Y., for the amateur championship, Palmer Work and Davenport killed 23 out of 25 birds. Resolutions calling for the revision of football rules to prevent brutality and decrying professionalism in col lege sports were adopted at a meeting of presidents of northwestern universities.

Labor pays t all There 1 !.!, be no trusts in heaven. And yet this man Cleveland is a democrat. No more plutocratic presidents for America. The use of money is all the merchant or laborer wants. Interest robs the poor and keeps the rich in idleness. Groveii and John should take out Americanization papers. Idle land and lack of money, make idle men and soup houses. (fu, what will become of ‘‘parity” under the Baltimore plan. Financial independence means more than free c linage of silver. Attorney-General Olnky has at last discovered the Cook gang.

A “teacher of the people” who works for office, isn’t worth liis wages. If the government don't soon come to the people, they '"'ill go after it. Speculators are neither producers nor consumers—they are destroyers. God has no hired m n. All his employes work for the good of the cause. Men out of employment have been formally invited to join the standing army. Ai.l tie gold and silver in the world wouldn't pay two weeks' board for the people. Yes, a national debt is a blessing—to the bondholders —but a curse to the taxpayers. The new currency scheme is a “jackpot” and plutocracy is dealing for a roval flush.

Now they sing “t'oxey' lies moldcring i i the grave.’’ §0 does liberty, for 1. at matter. A consitmek who is not a producer of something useful is a burden on the community. The great question as to the dumping of silver is where shall America dump hers? Tiie products of * he farm were never cheap when there was plenty of money in. circulation. Senator 'Fill.man of South ( nvolina may prove himself a terror to (.rover and the gold bugs. Anything to destroy the greenbacks :s the demand of the 1 banker.., and intention of congress., Those who get tlu b.*n-.its of government. should pa,, taxes in proportion to vaa.e leceived^ A govkrmknt with nothing but police power would he ten times worse than wildest anarchy. We are approaching Russian despotism. Our czar n< w has a guard of soldiers ub ut liis palace. , Ti e “ utter route" of the Populists is the route to Washington, and utterance will begin after ’‘JO. The trouble with the unemployed is riot yet at an end, and w ill not be (inti there’ are no unemployed. Internal affairs are more important to the American people than all tiie foreign trade of tile world. How long will it take for' •‘confidence’’ to lift the mortgages from the homes of the American people?

PEOPLE’S PILOf, RENSSELAER, IND., WEEKLY, ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

Fbee silver is not enough. Labor unions are awakening More bonds are coming—why certainly. The prosecution of Debs ends in persecution. Deeds are greater than the praise of deeds. The hankers anticipate a prosperous new year. “Sold by the sheriff”—death knell of liberty. |Yhat lventucky needs is a Populist admin intration. Let human rights be the battle cry of the new year. A silver basis would be better than go Id b aseness. If you don’t learn how to vote you may have to shoot The next congress will make thousands of Populists. The Astor and the golden rod are the flowers of plutocracy. The democrats agree upon one thing —that it was a landslide. Monuments to the past are a rebuke to tlie present in America. Football and pugilism are saving the foolkiller lots of work. Sold out of a home—the greatest legal crime ever perpetrated. That last blizzard only emphasized the horrors of democratic rule. The old party fences are rotten from the "rider” to the “worm rail.” Everything points to the fact that the bankers have absolute control. The gold reserve is still declining, look out for another issue of bonds. It is now quite evident that the New York police force needs disinfecting. Days set apart for public charity should be days of national mourning. Tite greenback is the next subject of plutocratic ire. Will the people submit to it?

It is not so much a change of crops the farmer needs as it is a change ot votes. It continues to look like somebody has lied about the good limes that were to come. The main question is, shall this government be turned over to the money power or not? The editor of this paper would like to borrow a thousand dollars u> strengthen his credit. “Sound money” is money that the poor people get no nearer to than to be able to hear it sound. The free silver democrat who still remains in the democratic-party is an unmitigated old humbug. If the Lexow committee allows “no guilty man to escape,” what will New York do-for a police force? The democratic administration mortgaged thtir promised wave of prosperity before it arrived. That wild cat currency bill of Mr. Springer's is no worse than the wiltthog currency system of John Sherman’s. The Globe Democrat says the great increase of the Populist vote does nut indicate an increase of strength. Of course not. The main question to be settled is, which shall rule in this country,, the citizens or the dollar? The dollar is now on top. The wiping out of the police and detectives of New York city will dispose of the worst two classes of criminals in that city.

It looks now like Carlisle’s currency scheme would “die a homin’.” It may be, however, covering up a “nigger in the wood pile.’’ There is some newspaper talk of a war with ’Europe. We have no obI jections provided the fellows who get If up do the fighting. It is a useless .•■precaution for Czar Cleveland to have guard. His skin is too thick for any ordinary weapon to penetrate. ~ ‘ ■ 1 ■ f * * ■ - i The fifty-fourth congress will doubt- | less be called in special session to finish the democratic contract with the bankers and bondholders. Hog island and Buzzard’s bay will go down in history as the wallowufg place of the biggest hog that ever rooied up the garden of liberty. The Lexow committee of New York has uncovered enough corruption in the greatest city of the greatest nation of the earth to poison the whole world.

Brace up! Rescue the perishing. Shall our children be slaves? Rekindle the fires of freedom. Shall Shylock or the people rule? Begging in a “free country”—think sf it. Eugene V. Dkbs a martyr for Populism. United labor and Populism to the rescue.

Shall men who have bled for freedom, starve? • We love not Debs the less in jail, but freedom more. Shall the sons of patriots be the fathers of slaves? Laborers must organize against the usurers' muon. How much did you get out of the last issue of bonds? A man without a home is a man without a country. Tammany was only a kitten compared with Shermanism. Church conferences are beginning to ! discuss the labor question. Six months in jail will only serve to season Delis for further work. The present administration is helping to build up tue Populist narly. Turning evil out on the streets don't cure it any faster than licensing it. —— Gboveb Cleveland, the man who discovered Hog island und Buzzard’s bay.

The farmers and laborers have tinvotes to govern the country —if tney will. Sent to jail for being a Populist— is the sentence of Bens, in pmiu language. Now is the time to circulate reform literature, and give t Lime to ■suait in. The more uonus that are issued the hiiinor it tecoiiit-j to Keep up tae gold reserve. Buildinu uiOuUit.-iiei to a.en after having disgraced then - memory is inucnciy. 'i he bankers' cold olooaed proposition Uas stirred up tue .iOiai.it mood of patriotism. \v under Dow muon nicer and John got for tneiuseives wnen liiey sold to tue uaukers. Lobbyism widi a complication of congi essi.,m and yeuovv lever is the Uuiional Disease. Wonder what the plules think oi the Federation of La nor cuoosing a Populist president. *• —————— • The plutocrats say tiiat tne income tax must go--and the people say the piutocrats must go. New York city, the mod rotten spot in the great American rotten potato, governs the whole tuber. We don't forget the loyal assistants of Ileus who also suffer martyrdom for standing up for principle. Royal inim.cry and Angio-asininity In the white hou>e is driving American patriotism to the poor house.

Let us have a George Washington revival, and Abruhain Lincoln baptism, with Thomas Jehiersm mu ic. The highest monument lo Abraham Lincoln is the man who lives uccordj ing to his example and leaching. Napoleon is a ghost. For God's I s:ike, and the sake of humanity, let 1 him and his barbarism sleep forever. ===== | There is one more priest in slavery’s i pay to down from the leadermip of ! united labor. Dow n with McArthur. The bankers’ rebellion is probably responsible for Grover hiring a .-übstitute to transact the work of Pro.- .dent. Debs is an able organizer—but be is now in jail, and it is your duty to at- ■ tend to that work while he is suffering. Labor unions that elect Populist leauers will do part in electing a Populist President of the United fetates in 181)6. j ' j Napoleon is a chestnut, also a* for- ! eign ghost of war. Let us talk of living American heroes of peace—the laborers. i Begin the New Year by sending some good Populist paper to your old party neighbor. It will pay you and him both. Farmers and laborers must study the money crest I'm.or the professional “financiers" vvm ciu.ur the whole shooting match.

JACK'S WIFE.

Ulr W/Xgjf RS. HABESHON’S f/jHymfk ball seemed to ma&guj be a great suecess. At least Mrs. Habers hon fffeku gathered as much from the satisfied expresr sion on Lady A Gracia MartinW dale's face. For II the party was a V combination affair, Lady Gracia inviting the “right" people and, to a cer-

tain extent, guaranteeing their presence, and .Mrs. Habershon paying the necessary expenses of what was proving quite the ball of the season. Mrs. Habershon was a worn in who had every essential for a 1 suial career except a visiting list, and Lady Gracia Martindali was si woman who knew the best ways in which to obtain a thoroughly reliable article. So Mrs. Habershon to >k a house in Carlton House Terrace, and Lidy Gracia occupied a suit of rooms thero, an l duly “piloted" Mrs. Habershon, wao was fifty, among the intricacies of social circles. “I think you may safely give a ball in July,” Lady Gracia said one day. “It will probably clinch your posiI tion. But it must be done regardless of expense, and—the invitations mast be left entirely to me.” And so on July 10, Mrs. Habershon, (gorgeous in white an l silver, and smothered in diamonds, stool at the head of her great double marble staircase an 1 received in h *r be it ra mneg soipi eight hundred of Lady 'Gracia's triendsj. Things went well, and Mrs. Habershon would h-ve beamed had not a shadow sat below D idy (jlraci i’s coroj net of piuk pearls, but that disappeared toward midnight, when the duchess of Torrington an l her two daughters sailed up the crowded I stairs. “It’s all right, mvdiar.” whispered Lady Gracia in Mrs. H abnrshon’s ear. , “Your position is quite assured. The | duchess is most particular and only takes her girls to the best homes. ” Lady Gracia was about tp leave her protege and bjg.n a to tr of tin billroom, whan the sight of a n sw arrival i at the so >t of th * stairs arrested her. “Who is this, Mrs. II luirshon?” she inqu red sharply of h r hostess, who like herself w is staring at the slowly advancing fi jure. And indeed she was worth staring at, this woman, wio v.is leisurely ascending the stai c tse. More than commonly tall, her height and the wondrous whiteuess of her bust and arms were emphasized by thj dead blackness of th igovn sh j wore. Her hair, too, .was of tie ijnvjst hue, and was coiled in a hundred stran Is round her exquisite.y sha >ed head. As she neared the two ladies at t.ie stairhe d they saw that her face, though pale, was beautiful as a Greek st >tue. th it great velvety eyes 11 is le l sombrely beneath tiVo fine level br nvs, and that her inout i, on ill an l s iarlet as a rose, was full an I out n i vard at the corners.

"Mrs. Uabershon?” she said, advancing to Lady Gracia an l speaking with an inflection of inquiry in her low, rich voice. Lady Gracia drew back stiffly. “You are mistaken, madam.

■hon? mother, lam your daughter-In* law I Jack’s wife!” And Mrs. Habershon forgot her : manners and dropped her bouquet, and clasping her handsome daughter-in-law in her arms, kissed her thrice upon her roselike mouth. “We only arrived home from India this afternoon, and saw by the papers that you were receiving to-night, so I thought—we thought—l might come.” “And Jack?*’ cried Mrs. Habershon, oblivious of her guests, who were, however, rather touched than not by the little domestio scene. “Ah! Jack should have been here to present me to you, to make me known to you, but the journey knocked him up, he stood the voyage so badly, so he sent me alone. But,” and she for the first tims lookod at the brilliant scene about her, and a delicious blush crept into her creamy skin, “but now that I’ve seen you, mother, I will go. You have so many friends, I " “Indeed, Mrs. Habershon,” cried the duchess of Torrington, pushing her way through the crowd, “you must not let your daughter-in-law go again. If she has jußt come from India she must be quite anxious to see what a London ball room is like. Pray introduce her." Five minutea later Lady Gracia herself was run after by a serene highness—the only royalty present—who desired that the dark beauty with the ruby flaring above her brows should lie in tro I need to him. Ail th. t n g':t. t.!l the pnk dawn put the guv i gilts to u sickly blush, and the masses o' flow rs fainted on thi ir wired stems, iii.l the radiant beauty, with the b’nck flouting | draper es and the ruby , n rue, fl t through the lu’-e ball room, and up on i down the m n-ble staircase. The men carried the fame of her glorious beauty into a senr of clubs, while the women paid her the compliment of hating her. When Mrs. Haborshon and Lady Gracia met next morning at a late breakfast in the boudoir of the former, the latter was pleased to be gracious concerning the previous evening. “Of course, success was insured. I had taken care to g.:t Lie right people,” she said loftily. “But I must confess that the surprise about your daughter-in-law went off splendidly. My dear, Mrs. .Jack Habershon has actually managed to give society a sensation, and a creditable one into the bargain. Elopements and divorces have become so common they are quite vulgar. Now Mrs. Jack is quits desirable; the least shade p ouliar in appearance, perhap , but not moro perhip- than can bo. called di e. Even that queer rubv she wore maybe ” “I beg your pardon, madam’" cried Mrs. Habershon s maid, entering from the dressing room. “I dp not se • your collet necklace among vour things, and the largo iiamoii t 'mo you wore at the back of your bod ' ce ii> mining." “Nonsense,’' cried Mrs. Habershon, “the necklace must be on the dressing table, the sen muy have been dropped downstairs. Jujjt gp down and sea if anv ono has pipkp l it up. Everything that is found is tQ be taken to Parkin. Here, Purkin,”-r the butler’s voioe was heard at the door: “Please, madam, Mr. and Mrs. John Habershon have called, and would like to see you, and the duchess of Torrington has sent a footman ro n i to say thut she lost a large sapphire an l diamond spray here last night." “lell Mr. and Mrs. Habershon I will see them at once; and, Parkin, have the duchess' jewels lo’oked for at once. Parkin. I’m sure you’ll find the necklace if you look or it.” Then the door opened, and forgetting about diamonds and duchesses, Mrs. Habershon flung herielf into the arms of a tall, bronzed young man who hud ntered the room. “Dear mother, I am so glad to see you again. But I must present my wife to you. Effie, darling, this is my mother." But Mrs. Hab'-rshon drew back, for the girl who stood before her with trembling outstretched hands and tearful eves, was small and slight, with flu If y fair hair curling above two sapphire eyes. “This is Eflie, my wife———" “This your wife?” cried Mrs. Habershon. ’ ■'f'lien who is the la ly who was here last night?” “I am sure I don’t know," su i Jack dragging his mustache. “But I do know that Effie never left me the whole evening. We only arrived in the afternoon.” “Yes. I know, and you were knocked up by the voyage—your wife told me so.” “Who ever told you so was not my wife,” retorted Jack with emphasis. ’This is my wife.” “Impossible!" cried Mrs. Habershon with conviction. “Your wife is a tali, splendid woman with coal-black hair, dark eyes, ; nd ~ “Jack!” exclaimed Mrs. Jack. “Effie!” pried her husband. “That’s the description of Magdalene Barnes. She w.is my maid, Mrs. Habershon, but I cau/ht her pilfering my thlifjgs on the voyage home. Directly we touched England I d sraissed her.
