More Advice to Farmers.

Bastrop Appeal; Let us see.
Twenty acres in cotton and five in
corn. Land rich: Twenty bales
of cotton. Long staple. Ten cents
a pound. Fifty dollars bale. One
thousand dollars worth of cotton.
Fifty bushels of corn to the acre.
Five acres. One dollar bushel
for corn. Two hundred and fifty
dollars. All told, $3.50, besides
hay, fodder and cotton seed, which
we should say, ON a conservative
estimate, are worth $3.50 more.
Fifteen hundred dollars, therefore,
are gathered from twenty-five acres,
mule and a Niger = and the
white man gets it all. Why! Be-
cause the niger and the mule owe
the white man at least $1,000 for
supplies furnished to make the
crop. See any money in such
farming? Then 60 into it. Land
plentiful, mules cheap, and niggers
as thick as fddlers in Gehenna.

AS Blind as a Bat.

Seldom has there been victory OF
Principle over power 80 great as that wit.
messed in the make up of the present
State Alliance compared with that OF one
year ago.
At LAFAYETTE a few designing politi-
Clans, both inside and outside the order,
sought to ride into Office, upon the back
of the Union without burdenlng them
selves with the principles of the order

It is said none are SO blind as
they who will not see, and the edi-
tor who wrote the above is living
example of the truthfulness of this
adage. For any man, who pro-
fesses an insi hit into the principles
of trades unions and alliance rules
and objects, to stand up and assert
that the Ocala Demands, or any
other political platform, is part and
parcel of the order, is an absurdity
that any old trades union man will
laugh at. The solid thinking men
of the Alliance can now see the alb

Our Third party friends in their
charges against the Democratic

as the Indian who was told that
feathers make a good soft bed. He
took one feather, laid it on board
and slept on it all night. In the
morning he remarked: "White

Bayard ON the Platform.

In an interview ex-Secretary Ba-
yard said in reference to the work
on the platform of the Chicago
convention:
"The most dangerous and adj
verse force we had to encounter
was the strong combination of the
silver interests which had assem-
bled with all their power to force
the Democratic party into a dec
laration favorable to them or equiv
ocal to the rest of the country. At
ter an all night debate and strug-
gle the emphatic resolution for a
dollar of full intrinsic and ex-
changeable value with the no pa
per money but such as shall become
redeemable in coin dollars OF full
| intrinsic and exchangeable value,
proves a most satisfactory result to
| the friends of sound money which
must commend itself moro and
more to the thoughtful minds OF
the country as the campaign pro-
crosses. 1t has d straightforward
and single meaning which is not
contained in the expressions OF the
Republican party at Minneapolis.
It Is evasive and unsatisfactory.
There was no especial dissatisfac-
ton on the part of the COMMITTEES
that l am aware of with the ulti-
mate expression of the convention
on the tariff subject"

Unfalling Beauty.

The above caption is the title OF the
composition below, which has been Cd
hand for more than two months. 1t IL
the sfirst effort" of young lady toward
newspaper writing. While it is pretty
fair as a school essay, it is hardly in line
as newspaper article. II is published
as matter Of qualification to the young
lady, with the hope that time and expe-
rience will develop the latent ability DIS
played by the writer:
Beauty What world OF pleasure
that one word brings to the mind. What
dreary world we would have to live in
were it not for beauty. Take the beau
tiful flowers and leaves Of spring time,
the bright smiles Of beautiful children,
and the mystic beauties Of fairy land
from our lives, and what would there be
left to live for? But these beauties will
all fade. They were made to fade, and
some of them come again, and we appre-
ciate them more than II we could keep
them all the time. But there Is one
beauty that never fades, and that Is tho
unfading beauty OF the soul snd mind.
| What great influence sweet temper

beauty we should strive to possess. Rosy
cheeks soon fade, but the bright light
that shines forth from the eye will never
fade. The eye has been called the win
dow of the soul, and l think it very
appropriate name. 1t is from the eye
| that the beauties Of the soul shine forth.
Oh. how love to look on the pretty, iri-
pocent eyes of some sweet littl.- child
and read, as it we're, the pure, Innocent
thoughts that / know are hidden beyond
their depths. And then, when sorrow
comes, the unfading beauties OF the soul
and mind shine as the stars at night.
Then is the time when other beauties
fade and are forgotten and the beauties
of a sweet and virtuous soul chiefly live.
1t is then that the sweet thoughts OF a
comforter fall in showers upon some
weary soul, and are like summer dews
falling upon the flowers. There are fad.
ing beauties, such as lovely face, that
some people value above all other beau.
ties, but my opinion lie that OF the poet
who wrote the following verse:

, Kindle never dying fires:

REID AT THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
A Quiet but Pleasant sunday With the Old
Folks at Home

CEDARvILLE, O., Aug. 22.-Whitelaw
Reid has been spending the time quietly
with his mother at the old homestead since
the reception rendered him on Saturday
Mr. Reid and his wife attended the Presby-
terian Church at this place Yesterday morn
ing and occupied the pew in which the father
of Mr.. Reid, an elder of the church, used
to sit with his little family. After the
services were over and Mr.. Reid was
moving toward the door the members of the
congregation crowded around him, and as
be shook each of his old acquaintances bv
the hand, "reminiscences were called up and
pleasant memories revived. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Reid devoted to the society
of his aged mother, whose clear intellect is
alive to all that is going on, and who appre-
ciates keenly the interest in and kindly
demonstration of the esteem manifested
toward her son.
To-day Mr.. Reid was feeling refreshed
from the fatigue of last weeks trip with its
intense heat His injured hand is less pain-
full and gradually improving. Friday and
Saturday he suffered considerably, but did
not permit his affliction to interfere with
any of the arrangements for his entertain
ment. There were some callers at the
homestead during the day, but the list was
limited to neighbors in the locality of Cedar
vile and Xenia. Mr.. and Mrs. Reid will
start tomorrow evening for New York BY
the PENNSYLVANIA limited, due in that city
at o'clock Wednesday evening.

NEW YORK'S SENSATION.
The CuttIng-seligman Marriage Much Dis.
cussed-Rumor That Supplies Win Be
Cut or by the Cuttings and a Separation

The Cutting -Seligman Marriage Much Dis
cussed-Rumor That Supplies Will Be
Cut on by the Cuttings and a Separation
Forced.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Clubdom, SWELL
dom and stagedom here are all discussing
the marriage of Robert L. Cutting, Jr., to
Miss Minnie Seligman, the actress. The
Cuttings have been social leaders in Sara
toga for many seasons and the ab-
sence OF Mrs. Cutting, who is in
Europe, has been greatly regretted
this summer. Mr.. Cutting, Sr., is at Sara
toga, but retuses to talk. A correspondent
SAYS he learns from friends of the old gen.
tleman that Mr. Cutting has given no indi-
cation of his course in the matter. They say
he has been greatly troubled by cablegrams
from Mrs Cutting, now in Paris, which
not to say distracted frame of
mind. and her abnormally nervous
condition makes him as much troubled
about her as he is over the marriage. These
friends say his most probable course will be
to bring about speedy separation, and as
their theory is that the new bride is after
the Cutting cash, they think an annulment
of the marriage will not be very strenuously
resisted after the father cuts off young
'Bob's" supplies
Mr.. Seligman expressed himself as highly
pleased with the choice his daughter had
made, and was disposed to dilate upon Mr.
Cuttings many excellent qualities. He said
that Mr.. Cutting and his wife had left the
city on Saturday night, but to tell where
they had gone would be to betray conf
dence. There was one bit of confidence,
however, which ne was willing to betrav.
1t was as to the age of Mrs. Cutting. "Mv
daughter" he said, 'fs only "a years old
She was born in the house at 80 West
Thirty-ninth street, and had it so re-
corded"
Comment was made by some of Miss
Seligman's friends OH the fact that she had
been married by an Episcopalian clergy
man. Her first marriage was performed by
rabbi. As she has been special favorite
with Hebrew theatergoers, it was suggested
by manager that her renunciation Of her
religion would tend to create feeling
against her.

INDIANA FOR HARRISON.

The Presidents Friends Confident He VIII
Garry His Own State Once More-Dissat-
isfaction Among the Democrats of
Hoosierdom on Account of Several
Things.
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-[Special AT
torney General Miller, who has been out in
Indiana looking over the political field and
at the same time enjoying a vacation, has
returned to Washington, and was at his
desk in the Department of Justice today.
He declined to be interviewed on the situa-
tion in the Hoosier State, but his personal
friends say he is very we'll pleased with the
outlook from Republican standpoint.
The Republicans are counting upon carry
ing the State because of the discomfort
among the Democrats over the new tax law
passed by the last Legislature. It affects
the farmers particularly, and they are ex-
ceedingly bitter in their denunciatlon of
the politicians who enacted the obnoxious
law.
There is also remarkable lack Of en-
thusiasm among the followers of ex-Gov-
ernor Gray, for they feel that they were be-
trayed at Chicago after they were given as
surances by the friends of Mr. Cleveland
that their man should have the second
place upon the ticket. They claim that it
was the action of the Indiana delegation,
under the leadership of Senator Voorhees,,
in going to the support of Cleveland, that
made his nomination certain. They also
remember that two of Mr.. Cleveland's most
trusted friends threw away the votes Of
Michigan and Wisconsin, which should
have been in the Gray column.
They still remember how they marched
IL LII
ing Gray banners Just before the balloting
for the Vice President began, and paraded
among the delegates confident that the
pledges made between Senator Voorhees,
and Mr.. Cleveland's, managers would be
carried out Their modification and disap-
pointment is still alive, and they propose
to have their revenge on election day.
There is another feature in the Indiana
contest which affords the Republicans more
or less comfort. The old soldier element is
being appealed to with good effect. and
through combination of the circumstances
the Republicans expect to carry
the State for Harrison.
