The attitude Of the Farmers Alliance to

self accordingly. The Iutelligencer
quotes that portion Of DR.. Elzey 5
address in Baltimore before the Al
lance in which he says:
"Ssys the Democrat: We hare tariff

measure, says the Democrat. Well, the
Alliance believes that is good thing If
properly carried out. but that it ever
will be has not yet been demonstrated
But we are for Civil Service. We want
Ballot reform, says the Democrat. The
Alliance believes in that also, but il
don't believe in it as federal measure
II is a matter that belongs to the States
and we think should be regulated by
them. So far the Democratic party and
the Alliance get along swimmingly to-
gether. We agree on everything. Then

From the above extract it looks as il
the Alliance men are dissatisfied with
the Democratic party because they are
not permitted to put up different eandi'
dates than those usually put up by TIN
Democratic party. Should they be per-
mitted to do so &C according to DR.. Elzey
they would stand by that party. For il
nearly every other particular the Alli'
ance and Democratic party agree.

He Trains 1vith Outcasts.

The fraud and impostor, Stuhr, has
been floclxing with that precious
crowd of hunbugs known as the JEFF
fersonian Democracy, and our only
competitor, while we'll knowing the
mendacity of the assertion, asserts
that the wretched traitor strains
with Democrats.n
Why. these selfish, cross grained and
generally corrupt kickers are not
Democrats. They are mules. They
are barren hybrid between Repub-
licanism and Democracy, with all the
bad points of both
AS for Stuhr, wait until the Senate
meets and see whom the fraud will
train with then. He will be found
grovelling at the feet of John j.
Toffey and e. J. Anderson, paying
the vile price Of his disgraceful title,
and rejected and insulted by his own
ers as wen as by the party he be-
trayed.
The future existence Of this political
Pariah is painful to contemplate.
Like one afflicted with leprosy, he
will be Stunned by all clean and
wholesome men, and driven to the
companionship of political outcasts
like himself.

beneficial result is most gratifying DIR.

My busy days are Ger;
Within my sheltering embrace
The babies sleep no more.
No more as in the bygone hours,
NY drowsy beat keeps time,
In patient, sleepy monotone
With the old nursery rhyme,
Rock ably, baby, on the tree top;
When the wind blows the cradle will rock"
The last rays of The setting sun,
Slant through the windows small;
They light the garrett dusky gloom,
And on my head they fail.
Along their level bars of gold
Old pictures come and go
Again hear the mothers Voice
Singing so soft and low,
.'RocE-a-by, baby, on the tree top;
When the wind blows the cradle viii rock. -
All mel where once the baby heads t4e
The downy pillows prest,
Within my ample oaken hood
The spider has her nest.

Down will go baby and cradle anu all.
