THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Resolved, That we desire to say to
the members of the peoples party Of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day. The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass of the people, who labor
for living, are opening the eyes of
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
ciples to speedily achieve state and
national triumphs.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the outcry Of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply sham fight, agreed upon
by them, for temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real
questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunningly
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders Of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.
THE FREE SILVER CONVENTION.
Resolved, That we urge that full
delegation 60 from Minnesota to the
Chicago convention. to be held
August 1st, 1893; to protect against
the repeal of the Sherman act and to
demand the full reconciliation Of
silver. We believe that the said con-
ventiOn will be the most important
held in this country, in the last quar-
ter Of century.
RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE.
Resolved, That we have heard
with profound regret Of the great
and irreparable loss sustained bY our
friend and fellow member of this
committee, Hon. FL. P. Bjorge, in the
loss OF his eldest son; and we assure
him that he and his family have the
sympathy of all who know them in
their great affection.
Resolved, That this resolution ba
spread upon the minutes Of the state
farmers alliance, and the secretary is
directed to forward copy Of the
same 70 MI. Blorge. Id arE{ts

why He Chose the war.

When Charles Dudley Warner was
the editor of the Hartford Press, back in
the sixties, arousing the patriotism of
the state by his vigorous appeals, one of
the typesetters came in from the COM
posing room, and placing himself before
the editor said, "Well, Mr.. Warner, I've
decided to enlist in the army" With
mingled sensations Of pride and respon-
ibility Mr.. Warner replied encourag-
ingly that he was glad to see that the
man felt the call of duty. ''Oh, it isn't
that" said the truthful compositor, ''but
I'd rather be shot than try to set any
more Of your copy."-San Francisco Ar

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Executive Com.
mittees of the Peoples Party
and the State Alliance.

Following is the full text of the
resolutions adopted by the execu-
tive committees of the peoples party
and the state farmers alliance at the
joint session held at St. Paul July
9Th, 1893:
ENDORSING MR.. DONNELLY.
"Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. Ignatius Donnel-
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and la
bOrers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target of plutocracy, and their hire
lings.
FUSION"
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putatiOn that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, 'sfused" with the demo
cratic party, as an absolute, unjusti-
fable falsehood.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
"Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE, and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself a commit
tee Of one to work constantly to sus-
tain it and increase it's circulation.
1t is laboring, in a moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
ments of reform, in this state, in
harmonious action;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t sUiW not
sell us out in the crisis Of campaign;
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
it will give us the state in 1894. We
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and Industrial
league in the state, to go to work at
once and help build it up and make
it great power"
This was followed by the following,
also unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the peoples party
state central committee, that our
chairman Mr.. Z. ]. Meighen, is here
by requested to solicit subscriptions
Of stock to our paper, the REPREsEN-
TATIvE, from such persons as in his
judgment might be inclined to assist
our cause.''

A Dogs sense of Military Honor

A resident of West Chester, Pa. is au
thority for the following dog story"
as 1T was recited to him by soldiers
Troop I of the Sixth cavalry owned a
dog which accompanied it on every
trip AT the battle of Wounded Knee
some time ago the animal was abap-
doned and was found in snow drift
by sergeant of I troop, who took it
away and cared for it. The animal
could not be persuaded to return to it's
former owners and remained with the
sergeant. One day the sergeant was
reduced to the ranks for some breach of
discipline. From that dav forth the
dog would have nothing whatever tn
do with him and took up its quarters

AS A TOBACCO MARKET,
One Warehouse Firm which Has Done
Much Towards Making Durham.

Durham's reputation as tobacco town
has been earned not alone by her factories
but by the fact that it is the biggest mar
ket In the state, when it comes to handling
the raw material, and that its warehouses
are conducted in such way as to give
the farmer who sells on their floors the
best chance possible.
AS competition in other lines tends to
make business, so in town where there
are four large warehouses, all striving to
lead the van, there are necessarily induce
ments held out and advantages to be
enjoyed which are not offered by other
and less enterprising markets.
1t is given up that there is no other
tobacco town in the state that has such
uniform high prices as in Durham. And
1t is also given up that nowhere will
man have better treatment than at Par
rish's, the old reliable warehouse, which
from the time of its establishment has
enjOyed the universal confidence of to-
bacco growers all over this and other
states, and which has done more to build
up the market than any other warehouse
firm in the city
Captain f. j. Parrish, whose name is
so closely identified with Durham's to-
bacco interests, is known to be a gentle
man Of the highest personal character
and business in every particular. He
has always given the warehouse his per.

An Odd Kind of a Club.

The Locust Grove Swimmers had a
dinner once a year, and each man,
whether member or guest, was obliged
to eat whole duck and one complete
lemon pie. He who cleaned his plates
most effectually was presented with a
piece of silver plate. Suspended over
the dining table was a great woode
paddle, which was taken down when tt
toasting began. The significance of tn
article became apparent when mem
Der, in responding to a toast, told story
which had been heard before. Another
member whstled "Auld Lang Syne"
and finished the story, thus proving that
he had heard it before, and the paddle
was put into vigorous use upon the Of
fender.-New York Times.

One of the most profitable and least
deserving forms of beggary in the larger
cities is that piled by those miserable
looking creatures that crouch on the
corners Of fashionable and busy thor
oughfares playing cheap and wheezv
musical instruments. They muster
strongest in cold weather, and at all
times they seem to respect one anOth-
erS territory. Some of them have died
worth thousands of dollars. Their har-
vest is especially rich in shopping hours
and IN the holiday season, when thou

theatrical misery of these mendicants
Is unfamiliar, drop pennies, dimes and
even larger coins into the waiting Gun

Effect of Sun and Moon on Steel,

Acurious fact has recently been noted
by the fine steel workers at Sheffield,
England. 1t is this: Fine edged tools
assume blue color and lose all temper
If exposed for any considerable length of
time to the light of the sun either in
or winter. A similar effect is
exercised by moonlight, large cross
cut saw with which the experimenters
were working having been put out of
shape and its temper ruined by single
night exposure to first quarter moon"

KEPT BUSY.
Cwenty-Four Bricks Entirely Abraded by
Hands Of Baby Convict.

Capt, Powell, in his description of life
in southern Convict Camp" tells one
story which bears sad testimony to the
imperfection of human law, even in the
nineteenth century and in the United
states. The story concerns a negro
named Cy Williams, who was entered
upon the books of the convict camp.
When mere pickaninny, running
about in the one garment that forms
the costume of all negro youngsters in
the south, he was arrested for stealing
horse. lie was not large enough to
mount the animal, and was caught in
the act of leading it off by the halter.
for which he was duly-the word
should be unduly-sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment.
Warden Martin was puzzled to know
what to do with so small a convict. but
finally invented task that certainly
reflects credit upon his ingenuity. He
placed two bricks at each end of the
prison yard, and giving the black baby
TWO more, ordered him to carry them to
one of the piles, lay them down, pick
up the other two, which in turn were
TO be carried to the farther end. ex-
changed again, and so on back and
forth all day long, always carrying two
bricks.
he was warned that be would be
whipped if he failed to pile the bricks
neatly or broke any of them. He grew
up at the task, and the constant abra-
sion of merely picking up and laying
down wore out four sets of bricks be-
fore he was put to other labor.

TIME TO MAKE GARDEN.
Where Agricultural Implements and
Garden Tools are Wildly in It.

In these bright, 5aImv, busy and bust
ling spring days, where everybody is
making garden and the odor of sweet
violets and salad onions is in the air /;
with forcible reminders that time is Sill
ding along and that the moon is getting
in shape for the festive green pea, the
winter squash and the July watermelon,
the question of agriculture as she is cul
tured comes with an abruptness that re-
fuses to be put away, not only to the
farmer, who has been detained by the
late spring, but to the fellows in town,
who have garden patches and who ex-
pect to be home for the summer.

raj implements, and are selling every,
thing from a garden rake to a threshing
machine as low as they can be bought
anywhere. Their sales last year on these

An Experiment Which has Proved Sue
cess for all Concerned,

The coming of Mr.. J. L. Whitmore to
Durham and the starting of a first-class
bakery in this city, marked a new era in
the history of the town. A bakery was
the one thing which Durham needed
and bakery, in all that the word i'm
plies, is what Durham got and what it
now has.
Mr.. Whitmore, having been thoroughly
trained in all the delicate details of fancy
bread and cake baking, is complete mas
