BILL ARP
on THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Everything looks hopeful. Even
the EeSsimlsis and Third party
folks must admit that The prospect
for better Times is bright and grows
brighter as the season advances.
| have recently travelled over five
States and have never seen more
promising crops. The wheat and
oats are already harvested. The
corn is on strut and much of it is
secure even though a drought
should set in. OF course there will
be enongh cotton made and as the
reports show less acreage,the price
must 20 up in proportions. Besides
all this he people have been re-
irenching in her family expenses.
We are al my house, and are trying
to follow the lri>hman's advice who
said that the way to get rich is to
bny nothing that you are obliged
to have. never saw such gardens
and II Is a luxurious pleasure to
me to 90 out before breakfast and
dig the potatoes, and | can almost
hear them murnuring in the
ground and saying, Cit furlh"r-
make room-qnit scrouging me-"
We are on he second crop of beans
and third Of peas, and the tomatoes
are SIX feet higa and loaded with
fruit. have goi them s!aked and
ridered and tied and can almost
see them grow. Squashcs and
onions and cncumbers and beels
and okra are abundant, and green
corn and sweet potatoes are in
sight, and with little piece OF ba-
con for seasoning. what more does
poor man want? Then here are
apples and berries all over the
country, and sugar Is cheap and
anybody can have a desert if they
are not too lazy TO make it. One
of my little grandchildren was
trying to earn her Sunday school
lesson, and when her m ,iher ask
ed her, "Why shoul, You love
God I" she answered, "Because he
makes preserves" She was very
near lt-near enough Tor child of
tour years old.
Even politics seem 10 he in a
healthy condition and the cOnser-
yative press all over the country
admits that Harrison and Cleve-
land are good men-men Of prin-
ciple and honorable in their con.
duct and pure in their domestic
relations. In fact Harrison would
be IA gentleman but for his preju-
dices agains, the South. | told my
wife that the country was safe, fol
Harrison and Cleveland and Reid
and Stevenson were all Presbyte
rians and in any event the doc
lrlne of election would be confirm
ed. She never even smiled at my
wit, but piled her needle and
thread as she said, "Will we never
have Il Southern president again Z?
"Whom The Lord loveth He CHI,
creih," said /, "anl our childreI
will live to see the South on tor
again. Mr.. Oates of Alabama, j,
The man for me-. He has got hl
bill through at last. 1t passed

army and navy just like the yam
kees.' And confederate more,
