The KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY.

Homer Bassford in the Kansas City Times.
No, we don't live in the city-we jest
got in to-day,
An we're goin' home this evenin',
down in old Cal away.
You've hearn tell of the Kingdom,
about half way 'crost the State
With Fulton an the 'sylum, wRere
lunytics congregate;
Where women all is purity, an men
the bravest set
That ever / have come aerost, in all
my travels yet.
The land is rich an we'll KEEP up by
farmers who know how
To keep Il store. or peddle stamps, or
ride a sulky plow.-
But we jest got in this morn, me and
my wife, I say,
An we're goin' home this evenin'
back to old Galloway.
We'd heerd of Kansas City, an about
that boom OF her'n,
An so we thought we'd come u p here,
an see if we could tuin
The homes dollar here an there, by
buyin' up some land,
An some dav have an auction sale an
hire big brass band,
Like we had read that boomers done,
| when lots was ON the jump,
When men got down town prices for a
! twenty re dump.
So me an May come up here to see
what we could see
That might get her new fall dress
an winter clothes for me.
But, ez I said, We jest got in, an aint
got long to stay,
An we're goin' home this evenin',
Gack to old Galloway.
We met man at 10 O'Clock, who said
he'd show us land,
The very sort, as he remarked, that
| was in most demand.
He Jumped up on a yeller car that
whizzei along bit,
AM then the agent he piled off, an
me an Mary lit.
Give hundred cash will buy this
piece" he said, an waved his
| hand
At what thought to be a most attrac'
tive piece of land.
L looked at Mary an she pulled, an
sorter winked at me,
AM then 1 smiled an stepped aside
an said, "Just wait, I'l see."
But what's the use-I guess L amt go
nothin' more to say
My wife an me air goin' home, doWl
| in old Galloway.
Well said I'd take the land, though
the price seemed mighty steep
Five hundreds lots of money, boy,
tell you, IFS heap.
AM then the man, he smiled an salt
was a lucky chap
To gobble such a bargain up at jest
single slap.
I sorter felt that way myself an Mar.
wasn't blue
Fer IN that piece of land she saw new
winter clothes for two.
But you kin bet that purity soon W
come upon the fact
That for the price the agent asked W
didn't get the tract.
E We didn't know he meant each foot
Mary and me, 1 say
So we're goiu' home this eyenln' bac
I to old Galloway.
: When we say SO much for a piece {
, timber or new grourd,
We're not a pricin' it a foot the Who'll
, four sides around.
We don't do that back there at home
Jest down below old Boone,
, To where the cars will carry US befor
: tomorrow noon a;
I'VE don't cut up our farms and field
to sell at front foot price
D Though I'm allowin' if we did. they

Henry w. GardY,s Words.

We clip the following advice of
Henry w. Grady written to Mr..
Clark Howell, his successor as editor
OF the Atlanta Constitution. 1t
does credit even to his brilliant in
tellect and sympathizing heart.
and should be needed by every
young man;
"My son will be just about your
age when you are about mine, and
he will enter the paper when you
are about where | am. have got
to looking at you as a sort of pre-
figuring of what my son may be and
OF looking over you and rejoicing in
your success, as | shall want you to
feel toward him. Let me write to
you what l would be willing for
you to write for him:
Never Gamble-Of all the vices
that enthrall men, this is the worst,
the strongest and the most insidlous.
Outside of the immortality, it is the
poorest investment, the poorest
business and the poorest fun. No
man is safe who plays at all. It is
easier never to play. | never
played. | never knew a man, a
gentleman and a man of business,
who did not regret the time and
money he had wasted in it. A man
who plays poker is unfit tor every
other purpose on earth.
! Never Drink love liquor and
l love the fellowship involved in
} drinking. Ny safety has been that
| never drink at all. 1t is much
easier not to drink at all than te
drink little. If had to attribute
what I have done in life to any ons
thing, | should attribute it to th,
fact that am | a teetotaller. A
sure as you are born. it is the mos
pleasant, the easiest and the safes
way.
Marry Early.-There is nothing
that steadies a young fellow lik
marrying a good girl and raising
family. BY marrying young you
children grow up when they are
pleasure to you. You feel the re
sponsibility OF life the sweetnes
n of life and YOU avoid ba
' habits. If you never drink
# never gamble and marry early

8 distinguished life you may liv,
g You will be the pride of you father

w. | don't know that there is an
happiness on earth worth havin
outside of the happiness of KNOWN

you have tried to do good. Yo

CRUSH THEM OUT.

Standing Army of Mercenaries ia f.
Menace to Liberty and Good Govern
ment.
The monopoly organs are much dis
posed to sneer at Congressman Watson.
OF Georgia, because of his anti-Pinker-
ton bill. They do not attempt much
argument against it; and in this thev
are wise, for not much in the wav Of
decent argument can be urged against
It. 1t Is not a very easy task for able
editors, whose ordinary duty is to sing
the praises of republican institutions
and popular government to set about
demon strating that for the proper ana
legitimate protection of propertv
IN these United States it is neeessarv
that private bands and armies of mer-
cenary soldiers shall be maintained
To demonstrate this is to very emphat-
lcally unsay what they have already
said II the excellence of republican in
stitutions- Gloss it over and explain
as they will the Pinkerton Organization
Is neither more nor less than mer-
cenary army, whose services are at the
call OF any who will pay for them That
they have, while hired out to corpora

denied, nor can it be asserted that anv
decent attempt has ever been made to
bring the murderers to justice. It will
not even be denied that the nurderers
have been screened and protected bv
the Pinkertou organization. That the
maintenance of such organizations as
tie Pinkertons is a natural if not a
necessary colsequen e and outcome of
the competitive system may be true; If
SO. It is only another proof of the inher-
ent badness of that system. Possibly
the EN- ployme 1t of Pinkertons Is nee
essary to enable thieving corporations

TARIFF AND INTEREST.

How Protection Enables the Money Lender
TO Exact UsurH
protection protects the money lender
at the expense of every consumer of
the products created under the system.
A nation with high rate of interest
cannot compete with nation where
lower rates obtain, and hence the de.
mand for protective tariff 1t pro-
tects high rates of interest which must
be paid by the wage-workers and
farmers who purchase the products.
In order to protect the American
laborer, we should. as q nation, estab-
lish lower rate of interest than that
which obtains in other nations.
and this can only be done by
providing the people with money
at this low rate This would
be easily ccomplished by the nation
alization of the banking business OF
the country. Under this system. pub.
lie credit which is the equivalent Of
cash, would take the place of private
credit which bears interest and the
business of the country would at once
be placed on cash basis. without any
violent interference with existing busi-
ness methods Government banking
would secure TO the people the free use
Of the public credit which belongs 10
the people and not to the banks ThiS,
or something similar. must be doae be-
fore the curse of usury can be removed.
