You'd Better Co.

We understand that every pop.
ulist in ward 9, and possibly
some in adjacent wards, has been
personally and specially invited to
be present at the Popnlist club
meeting at Chaler, Saturday night,
and we suppose there is something
very interesting going to happen.
Guess we'll go down and try to
find out something about it.

The Gauntlet Thrown Down

The Town Talk, a Democratic
organ published in the city of
Alexandria, declares that we need
no ballot reform until after the
election in April of next year, at
which time the amendment to the
constitution it hoped would be car
ried. The Town Talk might also
have added that it expected the
amendment to be carried by fraud
ulent election methods.
This same amendment to the
constitution provides for quail
fed suffrage, and further provides
that in subsequent years that the
power to change this portion of
our organic law be vested within
the Legislature, taking it out of
the hands of the common people.
Then if this infamous, damnable,
and hell born amendment Is count
ed in as the Town Talk very COM
placently admits by its position it
will be, this State is delivered into
the hands Of the red handed assas-
ins of liberty and coId-blOOded cru
offers of justice, till the people
rise up in righteous Indignation
and arm the great labor hand with
the sword of retributive justice
and with one herculean effort drive
the villains at its dripping point
out of the temples of our fathers
and return the government to its
rightful possessors.
The perfdy of the Town Talk is
not by any sort of means hidden or
disguised by the mantle it under
takes to draw over the true in
wardness of its real position by
claiming that no reform in the
election methods of this state is
necessary until after the amend
ment to the constitution can be
adosted, and this will place the
people completely at the mercy of
the public plumbers.
There can be no neutrality upon
this grave and important question.
Those who are not in favor of hon.
est elections are in favor of cor
rupt elections.
Those who are not in favor of
this system of stuffing ballot boxes
being put down NOW are in favor
of its continuation, and will so use
and exert their influence.
If ballot reform is not desirable
NOW, il could be said with Just as
much propriety that it would not
be desirable year or 10 years in
the future.
If the present methods employ
ed 10 manufacture majorities to
order are wrong, they need cor
recting, and they need correcting
NOW.
Ii it is legitimate-to count the
Populists out-then come out and
say SO, aud quit acting the part Of
the infamous bypocrit.
If it would be q crime against
society to stuff ballot boxes in
1900, then it is equally criminal tC
be guilty of the act in 1896.
| If it is right to stuff ballot boxes
in the election of 1895, then i!
could not be said that right had
fossilized into wrong during the
four short years that would inter
vene between 1896 and 1900.
/ If the Town Talk feels upon all
other questions as it'does upon the
lone of ballot reform, then If the

a beauty.
Eya's soft blue eyes and bright little
ways wrought dire destruction in the
ranks of the stronger sex, but she ap-
peared quite unconscious of her power
or Indifferent to it. To all intents and
purposes she had promised to marry
Charlie Nelthorpe. His will was her
law and to please him the chief object
of her life. In short, his programme
seemed i'll a fair way to be carried out.
Her total submission delighted him,
and he took every advantage of it. 1t
was not in him to show generosity to a
woman or indeed to anything he
thought weaker than himself. He was
the sort of man who is brutal to his
dogs and horses and overbearing to his
servants - who, in short tyrannizes
whenever he can do SO without fear of
retaliation. His nature asserted itself
i'll his dealings with the woman he
loved, and he took the keenest possible
pleasure in trading on her forbearance,
taxing her endurance to tho utmost and
showing off her plant will and obedient
temper to the world at large. 1t was all
a part of the system that could not fail.
Charlie went on giving his petty ar
roganee full play until, as was only to
be expected things came to crisis.
The wonder was they had not done sc

On the occasion of Lady Brown Jones

lease held by the Compress Co., for
the land near the coal chute, on the
Iron Mountain road
Mr.. Ehrman, the manager Of the
Monroe Stave Co., is here, and the
machinery for the big factory Is on
the yards now and work will begin

Mr.. Rose, Supt. Iron Mountain Ryp
was seen yesterday by the members
of the Board of Trade and every
thing was arranged except as to
the lease which he thought could
be adjusted at once.
The Monroe Staye Company Is a
corporation with a paid up capital
of $25O,OOO. They export all their
slaves to Europe direct, and this
will be the first exporting establish
