PARTY OF THE LONE STAR
STATE.
TT. Worth, Tex, May SCATTER 4S
hours Of almost continuous session, the
state executive committee of the Popu-
lists issued an address to Texans. In
substance they say:
Many recent events warn us that a
crisis in the history Of our country is
approaching. We, who have felt the
effects of the great industrial depression
most keenly, who have witnessed the
constantly increasing poverty in the
homes of the people who have heard the
mutterings of discomfort and witnessed
the sorrowful faces of despair where for
merly peace. happiness and prosperity
abounded, have long known that labor
was not reaping its reward because of
unjust laws in the interest of incorporate
capital, and that the light of liberty was
fast going out beneath the overspread-
ing shadow of plutocracy, the doctrines
Of vested rights, and the sanctity of pd-
vate property, so dear to the Anglo-Saxon
heart, have been perverted to build bull
warks for the rich and break down the
barriers once erected around the possess
ions Of the poor. Thus, wealth produced
by labor has been taken to fill the over
flowing Golfers of the indolent rich, while
the agencies Of the most powerful gov
eminent on the globe have been en-
ployed to put shackles ON the laboring
man.
Courts Of equity, organized to admin
lister justice, have put still heavier hands
on the hopeless and helpless victims of
corporate oppression. The overthrow Of
the income tax Is significant warning
to the people that they must continue to
bear the burdens Of the government, must
bear its flag and fight its battles, but
must not share in the benefits, which are
reserved for the rich. Concurrent with
the announcement of this decision comes

SOME OLD TRADE TRICKS.

Cheating in trade is no new thing. It
was practiced in the fourteenth century
as we'll as in the nineteenth. Our town
records contain many cases of summary
jurisdiction in matters affecting the
price, weight and quality of food, cloth
ing and other things.
I Gull few from the archives Of the
city of/London. In 134S proceedings were
taken against butcher for selling pu-
trid meat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen. It was deceit
full and dishonest; dangerous to the pub
lie health; it brought scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, corporation, and
all the Inhabitants of the city that a
Londoner should behave so. After the
investigation he was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with his bad
meat carried in front of him, to the pill
Tory in Cornhill, and while he stood
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
was burned under his nose.
It Is we'll known that the pillory was
an instrument in which the culprit was
fixed, incapable of movement, exposed to
the contempt of the people The offense
of the culprit was always publicly pro-
claimed. and, according to the views of
the spectators. the punishment might be
severe or otherwise. If they disliked the
offense of the offender their contempt
form of rotten eggs and dead cats, and
the trader would make closer acquaint-
ance with his own wares, both raw and
cooked, than he might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted of selling un-
sound and unwhOlesome red wine, was
sentenced to drink a draught of the same
stuff which he sold to the common peo-
pie, the remainder being poured on his
head, and compelled to forswear the call
ing of vintner in the city of London
forever. unless he could obtain the favor
of the king. A note on the record states
that he was readmitted five years later
About the same time we find woman
charged with selling ale in a short meas
ure quart pot, the bottom Of which she
had thickened with pitch and covered
with rosemary, to look like bush in the
sight of her customers. 1t was common
practice to put some sort of evergreen
leaves in the bottom of tankards-hence
the proverb, Good wine needs no bush. -
Her sentence was to stand in the thew
or female pillory, with half of the pot
attached to it. AS far as possible, the
cause of the offense was always exhib-
tied along with the person punished
Severe punishment was melted out for
endeavoring to raise the standard mar
ket price of corn and other articles. In
1347 a merchant was imprisoned for AZ
days for enhancing the price of his own
property. He secretly employed man
to bring certain Of his own (the mer-
chant's) wheat to the market, where
upon he bought his own at pence more
per bushel than the market price, of
course taking care to make the same
we'll known, forgetting, however, to state
what he knew about the seller.

The same good friend of the REPRE-.
SENTATIVE, who furnished the pre-
miums previously awarded, being not
weary in we'll doing, but being moved
by an earnest desire to extend it's cir
culation, makes another offer. viz:

used in paying for papers to be sent to

Now send in orders for these splen-
did eggs. Our friend gets nothing for
them; indeed, is glad to give them in

hint guarantee that the eggs will
be securely and carefully packed, and
that they are from as fine barred

him to abandon tho people on the burn

We noticed day or two ago that Con.

ously in regard TO tho debt question and
had made positive charges connecting
him with the agitation or attempt to
consider the matter. We were certain
that Mr.. Elkin, had nothing TO do with
tho matter and the following statement
sent from hiu homo should set that story
at rest:

Ind any interest in tho case, or that

Mr.. Elkins further stated that the
question was new one to him aud that
he had never given 1t any confederation
whatever. He also expressed great sur.
prise that n member Of Congress should
make such a statement without know.
