Experience has taught u that in the great plain people is our country's sure hope in time of need, and salvation Irom peril must he wrought out by their loyal faith and willing sacrifices 3. \Y T e recognize in these times of unrest the netd of appealing to the higher nature ol men that they may seal anew their beliel in the ho liness ofßelf~sv.crifi< e and the mean ness of greed, and thus he readv to gtv just condemnation to whomso ever maketh selfish spoil of the sub eta nee ol the people, 4. Many reforms are netded, and we ask for legislation and enforce ment ot law to bring them about, an 1 we demand the passage of these measures not in ihe name of any narty, but in the name of justice, in the name ol the people. 5. We ire io favor of the free coinage of silver equally with gold, and we demand tint the govern ment shall issue all money (’irvet t<> the people, thus placing our circu lating medium bevon 1 the control or influence of corporate or private i apitiil.

That we demand such legisla ‘ion in regard to the liquor traffic as will prevent that business from in creasing our taxes, endangering the morals of our children and destroy iog the usefulness of our citizens. 8 That we believe in the amending the Public School S.stem that the education of our children shall Do n practical help to them in after life. Our country needs an educational system based on moral, manual aud intellectua..training, that inculcates the eP3ei.iial dignity at and of honest labor, to tvirn the drift which is inevitably toward the almshouse and prison, into chanels ol independent and selfreliant cit izenship, 9.

The Courtesy Women Expect, The Latest Beauty Device- How the Arabs Do Their Courting. “There &r 9 two occasions upon which I never will recognize a gentleman, not even my husband, ” said a well-known society woman the other day*. “If he is sitting on a street corner to have his shoes blacked he might bow at me till the crack of doom, but I would not recognize him. Or if he was coming out of a saloon. ” “Did you ever have a man to greet you in the street without lifting his hat?” asked a friend. “Once or twice, but I never recognized that individual again. One of the best known clergymen in New Orleans makes a habit of not raising his hat to some ladies lie knows. He would not feel flattered if ho could hear the com ments that are made on his boorish manners. ” “Perhaps he forgets,” said a man who was ready to defend his sex. “That is no excuse. 1 would not expect an armless man to lift his hat to one in the street, but nothing less could excuse him. A gentleman has no business to for get at least the appearancp of good breeding. A woman foils a man has treated her with almost famil iar contempt who does not lift his hat when speaking to her, and if she has any spunk at all she will never bow to him again.’ Engaged Couples in France. After a girl has passed her eighteenth birthday she is thought to be une demoiselle a marier, but it is considered bad taste for the parents themselves to make any effort to achieve a daughter’s marriage. Young men, except iu the country, where far greater liberty is allowed, are seldom asked to visit a family where there are grown up daughters and, un less under rare circumstances, are never asked to come to lunch or dinner. On no account would a French mother allow her daughter to speak to a man of known bad character or obviously unfit to be come her husband. Marriage is an ever present possibility in France where young people are concerned, and, as may be easily imagined, this has both its advan tages and disadvantages. None of these rules apply to near rela tions. Abroad families see a great deal of one another and cousins hardly ever develop into husbands, probably because they are allowed to see so much of their young cousins. Baldness an Accident of Birth. “ Baldness,” says a physician, “is an accident of birth. A man is not bald because he is prema turely pious or preternaturally wicked, but because lie had the misfortune to be born in a cold country, and so was endowed with finer hair and a more refined or ganism than if he had first seen the light in a warmer clime. Baldheaded persons should rather be pitied, therefore, than despised. They may even be looked upon as more delicately constituted, more spiritual and more ethereal than their well thatched fellows.” He Put His Foot in His Mouth. Vicar (who lias a habit of 'say ing “ Quite so” during conversa tion) calls upon the Bishop about some parish grievance. The Bish op during the interview tells the vicar how he (the Bishop) is being treated. “The fact is, Mr. Smith, many people seem to think I’m a perfect ass. ” Vicar (consolingly)—Quite so, My Lord, quite so.” To Live Like an East Indian. Lucy Booth, Gen. Booth’s youngest daughter, is about to go to India to be at the head of the work among the women of that dark land. Like all the women of the Salvation Army in India, she will go among the native women in their own costume and live k? the same mode as they do. Locomotives.
