combined to entrap him into matrimony.
He was informed the young lady, who

LITTLE GOLDEN HAIR.

| How o Pretty Maiden saved Poor TT.
tie Girl from 1mprisonment.
There was a great hubbub in the city
Of Lyons one day. A little girl had
stolen loaf from bakers shop, and
as she could not run very fast of course
she was soon caught by the people, who
shouted stop thief' and marched of
to the police station. The poor child
| had done wrong, but IL ever any one
had good excuse for stealing she had.
As she walked with fearful eyes and
trembling feet by the big policeman's
| side she looked round to see if there
were any people in the crowd who could
help her. Close to the door of the DO.
lice-station she saw a girl about her
| own age, with beautiful golden hair.
Surely she would have pity on her; she
was lady, too, and might be able to
help as well as pity.
The little prisoner stepped up to the
stranger, and whispered:
II stole the loaf tor my mother; she
Is dying of hunger"
where does she live?" was the quick
reply, and the poor girl had only Just
time to give the address when the
policeman hurried her on.
With swift feet the tender-hearted
child. who had never known what IL
was to want meal, sped homeward. 4
disappointment awaited her there. Her
mother was out and after turning purse
and money-box inside out she found
that she had not penny of her own.
She stood still momsnt, wondering
what she could do to help the poor
starving woman, when she suddenly re.
membered that a hair-dresser had once
said that he would give her a louis
(equal to about sixteen shillings and
eightpence in English money! for her
golden hair.
She stopped before the glass an in.
stant and never had her hair looked SO
pretty to her, but the memory of that
other tear-stained, hungry face came
before her, and afraid lest she should
not have courage to make the sacrifice.
she left the house, and never ceased
running till she came to the hair-dress.

said, gasping for breath. II want the

The man naturally was surprised at
such request from a young lady. and
asked her what she wanted to sell her

touching tale he took fifteen francs Ia

"You had better 90 at once to the
poor woman," he said. II can come

With light heart the child made
her way to the address which had been
given to her, and lost no time in giving
food and other necessaries to the sick
woman.

footprints of The Worlds History


From the Christian Record.
1t is relief to pick up a new book
that is at once thrilling, romantic
wholesome, pure and true. Such a
work is Footprints of the Worlds
History" the latest and greatest work
of the two celebrated historians, John
Clark Ridpath and VIM. s. Bryan
These distinguished gentlemen, hav.
ing won their laurels by independent
writings, have co-operated on this
work, and produced a gem "of the
purest ray serene.r 1t is not dry
uninteresting statement of the plain
facts, but rather each of the most i'm
portant events of history has been talk.
Ell up and described by mas ter OF
language, who holds the reader ell.
tranced as he wends his way along
the path of history, following careful
ly in the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with the superb
volume. Perfect in thought, superb
in style, and magnificent i'm execution.
The bindings are sumptuous, as are
also the many illustrations and color
ed plates. The publishers have right
ly concluded that such a gem should
have a rich setting.
1t is a valuable addition to litera-
ture. 1t is book for the old as well
as the young; the married as well as
the single; the gay as well as the
grave. Everybody will read it with
equal eagerness and profit. 1t is sold
only through agents, and the publish

CHAIRMAN DUMBAULD, of the Peo-
ple's party, has issued eall to all the
Alliances in the State recommending
that they hold Alliance picnics on the
Fourth of July, and the call seems in
a fair way to be generally obeyed.
Is there nothing so sacred that these
shysters will not profane it by drag
ging their politics into it? Senator
Peffer said at Cincinnati Tuesday
night that the Alliance was fast TAX
ing the place of the churches, and
now comes MIR. Dumbauld with an
order to make our great National pa
triotic holiday day for Alliance pic
mics! What would have been thought
and said if Chairman Buchan had is
ued call recommending that the Re
publican clubs over the State hold
Republican picnics ON the Fourth of
July! We should never have heard
the last of it. But it would not have
been any more out of place for Mr..
Buchan to issue such a call than it
was for Mr., Dumbauld to issue this
call to the Peoples party. This call
means, practically, that ali over the
State the Peoples party campaign
of 1891 will be begun OIL the Fourth of
July. We have had political parties
from the foundation of the Republic,
but it has been reserved for this par
ty, this particularly pure aud patri-
otic Peoples party, to be the first to
make the celebration of the Fourth of
July partizan political affair. We
trust it will enjoy the bad distinction.

THE CHILD is BORN.

"In view of the great social, indus
trial and economical revolution now
dawniug upon the civilized world and
the new and living issues now coll
fronting the American people, we be-
Jieve that the time has arrived for a
capitalization of the political reform
forces of our country and the forma-
tion of what should be known as the
Peoples party of the United States OF
America"
Such was the first plank in the plat
form reported by the committee OH
resolutions at the great Cincinnati
convention, and its adoption, amid a
perfect pandemonIum of cheers, settled
the question of the organization of a
third party. The child is born.
The remainder of the platform en-
dorses the st. Louis and Ocala plat
forms, declares in favor of the sub
treasury scheme and government loans
on real estate security, favors free
coinage, a graduated income tax, a
revenue tariff, Government control
and ultimate ownership of means of
communication and transportation,
and the election of President and
vice-President by popular vote. Ad-
ditional resolutions, not part of the
platform, favoring universal suffrage,
eight hours day and the issuance of
treasury notes to pay soldiers the
equivalent to coin were passed. A res
olutfon pledging the new party to fav-
or the abolition of the liquor traffic,
was viciously howled down.
So there is to be new party. In
the North at least, for it is worthy of
note that not single Southern State
had an accredited representative
at the Convention. And it is
not to be denied that it
has back of it many earnest, honest
men and that its birth was attended
with boundless enthusiasm. The
question is: How long will it hang
together? Look at the discordant
elements that compose it: The far
mersS interested in low railroad rates,
low prices of manufactured articles
aud high prices for food stuffs; the
knights of Labor interested i'm high
railroad rates, high prices of manu-
factured articles and low prices for
food .stuffs; the land owners asking
the Government to lend them money;
the Bellamyites asking the Govern
ment to compel those who have land
to divide with those who have not.
A patch work platform has somehow
been built on which all these antagon-
istic classes seem now to be standing
i'm peace; and while they thus stand
things will always be interesting and
sometimes perhaps a little trouble
some. But eventually the Grand Ag-
gregation of Consolidated Cranks
mnst go to pieces by the force of mu-
tusl repulsion, and by the operation OF
natural laws. Glasses whose interests
are antipodal cannot patch up COM
promises forever, and an enduring
National party cannot be built up ON
q platform that makes class legisla-
tion its chief plank and contravenes
every known principle of political
economy.
