BIueberry Pickers at Work

The army OF BURBERRY piekers is at
work in Washington county. On the
Cberryfeld bsrrens alone five hundred
pickers are at work, and will harvest 5000
bushels of the berries. All along the
road from Aurora to Beddington are
white tents and camp fires, and around
Schoodic the Gordon OF pickers will
skirmish for the next six weeks
Most OF the berries go to the canning
factories, and it is estimated that over
5000 bushels OF the blue balls will be
canned in Washington county this year.
The enterprise is conducted ON business
principles to avoid war in camp. \ man
leases from the owner tract OF land and
hires piCkers at two cents per quart; a
fair price when pickers rake in four
bushels in one day, as they often do. One
man has a record OF nine bushels.

Platt did. He lived 90 get on top again

Platt courage never dies. He has a fight

party il requires q two-thirds vote in
It's national convention to control its
policy and nOminote ITS candidates.
There is no probability that either
wing Of the party viii be able to
control a tWo-thlrds vote, and a di-
vision would seem to bs inevitable.
In that event practically the same
condition will exist that did when the
democratic party split at Charleston
in 1860. The intelligent, independ-
ent voters will be foot-lOoss and will
seek new slignments This will be the
case also with the intelligent and in
dependent republicans, and through
out the West and South this class
is likely to be in the msjority. It is
too early to predict what the new
Rlignments will be. Much will de-
pend upon the policy and the Candi-
date of the Peoples party. Ifthey are
such as 10 inspire confidence and re-
spect the success of the republican
party in 1850 may be repeated by
the Peoples party in 1896. To in-
sure this result the policy Of the
party must be consistent, and it's
candidates must be clean men. A
vscillating course will not win, nor
will the nomination Of scheming poll
ticisns who regard party success
above the triumph of principles. If
the Peoples party cannot get out Of
the old political ruts5 and rise above
the political party methods of the
past it will certainly fail, and il will
deserve to. The result rests with
the people. Will they take the reins
in their own hands, or will they still
suffer the politicians to driveG II
we could resume the spirit that ami
mated the party in 1890 and pursue
the methods then pursued, there
could be no possible doubt of the re-
suit. Will the rank and file Of the
party take note in time?
