When I at last reached the Quarry.

When at last reached the Quarry, /
asked where that log cabin was. I
was shown where it was. so drove
over to the place. As entered the
yard, / saw before me a handsome
house with all the modern improve
ments, surrounded by q beautiful
yard filled with beautiful flowers. with
the greenest grass out OF which peeped
boulders of granite. / just stood and
looked at the beautiful things before
me.
As came to the door lady came
out. asked her if / might look at
the old cabin. She said, '.you go up 20
the cabin and you will find the string
OUT. As went a young man joined
me who belonged to the place. As |
was ushered in, / stood and looked
until he motioned me to the big easy
chair. seated myself and looked and
saw, oh, so many things! There on
the hearth by the side of the big fire
place, was the old dutch oven ready
to bake the ,orndogers or biscuit, just
whichever you called for; by the side
of the pouch hung the warming pan;
in the corner stood the fax wheel and
reel; on the other side hung the bel
lows to blow the fire; up on one of the
fribs of the roof hung the old grand
mothers foot stone; over the fireplace
were all sorts of horns and deerss ant
lers, stuffed animal skins, foxes, squir-
rels, birds, ducks, and oh, I don't know
| what all; and there stood the old flint
lock rifle. On the RIBS of the roof
overhead were all kinds of fishing tack
lie, rods, nets, bows and arrows, tents,
a boat way up in the top, and ali kinds
of hunting outfit. A perfect hunters
paradise.
As sat and talked with my hostess,
for she she had come soon sitter reach
ed the cabin, of all the early days, the
early life in the wood, of all the changes
that had taken place in the past years.

will be worth while for politician to
come thousand miles to find out how
really in earnest they are. Aud he
will find the East as we'll as the West,
on the same road. The questions Of
finance. and negro domination, if You
please, are subordinate and subsidiary
to the land question; which, after all,
is the burning question Of the hour.
When our government becomes in
practice what it is in theory, when the
natural right of men to natural oppor-
tunities is no longer alienated and
mado purchasable only, men will not
thir st for money as now; for it will not
require money TO enable them to en-
JOY freedom; nor will money enable the
vicious to enslave their fellowmen; nor
to gather together the weak and sub
servient in order to exploit them.
We are on the eve of very great
changes, and we who have boasted so
loudly and SO brassily of our intelli-
gence do not seem to be in the van.
From the country whose system OF
voting. we, lately, rather weakly cop
led, comes the news that the light of a
brighter civilization is breaking. A
civilization that will know neither
landlord nor tenant, neither patron nor
peon, nor master nor slave. With such
news ringing in our ears we cannot
listen to propositions that involve re-
PROGRESSION, or that give a hearing to
interests not in accord with the full
and perfect manumission of mankind.
An oligarchy that has not yet lost
the taint of slavery, may have much
to fear from negro enfranchisement; q
true Democracy has none.

The Negro Problem.

Gov. Tillman wants to know if we
are in earnest, we men of the north.
west. in proposing an alliance between
| the South and West against the East:
He ..takes the bull by the horns''
and We must be as frank as he is. He
and those who hold with him, will join
us, and vote with us on silver, if we
will vote with them in dissipating the
black cloud of negro domination.
But how? Are we expected to vote
for the Acknowledgement of the negro,
and go back, il not to chattel slavery,
at least to a system OF peonage? It
was not the enfranchisement of the
negro that was an evil so much as the
conditions under which he was enfran-
chised; and slavery was responsible
for those conditions. Slavery is not a
good school for citizenship; and we
cannot go back in that direction. To
take the franchise from the. hireling
and tenant means to make him peon;
to reduce him to state worse than
that of chattel slavery. Is it this that
Gov. T. wants us to help him to do?
The black population OF the South is
relatively very small as compared with
the white population. It is only in
certain sections, in the different
states of the South, where there is
any danger of negro domination, and
therein these sections-it is land
lordism that Greats that danger. Where
the negro vote approaches, or passes,
the white vote, the negroes are gather
ed as tenants and hirelings; and the
hour that such lands are open to white
labor it will displace and scatter the
blacks, even in the rice swamps OF
South Carolina. But SO long as class
can monopolize the passive factor OF
land, by taking the un-
earned increment that attaches TO
it, and to it only. 50 long will the land
lord seek the most subservient labor.
the active factor OF production. and
try to render that even moro subservl-
ent and sIavish By disfranchising 1t.
The remedy does not lie in the direc-
ton Gov. T. seems to indicate, but in
exactly the opposite direetion--in the
direction Of the abolition Of industrial
slavery; not in return toward chat
tel slarery. The American people, in
spite Of all superficial signs to the con-
trary, are advancing toward fuller
and more perfect freedom. When the
South Is ready for such an advance it :

DIsaRACEFUL, INDEED!
How Nebraska Was Carried Against
Free Coinage.

LINCOLN, Neb., October 8. i
Naturally, the Democracy Of the wos
and south was surprised last weel
when the Nebraska state Democratic
convention declared against the fres
coinage OF silver and for unconditiona
repeal. The sentiment of the state il
overwhelmingly in favor of silver; bu
the convention was picked through thu
manipulation Of Secretary Morton, whe
pulled the wires from Washington
whence came the word that Bryar
must be downed.
In order that you may know what
influences were brought to bear upon
the convention, / copy some letters
sent out by the secretary of the state
central COMMITTEES:
OMAHA, Neb., September l, 1885,
DEAR SIR: You were some time age
endorsed by the state central commit
tee for the post-ofiice at Cir
cumstances may arise which may cause
a revision of that action. You are
earnestly urged to be at the Democrat
ic state convention October 4th as q
delegate. Be sure and have your del
egation composed of Democrats whom
you know can be relied upon.
Yours truly,
]. B. SHEEAN, Secretary.
Shortly after that, the following let
ter was seat to each one Of the 1000
candidates who had applications before
the state central committees:
OMAHA, Neb.. September IA. 1893. =
DEAR SIR: The officers of the state
committee desire to communicate with
you respecting the endorsement which
they gave for postmaster. The delay
in making the desired changes in this
state necessitates vigorous action on
the part of the committee and appli-
cant, and you are requested TO meet
the officers OF the COMMITTEES at Lincoln
on the Sd or 4th of October. The state
convention will be held there at that
time. and you are urged to be present
as delegate from your county.
In order that there may be full
representation you are especially re-
quested to be present ia person. It is
important that you be present repre-
senting the best interests of Dem0c-
racy and cooperating with the COM
mittec for the welfare of the party.
Trusting that this may receive your
serious consideration, lam,
Yours Respectfully,
=. B. SHEEAN, Secretary.

Old Times.

SAsA AAAAASe0s
Ed. Register-Yesterday being the
5th day of October, gave myself up
to pleasure, it being to me the day of
all Christmas. New Year, Fourth
of July and Thanksgiving all in one
for that day first saw the light. I
have always felt glad / was born in the
month of October, for it is the best
month of all the year; not too hot nor
cold; the month when nature clothes
the mountains and hills with her most
gorgeous hues. The weather of the
ingathering of the crops; filling the
barns, the cribs, the cellars with the
grain, the fruits and vegetables of all
kinds. The gathering the nuts-and
what boy ever failed to be out insAhe
woods to gather the chestnuts and
the hickory nuts of a frosty October
morningp-and the month of all the
months to go in the mountains of q
frosty morning with old Betsey on
your shoulder, to kill the wild deer.
What glorious sight to see the old
bucks with their great head of horns
go bounding away, and as you bring
your gun to your face and touch the
trigger, feeling of ecstacy goes all
through you as the gun gives clear,
keen crack and you see that old buck
go tumbling to the ground. Oh, it's
splendid! =
In all of my hunting years I made
that day special hunting day, and
almost always with good success. But
my hunting days have passed; gone;
are among the things of the past. As
yesterday was most perfect fall day,
I hitched old Bill CHATS my horse) in
a nice, low, easy carriage and took a
niece of mine, who, for the last three
or four years, has been among the
shut-ins an invalid, for drive. Oh,
you who have the full use of your
limbs, that can run and walk, can
climb the mountain sides, cannot realize
what it is to be shut out from all of
these pleasures and comforts. Aud
can you imagine what pleasure it gave
that dear girl as we drove over the
hills and mountains, and breathed the
fresh cool air, scented with the pine,
the cedar, and all the wild flowers
the golden rod and all the other fall
flowers; and as we rode we talked of
the works of nature. When we at last
reached her home and helped her down
and saw how the roses had come back 10
her cheeks, do you not think it made
my heart glad? Somebody said, lit is
more blessed to give than to receive. "
After had got home and fed my
horse and eat my dinner, just thought
as the day is only half gone, | will
ride out to the Granite Quarry; it was
one of my favorite places of resort when
l was courting my wife, and afterwards
i
made that a place to spend our leisure
hours. How many. many times Emily
and l have romped over those rocks,
and played hide and seek among those
narrow passages, in and out and all
over and among those rocks.
As rode along all BY mysef, except
now and then I would meet some one,
my thoughts were of other days. |
When / had got almost to gum spring,
l saw coming a young lady and gentle !
man full tilt, as though she was trying |
to get away, and he after her. As
they came turned Old Bill out of the
road. l said to myself, Tam O'Shant-
er. by George!'' and away they went
just flying. said to myself that's not
the way Emily and / used to ride. |
