WELL SAD.

We clip the following from the
Biblical Recorder, and coming as it
does from the pen of christian
gentleman whose teaching should
have more weight given them than
from we ordinary m0rtais it would
be well for some of our readers to
ponder it, especially those who may
feel that then toes have been step
ped upon by the writer.
Several exchanges have published let
from feeble minded young man who was
so deficient of moral sense as to write a let
ter to journal published at the north say
ing that he would not vote for the candi-
dates OF certain political party unless he
were given buggy; and be was so childish
as to think that the northern journal to
which his father subscribed, would give him
the desired buggy for the party's sake. The
fellow Is not alone after all. He is not a
freak, or, if he is, his type is not at all rare.
There are people who would sell their votes,
but who make secret of it, fearing public
sentiment and me law. There are men who
sell their influence brazenly, the amount
paid far greater than the price of buggy,
making them callous to opinion. The price
makes them the more despiCablG, but the
public III general that's another matter.
The possession of wealth hides a multitude
OF SINS. There are men who conceal the
truth because they fear they will lose their
positions if they say what they think, poor,
mentally oppressed being. There are men
who JON party for no other reason than
that they fear they will lose standing or
patronage If they co not; there are others
who remain with party for the same rea-
son; there are others who abandon one party
and JOIN another in order to get office; there
are others who pay out money in order to
bride men to vote with them; and it does no
credit TO the young man who desires to sell
himself for buggy to say that these are no
better than he. This fellow and they are
men who buy liquor with which to induce
poor, accursed drinkers to political speak
lngs, who fill those men with whiskey and
send them home bowling for party while
the mother and children scrape around for
bit of bread There are men in North
arolina-men who have been honored. if
nominations for political offices is honor
who cannot throw the first stone at the
young man whose price is the price of a
buggy.

SENATOR PETER THROWS LIGHT ON
THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.

He shows That the Peoples Party Gain
ed over 10000 Votes This Year.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Senator
PETER has arrived from Kansas.
Discussing the result of the recent
election, he said the Populists had
no reason to feel discouraged.
"What we have lost in congress-"
he said, eve have more than made
up in votes. he reports generally
published would lead people to sup
pose that we had suffered material
loss in all respects in Kansas. Such
is not the case. In 1890 we had
about 100000 votes in that state; in
1892, about $4,000, and in the
late election from 10000 to 1885,
900, in the face of the fact that
about 10000 of our voters had left
the state on account of the drouth.
We failed in the election of officers
because We were not paired with
the democrats, but we have every
reason to feel encouraged for the
future. In the country at large |
feel confident that when the re-
turns are footed up they will show
our total vote to be little less than
1900, 200, which is about twice the
POpulist vote of tive years ago.

A LIE THAT IN DEMAND.

To bolster up the argument of
''overproduction," the "statisticians'
are getting out figures to show that
100000 bales of cotton have been
made this year.
"The Statisticians" are probably
the most thorough going liars of all
those hireling bands that serve the
Gold Conspirators. The statement
that II 100000 bales of cotton have
been made this year is simply an
outrageous falsehood which was
made and marketed simply because
there was a brisk demand for that
kind of lie.

PREPARE FOR 90

The battle is over, the smoke has
cleared away, now let us prepare for
the contest IN 1896.
The issues that are paramount
must be pressed 10 the front until
they are solved in Il manner that Is
just, honest and satisfactory to the
oppressed millions. In the coming
struggle there is TO be no breakdown,
no trucking, no temporiziDg, but
honest, earnest, active and determined
work in order to drive plutocracy
from the temple of the peoples lib
critics.
This government was founded up
on the principle, as enunCiated by
jefferson, that there SHOULD be no
extremely rich nor abjectIy poor" if
this principle is to be enforced, then
necessary laws must be enacted to
give all men equal chances in the
race of life.
A pure Democracy is what the
people are seeking, but be not con-
founded in our use of the term de-
mOcracy.
1t has no sort of reference to the
party that bears that name.
That party so grossly betrayed the
honest and cOntiding masses, that its
doom is now forever sealed.
The people, as rule, can be trust
ed. In this advanced age, they can
acquaint themselves with the great
issues, and then the methods of ac-
cOmplishment will follow. When
the people learn what is right, they
can be relied upon to do right. We
have absolute faith in the ability,
honesty and wisdom of the people.
Now, that the campaign is over,
let them devote earnest, deliberate
and thoughtful consideration to the
great questions that are to be settled
10y the ballot.
Good seed have been sown for re-
form, and if good harvest is to be
reaped there must be diligent and
conscientious work done.
The reformers should take cour-
age. Their force has been wonder
fully felt in the recent conflict, and
great changes have been wrought.
By perseverance, by harmonious
and determined action, the next
election will be still more surprise
than the recent one.
One of the Seven Wise Men of
Greece said that: "Nothing is i'm
possible to industry" This is a tru-
ism which many Of us have expert
enced.
By faith We can move mountains.
Buckle on the armor and continue
the good work for '96.
Consecrate yourselves anew for the
glorious work still ahead.
Circulate reform literature, drill
your forces, and acquaint them with
the work that is to be done.

as remarkable as in the above DIS
