Plain Word, for Senator Smith.

On the 1st INST, the Democrats Of
Englewood, N. j., forwarded to senator
Smith a strong protest against his tar
iff policy, and demanded that he sup
port the president and the house in
their efforts to redeem Democratic
pledges. Englewood is part Of Smiths
home district. and the letter is signed
by many Of his personal friends. The
letter says, after protesting against
Smiths action in opposing the Wilson
bill:
"We wish TO emphasize one or two
facts which you seem to have forgotten.
In your contest for the senatorship it
was distinctly stated as a reason for
your election that you were in full ac-
cord with the policy Of president Cleye-
land with reference to the tariff, and
shared with him distinctly all his views
upon that subject.
"It was likewise stated as q reason
for defeating governor Abbott that in
you we would have representative Of
clean politics and high standard Of
political virtue. Under this impress
SION the Democrats Of New Jersey we're
satisfied.
"But it is with extreme regret that
we now have to inform you that the
confidence hitherto existing is fast CIV
ing way to dlstrust, and that your pres
ent attitude is even arouslng doubts
whether your course is influenced by
patriotic motives and a due regard for
the opinion, wishes, and interests Of a
vast majority OF your constituents. If
you persist in the policy you are now
pursuing relative to tariff reform you
will materially assist in disorganlzng
the Democratic party by bringing dis
credit upon it, and you viii succeed in
having the state Of New Jersey at the
next election swept by the Republicans.
'This may be plain talk, but it IS our
1uty to speak plainly TO you that you
may understand that the Democrats Of
our section are not in accord with you
IN the policy which yon are now pur-
suing"

This Season.


For the ReveiIle.l
Thankless indeed must be the heart
that does not say grace for the bounti-
ful abundance that nature spreads this
season for all her living creatures. The
fertilizing rains have fed and cleaned
every species of vegetation, and the
tonic of the sunshine has braced and
perfected them.
The fields are covered with the most
promising crops. The fine stalks of
cotton are "bOll-ded" from top to bot
tom, while squares and blossoms crowd
each other upon the already loaded
stems. IF the worms, that menace to
the agriculturist, do not appear, all will
be well. 1t is almost impossible to In
duce the average darkie to employ an
insecticide.
Intelligent and experienced hortlcul-
tursts use this remedy to destroy
insects that depredate upon the most
delicate fruit and vegetables. Proper
ly applied, a few dollars worth Of Paris
green will save many hundred dollars
worth Of cotton. | know OF a planter
who purchased a barrel, and could not
persuade his tenants to use a pound on
the worms that ravaged his fields. One
old colored brother was skeered his
calf, dat he let run IN de big field case
it never bothered de cotton. would git
pinned" Another "had four gooses,
and knowed dey would eat de pizined
worms an git killed." And the conse-
quence was they did not make enough
cotton to pay the interest on their rent
and provision debt. and they did not
care a cent either. 1t would pay the
land owners to employ intelligent pub
lie officers to attend to the business Of
applying the Paris green if necessary.
1t Is a comforting thought that the
yield of corn is a afait accompli." The
waving green plumes of Mondamin"
are worth thousands of dollars to this
county, if they are harvested in the
shape Of fodder. The growth of peas
and sweet potatoes and pinders, is rank
and tropical IN its luxuriance. The
hills and valleys are covered with fresh
and tender grass for our humble four
footed friends. In rich gardens where
the weeds are not permitted to ''grow
broader and higher" than the vegeta-
bles, the yield Of the latter is phenome-
nal. Even the bees and the butterflies
really seem more abundant and bril-
liant than usual, as they drink from
the tiny tankards Of flowers, bending
from every side.
1t has been sometimes said that wo-
men make better farmers than men.
/ think, If such is the case, it must be
because they have grasped the idea that
one cannot anticipate ones revenues,
and spend twice their amount, without
going down with the great "Insolvent
herd" into the deep waters.
That to live within ones income,
even if it is but a hundred dollars a.
year, Is the key to success and an hon
orable life and death in this most beau
tiful country that the blessed sun shines
upon. QUIeN SABE.

Sometime, when all LIES lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars forevermoro have set,
The things which our weak Judgments here have
spumed,
The things ser which we grievod with lashes
wet
Win flash before us. out OF life's dark night.
AS stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue
And We shall see how all Gods plans are right.
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans 20 on'as best for You and me;
How when we called. He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom 10 the end could see;
And even as wise parents disallow
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps is keeping from as now
Life's sweetest things, because Il seemeth
good.
And II, sometimes, commingled with life's wine,
We find the wormwood, and repeI aud shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink,
And II some friend we love il lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
oh, do not blame the loving Father 50,
But wear your sorrow with 0bedient grace
And you shall shortly know that lengthened
breath
Il not the sweetest gift God sends His friend.
And that, sometimes, the sable pail Of death
Conceals the fairest boon his love can send.
IL we could push ajar the gates Of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold,
We must not tear the clOse-shut leaves apart,
Time will ravaai the calvxqe Of oold
And if, through patient toll, we reach the land,
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may
rest,
When We shall clearly see and understand,
think that we will say, "G0d knew the best -

Senator Georges Bill.


Hon. James q George, Of Missis-
sippi, was elected to the United States
senate as a Democrat, not as Popu-
list, Debsite, or an Anarchist. Yet
he has introduced in the senate bill
for compulsory arbitration, supplying
the compulsion in precisely the same
form in which il appears in the sim
liar measure fathered in the house
BY the Populist, Davis, Of Kansas.
Legislative ingenuity never invent
ed more diabolical scheme. Senator
George proposes TO force arbitration
upon railway companies engaged in
Interstate traffic by turning the COM
panies over to the tender mercies Of
their rioting employees in case the
employers decline to arbltrate.
The first section Of this exlraordi-
nary bill provides that whenever the
employees propose an arbitration nm
der the terms of the act of 1888, il
the corporation refuses or neglects to
arbitrate, then sit shall not be lawful
for any United States court or Judge
to grant any injunction against said
employees, or any of them, or TO
make any order requiring or author
izing any United States marshal to
control or in any manner interfere
with the conduct of said employees,
or any of them"
The second section provides that
when a proposition to arbitrale is
made by the employees of an inter-
state company, which is in the hands
of a receiver appointed by a United
States court, it shall be the duty Of
tho receiver to 60 to arbitration.
There may be nothing to arbitrate
but il any Of the employees think
they have grievance, the farce OF
arbitration must be gone through
with.
The third section provides that no
obstruction to the running OF trains
shall be considered as obstruction to
the mails If any passenger or freight
car is attached to the train on which
tho mail is carried. That is to say,
the United States government shall
lose its right to protect its mails
whenever the mail car is attached to
a regular train, or the mail bag is
conveyed by a locomotive which also
pulls passengers or ordinary freight.
This is just such a bill as Debs
himself might have framed. Per-
haps he did frame ii the last section
smells of Debs.
Here we have compulsory aTbitra-
ton with a vengeance. Arbitrate or
be outlawed Arbitrato at the die
tation of two or more Of your striking
employees, or be turned over to the
mob, with full license granted them
to pillage, wreck, burn, main, aud
murder ! Was any such bill as this
ever introduced in the American
congress since the federal legislature
held its first session in this town ia
the spring aud summer Of 1889 /?
The country will be far along the
road to anarchy before such a meas
ure can pass either house of congress.
But how is it possible that senator
calling himself Democrat consents
to let his name stand on this bill 10
promote rioting, arson, and murder

That American of Americans who
has recently passed away. DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, could not have
left to his countrymen more valu-
able legacy than in tho lines which he
addressed to youth:
In opinions look not always back;
The wake 10 nothing-1nind the coming
track;
Leave what you've done for what you have
to do;
Don't be consIsteu, but DO simply true.
In every fibre of my being have
been true, and shall continue true, to
the interests of my constituents,
which, happily are the interests of
the producing masses in every state
Of the union.
l propose to work for the free coin
age OF silver, by the instrumenralities
most readily available, and best ad-
apted to secure results.
While belonging to the Silver party
OF Nevada, however, I desire to say
that l have no quarrel with the Peo-
pies party. The members of that
party in the senate stood by silver
like true men; and silver advocates in
the senate should stand by them.
It has been stated in the press that
I announced myself as @Populist by
name;" but this is an error, however,
to which I attach no importance. The
advocates of silver need not quarrel
about names. When men want to &C.
complish great aim-when they
want to embody into law measure
that is to mark an epoch in the his
tory OF their country,-7and which
will be benefaction to the strug-
Cling masses Of their countrymen,
it is matter of little consequence
under what name the great end is
accomplished.
Our Republican friends on the
State Central Committee seem dis
posed to be facetious at the expense
both OF myself and of the Peoples
party. as they inquire Of me whether
what they are pleased to call the
Shining examples Of Populist influ-
ence,' with which, as they say, am
daily and hourly confronted in the
senate, justtifies the belief that my
change Of party utilization will add to
my prestige and power as member
Of that body.
This is not a question of prestige
or power for any individual. 1t is in
finitely better than that. It is a
question Of the welfare of all the peo-
pie Of the United States. o..
Had I found such remarks in a let
ter signed, not by the chairman of
the Republican state central com
mittee OF Nevada, but OF some State
of the East, where good form" re-
quires that no opportunity be allowed
to pass without ridiculing the Popu-
Lists and other advocates of the free
silver coinage, 1 should have been less
surprised.
The principles of the committee
would appear to be If party or a
cause is subject of ridicule. people
must avoid it. Under the operation
