The POpulists Future.

"What will the Populists
dor" is one of the interest
ing questions growing out
of the recent alliance cam
.paign. An lntimation of
the answer as to a part OF
them at least is contained in
the address Of George r.
Washburn Of the, Populist
National Executive sCom-
nittee.
Mr.. Washburn calls upon
the Popullsts to reorganlze
for an independent campaign
on a greenback platform.
His address and the ut
tefances of the leaders con-
ferring in this city en-
phasize the fact that the
Democrats and Populists
were not held together by
an enduring bond. M a n y
Populists revolted against
fusion before election day
and rejoice'l over the defeat
of the Democracy. II h e
bulk of those who clung to
fusion regarded the silver
issue merely as a makeshift
and, as Mr.. Washburn ex.
presses it, IAN entering
wedge" to the main issue of
greenbacks,
Populist members of the
Legislature in this State
went into caucus with the
Dem ,crats and thus sigailied
their intention to act with
the party. 1t is probable
that in this and other States
mauy Democrats WHO had
wandered into Populism will

The Mammoth Spring
Monitor prints the following
from the Iconoclast.
The place to take the
true measure of a man is not
the forum or the field, not
the market place or the amen
corner, but his own hreslde.
There he lays aside his mask
and you may judge whether
he's imp or angel, king or
cur, hero or humbug. l
care not what the world
says about him whether it
crowns him with rays or
pelts him with bad eggs;
/ care never what his repu-
tation or his religion may be.
If his Babies dread his home
coming and his better half
swallows her heart every
time she has to ask him for a
FIVE dollar bill he's a fraud
of the first water, even tho
he prays night and morn TIL
hes black in the face, and
bowls halleluiah t III h e
shakes the eternal hill. But
if his children rush to the
front gate to greet him, and
loves own sunshine illumlnes
the face of his wife when she
hears his football, you may
take it for granted that he's
true gold, for his homes a
heaven, and the humbug
never gets that near the
great white throne OF God.

But certainly all of that
crowd Of political W / | d
steers known as the Middle
the-Roaders will prob
ably get together on a plat
form which will embrace
fat money and all the isms
of the extremists.
AS hard money is a basic
principle of Democracy,
this action on the part of
the Populists must signify
the parting of the ways OF
the late allies and a trl-
angular fight four years

poetry OF farm lite, but
when lie comes to retire to
rest for the night, pa
thence ceases to be a virtue. y
The most inconvenient, un-
comfortable, untidy room on
the premises is set apart
for the boys bedroom, and
in a prolific family for three
to four half-growu boys in
a bed. Did you ever at
tempt to sleep with a half
grown boy? He is the hot
test thing in summer, and
the. coolest thing IN winter,
you eyer came III contact
with. In addition to all
this, the boy has rarely a
decent suit to wear. AS a
rule, the father's1 castaway
clothes are revamped for
the boy. The old hats and
socks are also his heritage.
Everything is done to make
the boy miserable and tough,
and as a rule he is tough.
He would die if he were not
tough.
With such treatment we
need not be surprised if
our dear boys often go
wrong, and leave the farm
the first opportunity, never
to return. No change
could be for the worse,
they argue.
We have always thought
there was a better way to
bring up a boy on the farm.
There ought to be a more
equitable division of labor.
If you insist on the boy
being the maid of all work,
then give him a moneyed
interest in the crops ant
stock. Give him a clean
comfortable bed, with no
80 many occupants, and ;
decent suit now and then
In a word, m a k e hom'
tolerable for him; and my
word for it, he will stay
with the "Old folks a
home longer, and be a bet
ter man, and more usefn
citizen. Give the boys ;
chance while on the farm
in their youth, if you would
keep them there when they
arrive at manhood. -. De

That is the Advice Givell
Arkansas Boys by the
Commissioner of
Agriculture.
Where Men Develop.
Boys Should Have Chance on the
Farm in Their Youth and They
VIII Not Depart in Their
Manhood.

Commissioner OF MINES,
Manufactures and Agrlcul-
ture believes that. the boys
ought to stay on the farm
rather that chase the lgnes
fatui of fame and plethofic
salary in the crowded city.
In his biennial report he
says:
There is something in
natures voice-in the freedom
of the wood and field and
sequestered stream-t h a t
leaves an imprint on those
who have dwelt among them
that is not effaced in after
life, but which tends to
broaden and strengthen the
character that receives its
final mold amid other
scenes and surroundings
Life in the country, on the
farm, begets among those
who are not merely. dull,
senseless. clods of clay
habits of industry, economy,
self-denial, morality, sin,
cerity, sympathy, sturdlness
and honest faith that form
a good foundation for q
worthy life and character
The great majority Of the
successful men of the world
in business, in law, litera
ture, journalism, politics
the pulpit, science, govern
ment and the various helds
of human endeavor-. were
once country boys.
The great statesmen,
orators, teachers, jurlsts
leaders, merchants and
manufacturers, for the most
part, spent their earlier
years in the country, close
to the bosom of nature,
with her manifold voices
and lessons, her subtle
teachings and influences. Nc

may live, or where he may

he may be, the years ne

Gays thus spent, or alto

Much mas Deen SdlQ anu
written On this subject;
tand perhaps, in the main,
by those who have stored
clear of the farm themselves;
or, by those who have
failed to keep their own
boys on the farm.
Every avocation has. its
poetic side. Agriculture has
Ia superabundance Of poetry
to the initiated. Especially
with those who never lhad
any intimate relations
with a "bull-tongue" plow
and a contrary mule in a
stumpy new ground,
We do not hope to say
anything new in this, our
contribution to the literature
On this subject. That more
of our boys ought to refain
on the farm goes witty out
saying. How to SEIZURE
this desirable thing is the
question.
My opinion is, the fault is
not with the boys altoge-
Their. A much larger prapor-
ton of them would reAJeln
on the farm if they ffre
given a chance while there.
At least IS per cent, of the
boys have no inducement to
stay; so they leave, and
resort to all sorts of shifts
to keep off the farm. And,
to be candid, we don't blame
them much. We have k5yn
there, and know whereof we
speak.
To this good hour we
have not forgotten some OF
the things that happened to
us on the farm as a small
boy. "a
the duties of a boy on the
farm. The first thing in
the morning he has to get
up and make a fire, while
every other member of the
household is costly tucked in
bed. Ottener than other
wise there is no wood Or
kindling prepared (the
average farmer is generally
out of wood, with an album
dance in sight.) N e x t.,
bring a bucket of water
from the spring under the
hill; fill up the tea-kettle;
then bring another bucket.
Nov he must go and feed
the stock, milk four or FIVE
cows for a gallon and a half
Of poor milk; then, till
breakfast, his attention is
engaged in getting stove
wood; this must be cut from
we'll seasoned, old fence
rails, or a knotty old log,
snaked up in time past, with
a dull axe, The result is he
never gets enough wood;
besides, he gets in late to
breakfast, and has to pick
over the remnants OF a
frugal meal, unless thee dear
mother has hid away some
thing for the boy. He is
then hurried off to the field
to work by his father, who
takes the best ,plow horse
on the place, and goes to
town, ostensibly to get a
pillow sharpened, and spends
the day.
After t he days work
ought to be over the boy
comes home with every bone
and muscle in his body sore
and tired; has the stock tc
feed, and corn to- shuck fol

1.-The recent notice IN The Post on
Congressman Linney's eloquent appeal
in behalf of a position for Jerry Smith
brings to mind am incident IN the Re
publican district convention in that State
On 1894 that nominated MIR. Kinney for
Congress. The convention was held at
Wilkesboro, N. c., and the contest was
close and exciting between Mr.. Kinney
and e. S. Blackburn, one of the most
brilliant young Republicans of the South.
Nominations Of candidates being IN or
der, country delegate from the little
mountain county of Allegheny, rose ana
simply presented the name of H. =
Blackburn, of Ashe county.
ssThen came Jerry Smith, who present
ed the name of Mr.. Lanney, IN a careful
and well-prepared eulogestic speech. Dur
Ding its delivery, however, Mr. Smith EVIL
IDENTITY depressed from his manuscript,
when he said:

Linney has appeared i'm over one hundred
murder suits, and of all that number
only two of his clients have been hung,
and then returned to his speech and
closed.
..Dur:ng the delivery of Mr. Smith s
speech, the man from Allegheny county
was excited, and great drops of perspir-
at6ou stood ON his forehead. As soon as
Jerry Smith closed, he sprang to the
floor. and without waiting for recognition
s began:
'"Mr. Cheerman, when ] manned our
young man Blackburn from the noun
