"SmaIi Events."

"SmaIl Events"
You speak OF small events, -ah, friend of mine,
: Beneath the sun there il no small event;
Each slightest change is part OF some design
Prehgured by the hand Omnipotent;-
Some things may vaster seem than others, yet
These little curves of action but fulfill
The total measure of the Makers will
In all their varying phases framed and set.
Tho death CT one poor cricket-even So
Unnoticed In the grasses. yet may be
A fact momeDtous in itself, although
It's fun significance we may not see;
For death is death. whether q mangled fly
beat out its little lie against the pane.
Or whether upon the battles crimsonp plain
A stalwart warrior in his armer die.
A pebble, dropped by chance within a rin.
May break the gnawing teeth of that small
tide,
And turn the infant water-course, until
Through other lands it pours, a river wide;
TIE will Of one weak baby never bent
By proper discipline. at length may grow
To deal its father-land o fatal blow
Ah. friend Of mine, there Is no small event.

Kenyon Cox Tells Why Artists Study It
Clothes Superfiuous.
There is, however, a much stronger rea.
son why artists have devoted themselves
TO the nude. Ideas. if they are to be ex-
pressed In graphite or plastic art, must be
i~ncarnated, aud the human figure is the
one great medium of expression for alb
stract ideas In the arts. That the figure
should be nude IL ii is to express great
and simple IDEAS. seems also natural.
As Adam end Eve were naked
and were not ashamed so the
gods and heroes of all peoples have been
the glorifed natural man-clothes were an
lmpertinence to Jupiter or Apollo. If one
figures a human incarnation of some great
idea-force. or love, or glory, or beauty-it
seems natural that the, artificial %trappings
of civilization hould he discarded, and ono
does not see what costume could have to
do with Michael Angeles Night and Morn
ing. Truth is always naked and the
golden age had no need of clothes. In this
sort Of work drapery may, indeed. be
used, but Tor ornament, not for covering.
In ideal art the functions of drspery are
TO give mass and dignity to what might
otherwise be divided. TO contrast multi
plicity and intrlcacy of small folds with
the broader forms of the naked body. to
give variety of color to a composition that
would otherwise be monotonous. Michael
Angelo was. above all. q master of the
nude, but in his earlier work he uses
drapery maGujhcently for these ends. 1t
was only III his old aye that he attempted.
in the Last Judgment. to suppress it alto
gether. and the result is not encouraging.
But the use of drapery in ideal art is as
purely for artistic reasons as is It's absence.
and has nothing to do with the proprIety
of clothing.

TO ALLIANCEMEN.

An original Alliance man who has
long read the LEADER and appreciates
il for its independence, candor and
courage in discussing men, measures
and parties, has furnished us the names
of many Alliance brethren he would
like to have sample copies of the paper
sent to. If you are an Allianceman
and receive a sample copy this week,
understand that is why it was sent,
and that you are requested to read the
paper, and if you like it, become sub
scriber. It will be sent one year for
one dollar; six months for 30 cents, or
three month for p cents. Any broth
err who sends us Il club of five yearly
subscribers and five dollars, will get an
extra copy one year; or any one sending
us club of ten subscribers at 30 cents
each, will get the paper himself one
year free.
The LEADER claims that it is the only
paper published at jackson that will
give the plain facts about men and
parties without fear or favor. Read il
awhile, and you will be convinced it:
claims are just.

THE suB-rREAsURY IN THE SENATE

On the 2nd inst. Senator Call, Demo
cratic Senator from Florida, offered a
resolution which was laid on the table,
subject to call, providing for a special
committee to consider and report
legislation to relieve the scarcity of
money among the farmers, to reduce
the rate of interest to farmers to OBJ
tain money on farms and crops, and to
establish some sub-treasury or banking
system by which, through government
aid, money could be kept within the
reach of community in sums suffi-
cient for their need, to be. loaned to
them at low rates; to devise some sys-
TEN of rates by which the flow of money
to commercial centres could be limited,
so as to leave sufficient amounts in all
sections of the country for the rospec-
tive communities.
Some may take comfort at this mod
est recognition which has thus been
given by Democratic Senator to the
demand of the tillers of the soil for
more and cheaper money, but the
LEADER expects to see nothing serious
come of it. If the committee asked
for is granted, it will take pains not tC
report until after the Presidential
campaign Meantime Democratic ora
tors, on all safe occasions when the
representative of plutocracy are not
in hearing, will use the Call resolution
as campaign thunder to catch Alliance
votes, by pointing to it as an earnest
of what their party proposes to do fol
the dear farmer if he will only help tt
vote them into power this one time
more After the election, no matter
how it might go, these same orators anC
the committee, would declare''the whole
scheme as wild, impracticable anC
visionary" while the gold-bugs would
laugh right out loud at the way The
''hay -seeders'' and "red-necks" wer,
gulled. -

HON. CLARKE LEWIS.

Hon. Clarke Lewis is announced as q
candidate for reelection to Congress
Becoming candidate for United States
Senator last year on the Ocala platform
to succeed Senator Walthall, when il
was necessary to pull Senator George
through by keeping the magnetic Wal
thall in the race, noleus Volens, Mr.
Lewis suffered a depreciation at the
hands of the George press and par
tisans which did him great injustice
He is not only man OF fine scholarly
attainments, with a thorough knowl-
edge of the political history of this
country, but possesses a knowledge OF
the finances of the government to
which few men of his age can lay
claim. His speeches on that subject
were never answered in last years can
vass, except by ridicule, which did not
meet the arguments he advanced. He
is clean man, an honest man. He
spurns the tricks and methods of the
time-serving demagogue, and has the
courage of his convictions on all ques-
lions. He is always in his place in
Congress and occupies the second place
on. the Committee ON Agriculture,
where he is ever watchful of the inter-
ests of his constituents and the farm
ers of the country generally.
1t is announced that Mr.. Lewis is a
subject to the action of the
Democratic party. 1t does not matter
whether he runs as Democrat or not !;
he is every way worthy of the support
of the people of his district and should
be returned to his present seat.

The LEADER does not impugn the
motives of the Alliance leaders of this
State who are trying to commit ALI
ancemen to the support of the Demo
cratic party organization. We accord
them the same honesty and sincerity
we claim for ourself But we are none
the less persuaded they are making a
tremendous blunder in trying to make
the Alliance tail to the National
Democratic party kite, while Wall
street controls its flight.
