His Face Set with Diamonds.


A shivering wretch, with barely clothes
enough to dust fiddle with, blew into the
Chestnut street police station on the
wintry blast last night, and applied for
shelter. There was good natured ex-
preston on the poor fellows face that dirt
could not hide. The sergeant looked at
him for moment, and then reflected, Il
never in my life saw man SO badly pock-
Marked" and then aloud he said to the
man at the railing "You must have fell
into keg of nails when you were young
and your flesh tender"
"It's my face you mean, sorf Indeed
did not, but I'll tell you how it was. Twas
the firstborn in my familyyand me father
was the wealthiest man VI Ireland. Not
satisfied with me native beauty, me father
had me face set all over with diamonds,
rubies and precious stones. When l was
ten years of age me father lost his fortune
in an effort to free Ireland, and reluctantly
he was compelled from time to time to re-
move the jewels from me face to pay the
living expenses, and today sorra is the one
left upon me, except a carbuncle on me
neck"
The sergeant called the turnkey and sim
ply said, "This man can sleep here to
night. ."-St. Louis Chronicle.

Give Your Aid.

Never in the history Of the world
were men mere needed than now. To
grapple with the dangers now threat
ening the liberties of the people, re-
quires courage and daring. The cor
porations seeking for additional power,
hope by coercion to hold in their
grasp the toiling millions, and if they
succeed in stilling the outcry now be-
ing raised against further encroach-
ments on the liberties of the people,
the hope of release will die out. Those
now waging the war in behalf of the
people must be firm and steadfast; no
faltering along the line, but with firm
tread the march must be forward.
Many are being forced to admit they
have erred in not taking a stand
against the wrongful legislation of
past years, and only to he led on fully
to renounce allegiance to all parties
whose politics are wrong. Let the

Guilty OF Treason.

General Master Workman Powderly
has addressed letter to President
Harrison and another to Gov. Pattison.
calling attention to the fact that the
laws of the United States and of Penn
svlvania have been violated I'y the in
vasion of the Pinkertons on July 9th.
In his letter to the President, Mr.
Powderly points out that an armed
body sailing under the United States
flag, and not acting under the legal
authority of the state or any county or
municipality, had come up the Monon-
gahela river and had opened fire on
the citizens of Homestead, killing a
number persons. Mr.. Powderly says
that whoever usurped the functions OF
the commander-in-chief of the army OF
the United States il ordering these
men to invade Pennsylvania is guilty
of treason, and should be punished &C.
cordingly, and he therefore asks for an
investigation.
In his letter to the Governor he
points ont the illegality of the act OF
the Pinkertons in operating as an
armed body without the Governors
permission, and asks that steps bt
Immediately taken to effect their pun
ishment. He goes over the whole
| points covered in his letter to thu
President, and asserts the constitu
tional right of the workmen of Home

and navies are not maintained by gold.
In time of panic and calamity, ship
wreckl and disaster, it becomes the
minister of ruin. No nation ever fought
a great war by the aid of gold. On
the contrary, in the crisis of the great
est peril, it becomes an enemy more
potent than the foe ir the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has
been secured. gold reappears and
claims the fruit of victory. In our own
civil war it is doubtful if the gold OF
New York and London did not work
us greater injuries than the powder
and lead and iron of the rebels. 1t
was the most invincible enemy of the
credit. Gold paid no sailor or soldier.
1t refused the national obligations.
1t was worth most when our fortunes
were lowest. Every defeat gave it in
creased value. 1t was in open alliance
with our enemies the world over, and
all its energies were yoked for our de
struction. But, as usual, when danger
has been averted and the victory Sc.
cured, gold swaggers to the trout and
asserts its supremacy"
Is it not little strange that an in
telligent people like the people of the
United States. with their incxhausti-
bic resources and varied industries,
will cling to the cast-off garments OF
monarchy. and permit this metal to
measure their everything of value and
rule them with a tyrant's sway? That
it so rules tn em the gold men them
selves do not deny.-Farm and Home

A Year Like III =.

One of our exchanges reminds is
readers of the peculiar features of the
present year; the high waters, the un-
precedented storms, the destruction OF
property, the unfavorable conditions OF
the season and the doubtfulness of the
crops. Add to all of this the fact OF
its beng presidential year, which al
ways unsettles business to greater ol
less extent, and the people are urged
in the face of all this uncertainty, to
move with unusual caution; to under
take nothing hazardously, to contract
no debts, embark in no doubtful en-
terprises, and keep carefully on tn,
safe side.

HONEST CONFESSION,
A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN ADMITS
WE'RE STRONG.
The Peoples Party Plat'or Declared to
bc One ofth Strongest Ever Put Forth
by a Political Party in the United
States.
Good for tho Soul.

The st. Louis Republic, the leading
Democratic paper west of the Missis-
sippi. hardly designed to notice the
conference of February %, held in
that city, b-t it is very evident that it
now realizes that the movement there
inaugurated has already attained
strength too great to be ignored. In
a late issued it said:
1t must be admitted that the con-
ventlon was great surprise i'll many
respects. 1t was far more numerous
and representative gathering than was
generally expected, and it's work was
accomplished with degree of har-
mony and good feeling that could
hardly have been anticipated from the
heterogeneous character of the organ
izations represented. The factions
and the jealousies that are usually
bred under such conditions were al
most completely absent, and this alone
is sufficient to show that great
dominant purpose controlled the dele
gates and inspired this action. There
is far more promise of permanence for
the organization formed in st. Louis
in February last than any one credited
it with at the time 1t is useless to
longer ridicule or belittle the move
ment it must be rcckoned with as one
of the great political forces that will
make themselves felt in the coming
elections and in all probability in
future elections.
1t was correct instinct that led the
Omaha convention to expend it's en-
thusiasm upon the platform instead OF
the candidates. The platform is one
of the strongest and most effective
documents ever put forth 10y politi-
cal party in the United States. 1t is
couched in the language of agitation
rather than of settled conviction but 1t
is a ringing and forcible arraignment OF
what the Peoples party regard as
abuses in the body polite, and is re-
markahly clear and concise exposition
Of their doctrines upon which they pro
pose to base their CRUSADE. In pre-

bravery there. AS counterpart to
this non-sectional spirit in the South,
many Of the northern delegates in
sisted that the second place be filled
by southern man and one who had
been active on the side of the rebellion.
And so the ticket was made deliber-
ately and on purpose, headed by the
brave general of the North and second

If the Republicans wish to make
sectional strife the issue of the coming
campaign, let them do SO. The Peo-
ple's party has gotten beyond that.
The Republican party has been talk
ing peace and reunion and fraternity
for the past twenty years, but the
moment the Peoples party makes a
practical example of that fraternity.
the Republican papers turn up their
noses and try to prod every old soldier
back into line by reviving the old
sectional hatrid. Greater dupliclty
was never witnessed than in the Re
publican claim Of fraternal feeling
toward the South. 1t exists with the
masses, we admit, but the leaders are
constantly endeavoring to break it
down and kindle again the fires Of sec
tional hatred and arouse a bitter re-
membrance of the sad affairs of the re-
bellion.-Alliance Independent.

Not lDy Mistake.

The partisan Republican papers are
trying to make capital by claiming to
have discovered that General Fields,
the Peoples nominee for for vice-presi-
dent. was way up rebel. Let it he
understood that these bright Republi-
cans have made no discovery. The
Peoples party knew GeneralFields' his
tory when it placed him in nomination,
and he is just the kind of man that
the party wanted. The party claims
that there is no cnmity between the
North and the South, that the old
issues of the war have long been settled
and that sad affair is a thing of the
past.
In the convention at Omaha the de-
mand from the southern men was that
the first place on the ticket be filled
by a northern man. Not only that,
but they insist thst the northern man
be one who had been in the Union
