The Southerner at Home.

The southerner at home is prone to
neglect his headgear for the sake of hav-
ing his feet well shed. and he will go
about in public places wearing a bat
tered and soiled SLOUGH hat, but scrupu-
lousy neat as to his footwear. The pc
culiarity perhaps arises from family
pride, besetting southern sin, coupled
with the belief that aristOcracy is evinccd
in the shape and size Of the feet. 1t is
worthy of noe, however, that the south
ern SLOUGH hat is often a costly article Of
the finest ald most durable felt. Such a
hat for winter and costly and indie
structible Panama straw for summer are
the proper headgear for southern coun-
try gentleman Chicag Herald.
Ills SAID that pinch of salt placed on
the tongue and allowed to dissolve slow
ly is helpful in sick headache.

Harmony and Erudition.

There is popular fallacy among par
ents that harmony means eruditiOn, and
eruditiOn of so abstruse a nature as to be
quite beyond the reach of the every day
child and to be reserved for the later
years after he is grown up, if undertaken
at all, and then chiefly when the youth
or maiden has what is called talent"
All. the much abused word! How glad
ly would all artists Danish it from the
vocabulary and from the ears of the
American child! Harmony is onlv gram
mar, and grammar of such an entertain
ing kind that u rightly presented it is
fascinating, and of a nature so essential
that the musical nonpossessor of it.,
young or old, is crippled.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

THE LEGEND OF EVIL.

Fhis is tie sorrowfUl story
\ Told when the twilight fails.
And the monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails:
sour fathers lived in the forest:
Foolish people were they.
They went down to the cortland
To teach the farmers to play.
"OUr fathers frisked in the nillct,
Our fathers skipped in the wheat,
Our fathers hung in the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street.
. Then came the terrible farmers.
Nothing of play they knew.
Only they caught our fathers
And set them TO labor tool
"Set them TO work in the cortland,
With plOws and sickles and fails;
Put them in mudwalled prisons
And cut off their beautiful tails!
Now we can watch our fathers,
Sullen and bowed and old,
STOPPING over the millet,
Stirring the silly mold.
driving a foolish furrOw,
Mending muddy yoke,
Sleeping in mud vailed prisons,
Sleeping their food in smoke.
We may not speak TO our fathers,
For if the farmers knew
They would come up to the forest
And set us to labor too"'
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails,
As the monkeys walk together
Holding each others tails.
-Rudyard Kipling.

professor Of mathematics who would
apply the fundamental rules of aritn-
metic to examples in fractions and
disregard them in trying to solve a
problem in evolution? But such
professor would be just as reasonable
and come just as near the solution of
his arithmetical sum as our single
taxer would of his social puzzle.
He applies his rule to land and a
few minerals and utterly ignores the
other unlimited number of natural
products. Naturalization applies it
to everything, thus reducing it to an
exact science, the science of political
economy. And we believe that the
day is not far distant when national
izatiOn will take its place with the
other sciences, to endure as long as
time itself.

to expect, and he has you to thank
for the publication of his looting the
county treasury.
In response to your request
for me to state the name of
the Democrat to whom YOU
pledged your support for Judge and
when, shall only say that since you
do not deny the pledge. it is imma-
terial as to when it was made and
your actions in the near future will
show to whom it was made. Your
scheme is to use asPOpulist stenOgra-
pher and Democratic lawyer as fuSing
material and with the general Gus
tom of the state" in lieu of the stat
utes, to fix the compensation of the
stenOgrapher. you will again loot the
county treasury. 1t is a good scheme
and may work. Respectfully,

DEAR STR:-YOur letter of March
18th with enclosed clipping received.
Will say in reply that have not time
to reply to all the lies that appear in
the Republican papers. If | attempt
ed it, my time would be wholly taken
up, and then | wouldn't get around to
all of them.O
Now, in regard to my vote against
the anti-OptiOn bill, | have no expla-
nations to make to the Republican
party. voted against the bill be-
cause believe it was very bad legis-
latiOn. 1t was not a bill to prevent
dealing in futures, but in every re-
spect bill to enable a few rich CAPT.
talists TO get together and control the
grain markets of this country. |
firmly believe if the bill had passed
that it would come back TO have
cursed every man that voted for it;
it would have worked great injury to
the farmers, because it would have
enabled the miller's combine in this
country to have built one of the
greatest trusts that ever had been
formed in country.
The trouble with the farmers is
they have been used too long and too
many times as the cat paws to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire by the
mOnOpOlies. This was another at
tempt on their part.
l am willing to stand by my vote on
that bill, knowing, as | do. that
in the future, when truth gets a hear
ing, | will be fully vindicated.
1t is little singular that these peo-
pie who talk about selling out TO
Wall street were the only ones repre-
sented here by a lobby. There was
plenty Of money to carry the bill, but
none for its defeat. Yours truly.

j. NJ. DOUBLEDAY

LAKEWOOD, Ohio, April 25 1893.
EDITOR VOICE, Dear Sir:-In last
weeks VOICE is small article headed.
Here's to our Friend in Cleveland,
Ohio, copied from the National Ad-
vance. 1t speaks of the 5000 votes
given Gen. Ed S. Meyer.
| have never heard or even seen the
General, but from what | have read
from his speeches, | am convinced
that he is sincere and true friend
OF the common people. The wonder
is, that so many of them are blind to
their own interest. That a city like
Cleveland can only cast 5000 votes
for the Peoples candidate is mOrtify-
ing, to say the least. But what else
can be expected of a city that elected
millionaireS to represent them in con-
gresS. This is Congressman Whites
district. His palatial home, out on
Lake avenue, you have the privilege
of looking at from distance. 1t
fronts Lade Erie. with many other
aristocratic homes and for a distance
of several miles the common herd of
humanity is informed by big, black
letters that "this is private property
and positively no trespassing." Ma
ture abounds with beautiful scenery
along the shores of Lake Erie. But
there is no public highway by which
you can reach it, hence the privilege
of seeing it is denied you by such pa
triOtic and freedom-lOvlng American
congressman as Mr.. White.
The Hon. VIM. L. Johnson is an
other friend ~ Of the wOrkingman.
He lives at the Weddell house when
not at Washington. He is one of the
great railroad magnates of the coun-
try. Of late his roads have consoli-
dated with several other roads, so
that Tom is no longer president of
any road, only one of the directors.
The honored Thomas L. johnson is
looking toward Columbus, the govern
mental seat OF Ohio. He undoubt-
edly thinks he is able to trip McKin-
ley out Of his chair next fall.
If the wOrkingmen and farmers
of Ohio would vote for their own in.
terest, they could defeat both of their
hypOcritical friends with such a man
as General Meyers of Cleveland.
But | almost forgot the real cause
of this writing. We have, here in
Cleveland, formed a POpulist club
called the Danish American Populist
Club. 1t held a meeting last Satur-
day evening which | had the honor
of attending. The people assembled
showed great enthusiasm. The
Danish population of Cleveland has
formerly, politics, been almost SOL
idly Republican, but are now PEOPLES
party voters.
/ shall try to get some subscribers
for the VOICE by the time / shall re-
new my own subscription.
Yours truly,

A Correction.

EDITOR VOICE:-YOur paper of re-
cent date caused me to say, in speak
ing of the action of members of the
house in the passage of the Austria
lian ballot bill, that all the Republi-
cans but fifteen voted with the Popu-
lists. 1t should have said, upon the
motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill, all the Republicans but fifteen
voted for the motion, while all the
POpulistS and fifteen of the Republi-
cans voted against the motion and
thus saved the bill.

that II have no recollection of hay-
ing a political discussion with you, or
that you ever asked me what my pol
tics were, or if l had any," The
truth is that Mr.. Welch personally
presented to me letter of recon-
mendation from Campbell & Sankey
of Wichita. and at the same time
stated that he was a Repu llican and
that his father was Republican Of
flee holder in Wichita. In proof of
this refer you to Mr.. Campbell.
Now to the question as to whether
Welch collected from the county lille
gal fees. He admits that | told him
he should be paid only for the days
he worked. The statute providing
for the compensation of a stenOgra-
pher, reads as follows:
1874 COMPENSATION. The official report
er shall receive as compensation for his SER
vices for each day actually employed. six
dollars. The judge shall certify the time
which he shall have been employed at any
term in the county. and the amount to which
he is entitled therefor. Upon the presenta-
tion Of such certificate of the Judge to the
clerk Of the county, he shall draw his order
in favor Of such reporter upon the county
treasurer for the amount so certified, which
order shall be sufficient voucher for the
payment OF the same by the county treasur-
er."
Now for you and Welch to argue as
you do that 1.-THE general custom Of
the state" can repeal this statute,
would be ridiculous and ineXCuSa BILE
even if made by a member of one of
the "Old corrupt parties" but when
made by the latter day saints" in
the name of reform, it is SaCrileg-
iOuS.
If a StenOgrapher must be paid for
every day court is in session, why not
pay the carpenter, the brick mason,
the plaSterer, his per diem till the
building is completed, whether he
works or not" or the fireman, engi-
neer and conductor, their per diem or
mileage, while they wait for work.
But let US pass to the certificates
and Welch'S mOduS Operandi. Under
the LAW the county commissioners
have nothing whatever to do with the
allowance to a court stenOgrapher,
and prior to April, 1891, | gave Mr..
Welch certificate as follows and
upon the following account;
November 7th, 1890.
The undersigned certifes that he has
worked as official stenOgrapher of the District
