Money is the overshadowing ques-
ton in all business vocations Why do
the leaders of the two old parties seek
to relegate it to the rear when the cleo
ton of our lawmakers draws near?
The substitution of the tariff scarecrow

power to intimidate even the weak

We have two parties in this coun-
try, and what are they? They have
been going down, down, until they
have almost reached the lower depths.
They represent two colossal organic
appetites. thirsty for spoils." They
are like wild beasts trying to devour
each other. The American people are
honest, intelligent and energetic. The
men who make the laws for them do
not represent them.-Roscoe Conkling.
If we had railroads belonging to
the people the fruit-growers in Della
ware and Kansas would not be feeding
peaches to the hogs, nor would the
farmers of many states in the west use
thousands of bushels of corn for fuel,
while in our large industrial cities of
the east men, women and children arc
starving. The peoples ownership of
the roads would bring producer and
consumer together at cost.-Journal of
knights of Labor.
A brother editor says that when he
was boy his grandmother taught him
to whistle when passing graveyard in
order to keep the hants" from getting
him. The political parties are now an
gagged in the whistling game. They
have no new issue, no new remedies to
offer. The alliance specter is constant
ly looming up as they GO about; the
people are asking relief; they even de-
mand it in unmistakable language, but
still the politicians continue to whistle.
Raleigh IN. C.) Progressive farmer
Had the alliance been content to
lust simply meet and resolve in favor
of such and such measures being en-
acted into law without carrying its ap-
peal to the ballot box, it would have
escaped the attacks of the political
''bosses" who manipulate nominations
and measures for which they are paid
by corporations out of their Legislative
funds" These fellows know with the
advent to power by the great plain peo-
pie that they are out of job. Turn
the rascals out and put men who are in
sympathy aud who win work for tho
interests of those whose servant he is
in the legislative halls OF the country.

TO the truth Of every word written BY Capt.
Carter. The writer's regiment crossed the
Plank Road to the left on the afternoon Of tho
9th. at the junction Of the Plank and Brock
Roads. This he knows, as they were asked by
an officer 10 what corps they belonged and he
was answered to the Twelfth His regiment
had just returned from veteran furl0ugh and
still wore the red star Of the Twelfth Corps.
They were marched. perhaps, 2 mile along the
Brock Road and stationed behind two lines Of
log works. They bad been halted but a short
time. when they heard heavy firing and the
rebel yell in the front They could not see the
front line. but soon saw our men coming back
and they went over the second line % the rear.
when the order was given % fix bayonets and
not Co let a man through. The writer's regi-
ment then made the charge and drove the
rebels back into the brush a short distance and
tried 10 rally their men, Several Of the
writer's regiment were shot down while on this
line Of the works. lie would like to hear from
Col Sudsburg aud Col. Robinson, and h. knows
they could give an interesting account Of this
action
d. w. Brest, Co. f, 18th Pa, Mercer, Pa,
speaking Of the reCapturc Of the rebel works on
the Brock road, says that the engagement be-
gan on May ,, 1864. His regiment was lying
on the extreme left when the firing began,
where Gen. Hancock had ordered the brigade.
The brigade was marched out on the Plank
road and then ordered 70 the extreme right,
where the fighting was hot. They left the
Plank road for a piece of woods ard came upon
the relief Of the both Pa, which was just at
lacking. Just here the 18th met the rebels,
who opened fire first. A charge was made by
the brigade, in which the writer was wounded.
If he remembers Alright the Ninth Corps came

sition being on the left flank but there was no
