Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through
the columns Of his paper, The Com
moner, that the principal cause of
democratic defeat this year was that
tho men who secured control of the
party organization ut st. Louis
sounded retreat when charge
should have been ordered all along
the line He insists that conditions
demand radical action, and that the
people want something definite upon
which they can rely. The Com
moner, he announces, will carry on
a campaign Of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow Of
private monopolies. labor legislation,
municipal ownership of public
utilities, public ownership Of rail
roads and telegraph systems, an in
come tax. the election Of federal
judges by the people, the election of
United States senators by popular
vote, direct legislation, and the Sc
lection Of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain con-
troll of the party organization. To
do this the friends of reform
throughout the entire country must
work together. A democrat paper
OF national scope offers the best
means for carrying on this work,
and The Commoner occupies this
field. The campaign Of education
and organization which Mr.. Bryan
announces will be carried on through
The Commoner will not only be
interesting and instructive, but
every democrat and independent
thinker should receive The Com
moner regularly SO as to keep in
touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify
himself with facts and arguments to
convince his republican neighbor
that the democratic party offers the
surest relief from class legislation
and trust domination.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan
has quoted us on his paper enables
us to send you The Commoner and

cApER SAUCE.

II II Delicious and HealtAful and
Should BE Carefully Made.
Caper sauce is one of the most deli
cious and healthful of sauces. It Is
served with boiled mutton and boiled
fish, such MS halibut and fresh cod.
Never use drop of water in its max
ing. Put two heaping tablespoonfuls
Of butter in a saucepan over a very
slow fire. In another saucepan over
the fire put pint Of rich milk. When
the butter begins to bubble in the
saucepan stir in briskly two heaping
tablespoonful Of flour that has been
sifted twice. Keep stirring the butter
and flour until it is MS smooth us
cream; then pour in little at time
the hot milk, stirring the sauce con-
stantly to keep it from sticking or
Jumping. When the milk is all In and

Comfy.

Corporations organized outside Of
any state are to that state foreign
corporations. To do business there
in is privilege, resting entirely on
the principle Of comfy" and not a
legal right. Livery state has the
power to prohibit foreign corpora
tions from doing business within its
borders, except possibly the ship
ping of goods into its territory Sin
original packages" A corporation
is an artificial person, which has no
legal existence outside of the state
which creates it, and when created
for an unlawful or improper purpose
the principle Of comfy should not
aid it in jurisdictions where its
methods and dealings are repugnant
to law aud menace to property
rights.
The state Of New Jersey for illus
tration imposes few conditions, other
than the payment of a large incor-
poration fee, upon corporations
which it creates. Many of its COR
porations own no property and do
no business in that state, but orga-
nize there to better enable their
managers to prey upon the business
and commerce of the people Of other
Fs svsss fss.s Ctr Prs Pis'
priety license pirates to go out upon
the oceans and destroy the com
MERGE of sister nations.
Most of the great corporations,
commonly called trusts, conduct
their nefarious business under New
Jersey charters. They are conspira-
cies in restraint of trade, and Their
every act is a constructive fraud, be.
cause the object Of their existence
is unlawful. Then why should the
courts Of the state Of Iowa extend
any comfy to these unlawful com.
binations which are organized tc
unlawfully deprive our citizens Of
their property rights?
And why should not the federal
government, which has the control
of all interstate commerce, protect
the people Of the several states from
the depredations of these land
pirates?

IN MEMORY OF a TRAGEDY
Chicago People Hold Memorial Service
on the Anniversary of the lroquois

Chicago, Dec. .31.-Yesterday was
the anniversary Of the terrible fire IN
the IroquoIs theater, and among those
who had lost loved ones in the. holo-
SSaHyt Ii was AsE 8S SS y Rs
was the fact that the present owners

How He Guard. HI. Nest.

There is nothing very remarkable
about the bird known as the crested
1ycatcher, as far us appearance goes.
He wears crest coquettishly upon his
pretty head, and from under 1t his eyes
look particularly large and bright. His
name is crested fycatcher, and what
has made him especially noted is his
little popularity in arranging his nest.
When he has completed the building
of his nest he hunts about until he
finds the CASTOR skin Of snake. This
he carries to his nest and fnstens
there MS sort of decoration. It hns
been surmised that his chief object In
doing this is to brighten away any In
truders.

wincglnss or tumbler containing just
enough water to make the whole affair
balance when you take your hands OF
1t.
So far you have accomplished strik-
ing and "ticklish" balancing feat and
that is all. Now attach bullet, coin
or any small heavy object to a thread,
carefully lowering 1t into the water in
tile little glass. AS soon us the coin
touches the water the glass begins to
go down. the knives turning like see
saws on the corks, and the more Of the
coin you submerge the lower goes the
glass, SO that II the coin is large you
will have smash before 1t is huff I'M
der water. But you can pull 1t up at
any instant. AS you do so the glass
follows as II 1t were glued to the coin,
and SO you can keep 1t seesawing up
and down.
Perhaps the reason Of this is not
clear TO you. The coin is held up by
the thread md does not touch the
glass, SO how can 1t affect 1t? Well,
the coin is not held up by the thread
alone. The part that is under water is
held partly by the thread and partly
by the water. which buoys It up with a
force equal to the weight of IN equal
bulk of water. The coin, therefore.
presses the wuter and consequently the
glass downward with an equal force.
Now, when you pull out the coin this
extra weight is taken of, so the glass
rises to Its original position
