It was lien Duller who fixed on Simset Cox the name of '-Shoo Fly." Now comes a southern democrat longing for fame and calls (irover Cleveland "The lieücose IJoomcrang of nuzzurd'sliuy.' Now that the supreme court of Illinois has knocked the legitimacy of the Whiskey Trust into smithereens, it would be an almighty good thing if the same thing would try its hand on the standard Oil and Sugar Trusts. Somi: of the democratic papers are shouting, ovtr the prospects of a rupture of the republican party. The principal cause for rejoicing is caused by the call for a silver convention in Kansas, by republicans in that State. One of our exchanges says: "The g. o. p. finds itself between the devil and the deepsea' It looks to us as though the democratic party had about as mach as they can attend to along this line, and more pronounced. Tm: true object of elucatiou is to stimulate the mind to act for itself in a practical direction, and free education endeavors to place in reach of everyone the means of self improvement and the acquirement f useful knowledge. Free education makes no distinction of persons or classes, the child of the pauper is as much entitled to that education which will hi him fc-r life and for self care as the chial of the millionaire. The free education is the grout leveler which the laws of the country provide for.

Tin-: oM time opposition to the employment of wollten in such advocations as their ability and their physical strength allows, lias nearly passed away during the past few years. In the rapid advance of civilization, intelligence and the higher and more practical education, there has been a growing tendency among bright and independent women to prepare themselves for active duty in the various professions. That women aie especially littcd by nature and sympathy for the medical profession must be conceded. The number of women of the best classes who prefer the advice and care in sickness of women physicians is rapidly increasing. There is no superiority necessarily following the fact of sex in any cailing where mental qualifications and experience are the requisites. A man is not necessarily a better physician, with better insight and more useful experience, because he id a man, to minister care fully and sympathetically and judicious ly to a sick child or an invalid woman. The same rule applies to many other professions and pursuits of life which now being sought out and occupied by the enterprising young women of this laud. Tiik Republican National League closed its labors at Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday. The convention, while to all appearances was harmonious, yet an un der current was felt, that, if brought out, would have caused one of the most exciting times ever witnessed at a gath ering of political men. This was all duo to the position taken by the silver delegates. The convention failed, to express by resolutions, or otherwise, principels or policies to bo adhered to by the national republican convention

in 18, and it must be acknowledged the cool-headed politicians prevented a stormy session. While the silver delegates claim it was a pronounced victory for them, and there is not the slightest doubt it was, it gives the republican party ample time to learn just what position to assume in the next campaign. There is not the slightest doubt, that if the convention had declared itself antagonistic to the free coinage of silver, the silver delegates would have left the convention to either alliliate with the populist party, or a new political organization would have been formed, the latter movement the most likely. Under the circumstances, a campaign of education is on, and the possibility of the national convention, giving some pronounced encouragement to the silver wing, now becomes more feasible.

Onward March. While the mon jmetallists continue to ridicule tiiose who are in favor of the ; free coinage of silver, and their leaders tell the people that the voters of this country, after reading the foolish and j illogical works penned by Harvey and his co-workers, are falling over each other to worship at the shrine of the "golden calf yet we see hundreds of instances, where in those who have been pronounced single standard men, have changed their views and entered the fast increasing army of liimetallists. In the Chicago Record of June lth, we read the following from the pen of lie v. 1). F. Phillips: "I was a long time making up my mind before sending in my vote. This silver question has been to me a most perplexing one. I wanted to read up on the question. 1 have a scrap-book at home, m which excerpts from The Kecord and other matter have been pasted, and they have-helped me more effectually than any book published on this vexatious subject. For years I did my share in ridiculing the free-silver advocates. Ever since the debate between Messrs. Harvey and Laughlin I have made a special study of the subject. I had hoped that Prof. Laughlin would pulverize Harvey and his arguments into the finest powder. I was greatly disappointed in the professor, while Mr. Harvey not only astonished me with his argumentative presentations but succeeded also in knocking out what prejudices I had against the 'free-silver craze.' My conversion to bimetallism dates from that memorable night I have careful iy and studiously read ever since on both sides of the controversy, and I am satisfied now that free silver has the best of the argument."' Of course our gold bug friends will say that this preacher, like all the rest j of those in favor of the free coinage of silver, me cranks and fools, but still the march of iir.anci.i'edi'.c itior. rucs march-1 - . , , t, . - ing on, and ere the call to "lad m re-1 i sounus inrougn ine gieai uomains ol the United Slates in 1 ', a gigantic hojt ia favor of the free coinage of silver will fate the fast thinning ranks of the single standard advocates, that will eaiie tlrtni to irr;j in wonder. Urdus b Legislation. On whale ver lines the political campaign of next year opens up, one thing is certain, the great questions pertaining to tie; rights and the interests of the laboring classes will have a prominent place. The proper relation of capital to labor will a' ways be an issue hereafter until affairs are so arranged that equality of rights are fully maintained. The industrial clashes of the country have got tired of being put off with the smooth theories and platitudes of polit ical economists whose so-called philos ophy and science always fail when put to practical use. The theory has seemed to be heretofore that capital must lirst be placated no matter what becomes of labor. The theory has always proved futile, because it places wealth in the foreground and man subservient. Ian has got to be placed first in any plan for true equity and harmony before prac tical effects can be worked out. The results of promoting capital and wealth are the combinations of labor against capital. Legislature has nearly always favored monopoly, great corporations and consolidated wealth. The greatest political scandals of our history have grown out of the use of money to secure favorable legislation for great trusts, like the Credit Mobelier, or the coal oil and sugar trusts. It is freely acknowledged even by the leaders of the laboring classes that much of the fault for this state of affairs lies with themselves, because they havo allowed themselves to be duped into the support of those men who are purchasable as the tools of the very monopolies which should be antagonized. But the fact remains that the condition of the working classes in this country is not what it should be. The price of their labor is not fixed by the law of supply and demand, but by the combinations of capital and by tyrannous monopolies. Labor is growing wise i n the midst of restive discontent. It is an issue which will not down and cannot be put aside, no matter what the contest may be on the tariff question or the coinago muddle. Neither can the honest convictions of intelligent men of, the labor-

ing classes be quelled by the cry of socialism. There is not a whit more socialismin the combination of labor for its own protection than there is in the combination of capital to increase its profits, and the charge of socialism is as much of an insult to the laboring classes as it would be to capitalists. In either case the combination is but an independent assertion of their rights. Labor has been long suffering and patient, but it has discovered that the surest way to secure a betterment of their condition and the assurance of their rights is by thorough organization and persistent political effort. Neither of the great parties can set aside or ignore this powerful element in the coming campaign.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The very cheapest thing in this country to-daj is the newspaper, whether daily or weekly. There is nothing fur nished the reople, be it either a neces git or a ,u which js furnishwl to consumers at so little profit on its lirst cost. The only trouble is that they are so cheap that people do not rightly discrimmate bet wet n those which are really valuable and those which are of but little worth. An exchange says: ''When the breezy blooming bloomers are universally the go, how will tailors press the creases in them, I should like to know? When the baby's head is nodding and it wants to lake a nap, how can mama lull her darling in a bifurcated lap V How can JJridget shoo the chickens with no skirt to Hop and Hing, when the creatures go a grubbing in the garden in the spring? Hut the question most annoying that our speculations catch, can she vie with men in action when she goes to scratch a match V" "Double X Hand" is a title of the past. It formerly served as a name for one of Elkhart's fine musical organizaation. The organization has undergone material changes during the week, and is now known as Carpenter's Premium liand and Orchestra.. The liand is composed of seventeen thorough musicians, a new addition being a saxaphone player in the person of Charles Daylor, of riymouth. Elkhart can now boast of two superior musical organizations which can compete with any talent in the state. Truth. The child of Mr and Mrs. W. Suit had a very narrow escape from what might have been a severe wound. Mrs. Suit and child were visiting a neighbor, who who is the owner of a dog, which is kept tied in the yard. Upon the appearence of the child, the dog became excited. The owner of the dog to-.-k the ! child in his ar:n.;, p-itted the dog on the head, but just a all thought they were ,. . A. .
