any presidential campaign.

There are no two ways about it,
We never can acquire the style and
well-put-up ness of appearance e.
sential to the prosperous and self.
respecting city We always intend
to be, unless winter and summer
our streets are neat and trim.
Streets are the index of municipal
character, and badly kept ones are
not to be tolerated any more than
untidy yards by the thrifty house
holder. 1t can fairly be said that
the quality of housekeeping is
stamped on the back door. and q
city cannot afford to tolerate the ez
istence of dirty back streets, GER
family not in the heart of its bust
ness section. any more than front
ones. A student in Paris. that
neatest of cities. told of a lesson
she once had. She lived in tiny
room at the top CT house, and one
day after picking a very little chick
en- wing very clean she tossed it
from ner window. Presently she
heard a stump stumping, which
after covering the four flights of
stairs stopped at her door, and she
was startled to find waiting an enor-
nous gendarme. In his hand he
held her mite of a chicken bone,
and he sternly presented it with
the warning that ouch an cffense
never occur hgain. Now, while we
are not yet looking for gendarmes
to return our chicken bones at the
height of five stories, We do claim
that littering the streets with re-
fuse of any sort is a bad citizen
ship. and that persons 80 doing
should be made amenable to city
regulations.

LOOK AT 1T.
Open Confession i. Good For The

6Ouls
However desirable it was to de-
feat the free silver agitation in
1896. did the end justify the means
employed to accomplish that de-
feat. 1t is not too much to say
that the money spent in 1896 to
prevent the election of Bryan re.
suited in political debsuohery,
such as was never before experience
ed in the United States. and from
which the politics and business of
this country have not even yet re-
covered. 1t is not far from the
truth to say that the country has
suffered more by reaeon of the po-
litical corruption of the 1896 CAM
paiRn thsn it would have suffered
from the triumphs of free silver,
Iamentable as that would have
been Bryan,s triumph of free
silver would have given the mar
kets a terrible shook, but Bryan
could not have really done much
harm in a practical way, and the
country would have made speedy
recovery from the disaster, but it
will take many years to recover
from the effects of the political de-
bauchery which has been brought
about by the abuse of millions of
dollars in political campaigns"
The above is clipped from the
Wall Street News and is a remark
able confession when We take into
consideration the fact that it was
the organ of the moneyed interests
of Wall street in 1896 and is still
such. In effect it is a virtual adj
mission that Mckinley was elected
by debsuohed votes purchased with
Doodle furnished by the money
power, and that Bryan's defeat, in
1896. was accomplished by the most
corrupt means ever employed in
any presidential campaign.

PRISON OF POLAND.
GLOOMY POLITICAL 6ASTILE AT
WARSAW.
Citadel Once Fortress, in Which
Thousands of Polish Patriots Were In
carcerated aud Where Many Grim
Tragedies We're Enacted.

The political prison of Warsaw is
the most hated and certainly the most
dreaded spot in all Warsaw. Once a
fortress, 1t Is now a political prison,
behind the walls of which many grim
and terrible tragedies are enacted.
How many men and women have
been executed in the citadel since the
present movement against the Cars
government reached Poland, nobody
but the comnandant and the governor
of the prison will ever know.
The few who return from this
prison say little about what goes on
inside, for they dare not tell the
truth. But their drawn faces, shat
tered nerves and bruised bodies speak
for themselves. Little wonder that
the citadel has been called the bastile
Of Poland; little wonder that the
Pole shudders at its red walls and
green ramparts. Not only is it the
slaughter house of his race, but its
guns, ever turned toward the city,

with bed, table and chair, and light
ed by a small barred window high up
In the wall.
The silence, but for the occasional
tramp Of sentrles' feet, is as the
silence of the grave; the air, damp
and close, bed, hard and narrow.
Worse than all are the two eyes,
which, glazing through the grating In
the door, watch him day and night till
1t seems as If they look into his very
soul, reading the secrets he must use
all his strength to keep.
But there are other hardships to
be borne. No books. nor letters. not
cigarette. not even the friendly tick
Of watch breaks the menotony of
those long, unmarked hours and rest
less nights. His warders treat him
like dog; he speRds five minutes
daily outside his ceA-three Ia snail

Back. This life gees on sometimes for
tive weeks. sometimes for as many
HaRths.
Then enc night, when he Is sleep
Ing eneasily Ia the narrow bed, the
ir~n door is Aung open and his ward
ers tell him to get up and dress.
Dazed and disheveled he follows them
