Election Row at Ecklund,

There seems to have been a spirited
school election at Ecklund, in Burleigh
county, which township is divided in two
factions. On election day, Oscar W.
Ecklund challenged the vote of Mrs. AL
bert Richards. 1t is claimed the chal-
lenge was entered to delay several votes,
as it was nearly time to close the polls.
However, the scheme-if such it was
did not work, as E. H. Richards, brother
in-law of Albert, promptly knocked Eek
lund down. Several others participated
in the manly art, but only in the first
case has any complaint been entered.
Sheriff Donnelly went down on Friday
last to serve a warrant on MI. Richards,
who vas absent from home when the
sheriff put in m ppearance. The next
day, Albert Richards, his brother, ap-
peared before Judge Chase and plead
guilty for his brother, to the charge of
assault and battery and paid a fine of S.
and costs, amounting to something over
$l4. The two factions have been at ,ur.
gerheuds with each other for some time.
but this is the first time they resorted to
blows to settle their political %grievan-
COS.

Of cotton had disappeared. and
from that hour TO this the United
States government has never been
able TO find dollars worth of il.
-Four persons who owned a swift
ship that sailed from Halifax the
evening of April 8, 1865, could tell
where it went TO if they were dis
posed to do so, and were al alive.
But all ionr who planned this
mighty coup are dead but one, who
is an old man now in a northern
city, AMI rich. Among the four
were two men who were noted in
those days for their wealth and
devotion 10 the Union, and two
southern men. One of them held
high confidential position at the
Confederate capital and the other
was prominent confidential Eu-
ropean agent of the Confederate
government. They made on the
short sale of bonds not less than
Sl2,000,000, and on the cotton
about S3,000,000 more. In other
words, the four ''landed" about $4,-
600 900 apiece, less expense, which
was not over $4,000 each for The
four. Such is one of the curious
inside incidents of the great war.

ResOIuting Themselves Out Of the
Democratic Party.
Tate County Record.

Tate County Record.
Some of the county Alliances
throughout The State are passing
resolutions that they will not sup.
port any one for office who does
not endorse The Ocala platform.
Now the only material difference
we know of between The Demo
cratic platform and the 0cala plat
form is the Sub-treasury measure.
While The Democratic party has
not taken action upon this meas
ure IN national conyention, near
ly all the prominent statesmen be-
longing 10 the party, have pro-
nounced The measure not onl Y un-
constitutional, but dangerous in
The extreme, so that it is generally
admitted that The Democratic par
ty will reject The measure, or fail to
incorporate il in The platform of
the party. The question then very
naturally arises, what is it that
constitutes a party! 1t is not the
platform of principles and ideas
w a oCt vi ulClI vi as
sembly of people. Wherein lies
the difference between the Repub-
lican party and the Democratic
party, if it Is not the principles
announced ia their national plat
formss If then the principles pro-
mulgated by an association or an
organization OF any character con
sii;utes a party organization, and
the Democratic party refuses 10
adopt the Sub-treasury scheme,
and The Alliance does adopt it as
a party measure and resolve 10
vote for no one for office who will
not support such measure, are not
the party lines then clearly drawn,
and is not the Alliance of Missis-
sippi thus arrayed against The
Democracy of the State?
Such is the inevitable result
and because of this stale of affairs,
which we have seen looming mp
for some time, we have continued
TO warn our brethren OF the ALI
ance TO go very slow, and consider
their action we'll before they cut
alooi from the only stay and hope,
as we think, for our southland, the
Grand Old National Democratic
party.

Col. Polk, The President of the
National Alliance, will be, no
doubt, the most astonished man in
The country when he reads the
open letter written by Mr.. Frank
McGralh, President of the Kansas
State Alliance, peremptorily de-
manding that the members of the
Southern Altar ce shall break
away from the Democratic party,
failing in which, he threatens that
the farmers of The Northwest will
return 10 their old allegiance, 10
the Republican party, and the era
of good feeling between The sec
tions be thus postponed for anolh.
er generation. Col. Polk in all the
interviews he has recently submit
ted to has been so cOmplacently
cock-sure of the Alliance as an
organization that could moi be dis
rupted that this threat of McGrath's
will be like a bomb shell in the
effect it will have 10 shatter and
break all his hopes and dissipaie
what he regards as his certainties.
McGrath seems tn be In lament,
and The only question that occurs,
very important one 10 be sure, is
Has he any tangible authority
thus 10 threaten And this other
question will oblrude itself if that
one is answered in the affirmative,
What becomes Of the boasted prin-
clples of The Alliance if thus they
can all be knocked in the head so

The President of a subordinate

interest of the Repub ublican party!
And what is to become of "Sock

this program of McGrath's is car

WHY Pickles ARE so CALLED
Everybody knows what a picnic is,
but most folks would find it hard
how it got that name, and yet it is
simple enough when you come 10
learn it. When a picnic was be-
ing arranged for The custom origi-
nally was that those who intended
to be present should supply the
eatables and drinkables. A list of
those necessaries having been
drawn up, it was passed around,
and each person picked out the
articles of food or drink that he or
she was willing 10 furnish, and the
name OF the article was nicked or
licked off on the list. The open
air entertainment thus became
known as ''plck and nick" The
custom is said to date from 1862,
so that the picnic is wholly an in
siiiulion of The nineteenth century.
As started, it must have strongly

DO GOOD.
BY FRANCIS s. SMITH.

The miser boards bis golden store,
And views his wealth with pride
He counts his millions DER and DER,
And has no joy beside.
He star es himself from day to day,
And shivers in the cold,
And finds his recompense alway
In feasting on his gold.
The reckless spendthrift profigatc
Has his peculiar view,
He daily squanders his estate
In seeking pleasures new.
He wastes his precious time and healtl
In vain pursuits that cloy-
Thus does he throw away his wealth,
And thus he finds his joy.
And each from poverty is free,
Though neither can secure
That blessing born of sympathy
With fellow mortals poor.
The Chrst-like part of man is shown
In acts of brotherhood
The only solid pleasure known
Is that of doing good.
