was presiding and made a lengthy
speech so pronounced in it's tone that
the man shuddered and left the meeting.
unable, though a fellow-anarchist, to
conform with such beliefs.
The Washington times., 1904-01-10
Announcement a Sensation.

Mr.. Wieman said, when he discov-
cred the character OF the man serv-
ing on his beard he was overcome
with surprise and fear for the outcome
of President Roosevelt's visit to the fest.
Mr.. Wieman, however, gave the man as
few opportunities as possible to take
an active part in any of the preparations
for the event and believed this deferred
him and his associates from placing sig
nifcance in the Presidents visits.
President Wieman's announcement
that an anarchist had been serving on the
board OF directors formed a sensational
feature of the last meeting, and
though all danger was passed everyone
was fear-stricken. Much confidence had
been placed in this man. as well as in
every other member of the board, and
the revelation shocked the society.
1t is not known just what this man is
doing now. or whether he has any con-
nection with the society. but members
of the latter believe that. although
President Wieman has not divulged his
identity. the man will not be allowed TO
fraternize with the society any longer.

Portuxuese Characteristics.


The men Of Portugal are as fond Of
show as are the women. Their fingers
are nearly always loaded with rings,
and about their bodies, which are
often as round as the bowls Of their
tobacco pipes, hang chains as thick as
ropes. from which are suspended
punches of trinkets.
The Portuguese dandy Is very fond
Of anything that will attract public
attention to his much esteemed per
son. Above his snowy vest he wears
a cravat of cleaning coiors, while in
his buttonhole is stuck full blown
rose of inordinate size. | think l am
pretty safe in saying that most of the
promenaders have seen strutting
about in the chief thorsughfares on

nobility which they arroeate to them
