THE STORY OF THE THIRD PIKE.
After another hbation poured to the
'srosy god," the third Pike, who was
called 'Lige, said: II never had no ad-
venturs, bein alters engaged in trade
and specerlation, but Bud Crowner's ac-
count Of his performin turtles naturally
brings to mind my great tarrapin spec
erlstion. Hearin Of the big prices that
was bein paid for tarrapin stews in
Washoe and California in the airly and
flush times Of the silver mines by min
ing superintenders, big lawyers, sports
and highfiers in gineral, concluded to
make bold stroke for fortin.
~ collected all the tarrapin ! could
find in Missouri; then had brought to me
all that the niggers and white trash in
Kaintucky, Tennessee and Arkansaw
could skeer up. When all the tarrapin
had come in they covered four sections
Of land as thick as the cobblestones in
an old st. Louis pavement. All the peo-
pie for fifty miles around come to see
the sight. Every son Of a gun OF EN-
tried to pump me to find out what l was
goin to do with them four sections Of
tarrapin. kept mum or told EN- lies.
Not o soul suspected that I was preparin
to make great tarrapin drive acrost the
plains to Washoe and California.
"When l got ready to start my drove
I found couldn't do the fust thing
toards gittin 'em in line. When I'd start
q quarter section or 30 of EN- ahead the
rest would begin movin out sideways,
and would soon be so scattered that ]
had to raise all the niggers in the county,
big and little, to 60 round 'em. whip 'em
In and get 'em massed agin.
"After three OF four attempts at start
in the drove an ole niger came into my
camp one night bout midnight. His har
was white as wool and he looked more'n
hundred year old. He wore q sort Of
breechclout made Of 'possum skins, but
nary another stitch Of duds. The ole
feller stood over six feet high and was
straight as an arrer. He looked bout
the same as any other ole nigger, except
his head and face, which made me think
Of big snappin turtle.
"By rattle the ole feller had in his
hand, and by the string Of snake heads
and things he had round his neck, 1seed
that the ole feller was hoodoo doctor.
The ole man told me there was only one
way of gettin my drove Of tarrspin start

The Question of the Day.

The subject which is at present absorb
ing the attention OF Americans, politicians
or otherwise is the silver question. This
is the hinge upon which the coming cam
paiga is turning, and although like the
tariff, it has already been discussed to
death, its pros and cons are probably just
about as much a mystery to people in gen
eral. Its agitation, however, is not Who'll
ly a campaign method, nor are the two
great parties exactly divided on this point.
The main advocates of free silver and an
unlimited coinage are few silver kings
in the West and their adherents, whose
interests Of course, are involved, and few
cotton planters in the South, who have an
erroneous idea that their profits would be
increased. The body Of solid monied men
and financiers, the salaried men and wage
earners, and the farmers are solid pha-
lanx against this disastrous food which
threatens our financial prosperity. THIS
threatening cloud has already alarmed
European nations and, anxious to secure

Glass Politics.

Consistency is jewel little seen in pol
itics. What is opposed one day it is
found convenient to favor under different
circumstances. We are led to this thought
by certain phases OF the state campaign.
Some time since it was suggested by the
st. Adams Messenger and many other pa
pers that it wonld be good politics to
nominate some person from the agricul-
tural class as candidate for governor, as
no one from that numerous body of vot-
ers had been governor for 80 years or
more. Immediately cry went up, "No
class politics." The suggestion was not
made because it was thought that the
farmers had man better fitted for the
office than any othel class, but believing
there were in that occupation men entire
ly capable of administering the affairs of
government and that it was a mark OF
recognition due to that class that casts
about three-fourths of the republican vote
in VT. and that it would enlist a cordial
interest on their part in the campaign.
Why is it that the Office of governor is
alternated between the east and the west
side Of the so-called "mountain liner"
Why is it that one county after another
puts in claims for recognition in the dis
trioution OF the offices?
Why is it that one of the two leading
places on the state ticket has been given
for more than twenty-five years to rep
resentative veteran?
Is it because it happens that the best
70 ha 9,laOad9 All knnuU n
is simply matter of policy, an effort to
secure strength and support for the state
ticket, and yet we have heard no one
raise the cry OF class or sectional politics.
1t is admitted to be fair and productive OF
good results. Now why raise the cry OF
class politics when a farmer is suggested?
The farmers don't want the earth but
they would appreciate due recognition so
far at least as not to have the occupation
a bar to all political preferment.
1t is claimed by certain newspapers that
the farmers do not want one oftheir num-
ber for governor, and up to date we are
offered in proof letter from H. M. Arms
of Springfield. E. P. Cotton Of Irasburg
is also quoted as not believing in it. The
Rev. Mr.. Ranslow, who represents that he
is a cross between a minister and farm
er says it must not be. Bro. Blake OF the
Barton Monitor, says he has seen farm
er in his county that didn't believe in 1t,
and Bro. Parker of the Bradford Opinion
has also found one but whether in this
state or California he does not state. This
makes grand total OF four farmers and
a half that don't want farmer for gov.
ernor 1t is fair to suppose that this is all
as no stone has been lefe unturned to
bring this sort OF evidence to ngnt.
There are about 80, 900 other farmers who
vote the republican ticket that we should
like 10 hear from before being convinced.
We have not seen farmer who did not
favor the idea of farmer candidate. we
bel eve it is both fairness and good poll
tics that one be nominated.

until 1888 when they separated. II SEEM

Mary f. Ford VS.. Lawrence ID. Ford
Parties were married in 1888. Mary said
that Ford had never paid her one cent or
bought single article for her or done
anything for her since they were married
except that he had bought bird cage for
her, also some candy; that she had asked
him to furnish home for her which he
had never done, but she acknowledged
that she had kept some company with
him all the time even since the bill was
brought and that he had taken her to
ride. A divorce was sought :on the ground
OF refusal to support and the same was
denied on the ground that the refusal was
not of that severe and cruel character
that the law demands.
Jennie |. Brown VS.. Edward l.. Brown.
After being married in 1878 Jennie and
Edward lived happily together until in
1888 when Mrs. Browns health was very
poor and it was necessary to employ fe-
male help in the family and one Alfredene
Hassam entered the employ OF the family,
and as the wife testified, the heart of her
husband and from that time Edward
made life unbearable to his sick wife,
cursing and swearing at her on every oc-
casion and even the hired help made her
boasts OF her supremacy. Jennie wanted
physicians but Edward said that she had
got to die and might just as well be about
it and save the cost OF doctors so DR.. L.
M. Greene who had been doctoring her
for some time, was discharged and the
guilty pair waited for Mrs. Brown to die.
Naturally Mrs. Brown thought there was
more than ordinary demand for her to
live and so she got we'll. This condition
of affairs so disgusted Edward that he
left home and all and fed away and has
away for the three years reQuir-
ed to constitute wilful desertion and for
cause Mrs. Brown was made free woman
again.
In the case OF the state VS.. Gustine Rix,
which had been remanded from the Su-
preme Court for sentence, a fine OF 800
was imposed and costs.
The evening of Thursday, June End, o.
c. Sawyer, general storekeeper at Sharon

mitted to bail. Ii will be remembered
that last year Sawyer while town agent
was arrested on a similar charge and fin
ed $3.50. Since then the agency has been
taken away from him.
