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!

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. Tulare Citizen.

Household Hints.
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.
To destrov files, boil the parinsrs of
potatoes in a little water for an hour.
Skim them out and boil the water
down to a few tablespoonfuls. Sweeten
with molasses and turn into plates. It
is a dcadlv poison. Another method
w
is to steep quassia chips to a strong de
coction, sweeten and proceed as above.
