GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS.

Mr.. James H. Pou, of Smithfeld, has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the State
Democratic Executive Committee.
The Peoples party nominated Gen.
J. B. Weaver for Congress in the Fourth
Iowa district several weeks ago. The
Democrats in that district have met in
convention and decided to put out no
candidate and will support Gen. Weaver
for Congress.
The South Carolina State Democratic
Convention re adopted the Ocala plat
form at Columbia Thursday. Of course
the South Carolina Democracy have
already walked out of the machine,
but they still retain their name, and
will again carry the State.
The Texas State Democratic Conven-
ton adopted the Chicago ''cowardly
makeshift" as a financial plank in their
platform Thursday, and Hon. J. II.
Reagan, a candidate for Governor,
withdrew from the race because he
couldn't stomach the platform.

LAWYERS.

John Gary Evans, in his speech at
Columbia, said that nobody but a
blatant demagogue would try to raise
the farmer"
If Mr.. Evans will get ''The Orators
of France" by Timon, 1873, he will find
these words:
"a government of sharpers would
be a government without morality and
without economy. A government of
soldiers would be a government with
out gentleness and without justice. A
government of lawyers would be a
government without conviction, with
outideas, without principles, and what
is perhaps worse, without action"
The book referred to was printed
fifty years ago. Timon was right.
Look at the government of lawyers
to day in Washington. The greatest
gang Of rogues that were ever got
together a a government-no ideas,
and no principles!
W. had the government Of soldiers
just after the war and up to 1877.
The sharper government" is well
represented by the advocates of oper
saloons and free whiskey in this State
to-day.
Like a lawyer in court, Mr.. Evans,
am only following "precedents." w,
farmers want a farmer; that's all

Crops Are All Right-Zeke Reads Til

of His Party.


B.-"Hellol Mr.. Editor"
R.-"Hellol Maj BiIkins. How are
cropsG"
B.-"Crops are lookin' splendid. We
are goin' ter hev a big overproducshun
ov everything fer man an beast, an
that means low prices. 1 reckin cotton
will linger along at 6 cents a pound an
other things accordin'."
RI thought you always claimed
that people do not work and never
make enough to live on"
B.-"Well, I do claim that an it's
so. Sum places they don't make ennuff
en- sum places they make too much"
R.-''That being so they ought to
keep up a pretty good average. In this
day of quick transportation by rail
and by water prices in the United
States ought to be governed by supply
and demand, but frequently the less
we make of anything, wheat for in
stance, the lower the price. The wheat
crop last year was %, OOO, 600 bushels
below the average, is still smaller this
year, and yet the price is lower than
ever known. The cotton crop for the
past two years was smaller than for
several preceding seasons and cotton
is lower than ever known since it came
into general USE"
BIT don't care what you say, its
overproduction."
R.-"Have you aver seer any corn,
wheat, meat or cotton laying around
unused9"
B.-"No. I have heerd that lots of
people haint got ennuf clothes nor en-
huff ter eat"
R-"That is true, and that is proof
that there is no overproduction."
B.-"Well, go ter grass with your
logick. I'm studyin's somethin' else
now. I'm alarmed about the success
ov the dymakrat party. They say
President Cleveland an the Senate hav
turned Republican in everything but
name"
R-"That is mistake. I guess"
B.-"No, it haint. I heered several
dymakrats say so, and seed it in sum
dymakratick papers. I no it's so. l
hereby read the Preserdent and Senate
out of the dymakrat party now and
henceforth forever. 1 know Betsy will
jump erbout ten feet hi when she
reads this, fer she protested that this
would cum ter pass Betsy il latin in
her sleeves at me awl the time emmy
how. She IL a trailer, a anarkist an
a rebel. She wants ter rule or ruin all
the time"
R-'Your party beats that. 1t is
ruling and running both. l know
there are many good men in the party,
and they do not approve of the course
pursued by the leaders. They knew
what they were voting for, or ought to
have known"
B."-Yes, I know you Alliance fel
lows told us, but we wouldn't listen.
We thought you were taIkin' just ter
hear yourselves, but it looks like you
were tellin' the truth. May heart liz

Too Much Woman.

For conscience sake, let US cease this
everlasting prattle about the present being
''woman's century" and "woman's age."
i'm plying each time that we say ii that the
women of any previous age were driveling
idiots, and casting a slur upon the very
women who gave US our being, writes Ed
ward w. Box in vigorous defense OF the
woman of generation ago, in the May
Ladies' Home Journal
Why is this "wOman's century" any
more than any century before it? just
because few thousand more women are
engaged in business? Does that fact make
a "wOmaD's century,? We haven't deter
mined yet, by any means, whether the
present tendency OF woman going into the
rougher commercial pursuits is to her
interest or to the benefit of those who will
follow her. a little caution here ls a very
good thing. What sense is there in this
constant ding-donging into the ears OF our
girls that they are born at the dawn OF
woman's emancDation"?
Emancipation from what? Will this
sort of thing teach our girls to have greater
respect for the women of past generations? ?
If we keep up this harangue much longer
/ shall not blame our youngest girls If
they get the notion that the world only
began about forty or fifty years ago.
If we expect children to have respect
for their mothers and their mothers parent s
we cannot enshroud the times in which
they lived with the darkness of ignorance
and bigotry. The women who lived be-
fore the present agitators of the 'woman's
century" were born did thing or two in
the worlds history, far more, venture to
propbesy from their present talk, than the
women of to-day will do in these latter
days il they pursue their present course.

az oswald Everard, who was standing near
her, almost dazed.

SAID, and she at once began the Second

What can one say of the wild rush Of the
leading theme and the pathetic longing of

The murmuring dying notes
That fall as soft as snow on the sea;
And
The passionate strain that deeply gosng
Rehnes the bosom 1t trembl es through.
What can one say of those vague aspira-
tions and finest thoughts which possess
the very dullest among us when such
music as that which the little girl had
chosen catches us and holds us, if only for
passing moment. but that m oment Of the
rarest worth and loveliness in our unlove-
ly lives?
What can one say of the highest music,
except that, like death, 1t Is the great lev
eler; it gathers us all to its tender keep
Ing and-we rest.
The little girl ceased playing. There
was not a sound to bs heard; the magic
was still holding her listeners. When at
last they had freed themselves with sigh,
they pressed forward 10 greet her.
There is only one person who can play
like that" cried the major, with sudden
spiration-''shs is Miss Thyra Flower

The little girl smiled
That is my name," she said, simply
and she slipped out of the room.
The next morning at an early hour, the
Bird Of Passage took her flight onward.
but she was not destined to go off unob-

figure swinging along the road, and he
