THE coRN's RED EAR.

The sun goes down behind the town,
And the night draws slowly near,
Old and fOrlOrn, 1 husk my corn,
And I find the bright red ear.
And back to me comes the husking bee.
When 1 was the buck Of all blades,
With the pride Of a peer when found the red
ear,
And took my choice Of the maids.
Oh, then was the day when life went gay, -
With a song and laugh and glance;
And the old brown fiddle sang Down the
middle"
When led Sallie to dance.
There was never fear, nor frOwn nor a tear,
In that time Of hope and bliss,
In the golden year when found a red ear
That gave ne Sally to kiss.
She thought 1t was play, and she tripped away;
But she rode home By my side;
And up and said that, living OF dead,
I'd have no other for bride.
Alas and alacki They can never come back,
Those days that we're all our own;
For Sally now sleeps where the willow tree
Wseps,
And husk the corn-alone.

This is called ian off year" But in
fact there are no "Of years" Every
success at the polls strengthens the
successful party, but every defeat
weakens it. In an of year there is an
alignment Of forces for work in the
year following, and, for good work in
a more important election This IS
the case at the present time. Next
year there is a presidential election.
In this state, state officers, members
of the legislature, congressman and a
United States senator are to be elect
ed, besides other officers. This fall it
is a reconnaissance preparatory to the
battle royal of 1900. If in the prelim-
mary engagement you kill your own
skirmishers and turn your guns upon
your allies, what can you expect? De-
feat of course. Do you wish to sue
coed then? If so, stand by your party
and your principles now.

TIE CAUSE OF GOOD TINES

Last weeks News had a long article
headed, "What Do They Promise You, :"
meaning, of course, the peoples party.
His inference is, they promise you
nothing.
Then he says that the republican
party promised you good times and
they have given it to you. Suppose it
is admitted that times are good, but
what IS the cause? There is a great diff
ference between cause and cOinciden-
&c, you know. The immense amount
Of money paid out in the war with the
Spanish, and, later with Flllipinos, is
the cause of the apparent good times.
This unusual outlay has increased
the per capita of money in circulation
from S23 to $50. Now multiply 1900
900 pOuIation by s., and you will have
the enormous sum of s525,OOO,OOO. 1t
must not be forgotten that more than
One-half of this sum was raised on a
bond issue and the people must pay at
some future time both principal and
interest. The balance has been raised
by internal revenue taxation.
Now this increase of the money vol
ume causing good times is just what
populists have always declared, and
they have advocated the increase of
the money volume to $50 per capita,
not by taxation OF a bond issue, but
by an issue Of United States treasury
notes. This extra outlay is the cause
Of good times and proves the pOpulist
contention.
Then the News says you get good
prices for cattle because the republi-
can party repealed the free trade laws
on importation of cattle. Now the fact
is that, excepting cattle imported for
breeding purposes, there has always
been a duty on cattle. The Wilson
bill had 20 per cent ad vaIorem duty
on cattle over one year old; and the
Dingley bill is only 2T1Z per cent, ~
per cent increase.
The principal source Of importation
is from Mexico. Young cattle are i'm
ported and grszed for a year or so in
Texas, and other states and territories,
they are then sold as stoekers and
feeders and are fattened in Kansas and
other western states.
For q number Of years there has
been g scarcity Of cattle in this coun-
try. The United States is about TO-
100000 cattle short as compared with
an average Of former years. Scarcity
Of prime cattle has made them dear
and that is the cause Of the high price
Of cattle and not legislation by the
republican party.
The News man takes the people for
fools. Every well informed stock
man knows that in late years western
ranges have been swept by winter
storms that have destroyed thousands
Of cattle; that on the ranges OF Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and California
many more thousands have persisted Of
thirst and hunger in times Of exces-
sive drOuth that, in some instances,
has lasted two or three years.
But it is the special mission Of such

Majority rule is one of the fOUnda-
ton principles of our form Of govern
ment. 1t is also the basic principle of
political action and organization. That
minorities have the right of dissent,
protest and withdrawal no one can
deny. But harmony Of action would
call for fOrbearance and cooperation
where no great principle was at stake.
In the coming election every man viii
vote as he pleases, but if he wishes
success of party principles more than
that of particular candidates, he will
subordinate his wishes to that OF the
majority if it represents his political
convictions Principles are eternal and
infsIliabIe, but men are mortal and fall
liable. He that anchors to principle,
anchors to a rock. Stand up for prin-
ciple with your suffrage at the polls.

OUT OF TIE EELIGHTEEIEG BUSINESS.

OUT OF TIE EELIGHTEEIEG BUSINESS
The high church theory is, "The
church came down from above" The
high government theory is, "The state
came down from above" Both the
high church and high state theory is
monarchical or imperiaIistic- Hence
you viii always find the high church
man a monarchist. On the other hand
the dissenter, the Puritan, the protest
ant, is always in favor of democratic
(pOpular) government as against the
doctrine Of the "divine right Of kings"
The dissenting sects held the church
is a congregation Of faithful men where
the pure word Of God is preached and
the sacraments are administered &C
cOrding to Christ's ordinance" The Op-
posite theory is held by the church
imperialists. Their theory is "the
church is an organization by divine
authority derived by apostolic success
sion from st. Peter to sghOm Christ
gave the keys Of the kingdom of
heaven"
It's interesting to trace the influence
of religious thought and conviction in
shaping forms Of human government.
Wherever men have shaken of the
CALLING chains Of ecclesiastical tyranny
they have established popular forms of
government, as in France, Mexico and
and South American republics. And
though they allow the old religion to
remain, they have carried their ideas
Of government far IN advance Of that
of the church.
There is a golden mean between ex-
tTemes as to both church and state.
When Christ said 'upOn this rock I
will build my church and the gates Of
hell shall not prevail against it, he
referred to Peters confession Of faith,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God" 1t was a basic truth, not
a man upon which the church was
founded. So with governments. Their
foundation is a principle Of eternal
truth. ave hold these truths to be
self-evident; that all men are created
equal and endowed by their Creator
with certain inaIienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness. That to secure
these rights governments are estab-
lished upon earth deriving their just
powers from. the consent Of the gov
erned."
Now, Mr.. McKinIey's idea is: Il be-
Heve congress will give the Filipinos a
form Of government that will be a
blessing, and that will advance their
maternal interests" His idea is that
governments come down from above,
but the idea of the signers of the de-
claratiOn Of independence is that gov
ernments come up from below. Which
is more in keeping with the genius of
our institutions?
No one can estimate the influence of
that immortal document, the declar-
alton Of independence, upon the strug-
Cling nations Of the earth. Bartholdi's
statue, Liberty Enlightening the World
is a Colossus in bronze shadOwing
forth this colossal influence. If this
nation is to adopt a mOnarchial col
oniaI policy, better take down the
statute, send it back to France, and set
up one Of George III in its place, and
inform all concerned that we have
gone out of the enlightening business.

ed the candidates on the opposition

candidates. On the other hand the
opposition has carried on a guerrilla

TENTH ORDERED
TO CUBA.
Leaves For Santiago Within Two
Weeks 70 Replace the Volen-
teers.
San Antonio Express, Sth.

San Antonio Express, 6th.
The Tenth Cavalry is destined to
leaves San Antonio before the
Sixth Infantry. A telegram was
received from tire War Department
| yesterday directing that six troops,
the band and headquarters of the
Tenth go to Santiago, Cuba, and
directing its departure from here
within the next two weeks. The
departure Of the Tenth causes re-
grets from many of the people of
this city. It's officers have made
many warm friends while here and
It's men have conducted themselves
in a very creditable man. u.
The receipt Of the order created
CONSERVATION and SORROW among
the families of the officers and sol
diers of the Tenth when It's con-
tents became known to tEen.
Most Of the officers Will leave their
families behind, not caring to take
them to the deadly Cuban climate
at the threshold of its worst, the
rainy, season.
The Tenth is sent to relieve the
volunteers who are being brought
back for disbandment. The order
has rot been great surprise to
some of the officers, who while
they have not expressed such opin-
ion, have been looking for such an
order as a logical sequence to the
removal of the volunteers from
Cuba, knowing that the latter
would have to be replaced and
that other commands were under
orders for Oriental service.
Should the order sending the
Sixth to the Philippines be carried
out after the Tenth goes, it viii
leave the military post here with
but small sqnad of soldiers, and
the Mexican frontier will be entire
y urgarrisoned.
