A cold water duel was fought recently in
Antwerp Two friends, tired out with
sightseeing, drank somewhat heavily at a
cafe till they quarreled. Anxious to sat
isfy their honor, they called upon the pro-
prietOr of the cafe for weapons, and, as he
was too peaceful to keep arms on the
premises, he handed them two water pipes
instead The combatants at once set TO
work TO deluge each other, but a few sec
onds' fray was sufficient TO cool their tenn
pers.

Election Brings Them out.

You'll see men out on election

club and hotel man, you never meet
anv other time unless you go to their
places of business. Perhaps you fell

and see each other constantly don't

for thirty years whom I've never met

touching only on election nights.
Funny, isn't it2 And yet your hotel
crowd is but a very small part of the

year in and year out, and you'll find
somebody who has q life membership
in it in any hotel in the world where

The condition Of the Democratic
party in the South is certainly criti-
cal when it took the official count to
determine who was elected to Con-
gress in the late special election in
the Mills district in Texas, that
heretofore gave Democratic majo-
rity of 1000; that at special cleo
tion in Georgia when an ordinary
the same as probate judge, was to be
chosen, Democratic Senators and
Congressnen left their seats in
Washington, Gov. Northern and
other prominent orators went il to
the county to save the party, but
failed. Oh. pshaw it is useless to
shut your eyes to the fact; the Peo-
ple's party is coming, and not even
the impotent wrath of the politi-
clans can stay its onward progress.

GOD HATES A COWARD.

What a coward the Democratic
party is to be sure! Before the war
it was the child of the South and
| drew its inspiration and its strength
from the South.
When the wal broke its bloody egg
over the platter the Democratic par.
ty of the North begged to be excus-
ed for doing anything more for the
South than furnishing to the army a
majority of the material that swept
over the South TO its great cost and
sorrow.
The chairman of the National De-
mOcratic Committee was the usurer
who planned and helped 10 furnish
the mone Y that bought from venat
Congress the legislation that drove
a needless sinterest-draWing national
debt into the womb of time there to
fatten on the ruin-racked people of
the South
After the war, the Democratic par
ty protesting great love tor the
South and great sympathy for the
Southern people, has never dared to
or been willing to take a Presidential
| can0ldato from the South.
1t has never cared or dared to take
a Vice Presidential candidate from
the South, nor has it ever cared to
advance any legislative ideas that
looked to help the South on the way
to general prosperity, as it is the
duty of every party to help restore
the fullest degree of vitality to the
wounded part of the business and
industrial interests OF the country.
Every step Of Southern Democrats
| taken in the interests of the North
ern Democrats since the war has
been at the expense of the South and
for the benefit Of Northern specula-
tors and their Southern allies.
The Prohibition pal ty was the first
to knock down the cruel Mason and
Dixon's line, and go South for a can
didate ON its Presidential ticket.
The Peoples party was the next
to break through the old pre- judice
line and to take an honored and hon
orable Southern man for the second
place on its ticket. .
| For many years tfs democratic
Of the North has worn trousers with
a marvellous narrowness of front
and top and mighty breath of be
hind into which the Democrats of
the South are asked every four years
to climb so as to form soft and will
ing cushion for the great astute to
have behind it when it comes the
time to break its fall and to keep it
| from hruiSinp ifs most vulnerable
part.
Meanwhile if the South considers
itself fit only for Demo crBtic coffin
lining all it has to do is to keep right
on dragging itself to its own funeral.

The people through their chosen
representatives In convention in
Raleigh last week put out a State
ticket. You all know this was
against our judgment and advice.
The reform forces of this State,
while large In numbers, including
more than half of the white people,
yet they are like raw soldiers in a
fight. The undrillet soldier may be
AZ brave or braver than the trained
soldier. but rs a rule he will not
stand under fire as long. The re-
form forces Of this State (while en-
thusiastic for their principles) are
undrilled for hot campaign, have
never been under fire. If fair
campaign could be made On our
principles for truth and right we
would have nothing to fear. But
the politicians and the demagogues
care nothing for truth and right but
to hide 1t. You can not hold them
to the text. You can not get them
to discuss our principles aud answer
our arguments. We knew they
would take refuge behind the negro
question. that ancient fortress of
fossilism, fortress that is as strong
and as curse-bound as the gates Of
hell. They are entrenched there to-
day, and from their battlements of

line batteries ON US. The fight will
be a desperate one. 1t you have
the courage to stick you will prove
that you have a backbone as big as
a telegraph pole. We did not make
this fight, we warned against it, we
knew the advantage the enemy
would have. The people looking
at nothing but the righteousness of
this cause made this fight. But re-
member, Willie it was against our
judgment, we shall stand in the
front ranks Of the fight, and even if
half of the people desert, we will
be found attacking the demagogues
in their fortress till the last vote is
cas-! in November. 1t is now no
longer a question of expedency.

S'me Of the pop-gun editors, com.
menting on the present trouble be-
tween the masses and the plutocrats
in Tennessee. charge that the Farm-
ers' Alliance was responsible tor all
the recent labor troubles. These
editors think they are lying. and in
their own hearts they are guilty OF
lying, for these charges are simply
made to arouse prejudice against the
reform movement. But there is
more truth in what they say than
they know of. The Farm ers' All
ance is not the underlying cause,
but it affords an opportunity for the
effect of the cause. Oppression, in
justice to labor by capital is the
basic cause. This cause existed be-
fore the Alliance was organized,
and would exist to-day if the Alli-
ance was not here. But the fact
that several million farmers and
abore rs are organized and joined in
a common fight for justice gives
hope to the oppressed masses in
Tennessee, and to labor everywhere
and causes them to resent what
they would otherwise be forced to
bear in silence. At more than one
place even in this State we have
had delegations of mechanics and
factory hands to come to our room
at night to assure US that they were
for the reform movement. They
tell us why they are for it. We
have been astonished to learn in
how many ways even here in our
State that labor is pinched and op-
pressed. And even now these men
do not dare to spt-.A out for fear OF
being dismissed from employment
IF the well.to-do citizen only knew
lit, there is little volcano under
every town in America, and If the
wrongs that exist are not right ed by
Legislation there will sooner or later
be an outbreak. The organizing OF
the farmers (the freest class OF
our laboring citizens) Is tinely, and
will re-establish justice for all labor,
and save the country. The mechan-
| les in the towns will vote with the
farmers in November.
