If there is one thing more than an
other that has unified, solidi6ed and
bound together the Peoples Party, it
is the unceasing misrepresentation Of
its objects and principles at the hands
of the press of the old parties.
They have villi6ed, cursed and mis-
represented every move Of the third
party, since its organization and every
one Of their efforts have welded more
closely the links that bind it together.
They refuse to even call the third par
ty by its proper name, but persist in
calling it the "Alliance'' party. This
subterfuge has so often been exposed
that there is no further necessity for
wasting space BY refuting the state
ment.
However, the reason our mind has
been turned to the subject, was a state
ment in the St. Louis Globe Democrat
to the effect that the Alliance forbids
its members from taking any but Peo-
ple's Party papers, and if this law is
violated, the offending member is fined.
Could anything be more absurd?
The Globe-D Democrat then proceeds
to read sermon On liberal mindedness
cody and serenely ignoring the plain
fact that it has taken a lie for a
text. 1t is true that not many Peo-
ple's Party men take either Republi-
can or Democratic papers, for they
seldom see anything but abuse Of them
selves, or lies about their party, N
these organs. Neither do they see
any new issues discussed. The anti
quated. threadbare, weather-beaten
topics that have made the law Of the
survival of the fittest totter on its
foundation, find preference in their
columns. Is it any wonder that their
papers do not circulate among mem
bcrs Of the new party?
There is no Alliance law preventing
members from taking these papers,
but there is a natural law which pre-
vents. If man calls you fool, a
knave, an idiot, misrepresnts your ev-
cry action, and brands you as trait
or, you are not going to seek his COM
pany are you? And it doesn't require
any law to keep you from doing SO.

MAKE WISE SELECTIONS.

In the coming convention of the
Peoples Party of this county, to be
held August LIST, will be settled to a
great extent the fate of the third par
ty in so far as it is concerned locally.
If We select the proper men as can
didates for the various Offices, we will
win. If we do not we will lose.
The Times desires to impress this
fact upon the members Of the party.
1t desires to impress it upon those who
have friends wanting a nomination.
Let us lay personal preferences aside.
Let us not sacrifice party success to
personal ambition. Let us weigh the
qualifications of candidates for nomi-
nations.
Remember that we enter the field as
the reform party. In making nomina-
tions, let US be IN accord with this po-
sition. We cannot afford to let friend
ship for candidate blind us to his
faults or his shortcomings. There is
too much at stake. We must be
broad-minded enough to lay personal
considerations aside. We must be firm
enough to refuse to support men with
out qualifications. We must look to
the party's interests first and the po-
litical ambitions Of aspirants after
ward. We should not let personal
friendship influence our Judgment in
favor of any man. These facts are
clear to all. They are self-evident
truths. Then let us act on them.
Let US 60 In to win-not to boost a
friend into position he is not quail
fed to fill.
Sel6shness breeds factions, factions
breed discord, and discord ends in de-
feat.
If the members Of the party in this
county expect to win, if they desire
success, they must lay aside every con-
sideration but party loyalty.
A golden opportunity is given US.
Let us grasp it.

We have received pamphlet from
the postmaster general giving an ex-
haustive argument in favor of the gov
ernment establishing postal savings
banks. Among other things, the post
master general states that the senti-
ment of the country is undoubtedly in
favor of postal savings banks, but that
the tremendous influence welded by
private banks has prevented the adopt
ion of the plan. There is no question
regarding the benefits arising from es-
tablishing these institutions and the
day is not far distant that will see them

Our good friend Cline, who edits
the Bellefout Ensign, published at a
watering station of the Sapta Fe in the
east end of the county, makes addition
a! foolish remarks in the last issue Of
that paper. We dare say many OF the
readers of the Times we're unaware
that such a publication existed until
We unwittingly and perhaps foolishly
noticed its ridiculous statements re-
garding the Ford convention, in our
last issue. But having taken notice
of its utterances, we feel in duty
bound to recognize what it may furth-
cr say, not without, however, due apol-
ogies to our readers.
Our friend Cline makes the absurd
statement that We thought he was for
sale to the Peoples Party. Truth
compels us to state that We thought
nothing Of the kind. But if indica-
tions go for anything, one is forced to
the conclusion that he was in the en-
p.oy of the ring.
It is not necessary for Cline to 'tgulp

county matters, he need not necessari-

In the dispatches relating the death
Of Sam Woods, the statement is made
that he was the bead of the third par
ty in this state. 1t is evident that the
dispatch was written by republican
or democrat, and that they cannot re-
sist attacking the third party, even in
chronicling an obituary.
Dodge City times., 1891-06-26

Dispatches telling of Alliances re-
pudiating the third party movement,
are not uncommon in republican papers
these days. But the dispatches origi-
nate in the worried and harrassed
brains of republican editors, and not
IN fact. In the meantime, the recruit

He Was a Lucky Reporter.

Reporters sometimes report speeches
they do not hear, and bad work they make
of it. An enthusiastic Irishman was once
hoaxed by wag into reporting speech in
parliament by Edmund Burke on the mer-
its of the potato as an article of diet. The
wag repeated the speech apparently from
his notes. and the reporter, never doubling
his good faith, handed in a report. The
next morning all London was laughing
over the speech, which made Mr.. Burke at
tribute the superior virtue of the Irish peo-
pie to the fact that they eat so many pota-
toes
Another reporter Jared better who made
up speech from his own imagination. 1t
was bold ret, for the speech was from
the throne, George III being the monarch.
The ministers were indignant at his i'm
pudence, and were eager to punish him
with the severest penalties of the law.
But the good natured monarch interpOsed,
with quiet joke at the expense of the
minister who had prepared the speech read
by the king. 81 hope the mans punish
ment will be of the ~mildest sort" said
King George, because l have read both,
and so far as can understand either of
them, like the reporters speech better

A New Bleaching Agent.

Dr. Ludwig Schreiner, of Stuttgart, has
brought forward a new bleaching agent
which he calls ozonin. It is prepared by
dissolving y parts Of hydrate of potash in
1861 parts of water, to which 125 parts OF
resin are added after boiling the solution.
To this mixture are added first $50 parts
oil of turpentine, and then 1861 parts per.
oxide of hydrogen. The product thus OBJ.
tanned is ozonin, bleaching agent more
powerful than either turpentine or perox.
ide of hydrogen alone. DR.. Schreiner
says that a solution of one part Of ozonin
in LOCO parts OF water will form a power.
full textile bleach, and that the solution
also has disinfecting and antiseptic proper
ties of value.-Boston Transcript.

Spearing Eels.

Parties travel along our shore setting
traps for cells at the mouths of brooks,
above salt water. These consist of a roomy
: box OF slass with an inconspicuous en-
trance. The squirmers 90 in and stay in
till they are taken out. Other parties set
pots near the head of the tide. These are
small editions of lobster traps in some re-
spects In the end is tunnel shaped en-
trance very easy to get into. This entrance
is rendered still more effective sometimes
by continuation in the shape of a stock
ing leg, and have seen sharp brads driven
in so as to impale the victim should he poke
his head out the door. These traps are
sunk to the bottom with line and buoy
attached. Horseshoe crabs are considered
the best bait for cells. In the fall they
pass up into rivers and ponds, sometimes
in great numbers, and always in the dark
est nights, then the boys are on deck with
gaffs.
Their winter home is in the slimiest
mud. Some bed in salt mud, Others in the
rivers. At Goose river is spot where cells
are always found just as soon as ice forms.
Strangely enough it is said to be ledge
BY quick work bushei is sometimes
speared out in few minutes. Spearing is
ing for them. An eel spear is built like
Neptune's trident, with wooden handle
twelve to twenty feet long. With it the
fisherman repairs to the river, if in tide
water, at low water. In the fall boat is
used. In the winter the ice is cut in
semicircle, then with one clip the project
ing tongue is cut off and pushed under
Now the podging begins. The spear is
jabbed in the mud gently; if it meets re-
sistance when pulled out the fisherman
yanks itout like lightning and shakes the
wiggler off on the ice. Sometimes three
or four come out at once.
Very often in this vicinity, near the
wharf and ship yard, an iron bolt, tree
nail, hoop skirt, stove funnel, bag of kit
tens, piece of rigging, gold watch or some
other trifle is hauled out, and by Christmas
time the ice is covered with trash. Eels
move about some in the mud. for some
times they are caught where none was to
be found the day before.-G. w. Singer in
Lewiston Journal.

Many Kinds of Bananas.

There are as many kinds of bananas as
there are kinds of apples-medium sized
ones, such as we see in the north; big ones
foot long; thick ones, almost like small
muskmelons, and little ones only three or
four inches in length. When you visit q
fruit stand fear you are likely to select
the biggest and handsomest bananas you
see, aud there is just where you make a
mistake. The smallest bananas are in
nearly all cases the sweetest and juciest,
the tiny FIG" banana being the best of all.
The rind should be thin, and there should
be no ridges or corners on it. The larger
the ridges the coarser the fruit. a-
The plantain, which is the very coarsest
kind of banana, has enormous ridges. This
species is not fit to eat without being
cooked, but when boiled or baked or fried
it is delicious. Any coarse banana-that
is, one having a thick rind with large
ridges-is good for cooking. All bananas
contain starch while green, which upon
ripening is changed by natures wonderful
chemistry into sugar.-C. De KAlb in Har-
per's Young People.

AN ALLEGED DYNAMlTER.
Why Brooklyn Policeman Arrested
a Man,

BROOKLYN, Dec. lO.-At the instance of
Jacob Beck, Officer Voorhis yesterday ar
rested bleary-eyed, short, thick-set man,
shabbily dressed, with long, shaggy hair
who gave his name as George Landix
When he was taken TO the station Beck
charged him with offering him (Beck) and
iour other men $500 if they would consent
10 aid him in blowing up the banking
house of Edwin Sanders, No. 2l2 Broad
way, New York
Beck added that he said he had in his
possession nine pounds of dynamite and
could get plenty more.
Landix said that he had saved $500,
nearly all Of which he spent on doctors
bills last summer, and then lost his posi-
tion. Later he purchased of Sanders a
City of Hanover bond, for which he paid
s12. He afterwards tried TO resell the
bond TO Sanders for less than he paid him
for il, and when Sanders refused, Landix
believed he had been swindled. and re
turned to Brooklyn in "A very furious state
of mind, and talked very freely of the
affair. He denied however, that he had
ever used the word dynamite in connec-
tion with Sanders
AS the patrol wagon was on its way to
Lee avenue police Court it was followed
by mob of yelling people who i'm some
way had heard that a big dynamiter had
been captured.

DOVER, y. H., Dec. 10.-The information
that Isaac B. Sawtell was refused a new
trial by the Supreme Court of the State
was known in this city at abont half past
seven this evening. The opinion cf the
Judges was sent from Concord in the

csion was written i'm the handwriting OF

read simply "the petition for new trial

HUNGRY FLAMES.
They Licked Up $4,000 at Man
Vile,

About o o'clock last night a disastrous
fire broke out in the attic of four-tene'
ment house owned by Joseph Guertain,
at Manville, which resulted in nineteen
families being turned out into the street.
The flames spread rapidly, aud soon com
municated with buildings on each side,
completely destroying three houses. There
is practically no protection against fire in
the place. The total loss to buildings and
furniture will be about $4,000. The occu-
pants of the tenements were French Cana
dians.
II is thought that the fire was caused by
the overturning of Kerosene oil lamp in
the attic of house owned by Joseph
Guertin. An alarm was sounded from
the mill bell, and the people rushed To the
scene. The blaze made such headway
that il was impossible to save much of the
furniture. At 9:30 o'clock the Woonsocket
fire department was sent for. and Chief
Neil and Foreman Barber, with hook and
ladder company, quickly responded
Steamer No. | also went to the scene
Some delay was experienced i'm getting
water on the blaze. The Manville people
teephoned that they had sufficient hose
but on the arrival of the steamer it was
found that they had not. Finally more
was secured, and soon after 1890 two
streams of water were playing on the
blaze and the department probably saved
considerable property by wetting down
adjacent buildings.
The only casualty reported was that of
Victor Paulin, who was rescued from a
burning building with an arm broken.

Last evening about 6oclock what nearly
resulted in murder, the outcome of a
wrestling match, took place on Olneyville
square, at the corner of Manton avenue.
The victim of the assault was the son OK
John Brown. living on the Merino plat in
Johnston. As far as could be learned the
circumstances are as follows The assail-
ant and another young man, whose names
are vet unknown, were disputing over
their prowess as wrestlers when il was de

They retired To an open field Just above
the horsecar barn on Hartford street, and
Brown was taken along 10 act ~ referee,
the stakes being 81 30 "a side. The match

wound on the side of the neck, one-eighth
of an inch from the jugular vein.
DIR. O'Keefe attended the injured per-

that nothing was learned of il until thi
morning when an investigation was made
by Sergt. IL9lbrook aud Officer Moan.
They are now on the track Of the fellow
