BY BILL ARP, Atlan‘a Constitution, What the people want and cught to have are homes and a chance—homes and a living chance, Give a family a home of their own and it Is the best safeguard for the perpetuity of a gov- ernment and the happiness of a peo- ple. I was always sorry for a family who had no home, but had to dodge about from house to house and place to place—no orchard to improve, no flowars to love and nurse, no sacred epot, no castlo, as Blackatono calls it. Idon’t know how othor people prize it, but my home is the dearest spot on earth to me and to my family, Thoro lsno place like homo—not a rented home, forever wanting repairs, but a home to live in and die in, which the boys who have found work afar off can look back to with aff 'n and re- vialt with pure delight, and where the good wife and daughter can plant the vino and rose bush and mow the flower seed. and the orchsrd and the grape vines bring their frul’ in due sepson. It wou't do to say that the poor are too lazy to work and buy land and have a house. They haven’t been tried. They don’t get enough for their labor to lay up anything. They are not encouraged. Vander- bilt and company get all they make over and above a poor living, and Vanderbilt must be protected. The trouble is our people have got hard- ened to fixing a minimum price upon labor, just enough to feed and clothe the lamily stingily with no margin for old age or sicknezs, much lessa house, What does all this mesn that these syndicates are buying up all the land of the great west, 700,000 aores and 00,000 acros in Texas and large tracts In Arkaneas! Why don't the United States government buy it up and save it for homes for our people? The government gove away 160 mil- lions of acres fn Toxas at ouo timo to s woalthy corporation to hire 'em to build @ railroad~ more land than is contained in any four staigs in the Union except Texas, and our states- man made no protest. The monoy is all going tn the hands of a few and so is the land. There is a way to stop all this, but when it {s agitated the rich and powerfal cry out agrarianism and robbery and hire the press and bribe the big men and scare off the little ones, and ro it goes. What we noeed are statesmen, not hirelings. We want fearloss men who can't be tam- pered with, Lot all this surplus wenlth, these bloated fortunes be taxed to support the government. After a man has accumulated $100,000 begln to tax the oxcess, snd the more he accumulates the heavier the rate ; and when it gets up to a milllon take all the excess, If neccesary, to equal- ize in some measure the burdens and the comforts of Iife and provide homes —humble homes—for the people. A man with ten acres and a houze of his own, {8 a good citizen In peace and a tower of strength v his government in time of war. A milllon of dollars is enougn for any one man, He ought mot to hunger and thirst for more, for he can’t need 1t and ft makes w dog of him to hoard ltup. Who hiaa any respect for such men as Vander- bilt, or Gould, or Senator Sharon, or oven for the memory of Stephen Girard or A. T. 8 Nuhmr Homeopath his pollets, Allopatl but for rheumatisn uchos, and spraing, THOMAS' KoLEOTIIO ineffably ulunur to u.um It has No Use to Hurry, Detroit Free Press. I hac often read of the slow speed bat uoticed nothing unusual until feaching Macon, The train pulled out at aboat s an hour, slowed down to tw ©, the waits were long and tedloul, Some of the crowd didn't seem to care if wo never got there, but the drammer for & Philadelphfs houso took on terribly, Ho was blasting away when the conductor came along and inquired what ailed him Wiy, I'll be left!” hotly exclalmed the drammer “Lot's see! You go to Thomas villet” “Yes, sir,” “You change cars at Smithviile?” “I ought to, but the train will be gone.” “Not a bit of it. That train 1s two ¢ | hours behind time,” “Well, I'd rather wait In Smitk ville. " “Yeu couldn't wait In that town two hours without belng asked to drink some of the worst whisky ever made, and If you refused you'd have to fight."” “I could go to the hotel,"” ‘‘I'hen you'd have to walk & mile in the sand, No 'bne comes down untll oar trafn whistles."” “I might drum up a eustomer,” ‘‘You conld drum nothing. The Iast Northern drummer in Smithville had to fly for hia life.” “Conldn’t T wait on the platform!” “‘No, slr. There Is not platform to wait on, and If thore was, you'd be suspocted of wanting to start a tar- pentine fire." ““Well, it's awfal slow.” ‘‘What of it? The other train is still slower; no dinner oan bo had un til wo get there; there is nothing to #eo; the depot won't be open; you can't sell a paper of pin {n the town; you oan't get on to Thomasville; no one in town plays poker; you can't tind a do cent clgar there, and from what 1 know of Smithville I oaa assure yon that it hae at least thirty citizens who would take a pop at you on general principles within slx minutes of your landing there,” Soon after our speed was roduced to ten miles an hour, but the drum y. mer had nothing to From Cleveland, Ohio, Comes a letter signed T. Walkor, saying: “About six months ago T commenced tak- ng Burdock Blood Bitters for protracted caso of lumbago and general debility, and now ‘am pleased to state have recovered my appetite and wnnlbd strength, Feel better altogethor.” Return of the Wanderer, Tho mining town of Bunko had fifty shantics, 100 tonts, 600 population and 599 men who drank whisky, played old sledgoe and carried knives and re- volvera and atabbed and peppered each other on the slightest provocation, The one man who didn't drink was a sllm, eadaverous, hungry-looking man whom the boys had elected for Juatico of the Peace, Police Justlce, Chiof of Police, Chief Fugleman at Fanerals, Buperintendent of Hospltals aud Prin- clpal of Public Schools. He had all he could do to carry around his load of dignity. Had he added one drink of whisky to his bur. den he would have been crushed to death, One afternoon it became the paln- ful duty of the man of many honors to rocce({ to the shanty oocupled by Wicked Jim, ot Arkansas, and to re- mark to that individual: “‘James, it s the sentiment of thia ‘ere enterprising Town of Bunko that you git up and git.” “Kin you bsck them remarks?” calmly inquired the Wicked, as he turned over in bed. “I reckon!” whispered thoJudge, as he brought two ““Colts” to bear on the lemon-shapod head not ten feet away. Wicked Jim surveyed the situation withoat a wink, and after the lapse of voventy saconds ho placidly remarkod: “Nuff ced—T'll git.” “When?” *‘Soon as T kin pack.” “That'll dew, James,” obsorved the judgo, and ho eased down the ham- mers of his revolvers and went away to select a site for a college. Wicked Jim betrayed no partioular emotion as he went about hls work packing up, and at the end of an hour, when he rode his mule out upon the Campus Mertins, with. all his traps made fast to the saddle, no ono onu!u have suspected the Vesuvius raging his heart. A crowd had gathere tu 800 him off. “‘Gientlemon,” sald the Wicked as ho bowed to the right and left, “'I splt upon your town of Bunko. Ikin bulld a better oue of sand and grease! It afn't a fit town fur an aristocrat like me, and I've allas knowed 1t!" At this point threo or four indi- viduals on the outskirts of the crowd began shooting, but the Wicked took no notice of the fact as he con- tinued: ““The lion can’t partner with the jockal! The eagle can’t mate with the uzzard! Blinks, sluggers, curs and reptiles, I go!” Here the shooting increased one- half, and one of the bullets passed through the Wicked's hat as he raloed it and continued: “But I will retarn, and when I do look out for oceans of gore? In loas 'n a yeur I'll dump your town Into the river and hold the slte fur a private gravegard, Whoop! Yip—yl!— whoop!"’ The Wicked held twe shooters on the orowd as he galloped off, and the result was two men killod and three wounded. A hundred bullets whizzed around the fugitive, but he tarned the bend withont having received a scratch, Twelve months had passed away. It was evening when five horsemen rod slowly into Bunko, Wlcked James rode at the head of the pro- cession, He had come to. fulfill hls promise, and there was blood in his eye, “‘How's this 'erel” querled the Wicked ae the band reachad the brow of the hill and looked down upon the town, Gne lamps were burning In every direstion! The procession moved down to the spot where the Red Eye Salcon had stood a year before, and again the Wicked uttored a growl of surprise, The salvon had dleappeared, and In {ta place stood a solld briok bullding bearing the sign: ‘‘Maunfactarors’ bank,"” Tho processlon moved down to the | - uoxt corner over a freshly laid pave. went, In place of “The Can-Can Dive” was a fine opera houss, and across the streot was a great hotel, Litke men who walk on the steep roof of & house, the procession moved down to the public square, This was \hb spot from which the Wicked had en his departure a year ago, No, can'tbs! Here are blocks of stores, a street car line, a market house, an other hotel, a railroad tloket office, a police station and a public museum! The Wicked rubbed his eyes like & man who has slept too long, and he looked this way and that in dumb amuzement. By and by he ssii: “Boys, lot's gin one old-fashionoed yell and break this mirage.” They yelled in chorus, The echo nad nov yet dled away when men wearing uniform and silyer utars suddenly appesred as if rising from the earth, The Wicked and his companions were pulled from their saddies and hustled across the equare into prison cells, and while yet they soemed to bestruggliug in the embracs of some terrible dream they were brought foto court and heard the ob servation from a grave and digoified )ud%’v L cannot tolerate such conduct in & peacefal, THE OTTAWA CYLINDER CORN SHELLER, SHUGART IMPLEMENT ( Baoko The rentence of the court 1s ulnety daya in the workhouse for each one of you!” Frand Tens of thousauds of dollars are squand. ored yeatly on traveling quacks, who go from town to town professing to cure all the 1lls that our poor humanity is heir to, Why will the public not iesrn mon sense, and if they are muffering f pepeinor liver complaint, invest a dollar in SrRING BLossos, sold by all_druggists and endorsed by the faculty.
