FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
THREE LITTLE BOYS.

Three little boys In rollicklng mood
Out in the snow at play;
Their hearts are light, for the sun is bright,
On this glorious winter day.
Three little boys with shouts Of glee
Slide down snowy hill,
And the names of the rollicking little boy:
Are 81 Can't" ~ Won't" and ~ Will"
But play must cease, and a warning voice
Calls out from the open door:
"Come, boys, here's task for your nimble
hands,
We must have 1t done by four"
"IWill" speeds away at the mothers COM
With cheerful and sunny face,
And II Cant' follows on with murmur and
groan
At a weary and tagging pace.
But 81 Won't' with dark and angry frown
Goes sauntering down the street,
And sullenly idles the time away
Till he thinks the task complete.
At school, 81 VIII" learns his lessons well,
And is seldom absent or late;
81 Can't" finds the lessons all too hard,
81 Won't' hates books and slate.
So the seasons come and the seasons go,
In their never ceasng race,
And each little boy, now a stalwart man,
In the busy world finds his place,
~ WILL" with courage undaunted, tolls,
And with high and resolute aim,
And the world is better because he lives,
And he gains both honor and fame.
~ Can't' finds life an up hill road;
He faints in adversely,
And spends his life unloved and unknown,
In hopeless poverty.
II Won't" opposes all objects and plans,
And SCOTS at what others have wrought
And so in his selfish idleness wrapped.
He dies and is soon forgot.
Mary Miller Mckinney, in Housekeeper.

A Widespread Influence,

The influence of the great Labor con.
gress which met in st. Louis has been tru.
ly wonderful. 1t has infused new life and
hope throughout the whole body of the
people. On every hand courage is re-
turning and the lines are forming for a
great and decisive struggle for industrial
emancipation. The various organiza-
tons among producers and laboring peo-
pie are doing marvellous work. The
farmers and Knights know what they
want, and it is evident they intend to
help themselves. The Nation is APP
preaching a new era. All hail to the
sturdy, honest men who are helping to
usher it in.-Iowa Tribune.

COrruptiOn i'm Switzerland,

A great cutlery has been raised in the
Swiss Canton Tessin against the preva-
lence there of bribery at elections. The
political workers are constantly racking
their brains to devise new means of buy
ing votes. The mayor of small city
near Locarno recently for reelection,
invited every one who would promise to
vote for him to eat and drink at his ex-
pense for three months at certain specie
fed taverns, The success of his plan is
shown by the fact that he was reelected
and that his bills at the taverns in ques'
ton amounted to $4,000 francs. Votes
bought in the old-fashioned way cost
from 20 cents to IS each. Even the
clergy are said to bride electors right and
left Paris Gaulois.

A Suggestion.

TheWestern Rural offers the suggestion
that convention made up of delegates
from the Grange, Alliance Northern
and Southern), Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association, Patrons of Industry, farm
ers' clubs and all farmers organizations
of like character, shall be held in Chi
cago during the present winter with a
view of forming complete federation
of the societies, which, it claims, would
be a mighty power for good if accom-
plished. The agitation of the question
is promised and an interchange of opin-
ion urged.

A POLITICAL STORM.
The st. Louis Confederation Raises Hob
I'm Alabama.

The st. Louis confederation RAISES HOD
in Alabama.
The action of the National Farmers
Alliance in adopting confederation
platform with the Knights of Labor, at
the recent convention in st. Louis, has
caused a political storm cloud to rise in
Alabama. Several paragraphs in the
platform are Objectionable to the AL
lance men in that State, and particu-
larry to the Democratic party. The
paragraph which expresses determine
ton to elect men to Office who can be
depended on to stand by the interests of
the order, regardless of party caucus,
has led the farmers, who are nearly all
Democrats, to fear that an Independent
political party may be organized and the
solid ranks of the Democracy broken and
disrupted. Several Alliances in the State
have adopted resolutions denouncing
the platform put forth by the st. Louis
convention, as undemocratic and dan
gerous, and it is openly charged that the
delegates from Alabama did not repre-
sent the opinion and interests of the
people or the Alliance in Alabama.
Many farmers are openly opposed to
mixing the Alliance with politics and
very few of them will be led into any
movement which would threaten the
Democratic party and divide the people.
Hon. r. +. Kolb, State Agricultural
Commissioner, is candidate for Gov
ernor and prominent member of the
Alliance, and it has been publicly
charged that he is using the Alliance
organization for his own political ad
vaucement 1t is evident that polite:
will be exceedingly interesting from
now until the State election.

Touch Not, Handle Not the Trusts Jute
Bagging.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the Charleston (Ga.) Alliance at
recent meeting:
WHEREAS, One of the foundation prlnci.
pies OF the Alliance is opposition to trusts
and monopolies, which have for their object
the oppression and robbery of the people
under the guise of law; and,
WHEREAS, The Jute Trust has shown itself
one OF the most greedy and defiant of these
organizations, striving to extort enormous
gain from the hard earnings of the farmer,
regardless of every thing but its own profit;
and,
WHEREAS, The fight against this trust, UNI
der many discouragements this season, has
been full of promise of signal victory In the
future; therefore be 1t
Resotred, That in our Judgment the manu-.
facturers of iute bagging have forfeited all
claim upon the patronage of respecting
Alliancemen, and that it Is our deliberate
and fixed determination never again to use
it, our motto being, touch not, handle not
the unclean thing.
Resolved, That we send greeting to other
Alliances and urge them to stand firm and
united as brothers in a common cause, as.
sured that in union there is both strength
and victory.

A Good Name,

men know the worth of good principles
that can not be moved. A gentleman
turned off a man in his employ at the
bank, because he refused to write for
him on Sunday. When asked afterward
to name some reliable person he might
know as suitable for cashier in another
bank, he recommended this same man.
