LAND LABOR CAPITAL. Sufficient tc, a spado or so, A plot of fertile land, And labor as a free-bora man Among bis kind can stanfl ; Dut if .one lialf the crop must go For use of seed and spade, If half of -what remains as rent For use cf land is paid. Then labor robbed, a slave, must lose Its independent place, For .unrequited toil creates A feeble, servile race. If trade, by manifold designs, Is rendered swift and free, If money flows a steady course, Then indolence will lice; But if a drought of means exists, Exchanges fail or flap, And business to a standstill comes, And enterprises lag, Than tramps bgin to bog for bread, And vies and crime appear; And health and wealth and happiness Give way to want and fear. It's plain to sec that what we need To driyo dull times away, Is freedom to produco and trado, And none to say us "nay." Dr. A. S. Houghton. The Kevellle. Our old enemy (the money power), bis army la two grand divisions, has been assailing us In front and rear, determined upon our capture. Our division (Old Groenbackers), from oar impregnable position, have ropulsed the enemy so vigorously that ho will now bo content to defeat; Instead of capture, our army. Once moro my pulse Is quickened by the thrilling cry of the faithful old Sentinel 'Corporal of tho Guard! No. One!" A daring and trusty scout has baen In tho camp of the enemy and re turned with an important message, revealing the plan of tho battle which, on tho morrow, will bo waged by the money power. Here it is. Listen! "If it should appear that there was real danger of the Peoples' party holding together long enough to do great mischief, the Democrats would unite -with the Republicans, from whom they differ chiefly on the tariff and oilices. and tho two would fight against one common enemy." Already tho money power have their foroos in motion, stealthily get ting them into position. Already have they selected two guns (Democratic candidates for president and vice president) to keep up the de ception of a divided army. Already has our commanding gen oral summoned his faithful lieuten ants to a timely conference. In responso, our forces are actively forming into a new line of battle, best calculated to frustrate tho designs of the enemy. And now, sleeping comrade, let me place a hand upon your shoulder and whisper in your ear the. call to battle: Fall into line! No noise! Be quick!" Arouse thee, old Soldier of Reform! We must got outside tho breast works. We must fight the enemy on his own chosen ground. At the dawn of the approaching day the battle will open fiercely all along tho lino. . , Upon the value of our arras will hang the fate of a nation. So, arouse thee, old comrade! Fall into line! No noise! Be quick! .Chicago Express. Poverty n Crime. ? A "Hobo1' was released from tho county jail on Sunday, after serving a sentence for vagrancy. Ho was arrested again at Tulare, before he could get out of tho county, and thrown into jail for vagrancy. Tho tramp has reason to remember Tulare county and the ubiquity of its con stables, who improve every shining honr. Visalia Delta. This tramp industry may be all very good for the constable who 'im proves every shining hour," but to tho taxpayer, who has to bear tho ex pense of prosecuting, guarding and feeding this class, whoso only crime wort aCthe same time, 'it is becoming monotonous. If to bo po&r is a crime, the time is not far distant when this country will be populated with a vast body of criminals. If the simple act of arresting and incarcerating this class of so-called criminals would lessen the numbor of these helpless victims of tho law, or even diminish in tho slightest degrco tho amount of crimo directly resulting from such criminality, there might bo some ex cuse in a civilized country for a law constituting poverty a crimo. A cause for this especial class of criminals most certainly exists, and it should be tho duty of civilized, intelligent people to determino this cause and to supply and enforce a speedy remedy. That this class of "criminals" (whoso only crimo is extreme poverty) is increas ing there is no room for doubt in the mind of tho most casual observer. To arrost and thrust them into jail does not constitute a remedy, but places an additional burden upon tho already over-burdened taxpayers; and steps should bo taken to relieve the people of this needless drain upon the public purse. The officers are not so much to blame as the lawmakera who are so idiotic as to attempt to give reliof by making poverty a crime; and they are not so much to blame as the people who countenance and support a political system which, in its results, creates paupers out of tho masses in order to hatch out a few millionaires. But tho officers who so persistently hunt out this class of criminals, and willfully ig nore other offenders who flagrantly ana openly violate law. snoum re ceive tho censure of the people, if nothing more.

It said that if the kerosene can is not lcent ticrhtlv corked, both at neck and spout, especially if in a warm place, the oil will burn dull and cake on the wick. A piece of chamois skin bound on the edjres, shaped to fit the heel and kept in place by a piece of elastic rubber, wnm over the stoclnners. will save much mending. Meat can be kept very nicely for a week or two by covering it with sour milk or buttermilk and placing it in a cool cellar. The bone or fat need not be removed. Rinse well before using, In case of fire somebody asserts that a wet $ilk handkerchief tied without folding over the face is a complete security against suffocation by smoke; it permits free breathing and at the same time excludes the smoke from the lungs. For severe hemorrhage from the nose try holding the arms of the patient up over the bead for five minutes at a .... . a time. A small piece of ice wrappea in muslin and laid directly over tho top of he nose will usually give relief. If the eyes are tired and inflamed from loss of sleep, by sitting up late or by long travel, apply in tho morning soft white linen, drippincr with hot water as hot as you can bear it lay ing the cloth upon the lids. You will feel the eyes strong and free from pain and distress in half an hour. Knives should never be put into hot water, which injures them, first by loosening the handles, and next by spoiling the temper of the steel. Wipe them first with a damp cloth and then rub on a smooth board which has been previously rubbed with a scouring brick or knife powder.
