DESERTS THE PoPULIsTs.
Ex.Congressman Clover, of Kansas;
Abandons the Third
Party.

News comes from Topeka, Kan
sas, to the effect that Ex- Congress
man Glover, who was elected by the
Third Party in 1890, has deserted
the Third Party.
Clover was state president of the
Farmers Alliance in 1S89-90, and it
was under his administration that
the order reached its zenith in pow
er and influence.
He was not Calamity bowler"
but honestly sought to have the
farmer and workingman relieved
from some of the evils which had
fastened themselves upon these
classes
In renouncing his allegiance to
the populist party and returning to
his first political love, Mr.. Glover
declared in an open letter that the
populist party under the present
management, had deserted every
idea that gave rise to that organi-
cation, and that it is now under the
control of political freebooters who
are running it for personal gain,
and indulging in corrupt methods
and practices. He refers to the
present scandalous conditions pre-
vailing in every penal and eleemos-
ynary institution in the state, and
the fact that the metropolitan po-
lice officers were organized into
force to collect campaign funds
from all forms of lawbreakers. He
arraigns the state officials whe were
elected on a platform and party
pledge to oppose greed and corpo-
rate favoritism, but are now neg
lecting public business and enjoying
the free pass system to travel over
the state, working to perpetuate
their own official life. This, he de-
clares, is more than either of the
old parties had ever been charged
with. He then pledges his time
and energies to help the Republi-
cans to redeem Kansas from the
misrule of the bogus reform which
he assisted to power in 1892.

BRIGHT STAR TWINKLINGs.

BRIGHT STAR, ARK, Aug. 27, '94
Saturday, the 25th, is now slum-
boring with the dead past, and with
it all hope of Populist success in
this neck of the woods. We have
had Mr., Huffman; he falls short of
our expectations, from what we
had heard of the man. His argu-
ment is about such stuff as dreams
are made of, and of course falls to
the ground when compared with
the records.
Mr.. Foreman's object is so well
understood, and such a monumen-
tai failure, that tbs folly to notice
his speech here, farther than to
say his name will be- good material
in the future to point moral or
adorn a tale.
Col w. r. Kelly was most cordi-
ally received by the Sulphur Democ-
racy, which paid him marked atten-
ton as he, in his own inimitable
style, was contending for the Faith
once delivered the Saints, and foi
the maintenance and supremacy OF
true Democratic principles, the
basis on which the superstructure
of good government is erected
Mr.. Wallaces speech was grand
glowing with an oratory of high
order and a patriotism truly sub
lime, His castigation of the Re
publican midget was highly enjoyed
by the audience, as was evidenced
by round after round of deafening
applause. Democracy was trium
plant. We stand ready and united
for the impending fray. Put Sui
phur down as Of old-the Gibraltar
Of Miller county Democracy.

Elegance is one thing and strength

least reason why the two should not
go together in furniture. To say

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
Ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
.he needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
iispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
9ning them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by I'll drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it Is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being well informed, yon will not
accent any substitute if offered.

REFUSED TO SIGN.
The Tariff Bill, Senate Amended, Be-
comes Law, But Not by Pres
idential Approval.

In view of the fact that the Sen
ate tariff bill was permitted to be-
come law "by expiration of limi-
tation, and not by the approval of
the nations Chief Executive, it fol-
lows, naturally, that the Presidents
reasons for not afixing his sigma
ture to this important party meas
ure must be of almost universal in
terest to the general public. We
therefore reproduce the more sail

EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
WASHINGTON, Aug. q, 1894 {
Hon. 7. c. Catchings.
DMY DEAR SIR Since the CONVEX
sation I had with you and Mr.
Clark, of Alabama, few days ago,
in regard to my action upon the
tariff bill, now before me, I have
given the subject further and most
serious consideration. The result is
| am more settled than ever in the
determination to allow the bill tc
become a law without my signature.
When the formulation of legislation
which it was hoped would embody
Democratic ideas of tariff reform
was lately entered into by Congress
nothing was further from my an
ticipation than a result which |
could not promptly and enthusiastic
cally endorse.
1t is, therefore, with feeling of
the utmost disappointment that ]
submit to a denial of this privilege.
do not claim to be better than
the masses of my party, nor do l
wish to avoid any responsibility
which, on account OF the passage
of this law, ought to bear as a
member of the Democratic organi-
zation Neither will I permit my
self to be separated from my party
to such extent as might be implied
by my veto of tariff legislation,
which, though disappointing, is
still chargeable to Democratic eff
fort.
But there are provisions in this
bill which are not in line with hon
est tariff reform and it contains in
constituencies and crudities which
ought not to appear in tariff laws,
or laws of any kind. Besides, there
were, as you and [ well know, Incl
dents accompanying the passage of
the bill through Congress which
made every sincere reformer unhap-
Ply while influences surrounded in
its later stages and interfered with
it's final construction which ought
not to be recognized or tolerated in
Democratic tariff reform councils.
And yet Notwithstanding all it's
viscissitudes and bad treatment it
received at the hands of pretended
friends, it presents vast improve
ment to existing conditions. 1t will
certainly tighten many tariff bur
dens that now rest heavily upon the
people.
1t is not only a barrier against
the return Of mad protection, but
it furnishes a vantage ground from
which must be waged further ag-
gressive operations against protect
ed monopoly and governmental
favoritism.
