THE STUFFED PROPHET"
A Name Bestowed in Derision by the Or
gan of PlutOcracy.

gan of Plutocracy.
New York World.l
The "Stuffed Prophet" that is
the nickname bestowed upon Mr..
Cleveland by the newspaper organ
of plutocracy, which has for years
professed Democracy for the pur-
pose Of betraying it.
The name was bestowed in deri-
sion. 1t was the favorite invention
Of a malice which mistakesin
for wit, 1t was intended for ridi-
Guile, but rightly viewed it is a title
to be worn as an honor.
1t is an honor to Mr.. Cleveland
that he has never had or merited the
approval of the New York Sun. 1t
is credit to him that that Journal
is chief among those to whom Gen
eral Bragg referred when he said:
eve love him for the enemies he
has made"
And there is fitness IN the nick
name, too.
Mr.. Cleveland was true prophet
when he set the face of Democracy
towards reform, foreseeing that the
country would in due time demand
it. He had the gift of the seer when
at the Washington centennial ban
quet he avowed his unfaltering con-
fidence in the wisdom Of the people
who had so recently overthrown his
cause, and his assurance that they
would soon come to a juster view
and vote down the policy of monop-
oily and class privilege and oppres-
sive taxation. They have done il
this year.
And this prophet is stuffed.
He is stuffed with the virtue
which accepts public Office only as
a public trust;
Stuffed with the honor which re
fuses to "palter in double sense
with words or even to keep silence
: when, as at the time of the silve
craze, frank utterance seems t.
promise only destruction for hisowl
' and his party's ambitions;
, Stuffed with sturdy commonsens
which always "sees clear and think
, straight" and SO commend itself t
r the "plain people" who love tn
t right and seek justice;
= Stuffed with foresight unsul
passed by that of any statesman O
S our time;
t Stuffed with a purity of patriot
ism which views place and powe
: merely as opportunities to rende
service to the country;

THE POPULITE LEAGUE.
The Populites Form League Like this
Gideon Band.

The Populites Form League Like this
Gideon Band.
The Alliance meeting in Mem
phis is thing Of the past, says lest
Sundays Commercial, and nearly
all of the delegates left the city last
night. DR.. Macune, however, is
sued a somewhat sensational state
ment over his signature yesterday,
in which he showed up clearly the
Populites' cut and dried plan Of de-
feating him, and the manner in
which they took snap Judgment
upon him by means Of their vile
and slanderous attacks.
Another incident Of Saturday
was the organization of the Indus
trial Legion of the United States,
a society similar to the infamous
GideOn's Band, which, under the
leadership OF demagogues sent out
from the North, have hourished in
several States of the South for the
past few years. Paul Vandervoort
ofNebraska, iscommander-in-chief,
Frank Burkitt, Of Mississippi, vice
commander-in-chief, j. Ell. Turner,
of Washington, secretary, John F.
Washburn, of Massachusetts, quar-
termaster-general, and Tom Wat
son, of Georgia, and j. f. Willetts,
Of Kansas, recruiting officers. 1t
is simply gang of Populites to
hold the party together by an Or
ganization patterned on the Grand
Army Of the Republic.
j. ii. Turner, secretary Of the
league, stated to Commerce. re-
porter that the headquarters of 5he
new organization had not as yet
been determined upon, but that for
the present they would be at Wash
ington, D. G. He said in reference
to the question as to when the work
would begin that it would be start
ed at once.
In regard to the political phase
of the Alliance, H. j.. Loucks, the
president Of the National Farmers
Alliance, says that there was a diff
ference between a partisan body
and a political body, and that while
the Alliance was not a partisan
body it was intensely political. He
further said that the third party
embraced the demands Of the ALI
ance, and that under its new lead
! ers that it would be much less
Democratic than it has formerly
heen.

AN ANONYMOUS LETTER.

my TREND, Dr. Elliott, III ms cosy
little Office in the insane asylum at
W. The blazing fire in the
CRATE cast % cheerful glow around
the room and the doctor, grown
reminiscent over his cigar, had en-
tertained me with stories of all the
good and evil shat had befallen the
inhabitants of my native town. l
had been away for ID years and the
changes that had taken place with
in that time had both surprised and
panied me.
Striving toshake off the gloom that
seemedsettlingover my friends us
ually merry face, | suddenly said:
"What has become Of Margaret
Eastman? Married, | suppose, and
happy, [ hope. Do you remember
the pugilistic encounters we used to
have to see upon whom should rest
the honor Of escorting pretty Mar
garet home from school? Those
were happy days" And as the
memory of some of our boyish
pranks awakened in my mind I
laughedheartily, but the doctorwas
strangely silent.
"What is it, old fellow" [ asked
What can have happened to our
pretty Margaret to cause you to
look SO glum?"
"Well, Phil. you shall hear and
Judge Cor yourself. Pretty Marga-
set, as we used to call her, is an in
mate of the asylum here. Not
crazy; no." as started to my feet
with a cry Enhancement, "butphys-
ieally and mentally a wreck, and,
being withoutfriends and none too
we'll off in this worlds goods, I had
apartments fitted up for her in a
wing of the building, away from the
others, 50 that | might give her ev-
cry care, ard | hope in time to re-
store her mind. Wait; I'll begin al
the beginning and tell you the
whole story" And, Lighting, fresh
cigar. he resumed:
Margaret, as you may remember
was just entering society when yor
left. Her escort, and, in fact, hel
accepted lover, so Dame Rumor haC
it, was Will Dalton. Well, things
seemed to be going on smoothly
enough until one day acollege chun
Of Wills, Jack Ashton by name, ap
peared on the scene. From the
very first Margaret and he were
friends, and it finally ripened int
warmer feeling OH both sides
Each day found Jack, on one pre-
text or another, at Margaret's side
and she daily grew lovelier with tn,
new loVelight in hereyes, while VIII
became sullen and dull, taking lon!
rides by himself and having little t.
say to anyone. This state of affair
could not last long and one da,
there was a scene between Marga

no one cared to ask, for he ha
grown unpopular since Ashton'sad

enced by that miserable note.
For days she required all our
care and attention, but she finally
pulled through and grew strong
enough to sit up, when one day a
boy came up from the hotel with a
from the proprietor to the
effect that was to come down there |
at once, L, of course, lost no time
in responding, and was ushered into !
a room where on the bed lay Jack |
Ashton.
"To say l was surprised does not
express it; regaining my wits, how
ever, | crossed the room, and see
ing he was wide-awake, asked him
if he knew me. He looked at me
for a moment, then with a smile
laid his hand in mine.
81 knew after my first glance at
him that he was beyond all earthly
skill, and being anxious to hear his
side of their trouble, [ asked him
what he was doing here in Marga-
ret's old home without her, and the
sum and substance of his story was
this: After leaving Margaret and
transacting, as he supposed, all his
business, he was preparing to start
for home, when he received a tele-
gram from a firm in. an adjoining
town with who he had dealings, re-
questing him to call upon them,
leaving orders for his mail to be
kept until he returned. Jack set
out, was detained longer than he
had anticipated, and on returning
to the hotel for his mail found Mar
garets letter, inclosing the anon
ymous note. That settled it; no
more business for Jack. He at
once brought matters to a close,
and startingho home on the next train,
found Margaret gone.
stopping for neither food nor
rest he came directly here, where
hope had whispered she wouldsure-
ly be.
"Then the long fasting and sleep
less nights began to tell upon him,
and he found himself unable to
further continue the search.
after he was finished l gave him
apowder to inducesleep, and, prom
Using to return shortly, I left him

pace that would make jocky green

there still has been introduced into
his side of Congress by Senator
Stanford. Mrs. Harrison's idea is
to enlarge the building on the same
architectural plan on which it was
built by the addition of spacious
wings, and thus get room for
the private residence for the presi-
dents family. The offices of the
exective department will remain in
the old part of the building, or pres
emit White House. The additions
will cost $3.50, 900. and Senator

Good state rights Doctrine

One of the problems that this
country must grapple Immediately is
that of land irrigation or rainmak-
ing. whichever method will bring
water to the agricu!turist in the
west. Here the richest crops of our
country can be grown, and popula-
ton is pressing hard on the borders
of the desert. The Mormons in
Utah found out how to irrigate and
bring great crops. What Brigham
Young and his slaves did other peo-
pie can do.
The question of who shall perform
the work of irrigation is difficult
and even dangerous one. The UNI
ted States government itself cannot
build and control irrigation works.
Their construction and maintenance
would require a sum of money beside
which the appropriations of even the
billion dollar congress would pale.
Private corporations could be depend
ed on to construct and run the works
lin their own interests. If they
were allowed to do it they would
presently swallow all the arid states
whole, ms the Louisiana lottery swat
lowed Louisiana.
The United States land commits
sioner, however, makes a suggestion
that will fit the case. lie recon-
mends that congress transfer the
whole matter to individual states, CIV
ing them the land and allowing each
TO irrigate her own section according
TO her geographical requirements and
then dispose Of the quarter sections
10 farmers on her own terms. The
full development of several of the
new states and territories depends on
this matter of irrigation and 1T is
reasonable to suppose that each state
can look out for her own interests
best.
