Recently The grand lodge of the
Knights of Pythias of Missouri held
annual convention at Kansas City, and
adopted a resolution requesting the of
licers to demand that all grand lodge
prlntlng bear the-label, says the Typo
graphical Journal. St. Louis Typo
graphical union took the initiative by
adopting resolutions, which were ap~
provid by Kansas City Union No. SO,
and presented to the grand lodge by
printer Pythian?,;. The preamble and
resolutions are so apt and appropriate
that they may serve as a. model for
others with a similar purpose in view,
and we reproduce them

A Fable with a Moral.
One of tin- toasters at the Michigan
Federation of Labor convention told
the following story:
A farmer leaning over his fence one
day, wandering how he ever should
harvest, the great field of corn that lay
hack of him, when he saw a mule
leisurely strolling up the highway and
lazily cropping the grass that grew
in abundance at the roadside.
“My friend,” said the farmer, "get
into .the harness and-help me get my
crop into the barn, aud I will give you
all the corn that you can cat the days
that you work.”
"But how long shall I have to work
each day?” quizzed the careful animal.
“Fourteen hours,” said the farmer.
“Tut, tut,” replied the mule. “But I
can get all the grass I can eat In a day
by working seven hours on this fertile
roadside.”
“Pshaw,” retorted the farmer, begin¬
ning to get angry at being thwarted in
his purpose, “your father was glad to
work for me sixteen hours of the day,
and here you are complaining against
two hours less than that number.”
“Too true.” quoth the mule, “but you
must remember my father was a jack¬
ass,"
Work In thus Navy Yards.
Secretary Long has recently issued
an order amending the regulations
ative to the employment of labor in
all navy yards as follows;
Article 1574, paragraph 2, clause A;
reads as follows:
"For work performed by reason
emergency between the hours of 6 a.
in, and 8 p. m. ia excess of eight
the same rate of pay shall be allowed
as for eight hours' work.”
Clause C provides, that:
“Men who have rendered service
ing the day who, by reason of
geney, are required to work in
of eight hours, shall be paid for
such extra work performed after 8 p
m. and before 6 a. m, at the same
per hour as for day work, with 50
cent additional."
I have teaiied the following regula
tion circular:

labor dispute may be the proper thing
from the Spanish viewpoint, but It Is
likely the Americans will look at the
matter in a different light.
What l» Organlxatlon?
It Is the act of forming organs or
instruments of action. In entering the
field of labor it matters hot whether
by brain or hand, It is absolutely nec¬
essary for aii wage-workers to band
themselves together for self protection.
and by so doing they protect one an
other. All reforms that have been ac
compllshed has been done through or
ganlzatlons and unity of action, conse
fluently It behooves the mechanic and
laborer of this country to wake up to
the fact that he is losing eight of his
own interests,, by allowing himself to
be hoodwinked by those who seek to
deprive him of his Inallable right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness. The wage-workers of this or
any other country can not accomplish
anything individually, it must be by
concerted action, therefore {t is neees
sary for them to organize and
cate, and not pass their lives in forg
tug chains for themselves and then
complain of weaving them. Signed, A

Simple Gymnastic,#.
To remain young a woman must keep
her joints limber; if neglected they be¬
come painful and stiff. Women groan
with rheumatic pains when, if they ex¬
ercised properly, rheumatism would be
unheard of. Women sit by a fire and
shiver with a cold when, if they en¬
couraged gymnastics, the blood would
circulate vigorously through the body.
The following four simple exercises
will greatly help to develop .and pre¬
serve physical symmetry:
1. Stand erect, wfitb hands out¬
stretched, on a level with the shoul¬
ders, “and slowly raise yourself on your
lots as far as possible, Retain this
position for an instant, and then sink
hack on to the entire foot. Do this
twenty times a day at first, and in¬
crease each day to a reasonable, limit.
2. Place the hands on the hips, and,
resting al! the weight of the body on
the right foot, slowly raise the left leg,
and extend H in front of the body.
Then bend at the knee, pointing the
toe downward and bringing the foot
up. Repeat this ten times at first.
Then stand on the left foot and re¬
peat the exercise in reverse.
3. Stand erect and lean over at the
hips without bending the knees and try
to touch the floor with the fingers. Day
by day you will come nearer and near¬
er the floor. This exercise will make
the body supple, and strengthen the
back, and will encourage grace.
4. Extend the right arm, and plac¬
ing the left on the hip. bend to right
aide as far as possible, and then re¬
verse the exercise, which should be
repeated ten times at first, and, like
all the others, increased from day to
day as much as cireumstances will per¬
mit. This is an excellent general gym¬
nastic. No woman uhould indulge
any exercise to such an extent that
even the slightest strain is possible.
Fifteen minutes a day spent in exer
rise at home should result in muscular
development, and greatly help to re¬
tain health.

The pedagogue has found it profit¬

"’Special Telegram to Minneapolis
-Tribune.—McCleary addressed a large
and enthusiastic Republican meeting
here tonight, delivering what is gen
erally acknowledged to be one of the
strongest contributions to the cam
Palgn in this state. He said in part:
A problem well stated is half solved,
"What is the silver question?” Stated
in its simplest terms it is this: Shall
we or shall we not permit the men
who own silver bullion to carry that
bullion to the mint of the United
States- and have it converted into coin
foe them at the rate of 873.25 grains
of pure silver (or 412.5 grains stand¬
ard silver) to the dollar, and shall the
government authorize them to carry
forth, the coins thus made and use
them according to their pleasure in

^ ye8 . to the man wh0 own8 si5v er,
we say n o. By this statement of the
case it would appear that Uncle Sam
does not treat these two classes of his
citizens equally welt, and the sense
of fairness In the minds of each of us
prompts us, at first glance, to con¬
demn fils course of action. But every
good man and woman is slow to be
iir-ve as true that which reflects upon
the good name of any one whom he or
she has learned to honor. Such a
man or woman feels that his proper
course is to reserve judgment until
all the facts have been ascertained.
We ail respect Uncle Sam; we all be¬
lieve that be would not intentionally
do wrong to anyone. So we are
prompted to believe that there must
be something else in the matter that
hag not yet been stated. And there la.
The man who owns the gold submits
to Uncle Sam this proposition: "Uncle
8am, here are 258 grains of standard
gold, worth $10 coined or uncoined.
Won’t you be kind enough. Uncle Sam,
to certify to this fact? The easiest
way for you to certify to it Is to put
this gold up in the form of a coin
and mark it $10.” To this proposition
Uncle Sam makes answer: "Why,
certainly, my son; i am always glad
to serve any one of my children when
I can do so properly.” The man who
own* the silver desires permission to
submit to Uncle Sam this proposition:
“Uncle Sam. here are 412.5 grains of
standard sliver, worth, in the terms
to which we are accustomed, 40 cents.
Won't you be kind enough. Uncle Sam,
to certify for me that it Is worth 100
cents?” To this proposition Uncle
Sam. promptly makes answer: “Not If
the court knows Itself!” We thus see.
In part at least, why Uncle Sam says
“Yes” to one, and "No” to the other.’ ”
McCleary in all this Is very adroit,
and very liable to deceive the un
thinking. And yet McCleary knows
very well that for 5,000 years gold
and silver stood on an equality,'as to
rlght of coinage, all over She world,
wherever there was civilization. And
he knows that twenty-four years ago
all this wag changed. In this country
the change was made without being
demanded in the platform of any po
litical party, or without any previous
discussion before the people, who are
supposed to constitute the- government
of this republic. And this piece of ras
rally knavery produced the fall of the
price of silver, and McClearv. instead
of demancifrfg that that gigantic wrong
shall he righted, plants himself on the
accomplished results of the wrong and
demands that it shall be perpetual

Flood of Sliver.
Regarding the Rood of silver that
would pour into this country should
bimetallism he adopted, I think that
entitled to less consideration than the
proposition that "gold would instantly
disappear.” They belong to the same
job lot of scarecrows. It will be re¬
membered that Mr, Shurz said that
there would lie a tremendous contrac¬
tion of the currency as a resuit of the
adoption of bimetallism. Other equally
sanguine monotaetallists predict, at
the same time, the rest of the world
would 'dump” its silvei here almost
immediately. Now, silver could be
"dumped” here only in exchange for
something else. If for wheat, cotton,
wool, or manufactured goods, l do not
think, it would be rejected, for our peo¬
ple desire to sell their commodities. If
for gold, then it must take its place,
dollar for dollar, arid if it be a flfty
cent dollar, as Senator Thurston say
it would be, then for every dollar of
gold “driven out” two silver • dollars
would take its place,"Surely little con¬
traction of the currency would take
place at the rate of substituting two
dollars for one. The two notions that
there would be a contraction of the cur
reney and a flood of silver at the same
time are hardly compatible. No nation
can coin and retain more metallic
money than it has profitable use for,
because unless it is needed for business
pm poses and finds profitable employ
ment, it will always float away to other
places where there is a greater demand
for it. Gold or silver money cannot he
piled away above the money level of
other countries and be made to stay
there. It will seek its level just the
same as anything el; e, Though the
mints of the universe might be open
to the coinage of sliver for our use, but
few million dollars more than could
find profitable employment would stay
here. Not a sound political economist
from Adam Smith to the latest writer
can be found to dispute that proposi¬
tion. They are all of the same opinion
as Dr. Wayland, who said of arsy coun¬
try, “If Us trade with other places is
free, the superfluous money will float
away, on the tide of commerce, to some
point where it is needed, just as a sur¬
plus of wheat or cotton goods or any
other commodity must do." If tt can¬
not find profitable employment here as
money it will go to the east, there to
be used for money purposes, or in the
melting pot, to be used in the industrial
arts. You cannot "heap” up gold or
silver in a free country and make tt
stay “heaped,’' any more than you can
“heap” up water and make It stay
“heaped.”
When McKinley Was All Might.
On the 12th of February, 1891, only
a little over seven years ago, Mr. Me
ICinley said;
"During all of Grover
years at the head of the government
he was dishonoring one of our
metals, one of our own great products,
discrediting silver and enhancing
Price of gold. He endeavored even he
fore his inauguration to office to
the coinage of silver dollars and after¬
ward and to the end of his adminis
(ration persistently used his power to
that end. He was determined to con
tract the circulating medium, and to
demonetize one of the coins of com
merce, limit the volume of money
among the people, make money
and therefore dear. He would have in
creased the value of money, and dimln
ished the value of everything else—
money the master, everything else the
servant He was not thinking of "the
poor” then. He had left “their side."
He was not standing forth in their de
fense. Cheap coats, cheap labor and
d«tr money. The sponsor and promot
er of these professing to stand guard
over the welfare of the poor and low
lyI Was there ever more inconsiat
ency or reckless assumption?”
All these things sound very strange
when compared with Mr. McKinley's
utterances since he accepted the noml
nation for president on a gold stand
ard platform, and they seem to justify
sincere peopfe in having but little
faith In the " man '

True Democratic »oe*rin*.

This was the Democratic doctrine of
that period. It was just after the
Democratic party had won its great
and crowning victo.-y in obtaining
mastery of the money power. But the
scene has changed. Now “money is
king." and controls not only the ac

I was able to haul as large loads with
two horses as the Government team¬
sters do’with a four-mule team.
For farm and road work I would
rather have one wide-tired wagon than
two witli narrow tires, for although at
some seasons of the year the wide
tired wagons are lighter draft, it is
usually at the time when one dislikes
to get. out to do any teaming, while
three fourths of the time the wide
tires are the best, at the same time
making good roads, to be used when
roads are usually had.
Stone-Spreading Machines.
Economy of labor and rapidity and
efficiency of work in laying stone for
macadam roads are secured by the
use of » “spreading machine,” This
vehicle somewhat resembles an ordin¬
ary coal wagon, is .high in front and
low behind, with a gradual slope front
front to rear. There is a gate at tits
end which can bo raised and lowered
to control the depth of stohe which is
to bo spread. In operation, the end
of the wagon is lowered until it almost
touches the ground, and then, as tho
team smoothly moves along, the stone flows out
and spreads eveply at the
required chines depth. One of these ma¬
carries two aud one-half
perches of stone and is hauled by two
horses.
CXsJoil Itoads in Egpyt.
Twenty mile years agd there was scarce¬
ly a of good wagon road in all
Egypt, and travel and transportation
had to be afoot, or on muleback or
camdback. In the last six years more
than a thousand miles of fine
roads have been built, and the work is
proceeding at a rate that would warm
the cockles of Boy Stone’s heart.
In Politic*. m
Tho Pigtail
The report that tho immediate
cause of the recent assumption o!
power by the Empress Dowager of
China edict ordering was an officials impending imperial
to do away
with the queue and adopt foreign
dress, x-ecalls the fact, not generally
known, that the custom of wearing the
pigtail is of comparatively recant ditto
in Chinese history. 1 The ancient
Chinese wore their hair long and
bound upon the top of the head; and,
taking pride in its glossy black, called
themselves “the black-haired race.”
Chinese, The pigtail but in its Bfanohu origin method wan not a
a of
dressing the hair, and it has only
been worn in the middle kingdom
since the commencement of the pres¬
ent dynasty. When, ia 1627, Wu San
Kwei, the Chinese Imperial Oom
n'itider-iu-Chief, tendered his forma!
allegiance to the young Mancha
Princes, whom he called in to quell
an insurrection, aud who stayed to
found stipulated a dynasty, one that of the condi¬
tions was tho Chinese
should adopt the national costume of
tho Maachns, including the plaited sign
queue, on penalty of death, as a
of allegiance. The enforced adop¬
tion of the pigtail was the cause of
much friction at first, but it was in¬
sisted upon, and now it is considered
by all alike as one of the most seared
characteristics of “the black-haired”
people, and thus the followed fashion tty began ehojc by
compulsion is now C
ft is, indeed, a strange irony of fata
that th© present Emperor should giva
offense by his attempt at doing away
with a custom which Ms ancestors
had imposed upon the .unwilling
Chinese as a sign of subjection to
their Mcvnohu conquerors.—London

hurt the girl, in this way, for tho
chances are she is giving up a good

man who will do his courting at home,
where, the cost of light falls on p»p».
