which need reform as they need the
bread Of life, at the temporary expense
of his constituency. When men cease
to consider the immediate personal ef-
fects of defeat, and look toward the di-
vlnely certain final victory of right, then
they may be trusted to guide the coun-
oils Of nations, and to make laws, not for
the expedient present moment, but for
our children and the children Of coming

The Peoples party Is urged to fuse in
order to gain some Democratic votes.
We do not want Democratic votes

Humanity cannot permanently believe q
lie. One man may, for his three score
and ten years, but then at once the
falslty becomes as a rlven veil before the

nothing that Is founded upon truth is

members Of the organization out OF
bondage. President L. L. Polk has
been wise and conservative when
conservatism was necessary in order
to guide the organization Of which he
is the head in safety through the
trying period since the Ocala conven-
tion, and up to the assembling of the
great industrial conference at st.
Louis. He is now demonstrating
that he possesses the elements of
radical as well as q conservative, and
that he has likewise the discrimina-
tion that enables him to rightly judge
of the proper time for the exercise of
the one or the other of these character
istics Of his nature. He has held the
great organization with a steady
hand. 1t was everywhere led to look
to the decisions of the st. Louis con-
ference which had been agreed upon
at Ocala, to indicate its future policy,
and in the interval it was perfectly
non. committal. So completely was
the entire organization imbued with
this dominant idea, that when the re-
suit of the great conference was
known the entire membership, north
and south, was prepared to accept the
decision, with the exception of very
few partisan bigots who have a higher
regard for party than for home or
country. A few of these are found in
nearly every state, and in many in
stances they are men who have at
tanned prominence in the order, and
who have made loudest professions
of feslty to its principles. When
weighed in the balance, however,
they are found wanting.
In North Carolina some Of these
men have been given important posi-
tions, and when President Polk,
through his paper, the Progressive
Farmer, exhibits his loyalty to the
order by his acceptance and advocacy
of the principles and decisions of the
st. Louis conferences, to which the en-
tire order was in honor committed,
these political shysters criticise his
course, and object to the use of his
paper, which was the official organ of
the State Alliance, for the support of
the policy that has been agreed upon.
Under these circumstances President
Polk exhibits his integrity and man
hood in the following characteristic
letter:

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER II Having learned

Scribed In It's advocacy Of the methods which

which have been so overwhelmingly endorsed by

ANOTH Err FIRE.
Can't Keep the Fire Bug Down
Yet.

A fire occurred at 1:30 o'clock this
morning in a vacant two story house on
the corner of Avenue and Seventh
street, owned by Mr.. Geo. Chabot, Sr.
The department was called out and eX-
tinguished thu flames, not, however, be-
fore some 500 damage was accomplished.
A small house adjoining, owned by Mr..
John LOhg, was also damaged some.
The Chabot house had been untenanted
for two weeks, and from the statement OF
officer O'Day, the fire must have been in
cendiary. as he found window open and
a step ladder against it, This
had been carried TO the place. In
one Of the rooms vessel cOnyaiuiug var
niSh was placed aud varnish had been
81 altered about the floor. IL burned al
most like pitch The case is being inves-
tigated by the detectives and the pot of
varnish and stepladder may furnish them
a tangible clue.
The officers statement does not corrob-
crate the evidence Of neighbors who
arrived at the fire before ne did. They
say the house was being repaired, painted
and overhauled The fire started in a
pile of newly painted shutter blinds, that
were on the east side of the house.
Whether they had been taken off by the
iucendiary or the painter and piled there,
is not known. The fire did not start from
the inside of the house. There were paint
aud varnish pots left in the house and
these may or may not have been used by
the incendary. The neighbors say they
did not find any step ladder left against a
window

He Is Here.

The following is taken from the Ameri-
can Israelite of June 23rd and concerns a
gentleman now in this city:
The famous rabbi, Rev. John Sergus,
of the Jewish Christian church, India,
will lecture at st. Johns church, corner
of Twenty fifth and Broadway, this even
ing at s o'clock. He will appear in ancient
Mosaic costume, and will give thrilling
accounts of the black Jews, wild people
living in trees, marriage in India, fire and
devil worship, etc. He will also sing
several songs in Samaritan, Syric and
Hindoo languages, and give examples OF
oratory in the ancient Hebrew tongue"
We quote the above from the Galveston
News as a sample of what we poor Jews
have to suffer. Sergus, the famous rab-
BIZ" was a simple, unpretending tramp
living on Jewish charity until he wore 1t
out He then took up conversion to
Christianity as trade, and has been liv-
ing on the fat of the land ever since. As
Barnum said people like to be humbugged.
People who live by their wits know this
and profit by their knowledge. They
style their victims suckers" and your
shrewd Jewish vagabond knows that
of all suckers" the pious Christian
who believes the conversion of all the
Jews to Christology is necessary fore
runner of the millennium, is the rank
est" ergo, the most easily "bled." We
trust our readers will excuse the slang,
but we can hardly speak Of men in Mr.
Sergus' profession without using its
technical terms. We can not see any
reason for getting excited about things oil
this kind. If Christian congregations
insist on being "stood up" we can do M
more than to warn them, and then le
them do as they please.

Yesterday under orders from Chief

A Dead Man Found Yesterday in
the Sixth Ward

Yesterday about II o'clock the body of
an unknown white man was discovered
lying on the Southern Pacific railroad
track. about 300 yards east of the Olive
street bridge. He had been dead but a
short time. There was some hours de-
lay in sending for the coroner for some
reason, but when Justice Heron did ar
rive at six O'Clock in the evening
he took the testimony of several
witnesses and learned that he had been
seen sitting or the track in the hot sun a
little while before but had made no re-
plies TO questions put TO him.
He had nothing on his person
by which he could be identified He had
81 * in money in his POCKET, a razor, a
pocket knife and a back number of the
Louisville Courier Jourpal. His hat was
marked by local firms name and was a
black Derby. The name of Katie" was
found on the band.

height and had a small, blonde mustache
A pair of dark jeans pants, brown wool
shirt, coarse shoes and leather belt

his BODY. The remains were taken to the
county cemetery for burial.
Justice Heron has not yet rendered
his verdict. He thinks the man died o.
natural causes, probably sunstroke. The

The Blue and the Gray.

The New Nation noted at the
time of it's occurrence the fact that
the recent Wichita Kas. state
convention of the Peoples party
nominated for congressman-at-large
an ex.Confederate soldier. The i'm
preston which this graceful act
made upon the South may be judged
from the following from the Peoples
Party Paper of Atlanta, Ca, a repre-
sentative organ of the southern
wing of the Peoples party lit
was grand sight in the Wichita
convention when Fred Close, one
armed x-Umion soldier and ex-; Re-
publican, rose from his seat and
nominated. for congress-at-large, in a
speech as broad as this great
country in it's loyalty and patriot
ism, w. A. Harris, an ex-Con-
federate and ex-Democrat. This
scene alone was enough to touch
the heart of every man in this
Union who loves peace more than
strife-the people more than party.
But the climax was reached when
274 eX-Union soldiers rose from
their seats at one, time to second the
nomination, and moved that the
election be by reclamation. AS a
Southern man, an ex-Confederate
soldier, we lift our hat to those
Kansas boys, and extending our
hand with our whole heart in it, we
say to them: 'Henceforth, thy
country shall be my country, and
thy God my God, and the Lord do
so to me and more also if aught but
death ever again separate thee and
me. 1.-THE Peoples Advocate.

standard without an effort. Ii we
do not gain, we lose strength and
50 in selecting an ideal, we SHOULD
make it high one, and climb to it..
There is a thought connected
with this of vital interest to young
girls. You cannot help it if you
would: some one will choose your
lite as a standard, and build struct-
ures by it. He or she will think
more Of initiating your actions than
of following the Master, who is the
true standard. Our lives should be
what we wish to make the lives OF
others. If a girl makes her life
conform to this rule, her example
will not prove a snare to others
provided she is actuated by right
motives.
How many women have been
stirred up to sympathy with the
masses, and sorrow for the sinned
against and SHINING, by that wonder
full heroine of poesy, Aurora Leigh!
How many have learned how
it is "to suffer and be strong" by
reading Romola ! Many times re-
peated Evangeline thrills our souls
by the story of Romans faith and
devotion. History teens with Joan
of Arcs, Lady Jane Greys and
hundreds of others-all girls who
gave their lives if necessary to
make true these words-the motto
of every true Christian girl =
"Fain would l hold my lamp aloft,
Like yonder tower built high
above the reef
Steadfast, through tempests rave
or winds blow soft,
Clear, though the sky dissolve in
tears of grief"
