DON'T FORGET THE VETERANS.

Let all the heroes sleep
Meath flowers of love tonight;
Put on their honOred graves
Red rose and lily white.
Were all this nation fair
One bed of floral blooms,
Their fragrance would be less
Than comes from soldier tombs.
Don't wait until the hand
Lies pulseless on the breast;
While yet the heroes live
Let our love be expressed.
Each year the veteran ranks
Are mown to I'LL the grave,
And meath the silent stars
They sleep where grasses wave.
Not long will they remain
To fire the youthful breast
With love for native land
How fast they seek their rest.
o bless the living heart!
Don't wait until they're dead
Don't give to them stone
While yet they cry for bread.
Nor give the dead the less,
While for the hearts that ache
ask your richest flowers
For truth and honor's sake.
In youth they suffered much,
And are untimely old;
Don't keep your gifts of love
Till their brave hearts are cold.

A South Carolina cattle dealer |

A South Carolina cattle dealer has
recently made some experiments in the
use of cottonseed meal and hulls for
cattle feed. The experiment was begun
with six of the animals in December
and with four in January. The ten
were sold on the 25th of March, at
which time the average increase in
weight was about thirty-one per cent.
These cattle were fed exclusively on
cottonseed meal and hulls, mixed dry
and fed night and morning. The cost
of feed was twelve cents per head Del
day.

Alley Ball Yesterday.

At Gallagher's alley on Ridge street
an interesting game of alley was played
yesterday afternoon for $40 side. The
contestants were p. ]. Heron, of Mil
nesville, and Thomas Hanlon, of Latti-
mer. against James Heron, of Free
land, and John Gillespie, formerly of
town, but now of Hazleton.
When the game was arranged a week
ago it was intended to raise the stakes
to $25 side, but the visitors were not
prepared to go above $40 a side when
they met yesterday. The two last
named players are well-known Tigers,
and their friends were out strong with
the material to back them in the game
A comparatively small amount of
money changed hands, however, as the
Freeland boys were unable to get many
bets.
The first half of the game was played
with dead ball." and the score kept
see-sawing for quite time until the
visitors struck good hand and made
the first 81. Their opponents then had
Is.
The Give ball' was brought into play
at this point, and the Tigers ran their
score up with perfect eaee, giving Her.
ron and Hanlon only points while they
made 90, winning the game by the score
of Il to 2S.

ing, played at Audenried on Thursday
evening, and the PLain Speaker gives the
following account of the performance:
A crowded house greeted the company
In Its production of the temperance play
'"The Social Glass" The members of
the company acquitted themselves with
great ease and marked ability during the
play, which kept the audience interested
during the piece.
The many effective illustrations of the
temptations which led victim of the
vice of intemperance almost to degreda-
ton and ruin, were put forth by the
members of the company in very effec-
tive manner aud brought rounds of ap-
plause from the audience; while the hui
morous situations which occurred were
very pleasing and filled in their part in
creditable manner.

A Coincident.

During the debate at the opera house
on Friday evening, one of the speakers,
A. NJ. McNulty, furnished as part of his
argument against protection the differ
ence in the Mckinley tariff rates on the
goods bought by the rich and those
bought by the poor. He termed it
the "Two Counters" and gave very
instructive explanation how the working
classes are Disseminated against.
The next morning those who were at
the opera house were surprised to see a
large illustration on the front page of the
Philadelphia Record, naming the identi-
cal articles and rates which Mr.. McNulty
used in his address the previous even
ing.
1t is certain that neither knew of the
others intention to bring out such a
strong argument against the protective
humbug, and the coincident has receiv-
ed much comment since.

in Pottsville Jail on Thursday for the
murder of Justice of the Peace Michael

Phillips was given a hearing before

being committed. He stated that the
shooting was the result of quarrel.
O'Donnell, who was returning from
his work in the mines in the morning,
was called into a saloon by the constable,
and the two began arguing. O'Donnell
accused the constable of not attending to
his duties. Phillips denied this and the
two men came to blows. The landlord
hnally succeeded in parting the two men
and Phillips went home.
Ihe squire left the saloon by the rear
entrance in company with the landlord.
On the way home they had to pass
Phillips house. While they were still
a few yards from the house Phillips
came out and fired three shots in rapid
succession. The first two shots flew
wide of their mark, but the third enter
ed O'DonnelPs left breast penetratinp
the heart. He died Instantly. Roth

In the numbers in line Wilkes-Barre
took the lead. The first exercises there
was an allegorical representation of the
landing of Columbus, at $50 A. NJ, on
the river bank. Later all the school
children of the city paraded and passed
in review before prominent men.
Later in the day the grand parade
took place and was magnificent spec

in line. In the evening the large ar
mory was packed to hear music and ad-

was followed by fine display of fire
works.

A BUSINESS CHAT.

Farmers, let's lay aside politics and
parties for a few minutes and talk
strictly business and horse sense.
When Providence cuts off your crop
of grain, cotton or tobacco, OF your
hogs die with cholera, you should not
complain, for no earthly power can
prevent that.
This is the year 1892. You have
made a very good crop of wheat, but
the outlook forycorn, cotton andtObacco
is not so good at present, it being dam
aged by rain, But we hope, even yet,
that a fair crop will be n de. How
ever, unless there is a change you will
not receive actual cost for the results
of your toll. You didn't last year.
You are nov aware that "Overproduc-
ton" is not the cause, for such an as,
sertion is to say that Providence has
made a mistake, and we know that
millions of people go to bed hungry
every night. There is not a village or
town in the United States that has not
people who are scarcely able to exist.
In cities they r counted by thousands.
But if O should produce twice as
much as you do that would be no cause
for suffering. Think of a horse starv-
ing in a corn crib, surrounded by oat
stacks and loads of clover hay. Has
a man any cause for complaint if he
has great loads of eatables all around
him and access to a clothing factory9
you see that the causes assigned
by the plutocrats are absurd7
Now we will draw another picture.
A merchant opens a store with a stock
of goods worth SIC, 1000. By force of
circumstances he is compelled to sell at
a little less than cost all the time. Ex-
penses go on, he hopes against hope.
He must either make an assignment O r
quit business, sooner or later. Now
every farmer in the United States is
doing business on the same plan. You
are getting poorer every year; your
land, horses, everything has depreci-
ated in value until you cannot get
more than half as much for them.
This is the state of affairs in the New

Fellow citizens, the Peoples party is
the John L. Sullivan among the parties,
anyhow. Their knees knock together
whenever the young giant is men
toned.
~ Col. J. P. Caldwell, of the Char
lotte Observer, has written the most
sensible editorials about the Omaha
business that we have seen from the
anti side. If Col. Joe had the party
collar off a little while he could do the
convention full justice. When we con-
slider that the Democratic party, inthe
good old days, when it's leaders were
honest, fully endorsed such "vagaries'
as the Omaha platform contains, we
wonder why all good Democrats don't
go to the new party. Perhaps they
will later on.

SOME QUESTIONS.

Zeke Bilkins rang our telephone bell
the other morning and proceeded to in
sist on being gorged with information.
He first wanted to know how and why
it is that ministers of the Gospel tote
temperance pledges around for signers,
preach against liquor and saloons,
pray God that all such degraded places
of business be closed, and then when
election comes refuse to vote the Pro
hibition ticket and vote the Republican
or Democratic instead.
We can't tell Zeke why it is. Per
haps the preachers r trying to de-
ceive their Master and their church
members when they pray for all those
things to be blotted out and then vote
for a continuance.
Then he wanted to know why it is
that farmers and mechanics wear long
and solemn faces, declare they are
ruined, that they can't get cost for
their labor, that the plutocrats are
robbing them, that the old parties have
deceived the people time and again,
that they have no confidence in them,
that they will not vote for any man or
party that is against certain reforms,
and yet after all this bIubbering stick
to the old parties.
We wish we could tell Uncle Zeke
just how it is. We think they are
much like the preachers. They think
they can deceive their Creator, their
neighbors and friends by bowling one
way and voting the other. All such
people ought to sit down and think
just n whole day and then they
would act differently.

England States where the farms are in
hearing of factories and city bells
(home markets. It is the same in the
great West. It is the same in the
South. Cattle raisers are in the same
boat with cotton raisers. The fine
stock raising sections of Virginia, Ten,
nessee, Kentucky and Ohio are finan-
cially ruined, and all because the peo-
pie have no money to buy.
There are four great parties before
the country. You r willing to ad-
NIT that Providence is not to blame
for this state of affairs, Then the poll,
ticians and their cohorts-the pluto
crats-must be to blame. You must
see by this time that only by organiza-
ton, education and we'll directed bal
lots can the wrongs be righted. Then
it is your duty to stand solidly in the
Alliance, perpetuate it's principles,
read reform literature and study your
interests when you affiliate with any
of the parties.
