where Do the:Popu,ists stand j?

The Voice.
If there is any issue that is domi-

may be expected to do SO on the sub

OF fact it is all tangled up on the
question, and no man can tell which
of two contradictory positions it
holds.

demands "a national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the
general Government only" The
same platform, in the HeXt plank,
demands 1.-THE free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold" The re-
cent ST. Louis conference reatfirmed
both these positions.
Now which uf these two positions
does the party hoif? Which will it
relinquish? it can not hold both,
unless it has the miraculous power of
being on both sides OF the same sub
Jet at the same time.
Und free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold, the owners of the
silver and gold, who take it to the
mint and have it stamped into dol
lars and made a legal tender, are the
obcs who issue it. government does

God s Love.
from the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
Ii two sparrows cannot fall to the
ground unnoticed by His vigilance,
it is not possible that He can be for
getful of us either when we rejoice or
when We weep. Even as Il mother
holds her first born close to her
heart when the little one is stricken
with some malady, SO does God fold
us in the embrace of love and sympa
thy when we struggle with tempta
tion or bend our shoulders to an
unusual burden. For His good
pleasure" he loves us always and
hates us never. Before He coald
hate He would have to blot from tn
history of the race the Garden of
Gethsemane and the Mount OF Cruel
fixion, for they tell US the story of
undying pity and unchangeabiea ffe"-
ton Gods love is your chief pos
session, the lamp that lights our
way through dark places, the heaven
ly music hat cheers the respondent
soul, the whisper OF angels amid the
the shadows which sometimes fall.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Noble desires, unless filled up with
action, are but shell Of gold hollow
within.
People seldom improve when they
have no other model than themselves to
copy after.
While the world lasts the sun will
gid the mountain tops before it shines
upon the plain.
Do not be ashamed to confess your
ignorance whenever you see an oppor-
tunity of acquiring knowledge.
The gnarliest and hardest of hearts
has some musical strings in it, but they
are tuned differently in every one of us
There are two kinds of critics-thcse
who complain that roses have thorns,
others who are grateful that thorns
have roses.
There is nothing which marks more
decidedly the character of men and of
nations than the manner in which they
treat women.
Gracious words, sympathizing atten-
tions, watchfulness against wounding
mems Eensitiveness-these cost very lit
tie, but are priceless in value
1t is better to meet danger than to
wait for it. He that is ON lee shore
and foresees a hurricane stands out to
sea and encounters storm to avoid
shipwreck.
Good nature and evenness of temper
will make you an easy companion for
life; virtue and good sense, an agreeable
friend; love and constancy, good wife
and husband.
Nothing more effectually conquers
mental Incidence and rouses torpid pow
ers to exertion than the necessity Of
making decisions, united TO the consci-
entious desire Of making right ones.

Hem Each Other.

From the Wilmington Star,
Southern farmers have been for
years buying nearly all of their agri-
cultural machinery and implements
from Northern or Western manufac
turers. Suppose the money thus
sent out of the South were invested
in esta blishments for the manufac
ture of such machinery and imple
ments, which could be done in every
State with the proper effort, wouldn't
that prevent great drain upon us
and 1T the same time establish in
dustries that would benefit us in
numerous ways. by creating u great
er demand for tim Der, iron, etc and
giving employment to maay people =?
We send North annually large
sums OF money for buckets, tubs, etc.

to bring these things in were invest
ed in esta blishments to make them
we could not only supply our own
needs and keep our money at home,
but we could supply the needs OF
others and bring money in.
There are scores OF industries that
might be established in the South
hich woul1 distribute the money
spent with them and tor them wit il
our people and thus contribute til
the general prosperity, il we would
help each other and make united
effort to better our own condition.
1t should be the patriotic resolve
OF al our people to patronize our
own home industries and not only
give the home merchant, the home
mechanic, aud the hoHe nlalutac 5ur
er as good u showing as we give
those in other States but q better

sihly cost us a trifle more but in the
long run it would be money in our
pockets as well as theirs, for it would
aid in the general prosperity anC
anything which contributes to that
would benefit us.

Until trusts, monopolies and all

a rich effect not otherwise cbtainahle
in serviceable costumes. A good English
serge or cheviot decorated with a fine de-
sign in mohair braid will endure all sorts

The bell skirt is of suede cloth and is trim

white cloth. The upper part of the sleeve
Is also made of white cloth. and the bertha

Braided Serge and Chevfot Gowns Al
Popular For General Wear.

Braiding is the only surt of trimming
that never goes out of fashion, but 1t has
not for many years been so much in de-
mand as it is this season.
Skirts, bodices, capes, coats, sleeves, and
even bonnets, are all braided. Whole bod
ices are covered with fine braiding, and
zouaves, flgcros and Elton coats are equally
in demand, whether in cloth or velvet, en-
riched with handsome design in braid.
Given a good up to date shnpe in one of
these, no worker need fear to invest in
several skeins of fine mohair braid and set
to work upon suitable material. Mohair
is far better for the purpose than silk
braid, as the latter is defaced by very little
wear, and as it is usually made over a cot
ton filling looks shabby as soon as the sur
face is rubbed.
A great deal of braiding is used on Eng
lish tailor made gowns, and while it unde-
niably adds much to their weight 1t gives
