WRETCHEDNESS IN ENGLAND.

We clip this from Kier Hardie's
Glasgow paper:
A woman named Poole, the wife of
a shoe hand at Leices ter, has died
from starvation. Her husba nd, to
whom she was affectiOnately attach
ed, had been away from the town in
search Of work, and had sent her 3s
81. last week, with which she paid
the rent. She was found sitting
helpless In the house, beyond m odical
aid, and about her we're gathe red her
TOUR little children. who appeared to
be we'll kept. The mother had given
them all the food she had, but there
was no fuel and nothing to eat left in
the house."
And this is the wealthiest country
in the world. We suppose it would be
'paternalism" for the government to
Interfere to prevent such tragedies;
but II carter whips his horse dozen
rich gentlemen rush in to have him
arrested.
Hardie's paper adds:
md here is an extract from priv
ate letter, only withholding the
names:
Every day there is some thing worse
than the day before to learn of, till
your heart grows sick and life be-
comes almost unbearable If only for
peace sake. my wife and l feel we
must do something more than we
have yet bee able to do. and the one

In market or in mill;
Wild women with no rights but sin,

From Africa a tortured cry.

ANOTHER NEW PARTY VOICES THE
GENERAL Discomfort WITH THE
OLD PARTIES.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 1S.-No less than
10000 signatures of reformerS, human
itarians and philanthropisvs scattered
over the country, have been sffixed to
the call for a general conference, pri-
marily for the abolition or suppression
# the drink traffic, but in reality, as
tine wording Of the cal indicates, to
bring into existence new national
party. The convention will open in
this city on the second Tuesday of
March next. The call reads thus:
Recognizing Almighty e, d as the
author Of civil government, and equal
justice to all, and the Bible the stand
ard to which all human enactments
s.iould conform, and that all our peO-
pie are entitled to equal rights with
cut respect to race, color or sex, we
hereby unite in calling d conference
Of all persons who will Join in a polit-
ical party for the abolition of the
drink tiic in the United States, and
for such other moral, econom c. fnan-
cial and industrial rcf,r.us as are
needed in the country"
This movement grows out of con-
ference held on Staten l land, N. Y,
in July last, which was participated
In by persons high in the councils #
the PApulist, Prohibition and other
reform parties, the object being to
consider ways and means Of effectinp

THE TEXAS SITUATION.
DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE THE BIG
STATE.

A JOURNALIST WHO FEARS THE
DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE THE BIG
STATE.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch says:
A. T. Wilson, one of the chiefs in the
service of the Galveston-Dallas News, the
most potential factors in the journalism
of Texas, and himself stanch Democrat
brings startling political news from the
Lone Star State, which for twenty years
has been the Gibralter of Democracy. Mr.
Wilson is a man of broad vision and
sound judgment. He accompanied Mayor
Holland of Dallas to urge The Populists
to locate their national convention in
that city.
In all seriousness I would not be at all
startled if the Populists should sweep
the field in Texas this year" said Mr..
Wilson to a Post-Dispatch representative.
The growth of their party in my state
when they had reunited Democracy to
face, they polled over 100000 votes. The
Democratic majority was scaled down by
them from more than 100000 to a pitiful
$4,000. 1 haven't the least doubt that
they will poll fully 100000 votes The
total voting strength of Texas is less
than 100000.
THE Republicans are certain to hold
their forces intact, as they always do in
national elections; then granting these
probabilities. I can't see how it IS poss-
IDLE for the Democrats to hold the state.
The Populists, I believe, stand much
better show of winning the electoral vote
of Texas than the Democrats do of saw
ing Missouri judging from what l have
learned Of the conditions in this state
They are going to nominate for Governor
Jerome Kirby Of Dallas, one of the most
powerful lawyers in the state and the
finest campaigner in the South, as shown
by the extremely close race he made
against Congressman John Abbott in the
last campaign. Kirby is even more pop
ular and influential than was the late
Judge Nugent, who made all Of us Demo-
Gratis hold our breath when he ran
against Culberson for Governor"

FEEDING POTATOES.

According to our best authorities
on the subject of feeds, potatoes are
worth about one-fourth as much as
corn for most kinds of stock. For
hogs and poultry they should be cook
ed, but for other stock they must be
fed raw to good advantage. They
should be fed with other kinds of feed
so as to get the best results, and if do
not sell they can be fed and other
valuable stuff held over that will
bring in some money another season.

COMPLIMENTS FROM THE ENEMY

I ne MlnHtdpOIIS JUUTNdI says.
The Farmers Alliance adopted some
very sensible resolutions yesterday. The
idea that they might improve their bust
ness by combining to handle and sell their
own grain and other products is one that
they have entertained for long time and
now they propose, not to have the state
do it, but do it for themselves. They
make a good suggestion with regard to
the state assuming responsibility for land
titles, which could be secured by adopt
ing the Torrens' system, and raise ques-
ton with regard to the apportionment of
public money to common and higher pub
GUS consideration. The Alliance Is talk
ing much more wisely and practically
than it has done at some other times.

Of Sir Hudibras, his passing worth, The
manner how he'd sally'd forth; also about
Bombastes Furloso and the awful fate
which awaited the man who dared TO
displace his boots. WashingtOn's COM
mon sense, and common observation a
well, had taught him that where fam
lilies intermeddled with each other, broils
and quarres followed shaking up all the
contiguous families and tearing the
neighborhood into atoms; and he had
observed too how prosperous and happy
those families and communities were
where each minded it's own business: the
seats at the meeting house were filled
on the Sabbath, and the weekly evening
prayer meeting brought every marriage
able belle and beau to their knees
around the altar; the district school
f1ourished, and entrances exceeded exits;
elections passed without riots: lawsuits
were aliens, and the cry for "arbitra-
ton" never vexed the air. AS with FAM
lilies, so with Observation-Disclosures with
neighborhoods so with states and nations.
1t was very common affair for the
father of his country to advise her sons
and daughters to be content to mind
their own business in dealing with other
nations, and to shun entanglng alliances
with all of them and it was this home
like simplicity which invests this admon-
ition with sacredness almost divine.
This is why we say we do not believe that
Mr.. Cleveland ever read or heard read
this Farewell Epistle: for we are loath
to believe that he even, knowingly, and
while OCCUPYING Washingtons chair would
insult his memory, and cast obloquy and
reproach upon his parting advice to his
fellow citizens, as he has in his Nena-
zuelean raid: in behalf Of a nation Of
negroes and half-breeds, quasi bar bar
ians, who spend half of their time in eat
