From the Louisville Times.
Doodle for the North, rotten
boroughs for the Northwest and
Federal agents for the South inui-
cate the plan of campaign the G.
o. P. has adopted for 1890 and
1892. Southern elections are to be
terrified" by partisan supervis-
ors appointed by a partisan Ad-
ministration and confirmed by a
partisan Senate; fat is to be fried
out of monopolies, created by law
and maintained by taxes, to cor
rupt the ballot in the Middle States
and Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
while Idaho and Wyoming are to
re.enforce the other new States be-
cause they "vote right" The hope
of the people lies in an awakened
public conscience North and West.
The revolution must sweep like a
tornado through New York, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois If this coun-
try is to be rescued from the
ol1garchy that stole the Presiden-
cy in 1876, bought it in 1888 and is
ready to buy it and bulldoze it in
1892. 1t is not bright page that
is presented to our view, and no
man can tell what will be written

and great -great-grandmether Of SIS
children. In many respects she
was wonderful woman. Her
memory served her faithfully in
her old age and she was able to
read even small print up to few
weeks before she died. She was P
devoted member of the Baptist
Church for 70 years. In later years
she used crutches to aid her in
getting about, but made visits
around to her children, having
spent some time in Vandalia. In
1888 Mrs. Spotswood came to
Mexico in wagon and had
a picture taken, from which
the above cut was made. Her
friends claim it is a fair picture OF
her in life.
Mrs. Spotswood was born in
Scott county, KY, December %,
1875. She was daughter of Josiah
and Nancy Bergman, who lived
eight miles north of Georgetown,
KY. She was married to Alex
ander Spotswood in 1914, and the
couple resided near Paris, KY, for
thirteen years, after which they
moved to Rails county, Mo-, To-
eating three miles west of New
London. Here her husband died
in ls43, after having twelve child
rem born to them, two of whom
died when quite young. Mrs.
Spotswood and family moved to
Audrain county from Rails in 1S49
and purchased 800 acres of land
which she lived on and titled for
many years, until most Of her
children married. She divided her
property and money among her
children and made her home with
her youngest son, Jno. w. Spots
wood, for twenty-eight years. She
was one of the very first settlers in
Rails county, and remembered
distinctly and told of many inter.
esting incidents of early times,
when Missouri was inhabited chief
ly by Indians and wild beasts Of
the forest. 'Grandma' Spotswood
was grand old lady and the world
is better for her having lived
Her remains were followed to theil
last resting place by large con-
course of friends.

The pickax Can hardly be struck
Anywhere into the soil of modern
Rome without bringing to light
some relic of the old empire or the
later republic. While laying some
pipes the other day the workmen
unearthed fine bust in Carrara
marble Of the Empress Faustina.
The bust is quite uninjured. In a
vineyard belonging to the Capuch-
ms a statue has been resurrected
which is recognized as statue Of
the Goddess of Fortune. Ten feet
below the surface, in the Via Polla,
has been found an ancient Roman
road, which is undoubtedly the
road that in early Roman times led
from the city to the Flaminian gate.
Thirty feet below the surface in
another part of the city have just
been found the remains OF an old
Roman house, parts of which are in
a tolerable state of preservation.

Lord Wolseley has a very poor
opinion of the white trader in Afri-
ca. lie says it is useless to appeal
to his humanity or feelings. TIE
average trader, he says, doesnot care
whether the vile alcohol he sells
claims more victims than war or
pestilence, or whether the arms he
barriers for oil and ivory cause large
districts to be laid waste by the
slave dealer. If he only grows rich
he cares nothing for all the suffering
he may inflict, though Lord Wolse-
ley adds that the mouth of this same
trader is often filled with moral
plattitudes when he speaks in Eu-
rope on African topics. Lord
Wolsely thinks African questions
should be settled by the European
powers, without any regard to the
wishes or opinions of African trad
ers.

ABANDONED.

The Alliance platform adopted by
the late convention In Ocala, Flori-
da. does not contain an endorsement
of the sub treasury scheme. In fact
that scheme is not once mentioned
in the declaration of principles and
statement OF demands. In its stead
the following demands are made:
"We demand the abolition Of ma
tional banks. We demand that the
Government shall establish sub
treasures OF repositories in The sev-
eral States, which snail loan money
direct to the people at low rate of
interest, not to exceed 2 per cent.
per annum, on -perishable farm
products and also upon real estate,
with proper limitation upon quanti-
ty Of land and amount of money
We demand that tie amount of cir
culating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than $50 per
capita"
1t will thus be seen that the fea-
ture Of establishing government
warehouses, in which to store cotton,
grain, &c, upon which loan OF so
cents on the dollars worth of said
produce, is abandoned and ''loans Of
: per cent. per annum on non per-
ishable farm products and also upon
real estate" is substituted therefor.
