Alarming symptoms. 8.

Referring to the recent platform
adopted by the Mississippi Populites
the Rolling Fork Pilot says: There
are undoubtedly few good features
about their platform and the resolu-
tions adopted, but the language used
and the style in which their work was
done, remind US more or revolution
lists than 'reformers' as they choose to
call themselves"
Sounds revolutionary, does it? And
still you must admit the righteousness
of the principles.
The trouble with the little namby
pamby papers of the old parties Is that
they are not accustomed to platforms
that mean what they say.
The reason Populism sounds reyolu-
tionary, is because 1t means to do some
thing more than straddle the fence and
yell.
Reform is always revolutionary. and
must be to accomplish anything. Old
barnacle institutions have to be torn
down, prejudices have to be smashed.
and the howery beds of ease on which
old party politicians repose have to be
removed; the temple of liberty has to
be fumigated; the tables Of the money
changers have to be kicked out Of the
sanctuary; and a general renovation,
painting, repairing and rebuilding is
necessary.
Brass bands, Mckinley tin thunder,
and stage lightning make startling
tableaux-but when they are over, the
audience don't do anything but sneeze
and rush for the door to get fresh air.
The Populists are not running that
kind Of a show.

To drop man in the middle OF the

The gold bugs, having had their

called by that name, or that Joseph
Jefferson was indirectly responsible
for the christening.
Upon the death of George Holland

personal friend, called upon his
widow and at her desire sought the
minister of the church which she
attended with the request that he
offieiate at the funeral of Mr.. Hol-
land, as it was desirable that it
should take place in a public place
of worship in order to accommo-
date the many friends of the de-

able change in the expression of his
face that it would make, at least to
him, great deal of difference. After
some hesitation he said he would be
compelled, if Mr.. Holland had been
an actor, to decline holding the serv-
ice at the church.
while his refusal to perform the
funeral rites for my old friend would
have shocked me under ordinary cir
cumstances, the fact that it was made
in the presence of the dead mans
son was more painful than l can

at the door and said:

there no other church to which you
can direct me from which my friend

He replied that there was a little
church around the corner where
might get it done, to which l an

'''Then if this be so, God bless the

The minister had unwittingly per-
formed an important christening, and

Church Around the Corner clings to
it to this day.
