INSULT 10 GRADY'S MEMORY.
The Conduct of Democratic Leaders and
Newspaper USterances in the South.

The Conduct of Democratic Leaders and
Newspaper Utterances in the South.
Could Henry Gradyrise from his tomb
and behold the writings and speeches of
the leaders of Democracy today he would
feel that all of his efforts to bring to-
gether the sections of this Union were
in vain. He would see, with that old
torn and tattered shirt in hand, our
former leaders whom the people have
delighted to honor rushing from place
to place and trying to arouse the old
sectional feeling.
If he is permitted from that other
world to catch one single view of the
situation as it now exists in his beloved
state we know that it would send a cut
ting pain to his loyal heart.
If he is permitted to glance at the pages
Of that paper that he loved so well and
did so much to foster and build up, we
can imagine his horror when he reads
on its every page articles calculated to
drive the people of this beloved country
apart.
In the work of welding the two sec
lions together his last and best days
were spent, and now to see all of his
earnestness and eloQuence, all of his
mastery pleadings and brilliant writings
thrown to the wind for the sake of par
tisan supremacy!
Can it be that our people have so soon
forgotten the noble words of Grady?
Can it be that our people will again bow
to the cry of the ''bloody shirt" howlers?
We do not believe it. Such men as Lewis
Gerard, A. d. Gambler, w. Y. Atkinson,
be leaders may howl, but the people will
not be deceived. The south, like Grady,
has buried the bloody shirt, and no
amount of incendiary speaking or writ
ing can resulTect it from its peaceful
slumbers. These sections are one peo-
the popgun variety may tear their hair
in rage, but it will be Of no avail.
For twenty-five years the people have
followed these leaders blindly. They
asked no question, save, SIS he the NOM
inee?' Steadily they have grown poor
er and poorer, and today these same
leaders denounce us as anarchists, so
cialists and cranks, simply because we
demand our honest ghts-demand SIM
pie justice.
We do not believe that the people can
be scared into party service by any such
a cry. 1t is too old, it has been heard
often before and now the people will
not heed it. They have been ground 20
dust by following the lead of these
bloody shirt howlers, while the ''howl-
ers" have held the Offices and obtain
relief for themselves.
The common people have at last awak-
ened to the situation and undetermined
to throw off the yoke placed ON them by
these bloody shirt politicians. They
have paid enough tribute to plutocracy,
and hereafter they are determined to
vote and act as free men, as intelligent |
citizens of this common country.
This old cry will not succeed any more.
The south and the west have joined |
hands for the common good, and will |
stand shoulder to shoulder at the ballot |
box this fall. No cry of negro supremacy,
If ''force BILL" will keep the people from
standing by their colors in this fight /

d. We believe that the money or the country
should be kept as much rs possible in the hands
of the people, and hence we demand all ma
tional and state revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government eco
nonlically and honestly administered.
(e.) We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings of the people and to facil-
itate exchange.
LAND
Second-The land, including all the natural
resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for spec
ulative purposes, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in excess of
their actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens, should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. being means of ex-
change and public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads in the in
terest of the people.
a. The teegl aph and telephone, like the
postoffice system. being necessity for trans-
mission of news. should be owned and oper-
ated by the government in the interest of the

Des Moines, Iowa, July 6.-Gen-
eral Weaver, the nominee Of the
Peoples party for president, reach
ed Des Moines this evening from
Omaha. He was visited this even
ing by a reporter and was asked if
he had any statement to make con-
corning the Homestead riots. He
said:
81 regard the situation through
out the country as very grave, and
| have believed for some time that
we are nearing serious crisis. If
the corporations and their employees,
between wealth owners and wealth
producers, continue much longer,
they will ripen into frighttul disas-
ter. When Rome was near her fall,
the wealthy barons have their Pink
ertOns.
"They are an armed body Of cruel
mercenaries and a menace to the
peace of society and the lives of the
people. At their bidding, bloodshed
follows close upon the heels of cor
porate tyranny. They must be sup
pressed, and the terrible economic
conditions which have spawned this
cruel army of thugs upon the coun-
try must be changed at once, or the
Republic must give away to corpor-
ate despotism.
"The frightful condition of affairs
in Pennsylvania will strike the
whole country like an alarm bell at
midnight. Public sympathy will
naturally be with the men strug-
Cling to exist upon the earth, and
for their wives and little ones.

THE Republican party is like an
old wooden bucket: long as it is
kept soaked with Office holding and
corruption money, the party hoops
will remain tight and the vessel
solid but just let it be kicked out
into the hot sun by complete defeat,
and it will go to slaves in no time.
The Democratic party is eternal.
1t has one great painciple which is
firmly believed by all the faithful,
i. e., / am a Democrat. That is a
proposition that no one can gain
say or dispute. 1t doesn't require
particle of intelligence to demon
strate the truth. Some folks think
the Peoples party will destroy the
Democratic party and take its place.
That is a great mistake. The Peo-
Piles party is progressive party,
and will take the place of the Re-
publican party. Men may come and
go, but the Democratic party will go
on forever.
When the day for convention is
yet afar off, the plutocrats take
council together. One saith TO an
other, "Behold Benjamin,the grand
son of his grandfather is he not
our true and faithful servant? We
have tried him; we know he will
stand by us. Let us nominate him
on the Republican ticket"
Another saith, Behold Grover,

And the plutocrats laugh in their
sleeves and say, in the language OF
SHAKESPEARE, "'What fools these NOR
tails be; for we have them to fight
ing among themselves as to which
of our servants they will elect; and
now, while they fight, we will go
out among the Alliance cranks and
SOW the seeds of suspicion and set
them to quarreling among them
selves; and we will corrupt some

SLEIGH AND ENGINE.
Eight Instantly Killed and Four Fatally
Hurt.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Jan. ia little be-
fore o'clock this evening party of
twenty-five started out for an evening
of enjoyment of sleighing furnished by
the recent heavy fall Of snow. Of these
eight are now in the morgue and nearly
all of the rest are in the hospital.
The party was made up Of members
of the Glover Leaf Fishing Club, a So
cial organization OF white walters in
some OF the leading restaurants. They
were all in one conveyance, large
four-horse sleigh. Starting out about
7:45. after an evenings drive, they
went to the Delmonico, a road-house
near Forest Park.
The party reassembled at 10:40 for
the return home The drive was COM
menced with gayety but fifteen min
utes later, at the Sarah Street crossing
of the Wabash Railroad, the accident
occurred. A special train, chartered by
local Legion of Honor lodge, was re-
turning from an evening spent at Fer
guson, thirteen miles out. The
train, in charge of Engineer James
Blanchfeld, Fireman Murphy and
Conductor Robert Dalton. was moving
some twenty-five miles an hour, tender
first. Owing to this last fact the en-
gineer did not see the party until fairly
upon them The tender struck between
the pole horses and the sleigh, killing
two of the horses and throwing the oc-
cupants of the sleigh in every direction.
So great was the shock that two of the
injured were afterwards found on top OF
the cab.
The train was stopped within SOC
yards of the crossing and returned to
the scene, where the Legion of Honor
excursionists aided in gathering up the
dead and wounded. The dead and
wounded were placed upon the train
and all taken to the Union Depot,
whence the wounded were taken to St.
Mary's infrmary and the dead to the

Treason IN Spain.

MADRID, Jan. 21.-The organized An
archist movement in the province Of
Malagn, for the suppression OF which
troops have been concentrated at
Ronda, in that province, has been
found to be more serious
affair than was at first supposed. 1t
has been found that the qualifications is
looked for, and there are signs Of re-
newal of the disorders at Yeres, which
city was, short time ago, attacked by a
band of Anarchists, armed with fowl
ing pieces and other weapons. 1t was
necessary to call out the military to
disperse this band and this was
done only after, a tight with the
gendarmes in which the Anarchists
fought desperately. In some quarters
the movement is not believed to be the
work of Anarchists alone. 1t is said
that if the truth was known, 1t would
show that the Republicans are again at
tempting to put into effect their plans to
overthrow the monarchy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21.-News was
received in this city to-day of a terrible
accident which happened at Tiflis, the
capital city of Georgia, in the govern
ment of Tihis and Russian Transcau-
casia. From the reports received here it
was learned that two trains loaded with
petroleum were wrecked and that a
number of persons had met a horrible
death. The disaster happened on the
Transcaucasian railway and was the re-
suit of blunder or negligence on the
part of one Of the employees by which the
two trains we're allowed to dash into
each other while running at high rate
of speed The fires beneath the boilers
of the engines and in the stoves used
for heating some Of the cars ignited the
highly infammable oil with which the
trains were loaded. The oil-soaked
floors Of the cars caught fire like flash,
and III an incredibly short space of time
the wrecked trains were mass Of flames
from end to end. So quickly did the fire
spread that q number Of the crews of
the trains were unable to extricate
themselves from the wreck and were
soon enveloped in the roaring flames.
When the fire had burned out and the
wreck was searched the charred and I'M
recognizable bodies Of SIX men were
found in the ruins.
