Fair Tennessee.

9he traitors trail is on thy land
O Tennessee! o Tenesseel
He spreads his devastating hand
o Tennessee! o Tennessee!
Thy rock--rbbed hills and valleys fair,
Thy mountains grand with beauty rare.
Are reeking now, with fearful cries,
OF vengeance stained with bloody dyes.
Thy glory and thy pride are low
And blood lies at thy temple door,
Thegoodness weeps FER freedoms soil
Her beauty sadly now dispailed
And justice mOurns by thee denied
Thy children wept thy mothers cried to thee
In vain they plead their wrongs
o TENNESSEE o Tennessee!
Why CONES this voice so weird and wild
From Tennessee, thy own fair child?
She weeps, she mourns, she breathes she burns,
The intIuders charms she boldly spurns;
With frantic arm, uplifted high
TO strike her dear mother ere she die
Yet still she loves thee fond and free
oTennessee! 0 Tennessee
Arise Come forth Protect! defend
With majesty, thine honored name,
But let thine arm but gently fall,
Thy recreant sins but to recall,
They are thy children true and tried,
Rebelling not from incurred pride.
But for their homes once fair and free
They asked thine aid, o Tennessee!
Enchanting land where natures showers,
With sweetest fruits and fairest flowers,
Whose stately scepter did wide expand,
Inviting thy industrious hand
Where freedom born in throes of blood,
And nutured by the wise and good.
Twas time to crown with happiness,
A land that Heaven rejoiced to bless.
The oppressors turned away in scorn
From happy homes in freedom born,
Where honest toll strive hard to bless
The homes they made for happiness.
But now their pleading cries are heard
And every patriots soul is stirred
And wars grim visage o'er thee lowers
Ger Tennessee's sweet peaceful hours
Dear mother, of our sainted sires,
Whose altars burn with sacred fires
To thee l come, to the kneel
Forth yrebellious child appeal
o, let thy scepter wave on high,
And call them back ere they shy;
Give that forgivness sweet and free,
Dear mother call them back to thee.
Give back the freedom of their soil
OF happy homes that are despoiled
The heritage that thou had'st given
OF honest toll so blessed by Heaven
Thy freebOrn sins and daughters bless
No man with the intruder to oppress
And true and loyal they will be
o Tennesseel TENNESSEE
Firm as the everlasting hills
With beauty Of thousand rills,
And mountains towering grand and fold
Strongly their arms would thee enfold
And never more from thee to dare
To strike a blow that traitors share,
But thy loved child obedient be-
OTennessee Fair East Tennessee!
Come forth In all thy beauty shine
OF ancient glory so divine,
And watt sweet incense to the skies.
In all this lovely, beautious land
That stretches far from oceans sand,
Thou art the stately queen to be,
o TENNESSEE Fair East Tennessee
When will !hou blossom as the rose
Where peace and plenty still repose.
And freedoms path be firmly trod
Emblazoned by the living God,
And Heaven itself hear no despair
For glory twlnes with freeman's air
When all thy rights thy children share,
o TENNESSEE Dear, Tennessee!

A REAL anarchist is one who wants
other people to work, make money,
and give it to him.-Dayton (Ohio)
Journal.
Without intending to do so, the
Journal has arraigned the party OF
it's affiliations as being the "real
anarchists" The thought was in
tended to slur the men who are
crying out against the injustice OF
the day. The "real anarchists" are
those who not only want other peo-
ple's money, but who put that want
into practice. Those whom the
Journal pleases to denominate "ca-
lamity howlers" and anarchists"
have entered their protest against
giving up, not only their money,
but their property possessions, to
those who do not work, but "want
other people to, work, make money,
and give it to them" Brain de-
vises and muscle executes, and brain
and muscle should have the major
part of the net proceeds Of labor.
Money is used only to keep muscle
active, but money is given much
the the larger share Of the net pro-
ceeds of labor. The "real anarch-
lists" pool their money in defiance of
good law and in harmony with devil
law, and, by the power thus acquir-
ed, compel men to "work, make
money and give it to" the "real
anarchists" compel the people that
work, by stinting them in their
wages, to make the anarchists
wealthy, permit them to live in lux
ury; and they, poor souls, after
making the wealth, have husks for
their fare. The "real anarchists"
are known.

The psp-suckers, truckers and
stool-pigeons of the twin relics of
a better age" are greatly exercised
over calling Shylocks, trusts and
boards of trade robbers. Now,
what are they? They may operate,
and generally do, under "devil law"
and get the cinch on some poor un-
fortunate and "skin him.; but is it
any the less robbery? or are they
any the less robbers? Their friends
and apologists are whining because
it is the only thing they can do.
They know the accusation is fact,
and their souls are troubled because
they have no testimony to the con-
trary--and they whine. Poor fell
lowsl They should call for honest
leaders.

The farmers Of the United States

ital as have the manufacturers in

farmer, in the year 1890, produced
wealth to the amount Of $2,2l3,-

The Leavenworth Times says: ut
is pretty plain now that the Demo
cratic party is backing off from the
silver question, and the silver plank
in the Democratic national platform
will not be one that the Republicans
can find much fault with" Well,
no one not ruled by partisanism ex-
poets either one of the twin relics
Of barbarism to have platform that
will trouble the other The aim of
both is the same. With both, prin-
ciples and patriotism are back num-
bers. The fight has degenerated
into an unholy scramble for the
spoils of Office, and there being no
principles to war about, no patriot
ism to foster, the two platforms will
be as near alike as two peas. Hart
er, Of Ohio, and John Sherman, his
townsman, could write the platforms,
and there would be no war over
them. Partisanism is not a factor
in the creed of the national robbers.

THAT stalwart plutocratic sheet,
the New York Press, in late issue,
tells this lie: under the present
law, carefully framed to keep silver
money on a par with gold, the treas
ury is purchasing more than 100
tons of silver every month";" etc.
The lie is contained in Carefully
framed to keep silver money on a
par with gold" Silver fs in no
sense on a par with gold, for it is
virtually deHonetized by the excep-
ton clause in the law of 1890.
Were it on a par with gold, that ex-
ception clause would not be in the
law of 1890. Were it on par with
gold, Shylock could not insert a
clause in notes which may have
been secured on loan of silver or
national bank notes. requiring that
they be paid in gold. The lie is
silly, but will deceive thousands.
The law Of 1890 was carefully
framed" to make gold THE money,
and the work of that tool OF the
plutocrats, John Sherman, is seen
in the exception clause.

IT has been said that resistance
to tyrants is obedience to God" IT
this be true, the laboring people OF
America have a duty to perform in
in that line, and if they do not do
it with an intelligently-used ballot,
they will have to do it with more
destructive methods. The system
of Legislation that is now in force,
and which is taking their homes,
will take the food and raiment from
their families.

From the Cincinnati Herald.
Take your choice. Vote for "Bet-
sy and the babies," or the bosses
and boodlers.
Get off from the fence or you will
have more patches on your pants
than you have now.
Each man under our laws has a
legal right to vote as he pleases.
No man has moral right to cast
a vote unless his conscience goes
with it.
Any Peoples party paper that is
opposed to woman suffrage ought to
look over it's creed and see if it
harmonizes with the doctrine Of
Equal rights to all and special
privileges to nome"
The fusion scheme in the End Kan
sas congressional district has been
repudiated by the members of the
Peoples party over the entire dis
trict. Things have to go straight in
Kansas or they don't go.
1t seems to us that a farmer or Ia
borer who will vote for the govern
ment to loan national banker money
at per cent, and vote against loan
ing the farmer, or any legitimate
business money at 2 per cent, will
have difficulty in giving reason for
the faith within him.
Under the present system of rail-
roads of the United States pay their
expences, and declare about $780,
OO0, 900 in dividends annually. In
der government ownership, the run
ming expenses could still be paid,
and $500, 200, 900 saved to the peo-
pie in lower freight and passenger
rates.
The great mistake of the old politi-
cal school is the affirmation that la
Dor is a commodity, the price Of
which should be controlled by the
law of supply and demand. Com
modities are produced. Labor is
not produced, any more than life, or
breath, or soul of a human being
is produced. Labor is the operator,
not the thing produced OF operated
upon. Labor is the result of energy
and intelligence. To say that labor
is commodity is to say that a
human being must take his or her
place in the markets Of the world,
beside vegetables, grain, cattle,
etc., and bid for chance to exist.
If such a monstrOus idea be true,
then if a human being finds no
chance to earn a living, and goes
down in the darkness of poverty and
starvation, no moral wrong has been
done. But the fact remains that
each man is his brothers. (or sister's)
keeper. The highest social state

We "point with pride" to the
gerrymandering tactics Of the old
parties in their re-apportionment of
various states for congressman. In
each state, the minority party is
showering vituperation on the ma
jority party for so apportioning the
state as to practically disfranchise
the minority. In these states the
g. 0. p.'s have shown how extreme
ly dishonest they are in dealing with
subjects of as vital Importance as
the election of lawmakers. 1t is
too apparent to be gainsaid that
honesty is not factor in their &C
ton. Their acts prove them dishon-
est. A dishonest politician will be
dishonest elsewhere when the pres
sure comes. No man can disfran-
chise his neigbor and be trusted with
his neighbours interests. Until the
politicians of the North learn to deal
honestly with each other and with
the people, they should keep silent
about the disfranchisement Of the
negroes in the South, and vice
versa.

QUEER POLITICS.

The Democrats Of this county, as rep
resented by the county central COM
mittee, are the authors of peculiar
method OF closing up the ranks after the
battle is over. The committee was
blessed with an able, honest executive
head; but because some of the COM
mittee, in their own language, chad it i'm
for him, they took advantage Of his alb
sence from the meeting last Saturday to
declare all the Offices vacant, merely to
elect some one in his place. Although
the old chairman's successor is an excel
lent man; yet the motive that led to his
election will not tend to the promotion OF
harmony or good feeling among those
whs rightly resent such high-handed
discourtesey to his predecessor.
Such procedure may be productive Of
good, however, in the promotion Of in
dependence among voter in Chehalis
county affairs, if he discovers that Demo
cracy in this county is to mean merely
the good OF few.

TOO MUCH OF A RUSH.

E. X. Hawkins, Of Aberdeen, has a
splendid endorsement in this county for
receiver Of the Olympia land Office. H.
III. Sutton has. also. an endorsement for
register Of the same Office. Under srdi-
nary circumstances, there is little doubt
but what one Of these Offices would nat
urally come to Chehalis county. Com
mon sense would iio ate that some effort
be made to unite OF one of these two, as
it is evident that tight for both Offices
will result in the county getting neither.
Mr.. Hawkins application is entitled
to full recognition, and any action over
looking or ignoring it would result in 8
fight that will mean either Mr.. Hawkins
or man from some other county.

An Eastern Manufacturer Experiment.
ing with Fir and Spruce.
TACOMA, Nov. 27.-John J. Reimers, Of
]. j. Reimers & Co., Of Chicago, left last
night for home, having made thorough
inspection of the spruce and fir timber of
the Pacific Northwest. The object Of his
visit here was 10 investigate the PROPOSE
ton Of utilizing Washington spruce for
wagon boxes. Before leaving for Chicago
Mr.. Reimers said:
Washington spruce will answer for
wagon boxes, but what is. l suppose, of
more interest to Washington people is the
fact that Washington fir will also answer
for the same purposes and also has some
advantages over spruce, one, for instance,
being that it will not warp like spruce.
l have some OF your fir now en- route east,
out of which shall make wagon boxes. !"
Speaking of the fir forests. Mr.. Reimers
said:
II was brought up, as you may say, in
q sawmill, and must say the lumber
men Of Washington have bonanza.
Puget Sound has great future in the
lumber business. Some oil your sawmills
in Western Washington are making
money; others are no: making cent.
They are not making any money princi-
pally because they are trying to see how
many logs they can murder. They do
not try to get all they can out u them,
they simply slaughter them, taking only
the choice cuts. They are losing money
on that portion Of the log of which the y
make no use."
