We will have no election frauds in
Tennessee if vigilance can prevent it.
Our men must watch both the voting
and the counting. You have under our
law the right to stand by the box and
watch the ballots as they are put in
and taken out This our men intend to
do.-Weekly Toiler.
Wait for the force bill 1t is worse

Both are too much for common people
The moneycrats can afford to monkey
with such things, but the people want
more money, better prices for their
products and equal rights Vote for

The republican national committee,
it is said, have arranged to send one
thousand speakers and one million dol
lars to Kansas this fall to carry the
state for their party ticket And this,
too, where the democrats have no ticket
in the field and the peoples party is
going to pieces so fast Queer, isn't it?
Farmers Friend.
The third party has been growing
quietly and rapidly of late. 1t keeps
well under cover, but it seems to be
very infectious. Georgia and Alabama
are honeycombed by it. North Caro-

as high as one hundred and twenty-five
thousand. 1t has spread through the
northwest like fire on dry prairie. =

"A graduated income tax should be

One of the most pathetic scenes Of
life is to see poor men shivering in the

price of fuel goes up out of his reach
because he and his kind have voted coal
trusts into existence BY having had
their prejudice and credulity imposed
upon by political sharpers and conf
dence men in statesmen's clothing.
There is no reason why the sources of
life's blessings should be controlled and
ownsd by a few Caesars who levy heavy
tribute on the things that are the peo-
pies. The peoples party is the only
one that tends in principle toward the
abolition of individual trusts. Omaha

The peoples state executive com
mittees of Arkansas. Tennessee and
Alabama have applied for federal super
visors at the coming election, being
fully satisfied that they can't have a
fair election without them. Democracy
in those states has set up a piteous
howl and is ranting about this ''ioui
stain about to be inflicted on their fair
(?) fame" This same democracy steals
thousands of votes and intimidates ne

1t should be remembered that this
people's party is not movement of the
farmer and common laborer exclusively.
1t is movement Of the people against
the parasites. Unless we can unite all
Legitimate interests, labor, business and
professional, against the class that alb
serbs the product of muscular and men
tai labor without rendering an equiva-
lent, then our party will fall to pieces
with its own weight There are two
many people in our party yet who, with
tongue and pen, are conveying the idea
that no one is welcome in our ranks ex-
cept a farmer or a common laborer.
This is one of our own mistakes that
needs correcting. Cincinnati Herald

Fire Works on Mt. Bradford

The fireworks on Mt. Bradford Thanksgiving night were very beautiful, but the display was much marred by the heavy clouds which soon settled down on the mountain top The rock cts were unusually large and brilliant and rose to great height and exploded throwing out many stars of various col ors. The rushing sound produced by the rockets and the report could not be heard for some seconds after the rocket had vanished. The reflection on the clouds produced very pretty effect The burning of the red fire was grand sight The light was very bright, illu- minating the clouds with roseate hue and throwing strong light on houses and other objects in the village. The Hon Robbins Battell has the thanks of the public for this treat which he so kindly furnished them.

e Collision at Hibernia.

A ''tail end" collision occurred on Saturday night near Hibernia, N. Y. on the F. R. & N. E. road. A freight train going east had occ ,sion to stop, and the man sent to flag approaching trains, for some reason, did not go back far enough consequently the first train was struck by another train pulled by engine No. 32. The engine crashed into the rear car setting that and the next one on fire and derailing two more. Tue effect of the collision on No. B. was seen when she pulled into the yard at this station Monday afternoon. She certainly pre- sented 8 ludicrous appearance. Her smoke stack had been carried away and barrel substituted in the place of it. Her pilot was gone and the charred wood work and the appearance of the forward part of the boiler showed that she had been on fire. The rear end of the tender was badly iammed. The NEWS was informed that nobody was seriously hurt

 The pinnacle of Bear Mountain is the highest land in the State of Connec- ticut and the ascent to it is very steep and the path is narrow. About two weeks ago Mir and Mrs H. Wells, of Chicago, and Miss Lois Wells, of Lake vile, Conn.,, rode to the top of the pin nacle, on horseback. Probably this is the first instance in which anyone has ridden from base to summit of old Bear Mountain. MT Wells has a ranch in Wyoming upon which he keeps 1000 horses and the horses used in this ad- venture are probably three of the best saddlers in the whole thousand. The party did not dismount in either ascend ing or descending the mountain.
