The following poem is one Of the
first eve written by John Boyle
OReilly, and was printed in his first
volume, Songs and Legends"
Where the foot OF the rainbow meets the neld
And the gras respondent grows,
The earth will q precious treasure YIELD
As the olden story gees.
In q crystal cup are the diamonds piled
For him who can swiftly chase
Ger torrent and de- err and :scipice wild
10 the ra1nbow's wandering base.
There were two in the field at work, one day,
Two brothers who blithely sung,
When scross the valleys deep winding way
The gt rious arch was f.ng!
And oae saw nnught but q sign of rain
Ana feared for bis sheayes unbound
An one is away Ger mountain and plain
Till the mystical treasure is found.
Through forest and stream, in a blissful dream
The rainbow lurel him on
VI b a SIRENS guile it loitered awhile
lhtn leac ues away was gone.
Through brake and brier he followed feet,
The Poop g sco!fed as he past.
But in thirst and heat. and with wounded feet
he nears the prize at last.
It Is c'oser and closer-he wins the race,
One strain for { 9 goal in sight!
Its radian"e falls on his .yea,n'ng face
The bl. nded colors unto.
do iayes his brow in the iris beam,
He reaches All. woe the sound
From the misty gulf where he ends his dream
Where t. crystal cup is fourd.
'Tis tbs old, old story. One man will read
Hist sson of tel! in the sky.
While another is blind to tie grosser need,
A sneer with the splits eye:
You may grind their souls in the self same mill
ioa may In them hea t and brov;
hui the poet vii! fol.ow tae rninbow still,
AND MS b-o.her Will follow The plow.

he Growing Alliance.

Ten years ago nearly 5000, 900 inhab-
itants of the United States were engaged
in agriculture. Illinois led the list with
436, 3Tl. Georgia followed with 432,-
2O4 Then came Iowa with 397, 495.
Alabama was next with 3sO,63O. Then
New York with 377, 400. North Carolina
was next with 500, 973. Texas next with
359,31T. Some of the Southern are al
most wholly agricultural States. While
Illinois, which heads the list, absolutely
had 436.37l persons engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, more than a like number
were engaged ia other occupations,
whereas in Georgia persons of all kinds
of occupations were 597, 500, and Of this
number the farmers were, as stated,
432, a0+. Iowa is a great Western farm
State. But the number of farmers is
relatively fewer than in almost any of
the Southern States. Changes have oc-
CURED of course in the last decade. but
the proportions have probably been
maintained.
The farmers of the republic have
realized that it is possible to become a
great political agency. To this end they
have made organizations in nearly all the
States, especially in the South, where
they dominate the Democratic party.
In the West their Alliance is a thorn in
the side of the Republican party. The
alliance Of farmers, which is a national
organization, is gaining daily in strength.
A membership Of 5000, 900 is claimed.
The alliance bids fair to cut an i'm
portant figure in the politics of the
country. Its first decided demonstra-
tion will be made this fall, and if it
scores successes in any of the States,
even negatively, it will be encouraged to
a persistence which will make it a
formidable faction in the campaign OF
1S9s..-ChicdGO Times.

Almost a Contrast.

Our own methods in the theory and
practice of representative government
are devised from England, subject to
some variations of very doubtful ex-
pediency. The freest government on
earth to-day is that of Great Britain.
Members of the House of Commons are
vastly superior body of men to those
composing u House of Representa-
tiyes. There are not to-day twenty
men in both houses of Congress who
can speak Of converse upon economic
or public questions in q way hal is at
all instructive to men of intelligence,
though most Of them, through literary
hacks and private secretaries, occasion
ally address their constituents through
the medium of the Congressional.
Record, in which they get "leave to
print" The House Of Commons is
composed of gentlemen and scholars,
while our Representative Hall is full
of country backwoods attorneys and
small bore politicians. The difference
is so marked between the two bodies
as to amount to almost a contrast.
Fourth Of July orators who, oftener
than otherwise. know as little of the
science of government as they do about
pre-Homeric literature, annually in
dulge in so much hyperbolic twaddle
that the masses of people are woefully
misled in regard to the operations Of
u form of government. Every thinker
knows we have vast room for improve
ments, and hopes that the next genera
ton will see that some of these changes
and Improvements are made.-PuHman
Journal.

the word. what ! be done, if he who

the word. What can be done, il he who
was once q moderate drinker through
disease at last obeys the commands
of alcohol IS If 1t were his master?
The law is that drunkenness is no. ex.
cuse for crime, and 1t is q good law. The
way to avoid the results of drunkenness
is to avoid the drink. l secured my first
lessons in total abstinence in q judicious
chastisement at the hand of my mother
for sucking, as a boy, the sugar in the
bottom of my grandfather's whisky
glass. I have grown up q total abstainer
and my present condition shows how I
have dwindled away from the effects of
it. Oliver Wendell Holmes has said that
the education of a child should begin
several generations before it was born.
Now we are only two or three genera
lions removed from q class of somewhat
respectable drunkards. We should re-
member proudly that we are Anglo
Saxon. Our ancestors were measurably
pure compared with the Romans, but
they were drunkards. The picture OF
their mythical Valhalla, the heaven Of
their ~imaginatiOns, was that of men
drinking liquor from the skulls Of van
pushed enemies. 1t is in us as a race to
be d%runkards. We are i~mmeasurably
more prone to drink than are the Arabs.
You say the Hindoos are spider-shaped,
but in a census of red noses by far the
larger part will be Germans, Englishmen
and Americans.
MI. Gladstone has said, as I believe
truly, that, 'intemperance has caused
more misery than war, pestilence, and
famine combined 1t is in this style that
the supreme laws are enacted and en-
forced"

Declaration of Principles Adopted at the
State Convention In Lansing.
WHEREAS, The Democratic and Re-
publican parties have been in control OF
the municipal, State and national gov
eminent of this country since the close
of the civil wa, and
WHEREAS, During that time through
the criminal and negligent abuse of
power intrusted to the leaders of said
parties, our public domain has been
alienated to corporations, wealth has
been centralized, in the hands of the few,
and the masses proportionately impover-
ished; corporations have been created
which Cypress the people; unjust dis.
examinations have been made in the dis
tribution of taxes, so that the aggregate
wealth of millionaires and corporations
does not bear the same rate Of burdens
of taxation as that of the small holders;
the balance has been corrupted; our sys.
tenn of currency has been manipulated in
the interest Of the bondholder; and
WHEREAS, Rings and political tricksters
control said parties, so that the voice OF
the people has become powerless to cor.
rect abuses through the agency of said
parties; and
WHEREAS, The objectof the various re.
form organizations is essentially the
same, and the abuses to be removed are
so alarming IS to demand the laying
aside of minor differences for the great
er good; therefore we, citizens of Michi
gan, for the love Of our country and oul
homes, in harmony with the general up

John H. Powers Nominated for Governor
"A Ringing Platform.
tLincoln tNebl specially
The peoples independent V
ton met in this city, with s7s
delegates representing sev%enty-seven
counties. John H. Powers, President of
the State Farmers Alliance, was nom
mated for Governor. w. H. Deck, Of
Saunders County, was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor and Charles NJ.
Maybury OF Pawnee County for Secre-
tary of State. The following platform
was adopted:
We hereby declare our adhesion to the
following fundamental principles, and de-
mandt that they be enacted into law, viz. I:
Our financial system should be reformed BY
the restoration OF silver TO its old-time
place In our currency, and its free and I'M
limited coinage on an equality with gold, and
the increase OF our money circulation until
1t reaches the sum OF $50 per capita, and all
paper issues necessary to secure that amount
should be made by the government alone,
and LIE full legal tender for ali debts, public
or private. hat land monopoly should be
abolished either by limitation of ownership
or graduated taxation Of excessive holdings.
SO that all competent should have an op-
portunity to labor and secure homes and
become good citizens; alien ownership should
be prohibited. That the railroad system as
at present managed Is a system of spOliation
and robbery. and that its enormous bonded
debt at fictitious valuation Is absorbing
the substance OF the people in the In
terest OF millIOnaires. That the gen.
eral government should own and operate
the ra.lroads and telegraph and furnish
transportation At cost, the same as mail
facilities are now furnished, and that our
Legislature shall enact a freight-rute law
which shall fix rates no higher than those
now In force in Iowa. We demand that our
state and national systems Of taxation and
tariff shall be SO adjusted that our laboring
interests will be fostered and wealth bear
its just burdens. instead of our farmers,
labOrers, merchants. and mechanics being
compelled to pay as at present by far the
largest portion OF publi.; expenses. We
further declare that the political machinery
in this State has been controlled by the cor
pOrate power for the plumber Of the people
and the enrichment of itself. and we have
entirely lost confidence in the efficacy of
that machinery for the enactment OF jus;
and the repeal of unjust laws. We demand
the enactment OF the Australian ballot sys.
tenn except on farms. We demand q liberia
service pension bill passed by Congress.
And we hereby invite all men. without re.
gard to past or present political utilization,
to join lis in this our effort for pure govern
ment, for relief from the shackles of party
politics and the domination Of corporate
power in our public affairs.

The COckroach.

The "water-bug," a genuine house,
hold pest, belongs to the cockroach
family. 1t is unnecessary to describe
it, for every woman knows it to her
sorrow. It eats almost anything and
is especially fond of bread, hence it is
apt to infest bakeries, and it some
times eats the covers of books bound
in cloth. but does not NEEDLE with
le%ather-bound books. It seems to
prefer sinks and bathrooms in houses,
especially the places where water
pipes run. We will not go into any
minute description of the life and
habits of this pest, but use our lin
tied space in presenting some methods
of getting rid of it. Borax mixed
with a little sugar and scattered in
places frequented by them either kills
them or drives them away. A prep
aration consisting of eight parts OF
borax, two parts of starch, and one
part of cocoa s%prinkled around their
haunts will kill or Danish them. Paris
green mixed with a little g%ranulated
sugar and sprinkled in places they
frequent will kill them. There is no
insect powder sold in drug stores
which will kill them, but about one OF
these powders in a dozen will tenn
porarily stupefy the insect so that it
can be brushed up and destroyed. All
such stuff as insecticide, phosphorus,
paste and powders that we have found
here seem to have served rather as
food for these pests than as destroy
ers, and u experience has only been
like that of neighbors who have ex-
perimented with such rubbish.
The following preparations are poi
sonous to children and ANIMALS, and, if
used at all, should be used with the
greatest care: A tablespoonful of red
lead and Indian meal mixed with mo-
lasses enough to make a thick batter
will be eaten by reaches if left where
they have access to it, and will kill
such as feed upon it. A teal ,~1oonful
of powdered arsenic mixed with a ia
blespoonful of mashed potatoes acts,
too, as a deadly poison for this insect.
The mixture of Paris green and sugar
is very easily made, and has been sue,
cessfully used by many good house
keepers. The general rule given when
speaking of other pests must not be
forgotten in dealing with the water
bug. Eternal vigilance on the part O
the housekeeper is absolutely necessa
ry to keep a house free from this bug
A single bug brought in with books
papers or clothing may soon fill
house with its progeny.-Erchange.
