School House Work.

School-house work and organiza-
tlon has ever proven the hest and
most efficient of any that has ever
been done in the reform movement.
This was the case with the old
Greenback party, with the Union
Labor party, with the Farmers
Alliance, and with the Wheel with
the Popnlists during the years Of
1891 and 1892.
If this country is ever brought
back to the lines where our fore
fathers left it, and made what its
great founders intended it to be,
it will have to be done by menliv-
ing in the rural districts.
Great cities are hotbetls of ini-
quity and corruption.
The rich become proud, hanghty
and tyrannical while the poor be-
come abject, subdued and servile.
Wealth is enthroned and Liberty
pcrishes.
In the rural districts people are
upon an equal footing. They are
democratic in their business affairs
and socially equal in their neigh
bOrly intercourse. The merchant
and the blacksmith attend the same
church; !; the banker and the car.
penter belong to the same lodge
the lawyer and the farmer attend
the social meetings. The rich and
the poor exchange social visits, re-.
gardless of the style of their homes
or the cut of their coats.
1t is amid such scenes as these
that liberty and independence take
root and flourish.
TITS amid such scenes and sur
roundings that the great reform
party of the United States must be
built. 1t is from the merchants,
lawyers, blacksmiths, farmers, and
workingmen of the small towns
and farming communities that the
recruits must come to reinforce
the great Populist party and car
ry it forth to victory.
School-room organization can
reach them. School house meet
ings can educate them.
A vigorous school-honse cam
paign should be inauguratcd at
once, preparatory to the great
campaign of 1S9S-and the still
greater campaign of 1900.

Antiseptic. Guaranteed to be the
best. Ask for it and be convinced.

" hen | think of tho wrongs and
injustice, the robberies and the
outrages that have been perpetra-
ted upon the unsuspecting people
of the United States, during the
Inst twenty years, it requires all
Of my forbearance and charity not
to wish that Bob lngersoII and
Henry Ward Beecher had not con-
verted the real, genuine old-fash-

If the Populist cause ever tri-
nmphs it will be through patient,
persistent and hard work.
Whenever such work is accom-
plished good results are sure to
follow.
Whenever an earnest and deter
mined Populist takes off his coat
and goes to work he makes con-
VCrts.
One good, live, active and ener-
getlc man in every town in the
United States can rcvolutionize the
country inside Of the next twelve
months. hs.-Farmers Sentinel.

If the people of Louisiana were
half as much afraid Of an epidemic
OF election frauds which always
prevail in the State, as they are of
the yellow fever, and should use
one fourth of the precautionary
measures (now in vogue against
yellow Jack toward stamping out
the aforesaid epidemic of election
fraud, the State at large would be
grateful. Like other epidemics,
the facts in the case are suppressed
until the true situation can no Ion
ger be concealed. !,
