The custom of decorating the Christ

country, was Of German origin and ol
great antiquity. In Pennsylvania. where
many Of the settlers are Of German de

many of the ceremonies practiced in the

That New England Widow.

Bluff Ben Clover said in a recent
speech in congress on the silver bill:
Gentlemen tell us that the Door
widows and orphans of New England
would suffer greatly by the passage of
this bill. They tell us that the widows
and orphans are the money loaners of
that locality, and that it would be
cruelty in the extreme to distress them.
Of course, this statement is all for
effect, and should not command respect
enough for a reply, and l would not
notice it now were it not an insult to
the intelligence of every American citi.
zen, and | know of no better answer
than was given by the late Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, when this oft repeat
ed and dishonest statement was made in
the senate of the United States during
the Fifty-frst congress.
He said, Whenever the question of
more money comes up and any move is
made that looks toward relief for the
people who are struggling under their
load of debt, in consequence of the con-
traction of the currency and a shrinking
in the value of their property, this New
England widow is promptly brought out
and made to do duty over and over again,
but behind her ample skirts you can
always find Wall street gold bug con-
cealed."
Mr.. Speaker, this traditional widow is
myth" a "phantasy," an "iridescent
dream" of the overworked brain of the
honest dollar advocates, and has become
a very old and musty chestnut. Poor
widows and orphans are not in the money
lOaning business except as they are found
at the interest paying and not the inter-
est receiving end of the line.

His Death Watch.

J. W. Brown, of Atlantic, Ia, writes
rs follows to The Nonconformist, of In.
dianapolis:
Out in the Ninth congressional dis
rict in Iowa we have great sensation.
The Hon. Thomas Bowman, our present
Democratic representative in congress,
hrs just announced his early political
death. Cause, his vote against free sill
yer and the way he shears sheep. Mr..
Bowman was elected on a free silver
and tariff reform platform, and his vote
against free silver and his vote for free
wool as tariff reform measure do
not suit our people. We want free sill.
yer and tariff reform, but we do not
want the farmer Quilted and the manu-
factories still go protected. The taking
Of the duty off wool and leaving the
duty on wooden goods does not suit the
average farmer, don't you see? Shear
that sheep the other way. This early
collapse of Thomas political career
makes our people feel like singing,
praise God from whom all blessings
how."

Strike for Mental Freedom.

1t seems to me that the Peoples party
has already taken such firm root that it
is too late for the national Democratic
party to redeem itself even should it
now adopt the Ocala demands as its
platform, for the simple reason that the
people have no faith in its good inten-
tons. Such an agreement would be
only wordy contract, with no bona fde
intention of execution, whereas in the
Peoples party unity of interest and iden-
tity of needs would furnish a sufficient
guarantee of good faith and permanency.
In fact the Vaccinations of politicians
are powerless and futile to keep asunder
that which nature and natures God
have Joined together.
1t does not require a very profound
statesman to see that such combina-
ton between the northwest, west and
south is inevitable. 1t is dictated by
principle that is higher than any orga-
nization. Should the Alliance die to-
morrow, it would go on. Should the
old parties make any manner of conces-
sions, it would go on to its consumma-
ton. The Peoples party is now the
only true, real democracy. The old
Democratic party, so called, has long
ago lost all features of democracy and
become real Oligarchy, ruled by bosses
and leaders" who make no secret of
assuming absolute control and dictation
of the party policy and utterly ignoring
all ideas and opinions the people may
have.
Are we of the south willing for the
sake of name, an empty name, and old
traditions and associations to remain in
this perpetual mental bondage? If so,
we deserve to be the slaves of the vulgar
parvenu.-R. K. Charles in Raleigh
Progressive Farmer.

Oh, How They Do Liei

The plutocratic press is muddled over
the objects and action of the Birming-
ham conference. Some of them assert
that it was vigorous reputation of the
Peoples party. Others are equally sure
that it was an unequivocal Endorsement
of it. These differing opinions are given
only as opinions. But they undertake
to give facts-and here is where they
revel in the broad and congenial and
familiar domain of refined lying. For
example, they say that the test vote
which killed the Third party stood 81
to 16, when the truth is no test vote was
taken. They say that certain fellow
in the conference made a gallant fight
against the Third party and squelched
it. Not word of truth in it.
They say that Third party president
from one of the states absolutely burst
into tears when he saw it was defeated.
Another one out of whole cloth. To
show that absolute harmony prevailed
look at the address and you will see that
all the gentlemen present from the states
signed it. Keep on guessing. We will
certainly not aid you in finding out what
the conference did. Are you puzzled:
Keep up your Misrepresentation. Don't
you feel badly? Don't you wish you did
know what the Birmingham conference
means? Wait and see.-Progressive
Farmer.

An Interesting Situation.

Politicians may well look with interest
at affairs in the south, for the strength
which the Alliance has developed there
has astonished the old party men, who
only begin to realize that a revolution is
taking place in that section of the coun-
try as well as in the west.
The Democrats are afraid of the loss
Of the electoral vote in North Carolina,
and the efforts being made by the Re
publicans and the Alliance to throw the
vote of the state 70 their interest makes
the situation very interesting Omaha

Our Own Men First.

As l have said nothing as to candi-
dates / hope you will give me room for
q few words. If anything on earth
makes me lose faith in the capacity Of
the human family it is to see men who
really are in earnest and have the old
political wool partly out of their eyes,
straying off after strange gods, into the
camps of our bitterest enemies for rep
resentatives Of our political principles.
What can our men mean when they
say Sanford, Gresham, Butler and 9th.
ers equally far from our fold are the
men to nominate for president by the
Peoples party? Any honest, able and
intelligent man in our ranks would be a
thousand times preferable to any cut
slider. We have a host of patriots in our
ranks that have the qualifications

Tarred with the Same Stick.

1have all my life been taught to be-
heve that John Sherman was all that
was pernicious and vile in politics, and
| was taught to revere just such men as
Carlisle and German, but when one
month ago / saw Carlisle and German,
and Morgan too, stand up on the same
floor and on the same day with John
Sherman and move that the money ques-
ton be referred to a joint commission
composed Of emissaries of Great Britain,
felt that the same law that impelled
me to dstest John Sherman also impelled
me to dsspiss and detest Carlisle and

From the Old North State.

The Peoples party of North Carolina
IS preparing to sweep all before it. The
st. Louis platform has been adopted,
and The Progressive Farmer, Colonel
L. L. Folks paper, SAYS:
The true reformers of the Old North
State send greeting to their brethren
and co-workers throughout the Union in
this manly declaration to stand firmly
by principle. God bless the noble and
true men of our state and country in
this hour of our trial and peril.

Chorus-Hard trials for them two.
Harrison and Cleveland too,
Over the bees who the honey drew,
That grew, that grew,

These little bees who honey stored,

Were robbed by drones Of their Juicy

And right aloud in anger roared.
Ignored. ignored,

For bees, like men who money make,
Listen to tale Of woe,
Object when drones the honey take,
And raise row for Justice sake,
And shake, and shake,
Listen 70 tale OF woe.

When Ben and Grove to the bees appeal,
Listen to tale Of woe,
A singing answer both will feel
And in despair will gently kneel,
And squeal, and squeal,

Listen to tale of woe,
Wen plant our Ben and Grover so
That neither one will longer grow,
You know, you know,

Don't stop when them you sing or quote,
And on the tide Of leisure float,
But vote. but vote,
