THE CLOvEN HOOP.

1t Is not such an ALFRED easy
thing to practice deception as some
people suppose. Statistics would
probably show that 80 per cent Of
those who engage in practicing de-
ception only succeed in deceiving
themselves. Liars, that Is, gifted
and successful liars, are like poets
born, not made; and they are fully
as rare. We know this by experience,
| When we solemnly assured our
mother we had not been in swim.
ming, contrary to orders, she had
only TO remove our hat to find our
wet and disheviled locks, which told
all to plainly that we were lying,
and fool for thinking we could de-
ceive our dear old mother.
About a full dozen Of newspapers
that come to the exchange table OF
this Office are fully as foolish as the
boy who tells him mother he has not
been in swimming, when his very
hair makes him out q liar. We re-
fer to the Democratic papers OF this
state that are trying to palm them
selves Off on the people as Alliance
organs.
What fools!
The ass failed i'm his attempt TO
disguise himself rs a lion, the wolf
could not successfully masquerade
in sleeps clothing, and the jackdaw
was repudiated by his own kind
after an unsuccessful attempt to
palm himself as peacock. Any at
tempt Of Democratic newspapers to
make believe, to counterfeit some
thing else is as futile and as ridicul-
Gus as the bird and animals Of the
fables. When the Farmers Alliance
and Peoples Party movement arose
in Kansas, the lean and hungry or
gans OF Democracy saw In 1t q gold.

time TO revel in Office and grow fat
on plumber, and so they went, al
most with one accord, over into the
new party. Insomuch has this
change come that II is q rare thing
to find an honest and outspoken ex-
ponentof Democracy In the state.
Now comes the ridiculous part OF
the whole business. Without q |
single exception these organs have
taken with them into the new party |
their old marks, and taiuts, aud OPP
position ideas-principles they have
none, nor never had. What these
papers were two years ago they are
to day, they are anything that
promises success for the Democratic
party and spoils for themselves.
Some of them even hold their posi-
lions on Democratic committees and
no one protests, as the editor of the
Ellsworth Messenger for instance.
By degrees they become holder and
holder, and palm off ideas upon the
public which all conventions Of any
note Of the new party have repudi-
ated. The same old free trade, free
and anything to defeat the
party howl Is their
and talism. Some Of

THE REFoRM EpIroR


The Reform Editor playeth the
ace for all there is in IL.
He useth his power as an officer OF
the law to steer legal notices to his
own newspaper i'm order that he may
some day become rich and q pluto
crat.
He getteth a commission on all
badges and the like which he can
dispose Of to the sub-allianees.
He is daisy washed with the dew
Of early morn, and his enemies are
In the soup.
No flies sbideth on him by day,
nor mosquitoes trouble his slumbers
at night. n. B.-Insects like other
forms Of life choose their own COM
pany.
He bloweth about the "pestilence
that stalketh forth at noon day" and
Of the famine that getteth in its
work at night, and then proceedeth
to line his pockets with the gold
earned by the sweat of his SUBJ
scribers's brows.
When The enemy convicteth him
Of lying or ignorance, he openeth
not his bazoo, partly because he is
afraid he Will get his foot into it, II
he does, and partly because "silence
is golden"
He never lieth at all-except about
the other fellows, howbeit that IL
the principal theme for his pen
He exortheth all to -faithfulness,
and when nobody looketh, unsheath-
es long knife and stabbeth persons
he liketh not in the back, just the
same as anybody else.
He calleth the fellow "a human
hyena" who punctureth the fiimsy
skin Of his windy wailings of woe.
He walketh forth among men with
a solemn and pious looking counten-
ance rs long as a boot-jack, but in
his heart are unutterable swear
words, envyings, hatred, malice, and
fouIm after of all kinds.
He ever preacheth by precept
against Hypocrisy" and yet he il

In short he is sham man preach

Melbourne, the rain wizard, began
operations at the fair ground in this
city on Wednesday, under contract
to furnish n good rain in Sherman
county. He was to have commenced
on Tuesday afternoon, but owing to
the strong wind which was blowing
at the time, he concluded to wait
until Wednesday morning, hoping
that the wind would abate. The
wind kept right on blowing, how
ever, and on Wednesday Melbourne
went into his private apartments at
the fair ground, and the natives
have been anxiously looking for his
rain ever since. "Wednesday eve-
ming clouds began to gather over
head, and many thought that by
Thursday morning Melbourne's rain
would be coming down in torrents.

be that il Is impossible for Mel

NOBLE l.. PRENTIs gives us this
week an interesting account OF an
ancient bandit of the Mississippi
valley, and some of the viceisitudes
the "perfesh" met with in those
times. 1t will be seen that when the
robber got paper money he was
not necessarily rich. This was the
money of the "good old Democratic
days" that you read about, and hear
some back number individuals sigh
for. 1t was such money as the peo-
pies party wants to flood the country
with. Then the burglars tools ref
erenee is a vindication of the Re-
publican policy Of protection. In
those days such delicate and withal
potent instruments as burglars tools
could not be made in America. In
der the protective policy, however,
we can make anything, and in fact
do produce everything we need.
When it comes to such q pass that
even the profession of out lswry is
forced to pay tribute to the greatness
and goodness of party, Ii has that
quality about 1t that even the devil
cannot prevent its success.

siderable substance and fifty years
Of labor that the poorest might have
lands and homes, has died in an
Ohio poor house.
Where were the alliances, the

charity emblazoned all over them,

hour Of supreme need? Is it right
that the man who opened up these

say, Is IL right? Does not such dis
parity Of condition show that there
Is something wrong in the system
under which we live? When, In
this land Of princely opulence, OF
untold wealth, a man Is reduced to
such extremity, who can be so blind
as not to see that legislation has

which Is running riot In an empire
OF riches almost fabulous, a common
