WELLMiN CITY.
BY JIM,

Mr.. Cleveland has been on our streets
the past week, shaking hands with old
friends.
Farmers are about through gather
ing crops. Cotton fell below expecta-
tions; corn and smaller crops good.
Mr.. Thomas Busby, of Hickory Val
ley, La, is on visit to relatives and
friends.

We heard a man say the other day,
II would vote the Prohibition ticket if
it was not for the woman suffrage
plank. cannot swallow that" Poor
fellow we have great sympathy for
him in his troubles.
The Democratic prosperity train
that has been so long over due has
been heard from at last. 1t is now
side-tracked at little way station
known as washington ID. c." unload
ing fuel that is to run the next Con-
gress. The latest advices say that it
will be delayed there about three
months longer, and will not come
South at all this year. Great anxiety
has been felt here about that train as
it was due here about six months ago.
Nearly all of our people had ordered
freight to be shipped directly by it,
and now they are chagrined to learn
that it will not come this way at all
and they will have to order their pros
perity from another source, if they
have any, the season being so far spent
that they will probably lose money by
the transaction. "As man soweth sc
shall he also reap"

THE COMING MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message to
Congress next month will, it is said,
grapple with the currency problem
and strive to solve it. 1t is strongly
intimated that the Baltimore plan,
adopted unanimously by the late Ma
tional Bankers Association, will receive
his sanction. We most sincerely hope
not We have no objection to banks
issuing their own currency, secured by
their assets; but we object to their is
suing currency on the credit of the
Government, they making all the profit
and the Government taking all the
risk. If the bankers can do business
on the credit of the nation, why can't
the farmers g.? If the credit of the
Government is to be supplied to bank
ers for one-half of one per cent. tax,
why should the Government not lend
credit currency to the farmers for two
per cent. or less? When the history
of Populism is written up as it should
be, it's origin will be traced, not to the
Farmers Alliance, but to the national
banks. The most pronounced Popu-
lists in the country today, though they
seem unconscious of the fact, are the
members of the National Bankers AS
ISOLATION. The sub-treasury scheme
of the Farmers Alliance isn't in it
with the Baltimore plan"!-The Voice

A correspondent makes suggestion
in regard to improving Brookhaven's
fire protection and thereby reducing
insurance, which is we'll worth the Sc
rious consideration of all property
holders in the city. If the present or
prospective city council could devise
ways and means for accomplishing the
desired end, we believe it would meet
with the almost general endorsement
of the tax payers.

LABOR PARTY.
Last Mondays Chicago Record

Last Mondays Chicago Record
contains the following
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 29.-Or-
ganized labor in Indiana has called a
state convention to meet here May
L. The convention will discuss the
advisability Of forming new polit-
ical party, with organized labor as
the cornerstone. The leaders OF
the movement, A. B. Loebenberg,
Edgar A. Perkins and D.. f. Ken
nedy, say they believe the time is
ripe for the organization of such a
party. They want the party, if Or
ganized, to take mp the fight of the
Coxey bands, and strike to accom-
plish by the ballot what Coxey, Kel
ley and others would accomplish by
marching to Washington. The party
may. they say, be christened the
Commonweal party. They believe
that such party can elect the next
president
This is certainly encouraging.
These laboring men-not only in
Indiana, but all over the nation
have been voting the old party tick
cts (first one and then the other for
years, and, although they are organ
izing independent of either new
party (Populist or Prohibition J, this
action weakens the old party ranks.
1t shows that the people are awaking
and thinking. They will continue
to think until, by the time another
presidential campaign rolls around,
all reformers will see that, for the
common, veal, it is necessary that
all pull together. We believe that
the. year 1896 will find all true re-
formers marching under one banner.
More than this, we believe that the
principal plank in the platform OF
the new. or united, party will be-
the Initiative and Referendum.

.sWARRIORS OF ZION"

This is the age of wonders, go
cially, morally, financially and
churchly.
We were early taught, and have
always believed, that the church
was, or is, the representative of
peace-of peace on earth and good
will to men,; but recently that faith
has been badly shaken, and that,
yoo,. not from actions or arguments
of either Deist or Atheist.
Numbered with the many strange
developments of the age is that of
military companies and brigades, in
she churches. Suddenly, and as if by
magic, have arisen in the. leading
churches of our Cities, and our
church schools, mania for military
eraining. Why the churches should
take such SURPRISING interest in that
schooling which fits men to- scientif-
really kill their fellow men, ravish,
depopulate' and destroy nations is
beyond our ken. But the churches
and the church schools, whose forces
should be spent in teaching the
Eatherhoodi of God and the brother
hood of man., have gone off after
the god Of war. There was time
whem the enemy was at our thresh-
old, when men went to church
armed, and, for that there was a
patriotic excuses clear justifica-
tion :; but what excuse or justigca-
there can be for the enrolling of the
bows Of the churches, and qualify
ing them for the game of slaughter,
none. can be reasonably supposed to
better know than the reverend gen.
tlemen engaged in. the questionable
business.
Should the leaders of any polit-
ical parity enroll, arm and drill the
members of that party, the public
would not inquire into the purpose

The opposer of equal suffrage
who takes the ground that if the.
power to vote was given to woman,
it would cause family rows is sure.

gument. What an arrogant, DOM

The way to adjust the equal suffrage
question in your mind is to decide
whether it is right or wrong for
women to vote. If it is right, then
be generous aud vote for the ques-
ton regardless Of party politics. If
it is wrong, then vote against it.
But bear in minds that it is not right
to tax unrepresented property, so

In the commerce Of Paraguay. Every
thing is shipped by way of Europe.
Then, again, the mercantile houses offer
better inducements as regards time and
the settlement of debts. European
houses allow from 80 to $50 days cred
It. and the United States only 30 days.
The United States at the present time
furnish very little or no emigration to
South America. and from my stand
point there is very little to be made
in those countries for some years to
come.
The climate is healthy and similar to
Australia. The flora and fungd Is as
in all tropical countries, beautiful.
Nothing has been done in regard to the
mineral resources of the country. On
development it may prove to be very
rich.
Animals, reptiles and insects abound
in. great numbers, especially in the
"Gran Chaco," the eastern portion OF
the republic, which is inhabited only
by Indians, and of which little is known
or published. Birds of every descrip-

great fiocks, especially the parrot and
Paraguay is also the home Of the
monkey, the largest in the world being

THAT the women of the middle class all
smoke cigars, which they roll them
selves. They are twice the thickness OF
an ordinary cigar, and from 1-2 to
inches long. The tobacco is of ex-
cellent quality, and would be of a
much finer grade. but they do not
