Bred Dorothy Spriggs.


Have you noticed, Mis- Dyer,
whether or not Mis- Spriggs's folks
from the city has Gomez" asked Mrs.
Hill, during neighborly morning
call. Eyes, they've come, the whole
kit and Doodle of 'em. / never see
children SO glad to get anywhere as
those Spriggs children be. Poor crit
ters / s'pose they don't have much
pleasure, Twin in the city as they do
most of the year" Mrs. Hill locked at
her neighbor curiously you amt
sayin' that you b'licve those children
jest sit in the house all the time they're
to home, be you, Mis- Dyer? Because
| never saw more active young ones in
my life than they be, and don't b'lieve
it jest comes onto 'em when they get
to Hillvillc,"
"Well, Mis- HILL look at it in this
way" responded Mrs. Dyer. CITY
children, as you know, are generally a
poor, pindlin' lot They don't have no
great strength, so when they do get in
the country the air works on 'em so it
sets 'em right up But they don't have
the endurance of country children"
"Have you ever taken much notice of
that Dorothy Spriggs?" questioned
Mrs. Hill.
"Yes, have. She's kind of pretty
delicate-lookin' child, amt sheT'
Mrs, Hill shifted. "'Delicate-lookin'!
Well, Mis- Dyer, I've had some expert
ence with her. She used to come over
to play with Sophia's children last
summer, and she wore 'em all out.
Georgy is pretty strong boy of his
age, and so is Ann Maria but land!
that Dorothy d come over, and she and
Ann Maria d begin to play horse, and
first thing we'd know Ann would come
a-mopin' into the house and lop right
down, tired all out
"Then Georgy he'd sort of think he
wanted to play, and he and Dorothy d
begin caperin' up and down the road.
Sophia sort of kept an eye on 'em, and
after spell Georgy d act sort of tired,
and when she called him in, for once
he was ready enough to come.
"But Dorothy Spriggs-she want
nowheres near ready to go home; and
old Towser had been jumpin' round
the yard, so Dorothy jest tied her
string to his collar, and raced up and
down. Sophia was a-watchin' 'em, and
pretty soon says she, Il guess I'd better
call Towser in; he's actin queer Then
looked out, and l see the dog was
tired out. He'd lay down every few
steps.
"Then we concluded twas best tc
send Dorothy home. There want
nothin' else she could tire out except
twas Sophia and me, and we didn' fee
equal to it. l says to Sophia, Don't
talk to me no more bout country all
bein' good fer those Spriggsesr says l.
They don't need no good done to EN-
fer that Dorothy has got what | cal
Spartan vigor, and you'll jest have tc
look out fer Ann Maria and Georgy,

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY.

The Democrats can no longer, with
any shadow of consistency, claim to
be States Rights party. They long
since forfeited all rightful claim to
such title by the action of its repre-
sentatives in Congress on the Ii
quor question. Now, Democratic
Presidents rushes Federal troops
into sovereign State, not only with
out summons from its Governor for
aid, but over his protest, there to per
form local function he declared the
State militia and police ample to cope
with. Hogsheads of ink and tons of
literature have been consumed in
laundering against Republican Presi-
dents and the Republican party from
Lincoln and General Grant down to
Harrison. The heaviest cannonading
done in the South during the last cam
paign was because it was asserted the
Republican party wished to use U. S.
troops in enforcing Federal election
laws in the States when a President
and Congressman are to be elected.
Nearly every reader is familiar with
their scare-crow cartoons on this sub
ject. Now when there is quarrel be-
tween capital and labor, a Democratic
President rushes troops into State
unbidden by State authority, to enforce
Fsderal laws against the strikers, and
a Democratic Senate endorses him and
Democratic press applauds from
Maine to California.
But nearly every thing has its law
of compensation. The inevitable logic
of recent events leads ultimately to
government ownership and control OF
all interstate railroads. Meanwhile
however, we insist that what used to
be sauce for the Republican goose is
now good sauce for the Democratic
gander.

if we as temperance women would go
to work for this paper as we might
and should, it would do more than al
most anything else could to make SEN
timent throughout the State for our
cause. 1t is not right that we allow
Bro. Hobbs to do so much for the
cause and so much for us as an organ
iZation and in return do SO little for
the paper. Let us get right to work
and see that the LEADER reaches many
more families this winter than it ever
has before. If some one in every To-
cal union is appointed to solicit sub
scribers and such one does the work of
convassing her town thoroughly and
meets with little success, it would be
a good plan to raise the money in
some way and send the paper anyway
into some homes where we know it
would be read. To read it carefully is
all reasonable, thinking man or wo-
man needs to be convinced of the
grand heights to which prohibition
would elevate our homes, our lives and
our country. 1t is a paper worthy of
the highest praise and of the closest
perusal. 1t is clean and pure and true
food fit for Christians and for sin
ners to feast upon. 1t will make the
Christian stronger and show the poor,
unfortunate sinner the danger sur

have such a paper constantly before
him; especially every one calling him

POPULISTS PLEASED,
Their Chief Organ, The Virginia sun,
Heartily Endorses the Proposed
Union

ALEXANDRIA, VA, July 10.-The Vir-
ginia Sun, the leading organ of the
Populist Party of the State, heartily
indorses the proposed union with the
Prohibitionists. In its issue of June
q, speaking of the proposed union, the
Sun says :
Nov, there is another political par
ty fighting along almost the identical
lines with the Populists, only whereas
the Populists deal in general terms
morally and socially, this other party
boldly and specifically puts its finger
on the great moral curse and debaueh-
er of our day and generation. OF
course, this is the liquor traffic, and
the party is the Prohibitlonist. They
agree with the Populists in all their
demands, but they take step farther
and say we cannot shut our eyes to the
gigantic evil of the saloon, which ruins
our men, wrecks homes, breaks hearts,
and fills penitentiaries, asylums, and
graves. Shall we remain silent when
the drink bill of the United States is
81 200, 100000 year and increasing
more rapidly than the population?
Twenty dollars per capita of drink,
and only S. per capita of money to pay
it with! These are facts which we can
not ignore, and when we consider the
farther fact that the saloon is the
great engine of the two old parties, by
which they hold the people in slavery
to their diabolical scheming, how can
we refuse to join hands with party
that calls spade a spade, and will
fight this monster evil to finish? We
say that we cannot be true to our pro-
LESSONS If we allow a difference of
