THE Blue CHURCH.
Initiation of a star Candidate Inst
Evening.


The Ancient and Honorable Order of
the Blue Church met in grand con-
clave al the G. A. R. hall last evening
with good attendance of the breth-
rem. The occasion was not an ordinary
one, as a candidate bold enough to
subject himself TO the dangerous and
aweinspiring ordeals of initiation ac-
cording to the ritual and time-honored
rites of the order, had made applica-
ton for admission to the mystic
brotherhood. The high moguls were
present, arrayed in their gorgeous at
tire, and the brothers in good standing
were out in full force, and on the tin
toe of expectancy, for it was a great
occasion. The members had been
looking for a candidate for MANY
months, possessing a thinking appar-
atus of the calibre necessary to con-
stitude a good candidate, and the
one they had last night, in the par
lance of the streets, was a daisy"
He took the three degrees-ace high
deuce high and tray high-with a per
Sistence, fortitude and absence of
tumble" that was remarkable. He
was conducted into the hall properly
for the ceremonies. and with
JOSH OdNlS as fora nigh eXecutiOner
it was no ordinary tests to which he
was put.
The dangers and difficulties which
he heroically passed through in those
few hours If written out in extenso
would make respectable-sized vol
ume. He emerged successfully and nm
scathed from them all and is now a
full-fedged member of the Rl,1e
Church; and in addition to the other
great advantages accruing therefrorn
is the holder of life insurance policy
for $4,000 payable 100 years after
death. if he calls for it. The candidate
is well satisfied, and so is everybody
else.

And the hay. may, daisy, dreaming

Like a mystic land enchanted-like a par

Blue smoke frG-l happy nuts
\ rain of ripened nuts
And far Ger meadows ringing,
sweet sounds as of woman singing
Comm through the rye

And then the faint, uncertain, silver tenor

That summons all the winds to prayer
in many a clustered dell:
And then-a thruShe's music from groves

The wild note of the hooking bird-and

Blue smoke from happy huts-
A rain Of ripened nuts;
And far, Ger golden meadows ringing,
Sweet sounds as of a woman singing

The Democratic party of Arkansas. in

party and declares as follows
We favor bimetallsm. and to that end
we insist upon the free and unlimited
coinage Of both silver and gold, at the
ratio of 10 to |, as money of final redenlp-
ton, with equal legal tender powers, in
dependent OF the action of any other ma
ton.
We are opposed to the issue of interest
bearing bonds for any purpose in time OF
peace.
we demand that the government shall
not surrender. but shall always exercise
its lawful option to redeem its obligations
in either gold or silver as may be most
convenient.
We demand tie repeal of the present
laws dscrediting the silver money of the
nation and legalizing private contracts pay
able in gold alone.
We are opposed 10 the national banking
system. and favor only the money of the
constitution; aid we believe that the
power and duty of the government TO fur
nish circulating medium should not be
delegated to any private corporation
We favor TIE collection of an income tax
as part OF the revenue OF the general gov
eminent, and demand the adoption of such
constitutional amendments as may be nee
essary to authorize the same.
We reaffirpl the oft-repeated declara-
ton of the Democratic party IN favor of a
tariff for revenue only.
We are in favor of the encouragement
and maintenance of the free common
school system III this state.
We endorse the purpose of the ''good
roads convection held in Little Rock, in
February las and the efforts being put
forth by its committee for the permanent
improvement of the highways.
Railroads are public highways, and
the interest of the people demand a con-
slant supervision of their management.
TO this end we favor the immediate crea-
ton OF a railroad commission and the
submission TO the people of such an
amendment to the constitution as may
be necessary to remove all restrictions on
legislation on this subiet.

A contemporary paraphrases thusly
Behold the tramp. lie is a man of
much hair and few clothes. He cometh
into town, from where no man know
eth and when he departs he leaveth no
word behind, He passeth his days in
slumber and his nights on the break
beam of a freight car, and his days in
one place are few. When he approach
eth "A town he smelleth the beer from
afar off and the hand outs. lie rush
eth the can with aIacrity, but the sight
of the wood pile maketh him weary.
He careth not for meat, but his thirst
for beer is like unto raging fire. lie
taketh to beer as the infant taketb to
milk, but the sight of water maketh
him sick at the stomach. He passeth
over the face of the earth with no
thought of the morrow. The place of
his birth is unknown to man, likewise
the place of his death. For who hath
seen dead tramp"
