country from bimelailism, and to keep
on the road to ruin through gold con-
traction and falling prices.
Let Mr.. Cleveland squirm as much
as he may; the fact remains that he
sod his party to the goldites; that he
betrayed the trust his party had re-
posed in him, and that he knew, when
he aided the election of Mckinley, ex-
actly what the Republican party pro-
posed to do, because they proclaimed it
in their platform. His whining and
skulking now about the bad conduct Of
the Republican party to excuse himself
from a downright act Of treachery and
the fraudulent use of patronage to elect
Mckinley, shows that nothing can sur
pass his treachery and deceit except
his egotism and impudence.
There is one gift which nature has
bestowed Upon the unmitigated calam-
lty who cursed the country with his
presence in the white house for eight
years, and that is the power of utterlng
u~nctuous, ~unmeaning, false and bonn
bast1c platitudes. The following is a
lair example:
Nothing can explain or excuse in
action on the part of those who can
make no compromise with the advo-
Gates of unsound money or who love
thelr country's honor more than SELF
advantage, or who are convinced that
an unstable and unsafe currency inev-
ltaoly bodies the greatest depth OF loss
n misfortune to all the people OF the
land. These should not delude them
selves. The peril they dread is direct
ly impending"
II MY. Cleveland had studied the
truth he would have said that the
peril they dread has been inflicted
upon the country for the last twenty
years ny a conspiracy of bad men VINO
stopped the coinage of silver, and
thereby cut off half the money supply,
doubled the value of bonded indebted
ness, reduced the value of property n
services one-half, and created uni
Versal misery in the country. IT there
is any example of bad money since GOO
made the world, it is the gold money
OF the present day. No calamity can
be named which the want of money
can infict which the country does not
now suffer by Cleveland's sound
money" His attempt to make the
country believe that anybody wants a
more villainous kind Of money than we
now have, is about as cheeky as it is
Tor him to plead the baby act for vot-
ing the Republican ticket. He knows
the sound money he advocates is the
most villainous swindle Of all the ages,
II he knew that the Republican party
was a party of contraction when ne
voted the ticket, as we'll as he now
does. We beg pardon for having given
this much space to the corpulent relic
who is now politically dead; but mas
much as the papers print his trash, we
feel justified in calling attention to the
individual, who is either a fool or
thinks the American people are fools,
or he would keep out Of sight until MS
fragrant offenses were forgotten.

Ex-senator Sawyer and C. P. Hunt
lngton, two m%illionaires, state that they
know of two ways to get rich, one being
to go to Africa and buy ivory and the
other to go south and buy pine lands.
They seem to be under the impression
that everybody has sufficient means to
do this, an error hal many rich men
make. You can't buy ivory in Africa
on wind.

A Populist Legi ture.

So now it is acknowledged that the
last legislature passed no really harm
full" laws. That, of itself, is a good
record for any legislature of any state.
But when we consider the railroad law,
the state and county depository laws,
the election law, the law against trusts
and combines, the usury law, the act
protecting both mortgagors and mort
gagees, and the acts for local interests,
we find that the legislature not only did
nothing really harmful" but it did
much that "a really good."-Sioux

oUrHERN SENTIMENT.

| I"ChVJ years dSO, d u
Hutchins (known to his friends
as "Jerre") and the editor of the
Denison Herald were reporters
on rival newspapers in Waco,
and of him the Herald says:
Jerre had "horse sense" he
married, quit newspaper work
and begun railroading as a Sec
ton boss. Step by step he
climbed up the ladder, until now
he is vice-president of the Citi-
zens' Street Railway company of
Detroit, Mich. The Free Press
of that city prints a speech de-
ivered by Jerre at a dinner
given in honor of Don M. Dick
inson. The portion of general
interest to Southern people is
here presented:
Kindly reference has been
made to the fact of my Southern
birth. 1t has come to be known
that an American, whether born
in some other land or in some
other part of his own land, is not
on these accounts either an alien
OF a stranger. My forefathers
wore the buff uniform of colonial
soldiers. That uniform is, there
fore my heritage. The mind of
the gentleman, in his illusions to
my birthplace, probably turned
to thoughts of the civil war. The
battles of that great war were
fought long ago. I was too
young to take any part in them;
and yet am of a generation
whose feet already begin to
tread the slope that leads down
to the valley The men of my
mothers family went out to that
war from the hills of Pennsyl-
vania in the blue uniform of I'm
ion soldiers. Some of these men
now sleep at Gettysburg and
Vicksburg. That uniform, there
fore, is also my heritage. My
father wore the gray uniform of
Confederate soldier. My chief
legacy from him is that he wore
that uniform as becomes a SOL
der and a gentleman. He has
long since crossed over to the
other side and now rests under
the shade of the trees with Lee
and Grant, and Sherman and
Pope, and Stonewall Jackson
and thousands of other brave
spirits who respected him in life,
and are now joined with him in
the bonds of common immor-
tally. Just as my own family
have been aligned in these diff
ferent ranks, just so is it in some
measure of kinship with every
American family. have learned
that an American is among his
own people and his own kindred
in whatever part of this great
country his lot may be cast. The
story I shall tell to the genera
ton following me is the same
story that will be told to counts
less generations while time lasts.
1t is the story that the buff and
the blue and the gray are all
alike the heritage of our nations
