Buying Offices

If the people are wise they will make
it impossible for any man to buy his way
into any office. AS it is now man with
plenty of money can have any office he
wants. It should be made crime to
use money. Let the Office seek the man
to greater extent. The man without
money has no show in race for office
where money can be used, and many
good men refuse to allow their names to
be used just because they do not care to
spend the money necessary to be elected.
1t often costs more than an Office is
worth to get it, and the man WhO gets it
must either be loser or a graftGr.-Ga
zette.
1t was not so before we had the pri-
mary election law, when man Of merit
and ability might aspire to office althO'
poor. Now the man with the fat bank
account can go into the political market
and buy office, the question of cOmpe
tency and wOrthiness cutting no figure
IN the selection Of officials. 1t has led
to the debauchery of the electorate of
the state and the machinery Of the state
has been used to perpetuate men in office
who neither had claims on the public
nor Marty

Why Editors Dun

The following appears on a bill head
Of a western country weekly:
Suppose that a farmer raises 1000
bushels Of wheat year, and sells this to
LOCO persons in all parts Of the country,
a great portion of them saying. i will
hand you dollar in short time The
farmer does not want to be small, and
saws. All right Soon the 900 bushels
are gone and he has nothing to show for
it, and then he realizes that he has fooled
away his whole crop and its value is due
in a thousand little driblets. cOnse-
quently he is seriously embarrassed in
business because his debtors, each owing
him one dollar, treat it as a small matter,
and think it would not help much. Con-
tinue this kind of business year in and
year out, as the publisher does, and how
long will he stand it?"
That is just what is gnawing the vi
tails out of the Leader publisher. Hun

often put to his wits end to pay expenses,

AndGrSOnVille and WirZ

monument to the memory OF WIrZ
the wretch who was in charge of the An
dersOnyille prison during the civil war,
has been erected by the women Of the
south. As $1,000 union soldiers were
murdered and starved to death at that
prison during the war, the southern
women no doubt desire to perpetuate the
memory of the most heartless wretch OF
that sad experience. The grandfather OF
Sim Baumann who knew WiTZ in SWitZ-
erland and who served in the Union
army during the rebellion, sent to Mr.
Baumann poem relative to the mOnu-
ment to Wirz, the same having been
composed by gentleman at Columbus
Ohio. One stanza will suffice to show
the spirit of the production;
''Yes, let staryatiOn's fearful work
Be chiseled perfect too;
The sunken eyes, the followed cheeks,
And bones prOtruding thru;
Diseases stamp and fever's fire
Cut true, that they may tell
The coming generations there

VOLUME XIX
Should Get Together

Two weeks ago, there was an article IN
the Leader calling the attention Of the
laboring class in this city to the fact,
that by uniting they could control the
city politically and elect competent and
deserving members of their class to the
salaried offices IN. the city. The trouble
in the past, in fm0st places has been, that
the men who labor for Livelihood are
divided into factions which are jealous
Of each other and become political prey
for shrewd, designing politicians OF both
parties and are misled by the cry OF
party from whom they have nothing to
expect That there are laboring men In
this city competent to fill any position
from mayor down, cannot be successfully
denied, but 10 IaboTing man has ever
been nominated nor elected by the dom
inant party in this city. Why? Because
the ring which is in control Of city af-
fairs have no love for the labOring man,
only as it can use him as political as
set at the polls on election day, after
which, he can go into seclusiOn until
the next election to be again fooled by
the cry Of party fealty. At the present
time party lines are about Obliterated
and in a short time undoubtedly will
disappear altogether in local elections if
not generally, and it is time for the
labOring class to assert itself in munich
pal government and exercise the indie
Dendence Of freemen.

"PseudO-science :" said Nikola Tesla, at
dinner of electricians, apropos of an
electrical cure for old age.
ITO layman," Mr.. Tesla resumed
'such cure sounds reasonable. But to
a scientist it is as ridiculous as the tele-
phone cure for cOrpulence.
You have heard of that? No?
We'll, Herbert Heayey, weighing 2S5
pounds, decided to reduce electrically.
He wrapped coil of copper wire round
his waist, connected it with the tele-
phone apparatus. and, sure enough, be-
gan at once to grow lighter at the rate
of several pounds minute.
This is a grand scheme,' chuckled
Heavey, pulling out the waistband of his
trousers, which was already foot too
big for his waist.
Then suddenly, the telephone bell
rang.
els that Herbert Heavey? a gruff
voice asked.
YES was the reply.
"'Well, this is the exchange, snapped
the voice. will you please stop frying
scrapple with the telephone wires? Our
office is all full of NASTY fat"

Answers to Questions Asked

Yes, Carrie, if you can't well dispose of
your gum otherwise, it is perfectly
proper to swallow it, after the gas has
been turned down.
You are right Cordelia. Today will be
yesterday tomorrow and you should not
put off today what you should have done
yesterday,
1t is true Anna. No one would have
guessed that you were thirty-seyen and
some more. You certainly do not look it.
1t is our opinion Maud, that young
man after paying you attention for i've
years and has said nothing about mar
riage, should be given TO understand that
his absence is preferable to his presence.
It is evident that she is stringing you
William. Ii her intentions were as hon
orable as yours, she would not treat you
as she does Forget her as quick as you
can.
Do not be rash Herman. 1t may be a
misunderstanding which can be ex-
planned. Do not think she is the only
one at fault. Talk it over with her.

Titles Costly for Americans

The wealthieSt American girl to wed
foreigner OF title is believed to be May
GOelet, who brought 100000 to the
duke of ROXburghe. Pauline Ast0r, who
married Capt. Spender Clay, had S20,0OO,-
900, and Anna Gould at the time of her
first marriage Sl7,OOO,OOO. Mrs. Marshall
0. Roberts brought $12,0O0,000 t) Col.
Ralph Vivian, COnsuelO Vanderbilt sl0,-
100000 to the duke of Marlborough and
Sarah Phelps Stokes like sum to Baron
Halket. The three Letter girls, Mary.
Nancy and Ma: garet, brought $5,00O,000
each to Lord CurZOn Of KedlestOn. Capt.
Colin Campbell and the earl of Suffolk.
The two Garner girls brought 100000
apiece to the Marquis de Breteuil and
Sir William Gordon Cumming, and 81
100000 was also the dowry of Helen Zim-
norman on her marriage to the duke OF
Manchester, Claire Huntington when she
welded the Prince Won Hatzfelt, Beat
rice MinanS on becoming Countess de
Bearn ana Julia Bryant (Mackay) on
marrying the Principe di ColOnna.
1t is estimated that more that $780,
100000 has been expended by American
parents in the purchase of titles for
their daughters. Upwards of 400 girls
have married prominent Europeans in
recent years, this working out at an
average of $4,000 apiece, surely con-
seryative estimate in view of the figures
just given.
In number of cases the actual dover
has been small in comparison with the
money spent subsequently to the mar
riage. 1t has been estimated, for example,
that the dowager duchess Of Marlborough
spent s1OOO,0OO in restoring Blenheim
House. 1t is known, too. that many of
the Huntington and Mackay millions
have been spent in paying the debts of
the Princes HatZfelt and ColOnna. How
many millions it cost Levi P. Morton to
have duke for son-in-law and then to
get rid of him, probably only the former
vice president could tell.

Double Anniversary

Saturday, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. j. Wenck
celebrated the fOrtieth anniversary of
their marriage and the sixty-frst ami
yersary of the birthday of Mrs. Wenck at
their home in this city. Ghe children
were all at home, to make the occasion
one of marked pleasure for all.
1t can be truthfully said and without
fiattery, that Mr.. and Mrs. Wenck hold
their age remarkably well, both appear
ing to be much younger than the years
indicate. In fact, neither man or woman
grow old, only as the heart grows old,
for in the eternal cycles there is no age,
for there is no time by which to indicate
it. That they may never die, but fade
out like the daisies is the wish Of all
their friends.

THE BUFFALO.
A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Roadmakers.

A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Roadnakers
The buffalo was good surveyor. 1t
did not reason out why it should go in
a certain direction. but its sure instinct
took it by the easiest and most direct
paths, over high lands and low. to the
salt licks and water courses which
were its goal. The authors of The
Story of the Great Lakes" Edward
Claiming and NJ. f. Lansing. sag that
the buffalo observed something like
the principles which today govern the
civil engineer.
AS soon as the explorer landed on
the southern shores of Lakes Erie.
Michigan and Superior he came upon
buffalo roads or traces" Sometimes
these were narrow bitches. foot wide
and from six inches to two feet deep,
trodden down by the impact of thou
sands of hoofs as herd after herd of
buffaloes had stamped along in single
file behind their leaders.
When the first path became too
deep for comfort because of repea ted
lIdNSl Tue DuudlOGS NOulu dDdQUOn
and begin a second path alongside the
first, and thus the frequented traces
would be gradually widened.
Again, an immense herd of these
heavy animals would crash through
the forest. breaking in their rapid
progress a broad. deep road from one
feeding ground to another AS this
route would be followed again and
again by this and other herds, it would
become level and hard as a rock. so
that there was great rejoicing in pio-
neer settlements when the weary road
makers. struggling with log causeways
and swampy hollOws. came upon a
firm. solid buffalo trace. Nor was this
an uncommon experience.
The line of many of these roads is
followed today by our railroads and
canals. as it was followed by our log
roads and turnpikes.
The buffalo followed the level of the
valley. He swerved round high points
whenever it was possible, crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorgeS. and he crossed
from one side of stream of water to
the other repeatedly in order to avoid
climbing up from the level. after the
fashion of our modern loop railways.

ONE OYSTER ENOUGH.
He Swallowed 1t Alive and Had to Kill
1t After 1t Was Down.

A farm laborer from the interior on
his first visit to London dropped into
a small oyster shop where a number
of men were eating raw oysters. The
extreme satisfaction displayed on the
faces of those about him created long
ings Of gustatory nature in the new
arrival. who edged his way up to the
counter in anticipation of eating a
real live. juicy oyster.
1t was the first time be had seen an
oyster, and he became at once inter
ested, and when the shellfish had been
finally uncased he proceeded to bal
ance it on the end of his fork, then,
with a look of extreme satisfaction,
gulped it down.
Great Scott" shouted a man stand
ing near him. you haven't swallowed
the oyster alive. have you?"
There was a horrible pause.
THAT critter will eat right through
youn' shouted another.
By this time the poor country man
was shaking with fear and horror He
commenced to have terrible pains in
MS aDQOme0 ana was soon OOuDleu up
in his agony. He begged some one to
go for a doctor to get the thing out.
He continued to grow worse, when
some one suggested that he take a
dose Of tabasco sauce, which it was
claimed would kill the object that
was creating such terrible commotion
in his internal arrangement.
He grasped the bottle with avidity
and took a draft. His condition. which
before had been alarming to the vic
tim, now assumed a serious phase to
the perpetrators of the hoax.
The man gasped and choked. He
became black in the face, and tears
were running down his face, when
some one thrust a bottle of oil into
his mouth, and he was forced to drink
copious drafts.
The effect was magical. The oyster
was evidently dead" He became
more composed, and when he finally
recovered his breath he said:
1--WE killed it. But when that darn
ed stuff got into my stomach that oys-
ter rushed around as if a shark was
after it."-London Scraps.

The dairymen, about 200 in number,
are sore at the Van Camp Co. In the be-
ginning, the company paid a fair price
for milk which made it profitable for the
dairymen, but as soon as it had succeed
ed in closing up most of the creameries
and cheese factories in the vicinity of
this city, the price paid for milk began
to grow beautifully less and has reached
figure at which there is no profit for
the farmer; and the farmers do not like
