As IN old woman who has raised
large family, who have had to go out
and grapple with these wicked condi-
tions, tremble for their future, unless
the producers fall into line and vote to-
gether to regain their lost rights.
The farmer and labor organizations
have consolidated upon a platform of
principles. Read them carefully, and
ask yourself if there is any other escape
but to stand together under their banner
against the cohorts Of plutocracy, trusts,
monopolies and combines that are suck
ing the life-blo of this country.

HARD TIMES.
More Comforts Produced Than Ever BE-
fore Yet Poverty on Every Hand.
No doubt many of our readers have
been much interested in the sketch
Hard Times" by Dickens. All of our
readers perhaps are much more inter-
ested in the solution of mooted questions
concerning the peculiar condition of
Hard Times" which now confront
them. Everyone is battling with the
monster. hard times, yet our country is
far wealthier than ever before. There
are more of the necessaricS. the comforts
and the luxuries OF life produced in the
United States than ever before,
and still the cry of the poverty stricken.
the distressed and the unemployed goes
up from nearly all over the land. The
evidence of the ravages of hard times is
on every hand. 1t is useless to chronicle
his achievements: it is tale of woe and
people usually do not desire pitiful
stories. But a universal brotherhood
has sprung into life. quickened by ne
cessity, in which the injury of one is in
reality the injury of all, and united
effort is being made to mete out justice
to all.
The prime and the immediate cause
of the present hard times is scarcity Of
money. A decrease in it's circulation
among all the people is as injurious to
the body polite as congestion to the
human system.
Opponents of the alliance say: "Oh.
there is no scarcity of money: you can
sell cotton, corn, wheat, flour. pork and
everything farmer produces: bring on
your stuff, here's your money and thou
sands left"
Now let's see il there is sufficient money
in actual circulation. First, what
amount of money will be required to
handle the produce usually likely to be
marketed? For the year 1883 we re-

Three Costly HOthOuSeS.

This is the season of the year when the
great army of gardeners employed by
New York's m~illionaires who have a fad
for flowers are putting their lighthouses in
shape for the winter. met Jay GOulds
chief gardener yesterday and he told me
that everything was in excellent shape
at the railroad kings $500, 900 dollhouse
up the Hudson. A lot of choice plants
and exOtics have just arrived from India
and other eastern countries.
John Hoey's difficulties have not de-
tered him from looking after his pet
flowers in his grand lighthouses at Holly
wood, n. J. | am told his chief gardener
has had several conferences with Mr..
Hoey during the past two weeks about
his favorite flowers and their care. Mr..
HOey is ~passiOnately fond Of flowers, and
selects the seeds and bulbs himself. and
at times su]perintends the work of his
gardeners.
Another man who has a half a million
dollar hothCuse is the Standard Oil king,
John D. Rockefeller, who has Il palace on
the Hudson. It has not been completed
long and his gardeners are constantly re-
ceiving new additions. Mr.. Rockefeller
says he will have the finest flower show
in the world in a year or tWo.-New York

Crime

All the criminal returns published of
late have happily tended to show that
crime is decreasing. The judicial sta
tistics for the past year bear the same
testimony. Whether under the head of
criminal classes at large or Gin local
and convict prisons and reformatories,"
the figures show Il steady decline. The
same is tru of the houses of bad char
acter, by which is meant such as are
the resort Of thieves, depredators and
suspected persons. In England and
Wales there are 2,689 houses Of this de-
scription.
It seems rather odd to be told that of
these 345 are public houses and 265 beer
shops, because if they are known resorts
of such characters, why are their licenses
not withdrawn: Is it for the reason
once given by a French administrator
that they serve the ends Of the law by
providing places where those who are
wanted by the police can easily be
found? The known houses of receivers
Of stolen goods had declined from IT'S
two years ago to 724 last year.-London

Eound Him at Last.

She had been away all summer. The
mountains had felt her stately tread
the sea had taken her to its ever chang
ing bosom and folded her in its blllowy
! arms.
She had firted from Old Point to Ban
Harbor, from Mount Mitchell to the
Adirondacks.
She had tasted the sweets of hope; she
had drained the bitter cup of disappoint-
ment.
Now she is at home again.
Home, the Mecca of the weary pill
grim; the Canaan beyond the wilder
ness; the altar around which we all
kneel in t~hankfulness; the dear walls
which take us to their loving embrace
and hide US from the cOmfOrtless world
without.
Home again, and a peace had come to
her she had never known since she had
gone out in June as the birdlet from its
nest.
At the front door her dear old father,
who had been at his desk ten hours daily
all the weary while she was away, met
her.
my daughter..' he said, holding out
his arms to her.
Like a tired wanderer, foOtsore and
heartsick, she came to him.
Trustingly, confdingly, restfully, she
laid her soft white face, in its frame of
golden hair, upon his bosom.
"At last" she murmured, cat last [
have found some one to be a pepper
to me-"
And the dear old father, in the tumul-
tuous joy of having his darling child
again, didn't catch on.-Detroit Free

Rewards to the Good and Bad.

Every schoolgirl and boyin Bellmore,
l.. l., knows Lawyer George A. Mott.
A few days ago he visited the village
school in that place with the pockets of
his overcoat bullying out with prizes for
the pupils. The prizes were for good
conduct and excellence in different
studies. More than a dozen boys and
girls were made happy. Two prizes
still remained, and then Mr.. Mott re-
quested the teacher, Miss Fish, to ca1
up the worst boy in the school. A bright
eyed urchin named Clinton Moore was
produced by Miss Fish in response to Mr..
Motifs request. He was presented with
one of the remaining prizes and promised
to try to do better. When Mr.. Mott
asked for the worst girl in the school
saucy Jennie Hicks raised her hand. She
received the other prize.-New York

WET OR DRY?
Charlotte Has an Interesting Prohibition
Puzzle.

CHARLOTTE, Dec. 1.-THE liquorques,
ton continues the sensation of the hour
here. Ever since Tuesday morning
Squire MaxwelIs "temple of JUSTICE has
been jammed and packed to suffocation
by all classes of citizens.
Some eight or ten lawyers are in front
of the five county commissioners with
stacks Of books piled upon tables by their
sides. 1t is a great legal fight, all for
naught. The commissioners sit leisurelv
and look wise while the disciples of
Blackstone are displaying their rhetoric
eloquence and much learning.
Nobody expects them to grant any.
body a license now and it is regarded as
a waste Of time and words to prolonc
the arguments. The liquor men are GER.
tainly batfied and know o what to do.
Yesterday and to dav has been con
sumed in hearing the arguments pro and
con on the application of G. w. Norman
for a renewal of his liquor license.
Norman was put up as a model liquor
man, but already eight kids under age
have testified to the good quality of
liquors sold over his counters. Capt.
Brimstead Burwell, one of the council
for liquor men, to day proposed to Sc
lect the advice of the attorney general of
the state on the matter, but f. T. Can
slef, representing the anti barroom ele
ment, declined to accept the proposition,
and created a sensation by saying that
he was aware of the fact that city off
Gals were trying to induce state officials
and the chairman of The democratic ex.
ecutlVe committee to throw a bomb shell
OF warning into the county commission
ers campaign and tell them that if they
did not grant license that the county
would go republican at the next election.
Mr.. Ponder declined to tell anv names,
1t has been many a long dav since such
a sensation was created here and God
only knows what the outcome will be.
Some declare that the city board of al
dermen will grant license and tell the
county commissioner TO go TO Halifax.
There is some sentiment in favor of a
d~ispensary on the order of the one estab-
lished some months at Athens, Ga.
Squire s. H. Hilton, who is the hero OF
the whole business, is as cool as Il cucum-
Der in June. All applicants SO far are
not only being refused license, but are
furnishing some very important material
for grand jury work. 1t really looks
like some devilment could be proven
against a saint should one apply.

Something More from the Orange County
Observer of Colonel Carr's Rancho.
A description of a model sheep barn,
as Just completed at Occoneechee farm
may not be amiss to the readers of this
paper. The building is entirely of frame
with single roof, closed on the north,
= east and west side, but entirely opened
on the south. The dimensions are width
30 feet, height of first floor 7 feet, height
of second floor 6 feet under caves at
front, 4 feet under caves at back and IL
feet to the ridge of the roof On the
first floor a hay-rick is constructed run
ming through the centre of the house to
within 4 feet of each side, the bottom Of
which is ~ inches above the ground and
faring to a width of 4 feet to the second
floor, a salt trough placed under and on
both sides, allows the sheep to feed all
around the rick, giving feed room to $50
sheep. On the enclosed sides Of the
house, it is so partitioned as to allow the
separating Of part of the flock from
others. Three rooms of small size and
two of larger size, leave the front entirely
for the use Of the greater part of the flock.
q flight of steps lead to the second floor
through the middle of which is an
open space, the length Of the hay rick
below-fOr the purpose of feeding, with
a walk on each side and railing which
prevents the hay and fodder ~ubstructing
the passage way. A sharp picket fence
enclOses the house and large yard. The
fence is 8 feet high, at the bottom a
trench Is inches deep was dug filled
with small broken stones cOmpactly
rammed, and affords absolute protection
aginst dogs.
Another marked and handsome i'm
provement of the %colonels, is the erection
of a magnificent stone gate wall. The
form of the wall is straight for one half
its distance and a quadrant of a circle
the remaining distance, with 6 circular
pillars extending beyond the line of the
wall at regular intervals, all of which are +
6 feet high with the exception of the end
pillars finishing the curves, which are 4
feet high. The wall between the pillars
is lower than at each end s~urmounted by !
stones placed on edge, each 4 in hes
thick, but of different heights, being 12
inches and 6 inches high alternately.
The pillars are capped by three round
stones of varying diameters and add a
handsome finish. The stones comprising
the main body of the walls (for there are
two, one on each side of the driveway
were picked up arOun the farm, and are
Of all sorts Of shapes and sizes. They
were laid in cement mortar pointed with
black mortar, and present a striking and
pleasing picture to the eye.

cleaned and extended, a marble basin
