Political Points.

Ii
man who can tell him frankly when he
is wrong, but will defend his rights
though he be in hopeless minority.
All that remains for Canada now
seems to be annexation or starvation.
The sooner Canada knocks for admls-
sion the better will he her position when
she is admitted.-New York Press, Rep.
Alabama is one of several Southern
States where the farmers mo vement has
gained foothold. The failure of kolb,
the boiling Democrat, supported by the
Third party and many Republicans, and
the defeat of the entire ticket and CO.
alition Of which he was representative,
seems to throw wet blanket over the
ATTEMPT to break the Solid South 10y a
flank movement.-Was hington Star,

There is one kind of protection that
every honest man in this country is 10
favor of, and that is the protection of
the property owner in the possession OF
his property. The poor man cannot be
secure in his cottage if the rich man is
not secure in his mansion or manufac-
tory. 1T tho law will not protect the
accumulations of the rich, it cannot pro-
tect the savings of the poor.-NeW York
Sun, Dem.

remarks Cd before " election promises
and "after" election actions, as fol-
lows:
Gov. Foster refused to appoint the
police jurors of VIM parish as re-
commended by vote of the people. Only
one of the men who received a majority
vote us a recommendation received his
appointment. Winn will never be a
Foster parish.
Savannah (Ga.) News: One reason,
and perhaps the chief one, why the
banks in all the Northern cities are full
of money is that nearly all the pension
money amounting to about S15O,OOO,0OO
a year, is distributed almost wholly
in the Northern States. A very large
part of this money is drawn from the
South II it came back again the South
would not have SO much cause to COM
plain Of the pension burden, but the
amount that comes back is too small TO
be worth considering. Millions of dol
lars are taken from the South every
year and distributed in the North.
N. O. States: The Peoples party in
the South is the stool-pigeon of the Re-
publican party. There is no more
chances of Weaver being elected presi-
dent than there is OF Satan gaining con-
troll of heaven. But there is possibil-
ity, and a very grave possibility, that
the so-called Peoples party may throw
one or two Southern States to Harrison
and thus elect him and perpetuate the
very evils the farmers are complaining
Of and this is just the result that every
Louisiana farmer, who now deserts the
Democratic party and vote, for the Peo-
ple's party, is contributing to.
N. O. States: The Democratic Con-
gressional committee is preparing to do
some work in those districts in the
South where the Third party has array
ed itself against the Democratic party,
and is being encouraged and aided by
the Republican National committee. 1t
is the intention to send into the districts
a number of able Democratic
Congressman from the North and West
and have them point out the danger
that threatens the white people of the
South in the Third party movement,
and the efforts OF these speakers will be
by the distribution of lit
erature regarding the force bill.
n. O. States: A great deal of mean
fun has been poked at Hon. Il. Watson,
of Georgia, because in his campaign
book be says: Members in q drunken
debate grave questions and
getting confused, rally little and ask
the Speaker, Where was | at"' The
newspapers that are making fun of the
Georgian should remembe that the Peo-
ple's party has its peculiar grammar, as it
has It's peculiar economic theories
; Where was at is perfectly correct
with the dam phools who want to re-
,rieve the distress of the country by the
scheme. Should the aspi-
'ations of L. Jonathan Guice, Of Loui-
siana, for seat in Congress be realized,
We will then have in all its beauty En-
sish us she are writ and spoke, according
% the standards of the peoples party.
1t appears that there are a number of |
nen who are eager to throw off their al |
egiance to the Democratic party and |
20 into the new one profess to have no |
Tread OF the passage and operation of a |
Orce bill would fain consider it a sort |
II bugabOO with which the Democracy |
rope to fright the souls OF timid adver-
aries.
1t is passing strange that intelligent
nen should hold so erroneous an Opin-
on. A moments reflection should
each them that the object and certain
Of the force bill is to per-
etuate the Republican party in power
a desperate remedy for desperate
ase. Ii this be so, and no rational man
an doubt it, what earthly hope can
here DO for our Third party friends to
AIRY out their pet schemes of legisla-
ion 1t is worse than midsummer night
BADNESS for them to delude themselves
