Gov Tillman and Senator Butler
have both answered the question put
to them by Mr.. Thomas P. Mitchell,
Chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Farmers Alliance, and both
have expressed themselves as op-
posed to certain of the Ocala de-
mands. They are both standing on
the same platform, and the question
now is, whether Butler is apeing
Tillman, or Tfllman is trying to step
in Buffers tracks?

the Columbia Register, dispels the
impression that he had retired from

An old Chinese proverb says, "Do
not stop in a cucumber field to tie the
shoe" The meaning is very plain.
Some will be likely to fancy that you
are stealing fruit Always remember
the injunction, abstain from all APP
pearance of evil" Do not stop under
the saloon porch to rest yourself, how
ever shady the trees may be, or howev-
er inviting the chairs. Some one may
fancy you are common iounger there,
and so your good name will be tarnish-
ed. Don't go to liquor saloon to get
a glass of lemonade, however refresh
ing it may seem to you. Rather buy
your lemons and prepare the cooling
beverage at home, where others may
share with you, probably at no greater
expense than your single glass would
cost YOU Somebody seeing you drink
at the bar will be sure to tell the story,
and will not be particular to state that
you were drinking only lemonade.
Then, too, if you are careless about the
appearance of evil, you will soon grow
equally careless about the evil itself. -

Singing His Own Roof.

Chaplain McCabe tells the story of q
drinking man. who being in Is saloon
late at night, heard the wife OF the sa-
loon keeper say 30 her husband. Send
that fellow home: it is late" NO,
never mind" replied her husband. 'he
is Smuggling our house for Us" This
idea lodged in the mind of the drunk
ard. and he did rot return to the saloon
for six months. When passing the sa-
loon keeper in the street, the latter
said, Why don't you come around to
my place any more?" Thank you for
your kind hospitality" replied the for
mer victim, Il have been shiugiing my
own roof lately" The industrial as
poet of temperance reform is embodied
in this illustration.-Te Temperance Ad-

How we love to dwell upon Miss Will
lard's beautiful expressions Of truth to
the young people of the land. In
speaking to the Y. w. c. A. in Exeter
Hall, London, she concluded a beauti-
full speech by saying:
''The peaceful war for clear brains,
steady hands and protected homes is
the one in which, as a white ribbon
woman, am engaged with my com
rades all the world over, and in this no
ly war / know we have your sympathy.
But for our Lord and his church we
should never have had the temperance
reform. May His strength be yours,
and may we all work for the coming
day when each mans veal shall be all
mems carer
Oh! What grand little woman she
isl! How she deserves all the wealth
of love and admiration that world
could lay at her feet.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April The
Rev. Sam p. Jones, assisted by Rev.
George Stewart, will begin a notable
temperance crusade in this State. open
ing the campaign at Bristol, Tuesday,
May l. These two evangelists were III
Chattanooga yesterday.
1T will not be Prohibition move
ment for the purpose of stirring up the
people TO vote whisky out of the State,
said Mr.. Stewart to the Commercial
correspondent. what we want is a
local option law passed in Tennessee
so that any community, town or city
could by voting decide whether intoNi-
eating liquors should be sold within
their corporate limits. This Is right
that the majority, who are opposed to
barrooms. should have, and that's what
we are going to try to give them with
this crusade. 1t is a fight against the
saloons more than against whisky.
Nearly every State in the Union has a
local option law except the State Of
Tennessee. Georgia has had such a
law for years. and Atlanta now has and
is operating the best regulated and
most orderly barrooms in the country.
The Mississippi local option law IS a
model law. and / would like to see Ten
nessee adopt it. We want men elected
| to the legislature who are favorable to
| a local option law. | don't know wheth-
er the Prohibitionists are going to put
candidates out over the State or not:
| but if the Democratic or Republican
candidates would come out for local
option law | am sure the Prohibition
lists will not put men in the field, but
will support them.
Mr. Jones and I will speak first at
! Bristol on May |. We will hold five
meetings in Tennessee quickly follow
ing each other The balance of the
program is as follows: Knoxville. May
,; Chattanooga. May 3: Nashville. May
L Memphis, May >. We will have &C
Communications in each city forthc seat
ing of from 5000 to 10.oGo. Others will
have to stand up. All railroads will
give reduced rates to the various places
on the various dates named. The eel

\ novel and successful method OF
attacking the saloon evil on its bust
ness side has been in operation for
sometime in Worcester. Mass. in the
shape of coffee wagons. These wagons
are filled up like miniature coffee hous-
es with a bar in one end and room i'll
the other where customers are served
with hot coffee and light refreshments.
The wagons are permitted to stand in
public squares and in the streets in
front of factories and other places
where large numbers OF men congre-
gate. and they do thriving and profit
| able trade. Some of the wagons have
allnight permits. and do their largest
business after theater hours and to-
wards morning 1t is the testimony of
| the police of Worcester that the coffee
wagons have been useful and effective
as temperance agencies. Many per
sons resort to them who would other
wise patronize the saloons That they
fill a real need in the community is eg-
ident from the fact that eleven wagons
are maintained in Worcester and their
net earnings are from fifty to sixty
dollars per week. The average price
of the wagon fitted up for use is about
5000. The ladies' auxiliary of the
Church Temperance Society of this
city has obtained a fee-wagon and
will have it in operation soon. There
is valuable suggestion in this for all
who are concerned in immediate and
practical measures for overcoming the
evils of the saloon.-Er.

of Congress to appoint an impartial
National Commission of Inquiry upon
the alcoholic liquor traffic, in its relation
to crime, pauperism, taxation, and the
general public welfare. We trust the
prayer will be granted. The results of
such an enquiry, honestly carried out,

can glucose factory for bodies was be-
gun yesterday, and when the work.
men were compelled to quit by dark
ness the remains of four bodies had
been found The remains are simply
chunks of charred flesh and bone, no
one of which is more than two feet in
length. It is absolutely certain that
twelve men were burned, but there is
grave reason to fear there were
number of others, and it as not i'm
probable that there were twenty two
victims
