SOME oflicious person, probably a
government official, has sent us mark
ed copy of newspaper printed in
Washington called "The Government
Official" In this organ we find several
drives at Blaine. Whether this means
that the Ben Harrison end of the Ad-
ministration is hostile to Blaine we
have not the inside information to ena-
BILE us to state. But here is a specimen
item, we clip from "The Government
Oflicial:"
Editor Government Official:
notice in a recent edition of your paper
that a soldier correspondent desired to
know what Blaine was doing during the
years of the rebellion. AS a reply, permit
me to state that during those memorable
years he was engaged in shooting Off his
mouth,' in the halls of Congress. 1t has
often been stated in Maine and other
newspapers that the Blaines nor any of
their relative did not contribute one dollar
or one recruit in defence of our country.
What a glorious soldier candidate he
would be Ito defeat the Republican party.)

THE wool market; ah, the wool mar
ket. 1t is fat. Wool is lower than it
was year ago, before the chumps of
the Ohio Wool Growers Association
got just the tariff they wanted, in the
Mckinley bill. Now what's the matter
with wool? What's the reason the high
tariff does not help the price. Let us
hear from the chumps now on this sub,
ject. Why are they so silent, when the
real wool growers are so sad. Cannot
the Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Jr, spare a
few sparks of light from his iridescent

THE first number of the PEOPLES Fo-

THE first number of the Peoples Fo-
rum is out. II. Il. Hixson is editor. 1t
is the official organ of the Farmers Al
lance of Stark county. 1t has been
loudly intimated that there is some
Mckinley scheme, Qike the Farmer
Bryan business last falD behind this
newspaper. We do not believe this.
Others say that it will turn out like the
Sunday Herald, start out independent
and then be gobbled up by the boodlers,
who in times past have made the poll
tics of Stark county so disreputable
and disgraceful. When we reflect upon
last falls campaign, and the reputation
OF some of the supposed Democrats
who sold out to Mckinley for spot cash,
we are not surprised that so many OF
our Democratic friends look upon the
Peoples Forum with suspicion.
But let us not lose all faith in human
nature and manly honor, because so
many men are vile, and so many pre-
tended moralists are frauds. We be-
lieve Mr.. Hixson is sincere devotee of
his faith. We prefer to believe in him,
as he looks, talks, acts and writes like a
man of honor. He is sharp, clear cut
writer, and appears to be full of his
subject. AS the Democratic party does
not fear the truth, we feel like extend
ing hearty welcome to all who enter
the arena of economic discussion, with
hearts whole and conscience without
guile. Here Is an extract from the lead

that is just as good as any Democrat
can write.

hundred articles of gold and silver

earlier days of our Republic, before its
glory was spread over 80 much terri

any presents. But since 1t has become

NOT very many southern farmers and

NOT very many southern farmers and
planters attended the Third Party con-
vention in Cincinnati. This is easily
accounted for. In the South "a third
party would naturally become rival of
the Democrats and an ally of the Re
publicans. The southern farmers have
no grievance against the Democratic
party, and hence they look with dis
trust upon anything that threatens to
divide 1t, The new political organiza-
ton OF western farmers is a manifesto
tion of their profound discomfort with
the legislation of the Republican party
The Democratic party is committed
against this legislation, and is bound to
change it, in the interest of the people,
as soon as IL obtains power. Every line
of this class legislation is the work Of
the Republican party; hence it is illogi-
cal for Democratic farmers to leave
their own organization to join new
political force, when their own party is
moving in the same direction.

A SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY.

From a letter written from Yves
ley by Mr.. Joseph Mikeska, address
ed to County Attorney B. S. Rogers
we CLEAN the intelligence of a serious
cutting affray which occurred at q
ball at Wesley Sunday night, OF
rather Monday morning, as the diff
Guilty is said to have occurred at 4
o'clock in the morning.
Messrs. Louis, John and Edward
Wolenta had difficulty with Mr..
Thomas Polashek in which Polashek
was stabbed by Louis Wolenta, re-
ceiying wound in the lungs from
which Dr.. Mclean is accredited
with saying he canEot recover.
In view of this fact Mr.. Mikeska
writes the county attorney to have
complaint filed against them and
have them arrested, the former to
await results Of his assault with the
knife, and the other brothers ON a
charge of assault.
The assailants are residents of this
county near Greenvine. No com
plant had been made Thursday af-
ternoon, Consequently no effort
had been made to arrest the parties.

ring the passing upon accounts and
allowing them, which is not of much
general interest, though intensely
interesting to those who have claims
against the county, nothing of inter
est to the general public occupied

ing the things he had purchased,
and at 4 o'clock accompanied by
Sheriff league, he left here. They
suspected that the tenants would be
on the move and instead of going
direct to the place they made for
the Washington bridge across the
Brazos with the intention of inter
cepting them before they crossed
into Grimes county. Upon their
arrival leaning that they had not
passed they then started toward the
plantation and met the emigrant
train which consisted of five wagons
three of them drawn by four mules
each. Some of the teams were Mr..
Lehmanns' and considerable por-
ton of the household and kitchen
furniture with which they were
loaded was that which he had pur-
chased for them. Sheriff league
served the papers with which he
was armed and ordered the drivers
to retrace their journey and
leave the things on the place.
They protested and the fe-
males of the party grew amusing
ly furious, and threw the things out
of the wagons, but MI. league had
the men to put them back, and pro-
ceeded with the whole crowd back
to Mr.. Lehmann's place where all of
the things he had advanced were I'M
loaded and those of the wagons and
mules that he had bought for them
were left. The Russians left at
once however, with what few things
they had of their own, for their des-
tination in Grimes county, some of
those teams having been sent over
there for them.
Mr.. Lehman is in the predica-
ment of finding himself here at al
most planting time without tenants
on his place, and out somewhere in
the neighborhood of $1,000 on a
crop that there is no hope of its
ever being made. The Grimes
county man that employs them has
no assurance that they will not
leave him in the middle of crop
time, after having shown such in
gratitude to the man that brought
them here.
