First, there is the party iu pow

then there ia the third party, ancblhe

squint at tho lespcotive parlies/The
republicans have been in powar ovot
thirty years : have control oxuv the
most powerful adjuncts to party
success. They maintain a perfect
organization aud stand true to one
another in a rammer that would be
worthy of imitation by auy other
party. They spend money by the
thousands to elect tlioir officer*, for
dofeat to thorn would cut off tho un-
hallowed taxation which robs the
masses to make millionaires of a
number of nortcastorn manufactur-
ers. The democratic, which is, and
always has been, a party compoaed
of the people aud for the people,
giettlv outnumber the ropiiblicaus,
yet. they fall fo get in powor, and
whyt Simply because they will not
stick together. Tho democrats of
the south aud west must unite before
they eon expect to accomplish the
reforms they need. The third party
is composed mostly of dissatisfied
democrats who think they Iiavo dis-
covered a panacea for all their griev-
ances, and nil thoy have to do is to
elect third party men to office, and
they will ahow that Goorgo Wash-
ington and Tommy Jefferson didn't
know enough to run a little one
horse government, let alone our
great Republic. TLo prohibition
party still keeps pegging away.
They still cling to (heir old doctrine,
and in that they arc more worthy
than other parties that, like a load,
change their coat evory spring. The
thiid party agitators charge the
democrats with being responsible
for every ill that has been done in
legislation since the war, when they
know that the democrats have not
been in powor. “Oh," says one,
“look at the fate of free silver iu the
last house ” True, a good many
democrats voted against free silver,
aud it is the duty of every voter to
take notice of them, and scratch
them at the next election, notwith-
standing I he fuct that a free coinago
hill would not pass a republican
senate, or lie signed by a president
that said he w >uld veto auy free
coinage measure that congress
would pass. And let me state right
here that the third party is off in
ch'trgiug tbe democrats with trea-
son. where the trouble li< s -is wilh

CI TATION BY ITBLIcTnoS.
The d’-moentts ate
ch'-rged with dropping tho freetia le
plank and the income lux Now, let
me sitv that the democrat* hud t<>
lake a conHervalive course. They
had su<-h a set buck at the clone of
ihe war tlicie were loudly enough
lef. to iii-tke a respectable showing,
a id if they had come out at any
tune up to tne present with a free
uade plank and an income lax plank
they would have been snowed under
so deep that it Would have taken
ihem years to have scratched out
But now, as the republicans are los-
ing their grip on some of the middle
and western states, tho democrats
could come out more boldly, , but
they are now attacked in the rear by
the third party which will force them
into accepting New York and Tain-
many, for they cannot cut Iooro from
New England with their forces di-
vided, and the outlook nt this time
is favorable for a republican presi-
dent and congress to be elected this
fall, for everybody that knows any-
thing at all about the voting strength
of the parties, know there is no pos-
sible chance for any third party to
get into power, ami they also icnow
the democrats cannot lose many
votes and beat the republicans for
they will muke a desperate struggle
h -Id their power. Borne third
advocates have an illusive
_ tjiat the wage workers of the
worth and eatjt will heVi, I ham out.
—1“ but they are left there, for
worker’s and the farmer’s interests
arc not the same. The working mau
cannot swallow such doctrines ns the
aub-freaunry. for he is a consumer,
and any move to increase the price
of fsrtn products will be checkmated
by him. It is rather remarknblc that
the third party speakers charge all
evils to tho democrats, and don’t say
a word about the republicans. They
must even things up a little, lay the
charges at tho right door, or the in-
ference will be drawn that the third
party and tho republicans have gone
in caboot to beat the democrats, and
if that should be the case I wish to
warn ihe third party I hat tho repub-
licans will get all tho pie and they
will get the cahoot.

NEIGHBORHOOD ALARMED.
On Hunday a tramp, armed with a fine
shot gun, visited several farms near Mor-
gans Mill, unit hud tho ladles nearly
sc trod lo death. He visited Ben Karp's,
where bo stated In hrokca English that
he was nearly starved to death. He was
Invited to stav for breakfast, but declin-
ed. He was given lireau and meat, and
he then left Several hours alter lie
pa-sed near the house, and visited an
other residence, and got something to
eat. At one placo ho opened tho back
door, and walked in will) Ids gun, and
stated he was nearly starvj
y starved,

Yon say, ‘ I want lo live so that I can

In henv’en *' O, noble purpose! But
what do yfiu think of a man living this
way and at the same time living So that
soon aftrr lie takes his departure for
heaven, Ids family must taka theirs for
the poor house. We think few such men
will get to heaven. Why? Because “lie
tliHt provided) not for Ids own honsv
liold, hath denied the faith nnd is worse
'Ik. iiirir iin.iiii son than the Infidel.” Oh, you say. I have al-

Neither your farm or your stock "f cattle
and horses, or your slore would be worth
much to them, because they would not
have the stre-ng' h nor the ability to man-
ege cither. Como now, resolve at once
to go and see Ator & Minton and sec
whit they can offer vou under a policy

have taken a policy you have made sure
of their support lu case of your death.

—Fraud* tt. SaltUO.
Tli* Great Haute or Kngtand Swindle.
Four Americana, named George and
Austin Illdwell, Ooorge McDonald and
Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the
Hank of Euglaud of nearly £1,000,000.
They accompltailed their swindle by tak-
ing advantage of a custom of the bank
which had grown up through tlie gen-
eral honesty of business tnon and meth-
ods in Eugland. The bank was accus-
tomed to receive bills of exchange in
deposit on account, without verifying
their signatures or the acceptance*.
Probably until the Bidwells began- to
experiment on them the bank authori-
ties cover I tad hod such paper offered
them otherwise titan in good faith.
These men contrived by pretense and
falsehood to secure the necessary intro-
duction to the bank officers, and 0]>eiied
au account with them under an assumed
uauie. They then bad several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and fioodod the Bank of England
with these bills from all over tbe world,
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity. The bank unhesitatingly
cashed theso and put the proceeds to the
credit of the swindlers, who drew out
the money In ostensible) business trans-
actions in such a way as to excite no
suspicion on the part of the bank of-
ficials.
At Inst the rascals betrayed themselves
by neglecting to date the acceptance of
two of the frandulont bills. Tho bank,
sending these to the acceptors to have
the omission supplied, discovered the
fraud at once. After an exciting chase
by detectives nil the inen were arrested,
then tried and convicted, and all sen-
tenced to prison for life. In 1888 George
Bid well was pardoned and allowed to
return to the United States. Tho others
are still in prison.—London Letter.
