SOMETHING LIKE ARNEY.
A Methodist Parson Summarily
Deposed for Playing Ball.
He Orgonizes society and Takes
Number of His ParishIoners with
Him-A Game for His BENEFIT.

The Rockland, n. Y, Baseball Club
proposes to give an entertainment Tor
the benefit of the Rev. Frank Forsyth,
late pastor of the Methodist Church.
A match game of ball between the
Rockland and Hancock clubs, and foot
and wheelbarrow races and football
games, will be among the sports OF the
day.
Rev. Frank FORSYTH is regarded by
his devoted followers as martyr to the
cause of liberal Christian ideas IN saith
letlC sports, and this entertainment Is
gotten up as n rebuke OF MS persecu-
tors. About year ago he was ordained
in the ministry of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and was assigned to the
ROckland charge in the Newburg dis
trIct Of the New York conference.
AS young pastor of pleasing social
manners and of uncommon gifts IN pull
pit oratOry, he was warmly received by
the ROckland congregation. But when
in course OF time the staid and exactlng
elders OF the church discovered that
their lively young pastor WAS given 10
playing baseball and foot ball with the
BOYS and to other worldly sports which
brought him into familiar intercourse
with unconverted sinners, they were
shocked by his abascment of the func-
tions of his nigh calling.
They summoned the pastor before

pastor rebelled against the attempted

The Presidents Message.

President Harrison sent his annual
message to Congress last week. The
portion of it that the people will be
most interested in is the part that re-
fers to the tariff. Mr.. Harrison stands
by the Mckinley bill, which probably
means that the law must stand for the
present. As his veto will prevent
the repeal or amendment of the law,
unless two-thirds of Congress can be
induced to pass new bill over his
veto, we have got the Mckinley bill
for sometime to come. The result Of
the late election is generally regarded
as verdict of the people against the
law, and under government like
ours the will of the people is supposed
to be the highest law of the land. 1t
is in theory but it is far from that
in practice. Our government is ex-
ceedingly infexible. 1t is not nearly
as flexible as the English government,
fact that is known to every intelli-
gent reader. In Great Britain an
election that is decided against the
policy of the government is notice
to the government-the cabinet-to
quit and let in men who will do as
the people wish and the cabinet does
quit. But here we elect a govern
ment for four years and unless the
legislative department in the mean
time is made overwhelmingly in OPP
position, in both branches, we must
endure any policy which an admins
tration chooses to formulate until its
term expires however much opposed
to it we may be.
The friends of the law, however,
will have an opportunity to demon
strate if they can, that the law will
bring great prosperity to all classes
of our people. They have all the
time affirmed that it would and we
are charitable enough to believe that
they think so. Two years from now
our people must be on the top wave
of prosperity, if the present law re-
mains on the statue books or there
will be political landslide compared
to which the late election was scarcely
noticeable movement. No doubt
the friends of this law recognize this
absolute certainty. They are blind
indeed if they do not. 1t is difficult
for ordinary minds to comprehend
how rise in tariff duties at this time
can benefit the people at large. But
the people are quite willing to be con-
WINGED that they are in the error.
There is nothing however, that will
convince them but a general prosper
ity that all classes will feel. Will it
come Western Rural.

Obvious Truth.

A registering party in skiff few
rods above the falls Of Niagara, rush
ing madly toward the precipice, with
out thought of danger, would excite
conflicting emotions in the minds of
the on lookers. So those politicians
who consider that party lines and
catch-words will keep the people in
the party ranks for the next few years
will have violent awakening. The
fiery wrath of an outraged people will
consume like withes Of straw the
bands which held them to party
against their interest and against
right. The people are aroused. This
fact is nbundantly attested by the late
elections. They are determined to
right the wrongs from which they
have long suffered. If any political
party proposes to right these wrongs,
all right. Otherwise they will make
a party for this special purpose.
The government has legislated for
capital ever since the war. The cur
rency bonds were made payable in
coin at loss of hundreds of millions
of dollars to the people. The national
banks have had a privilege and
power worth hundreds of millions
more to them. The corporations
have had an empire of lands donated
to them, in some cases which they
never earned. The people have paid
billions Of dollars to manufacturers
through tariff taxes. The currency
has been contracted immensely and
for the sole benefit of capital. The
people are tired of all this, they are
up in arms about it, and they are de-
termined to change this condition of
things. Men and parties who are in
the way will get run over, crushed,
and hustled aside.
The tidal wave is still rising. The
farmers, half organized, have spoken
first word. They are deep in ear
nest and they will have more to say.
The Democratic party is the party
of the people, and it should fight the
peoples battle. fit does all is we'll.
Otherwise there will be trouble.
The rollicking young fellows in the
canoe that is rushing toward Niagara
may not know the real situation
But the cool.headed people on the
shore do know it. Nobody but fools
and idiots will sneer and scott at the
farmers at this justice. The govern
ment belongs to the farmers just as
much as it does to. the capitalist and
the monopolists. The farmers and
laborers have initiated a tentative CO.
operation it is liable to become firm
ly knit. They will demand their
rights, and they are pretty sure to
get them. Let the Democracy prove
itself true to the principles of the
founders, and come squarely out on
the side Of the people against all priv

How It Was Organized.

In our astonishment at the success
of the peoples party in Kansas we
must not imagine that it was the work
of an unorganized and temporary
sentiment. The power Of organiza-
ton was never more clearly demon
strated. Neither Of the other parties
was as strictly organized or as fire.
quently reviewed and drilled. The
local alliances were the backbone of
the movement. They met frequently,
received instructions from their CEN
trail officers. pledged themselves to
voting the ticket, read their party lit
erature and acted with the precision
of a machine. A sentiment and a
reason were the strong springs, but
there was everywhere the direction of
a prevailing intelligence of manage
ment If the Democratic voters of
America were half as well organized
no Republican or plutocratic party
could carry State.
The Farmers Alliance in Kansas
had the services of two weekly organs
of large circulation, both of which
were conducted with skill which,
considering it from a standpoint of
the object sought, must be called con-
summate. One was the official organ,
the Advocate, and the other the Kan
sas Farmer. DIR. McLallin and
Judge PETER, the editors, were factors
in the campaign from first to last.
Their policy was argument, true his
tory and figures. The Advocate un-
earthed Senator Ingalls's record and
utterances from the mass of available
material and exposed each of his bad,
foolish and inconsistent deeds and
words. The disclosures were made
with cold. impartial, 'merciless nc.
curacy well adapted to carry convic-
ton. There is no doubt that the
Senator is nearly or quite as much
responsible for the cohesion of the
Alliance as the misdeeds of his party
in Congress. The Advocate took the
Republicans at their word, accepted
ingalls, as the representative Repub-
lican partisan, and then produced his
character and record. II was a mas.
terly stroke of political generalship.
Judge PETERS work in the Farmer
was in a similar line. His paper
went on in its usual agricultural way
except on the two editorial pages, and
those we're nearly always filled with
calm, apparently disinterested article
on the tariff, the currency and occa-
sionally the force bill. In cam.
paign of education the influence of
