MAY MAReERY.

May Margery Of Lynton
Is brighter than the day;
Her eye is like the sun in heaven;
Was ne'er so sweet May.
May Margery has learnt tune
To which her soul Is set;
The voices Of all happy things
Are In its cadence met;
The voices OF all happy things
In air, and earth, and sea,
Make music In the little breast
OF sweet May Margery.
And has May Margaret hearty

NEWSPAPER OPINION.


Not supported by His Party.
Georgetown Democrat.
In the attempt by forms OF law TO open
the door to fraudulent vote OF 1000
negro voters Of New Castle county It is
claimed that Senator Higgins has not by
any means the support OF his own party.
With that number Of fictitious names
upon the list for which fraudulent voters
must be found upon election day, 1t is
easy to see why any conscientious man,
whether Democrat or Republican, must
oppose any plan intended to deliberately
thwart the viii Of the people by illegal
voters imported for the express purpose.

THE KNIFFIN murder Of Trenton, is
still mystery. The fact that such a
murder could occur In q state Nike New
Jersey, where there can be no general
cause for domestic broils takes all the
notoriety from the Barnwell massacre Of
South Carolina There is no possible ex.
tenuation for the murder Of the beauti-
full, young and virtuous Mrs. knit
i'm. Though in the very heart of
the boasted Northern civilization here is
an example of the foulest and most cold
blooded murder in the annals Of history.
This murder has occurred among respect
able and intelligent people and suspicion
points to the relatives, perhaps the hus
band, Of the victim as being privy to It,
even If they dio not commit il. In South
Carolina there are two races whom willy
and dangerous politicians keep con
stantly excited against each other
+, One crime Of one party incitel
a greater crime from the other party
The Barnwell, s. c., lynching was pro
woked by the massacre of four white men
1t was prompted by vengeance and car
ried out as a bloody reprisal. Thu
Trenton murder was committed aftei
studious, careful and skilful elaboration
There are not two races excited and vim
dicative; there have been 10 previous
crimes to incite revenge. 1t is the Ingalls,
Chandler and Morning News politics to ex
eaggerate the South Carolina lynching TO
political purposes and to pass the New
Jersey murder in silence because 1t can
not be Of political service Both are das
tzzdlT crimes, beth should be condemned

COLONEL SHEPARD, who married Van
derbilt's millions. imagines that his opin-
ions are wise and important, because his
wife is rich. He proposes to write an
inscription for the monument Of Henry
w. Grady for the instruction and hu-
initiation Of the people Of Atlanta. He
says he frequently takes men from the
South TO his table and attempts TO en-
tighten them concerning their fu-
ture political and moral conduct
He says that the bold and bad Southrons
resent such insolence and reject his
absurd advice He Is astonished at this
Imagine the spectacle Of class of South
ern editors and statesmen of the highest
personal and moral character accepting
advice from Shepard Think Of Grady,
Dawson, watterson, Howell, Nicholson,
Belo, and Lamar; think Of Carlisle, Nor
gan, Gordon, Lee, Breckenridge, Beck,
and Wilson listening TO tiresome mono
logue Of sanctimonious political cant
from rich parvenu who rates his sense
by his wifes dollars. II it were not SO
much the fashion now to estimate sense
by dollars, to substitute wealth for pat
riotism, to accept show Of virtue for
real manliness, the position that Shepard
assumes would be amusing. But in
this age when man who Is
rich can be Vice President, when
the United States Senate is a millionaire
club, when one great political party
bows to the golden calf and gives a
Cabinet position to merchant because he
raised $4O0,O 600 for bribery, Colonel
Shepard becomes dangerous. He is one
one Of class. His class is in power.

THE sudden and aggravated state of
excitement that the Republicans were In
concerning the mandamus scheme 70
bride and control the negro voters by
Wholesale has subsidized The publication
OF the testimony of Samuel Stanley
stating that he had been employed by the
Republicans to solicit powers Of attorney
among houses Of ill-fame, those cuts Of
the forged Agness affidavits and the de
pressingly weak argument Of Senator
Higgins have served to depress
the ardor Of those Republicans who
expect to control political affairs by such
methods and to disgust fair minded men
There is no doubt that all decent and
respectable Republicans disapprove Of the
methods employed by the men who have
eusurped the management Of the party.
Higginsism does not meet any more ap-
proval than MAhoneism met. The major
ity Of conservative Republicans do not
approve Of Senator Higgins, of his .polIt-
ical methods or Of his assistants. They
look with digust at the supremacy Of that
element in local politics. Senator Hig-
gins is in absolute control Of the machine
but be does not control the self-respecl-
Ding members Of the Republican party.

Barnwell lynching is received and held as
sweet morsel by certain base class Of
Republicans. They gloat over its hideous
details and lay In wait to incite and
gloat over similar crimes. They would

what we Are All Talking About.

The New York Sun had an article
during the holidays in which it advised
women not to buy canes for their male
friends for Christmas present, saying
cane and then he would be suited That
is true. But why do not women buy
canes to carry themselvesl They would
certainly carry canes gracefully, not to
say charniingly, and the walking stick
would be an effectual means of defence
for the weaker sex against dogs and
dudes, Let the girls carry canes.

FARMERS PROSPERITY.

Farm, Stock, and Home.
There are politicians and writer's who
seem to honestly believe that if it can
be shown that considerable number OF
farmers are slowly getting ahead, no
matter how slowly nor at what cost OF
deprivation of ordinary comforts of life,
great point has been made, and the
claim that there is anything wrong with
our political and economic questions is
thereby disproyen. It would be strange,
indeed. if in a country SO richly en-
dowed with soil and climate as this, q
farmer who is wiling to work very
hard, and practice parsimony in living
that a Digger Indian would consider
stingy, could not slowly get ahead; and
he who does SO surely has no occasion
to be thankful for laws, systems, or
practices that vouchsafe him only 80
much. Politicians need to understand
this; if every farmer in the land were
making fortune each year, that would
not justify unequal taxatioA. over cap
or capitalistic conspiracies
in unjustly taking from him one dollar
of his profits. That the farmer NAV
exls.., may even get ahead mere or less
does not atcoe for the rob-
berries he is the victim Of. The thief
need not steal all man has to insure
his Incarceration in prison; nor should
capitallstic conspiracies be compelled to
steal all Of farmers substance before
the people are justified i'm driving them
from the face of the earth

THE TRUE AND ONLY ISSUE.

Kansas Workman.
But since the sanguinary struggle
for liberty in 1861 these golden truths
have been forgotten, and vicious sys-
toms have been established that mean
poverty and tenantry for the many.
and millionaire landlordism for the
few.
And now to meet this terrible condi
ton, to prevent this wholesale slaughter
of our homes, this spread OF tenantry,
the people, after a lapse of thirty years,
have spoken again. This time. assem-
bled in the peoples party convention,
they declare:
"The earth is the common heritage
Of the people; every person born into
the world is entitled equally with all
others to place to live and earn a liv-
ing, aud any system of government
that does not maintain and protect this
inalienable right is wrong, and should
be changed or abolished"
This is a grand truth and we'll uttered.
1t is the re- e-kindling of the fires OF the
fifties. Lot them blaze out with
added brilliancy, that whole world
may see.
Standing upon this, the debtor, who
Is taxed by the creditor in the shape oI
interest for the privilege OF living. say,
to his law-ma1e master. .sYour powe,
Thomas County cat., 1890-10-23

to tax my industry is cutting "h my
right to the soil and the benefits there
OF, that cannot enjoy the same equally
with yourself. It must be abolished.
You have no better right to tax me, and
enforce your robbery, than I have TO
tax you and enforce my taxation to sne
end of taking your home and the pro-
ducts of your labor"
Standing upon this, the man who mas
not whereon to lay his head says to the
man who charges him rent for the use
of the soil, Gods gift to mon, "The
common heritage of the people" "You
have no more right to draw rent from
my industry than I have from yours
Your robbery must cease"
"Free speech, free press, and free
homes must again form the rallying
CIV OF the victorious forces which are
to march under the banner Of reform.
Standing upon the peoples platform,
We may Justly demand the abolition OF
all laws which force the property of the
people out of their hands, for any pre-
tence whatever, for the benefit OF q cred
itor class, more properly known as a
robber class.
Standing upon this platform, the ad-
vocates thereof must demand that the
power OF the courts to foreclose mort
cages, issue orders of sale, or execu-
tions, and to confirm sales must be
abrogated; that the power Of sheriffs to
sell the peoples prop rty and homes
must be by law taken away from them !;
that the power given to county COM
missioners to levy tax to pay interest
or principal of bonds must be by law
withdrawn; then, and not till then, will
the machine of ftransfer-tenant making
stop it's grinding: then. and not till
then, can it be said that 'every person
born into the world has an equal right
with all others to place to live and
earn living"
The battle must be fought out on
this line, and he is a COWARD who
falters. He is a KNAVE who refuses.
The home is paramount. It must
stand free from the faint of wage and
tenant serfdom, and he who, by word,
deed, or thought, would make it other
wise deserves immediate death.
Death to tyrants-tenant and wage
makers s-must ever be the command of
the Almighty.

THE ALLIANCE Is NOT THE PEC-
PIES PARTY.

Kansas Fssmer.
The party press fights the farmers
alliance and industrial union as if it
were the peoples party, when in truth
the two are separate and distinct Or
ganizationR The membership OF the
alliance is made up Of persons holding
dsferennt opinions concerning the
great questions which the old parties
keep before the people Republican,
democrat, prohibitionist, union labor,
resubmissionies, all meet on equal
plane in the alliance, and do not bother
about the individual opinions of ono
another on old party questions.
Tho peoples party is composed os
persons belonging to the Patrons of
Hushandry (grange). alliance, Farmers
NIutSal Benefit association. Knights of
Labor, and other industris2 organiza-
tions. But none, of these bodies as a
whole have undertaken b, compel any
of thsir members to vote. against their
will. They are as free now rs they
were before any action was. taken to Or
ganias new party. Besides members
of these various bodies ef organized
laboa. great many persons who are
not members of any labor organization
and are not eligible to membership in
the alliance, are acting with the peoples
party. Briefly, this new party is made
up Of persons who. whatever may be
their opinions on. "dead issues" agree
substantially ON few fundamental
propositions relating to finance. trans
portation, land, and labor, as they are
set forth in certain demands made by
tho national farmers alliance and in
d~strial union at st. Louis December
