Sherman or Cleveland. Sherman's age i.-> against him and the sentiment against the 3rd term would wori< against Cleveland. Plut >craey worships Cleveland. It not bear to see him leave the white house.

Let no democrat, prohibition or populist for a moment entertain the delusion that the coming legislature will make a fair apportionment. The republican purty is not built that way. They will gerremand this state worse than it has ever been before. Did not Wm. D. Owen declare they would do so, in his speech here in the commencement of his canvass? Scarcely were the returns of the election footed up, than the talk of the election of county superintendent, jn June, com-

menced.’ Several candidates are mentioned. It seems to be pretty generally considered that there is more than one deserving, competent republican school teacher in the county. In this election the Pilot will have no voice and as between candidates no very particular choice. It is thought that Mr. Warren will hardly ask for the fifth term, but will give way for awhile to others; ence the early talk and the many candidates. Senator Peffer attributes to Mr. Cleveland an uncontrollable ambition to become the leader of the republican party. He ~ iy.- that the tariff having beer disposed of for a decade at lea.-i, I ere is no issue between th* ’;< • political parties but the si ver ;i nd currency questions, and ii; >n these th ■ president is just as much a republican as John Sherman or Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley or Tom Jb ed. Mi Peffer believes that before the ■ xt election the people of the •■< ii.try are going io divide on ireference between two ru :us or one as money . and t t.. 4r. Cleveland, by tiie logic o s position, will be tie: nead i ;.-i of the gold bugs. And, *,r <nge as this suggest ion u.; seem, a large number of otl men believe it. Chic.;go Re id.

It should not be so high that it will breed trusts and abuses and not to low to admit foreigh manufacturers in the m irket for competitive goods.” There is a tight now on, in the republican party between wild, crazy McKinley protection and moderate, sensible Medill pro teciion. Which side will win is hard to tell.

Governor AltgeEjD before the Illinois State Grange: “We may talk against combinations as much as we will; they have become established facts in this country. All of the great manufacturing, railroad and commercial interests of this country are controlled by combinations. A corporation is in itself a combination. There is no power under the heavens that can change these conditions. They are the peculiarity of the age, and the only way to prevent these great combinations of capital from oppressing the people is to meet them with a force strong enough to check them. Be as wide awake as they are. If they try to shape legislation, be on the ground and prevent it. If they try to name the federal judges, be on hand and recomyou man,

“I will venture that duiing our entire history no farmers’organization has tried to secure the appointment of a single federal judge, and no farmer ever visited the white house for such a purpose, and yet the interests of the farming classes are greater than that of all the corporations combined. “Again, when concentrated capital sends a man to the legislature or to congress it keeps an ey«e on him, and when he ceases to obey i's wishes it retireshim. The farmers have not yet learned to do that. If they ever learn a lesson in this regard there will not be so many men yvho smile on the farmer at home and then sell him out at Washington or at his state capital.”

Perhaps after some of our esteemed contemporaries have quite finished talking about the “decline of populism,” “the busting of the populist bubble,” and the like, they may have time to note that the people’s party was the one party in the late elections which cast a larger vote than it polled in the United States in 1892. Nearly 2,000,000 populist votes were counted this year, while in 1892, with the stimulus of a presidential election, only 1,041,028 weye cast. Democratic leaders and democratic journals that ignore these iiTficant figures are guilty of i ■ ■■■ most stupendous folly. 1 muot be 2,000,000 popucast in 1896 and a ic president elected, ;iuiis>m’s later gains have , ij .u democratic states. It is the part of wisdom for democrats to face this problem fairly and seek to discover what causes have driven these people’s party voters from the ancient party of the people. The Times has steadily held that were democracy true to its fundamental principles there would be no room for a party of populism. Shall not wise democrats then seek these truths and maintain them, oven though by so doing they break definitely with the small section of the party which has become corrupt by arislo cratic associations.—Chicago Times.

What’s the Difference.

A King or emperor oni.v gets out of the people all ie can wild safety. They hire soldiers to protect them. Monopolists are only getting out, of the people all they can safely. They hirelaw makers and courts to protect them. What is the difference? Our people would tight against a king, but meekly submit to extortion from monopolists and trusts. They vote lor them by voting for parties that have permitted them to come into existence. How foolish them people in Yurrup are to submit to tyrants! The New Charter.

The Fry-Pan and the Fire.

[The Other Side.] As an amused and yet disgusted student of political events, we see, with fancy's eye, a picture which we will try to describe: On the one side we see a brisk fire of coals labeled “republican fire,” and other side a fry-pan labeled “democratic fry-pan.” A fish is seen in the act of jumping out of the fry-pan. In the centre, between the fry-pan and the fire, is a pool of water labeled “Populist, cool water.” Beneath the picture is the inscription, “Will the fish have sense enough to flop into the water? As the Coining* Nation puts it. hard times. The Democrats got into power in 1884 as a result of the hard times” made by the Republicans. The Republicans got into power in 1888 as a result of the “hard times” made by the Democrats. The Democrats got into power in 1892 as a result of the “hard times” made by the Republicans. Are you going to vote the old ticket “just once more,” or find out the real cause of hard times?

Hog Cholera Cure.

1 Editor Journal of Agriculture: ’ I frequently hear of hogs dyi g with cholera. Now, I take it for granted that when a man can do good when it costs nothing and he refuses to do it he certainly is no philanthropist. During the last five years my hogs have taken the cholera four times, and I <have always cured two-thirds of those that were sick, and stopped it on the rest with little trouble and expense. When one is known to be sick with cholera, put the whole herd in a close pen. Get a long neck bottle; put one gill of milk and a half a teaspoonful of pure carbolic acid in it. Let one man catch the hog by the ears ayd set him up between his legs, holding his head up, another man with the bottle in one hand and a short stick in the other as thick as a man’s wrist, put the stick in the animal’s mouth crosswise so that he can not break the bottle in pouring the contents down. Put him out of the pen, for fear \»,u might dose him twice, win h would be dangerous, as the acid is poisonous in targe doses I they are not all well in a we. k repeat the dose. I never had io repeat it. [ never senu, .-> > them, but if confined i <. p ‘ turned them out.

Words [?] low Populists.

Now that the sin ■ m is about blown away, -s i> us to calmly consider - iua n and determine upon our course for the future. With iJ.-mo ,t----cy defeated and Rcpuibieii jm victorious the count\ is neiiher the looser nor the gainer. Ours is to-day the only party in ibis country that is doing battle for the great common people. In the election just held the Popu list pany lias increased its vote a solid million. From the 3rd p..rl,v, we have in 15 of t he states of this umon. within two years, advanced to the 2nd party, we hold the balance o power in the U S. senate, our party newspapers and magazines are *ap dly increasing, our voters are enthusiastic and active, the future for the People’s party is surely bright and full of promise. Where ever we Utrn we find the party ’alive ami growing. No new party in this country ever made half the growth we have in two years. Two millions earnest, honest men in the cause of right, lead by the wisest and purest men of the age are bound to make a change in this country. In our own county we have .every reason to rejoice, for our gain has been, in spite of the most bitter opposition, more than the most sanguine of us could have expected. The election just held shows us that the Populist party has come to stay and to grow, and while a party grow T s, grows so rapidly as ours has, it will do to stand by.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting Batch of News From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 16.1894. The new bond issue, which was officially announced within 24 hours of Secretary Carlisle’s positive statement that no immediate issue of bonds was contemplated, has succeeded the elections as a conversational topic. •• • • In Washington, Secretary Carlisle has a reputation for truthfulness that is not excelled by any man in public life. For that reason it is inferred by many that there is truth in the talk about President Cleveland

having made the arrangements for the bond issue with Wall I street bankers wi'hout consulting Secretary Carlisle, although the president himself has denied that he did. The puzzling thing about that theory is that Secretary Cai lisle should be willing to remain in the cabinet after such a humiliation. It is very positively asserted by some that Secretary Carlisle will resign as soon he completes his annual report to Congress, upon which he is now working. o • e Just why these bonds should be issued at this time is not apparent. The gold reserve is 512,000,000 more than it was several months ago, and although the receipts of the government from customs duties aie less than they were expected to be, many, even among the bond advocates, regard the issue of bonds as premature. It was quite fully proven by the last bond issue that it was merely a pleasing fiction to suppose that the money received from the sale of bonds added that much to the gold reserve fund. Theori*iieally it does, but practically i didn’t. The government requited that gold should be paid for the bonds, and the gold was i.aid, bin the purchase o-e .ends in nan 5 s .nmediately p.esi-'ti d .. .ry notes and got their g<>! 1 oack ihem, and there is no reason '• supposing that purchasers > e present issue of bonds ■A id not do likewise. All these ' n.v> and more will be hoard 'rom its soon as Congress meets, ast':--re lias been no indication of any .change in the marked :uiii i/O'id feeiing which was -mown at the last session.

© ® ® Tin* report of the strike commission which investigated the Chicago railway strikes is beimz very harshly criticized by extremists on the side of belli la -or and capital, but it seems to st rike the masses as a very fair and conservative document, recognizing t e rights of labor to organize for self protection and also its right to demand and get from the corporations recognition of committees from its organizations in all negotiations affecting the welfare of the employes of said corporations. There is, Of course, a wide difference of opinion as to the wisdom 'of accepting the commission’s recommendations, for a permanent strike commission and’ for State boards of arbitration. o © o According to current talk Senator Gorman has advised Senator Ransom to persuade the democratic leaders of North Carolina to resort to trickery to defeat the will of a majority of the voters as recently expressed by the election of a legislature, and Senator Ransom has accepted the advice. The trick is that the governor shall call an extra session of the legislature which expires by limitation Dec. 31, next, and that this legislature shall elect a successor to the late Senator Vance, whose term expires March 3, 1897, and also a successor to Senator Ransom, whose term expires March 3, 1895, he resigning so as to make a vacancy. Such a proceeding would meet the condemnation of conservative men everywhere. During the recent campaign every voter in North Carolina knew that he was to vote for members of a legislature which would have the election of the United States Senators, and those who would attempt £0 gain a temporary benefit by any such trickery as that mentioned would in the end be sure to find it dearly bought. It is not believed in Washington that the governor will give his aid to such a trick. • • • There is a large element on both the republican and democratic sides of the Senate who hate the populists, not as individuals, ljut as - a party, so

much that they would be willinj to do almost anything rathe than to see the populist senator! dictate the organization of the Senate by making acombinatioi with either of the old partie should the republicans fail.-a now seems likely, to secure th< necessary 45 Senators to organ ize the Senate. -There are a present too few Senators ii Washington to say what thii element will do, but it is knowi that a proposition has beei favorably considered by certait republican and democratic Sena tors which provides for a cofii bination of republican am democratic Senators which entirely ignore the populis Senators in the organization o the Senate. Several of tht populist Senators * are now in Washington and they say they have no fears of any combination against them.
