Why !?

Who shirks his duty year by year,
And thinks he's paying rather dear,
And at Fraternity will sneer?
The Stay-at-lome.
Who first is sure his teeth to gnash,
And swear the lodge is going to smash,
When called upon to pay his cash?
The Stay-at-hOme.
Who, when he catches cold some day,
Gets on the sick list right away,
And frets until he gets his pay?
The Stay-at-hOme.
Who wriggles like an angle worm,
III asked to serve single term,
And pleads his health Is now intirm?
The Stay-at-hOme.
Who chews the rag with great delight,
And SAYS some folks amt doing right,
But stays away each meeting night?

Ey Sending Letters to Indiana Pro-
nouncing Him a Fraud.
The Times is in receipt of u letter
from the Rev. Sam Bettes, who Is now
fitting out u Cuban expedition in Indi-
ana. Sam threatens to head his mini
ature gun boat for Port Huron and
lombard the town. He says that
several Port Huron ministers have
written letters to different parties in
Indiana branding him as fraud and
a man unworthy to associate with. He
says:
~ have preached the gospel for &c
years and have been lied about more
than any other man on the face of the
earth. The only newspapers which
have treated me fairly have been The
Port Huron Times, the Evening News,
of Detroit, and the Romeo Observer.
The papers in this vicinity have pub
lisked letters from two ministers in
Port Huron, which are intended to do
me great injury. If these gentlemen
are Christians they will stop it at once.
| will send you next week the letters
which they have caused to be publish
ed in several papers in this vicinity"
Mr.. Bettes says that the Evansville
Courier misquoted him when it said
he had been "a sailor on the high seas
for II years. Mr.. Bettes says he sailed
the lakes for one year when IA years
of age, one year when 20 years of age,
and 20 years ago was shipwrecked in
the Gulf of Mexico, and II years ago
made a trip to Georgetown, Jamaica.
The reverend gentleman says that he
is recruiting men to accompany him
to Cuba, and if any Port Huron peo-
pie wish TO enlist in the cause of free
dom they are requested to address him
at Evansville, Indiana.--The Port HUI

The Victims of the DrOu:n.
Monroe Bulletin.l

We travelled from RustOn to Far
mervilIe and from FarmervilIe TO
townsville and the sights we saw
were enough to chill the blood.
Fields o! corn that will not make
"a grain TO the acre. Fields of cot
ton that will not make pound.
And every other crop has failed.
There is no fruit, no vegetables, no
potatoes, no sorghum, no cane, no
peas, no hay and no meat in the
woods. Everything green has been
burnt up by the sun and by forest
fires.
1t has come to a question OF bread
and meat. Starvation, with its
gaunt features is peeping in at Il
doors of white and black.
Not half of the story of want
and restitution has been told. No
language can describe the awful
results OF four months drouth.
We saw hill farmers in Monroe
this week bare footed and bare
headed, These people do not 30
that way from choice. They are
not beggars. They are brave true
men who will suffer and die betO
they will beg. y gentleSen, we
must not let them suffer. They ave
the customers of Mouroe, they have
made us rich in the past and they
will trade with us in the future.
A great calamity has fallen OH them
without their fault. lie will he the
nOblest citizen and the truest friend
of Monroe who is foremost in bring
ing relief to the victims of the
drOuth.
But the calamity is too wide
spread to be entirely relieved by
Monroe. A dozen parishes are in
vOlved. Let our board of trade
call upon the great merchants of
st. Louis and the West. Alum
dant crops have been made there.
Surely they will respond to our
cries of distress. Two years ago
Louisiana and other Southern
States carried generous relief to
the victims of the drouth in Ne.
braska. Now it is our time to suf-
fer.
o gentleman, do not try to con-
ceal the facts. A famine as cruel
as the potato famine IN Ireland
threatens our hills. Our nation re-
lieved the Irish sufferers, shall we
let our own people suffer for bread
Never! We appeal to all who
have spark of humanity to come
to the relief OF North Louisiana.

You Cringing Slaves.
For the Coming Nation.l

Come, you thcughtIesS. brainless
voters,
There's 4 nice bait set for YOU:
Shut your eyes and with mouth open
Go like dogs back 10 your spew.
Go i'll rags, and in your tatters,
Lick the plutOcrat'S vile feet;
Go and vote you Bringing towards,
Poverty has grown so sweet.
Slaves 10 party-even treason
Does not make you hesitate;
Blind to ev'ry sense and reason,
Go again and lick the bait.
Vote for men who tramp You under,
Call your poverty disgrace;
Go and kneel down to the tyrantS,
Let them tramp your bringing face
Vote for men who hog up millions
No more pride in you remains.
Why, indeed, did the Almighty
Give you such thing rs brains ?
Better stuff your heads with saw
dust,
Let your thoughtless craniums
shrink,
Place upon you tails of monkeys,
For you are too dumb to think.
Go and vote with Rockefeller,
Carnegie, and plutOcratS
They who call your wives "the vul-
gar"
They who call your children
"brats,"
GO and vote, You cringing towards,
AS You masters tell You to;
Honest men have grown Disguised
With such thoughtless fools as
you.

1t is always the privilege of an ingeni-

To go no further back than 1860, it can

produced a different result in every cleo

more than 25.000 in New York alone
would have defeated Mr.. Lincoln. In

The change in the vote cast by the
two parties in these states four years
ago and this year is apparent. Every
state indicates Republican increase.
In 1892 there was a difference in the
total Harrison and Cleveland vote of
only about 5000 in favor of the former.
But this year the Republican vote is
1874. 2SS larger than the Democratic
vote. The Democratic vote in these
% states decreased III, 592 in four years
while the Republican vote increased
1427.251 in the same time. Notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Bryan
gained the vote of the Populists his
vote fell more than 100000 below the
Democratic vote of 1892 and his can
didacy aided in increasing the Republic
can vote nearly 100000.
The vote in these states should be an
emphatic answer to the threat that the
agitation for the free coinage of silver
will be kept up. They contain nearly
two-thirds of the population of the
country and much more than that pro-
portion of it's wealth. When they give
a majority of more than 100000
