The pemaeogues at Work.

There is no doubt that it is the pur-
pose of the demagogues among
the colored alliancsmen to make
trouble between the cotton growers and
the colored cotton pickers II they can. 1t
is gratifying, however, 20 see that there are
colored alliance leaders who have no sym
patty with the demagogues and who are
condemning their schemes IN the most en-
paatic manner. The leader Of the dema-
gogues appears TO be Humphreys, the su-
perintendent of the colored alliance IN
Texas. From all accounts of him he is
mischief ma zer, who is much more deeply
concerned in advancing his own interests
than in promoting the welfare OF the
organization Of which he is a prominent
member
His scheme to force the cotton growers TO
pay exorbitant prices for having their cot
ton picked is intended, doubtless, to bring
about trouble between the growers and
piekers. because he knows the growers cans
not afford to pay any such price for picking
cotton as that which he urges tia pickers to
demand. At the present prices of cotton
there is no profit In it, and IL the grow
ers could not ge. their cotton picked for less
than 81 per hundred pounds and the board
Of the pickers they would have to leave the
most of it in the fields. They would, there
fore, suffer disastrous losses and the pickers
would be idle.
But it looks as if Humphreys scheme
would not succeed. Leading colored ALI
ancemen in this state and South Carolina,
in whom colored alliancemen have a great
deal of confidence, are advising against the
scheme They are wise enough to see that
| it would be of no benefit to the cotton pickers
and that it would be productive of great
deal of trouble of kind that would be last
! ing in its results,
| Andrew j. Carouthers, whois at the head
| Of the colored alliance in the south, in a
letter referred to in our dispatches yester
day, points out to the colored people that
they have nothing TO gain and everything
to lose by stirring up strife between the
cotton growers and cotton pickers. and he
tells them that at the present prices of cot
ton no cotton grower can afford 60 pay for
picking more than the prevailing prices.
1t is to be regretted that there is not some
method for exposing demagogues so
promptly that it would be virtually i'm
possible for them to do auy harm. 1t is
strange that however reckless the dema-
gogues may be they are certain to have
followers for a short time at least

The Man Who Slept.

II was hot day all over New York, says the
World. but there seemed to be more holiness in
the Broadway cars than anywhere else In one
OF them, which was toiling down town from
Twenty-third street, every man had his hat of
and every woman was tanning herself with any
thing that would create a breeze. AS every
body felt sleepy no one was surprised when a
fat man placed his dove-colored beaver on the
seat beside him and closed his eyes and nodded
at intervals as If some one were pulling a string

have been wondering whether the
steers at home had broken into the cornfeld
or a tin peddler had come along and hooked
that sheepskin nailed up on the corncrib door.
AT any rate, his mind seemed far away as he
sat down alongside the sleeper. He didn't even
mind the noise made as his $50 pound agricult-
ural ayoirdupois flattened that hat as thin as
an old fashioned slapiack. Everybody walked
up and nudged and chuckled and grinned-
but the fat man. He slept until the con-
ductor patheticslly announced that Blocker
street had been reached. He wanted to get off
there. He awoke With a start, jumped to mis-
feet, and called out as the looked around:
where's my hat? Stop the car Here, are

'Mebbe be-" said the man who wanted TO

He held up to view circular object which
would have stopped sixinch stovepipe hole,
with something to spare. IL was the hat.
Blast you, sir, but you've ruined my hat"
shouted the owner.
"Yes-jess so-sat right down on it!' replied
the other.

impatient and the man with the hat had to get

shook his fist and called BACK:

Missad the Train

A gentleman, whose reputation for truth and
veracity was never questioned in business OF
domestic circles, says the National Weekly,
made misstep the other day which came very
near breaking the harmony and other home
commodities. Upon leaving home in the morn
ing, his wife instructed him to return on the
five O'Clock afternoon train, in order to assist in
entertaining some friends who were coming
over to dinner. Our friend did not go into costa
sizes OF delight over the thought of going home
so early that particular evening" as he had al
ready made an appointment TO meet a certain
person that night who was beginning to monop-
Ollie large share of his love and attention, yet
he promised his unsuspecting bride of ten years
that he would return in time for dinner.
The thought of returning home so early in the
for Il Q purI g Of entertaining few neighboring
stills, as he termed tHem. 50 completely IN
fitted him for his business duties that he con-
cluded TO take an inward bath of gin and tansy
to brace him up. One drink followed another
until our friend became somewhat demoralizsd
During the afternoon he bethought himself of
the banquet. and the ''stiffs'' of 5 O'Clock, and
he concluded to telegraph his wife. which he
as follows: Dear Maria-Mssed the o'clock
train. viii come at TO-"
The guests were seated in the parlor; some
were talking OF the weather others chartered
on matters pertainingto politics, others were
engaged in music, etc, when the door bell rang
and the servant announced telegram. The
antiquated yet unwise bride read the MESA ge
and was about to express her regrets that her
husband had missed the train and would be I'M
able to join them at dinner, when a lady re-
marked, He may come yet. as It's only half
past three" Each one of the assem-
bled guests who possessed chro-
nometer referred to it, and thomght
it very strange that the difference in time be-
tween the two cities, eight miles apart. should
be so great. but those who had passed through
the fiery ordeal of a married life of twenty
years merely winked at each other.
The only excuse the husband gave to his wife
the next morning was that his watch had
stopped, and he did not discover it until late in
the evening; but the most solemn thing about
it was that his wife believed him, when she had
the evidence in her fist that would have para,
lyzed him.

According to current western newspaper
report and the statements of deeply con
