The Indian citizen should con-
gratulate himself upon the fact
that the title to his land is not a
subject Of litigation. But no one
can tell how long such will be the
case. The trend is toward a diff
ferent condition.

Popuiist Proposition to Democrats

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., April Elm a very i'm
portant interview with State Auditor
Aver. of the populist state committee,
he gave out officially what the committee
did last night, in addition to calling a
state convention here May 18th. Aver
said: 1T was suggested that, in view
of the similarity of declarations in the
populist and the democratic platforms,
some effort ought to be made to unite
those forces, and the further suggestion
was made that the only open road to the
contamination of such real union would
be the making by the populists of a fair
and honorable proposition to the demo-
Gratis. There was not the slightest OPP
position to this suggestion. We adjourn
ed with the belief that our convention
will formulate to the democratic con-
ventfon a proposition for cooperation,
which could be accepted without any
compromise of dignity on the part of the
democratic convention. My belief is this
proposition will be made in good faith
and our democratic friends may expect
to meet it,"

ty, but was speedily ~recaptured by
Deputy Sheriff Sellers. The prisoner
at the time was in charge Of Deputy

AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE CIR
Giles NOBLE WORK.
A short while ago one Of the energetic
members Of the circle met an old lady,
whose time on earth has nearly been
spent and upon whose head, crowned
with the honored gray hair of maturity,
has rested in the past both sorrow and
poverty.
TIN man greeted the old lady with a
CHEEKY salutation and inquired if she
would again visit the shelter this season.
The old wrinkled face beamed with
genuine delight, as she replied that she
looked Onward TO her visits to the shell
ter from year to year, this being one and
the only bright spot in her life. Moth
ing else had she to look forward to on
the earth.
