ern people, to keep a solid North for
them to gorge and fatten on, but thank
the stars we have, as the saying goes,
got our eyes open. We have found
to our sorrow that waving the bloody
shirt fails to bring money in our pock-
cts. We are henceforth going to vote
for Betoy and Bake. We voted that
way this fall and were well pleased.
We shall try it again.
We wero glad that Bro. L, L Polk,
our beloved President, was again
elected to that Office, May God bless
him in his noble efforts for reunited
country. If the Alliance fails may
God of Heaven tell us what will unite

X" WHAT impressed you most at the
Ocala meeting, and what do you re
gard as it's most important action 2"
was asked w. H. Worth, our State
Agent He replied: "The thing
that most impressed me was the
hearty and unanimous endorsement
and election of our honored President
Polk. 1t was worth the trip to see
what strong feeling of confidence
and affection the almost entire con-
vention had for President Polk. The
re-sdOption or endorsement of the
Sub Treasury plan was, in my opinion,
one of the most important actions of
the body. One of the most important
results of our meeting was the bring
ing together of representative men
from all parts of the country. Their
acqu Gintances with each other, and
seeing that the legislation needed for
each section was identically the same,
and their determination to stand by
their convictions as to what they
thought to be right.

AT the conclusion of President
Folks address, the Alliance resolved
itself into sort of Glove feast" dur,
ing which G. A. Power, an old Union
soldier from Indiana, moved that all
ex-Union soldiers in the hall, who
endorsed the sentiments expressed in
the speech of President Fouths, of
South Dakota, with reference to the
burial of section slism, rise up to be
counted. The motion prevailed, and
between forty and fifty stood up, amid
the widest enthusiasm. Under the
inspiration of this good feeling, an ex
Union soldier from Wisconsin stood
up in his seat and called upon all
Union soldiers present to give three
cheers for the old Confederates in the
Alliance. They were given with a
will Then it was the Confederates'
turn, and they cheered the old sol
diers of the Union with 3 voluminous
heartiness that raised no doubt as to
genuineness of their feeling. The
cheers were mingled with the wild,
old fashioned " Rebel yell" and as its
echoes died away, one aged veteran
of the Confederacy shouted in a voice
that rang out clearly through the hall:
"That's the genuine article, I've
heard it afore."

a Darkaned Sun.

The annual eclipse Of the sun is
looked for June 9Th, ana will arrive,
unless solar connections are missed in
some manner. The almauacs state that
it will be visible as partial eclipse in
the Northwest. and it would therefore
seem wise if amateur observers were to
lay in a stock Of smoked glass and
prepare to watch the darkening Of the
sun while the sooty glass darkens their
faces And as the sun seldom if eyer
misses connections, there is no doubt
that the event will come off as billed,
the sun resembling. in that particular,

preferable. For information write to

Our Bows and Girls.

We talk much about the duties of
parents to children. We want to re-
we're the question and say word as to
the duties of children to parents
The first duty which the child owes to
his parents is a happy acceptance of the
favors which parent gives. The
father and mother love more than the
child loves, God has so made the parent
and the child that the parents love is
stronger than the child's. The parent.
therefore, finds great joy in giving to
the child. Some insects willingly lay
up food for offsprings which they shall
never see. They do this by an uncon-
scious impulse. But the parent JOY
ously ]abors and sacrifices for son or
daughter, In their turn son and
daughter should as Joyously accept
these tavors. Life they thus accept.
ALL helpfulness they should thus accept.
The son or the daughter is despising
father and mother when their gifts are
refused.
A second duty which the child owes
to the parent is Obed1enc CO. The parent
has the right to command. OF course
the command should be based upon the
right and the true. But because the
reason of the parent is superior to the
reason of the child, because the expert
ence Of a parent is broader than the
experience of the child, it becomes the
duty Of the child to obey. To obey the
command Of parent is a suepping stone
to the obedience of the command OF
God Himself. Disobedience to the
command oil a parent is to foster that
self-indulgence which destroys the
vlgor of manhood or Womanhood.
Obedience to the command of the par
emit develops that self-restraint which
is the cause Of noble vigor in manly and
woman character.
A third duty children owe to parents
is that Of appreciation. Common is the
remark that children do not appreciate
their parents until they become parents
themselves. True is the remark as it is
common. But each child should do all
that is possible to regard with full re-
gard the endeavors of his parents.
When you, dear readers, stand by the
grave of your father, and hear the thud
of the sod upon that coffin lid. YOU will
know. as you have never known before.
that he has been far better father to
you than you thought. When at. last
you stand by the casket of her who in
pain gave you life, and your lips kiss
those white lips that never before re
fused their kiss Of love to YOU, and when
upon the silver hair your fingers inger
for the last time you will know that
your mother has been q good mother TO
you. Appreciate YOUR mother and your
father while they are with you.

A number Of strikes have taken place
recently among tradesmen at Kilrush,
The men on the South Clare Railway
first struck, next the local tailors, and
now the coopers have struck work for
an increase in their present scale of
wages. The demand made by the men
is an advance from Sd to Sd per hrkin
for those constantly employed, and for
chose who are only engaged temporarily
at the busy season demand Of 10d per
firken is made. Owing to the unani-
nifty of opinion which prevails among
the strikers. there is no doubt but the
employers will grant some concessions.
AS it is, two Of them have expressed
their assent to the increase demanded.
