North Newbufg Farmers Club.

= The North Newburg Farmers Club was
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID. Top

were discussed: "The new women; would
the right to vote better her condition" "Is
there clause in the constitution of the
Uulted States whereby emigrants may be
taxed" and 'How can we most profitably
spend our time this winter"
Mrs. Clark Whelan led the discussion of
the first question with well prepared paper
and was followed by several impromptu
speeches by other members of the club-the
graceful and apt one by our hostess deserv-
ing special mention.
Section Q, clause ! of the constitution of
the United States was read to settle the
question of the right to tax emigrants, and
was explained as referring especially to the
importation of slaves.
Inc question, 'Or the most pr0htable way
in which to spend our time this winter" de-
pended too much on the personal tastes and
circumstances of the individual to be decid-
ell en- masse, and after some suggestions
were offered, was left for each one to decide
for himself.
A delicious supper was served and soon
after the guests left for home, each feeling
that this meeting of the CLUB had been
most delightful and instructive one.

AFRAID OF THE POPULISTS.

SENATOR CARTER. CHAIRMAN RE-
PUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMIT
TEE, VERY MUCH AFRAID OF THE
PEOPLES PARTY.
A recent dispatch from Washington
says:
Senator Elkins gave dinner tonight to
a numbeE Of members of the Republican
national committee. There also were pres
ent other prominent politicians of the par
ty, among whom were: Chairman Carter,
J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa; j. H. Manly. of
Maine; Powell Clayton, of Arkansas; Will
lam ]. Campbell, of Illinois; G. A. Hobart,
of New Jersey; Samuel Fessenden, of
Connecticut, and Senator Quay, Of Penn
sylvania.
While no particular object was stated
for the gathering, it is known that the
meeting developed into discussion Of
party politics and what was best to be
done during the next campaign. 1t was
not intended that the meeting should be
in the interest Of any candidate, and in
fact among the gentlemen present there
were friends of all candidates. During
discussion Of party measures. Chairman
Carter took occasion to say that he did not
think it was wise for the Republicans to
be too confident. Although it was appar-
ent there was victory in the air, he said
that there were reasons why it was not
well to be optimistic to degree of care

before the country might we'll cause the
Republicans to pause and reflect. The
president had placed himself squarely in
favor of retiring the credit money of the
country It was possible that the f1nan
cial centers of the country agreed with
him. There was no doubt that a course OF
that kind, if pursued, would make Popu-
liStc votes.
Mr. Carter called attention to what he
styled the remarkable growth Of the Pop
ulist vote. He said that it had increased
24O per cent during the past three years.
This great growth had not been developed
in the national legislature, as there were
less Populists in the house now than in the
Fifty-second congress, but the vote in the
different elections showed a Populist in
crease, which it was well for the Repub-
l;cans to take into consideration.
