together Obviated A party may start
out now to accomplish great reform
and, before it succeeds, the generations
have changed and the people become ac-

imagine them natural and good enough.
Besides, let us consider the danger that
might follow the corruption of a re-
form party after it gains power. The
people in such contingency would be
SO thoroughly disguised that they would
lose confidence in our institutions, and.
desiring to produce this loss of conf
dence, the money power and the enc

heaven and earth in the effort to con-

A change of system, such as will ef-
fectually handicap corrupt methods, Is
our hope and the referendum" is The
only system that can gain the conf
dence of the people.
This, in a word, is SYSTEM OF legls-
lation where every law OF importance
must be ratified by popular vote, ana
where the people may force vote by
petition.
Switzerland has been under this sys-
tenn for so years and the most happy re-
suits have followed.
This is a forward step in popular
government and places all legislation
in the hands Of the people. 1t is the
ultimatum of Republican institutions
and under it there is no place for the
lobbyist.
Not only this, but the. greatest benefit
: to arise from it is that it will force the
masses of the people to take an inter-
est in the affairs of their country, and
when this occurs, we will be on safe
ground.

was shed. The invasion was for the pur-
pose of inducing the men at work in the
mine there to cease and join the strike.
The sheriff will increase his force of dep

to leave the town or there will be a con-
f1ict.
Tonight the strikers are in possession OF
the town, and Sheriff Randle has mustered
his handful of men at the coal company S
shaft, which, he says, he will protect at
ali hazards. The town authorities say they
are utterly powerless. the strikers can
do as they wish. The strikers appointed a

The work done at the Nashville Ma
tional Peoples party conference was
more far-reaching in it's effect upon all
political parties in this country than
any conference or convention ever held
since the conference at Omaha in 1882.
It put machinery in motion which
will make the Peoples party the only
freeman's party in the United States.
Heretofore our principles led in one
direction, while our party machinery
forced us to travel in an opposite di-
rection. BY the application of the ini-
tiative and referendum it's party ma
chinery and party principles will be in
accord.
Every patriot should read the pro-
ceedings of the Nashville conference
and carefully investigate the workings
Of the initiative and referendum. The
Mercury will devote much Of it's space
to this end. We therefore appeal to
every patriot to aid i'm spreading its
circulation. Southern Mercury.

more, A.. M. Goddard for plaintiff,
F.. +. Beane for defendant. This is an
action on account annexed to writ to
recover for transportation of defend
ants daughter to and from school lao
days at 80 cents a day, amounting to
SAC, and also for an additional item of
SIS cash loaned by plaintiff to defend
ant.
The plaintiff says that during the
year 1893 he taught the school at Read
field Corner, and daughter of the de-
PENDANT taught as an assistant in the
same school. All the parties lived in
Fayette, about three miles from the
school, the plaintiff and Miss White
more going to their school by team
each day, returning home at night.
The plaintiff claims that he had a
contract with the defendant to trans
port the daughter to and from the
school, by which the defendant was to
furnish horse half of the time, but
that he did not furnish horse as he
agreed, and therefore the item for
transportation is sued for.
With regard to the $25 item, the plain
tiff was treasurer and the defendant
selectman o. the town of Fayette in
1898 and the plaintiff claims that the
defendant obtained of him $25 to be ex-
pended for the town, giving receipt,
which plaintiff produced in court. and
promising to get an order on the treas
urer as a voucher. but that he never
did so and plaintiff had obtained no
allowance of it by the town.
z The defendant denies that he ever
contracted for the transportation of his
daughter, and says 1t was regarded by
the parties as gratuity, ana that he
had performed work in his blacksmith
shop for plain.lAl which was given as
a gratuity in consideration of the
kindness of plaintiff.
He admits that he obtained $25 OF
plaintiff, but he produced a town order
of $3.50, marked paid by the plaintiff
which he claims embraces the $25. and
which plaintiff had allowed him by the
town on settlement.

This concluded the list of cases for
trial, and the jury was finally excused.
