It is a great thing for a party of men
to stand for principles and for measures.
It is a great thing for people to rally
in solid phalanx in defense of that po
litical party that offers the best plat
form of principles.
Hut a party that presents upon its
platform a man who is not worthy of
ttie confidence of the people, should
not be supported.
A platform is not worth a cent with
out a MAN upon it.
■__1 he Democracy presents the best
platform in the country and it has a
nan upon it that commands the respect
of tbe people.

W itbout discussing its platform, which
is worthless, look at the man who is
running for President upon it.

Greenbacker, present Third party man,
and no telling what after the election.
weaver on the south.
What has he said from the stump
about the people among whom he now
comes askiDg their support. The fol
lowing extracts are from the Congress
ional Record, whichj Mr. Weaver
couldn’t deny:
“1 Want to Congratulate you
first, fellow citizens, on the suppression
of purely Democratic rebellion, gotten
up by Democrats for the purely Demo
cratic purpose of dissevering this
Union, and perpetually establishing
human slavery.”—Wen. J. B. Weaver
at Albia, Iowa, July 18, 1806.
“Here we have the old fight oyer
again. The Confederate Democracy,
North and South, in whicL the infa
mous copperhead division of Iowa ap
pears, are again contesting with Grant
for the safety of the Union. As at
Donelson, he proposes ‘to move on theii
works at once,* and there is no escapt
for this rank, traitorous herd, except in
another surrender. Charge on them,
follow Republicans, and spare not one,
not even a deputy road supervisor, from
total political annihilation.”—Gen. J.
B. Weaver, at Bloomfield, Iowa, Sept.
4, ISOS.
“And these men (the Democrats) ap
pear and ask for your support. They
should come on bended knees asking
your forgiveness for the unspeakable
crimes they have committed
and the wretched miseries
indicted upon our comtnon country.—
Gen. J. B. Weaver, at Fpirfield, Iowa,
bept. 18, 1870.
The record of the Republican party
appeals to the candid judgment of all
men as unimpeachable, save, perhaps,
that it was too lenient with the leading
Democratic conspirators. The same
old gang, save those who were Bbot or
hung, are again conspiring to get pos
session of the government next year.”
—Gen. J. B. Weaver, at Keokuk, lows,
Sept. 10,1871.
“No Republican can over, under any
circumstances, have any part or lot with
the hungry, rebellious, man-hating
woman-selling gang, corporated undet
the name of Democracy, a name so full
of stenoh and poison that it should be
blotted from the vocabulary of civilized
man and banded over to the, barbarism
that it so fitly now and in all the past
has represented.—Gen. J.B. Weaver, at
Oskaloosa, Sept. 25, 1872.
“We know that its (the Democracy’s)
acts comprise murder, treason, theft,
arson, fraud, perjury, and all crimes
possible for an organization to connive
at.”—General J. B. Weaver at Bloom
field, Iowa, Sept. 26,1869.
But the Third party men say this was
all said just after the war and that Gen-
oral Weaver thinks differently now.
Nearly sixteen years after uttering
these words, what did Weaver say ?
Read along further from the Record
“The above utterances by General
Weaver were quoted by his colleague,
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in the pres
ence of General Weaver, JULY 8,
1888. Mr. Weaver replied: “I have no
doubt that I uttered, if not the words
obtained in the extracts read before the
House, equally as forcible and substan
tially similar.”
Mr. Henderson said: “There id no
doubt of that.”
Mr. Weaver said: “I HAVE NO
THING TO TAKE BACK.”
See Vol. 19, Tart 7, Congressional Re
cord, page 6,147.
Four years have elapsed since then.
Has General Weaver anything to take
back now ? If he has, isn’t it actuated
by the office he is seeking?
Can any loyal Southern man endorse
him? No.
The South will stamp him out.

LONG DISTANCE RIDING.
German and Austrian Cavalry Officers
Competing for Frizes.
Berlin, Oct. 8.—At 6 o’clook a. m. in
this city and in Vienna, began a great
international long distance ride, in which
141 German cavalry officers will race to
Vienna, and 109 Austrian cavalry officers
will race to Berlin.
The prizes are seventeen in number
and valued at 88.000 marks. The largest
prize is 29,000 marks, and the smallest
,000 marks. The start here was made
from the custom house in Temple of
Freld.
Herr Keoler, of the Union club,
officiated as starter. Punctually at 6
o’clock Prince Frederich Leopold, ac
companied by two officers, left the post
and the long journey had begun.
This party was foHowed at intervals
1 ten minutes by other competitors,
who started either single or in groups.
At 10 o’clock all the officers who were
to start were on their way to the Aus
trian capital. Other officers will start
84 hours later, and starts will be made
until all of the 141 competitors are on
the road.
The competition is under the superin
tendence of Major Von Metzstaff, three
officers of the Guard, Colonel Von Kotz,
Major Count Schaffgo and two Austrian
officers, delegated on a Vienna com
mittee.
Among the competitors is Duke Gun
ther, brother of the empress. They all
ride in uniforms.

officers will, on the ride to Berlin, corn-

Ramsey was beating his wife
when Harris, who was the marshal ol
the town, went to her rescue. Matthews
shot him in the face with a gun. Mat
thews was captured and jailed. A mob
composed of Harris’ friends, organized
to take him out and hang him. Leading
citizens urged the mob to let the law
take its course, but not until after the
mayor had- telegraphed the governor for
the use of troops to queH the mob did
they consent to disperse.
Of course Harris’ friends were highly
indignant and began assembling at his
residence as soon as the murder became
known. The prisoner was arrested and
earned to the county jail, three miles
away. No effort was made to take him
from the officers. At night the excite
ment grew more intense and the city
and county authorities fearing the jail
would he attacked the mayor telegraphed
the governor for permission to call on
the military. [The sheriff redoubled the
county force, in all eighty men, well
armed, guarded the jail aU night.
Leading citizens met about seventy-
five men at the orphan asylmn, all of
whom were Harris’s friends. They were
quiet, but determined.
The citizens met them and gave them
a calm talk and showed what the result
would be. The sheriff had the jail
guarded, and had orders to defend it to
the last.
These talks had a desired effect. A
vote was taken by raising hands, and it
was decided to disperse and let the law
take its course.
It was one of the most aggravated
cases of murder ever committed in the
city. There is no excitement now, and
the jail is unguarded, and the negro will
not he ljTiched. Everybody is congratu
lating everybody else on the conduct of
the mob. The negroes are as quiet as
the whites. No excuse or defense is
made by anybody for the murder. The
negro is a notorious desperado, and has
been in many scrapes before.
r CHIEF COOLEY KILLED-
The Leader of the Pennsylvania Gang of
Outlaws Mot His Doom.
Uniontown, Oct. 4.—Frank Cooley,
the leader of the notorious Cooley gang,
was shot and killed Monday afternoon
at the home of his father, “Lute” Cooley,
between Fair Chance and Smithfield.
Early in the morning Sheriff Mo
Cormick and a few deputies' from here
slipped out quietly to Fair Chance before
daylight to avoid the spies of the gang
and joined the watchers in the field.
Frank Cooley and Jack Ramsey, the
two most daring of the gang, came rid
ing down to the Cooley house about noon
and in the afternoon went back of the
house into a field which had been lately
cleared of timber and was full oi
stumps.
"When the sheriff’s party came down
on them Ramsey and Cooley were both
half lying and half sitting against
stumps with their Winchesters beside
them. Sheriff McCormick was in ad
vance, and while some distance off Cooley
spied him. He and Ramsey fired five
tunes at the sheriff without getting np,
bnt all their bullets missed him.
The sheriff had, meanwhile, taken
refuge behind a tree, and from this
place fired the ball that
heart as ho lay
ing him instantly,
were fired at the outlaws by other mem
bers of the sheriff’s posse. Ramsey
started off on a run as soon as he saw
his chief was kiUed, with some of the
sheriffs party on his heels, racing after
him, and firing as he ran, but ne got
away.
Coroner Holbert of Fair Chance was
summoned and held an inquest on the
body of the dead outlaw, and ha now
lies at the home of his father. The
greatest excitement prevails in the
southern end of the county, and a feel
ing of relief is felt over the death of the
ontlaw leader. None of the sheriff’s
party have returned, being stiff on the
hunt for Ramsey.

COMMISSIONER PECK.
to Compel 111m to Produce
Private Papers in Court.
Hudson, N. Y., Oct. 3.—The applica
tion of E. Ellery Anderson for a manda
mus compelling Labor Commissioner
Peck to produce in court the private pa
yers from which he compiled his report
on the tariff, came up before Justice
Edwards, ex-Senator Norton Chase ap
pearing for Mr. Anderson and Edward
Meegan for the commissioner of labor,
Mr. Chase presented papers reciting
that Mr. Peek had refused to allow
public papers on file in his office and ob
tained under the seal of the Labor Com
missioner, to be examined, although it
was strictly provided that the papers on
file in his office were public property.
They, therefore, asked for a peremp
tory writ of mandamus to compel the
production of such documents. Mr.
Meegan for Mr. Peek presented an affi
davit in which he states that the com
munication and letters upon which his
report is based were never filed, nor
mad* record in his office, and were never
the property of the state, but were pri
vate letters, and whatever pro L
ists in them is divided bet ween the
nent and the several senders
letters.
Mr. Peck further swears: “I am ad
vised by my counsel that under the de
cision of Woolsey vs. Judd, 4 Deur, 370,
and other kindred cases, the injunction
would lie against me if I attempted in
any way to make public that which I
guaranteed should be private matter and
held as secret and confidental as the
head of the department in qnestion.
“I am of the opinion, and so represent
to this honorable court, that the public
action of names or address of person and
corporations who have furnished data
upon which my report is based would be
greatly injurious to thepublicinterests.”
After arguments were heard Judge
Edwards reserved his decision.

It Will He Some Time Ilefwre She
Before the Lights Again.
New York, Oct. 8.—Lotta, tho actress
lies on a bod in a private sanitarium un
der the treatment of a specialist, and it
will be many weeks before she will be
before the foot lights. Perhaps she i
never come back to the public again.
Lotta’s mother, Mrs. Crab tee, will not
disclose the location of the sanitarium.
She said: “My daughter’s illness had
its origin three years ago. in Jersey City
when she was playing “Musette.” There
is a part of the play where she has to
fall, bnt is caught before reaching the
floor. This time she fell and nobody
caught her.
She was so injured that she had to be
carried to New York on a litter. Her
illness was a long one. A year later,
while taking a carriage ride in Boston,
the horses ran away, and she jumped
from the vehicle and again severely in
jured herself. She could not walk for
six weeks except on cratches. She was
not light in weight, as many suppose.
She takes after her father in build, and
has a long, stocky body and short legs.
She was so ill on Saturday last that on
the advice of a consultation of doctors
she was taken to a sanitarium.
Of Lizzie Murray, a ItufTalo Girl Wild
Died From a S.iock of Fright.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 4, — One
of the saddest results of the switch
men’s strike is the death of Liz
zie Murray, a sixteen-year-old girl, who
died Saturday of shock. When the
soldiers of the Twenty-second Regiment
charged a crowd of stonethrowers on
August 25, and shot young Michael Brod
erick, Lizzie Murray was standing in the
street.
She saw Broderick pursued bytha
soldiers, and watched the chase with
terror-stricken face. She heard the sol
diers cry out to Broderick to halt, and
saw a soldier level his piece and fire at
the fugitive, who toppled over the fence
bleeding and apparently dead.
The .strain was too much for her, and
she f: luted. When she came to the
horrified look seemed stamped on her
face, and she screamed and appeared in
sane from fright. She was taken home,
and was seized with an attack of hys
terics, which continued for several day.
The best physicians in the city attend
ed her, bnt she sank, and heart failure
ended her life. Her nights were hours
of horror to her, and she sank to dee
only to spring up shrieking: “The sol
diers! The soldiers 1” Her last cry was
for mercy.
A Duel by Moonlight,
Little Falls, Minn., Oct. 4.—Alex

pitchfork and knife in the moolight
three miles east of this place. Gravel
and his father, Narcisse Gravel, with a
young Italian, were on their way home
to Gravelville, and Artman overtook
them. A quarrel ensued, and Alexan
der Gravel, a young man of 22, grap
pled with Artman in the road, the for
mer using a knife and the latter a pitch-
fork. Artman was stabbed in twenty
places, tbe fatal wound being mode in

cripple on crutches, was unable to leave
his vehicle to separate the combatants.
He and the Italian are under arrest.

Portable Houses aud Systematic Killing
Off of Fowls Whore Many Are Kept.
English methods of managing poultry
Jiffer somewhat from our own. An ex
cellent English authority, writing to The
Country Gentleman, tells that in the
great majority of cases it is found better
to have a number of small houses rather
than a large one. The expense is per
haps a little more at first, but not when
is taken into account that with porta
ble houses fencing is unnecessary, and
dispensing with that more than compen

tages of keeping flocks of, say, fifty hens
in one lionse, and placing these houses
in different parts of the farm, must be
obvious. For some unexplainable rea

numbers than when a great many of
them are massed together.

About United States Prisoners.
Columbus, Oct. 3.—For some time
past the United States authorities have
not taken kindly to the mode of punish
ment in vogue at the Ohio penitentiary,
where a large number of United States
prisoners are.confined. Word has been
received here that a movement is on
foot to make the penitentiary at Michi
gan City, Ind., a general repository for
United'States prisoners. General E. C.
Foster, agent at the department of jus
tice at Washington, is investigating the
matter.
The pnishment of such prisoners
would then be entirely under federal
control, and the biting humming bird
and fright-giving dneking used in the
Ohio pen would he unknown there. If
the proposed change prevails, all United
States prisoners will be taken there
from the Ohio pen. Snch prisoners
were first sent from other states here
under Warden Coffin’s administration,
and, as the crop of Ohio criminals never
fails, it would suit Columbus citizens to
get rid of this foreign talent
TBE RESULT OF MERIT.
When anything stands a test of fifty
ye rs among a discriminating people
like tbe Americans, it is pretty gooc
evidence that there is merit somewhere.
The value of a medicine is best proved
by i > continued use from year to year
by the same persons and families, as
w» 11 as by a steady increasing sale. Few,
if any, medicines have met with suoh
continued snooess and popularity as has
marked the introduction aud progress of
Branorxth's Pills, which after a tri 1
of c»v r fifty year®, are conceded to be the
afest and m< at effective purgative and
blood purifi.r introduced to tne public.
This is tbe result of uerit, anl that
Beakdreth’b Pills actually perform
all that is claimed for them, is conclu
sively proved by the fact that those who .
regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them tbe longest.
Bbamdbkth’s Pills are sold in every i
drug or meiicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.
Dynamite Thrown in the Center of the
Town Endangering Several Lives.
New York, Oct. 8.—At 10 o’clock a.
m., a dynamite bomb was thrown from
a window in the Garfield building, in
Brooklyn, opposite the city hall, which
exploded on the pavement. The noise
of the explosion was heard a quarter of
a mile away.
Providentially no one was injured, al
though the streets in front of the build
ing was busy, as it usually is at that
time of the day.
Lena Doramns, 15 years old, who lives
in St Mark’s place, was standing within
twenty feet from where the bomb ex
ploded, and was badly shocked, but es
caped without personal injury, although
Cue of her shoes was nearly tom from
her foot.
Ex-Mayor Hunter was passing within
a hundred feet of the spot when the
bomb was thrown, and the police think
that it might have been intended for
him, although they can give no plausible
reason'lor this belief.
The bomb was made of papier mache.
Within a minute of the explosion, hun
dreds of people filled the street, and
Were with difficulty kept out of the
building.
No arrests have been made. Strange
as it may seem, no damage was done to
the building.

FIG. I—PORTABLE POULTRY HOUSE,
such as 1 have mentioned placed in the
comer of a field fifty fowls can be kept
quite easily, and as it can be moved
quickly there is no danger whatever
from disease arising from foulness of
the ground. I send you herewith illus
trations showing sowo cf tho portable
houses used in this country, and from
them you will see what we have found
best.
Some time ago I was at a farm iu
the north of England, where 2,400 laying
hens are kept. These were placed out
in flocks of fifty, as suggested, and as
the land upon which they were running
was also occupied by dairy cattte there
was no danger of the ground being con
taminated. Around each house was
placed a low fence to keep the cattle
from rubbing themselves thereon. In
this way so large a number of fowls as
named are kept in perfect health, and 1
may say that in places where poultry
are bred extensively this is the better
plan.
Of course there is a little more trot*
ble involved, in the direction of feeding
cleaning collection of eggs aud general
oversight than if the hens were al’
placed in one house, but I am sure th»
additional trouble is compensated for by
the fact that an attendant can better
supervise a email number of fowls, see
ing that all are healthy, than if there
are several hundreds together. At any
rate the additional labor is not found to
be any drawback to the method I am ad
vocating.
One of the great dangers when keep
ing poultry in large numbers is caused
either by great waste of food or star
vation of the fowls, and as either is cer
tain to bring evil in its train it is most
important that careful attention be paid
to these questions. I have been in poul
try establishments where the amount of
food lying about would have kept all the
poultry for several days, and in others
where every grain was almost begrudged,
and the fowls had certainly at some
seasons of the year scarcely enough to
eat.”
There is a further matter to which
Mr. Beale calls attention—viz., the im
portance of killing off birds regularly.
Concerning a pi n .e in Snssex, where
this method is systematically carried
out, he writes: “Here some hundreds of
laying hens are kept, and in their sec
ond year, so soon as they show the
slightest 6igns of ceasing to lay, they
are fed up for a week and killed. The
result is that they sell for fair prices,
because they are still in good condition,
and they make room for young stock.
Ha Loved Children.
After she had seated herself in the ferry
boat little Willie broke away from .her
and began rolling around in tho dust and
lirt before us all.
“Ah, madam,” whispered the old gentle
man, “do not try to stop little Willie. I
love to see the child have fun.”
“Yes, indeed."
“It docs my old heart good,” he went on
as Willie turned a double somersault; “it
carries me back to the early days. I tell
you, ma’am, there is nothiug like youth.”
“That is true, sir,” she said sweetly.
“It recalls to me, madam, the old farm,
where I ouce romped, a care free mortal all
the livelong day.”
“Willie is such a good boy,” she ven
tured as William yelled “Rats!” three
times and threw up his hat.
The old gentleman suddenly let out a
roar that echoed over the river.
“Wow-wl” he gasped, howling with pain.
“Mercy, mel” exclaimed the woman,
staring.
“Why don’t you teach your boy some
manners! He has just stuck a pin in my
leg!”
“But he is only a harmless child, sir.”
“Wow-wl"
“And his conduct carries you back to the
early days.”
“Wow-w!”
“And youth fades so quickly, sir.”
“Wow-w, ma’am—wow-w, I sayl”
"And it reminds you of the days down
on the old farm.”
“That will do, ma’am,” he gasped, ris
ing and glaring at us all. “I see, ma’am,
that I am in the presence of a spoiled
child—your sweet William. You expect
we should all sing and dance, but you are
mistaken, ma’am—mistaken to the ut
most. I predict, ma’am, that your boy
will grow up a burglar and a horse thief,
and if he doesn’t break his mother’s heart
before he Is twenty-one my name is mud,
ma’am, mud, I sayl”
And he flung himself out the door.
Then mamma took little Willie to her
arms and did exactly what all mothers
would under the circumstances.
She called William her darling boy and
kissed him ou the dirty nose.—New York
Herald.

Colonel Gilkerson’s wife and daughter
returned yesterday from their first sum

the depot with the family carriage to meet
them, and after the first effusive greetings
were over he turned his eyes indulgently
on the tall, beautiful girl and said:
Well, Angeline, how did ye like it!”
Oh, popper,” she -exclaimed, “it was
just heavenlyl I never enjoyed anything
so much.”
“H’em!” observed the old man reflec
