stations and offices where there
can be obtained stamps, postofice
orders, foreign and domestic. No
nation on earth has a better and
more efficient system than the
United States. The only fault to
--be found is that Uncle Sam does
not pay the clerks and carriers the
wages they should have. To tramp
from morning to night weighed
down as they are with mail matter
for the pitiful sum of fifty to sew
enry-fve dollars per month is not
in keeping with the best country
on earth. If left to the people
who hail their daily visit with
gladness they would be voted an
increase of wages.
Many young men of our coun,
try are daily willing away their
time. How many do we see prom
enading the streets, dressed like
millionaires and without any occu-
patton. They are subsisting on
their parents hard-earned money
only to become worthless dudes.
Every young man should be ap-
prenticed to a trade or occupation
for which he is naturally adapted.
It might be unAmerican but in
case the parent does not place him
in some avocation the public au-
thorities should on the score OF
benefit to the public. What ac-
s,count is a lazy loafer made rich
Joy his good fathers efforts, spend
ing his money perhaps in dissipa-
ton and society balls. He is a
nuisance and an incubus on So
ciety.
Why should man live among
people and be Of no benefit to the
community in which he lives. The
man who lives to himself solely
and is of no benefit to others is
not a man in the full sense of the
meaning of the word. The Bible
saws, "No man liveth to himself. "
Therefore the man who lives to
himself only is not man as de-
signed by the Creator. The vii
LACE blacksmith was the very best
man in the village, though there
resided rich men. But riches does
not make the man; it more often
unmakes him. Honesty, sobriety,
industry and frugality, coupled
with the injunction Whatsoever
We would that men should do unto
you, do we even so unto them,
makes the perfect man. The peo-
pie are beginning to realize that
character makes the man and not
j, wealth.
Upon the question of the tariff
the democratic party is fast beng
converted to the republican prin-
ciple Of protection. Before the
civil war when the slave toiled for
the master without compensation,
in the fifteen Southern states, that
section was the hot bed OF democ-
racy and they were in favor OF
free trade for the labor OF plant
inc and cultivating the cotton cost
them nothing. Now, when they
have to pay wages to the Negro
and compete with the foreign
product they want congress to
levy protective tariff on the for
eign article brought in this coun-
try for sale in competition with
them. It makes a difference as
to whose OK is gored.

years. 1.-THE Blue Mouse has been
''caged" by the Messrs. Shubert and
will be exhibited here for the
first time at the Grand next Thursday

The farce is one of those rollicking
plays that makes one forget every

be seen as 1.-THE Blue Mouse"
