MR.. AMMoNs TO Mr.. HUFHAN.

Mr.. EDITOR:-In The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER of April Sd is an article over
my signature which has aroused the
wrath of T. M. Huffman immensely.
He says I called him IN "upetart.'
Now, reader, turn to the paper of
April Sd and read for yourself. T. NJ
Hufham's name is not in the article,
and had his notoriety depended on
that article he would have never been
known to fame. It's the hit dog that
yelps." So when Mr.. Huffman saw my
statement he said that's me, for I said
that very thing, and so he takes up his
pen to vindicate himself for saying
that Republicans are too ignorant to be
able to tell why they vote the ticket;
that Democrats are such ounces that
they don't know the difference between
high tariff and a red heller, and the
Third partyites don't know anything,
only that they have fallen ont with the
government and gone to cursing it.
Now, gentle reader, it seems to me
that this is a grave charge. But I want
to pick out a few specimens of this
wonderful production which may be
seen by turning to the first page Of THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER Of April "a, and
signed T. M. Hufham. He says he Cd
''seeks to create the impression that
the speaker in question made an attack
on the Populist party" This is wholly
gratuitous. He slapped every party
in the fece; and his remarks, if he be
the fellow aimed at and he says he ucGs
guilty, was an insult to all parties.
Under ordinary circumstances, it
would hardly be necessary to reply to
anything that might fall from the pen
of Mr.. Ammons."
Well, what a pity that he should
consent to lower himself by noticing
what fell" from my pen. 1t is a law
of honorable debate that n should
treat his opponent as his equal, and he
who condescends to treat his antagon-
lst otherwise, or enters into discussion
with his inferior, degrades himself
makes himself the subject of ridicule.
His disapproval cannot quite kill,
nay, it would avail far more to make
alive" Mr.. Ammons was @ Demo
crat OF secession and slavery, a Demo.
crat Of reconstruction, and at this late
day a sheer from him at the Demo
cratic party sounds strangely out q
place" Of course it does to such ae
ne. The fellow who has no indepen
n OF thought, who submits to the
iaSh OF his party leaders, who gloriet
more IN calling himself a Democrat OF
republican than in calling himself ar

TURNED OUT OF HOME.
Mrs. Bremen and Her Babies Starving
on the Sidewalk.

Mrs. Bremen and Her Babies Starving
on the Sidewalk.
The people living on the East Side IN
and about Henry street have been
moved to unusual sympathy and char
ity by the misfortunes of Mrs. Bertha
Bremen. Until Wednesday last she
lived in the tenement house at No. a
Henry street. Mrs. Bremen has five
small children, the youngest a baby.
Her husband, Lewis, is a tailor, and
has been unable, she says, to get work.
The hard times have prevented Mrs.
Bremen also from getting work and as
q result the rent fell behind. The land
lord instituted ~dispossess proceedings
against her in the Second district court.
With tears in her eyes the poor woman
told the Justice: II have 10 place to
go and no money with which to get
another place to live and my husband
cannot get work. If we are forced out,
oh, what will become of our babies9 If
the landlord will only wait I will get
work before 'ong, and when l do will
pay him all that / owe." The landlord
was ob6urate, however, and the judge
issued the ~dispossess warrant.
A city marshal issued the warrant
last Wednesday. Her household effects
were placed on the sidewalk. A wick
erwork baby carriage was among the
effects moved out with the other house
hold goods.
Nigbtfall came on Wednesday with
the poor woman seated in a chair at
the dining table on the sidewalk. Three
children were gathered about her and
the baby was sleeping in the wicker
work carriage. Mrs. Bremen placed a
tin soup plate on the table before her.
81 don't know what to do" she said,
perhaps some one will drop a few
pennies into the plate and in that way
I will at least be able to get something
to keep my babies from starving"
A lamp had been removed from the
tenement and Mrs. Bremen lighted it
and placed it beside the tin plate. Ali
night long she sat there trying to com
fort her children, who with the coming
of darkness began to cry. Nearly every
passerby dropped something into the
tin plate. The money, however, did
not aggregate a large amount, and
Mrs. Bremen has not yet realized a
sum sufficient to enable her to rent an
other place. Night and day since the
hour she was dispossessed she has sat
by the table, where the little tin plate
told the pathetic story of her necessi
ties. Mrs. Bremen was in great fear
yesterday afternoon lest it might rain.
IL it did she declared she would not
know what in the world to do.-Ne1U
York Press,

American citizen, would be astounded,
Mortified, amazed. "His appellation
of upstart hardly deserves to be digni-
fed with an answer. 1t is a favorite
word which decayed influence and lest
power loves to cast at a younger gen.
Grafton"
All! here is the rub. That word up,
start has for him a terrible signif-
canoe. But who called him an up
start" 1 made a statement of what
an ''upstart Democrat" had said, using
no name; and forthwith he rushes into
print to vindicate himself. His con-
fession is exceedingly amusing. Does
he claim to be an "upstartG" Why
then answer to the names
But what offense had I committed
had 1 called him by name and said he
was an ''upstart." Webster says:
''Upstart, one that suddenly rises from
low life to wealth, power or honor. 2
Something that springs up suddenly"
Where is the point of offense, or does
he claim to belong to the ancients? Is
he not of recent origin7 Not even old
enough to be a Democrat of secession
and slavery, a Democrat Of reconstruc-
ton; and yet he seems to need recon
structing, as the latter-day saints
Democrats will find out to their utter
confusion.
But this little piece of Mr.. Hufham's
contains evidence irrefferageble of his
over-weening self-esteem. He that ex,
hibits himself before the public be-
comes the subject of public criticism
of censure or approval-and he who
can't endure to have his words re,
peated and commented on would do
we'll to keep his mouth shut.
hope I have not laid myself open in
this paper to the charge of a bad spirit
as he did in his. According to what he
insinuates l am nothing but an old fOs-
sill, without power" influence" or
ability, wanting in dignity and char
acter and whose opposition would tend
more to make alive" than kill
Well, its doing me some credit to ad-
NIT that l once possessed substance
capable of being fossilized, for some
persons are void of hat property. AS
to the killing business the brother need
have no fears; l am not in the business
of wasting ammunition.
Of all little things, the least is the use
of personal filings and i%nuendoes instead
of and under the guise of argument.
He did not because he dare not deny
my statements. Let him squirm
l have done; let him write to us f
he desires. JOHN AMMONF.

A great deal of overlooking and
stuffng have resulted from the enron
eous belief that the COW could be made
to increase the quantity and quality Of
milk without iimi5 by simply ircreas-
ing the ration. According to this theory
it would only be necessary to tind out
the best ration that could DO fed to the
COWS with the largest moun of mar
gin of prtf5s, and then go ahead IL
supplying the animal with unlimited
quantities. Tie cow would simply bo
a feeding and producing machiue at
this rate. Feed would be showed in,
and it would come cut in the form OF
milk and cream worth twice as much
as the fOod. Unfortunately, this theory
IS not correct. Cows must be fed

Washington, Oct. "a special from
New orleans says "The strike situation in
this city has assumed a serious phase, and
a race war is threatened. This afternoon
there was a good deal of excitement on
the levee between Jackson and Sixth

caused by the report that an armed force
of negroes was en- route to the scene to
avenge the action of the mob Saturday.
In a moment every place of business in
the locality was closed and work was
suspended. Women and children ran
into their houses for safety, expecting at
any moment to hear the reports of shoot
ing. Chief of Police Caster sent a large
force to the scene of the alleged trouble.
''The moment the screw men of the ships
heard the report they swarmed out -four
isling their reVolvers and rifles, but they
could not find the enemy. Tonight men
congregated in the neighborhood and the
report is that both the negroes and whites
are preparing for a fight tomorrow
The governor arrived tonight and held
a long. conference with the directors of the
cotton exchange. 1t is expected that he
will order out the militia.
ITO further complicate the situation

against working with negroes.
