DEMAGOGuE HuMBUGGERY.

DEMAGOGUE HUMBUGGERY.
If the Democrats of this county |
who were present at the speaking
here Monday ever had any doubt in
their mind of a conspiracy between
the Republican and third party to
destroy the power of Democracy in
the South, such doubts were COM
pletely effaced by the hypocrisy Of
SCOTT, the Kansas Republican, and
MCDOWELL, the political disorgan-
izer of Tennessee.
The latter has capered all over
the State during the past two years
claiming that he was a Democrat,
but the rank and file of'the Democ-
racy were not deceived.
The farmers of the South, and
the great conservative masses of the
people North and South, have dis
avowed all sympathy with the per-
sistent and dishonest efforts on the
part Of the demagogue agitators Of
the Ocala heresies to poison the
mind of the farmers against all peo-
pie who live in the towns and cities,
and the methods to which they have
stopped to arouse the worst preju-
dices and array one class Of people
against another.
The farmers know that nothing
more hurtful to their individual in
, terests could be imagined than this
| stirring of up strife between people
who have no cause for such enmity
against each other.
And they also know that SCOTT,
. the Republican emissary from Kan
l sas-the birthplace of this unholy
political alliance for mutual protec-
D tion-has committed himself to the
same work Of stirring up dissensions
i in the South by practicing upon the
y credulity of our people.
In doingth the Republican mis-.
: sionaries and their sympathizers
have made the fatal mistake of com.
d hitting themselves to all the Vaga
n ries and heresies of the third party
J. hoping thereby to build up a fac
I titious public sentiment which vii

WICK claims that he will get the
Republican strength in the county
election. The inference is drawn
from this that there has been a deal
which means that the third party
and the Republicans have joined
forces for common purpose, such
purpose being the defeat of a Dem
ocratic nominee. The third party
in Benton County can not possibly
hope to play any important part in
the elections this year, except to
take some few independent votes
that have not been identified with
anyparticular party. Honestly and
directly it does not hope, and can
not hope to accomplish one single
thing. The Republicans hope by
Joining forces with the third party
tocontribute to the defeat Of a Dem.
ocrat. The object is to carry out
the we'll planned scheme to attract
the Alliance vote from the Demo
cratic party. But Democrats viii
not permit themselves to be made
the scape-goats of any Republican
schemes-not this year.

it at Paris where it shared the same
fate as at Mckenzie. Then it was
moved to Hollow Rock, where it is
still doing duty as Mr.. Coles Or
gan,
It was then the boast Of Mr..
Coles friends that he had $4,000
to defeat Mr.. ENLoE. 1t was not
enough, and Mr.. ENLoE was not de-
feated.
We do not intend to detract from
the merits of Mr.. Coles service to
the Democratic party, but it is hard
ly modest in him to claim that he has
added all the increased Democratic
votes to the party in the Eighth
Congressional District
Most people think Mr.. ENLoE
had something to do with that, and
his record shows that the Demo-
cratic majority on his vote increas-
ed from 1900 to LOO in 1886;
from 1,700 to $500 in 1888; from
$500 to $500 in 1890, and that he
has always led the ticket.
Democrats generally think Mr..
ENLoE has made a splendid record.
They know he is honest and true.
They know he works and works
well.
They know he has grown more
and more efficient every year, until
he standsas one Of the leading Dem.
ocrats in the country,
His name and his works are now
known everywhere in the United
States that men read, and there is
not a stain on it.
The people made him and he il
true as steel to them.
They know these things and vii
keep him where he is.
Now is the time we need GU
ablest, truest, and best men in Con
gress.
We are threatened with the fore,

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

COLE S organ, has been distributed
in supplement form all over this
Congressional district as cam
paign document.
Of course Mr.. Cole has the right
to write, print, and pay for any mat
ter he maywish tocirculate, and the
people have a right to consider it
and determine its worth.
1t contains several points which
Mr.. COLE and his friends rely on
and use on all occasions.
1t claims that Mr.. ENLoE said,
"Two terms in Congress and $780,
600 is enough for any man"
Mr.. ENLoE never made any such
statement in any speech, or letter,
or in any other manner, as the Dem
ocrats Of the district who heard him
and read his letters we'll know.
What difference if he had? That
is a dead issue.
Mr.. COLE made the same state
ment two years ago, and the peo-
pie settled it in Mr.. ENLoE's favor.
They want the best man, and
they think Mr.. ENLOE has proven
himself one of the best Congress-
men in the United States, and they
are determined to keep him in the
front to fight the enemy.
1t contains an alleged quotation
from a speech by Mr.. ENLoE at Big
Sandy, in this county. No such
speech was either made or publish
ed, and the two quotations are from
the same mandatory.
An attack is made on Mr.. ENLOE
because he missed q single vote on
the silver bill, though his vote did
not effect the result, and he repeat
edly voted for free coinage after
ward, at that time, and he again
voted for it a few days ago when il
came up in the House.
Mr.. COLE well knew that Mr.
ENLoE did all he could for the free
coinage Of silver, and yet the effort
is made to deceive and mislead the
people, and make it appear that Mr.
ENLoE lodged and then lied abou
it.
Mr.. ENLoE has informed hi
friends in the district that as thu
prosecutor in the RAUM investiga
ton, he was detained for a few min
utes after the committee adjourned
as an attorney general is often de
tanned after court adjourns, and tn
brief delay resulted in his name be
ing passed on the roll-call before h
got in the House, so that while tn
committee voted he was denied tn
right to vote on that call, under tn
rules, though he came in before til
, roll-call was completed and aske
that his vote be recorded.
. 1t will not do Mr.. COLE any goo
for him to try to discredit man c
Mr.. ENLoE's well-known fidelity
principle by insinuations that h
! was guilty of either neglect of dut
: or Of dishonesty. There is not
living man who will face Mr.. Ell
LoE and say that he has been eithe
a "pledge breaker" or "brit
taker."

One day last winter he heard an aw-

started on the trail down the hill pick

for Jed to come back and take lick

trembling Jed the more the real nov

"A Gro5eSqae Osu Woman Who W..
Utilized az u Collector.
Every mlddlo-aged Philadslphian
can remember a wild, PICTURESQUE
figure that thirty years ago was az az
familiar asight to the denizens OF tho
Quaker city as the Liberty bell or the
statue Of Franklin over the door of h 10
famous library says the Youths Com
panion.
Irish Sheelah. as the town called
her was a gaunt woman nearly six
feet in height whose vacant eyes told
her story before she spoke.
Since she was child the children
with sound brains had hocted at her
and stoned her. She was a child still
with white hair and wrinkles. She
knew nothing; she did not even know
that the learning and thought and
pleasure were in the world in which
other people found their life.
Her only enjoyment.was in the tags
OF bright ribbon stitched in her old
skirt which the children gave hen,
from their doll rags. These were all
that she would accept from them; she
was never known to take money. That
was the one sound spot in her poor
crazed brain-a fierce pride of inde-
pendence.
Her old mother became helpless.
Sheelah could not work. but she would
take no aims. She donned a mans
coat and high hat and set out Ito earn
money like man, - only to be tol-
lowed by larger crowds OF children
than before. Charitable friends at
tempted to send the two helpless
women to asy]ums. But Sheelah de-
clared that no one but herself should
support her mother. On this point
she was resolute and-sane.
1t occurred to some one to make of
her street debt collector When a
creditor despairei Of payment of a
small bill he gave it to her. She
stationed herself with it silently upon
the curbstone in front of the debtor
house. She made no disturbance and
could not be driven away. But every
passer-by understood why the we'll
known grotesque figure was there
The deliqnuent seldom was able to
bear the modification for more than
one day. ..u. ...~..
For twenty-five years the poor.
flighty creature pursued this strange
calling in order, as she persisted Ito

death, she grew rapidly more feeble
and wild
But she had one solid comfort Pm

The poor demented woman, at
whom so many people had laughed
died at last. Under her pillow was
left money enough to bury her.
Even in the grave Sheelah proudly
paid her way. ~: .-...
How many Of those who laughed at
her could make her boast?
