LETT CONTINUE

Ia his great speech at the Weldon
Fair. Rev. Thos, Dixon SAID tuat
the Farmers Alliance was destined
to do great good in the lana
through the spirit of Gods gospel 10
man which teaches the christian
brotherhood Of the world "bear ye
one onother's burdens and so fulfil
the law Of Christ
While we do not believe that men
ought to be encouraged to look to
other people to take care OF them
We do commend the spirit Of the fol-
lowing from the Plymouth Beacon
The Farmers Alliance Of tails
county held county meeting at
Mackey's Ferry On Friday last. a
Jorge number WAS present. and much
business transacted. One OF the
most conmendable acts that we have
set heard of the Alliance doing was
done on that day. A poor farmer
having given q mortgage on bis
home, soon after became afflicted
and was unable to raise tie mort
gage, so his property WAS to be sole
and he and bis family tarned upor
the world. Learning Of this fact
he Alliance at IT'S meeting on FRIDAY
took up collection among its nem
oers to help this brother ID his dis
tress, and 10 the surprise of many
money enough was raised to pay OF
the mortgage md interest," whicI
we learn has been done, and tn
home presented to It's former o"ne
as a token of their brotherlY love.

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hoods Sarsaparil "a
over other preparations, as shown by the
remarkable cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm Of G. [. Hood & 20.
is thoroughly competent and experience
ed pharmacist. having devoted his whole
life to the study and actual preparation
of medicines. He is also member OF
the Massachusetts, and American Phc--
maceutical Associations, and continues
actively devoted to supervising the prep
aration Of and managing the business
connected with, Hoods Sarsapariila.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit Of Hoods Sarsapsrilia IS built up
on the most substantial foundation. lr
its preparation there is represented al
the knowledge which modern research II
! medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, braln-worN, ant
experiment. 1t is only necessary to CIV
this medicine a fair trial to realize it
great curative value.

A DEMOCRATIC BABY.

1t is relief to the people who so
kindly and earnestly interest them
selves in the matter that the CLEvE-
LAND baby has been named so prompt
ly. The solicltude that was expanding
itself among the nomenclature of all
languages to determine what name
shouId-be given place now has a rest.
Perhaps there is disappointment with
some, as they look over the catalogue of
names allotted princesSes usually, that
so simple and plain selection has been
made. But 1t will meet the approval of
all who love republican simplicity.
None could be more appropriate for
the untitled American princess. 1t
has the merit of brevity, and is one
of the few names that can have no pos
sible nickname or namby-pamby con-
tortiOn. 1t has come down the ages
fragrant with the perfume of pastoral
life and the type of the highest wom-
anly qualities. There is no Scriptural
name so peculiarly identified with the
sweetness of domestic life. The selec-
ton may be pronounced singularly
felicitouS one, and may be credited in
chief measure to the presence of the
quiet, homely virtues of life in the fam
lily. 1t was unavoidable that the thou
sands who generously offered their own
favorite names should suffer some dis
appointment. 1t is eminently demo-
cratic name. If it shall be allowed to
stand alone, with no middle name, there
will be a further exhibition of good
taste. 1t is becoming the approved and
excellent custom to give girls but one
name, so that on taking husband the
wife's family name may be retained.
RUTH CLEVELAND JONES, or whatever
the added name on entering wedlock, is
a combination explanatory and fitting.
Perhaps the unrefiecting have hest
tated to quite approve of the sex of the
CLEVELAND scion. But that would be
an ungraciOus and ill-adjusted criti-
cism. PartisanShip is not exactly timely
i'll the connection, but girl babies are
historically and additionally Demo-
cratic institution. The great public
men of the nation, especially Demo-
Gratis. have left only girl babies. GEORGE
WASHINGTON set an example with no
son. There were only girls in the fam
lily of the first Democratic president,
JEFFERSON. Gen. JACKSON had no son.
The distinguished Democrat at the
head of the supreme court has bright
and sweet galaxy of daughters, without
rude masculine intruder. This char
acteristic is believed to be prevalent
among the men who have usually led the
Democratic hosts. If POLK or PIERCE
left sons, the fact has escaped no.
tice. BUCHANAN and TILDEN pru-
IDENTIFY avoided danger of disturbing
party presidents. Twice have presi-
dents been elected because they had a
father or grandfather, but they were
not Democrats. This could not have
happened under the Democratic prac-
tice. No instance is recalled where a
Democratic president has had the morti-
fication Of son putting his foot into
things absurdly, like one needless to
name. In short, the CLEVELAND cpl
sode is in all its aspects one safe, felic-
itous, patriotic and Democratic.

THE LORD ONLY KNOWS.

Senator DAVIS says that another
great issue, subordinate, however, to
the force bill, is the currency question.
He declared himself as unflinching in
his devotion to honest money. And what
is honest money? Honest money is that
which is stable in value because its
value depends on the commodity Of
which 1t is made, and not on legislative
enactments or DEGREES. Here are his
own words:
mo two men by agreement, and no BODY
Of men by legislative fat, can add single
iota to the value of anything. The attempt
he's always resulted in general distress and
often in financial national RUM
This is the position of Senator DAVIS
and the Republican party on the cur
rency question.
Did Senator DAVIS and the Republi-
can party vote for or against the SHEER
MAN law of July IA, 1890? They voted
for it. What is the SHERMAN law of
July IA, 1890? 1t provides, in general.
for the purchase of 100000 ounces of
silver bullion per month and their COIN
age into silver dollars. What is the

this law? Sometimes they are worth

A FARMERS FAMILY.

In connection with the lecture of Rev.
j. NJ. Cleary at Cretin hall this evening,
the following from the Elkhorn (Wis.)
independent will be interesting: More
than forty years ago Thomas Cieary set
tied on a little farm of fifty acres in the
OF La Fayette, Walworth county. In
the course Of time six boys were grow
ing up at the old homeste ad. The or
binary farmers boy life was theirs.
Ihey assisted their parents by their
laOorS, and in return received their
humble living and sufficient advantages
III the common schools to incite to
higher education.
Times were hard and money scarce,
but by earnest efforts and sacrifices of
the parents. normal, colleg late, theolog-
ical, medical and legal information was
obtained, and each now is following the
profession his training fitted him for.
Six stalwart sons, all making their
find in one family, but Thomas Cleary
and wife can look with pride upon
their boys" as upon those who have
been successful beyond the dream of
farmer boys lives, or the most sanguine
hopes and expectations of ordinarily
fond parents. Their names, residences
and occupations are as follows:
Rev. Father Cleary, Kenosha, the
noted Catholic priest and temperance
advocate.
Prof. Francis Cleary, Kenosha, prin-
cipal of high school, one of the best
teachers in the state.
Dr.J. L. Cieary, Kenosha, member of
the state board of control.
Joseph Cleary, New Rockford, n. D.,
states attorney.
Dr.. M. Cleary, Galena, physician.
Thomas l.. Cleary, Platteville, Wis,
district attorney, Grant county.
The aged parents are still peacefully
living on the home farm, looking out
to the world where the boys are achiev-
ing fame and success, happy in their
frequent visits, and rejoicing that their
sons have succeeded so we'll.
