GEN. WEAVER.
Ho Is Doing Gallant Service For
the Peoples Party.
He Boards the Lion 10 His Den at Pulaski,
Tenn.-Rousing reception to the
Leader In North Carolina
Minor Mention.
Weaver at PuIaski. Tenn.

Mrs Mary E. Lease telegraphed the
Chicago Inter Ocean as follows regard
ing Cen Weaver's meeting at Pulaski:
For weeks the democratic papers and
their paid hirelings have made every
effort to stir up hatred and incite law
lessness and violence by sending broad
cast damaging record of Gen. Weav-
er's alleged brutality while stationed at
Pulaski during the war. Threats long
and loud were freely made as to the
summary vengeance that would be dealt
out to him should he even dare to visit
j Giles county. The towards who had
stuffed ballot boxes and denied the
laborers of the south representation a5
the polls imagined they could sup
press free speech also by murderous
threats. These threats were redoubled
and intensified when it was given
out that peoples party rally
would be held at Pulaski, and Gen
| Weaver would then and there hurl the
falsehoodS in the face of his enemies
When it at last became evident that
threats would be futile to prevent the
meeting the state chairmen of the dem
ocratic and republican parties joined in
!
appointment, and the democratic press
shed crocodile tears and moaned that
they had done all they could to avert
trouble, and that now Weaver would
be responsible for the trouble he would
bring upon himself But neither
threats or entreaties prevailed and not
w1thstanding the heavy rain during the
morning great cheering crowd of over
1000 greeted Gen. Weaver and escorted
him to the fair grounds where
formore than two hours they listened
to peoples party principles. The
press of the whole country was also
well represented and in unmistakable
and forcible language Gen. Weaver
hurled the falsehoods in the face of the
enemies of law and order and bade
them defiance in their own stronghold.
The falsifiers fled, and while the peo-
pies party meeting was in progress
they were addressed from the court
house steps by E. w. Carmack, editor
of the Memphis Commercial, and Bill
Nuble, democratic lawyer, who had
previously advised every democrat to
bring shotgun and prevent Gen.
Weaver from speaking. Their conster-
nation and baf1ed rage was terrible,
but it expended itself in passing reso-
lutions and using language that drove
every decent democrat out of the vile
crowd. 1t is the worst and most telling
blow that the organized democratic
outlaws have yet received, and it's eff
feet will be national John H. Nc
Dowell, of Nashville, confederate
soldier and state chairman of the peo-
pies party of Tennessee, introduced
Gen. Weaver in a glowing and eloquent
address. He convinced his hearers that
Notwithstanding the efforts of the
democrats 1.-The war was over" His
words were cheered to the echo.

An Old Party Trick.

Chairman Briedenthal, chairman of
the Kafsa peoples party central COM
mittee, was recently arrested on the
charge of doing banking business
without having complied with the law.
The charge is based on an advertise
ment furnished in the official organ of
the colony, which states that the Kan
sas-Sinaloa Investment Co. will tran
nit money free of charge to members
of the Credit Foncier Co. in Sinaloa,
Mexico, the money to be remitted To
Mr.. Briedenthal, secretary, Enterprise,
Kan, who issued certificates of deposits
for same, which are sent to the colony
by mail. Briedenthal's friends de-
pounce the arrest as move for political
effect. This new move of Mr.. Brieden-
thal's political enemies only make that
gentleman smile at the desperate meas
ures they are driven to in order to stem
the popular tide in Kansas. 1t will not
win.

North Carolina Ablaze.

Gen. Weaver received great ovation
at Raleigh, Grensborough and Fayette-
vile, N. G. The people fiocked to hear
him by thousands from all parts of the
country. At least $500 people greeted
him at Fayetteville. At Raleigh the
people attended by thousands Such
crowd of farmers was never seen there
before, and will not be soon again
They went to see the next president; to
see candidate that is pledged to equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, the first of the kind since the
rebellion Many of the carriages and
wagons contained from five to ten peo-
pie, and some of the buggies had two
and three men. The horsemen rode
from four to six abreast 1t was an in
spring scene. Several democrats said
''they didn't know there were so many
third party men in the state" 1t is
safe to say that between four and five
thousand rode in the parade, and con-
servative estimates place the number of
persons in attendance at 10000, all
anxious to hear the peoples friend and
candidate for president

enforced in the postal service. This is
the rational Interpretation of the fol-
lowing plank from the peoples party
national platforms:
'We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations must
either own the people or the people
must own the railroads-and should
the government enter upon the work
of owning and managing any or all
railroads, we should favor an amend
ment to the constitution by which all
persons engaged in the government SER
vice shall be placed under a civil service
regulation of the most rigid character,
so as to prevent the increase of the
power of the national administration
by the use of such additional govern
nent employees"
1t is the true and only rational and
feasible solution of this great problem
now vexing the minds of the american
people.
If the organized railroad employees are
true to themselves, their principles and
demands, the peoples warfare upon
capitalized fraud will not have a ten
dency to reduce their wages Let or
ganized labor prepare itself to become
one of the millstones between which the
plutocracy must inevitably, sooner or
later, be ground to powder.
f. A lack of familiarity with the we'll
worn adage, ''It is poor rule that will
not work both ways"
Railroad employees, least of all men,
can afford to forfeit the esteem and
lose the sympathy of the general pub
lie. During times of railroad strikes
the o.ce of public sentiment, if it be
friendly to the strikers, is potent in
fiuence in the direction of bringing a
railroad corporation to terms. 1t is
very rarely the case that legislature
meets that it is not waited upon by one
or more committees from organized
bodies Of railroad employees, demanding
legisl.tion in their behalf. If there Is
any one class which more than another
invokes the aid of the law to protect its
interests and rights, it is the class
known as railroad employees. This be-
ing the case, what valid reason car
they offer for the invocation oi
legislative protection when they
are unwilling to accord such pro
lection to the residue of the PEG
pie? In the event of a strike it 1.

Alabama Omcials Arrested.

political sensation was raised in
Alabama by the arrest of Judge S. T.
Frazer and Circuit Clerk Alexander
Pickett, of Bullock county, on charges
of violating the United States election
law in the appointment of managers of
the November election in that county
They were arrested by deputy United
States marshals acting under orders
from Marshal Ben Walker. 1t is al
legged that they refused to appoint the
inspectors submitted by the third party,
and the charge is that they violated the
federal law, which requires the probate
judge, clerk and sheriff to appoint rep
resentatives of the different political
parties as managers at state and federal
elections The affi1avits We're sworn
out by third party men.

That Monetary Conference.

The London Statist of September II
opens with an article on the interna-
tional monetary conference with this:
''It is to be hoped that the new govern
ment will have the courage even now
to withdraw from the international
monetary conference" The writer says
that neither BIr. Gladstone, as premier,
nor the chancellor of the exchequer,
has any sympathy with the object of
the conference. They know England
will lot taInper with its monetary
system and they must feel, there
fore, that they will be in a

In North CarnIina.

DR.. Exum, the peoples candidate for
governor of North Carolina, figures out
the result of the coming election in his
state as follows: my figures for the
three parties are these: Peoples, 12O,-
600, of which 10000 will come from
democrats and $4,000 from the repub-
icans; the voting strength of the two
old parties has been $50, 900 democrats
and 12o, 900 republicans. OF the voters
who have come over to us expect TO-
600 will go back to the democrats and
5000 to the republicans In that event
the figures will stand: Peoples party,
los, 900; repu bicans, 5000; democrats
between 10000 and $4,000 I believe
that the majority of our nominees for
the legislature and congress will be
elected"

The south.

Gen. Weaver has been all through the
south except West Virginia and he finds
the people accepting the new doctrines
with avidity and turning from the old
parties almost in armies The best
feature of the success with which the
movement there has been attended is
the fact that the ex-confederate sol
diers have been won over almost to a
man, while the farmers are also heartily Y
indorsing the party. He declares from
mis- experience and observation that the
nopulist movement il the south has be:
come formidable, and is not move
Inent for the hour, but has come to
STAY.

An Inwa nodCe.

The nomination for congressman by
the peoples party of the Dubuque Ga
district has been rejected by the secre-
tary of state at Des Moines on the
ground that it was not submitted in
time. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Sullivan,
the candidate nominated at the Inde-
pendence convention, has not qualified,
and the peoples party is without a
candidate. His party did not cast two
per cent of the congressional vote at
the last election for congressman, and
petition was necessary. This petition
did not reach the secretary in the time
specified, which is thirty days before
the election.

After the Union PACIFIC.

A late Omaha dispatch states that the
peoples party has determined to file
complaint before the commerce commits
sion against the Union Pacific for re-
fusing to grant reduced rates to the
Omaha convention. They claim that
they are just as much entitled to them
as were the republicans and democrats
when their national conventions were
held.

Mr.. Briedenthal, chairman of the peo-

A Blue Day.

No matter how happy or prosperous
you may be there comes once in while
dark, hateful sort of shadow into your
life that you call blue day. 1t may be
that it is in reality a stormy period with
a great downfall of rain and lowering
clouds that give no promise of blue sky
or sunshine. Then you say you are de-
pressed by the weather and you brood
over everything that has gone wrong with
you for a year or is liable to go wrong
with you for the next decade.
You sigh and many time shut your
self up in your room and have good
comfortable cry over something that is
not tangible, yet seems to weigh upon
you like ton of iron. On another oc-
casion, even though the sun is shining
brightly, the birds singing and all nature
bursting into a.song OF joy, you awake
with that sense of oppression and de-
preston, and you confidently remark,
This isgoing to be one Of my blue days"
Oh, dear sister women, fight off these
indigo horrors. They not only make you
miserable, but likewise all VIII are about
you. The children instead OF running
to you with little joys and sorrows, scent
the unwonted element and whisper
Mothers cross" your husband knowing
that there is no cause for your signs and
saddened looks, loses patience, bangs the
door behind him, and thinks in his Sc
cret heart that all women are idiots and
you get no sympathy in that quarter.
The cook is glad when you leave the
kitchen, and altogether by your depres-
sion you manage to upset an entire house
hold and Undue them with your gloomy
feelings.
Endeavor to strangle at its birth the
first unwarranted intruder. Grieve to
your souls content over the real troubles
Of life, but make up your mind that all
else is too small TO cause you to blight
out the sunshine OF a single day by Civ
ing up TO a fit OF the blues that has no
excuse for its dominion.-Phila. Times
