The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1895-09-26

Here is q good one on Bob Taylor.
[ was among the guests at his dinner
recently, when he was in a happy
mood and giving most ludicrous de-
scription of his unspeakabls verdancy
when boy. He had never been out
Of Happy Valley until he was nine
years old and had never owned a hat
nor known the need of footgear. 1t
was decided at last to introduce Bob
to the world and he started out behind
Aunt Kate, on old Bill, to mingle with
the maddening crowd and see the
sights at Jonesb1ro, twelve miles off.
He had Feen pictures Of minarets, pa.
godas, Corinthian columns and glitter
ing domes in the geography, and bis
young Imagination had "visions and
dreams" OF the gorgeous and fearful
beauties OF Jonesboro. He oraned his
neck and strained his eyes to catch
the first glimpse, plying Aunt Kate
with impatient questions. At last,
turning hill, Aunt Kate announced
that Jonesboro was in sight. He
could see nothing except little bunch
Of houses in the distance, and turning
disappaintedlg TO Aunt Kate, begged
her to point it out
Don't you see the spire?" she
asked.
Bob acrAped the entire perspective

Our Forum.

Il K&& N - h
Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In. the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most Of them could be condensed into
600 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after !. the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one
side of the paper only. II written on
both sides they will not be printed un-
der any circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
gether. A plainly~written letter con-
forming to these rules will stand by-far
the best chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations
we admit the widest liberty Of thought
and expression upon the part of our
correspondents, while we do not hold
ourselves responsible for any views
which may be put forth.
The Forum. as it's name implies, is a
sort Of debating school, for the discus
sion Of the important questions OF the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to
keep clear of the shoreless and bottom
less sea of religious debate. LED.

To the Editor:
Dear Sir-Enclosed please fine 81 to
pay for another years subscription to the
Representative" It is only too bad that
it is not published once a day, instead Of
once a week. When I return home from
a weary day Of business and find "The
Representative" among my mail, it has
the effect that a sympathizing friend has,
who assists one In his troubles.
It has been said that a press reporter
approached the great Gen. Won Moltke,
of Germany, one day, and asked him to
what he attributed his long life, and
health, and he briefly answered: To Gods
grace and a temperate living, and such
is and must be the case with our great
and noble leader, Mr.. Donnelly, other
wise he would smother under the heaps
Of abuse and filth thrown at him by the
enemy; but We build monuments on the
graves Of men, that our fathers stoned,
and for that reason we may put the
equation thus: The truth and business of
Mr.. Donne1ly's cause Is in a direct ratio
with the amount of abuse and malice of
the old party press. Yours ever for re-
form and progress

To the Editor:
You are mistaken! There are not nine
judges Of the supreme court who de-
fend the thefts. There were four justices
holding to their oath and to Justice
Harlan, Brown, Jackson and White. The
chief traitor is Judas Fuller. It is said
when you throw a stone among a pack of
dogs the one who is hit squeals."
Judas Field wa hit by Carter. He
showed that he was the tool par excellence
Of the thieves. Poor fool. He thought he
could stop the righteous war of the down
trodden against the. oppressors. When q
spring is damned in one place, 1t bubbles
oft in another. Are Judas Gray and
Judas Brown both railroad attorneys?
Judas Shiras holds the ribbon for being
converted from the side Of justice to the
side Of the thieves. Will he know enough
to get q rope and hang himself. II not, the
next Coxeyite campaign may learn a
quartette how to dance on nothing. 1787.

A STRONG LETTER

THE SENTIMENT IN MONTANA
STAND BY THE OMAHA PLATFORM,
To the Editor:
The proposition that Is now made, that
the Populists, in order to secure the free
coinage of silver at a ratio of Is to l..
should desert their organization and Join
the bi-metallists, seems to me a very fool
ish one, and ought not to require any
great deliberation before 1t is rejected.
While the silver question is one of great
moment, and especially in Montana with
u hundreds Of silver mines neglected
and abandoned, yet we deem that question
secondary to that of our government being
emancipated from the control of the bank
ers of Wall street and Lombard street.
1t Is evident that either the govern
ment must control the issuing of money
or the issuers of money will control the
government.
The bankers and corporations now ap-
pear to have complete control Of three
departments Of our country, and people
have only the shadow left, in the shape
Of the ballot, and that controlled by the
bosses!
If the friends Of financial reform can
be kept from uniting their forces, by any
such scheme as ''bi-metallism," then the
united bands of Shylocks, will be able to
win the fight of 1896, and the reformers
will be totally disorganized and before
another presidential election occurs, the
bankers and corporations will devise some
scheme whereby to rivet the letters so
firmly Upon the limbs Of the people, that
their struggles will be In vain. There is
now nothing to hinder the injunction in
the hands Of a Jeffreys from being in
definitely extended so as to deprive us Of
the liberty Of the press and free speech.
Had the banking business been in the
hands Of the government during the past
year, and the laborer's savings been de-
posted in the treasury, there would have
no more borrowing from the
Rothschilds, and the interest that now
for years to come that will go out Of our
country would have remained to benefit
our 0wn people.
Let the Peoples Party stand to their
principles and fight for divorce between
our government and the corporations, and
in the end we shall win the battle.

Annandale, Mimi, June 8.

AN OLD FRIEND WORKS FOR THE
REPRESENTATIVE AND GIVES SOME
ADVICE TO THE PEOPLE.
To the Editor:
The Representative is now n Of the
ablest and best political papers in the
land-loyal and true as ever to the inter-
ests Of common people. It is a good safe
educator and should be heartily sup
ported by every Populist in Minnesota
who reads English. It pains me to find
some Of u people taking the Tribune or
Journal or Pioneer Press and 10 Populist
paper. You never find q gold bug TAX
ing a Populist paper, and if we
do not sustain vi own press
we deny the faith, and we are
worse than infldels. The campaign for
1896 is fairly we'll opened already, and 1t
behooves us to stand by every one Of our
guns. The advance guard of our army
are already holding councils, not of war
but Of peace They wan to force the sure
way of restoring to u people the old
and tried system Of finance under which
the o as we'll as the rich prospered
as no other nation ever prospered. Some
times 1t appears to me that the only way
to sure success against plutOcracy next
year is to equip vi forces with the sim
pie badge ZIG toll" taking care that the
records Of our nominees for Office are
honest and consistent with this idea.
The Republican party won It's first
victory on the one idea that it opposed
the extension Of slavery. Cannot the
common people Of America win another
victory upon the simple issue of oppos-
ing the further extension OF financial
slavery as contemplated and admins
tered under a gold standard. Can VIZ not
trust u peoples interests in the hands
Of men who have won a battle against
plutocracy under the war cry Of Is to /?
II We think so, let us be kind to each
other; let us be thoughtful Of those
whom we would welcome as comrades
In the fight and let US implore the Sod
Of battles to unite the hearts of the pa
triotic in ell parties to rescue this repub-
lie once more from the thraldom of
Great Britain. B. A. PARTRIDGE.

The best way to get a king in Amer

enty-six per cent of the population would

don't see that much now. This vote will
sell your land for taxes. Monopolies
