died by the Party Press.
notice that the press of the state
hardly refers to Colonel Folks address
at indianapolis. and yet it is not only u
remarkable presentation of Alliance de-
mands. but of the political ills which
now beset us. Many things he said have
been said before. but he says them bet
ter than have ever seen them said. 1t
seems to he that every paper interested
in financial reform will find something
in it to advance our common cause
against common enemy. They may
not like Colonel Polk personally, and
may not wish to advance his interests in
any respect. but they ought to seize the
ready made weapons of a personal enc
my even to fight the common enemy of
mankind
II they do not hate such an enemy
more than they hate any personal enemy
they cannot lead in this great war
against plutocracy. Like Patrick Henry.
we ought to use every weapon which
"God and nature" have thrown in our
path. then we will win as he did. The
narrow policy of partisan prescription
must soon pass away. We must put
principle before party. The test of
heresy hereafter must not be the mere
adherence to an organization or party,
but the advocacy of principles and in
terests which are dearest to the people.
and to which every party ought to sub
scribe. There can be no difficulty about
the rectitude Of our party affiliations
if we advocate the right principles.
ChurchisIn is not favorable to Chris
tianity. and partyism is not favorable to
reform. Churches and parties will take
care of themselves if religion and prin-
ciples are faithfully promulgated. If
could hear less talk of the Democratic
party and more talk of Democratic prin.
ciples, should have more hope of re-
form. A Democratic partisan belongs"
to the party and he will not ask many
questions about whether it ID right or
wrong A Democrat from principle
will see to it that his party, or some
party. shall advocate what is right. One
makes party the standard or criterion of
right: the other makes right the stand !
ard or criterion of party. Much if not
most of what Colonel Polk said is the .
best Democracy ever saw. II my party
is hurt by it. then it needs reform.
Does Democratic partyism stand in
the way of the triumph of Democratic
principles? Then let us have less of it.
If the partisan" press cannot accept aid
from any source, they put their party
above their principles or make party a
test of principle.
Personally | care for nobody in this
fight. but want fair play for everybody.
If the press of the state will treat
Colonel Polk fairly when he is right.
they will have more influence with the
people to correct him when he is wrong.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

| Last year the Alliance membership in
Arkansas was 10000. Now it is between
81. 900 and 10000.
Every county Alliance in North Caro-
lima has adopted the Ocala platform
without nay. That's the way they
''split on the subtreasury."

engaged ON the problem of how to swal-

sas Redeemed" headlines of the past
three weeks.
The old party papers say that there is
room for but two parties in the United
States. The election in Kansas shows
that the Peoples party is one of them
and that the Republico-Democrat is the
other. Peoples Paper.
What will the Democratic party do
next year? If it demands free coinage
Wall street will go back ON it, and if it
does not demand free coinage the south
and west will go back on the party, and
yet the national convention must do one
or the other.
Failures, defalcations, suicides and
trust combinations multiply. We are
the richest nation in the world and yet
we are not happy. That we are wan

goes without saying. The sun of pros

principle upon which business is pros
ecuted is immoral, unchristian and I'M

ton.
If the Topeka Capital is to be believed
at all, Kansas presents some very curious
figures. 1t starts out in the first place to
prove that Kansas farmers are made up
of dead beats and regulators, and then
follows it with long rows of figures TO |
prove that the farmers are paying off |
more mortgages than at any time in the
history of the state.-Hutchinson Kan.)

Benjamin Franklin said, when you |
are in debt you give another power over
your liberty" The Republican league
manifesto says: "Our debts stand for
our investments and not for our losses.
They represent our enterprise and not |
our misfortunes, our property and not
our poverty" We don't know now you
feel about this. but with Franklin's rep
utation for honesty and integrity. and
the Republican party's record Of dis
honesty and infamy, we prefer to think
Franklin is right.-Plow and Hammer.

HOMESICKNESS

If should leave my home, and go away
TO pass a year and day
Mic other scenes, should not early lind
That ! had LETT behind

Which could not follow me?
And if, when The allotted time had passed,
l turned my steps at last
To enter at the old familiar door
Of kindly home once more,
Might l not learn that what my heart had
With back-returning thought,
Was missing still-in homes securest spot
And could find 1t not?
Might ! not vainiy wander to and fro
Seeking again TO know
That fond completeness Of felicity
Which could not follow me?
All yes land if q longing soul in heaven
Free passport might be given
To come again, and tread earth's weary soil
With feet unused to toll
To leave the converse OF eternity,
And lingeT lovingly
Ger earth's poor haunts, the playground OF
those years
SO would il find that nothing here below
Was what it used to know
That all the peace which memory had cast
Around the cherished past,
Ali the familiar kindly home-delight
Had vanished from it quite:
Soon would it spread its wings with sigh OF
Too thankful to retain
The power of entering heavens open door,
And leaving nevcrmore.

light
That made this earth so bright
Though all the single Sunbeams, one by one,
Be gathered to the sun;
Assured that there, in fullness rich and free
They viii restored be-

On weary earth below,

Dreams of bliss are mine no longer
Naught but sorrow fills my heart;
Yet, neier shall cease to love thee,
Tho thy heart may never know
Of bright hopes now crushed and bIighted,
Yet twas thee who willed it so.
once fond dreams were mine to cherish.
Hope beanned brightly erSt the while,
Now, alas (! all joys have persisted,
In grief bow at sorrows shrine:

With ITS passionate, subtle power,
Sad and lone tread LIES pathway.
Where dense shadows darkly lower.
