ocracy because they sincerely believe
that it stands for the welfare of the
common people, will ever make the
abject surrender that August Belmont

does it will not. only surrender its
principles, but it surrenders every pos
sible hope of election. If the party Is

There was a big man who waxed hoc
Because of a huge spreading blot;
But despite his endeavor
To hide it forever,
He found that, alas, he could not.
He wrote columns galore to explain
Tho cause of the huge spreading stain;
But write as he might
Tho blot was In sight
I And there will it ever remain.
You may wash both your hands as
you will,
Scrub, scour, scrape and rub till you're
ill,
But despite all your pains
The blot still remains
TO' haunt you and worry you still.
meet and right that Andy should re
member his friends in the day of their
trouble. And the republican party has
been Andy's faithful Mend. He ac
quired immense riches out of the laws
enacted by a republican congress in
his favor. He owes all his millions to
the republican party, which manip
ulated things in such manner as to
enable Andy to hold up the govern
ment as ruthlessly as any road agent
ever held up a stage coach. Indeed .f
Andy were disposed to do the lair
thing he would make it two millions,
instead of one, Tho republican party
has earned every dollai ui it.
A Country School.
The little white country school,
with its memories is but a fading vi
sion. The people are dissatisfied with
it and the state superintendent says it
rilust go. The barefooted boys and the
sunbonneted girls are to be educated
in an altogether new manner. Take
a last glance as you see them along
the roadside on their way home from
school. The dinner pails flash In the
afternoon sun "as the childish groups
trudge along in different directions.
Ear across the plowed fields, "here and
there, are to be seen tho homes from
which th'ey were sent in the morning,
the high, wind mill, tho big, red barn,
the house sheltered by a row of wil
lows. The "childish hands are filled
with -wild flowers which have not yet
been driven from the prairies, and the
tanned faces, unusued to the gaze of
strangers,' droop in embarrassment aS
you pass. The school house is silent,
but the windowr. are open and with
in is the teacnerr attending to tho"
duties which mnat be done after the
school has closo.l for the day. The
birds hum and drone fearlessly about
tho building and sometimes go so far
as to flit In and out of the windows.
There is the play ground, where tLc
prairie grass is growing rank, unhin
dered in Its growth by tho dozen pairs
of feet that trample upon it at recess.
Tho sturdy farmer, plowing over there
m the field, carved his initials in the
very desk at which hla children are
now doing their sums. On the edge
worn register are the names of those
who hay risen in the stern world,
of those who have failed and of those
who are dead. The lonely country
school, and the country pupils dT to
day, form a pasnjng picture. Hamp
ton (la.) Chronicle.
Strapping Th Baby.
A partial "return to the wild" was
advocated last night by Prof. Pied
erick Starr, lecturing on Iroquois In
dians" at tho Academy of Sciences.
He said:
'If white people would adopt the
method of the Indians, strapping their'
babies to cratile boards, we should see
fewer round shouldered people. I have
learned that this has been done by a
few persons in Boston and other east
ern cities. It is a good method ol
keeping the backs of infants straight,
and- the babies don't cry. half as much
as they do when given "more liberty."
The lecture was illustrated by stere
optlcon views showing types of Iro
quois Indians and their manner of
life. Indian songs and music were re
produced by a phonograph. Chicago
Tribune.
How the Farmer is Robbed.
Although the firmer does not set
aside a portion of his prcduco and
nand it over directly to the tarltt
beneficiaries, he might just as well do
so for all the dlilorcnce it would make,
In effect. He sells his produce at fixed
prices in the open maiets of tne
world, and out, of the money receired
must pay a certain portion to tat- mo
nopolies In excess of what their goods
are worth. He is poor: by just as
much is robbea of just as much- as
would be the case if he were compelled
to set aside puit of his wheat, corn,
oats, hay and other croprf and turn it
over to Lhe privileged inter cetj. Bloux
Uty Tribune.
Unjust Promotions.
The majority of people take vry
little interest in army matters dar
ing peace. We are accustomed to re
garding our ariuv as invincible whsn
ever the time comes to fight. Nevtr
theless, it Is quite certain that if tie
army is to be demoralized by unjust
promotions during peace, the country
will inevitably suffer if we should eyr
be precipitated into war with a jgreat
power.Houston ,Post.
