men who might have been called, "the
best democrats that ever lived" whether
or not he WIS "the worst republican"
Two year, later than that period-ln
1864 he was again associated with dem
ocmts ON state ticket and he himself
was begging for the complete support Of
those who voted for George B. Mcclellan
for president
In the second race that Ingalls, made
for the United States Senate, on the final
ballot in the fourth days struggle, he re-
ceived SG out Of lO0 votes one more than
WIS necessary for him to obtain-and Of
those SO votes ~ came from republicans,
seven from democrats and seven from
greenbackers.
In his third race for the senate, he re-
ceived the vote Of two democratic state
senator's and his great notorious hench-
man, William j. Bucham, now his chair
man Of the Kansas republican state cen
tral committee, most pitlfully besought
the support Of Hon. WI. Lngenfeltery

THE ALLIANCE AND THE PEOPLES
PARTY.

III We understand the situation cor
teCtly Il is az follows: In looking
over the field in this state it was dis
covered that there were several iso-
lated organizations practically de-
maRding the same political reforms
and the same changes in government
tal policy. There we're the Alliance,
the Grange, the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association and the Knights
of Labor These were all divided on
Che old party lines, and voting square
ly against each other for the republi-
can and democratic tickets, and get
ting absolutely nothing in response
TO their demands from either party.
Il was clearly seen by all these or
ganizations that a continuance Of this
course would be suicidal to all labor
interests. It was seen that while the
industrial classes we're casting the
ballots that were elevating men to
official positions, those same men
we're using their positions in the in
terest Of corporations, bondholders
and capitalists. These things were
80 apparent, and continuance of this
policy 80 conclusively demonstrated
want Of political sagacity, that these
different organizations began to con-
suit with each other concerning some
plan by which they could all vote
together. The result of these con-
situations was an agreement for the
organization of a new party, so that
all members Of all the orders might
unite upon common platform in the
support Of men and measures in the
interest of the masses Of the people.
BY a union Of all these hitherto iso-
lated elements the peoples party was
organized. It's platform embraces
the essence Of the reforms which each
and all have separately demanded,
and which have been hopelessly
sought,to be obtained through peti-
tiOns TO Congress and to delegations
composed Of politicians in the old
parties.
The peoples party is no more an
alliance party than it is a knights of
Labor party, f. M. B. A. party or a
grange party, for all participated by
their several delegations in it's organ
ization. Each Of these orders is rep
resented on the ticket and each is
giving it support. Necessarily there
is more or less connection of the party
with all Of the organizations at the
present time The short time during
which the party organization had to
be effected rendered it impossible to
perfect it in all its details, and hence
the machinery Of the several orders
that are supporting the party Is nee
essarily utilized in places where the
party organization would have been
made to serve the same purposes had
there been time to perfect it in its de-
tails. Taking into account all the
circumstances We consider that the
work done has been marvellous in it's

A Whistling Tree.
BILL NYE.

The musical or whistling tree is
found in the West Indian Islands, in
Nubia and the Soudan. 1t has pc
culiar shaped leaf, and pods with
split or open edge. The wind pass
ing through the leaves gives out the
sound which gives the tree its peculiar
name. In Barbados there is valley
filled with these trees, and when the
trade winds blow across the island
constant moaning, deep toned whistle
is heard from il, which in the still
hours OF the night, has a very weird
and unpleasant effect.
A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Soudan, IL
also called the 'whistling tree" by
the natives. It's shoots are frequent
", by the agency Of the larvs OF in
sects. distorted in shape and swollen
into a globular bladder, from one TO
two inches in diameter. After the in
sect has emerged from a circular hole
in the side Of this swelling, the open
ing, played upon by the wind, be
comes a musical instrument, equal In
sound TO a sweettoned flute.

Ella W. n. T., the poem you alluded
to closes with the following stanza:
used to dream in all these years,
OF patient faith and silent tears,
That loves strong hand would put aside
The barriers OF place and pride
Would reach the pathless darkness through,
And draw me softly up to you.
But that Is past-if you should stray
Beside my grave. some future day.
Perchance the violets DER my dust
Would half betray their burial trust,
And say, their blue eyes full ofdew.
She loved you better than you knew.

TRUST.

Though tangled hard life's knot may be.
And wearily we rue II,
The silent touch of Father Time
Some day will sure undo It,
Then, darling, wait,
Nothing is late
In the light that shines forever.
We faint at heart, friend is gone,
We chafe at the worlds harsh drilling;
We tremble at sorrows on every day
At the myriad way OF killing.
Yet. say we all,
ia sparrow fall,
The Lord keepeth count forever.
He keepeth count. We come, we go,
We speculate, toll and falter;
But the me easure to each of veal and woe,
God only can give or alter.
He sendeth light,
He sendeth night,
And change goes on forever.
Why not take life with a cheerful trust,
With faith In the strength OF weakness,
The tenderest daisy rears its head
With courage, yet with meekness.
sunny face
Hath holy grace,
To WOO the sun forever
Forever and ever, my darling, yes,
Goodness and love are undying;
Only the troubles and cares OF earth
Are winged from the first for flying.
Our way we plow
In the furrow Now
But after the tilling and growing, the shear
Soil for the root, but the sun for the leaf,
And God keepeth watch forever.

A New York woman attended the
theatre in that city the other night.
and sat In the third row Of orchestra
chairs. Suddenly there was coin
motion in the third row Of chairs
from the orchestra. Gentlemen hur-
riedly vacated their seats, all except
one, who evidently was a physician.
Ladies in the fourth and second rows,
directly behind and In front OF the
seats referred to, stood upon the
seats, forming sort OF screen.

Cure For the Suicidal Mania.

DR.. Cushing, retired physician,
gives some interesting facts about
suicides.
''Not once in hundred times" said
he, ''do either men or women kill
themselves while in the presence of
another person. The tendency of the
suicidal mania is always toward soli-
tude. That is why, in all the asylums
of the land, people who have dispo-
sition to kill themselves are always kept
together and there is no danger then"
Another remarkable fact is" add
ed another physician, who joined in
the conversation, ''that people who at
tempt suicide and fail, are almost
afraid to die. When l was young
doctor in a hospital, we used to some
times play pranks on men brought in
who had a tendency to kill themselves.
| recall very interesting case which
happened not long ago. A man was
carried into the institution who had
attempted twice in one day to commit
suicide.
'tLet us see,n said I to another
physician, 'how badly this man wants
to die
Il handed him harmless mixture,
of which he gave the man a good dose.

Grave of an African Queen.

Hester Cora Mitchell, as she was
known there after becoming the slave
of ex-Gov. Mitchell, is buried in the
cemetery in this city. She was queen
of some African tribe, and came to this
country voluntarily, bringing with her
all insignia of her royalty-crown and
robes and jewels, &c. She was pleased
with this country, and resolved to lay
down her robes of royalty and become
a slave, as above stated. Every Christ
mas until her death, she would appear
before the negroes in all the gorgeous
ness of her queenly paraphernalia.
After this exhibition, she would retire,
lay aside her quccnly attire, and GO
into the kitchen as humbly as any of
the other servants of Gov. Mitchell.
When Hester Cora died Gov. Mitchell
had her buried in her regalia.
