Opinions That Occur From Conditions
which Exist.
Charles Broadway Rouss, of New
York. has offered TO give 500, 600
toward the erection Of building for
the preservation of relics and me-
MORALS of the Southern Confeder-
acy. This proposition has been TAX
OF up by the organization of ex-Con-
federste soldiers, which has ap-
pointed . committee to cooperate
with Rouss and raise the remaining
funds necessary to erect such q
building Is he desires, and to decide
with him on its location.
The mule is frolicsome and mis-
chievous, but not as rule revenge
full, though there are exceptions to
this, as in the case of mule in an
Ohio coal NINE, which had patiently
submitted to being cruelty beaten by
its driver, but which the other day
reversed the order Of proceedings
by jumping on the driver and tramp
ing and biting him almost to death.
Assistance came in time to prevent
the mule from doing him up for
good.--Durham Sun.
The Populists OF Mississippi have
nominated full ticket and adopted
. ringing platform with the Omaha
declarations as the base. You will
observe that Populists everywhere,
whether North, South, East O, West,
believe in the same cardinal princi-
pies. as far as the great questions
are concerned, and don't have to
straddle and lie and make believe
like the lnsincere old frauds who
run the party machines for the
twin relics. "-Nonconformist.
Ex- Minister, or rather no-Minis-
ter Ransom, has drawn nearly $lO,-
600 from the Treasury. for which he
has rendered no service whatever
beyond roaming about the summer
resorts making unpleasant illusions
to Mexico and Mexicans. As q spe-
cimen of Democratic reform Ran
som heads the procession.-Ex.
At last accounts the New York Her
AIDS offer of $4,000 prize for the
best American novel had caused
1000 manuscripts to be forwarded
to the Office of that paper. 1t is es-
timated that it will take about thirty
six years for the judges to read the
books, even If they read fast and
finish up one day.
O, men, who stand at the ballot
box, holding in your hands the des-
tiny of millions yet to be, there are
great and wise men amid the break
ers pointing you as the only light by
which your country can be saved,
yet you heed them not. You do not
know. You do not comprehend the
magnitude of responsibilities that
are resting on you. You are blinded
by prejudice. Through the dark
ness all around US falls the light.
Yet millions in their blindness never
sse.-Alamo Signal.
1t is admitted at the Treasury De-
partment that the Administers ton
relies on the Rothschild syndicate
for the protection of the gold reserve.
In other words. the richest nation on
earth, owing to the incompetency of
the party in power, relies on a syn
dictate of London bankers to pro-
tect the financial interests of the
government. Even including the
long struggle during the time of the
civil war this country was never be-
fore in such a humiliating position.
And this protection" secured from
foreign bankers has been purchased
at the most usurious rate ever paid
by the Government for financial aid.
The administration and the party
guilty Of this great wrong deserve
to be spurned by the people.-Wln-
ston Republican.
The Populist camp-meeting held
at Fort Worth, Texss, on the 9Th,
9Th and 7th of this month was a sue
cess. Over $1,000 people were in at
tendance during the three days. The
Omaha platform was re-adopted, and
q 'middle-of-the-roai" policy de-
clared to be the winning card. Texas
will fall into the Populist column at
the next election. Richmond county
frauds. if attempted in the Lone
Star State, will build up graveyards
faster than political psrties.-Ex.
Two short years ago Democratic
and Republican papers ridiculed the
Populists' idea of the crime of 1879.
Now many of them are rewriting
Populist editorials on the subject.
The Review suggests that they turn
their attention to the crime of 1898,
when silver received its final death
blow at the hands of Democrats and
Let the people know
what You think of that; 1873 is too
Tar away.-Civic Review.
The highest compliment we eve,
heard paid the Alliance was paid il
by the door-keeper at its recent State
meeting 1T Cary, NC. He has been
1oor-keeper three years. No mem.
Der or delegate can enter the hall at
any time without giving him in d
whisper the door word. He said in
III that time he had not detected the
'cent Of liquor on q single member
u delegates breath. This is indeed
compliment on the representatives
IT that sober, upright order.-Hick-l
ny Mercury. III
