Twelve Reasons Why a Man Should Remain a Bachelor. London Tid-Bits: 1. If a man is nat urally selfish, for goodness sake let him always look after No. 1. 2. If his mother Is the best cook In the world, let him stop with her. 3. If. whenever he opens his mouth, he Is always putting his foot in it, he had better never propose to a girl. 4. If he Is a thorough miser, it were better for him to remain slngular-ly miserable. 5. If he is generally a woman-hater let him become a hermit in the Isle of Man. 6. If he detests children and calls them pests, he is evidently uncivilized and unworthy to frequent the haunts of a civilized community. 7. If physically and constitutionally unfitted for matrimony, it is nothing less than criminal for him to marry. 8. If a man is blessed with a good sister to whom he Is unkind and eve.n cruel, he is certainly unsuitable for a partner to any one else's sister. 9. If a man Is earning less salary than the woman whom he might care to marry is earning, let him not marry her. 10. If a man would be likelly to prefer after marriage the company of club associates and the pleasures of the bil liard table to the sweet companionship of a hallowed happiness of a home, let him refrain from thinking of marry ing. 11. If a man will be unable to main tain a wife as comfortably as she has been used to, and unlpss he has some thing saved toward future unforeseen eventualities, he had better remain a bachelor, for when poverty comes at the door, loves fles out of the window. 12. If he would be unwilling to frank ly tell before marriage everything of his past life, which, in the event of his marrying, would, If found out. cause endless trouble and lifelong un happlness, let him, by all means, re main single. Hon. C. II. Russell, commissioner of public lands and buildings, throws out this suggestion: "Why wouldn't the state lose four and une-nalf millions of dollars of Its permanent school fund if the silver syndicate succeed? We have in the office of the commissioner of public lands and buildings promis sory notes to the amount of J5.0o0,000 belonging to the permanent school fund. The state now holds three mil lion dollars' worth of bonds anU before the sll-er barons can possibly enact their silver scheme into law, the state will have bonds to the amount of $4, 000.000. Total. $3,000,000, belonging to the permanent school fund and draw ing 4, 44, 5, 6 and 7 per cent Interest. "Every dollar of the above Is as good as gold and Is worth one hundred cents on the dollar. "Will not the parent who votes in the Interest of the jrflver barons, be guilty of a great wrong against his children? Mr. Bryan said in his speech at Crete, that the dollar that we have today Is a wicketi dollar because it was worth Just twice what it ought to be, and that free and unlimited coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1 would reduce ita value one-half. Wouldn't -it be wise for the mothers of this state to take a hand and try to protect her children by at least suggesting to their father that he stay at home one evening and think?" THE "TARIFF REFORM" HERESY. Hon. William J. Bryan, the chosen leader of the democrats for the presi dency, in a telegram to the New York World made the following statement: Tariff reform grow strong in the west and south, while it was rejected as a heresy In the east. It took years of stringent efforts to carry the cause of tariff reform across the AUeghenies, but the principles conquered i ntlme. Yes. the principles conquered In time, but what did they conquer? They con quered the people, the industries, the prosperity of the country; they con quered intelligence and morality. They closed our factories, turned our work ingmen out of employment, destroyed confidence, locked up the money, pro duced the panic of 1893 and the strikes and riots of 1894. They have produced general paralysis In business all over the country, and totally destroyed con fidence in business enterprises. They locked up money in banks, in safe de posit and trust companies and kept it out of business. They were the main cause of lowering prices and of the hard times among farmers and work ingmen of which so many complain. They have nearly bankrupted the coun try from ocean to ocean and from lakes to gulf. Yet these reformers, free traders, tariff for revenue advocates, will not comprehend what is the cause of the hard times and low prices. The whole aim of the free traders is to destroy the credit and Influence of men who have made money. Should they ever do this they will discover that the- have "killed the goose that lays the golden egg." There is about as much sense in attempting to destroy the influence or Injure the business of bankers as there would be for the In habitants of a city depending upon electric lights to destroy the electric light plant. This country was never in a better condition financially than under the McKinley hill during the Harrison ad ministration. But look at the condi tion of things now. Do the voters of this country want any further pun ishment, with hard times and low prices and general bankruptcy, than they have already received? It so, let them vote for the democratic-popu-Iistic-free-trade-free-everything pro gram. See the new Photochromes at Cran cer & Curtice Co.'s. 207 South 11th street, the newest thing In pictures.
