Homesick Soldiers.

"Homesickness, or nostalgia, as it is
called in medical terminology,' said
Post Hospital Surgeon McKim at Wash
ington, lis a w%ell-defned malady in
every army, and carries away a great
many soldiers from apparently I'M
known causes, like Major Neumeyer's
beans. A great many brave soldiers
waste away with hopeless longing for
their wives and children. The records
show that thousands of German SOL
diers who were compelled to fight in
Napolecn's army succumbed tx helm
web. 1t was pronounced in that army
because the Germans are very fond of
their home and dear ones, and were
fighting under the colors of their con-
Queror, in some cases against their own,
countrymen. BEf it is a tangible quail

Before they were aware Of her treach-

the last they ever saw of her was her
beautiful but wicked face leaning over

A TRUST.
Three Billions Of Capital in One Grand
Combine.

Three Billions of Capital in Ono Grand
Combine.
The biggest combine on earth is
now being formed by the railroads OF
this country. The great trust forma-
tion which G.. P. Huntington, the South
ern Pacific magnate advocated some
years ago in the North American Re-
view, is now in progress of organiza-
ton.
The Hon. William E. Chandler, writ
ing to the interstate commerce COM
mission from Concord, N. H., under
date of Aug. II, says that "the combi-
nation will be the greatest association
of capital which America, perhaps the
world, has ever known. It embraces all
the American lines between Chicago
and the west, and New York and the
east, and also the Grand Trunk railway
of Canada, doubtless covering $780,
100000 of organized money
Three billions Of capital in n grand
combine: Just think of it! Who says
now that the transportation question is
a matter Of minor mention?
Mr.. Chandler goes on: "The object
is to abolish competition in freight and
passenger rates, to guard against any
possible lowering of prices, and to ac-
complish as soon as the traffic will bear
it, q raising of the present charges"
Mr.. Chandler quotes the New York
Tribune as saying that the counsel for
the companies will see that the agree
ment complies with the laws of all the
states as we'll as those Of the United
States"
The peoples party have a remedy for
such combinations as we have de-
scribed. But neither the democratic
nor the republican party propose any
cure for the evils Of railroad monopoly.

the Golden Fleece, which was the
treasure of her father. But after help
Ing him she dared not face her fathers
anger. So she departed with Jason
from Colchis and became his wife.
Now, 0 remember that it had been
no easy task to take the fleece from the
sacred grove of Mars. A dragon with
q hundred eyes that never all slept at
the same time guarded it. And it was
only by entertainments and charms that
Jason was enabled to obtain the prize.
When Medea was alittle child she
passed her life with Gree. her fathers
sister. From her she learned the Sc
icret power of herbs; how to invoke the
dark powers with incantations: in
short, all the secrets of entertainments
and sorcery.
So it was by her power that Jason
had first tanned the fire-breathing bulls;
had slain the army that sprung fully
armed from the soil, after he planted
the teeth of the dragon: and it was by
her that the dragon In the grove of
Mars was put to sleep while Jason
lsnatched the shining fleece, and you re-
member how they sped together down
20 the Argo, and, as Orpheus played
upon his harp, how the vessel sailed
swiftly away.
But not unpursued did the Argo de-
part. King Aeetes suspected treach-
cry, and finding, when too late, that
his treasure was gone and his prey es-
capped, for he had intended killing ia
son on the next morning, he started
after the fleeing bark.
Medea had foreseen this result and
mad guarded against it. She had
brought her little brother with her,
and now she called him to her. When
the pursuing vessels began to gain
upon the Argonauts, she committed
ithe darkest crime in her life. Her lit
tle innocent brother, who loved her
and depended upon her, was sacrificed
iSy 4her own hand. After killing him,
rs he embraced and kissed her, she cut
MS poor little body into pieces and
threw them out Of the vessel, and King
Aeetes, stopping to gather them up to
give them decent burial, gave up the
chase, and the Argo sped on.

Kentucky.
The following editorial appeared in
the Daily Evening Post, Of Louisville,
KY, "a strong Democratic paper) a few
days ago.
"Mr. Hardin Democrat) is trying to
steal the thunder of Mr.. Thomas S. Pet
tit, Populist
Mr.. Petit has higher claim to the
support of so-called free silver demo-
Gratis than has Mr.. Hardin.
Mr.. Petit is a better democrat than
Mr.. Hardin. He is loyal to thejprinci-
pie of representation in the conduct Of
party affairs. He left the democratic;
party by the front door, bee use he be-
lieved the party wrong Ell had the
courage to surrender the hope of polit-
lcal advancement rather than snrrSA4SSe-
his convictions. L
He preferred to leave the p4{I to
having the party leave I'm. WNaay
differ with MI. Petit p pffni re-
spect his firmness, hi e. toprin-
clple and respect for fs,.Y n
Mr.. Petit, moreover "a better
speaker than Mr.. Hardin, and a far bet
ter debater.
IF the committee desired to have Mr..
Bradley's Crepublican) arguments in be-
half OF q sound currency answered, they
should have named-not Mr.. Hardin,
who knows nothing on either side of
the question, but Mr.. Petit, who has
the arguments of the populists at his
tongues end.
Still further, Mr.. Petit would make
a better governor than Mr.. Hardin.
Ills judgment is sounder; his views are
clearer; his reasoning powers stronger,
and ne knows how to express himself
SO his auditors can understand him.
Give Mr.. Petit a chance. He has
had great experience in legislation and
knows enough to know that many OF:
Gen. Hard1n's vagaries are utterly abb
surd.
1T is true that Mr.. Petit is the can
didate of the populists, but he is not
their victim; no one has hypnotized
him, and he would lead his followers;
and not surrender to them.
Mr.. Petit is a man of many ideas;
Mr.. Hardin is a man Of one. Mr.. Pet
tit stands by his platform; Mr.. Hardin
r~epudiates his. Mr.. Petit was the
choice of the party; Mr.. Hardin was
forced on the party against it's wish.
Mr.. Petit bows to the will of the ma
jority; MI. Hardin's own will is a law to-
him. Mr.. Petit at Frankfort would be
prudent, cautious, painstaking, indus
trious; Mr.. Hardin would be obstinate,
indolent and dangerous to all interests.
"Altogether, it would, in our judg-.
ment, be far better for the state and
for the democratic party to elect Pet
tit than to elect Hardin"

HoAR AND THE JOKER.
Revenge Of a Colored Man on the States

Revenge of a Colored Man on the States
man from Backbay.
Sherman Hoar took a painful part
in an incident, a star part at that,
which, while grief inspiring in all it's
phases, couldn't be called a fight. Nor
was it exactly with a member of con-
gress, although the foe had close bust
nass relations with the house. Hoar
was very young, and, to his disgust,
very much resembled in personal ap-
pearance one of the head pages of the
house. This head page was a great
practical joker, and the butt 81 much
of his humor wa a sleepy darby who
had charge of the house washroon,.
This Congo was prone to sit in a chair
in the Mushroom and slulnber. The
funny head page would sly up to him
as he slumbered and tip him over on the
floor. This was a joke. Before the
Congo could recover himself for ven
geance the head page would be back
in the house, beyond whose green baize
portals no humble black man might
pursue his prey.
zone afternoon the humorous page
tipped oyer the sleepy colored man sew
eral times. 1t gave the head page great
joy. The victim of all this fun lusted
for revenge. He would give a weeks
salary for an opportunity to play a re-
turn game with his tormentor.
cit was four o'clock in the afternoon
when, opening his eyes, after a cat nap,
he beheld his prosecutor bending over
a wash basin, refreshing his face.
The bedevilled Congo's joy was uncon-
fined. The Lord had delivered the enc
my into his hands.
"The negro is not an originator. At
best, he is only an imitator. In this
supreme hour of triumph our poor
black friend could think of nothing
better than to creep to the unsuspect-
ing tyrant and kick him. This he did,
and he threw all the force of his trop-
ical nature into the caress. He kicked
the enemy soundly and roundly, and
then stood back to enjoy his victory.
"The force of this real end collision
drove the victims head against the
wall with amazing force. 1t was not
unnatural that he should look up. He
did so, and the darby was Mortified
when he recognized the features of
Sherman Hoar, representative from the
Boston Backbay district. The darby
did not faint, for the reason that dar~
kies never faint. But he grew several
shades lighter at the thought of what
he had done.
"Hoar, on his part, could not find
words to express his indignant %astonisll-
ment. At last the poor darby managed
to explain, in the most humble and con-
trite fashion, that he had mistaken
Hoar for the head page, who oppressed
him. Hoar granted him forgiveness,
although in his proud heart he regard
ed the explanation as a greater insult
than the assault. After that, too, Hoar
bathed his face at his hotel. He did
not care to take further risks in the
house washroom, for the kick had not
diminished his resemblance to the
page"

The democratic papers of the South
strive to keep each other in counter,
ance by repeating with variations the
tune "Populists are Dying" But none
OF them ever venture an argument
against the principles Of populism. To
win, is the one glorious object Of the
old parties--to be right never troubles
their minds for a moment.
