for years-the offer that's made by
the proprietors of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. It's addressed to
you, if you have Catarrh. It's a
reward of $500, if they can't cure
you, no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing-an offer
that's made in good faith by re-
sponsible men.
Think what it means! Absolute
confidence in their Remedy, or they
couldn't afford to take the risk. A
long record of perfect and perma-
ncnt cures Of the worst cases - or
they couldn't have faith in it. 1t
means no more catarrh or $500.
If you fail to be cured, you won't
fail to be paid.
But perhaps you won't believe it.
Then there's another reason for try
ing it. Show that you can't be
cured, and you'll get $500. It's a
plain business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will
pay you that amount if they can't
cure you. They know that they
can--you think that they can't. If
they're wrong, you get the cash. If
you're wrong, you're rid Of catarrh.

Railroads First Country Roads Afterwsrd.

Railroads First Country Roads Afterward.
1t sometimes happens that reform
measure, good in itself, ls put forward at
such time or under such circumstances
as to cause it to be regarded with sus-
picion; SO it is with the agitation for
good country roads, which is being now
so earnestly commended to the farmers
as more pressing issue than govern
ment ownership Of railroads. No doubt
there are many honest people in this
country roads. agitation, but there is
some reason to suppose that the main
motive Of those who are pulling the
wires is a desire to side-track the rail
road question.
Let us consider the matter on its
merits. The farming interests Of the
country, the business interests and the
travelling interests are in a state of re-
volt against the extortion, the misman-
agement and the arbitrary oppreesions Of
the railroads under private management.
Farmer and manufactures, producer and
consumer are handicapped by transpor-
tation rates which constitute far more
serious clog upon commerce than the
tariff ten times multiplied. All attempts
to find redress through courts, legisla-
lures and congress have entirely failed.
The railroads own them all, and public
opinion is fast coming to the conclusion
that naturalization is the one way out.
just at the time we are arriving at a
promising unanimity on this point, comes
up the agitation for better country roads,
as the crying need of our commercial
system. No doubt we need better coun-
try roads, but what do we need first and
most?
What is the use Of better country roads
by which to haul to the railroads, while
the railroads are under arrangements
which would only take advantage Of the
cheaper hauling to put the difference, by
raise Of railroad freights, into their
own pooketsP
Supposing it were question of inn
proving water instead OF land trauspor-
tation. Suppose the main navigable
streams OF the water transport system
were so clogged as to make navigation
dangerous and expensive. Where in such
case should the work OF Improvement
begin? Should it not begin by improv-
ing and clearing out the main streams,
rather than by deepening the creeks
tributary to it, which, clogged as they
may be, yet bring down more traffic than
the main streams can properly carry off?
Let us by all means have a better sys-
tenn of country roads to feed the rail-
roads, but first let US have q nstionalized
railroad system. Otherwise the improved
feeders will only help to pay dividends on
new issues Of watered stock.-New Ma
ton, December III.

The enmity of these men who are anx.

and loyalty to our trust.
At Memphis, DR.. Macune resorted to

resorted to tears, but all to no avail. His

been elected TO congress by the demo-
cratic party as their reward for attacking
the Alliance. Macune is now making
the most of his opportunity to secure a
reward at the expense Of the Alliance.
We have urged our friends to try to
keep the Alliance a non-partissn organ
izstion, for as such it can do the Peo-
ple's party more good than otherwise, as
it educates the masses in the great prin-
ciples embodied in its demands" and
serves as a recruiting force for the party.
The logical results are that Alliance men
must seek political affiEstion in harmony
with their views, or prove traitors to
their own convictions and to the Alliance.
The Peoples party being the only one
which advocates these principles should
expect the support Of the Alliance mem
bers individually, and until one of the
dominant parties advocates these re-
forms, it is but just to support the party
which
HAS THE COURAGE TO DO IT.
Similar conditions arose in the relation
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union toward the prohibition party,
which embodied the principles of the
union in it's platform, and virtually
forced the members of that body to sup
port the prohibition party.
This was the only logical outcome and
was right and just. The battle had to
be fought, however, but the w. G.. T. U.
was equal TO the emergency and parted
company with Mrs. Ellen Foster and her
republican friends, and resumed its
stately course, just as the Alliance is
doing.
One would infer from DR.. Macune's
egotistical defense of himself that he
made the Alliance what it is, while, in
fact, the Alliance found him country
doctor in an obscure town in Texas, and
made for him all he is, including his
financial standing, but his penchant for
intriguing soon aroused suspicion Of the
integrity Of his motives and actions.
The
JUST CRITICISM OF DIR. MACUNE
and other disloysl leaders has often
called forth apologies from true Alliance
men. There are in the Alliance two
classes, one favoring carrying its princl-
pies into political action, the other not.
Our beloved Col. Polk represented the
former when at Indianapolis he said: "I
will go wherever Alliance principles
shall lead me-"
DIR. Macune, his antagonist, and other
southern leaders represent the latter
class, and were bold Alliance men until
it meant political warfare; then they
abandoned the Alliance and withdrew.
Great stress is laid by DR.. Macune and
his friends on the fact that the Alliance
is non-partisan organization. This is
the cry Of the thief to divert attention,
while
HE, THE GUILTY ONE, ESCAPES.
Never since the Iblrth .of the Peoples
party has any member holding Office in
the Alliance used it to advance the in
terests of his own party; the only parties
guilty of this are the "non-partisan
democratic members of the Alliance,
who used their official positions to fur
ther the interests of the democratic party
and cried loudest "stop thief" while point
ing franticsllY to the other fellows to
shield themselves.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-21
WAsHBURNs REPLY TO MACU NE.
An Open Letter in Defense Of the National
Committee Of the Peoples Party.

My attention has been called to the
false and misleading statements OF DR..
Macune in his manifesto from Memphis,
Tenn, November 20, and in his open
letter published in the National EcOnO-
mist December 3.
While I regret it's necessity, feel it
my duty to replv, in the plainest OF
terms, as they allude to me personally.
The statement that the executive COM
mittee of the Peoples party had a suite
of rooms ss headquarters on the parlor
floor of the Gayoso hotel, and that we
arranged slate, established lobby and
controlled the action of delegates either
at Indianapolis, st. L'uis or Memphis, L
brand as malicious falsehood.
Our committee had no headquarters,
Mr.. Taubeneck's room was on the floor
above, two were used officially as ALI
snce headquarters, ore by a person un-
known to myself, and occupied the re-
naming room.
The newspapers of Memphis and citi-
zens in general discussed daily the
merits Of the rival candidates; we as in
dividuals only exercised the same right.
DR.. Macune was not defeated through
the influence of Mr. Taubeneck and my
self, but because of his past record.
The claim that two men could control
the action of the national leaders of the
greatest industrial organization in the
world is not only absurd but is an insult
to every delegate. DR.. Macune has ap-
pealed to every national convention of
the Farmers Alliance for vindlcation at
their hands for something he was
charged with having done. This had
grown monotonous. The farmers were
disgusted. They had whitewashed him
for the last time, and we're determined
to unload their burden.
In the last election of officers, only
TRIED AND TRUE MEN
were chosen, and the demagogues who
had planned to either rule or ruin the
Alliance were shelved.
DR.. Macune's non-partisan (?) demo-
cratic friends made as many states and
worked as openly for him as did the AL
liace friends Of President Loucks. He
allowed his name to be placed in nomi-
nation with that of President Loucks
and did not withdraw FROM the Alliance
until he discovered that he was defeated.
Had he been elected, the democratic
press of the country were ready to an
nounce it as second great democratic
victory, and in this way try to stampede
Peoples party advocates back to their
ranks. This was a broad, deep, well
planned scheme.
The argument used by Alliance men
in favor of President Loucks was that
the northwest had done its full duty in
support Of Alliance principles, that the
south had been honored with the presi-
dency from the beginning, and that 1t
was only fair and just that the northwest
should have it for at least one year. Es-
pecially 30, when the opposition had pre-
sented such an unsuitable candidate as
DR.. Macune, whose elevation to the pres
idency would have been a disgrace to
this great organization.
DR.. Maeune thinks that the Peoples
party got a "black eye" at Memphis.
He tried hard to accomplish this, but
was ANONYMOUSLY defeated, much to

Jonathan grew lividly pale. Mary
uttered a little shrek of dismay.

and these young folks here that I
happened to want little waste pa
per to wrap round this 'ere old china
in my basket, and took the stuffin'
outen the stove-pipe-ain't it now?"
She extended the basket to Mary
Knott. Old Hezekiah bounced upon
it like starved cat on a mouse, and
dragged the paper wrapping forth.
Here it is now-the very hundred
dollar bond!" he shrieked, waving it
triumphantly above his head. "A
merry Christmas! Hooray, Jonathan!
"a merry Christmas! Old woman, !"
to his wife, you're the sensiblest of
the lot"
And so they all sat down to the
first Christmas dinner that Mary
Knott had ever cooked-with bright
faces and joyful hearts.
"Uncle," said Jonathan, show shall

About the MistletOe.

The mistletoe is a shrub which
grows or lives on certain trees, such
as the apple, pear, and hawthorne.
1t is found also on lines, poplars, frs,
and sycamOres, and, more rarely on
Oaks-contrary to the popular belief.
The white berries are full of thick,
clammy juice, by which the seeds are
fastened to the branches where they
take root. The mistletoe has been
the object of very special regard for
centuries, and traces Of this high es-
TEEN still survive in the well-known
Christian custom. One variety of
this practice has it that each time
kiss is snatched under the mistletOe
a berry is picked from the bush, and
that when the berries have all been
removed the privileges ceases The
Druids thought that the mistletoe
which grew upon the oak possessed
magical virtues, and they valued it
accordingly. One of their priests in
a white robe cut of the precious bush
with a golden knife.-Little Folks.
