A Loyer's Strategem.

A young counirymau who had long loved a girl who lived a mile or two from him was nearly in despair about winning her hand, says the Americus (Ga.) Repabliea'l, and was on the eve of selling out and leaving the country, as the girl had refused him three limes snd it was out that she was engaged 10 another fellow. Our hero had noticed that his rival and the girl would walk in an old meadow field nearly every afternoon, and he grew madly jealous In his cattle he had a young bull that was always mad with every thing but his master because he was an especial pet Now Dave, as he called the bull, was to be the object with which to satiate his revenge. He would turn him into the meadow, hide himself. and see his rival tossed like foot ball So one afternoon, dog, he repaired to the meadow, let the fence down and turned the bull in. He then stroll cd of, and walked around as miserable as a man could be who was committing an evil deed An hour or so later he heard the deep mutterings of the bull, and he bastening to the meadow fence he saw Dave about twenty five yards from the couple, paving dirt and shaking his head, The man was trying to get the girl to run, but she WAS so terrified she could not move. The bull made dash and the fellow ran shrieking for the fence. The bull rushed on after the shrieking fellew, while onr disconsolate young man, having jumped the fence rushed to the girl as the bull dashed on after the fugitive rival and catching her in his arms, told her such a coward was unworthy of her. As Dave saw his young master he left oil pursuing the other man, returned and went to licking bis hand, while the indignant girl vowed she would never speak to man who was afraid of a cow She soon afterward married Dave { hoss

Thurman and Elisha

Thurman is full of years. A grand and honorable career Is drawing to its close. Called again to the service of the people in whose behalf he has labored nearly all his life and for whom he may die in the harness, opponents less discreet than sealous mock and deride him because his years are ripe and the hand of time Is upon him.
 Let them have a care
 me m.~utie Of Elijah, the terrible, fell upon Elisha, son of Shsphat of Abel-Meholah. Taken from the blow, Elisha filled the pro pnetic office for nearly sixty years When Elijah went up into heaven In the fiery char lot drawn by horses of fire Elisha passed on 70 the work that still lay before him In Israel. He had healed the waters of Jericho.
 And Ne went np thehco to Bethel and as he was and m0cked him. saying: 's6o up thou bald head; % ppt thou bald beaiP
 the name oi the Lord and there came forth two ecar- oat Of the forest and lore of them two-and-
 And from thence he went 10 Mount Carmel and From thence he returned Co Samaria
 Now, Thurman's head Is not bald, nor is it known that Elisha's poll was nude. After the manner of a modern monk he may have worn bis hair close cropped, but to the lads of Bethel the prophet of the Lord was not ven- erable. and curses lighting on them they were torn by wild beasts Let the modern scorners of Thurman's whiteninc hairs these nineteenth century Sons Of Bethel and of Beal, take warning.
 The woods are fuIl of prohibition bears, and when these will have fed upon the scoffers the venerable Thurman, like Elisha, God beloved, in old Judea, will go upon his way, from Columbus 10 Washington. - Chicago Times

The main objection urged against Thur mans candidacy is the fact that he Is 75 years old.

Thurman and the Pacincs.

The scene in the senate of the United States when Thurman, by the sheer force of his rugged honesty, compelled the passage of his refunding bill is one of the most memorable in the history of that bodY The manipnla- tors of the subsidized railroads, chief of which were the Central and Union Pacific, had not permitted their corporations to make any preparatiuns whatever for the payment of their obligations to inc United States. Four teen years had passed and the only credits Inc government could give them for the subven- tion. which, principal aud interest now amounts 10 more than Sl00, On0, 000, grew out of the transportation of troops and supplies. Yet the projectors of the roads, or their sue eessors in control and management, were building gigantic fortunes from the proper ties The companies had the audaeity 10 as k of congress that certain barren and unstable lands granted the roads should be bought by the government for price Under the man agement of persuasive lobby such measure WAS likely to be carried. Thurman called q halt. "Debtors of the United states you must arrange to pay your obligations" said Thurman: "lear by year there must he set aside from your earnings and paid into the treasury of the United States sum that with accruing interest shall make the government whole when the subyention bonds mature" This was revolution.

s.IIe Stands WeII.,i

MT. George W. Childs' paper, the Philatel- phia Public Ledger is republican in politics, and, like most Pennsylvania journals, is strongly In favor of the protective roIIcv. But unlike the o.aiuary party organ, 1t can see the sood in political adversary, and is aot afraid to commend what is worthy of eommendation. Speaking of President CeYe. lands renomination 1t saysl
 "Wbether Mir. Cleveland shall get a ma jority of electoral votes again or not, no well. informed, sensible person can fall to see that he stands well in the favcr of the American people. That i5 visible wherever be goes. The very political managers who have found 1t advisable to accept him as the nominee of their party organization deride his refusal to accept their spells system doctrine, and mock and scof at him for his eiforts to cat rS a better system into effect They accept him, therefore, not because of any fixing for his views upon the true system of administrating the government as q trust but because he has Increased in favor with the people and grown upon their good will. While the lead CTS take him again, they don't take to him yet. Then the people of his party have in their candidate now four years of acquired experience. He knew but little Of federal affairs in 1884; he knows great deal in 1888. He was but slightly acquainted with the country and it's public men outside of New York four years agot he has large acQuaint- snce now. If ne should be reelected he will be far better equipped federal executive in March, 1889, than he was in March, 1885.

THE FARMERS UNION.


Brothers and sisters of the Crescent Union,
II you will bear with me, will offer a few
thoughts on this, our glorious organization,
the Farmers Union The first thing would
urge, is union in all things pertaining to our
interest is to let the majority rule hoping that
the majority be wiser than the few, which
demonstrates the full meaning OF our order;
equal justice to all and special favOrs to
none, This should be our motto: "TO let
others alone and attend strictly to our own
affairs" By doing this we will dspel pTeiu-
dice and therefor gain the confidence Of the
outside world. Another very important
matter is regularly attendance. Brethren,
don't let every little thing keep you away;
meet regular, attend, II possible, every meet
ing and lend your strength to help 10 eXtri-
cate ourselves from the bondage we have so
long borne. Now, that the cloud has begun
to roll back, lay to and hOlp TO keep the tide
in motion, and our sky will become Cloudless
much improved that we will look with
wonder and exClaim, like the man that got
whipped, "Wbo would have thought itPh
Remember the past and falteT not, but look
with renewed hope to the future and take
courage and give the grand old Union wheel
more vigorous turn. Remember, not
twelve months ago, we were paying from %
to buy, now we pay from TO 10 per cent
What has brought about this changer We
have the same merchants we had before
The answer is the grand aud glorious
Farmers Union. Let us make q united
effort to reach the goal which is In sight, and
the victory almost won. All that Is required
of us is united action on our part. The time
is also at hand when we will not be com
PEELED to buy on credit, but will be able to
pay cash, thereby securing the lowest rate
Of prOat. We need cooperative store, and
believe that can be accomplished without
much trouble provided that all look at 1t in
the same light, and have that confidence 10
each other that we should have In order to
accomplish our aim. II you take the trouble
to make the calculation you will find that
the amount saved through our trade with
the Uni IN will start the cooperative store.
Just let the Crescent Union count what they
have saved since We got our chartered
meTch ant, and then count the still further
amount saved by running our own store, and
that will show you the Importance of sub
scnbing at once to the cooperative store
Next would urge the Importance Of grow
ing all we consume at home, or at least all
that can be grown In this country; that
every one buy as little as possible In order to
gain our liberty. Hoping l have thrown
some light on the subject, will now leave
the matter for your consideration.
