READ THIS ONE, FROM ILLINOIS.


Dear Sir: | am sending club of
ten subscriptions to your paper as
per accompanying list.
I claim to be one of the old guard,
as | was a delegate to the Omaha
convention and helped to nominate
General Weaver and adopt the
Omaha platform, the grandest plat
form ever placed before the Amer
lean people, in my estimation; also
a delegate to the st. Louis conven-
ton in 1896, and helped to nominate
you for Vice-President, and also at
st. Louis at the last Populist conven-
ton where you were nominated for
President. Am II years old and still
swearing by T. E. w. Am farmer
by occupation. Was nominated for
Congress on the Populist ticket in
1892, again in 1894 and in 1898,
and while I have never fully recov-
cred from the financial backset as q
result of these campaigns, | have
lived to see the principles we then
contended for either enacted into law
or in fair way to be so.
In connection with your host Of
friends, I send congratulations on the
outcome of your trial and unite in
the prayer for your continued ability
to wage the peoples warfare.
With best wishes, I am,
Your friend,
I'll. NJ. w. GREER.

IS FROM THE PEOPLE
FROM A Triton FRIEND,

Dear Sir: I have read The Jeff. Of
January with special attention, as
/ do every one. / note how Mr.. A. A.
Smith, the fertilizer man, of Atlanta,
tread Mr.. o. S. Lee. | think you
gave, in January 6 issue of jeff, all
that was coming to Mr.. Smith.
only wish every Protestant would
read just how Smith treated Mr..
Lee, and then 1 wish every true
Protestant would treat Smith just as
he treated Mr.. Lee when they go to
buy their fertilizer. l think it a
shame for Smith to be so insulting to
a gentleman.
In regard to your eXposa1 of the
Catholics, | truly hope that God will
spare you long enough to show their
creed of religion to every nation on
earth. AS you have said and do say
that Catholicism is our important
question.
l was talking to a friend of mine
just day or two ago about you,
and showed him that piece in The
Jeffersonian. He stated that you
ought to be our President. l re-
marked to him that it was a pity
that our Congress, our U. S. Senate
and our President could not be men
like you. l tell you, we need men
there with brain and nerve-men
who will stand for our rights
I think [ can send in a new list of
subscribers before long.
You are gaining ground every
day. If the people will lay down a
little old political grudge against you
and read for information, they all,
except Catholics, will endorse you.
Your friend,
Ga. W. A. DANLEY

Who Is On Trial?

Romanists do queer things, and
the public generally does not seem
to realize that they are queer. Three
or four years ago Thomas E. Watson,
of Thomson, Ca, in a magazine of
which he is editor, published some
extracts from what are said to be
official books Of the Catholic Church.
So incensed were the Catholics at his
doing this that they have brought
suit against him for publishing these
extracts. And the queer part of it
is the ground upon which the suit
is brought. The charge is that of
publishing and sending through the
mails obscene matter contrary to pos
tai laws. Does it not seem strange
indeed that anything published by
even a so-called Christian Church for
use in connection with it's worship
should be too obscene to be allowed
in the mails? 1t may be said that it
is only the Government that is pros
ecuting Mr.. Watson. Suppose this be
true, though there is said to be every
reason to believe that the suit is
instigated by members of the Cath
Ollie Church, the fact remains that
the obscenity of the extracts is the
ground OF the charge.
If Mr.. Watson is convicted of vio-
lating the United States postal laws,
is not the condemnation of the
church much more real? It may
readily be conceived that an editor
might publish something in his mag
azine with only the best motives,
without any intention or even thought
of doing wrong, and in doing so
might technically violate a law,
which in it's very nature cannot be
very definite in it's provisions. But
would any reasonable man suppose
a church would publish anything in.
tended for guidance of either private
members or officials in matters per-
tanning to their religious life which
is too obscene for transmission in
the mails?
The church that does this is the
church that asks PrOtestants, as we'll
as Catholics, to entrust their daugh-
tiers to it's care in their schools with
the promise that they will be given
the best possible training in knoWl-
edge, manners, morals and religion.
Parents, Presbyterian Of
the South.

COTTON BREAKS,
BUT RECEIVERS LOSS
Many Selling Orders by COM
mission Brokers, Cause of De.
cline. Soon Absorbed.

The cotton market sold Off rather
sharply during yesterdays early trad
ing, but offerings soon tapered off and
loss of some Q or 10 points was
partly recovered. with the close steady
at a net decline of only TO points.
October contracts sold at 1888 on the
early break. but rallied to 1895 and
closed at 1898. Trading was moder-
ately active early, but became very
quiet, and there was nothing in the
talk around the floor 10 indicate any
material change of sentiment. The
trade evidently feels that the crop IS
making good progress under prevail
ing weather conditions, but selling on
this factor is restricted by the con-
tinued steadiness of Southern holders
and the uncertainties OF the later
growing season.
Liverpool was lower than due, and
the market here opened barely steady
al a decline of ! 20 5 points. Prom
inent commission house brokers
seemed to have many selling orders
around the ring, and prices broke
sharply after the call. The offerings
were absorbed however, partly by spot
house buying, while there was also
little demand from houses with Liv-
erpool connections. After sales of
about $4,000 bales trading became
very quiet.
Failure of favorable weather ac-
counts to bring in increased offerings
from the South probably promoted
some scattered covering during the
afternoon. while there we're also pre-
dictions that the census report on
supply and distribution this morning
would show great domestic mill &C
tiyity for the month of May. De-
mand did not broaden much. but prices
were very we'll sustained later in the
day and closed within or points OF
the best.
Moderate rains reported in the
South were considered more bene-
fetal than otherwise. and while re-
ports are reaching here OF an unusual
~ small plant in the Southwest it is
felt that the warm and clearer weath-
or now predicted will lead TO rapid
growth. The first bale of the Texas
new crop was sold in Houston at the
end of last week and again in Gal
weston yesterday, but while it is I'M
usually early for the first bale the
fact Of its arrival has created no
fresh sentiment witt reference TO the
maturity Of the regular crop.
Private cables reported a very quiet
market in Liverpool but said there
was no disposition to press cotton on
the market. The volume of spot sales
reported IN the Southern markets
probably helped to Offset more favor
able weather reports The markets as
officially reported were points high er
to sc lower, almost all Of them being
unchanged. Augusta reported sales of
2.495 sales Exports for the day were
1885, bales, making 5,l66,SS8 so far
this season.
