The Third Party.

suppose much will continue to be
said and written. AS in the past,
80 in the future, much will be said
to deceive and mislead the people.
A lie suits a great many people bet
ter than the truth. Let any man OF
sense note carefully the tone Of the
old line party press, and the pro-
fessed politician. Abuse by the
wholesale is heaped upon all the re-
form organizations, but little or
nothing is said of the unjust and
discriminating laws dictated by
home and foreign capitalists. Had
congress legislated in favor of labor
as they have done in favor Of capt.
al, both home and foreign, there
would not be so much widespread
complaint as there is among the
toiling masses of the land. Labor
has it's rights as well as capital, and
both should be protected.
But wish to submit few plain
facts for consideration. And first,
can the principles of a pure demo-
cratic or republican government be
perpetuated by either or both Of
the old line parties as manipulated
and controlled by Wall street, and
foreign capitalists ? Second, has
our financial Legislation since 1861,
been in the interest of capital and
labor alike Third, can the con-
dition of labor ever be materially
changed without a change in the fl
nancial policy of the government!
Now in addition to the above ques-
tons, / wish to submit a few plain
facts in relation to the Third par
ty" as it is called by some. And
first, it is a fact that the National
Alliance met at St. Louis in 1889,
and at Ocala, Florida, in 1890, and
at each of those meetings a plat
form of demands were presented
and adopted. Now if the member
ship, to man, supports the plat
form, is not the third party already
formed? And second, is it not a
fact, that since 1861, the admins
tration of the government, with the
exception Of four years, has been in
the hands of the Republican party,
and what is the situation to-day?
Is it not a fact that there is great
deal of complaint against the two
old parties Has either of the two
old parties, as such, offered any re-
lief to. the toiling masses =? 1t is
evidently the policy of the old par
ty leaders to keep the people divid-
ed into parties, by appealing to
party prejudicess and sectionalism.
The leaders of the Republican party
have tried to impress the people
with the idea that about all that is
needed is to keep the Democrats

by the people. We are told that
our demands are unconstitutional;
that it is class legislation, and that
no class can do justice to all other
classes. l suspect the truth is the
money class don't want justice. At
times they are great sticklers for the
constitution and the law; and at
other times they pay no attention to
either. Note the following facts as
evidence. 1t is we'll known fact
that the exception clause" was
placed on the legal tender green
backs put out by the government,
by the demand of Wall street, and
that they were legal tender for all
debts, except import duties. and
interest on the public debt u; but
this same crippled greenback, with
out any authority of law, since 1879
has been received by the govern
ment in payment Of import duties,
and Mr.. Martin, in his money of
Nations" informs us that over $780,
100000 government obligations
have been paid in this money con-
trary to law. At the outset it must
be crippled so as to make market
for the bonds, and run up the war
debt as much as possible. From
the date of the Act in 1862 till 1879
it must not be received by the gov
ernsnent for import duties, neither
must it be paid out as interest. on
the public debt by the government.
Mr.. Martin says, "The president
and Mr.. Sherman being judges, it
is now better than gold. Since the
LIST of January, 10, more than $780,
100000 gold obligations have been
paid in it in preference to gold, at

Blood From n Tree,

Throckmorton county, Texas, possesses
natural curiosity in the shapeof a large
wild peach tree which, when cut in any
part, eXudes a sap almost the exact color
and consistency of fresh blood. Botan-
lists have confessed themselves at loss
to account for the popularity which they
are unanimous, however, in ascribing to
some coloring matter absorbed from the
soil in which it grows and which is, in
all probability, the correct way of ac-
counting for it, as cuttings from the tree
planted elsewhere invariably fail to de-
Velop the same popularity. The people
at large, however, are disposed to look
upon the tree as something uncanny, and
as many as dozen stories, all more or
less bloodcurdling, are poured into any
visitors ears concerning it,
1t is said that no negro will pass within
half mile of it at night for any sum
that can be offered. The tree is a splen.
did specimen, and has obtained a greater
size than is usual in its species. 1t be-
longs to j. r. Love, farmer of the vi
cinity, who has been obliged to surround
it with high fence to protect it from
injury at the hands of curiosity seekers,
who have hacked it for the sake of OBJ

Teaching Your Dog.

The easiest trick to teach a dog is
jumping. First put the learner into
corner, and make bar of stick--a cano
will answer the purpose-so that he can
not get outof the corner except by jump
ing over it. Do this until he Jumps over
the stick without hesitation, when you
may gradually raise the height of the bar
any required distance from the floor.
After the trick has been learned in the
corner, it may be tried in the center of
the room. Later on you may make a
hoop of your arms and teach your pupil
to jump through it, and after while
real hoop. Possibly one that is covered
with tissue paper may be substituted
with good results.
Another easy trick is sitting up. AS in
the first trick, begin in corner. Place
the pupil in sitting pose, so that his
back finds support against the walls, and
by tapping him lightly under the chin
force him to sit up. After some practice
he can do this without much effort.
Now accustom him to sit up without any
back support. 1t is harder to make
dog stand erect than to do either of the
two tricks just described. AS before, it
should be begun in the corner If the
learner tries to come down upon all tours
before his lesson is over tap his chin and
the bottom of his forepaws with tho
whip.
When he can stand erect he should be
taught to walk. This is done by holding
out a piece of meat or some dainty NOR
sci ON level with his mouth, and then
slowly backing away from him so as to
induce him to follow. After he has
walked few steps tell him to stand on
his four feet and give him the bait that
you have encouraged him with.
Let me say here that you should never
let your dog come to the end of any trick
without commanding him to do SO. 1t
should never be left to dogs own judg-
ment to bring performance to q close.
You should be the master of ceremonies
all the way through-at the end as well
as at the beginning of the show. Never
exercise your pupil for too long a time at
q stretch. You may weary him and
make him dread the lesson hour DIR.

a novel plan for eXtinguishing a
church debt has been hit upon in
Melbourne. The church committee
or vestry, as the case may be-divide
the total debt among themselves and
each man insures his life for the
amount that falls to his share. The
policies are transferred to the church,
and the annual payments on them
are made out OF the collection. Then
of course, as the members of commits
tee "drop off," the sums insured on
their lives drop in, and later, when
the last committeeman is dead, the
last installment Of the church debt
will be paid. The plan has the merit
if merit it be-of throwing the
whole of the responsibility for the
continuance of the Indebtedness upon
