One of the bills Introtlueetl by hltn provide* that all pensioners for service In the federal nrmy and uavy dunng ilto war limy receive In one pnymeut ten Hines the niimml nmouiit of Hie pension. It Is calcu lated that this would oust the goveru- raent kt.raMi.uuuutiu In one'year. Mr. Daria is also a Populist con- grossmuu of gmsl standing anil lias lu- induced a number of bills embodying Ills Wens of whtit tho government should do. One provides that the mort gage debt of any mortgager of real es tate used us it home or for support ahull be paid hy. tho United State* When* tin appraisement boartl llntls tho estnlo to lie worth the full amount of the mortgage, mid tile debtor shall be allowed to redeem his property from tbo Unttnt Slates within twenty years by paylug nu (merest of 1 per cent, per annum.

First, Hint It Is tbe government's duty to take cars of people—to make thetArtob; and. second, that It can easily emit# whatever amount of wraith Is necessary to per form this duty.

They \ know that the government could not take wealth to that vast amount from citizens now owning tt, In order to give to other citizens, without bringing on n revolution.

The purpose* of n party are known not only by the generalization* of Its plait form hut by the spirlllc measures of legislation which it or its representatives propose. REPUBLICANS AND POPULISTS. In bis speeches daring this campaign M.tJ. Bacon taut pointed out one very Im portant fact on more than one occuHion. Thl» Is that tho real fight In this coun try for political control is and must for a. lung time bo between tho Democratic and Republican parties, tbe Populist movement and other movement* of like character merely weakening one or tho other of the two. There earn be no question ii* to which of the two parties has been Injured by tbe l'opnllst move ment In the South, but had there been It would have been definitely nettled In this state by Hie action of tbo Repub lican convention In Atlanta In fundamental principle there Is much In ooramon between Populism nnd -Republicans. Both believe In n strongly centralized government. But in the measures at the moment favored Uiere Is little or nothing in common l»e- tween them, which grow* out of the foot that, though agreeing on certain great principle*, the two parties ma under the control of different and iun- tagoulMtlc elements of the population. Both wish to protect, to cheri*li, to be stow fnvora upon certain classes, but not Hie same classes. The determina tion of the Republican managers lu Georgia, therefore, to give tho Miipport of their party to tiio Populist candidate is not due to any sympathy with the purposes of thnso candidates, but In Uio result of a cool calculation that the best way to Injure the Democratic par ty IB to go into an alliance with Ua enemies. Tho lesson ought not to bo lost on tho Democrat* of the slate nor upon Popu lists who prefer Democratic to Repub lican success. The latter may well ask UieinselVCM if Uieir party will bo asked to pay anything for Republican sup port. Iiepuklkwn politicians are not In the habit Of doing service witlnmt hope of reward, suppose Hint with their help tho Populist party should succeed In electing it* candidates, would it not depend tar continuation of its power upon Hie Republican* nnd be compelled to grant Die latter anything tln-y might deraaudV Thu result would be not gov ernment according to Populist Ideas but government by Populist officials largely controlled lu their aotlons by Republican politicians. Does a ny hon est, state-loving Populist seo io this prospect anything that enaourages him to believe that government would bo better or tbo people happier? It Is plain to us that tho extent of the gnln by anybody would be tho limit of the salaries drawn l>y the Populist, officials, wbllo tho loss to tbe people lu Hie de moralization of polities consequent upon auch nn ulllnnce Is Inealculnhle. The Populist movement can have no result except to lujure the party which Mauds for Just dealing with till citizens, which opposes paternalism, which re fuses to buy support hy favors to any man or nay 1 class, and represent* In the politics of this country the high Idenls of tbs men who founded our govern ment. It onu do UiIh In. two ways—hy strengthening tho hands of Its vnemic* by entering into nllliuiuiywlth them, and by lowering Hui Ijlisils of Democrat* by appeal* to their selfish desires or to their class prejudices. Doomed to fall urc Itself, it can only strcngtliun tlio Republican party. MILLS*TO 11BM.UN CLOSED. The New Bedford MU.* May Start Up Before Winter. New Bedford, Mu**.. Aug.

Ml> Taylor Gibson tells u good story on an old darky down In Crawford county. The old darky caught a Une, fat 'possum, which be prepared for supper. After tlie 'possum was cooked to ex- uetiy the right degree he took tt off the tire to lot-it get cool, enough to eat. While thus waiting he dropped off to sloop. Almut this time another darky who was passing by got a whiff of tbe appetizing odor arising from the hot 'possum mid thought lie would drop In and see the old darky in the house, and if the luvftiitiou who extended would help him eat tbu 'possum. Hu tlrat thought, however, he would see if the darky had company, mid peeped through u crack near tho chimney. No <mc was there but tbe old man nnd lie Was sound asleep, while the 'possum was In a pan ou tlie hearth emitting tbe most tempting odor the darky ou Uio outS.de bad ever smelt. For a few m.tauten be watched lirst tbe sleeping darky nod then tlie 'possum, nnd then lie decided that he could stand' it no longer He did not sec the necessity for taking chances on being Invited to partake when the old dnrky awaked, so decided to eat ft all while I he old mini slept. Cautiously ho pushed the door ojhbi, and in another minute he wus Kcutcd on tho floor with the pan between Ik's kness eating for dear life. Thu old darky continued to’ sleep and would occasionally smack Ills lips as though dreaming of eating the ’pos sum. Finally tlio negro on tho floor picked clean tlio last bone nnd sopped nil the gravy with tbe potatoes. Ho then took a greasy lione nnd gently rubbed it on the steeling darky’s lips and bauds without awakening him. Then as stealthily ns possible ho wont outskle nnd watched tho old man thnuigh the crack near the chimney. After wtitttag some time he saw the old man wake up, stretch himself nnd begin to smack bis Kps. Finally be opened Ids eyes wide and quickly glanced at tine pan on the breath. There a mass of clean bones greeted his ns- toulslied gaze and he looked suspi ciously around. Seeing no one he picked up tlio pan and examined the hones carefully, lie then rubbed bis touguc ove. .Ills greasy lips and locked dubi ously ivt bis greasy hands. “I wonder did I eat dnt ’poksvun,” he was lieanl to mutter to himself, nnd then he scratched h’.s head ns If to think.

There was ft fair attendance at the even ing session, which opened with an address by Dr. B. G. Fernow, chief of the forestry division of the agricultural department on the timber resources of the South., He mid the South had a better class of tim ber than any other pfirt of the United States and although the Pacific coast had a greater area in timber, the Southern forests were nearer to the great markets. The South had been wasteful with regard to its Umber. Its forests had been culled ef their best timber, thus presenting its spread and leaving only the poorer kind. The forests had also been allowed to burn, thus not only destroying valuable timber, but the fertility of the soile. Dr. Fernow urged that the convention tell the truth about the South and have the Southern legislatures pass lasws for the better pro tection from forest fires. •M*. Yancey of Florida Indorsed Dr. Fer- now's remarks and a reference he made to the late Henry W. Grady, caused pro long applause. Something about the manufacture of lumber In the northwest wa* told the con vention by M. Poore of the Dubuque board of trade. He had machinery for manufacturing lumber to send to an avail able place In the South. The timber re sources of the Northern portion of which he depended was becoming exhausted and he was obliged to turn to the South. But the South wanted now blood, that wae what caused the North to be so enterpris er. Grigsby Thomas of Columbus. Ga., detonded the South from tho statements about lynching* and burnings. He “Id he told a Scotchman, who had questioned him about It. that ho would bring over 14,000.000 negroes from the South and marah through England, and If ttley did not put the working riasse* «wro to shame for Industry, proeperlty and help ing disposition, he would pay theiy fares back to America. The trouble between the North and South, raid Mr. Thomas, was that each was Ignorant of the other. The South treated the negro well If he acted well. Mr. Thomas said he did not believe In the» Northern people who came South and raid: "Get o more on you.” He contended that the New South wmii.1 never equal the greatness lind glory of the Old South and this sentiment was applauded loudly. 1 Dr. M. Souvlgtle. an ex-suraeon of the French army residing In Chattanooga, told of the resources of Tennessee and op portunities of investment there.

THE IRON MARKET. Prices Arc Stiff, W.th I/ttle Intima tion to Yield. Cleveland, O., Aug. 30.—The Iron Trade Review today say* that report* from selling centers agree that the volume of business In Iron and steel Is well maintained, and there Is u donate improvement in the tone of the market. The volume of business is undoubtedly greater than at nuy tiiue in u year, and the fact that few huge contract* are out and that the demand Is distributed in all lines. Is proof of a general •move ment to replenish stocks. This is be ing done conservatively and the large aggregate has had do effeet on prices. The feeling among authorities In the iron trade I* that no iVsbcr basis ut value Is to be seen in tile Umnddlate future, no matter what'the'exact 'rela tion between foreign selling prices, with the new tariff added, and at home tlie Impression Is widespread that con sumers will get lower prices now, and there is no willingness to pay nu ad vance. No effect on the prices of Bessemer pig Is apparent as yot, since there are unlillcd Eastern contracts that must l>e discharged before many of Hiese Ma honing and Shenago furnaces can make Iron for the market. Tlie' price In the Pittsburg and Wheeling district* for short delivery is still firm at J12. Buy ers and sellers are upart in their ideas ns to long contract* nnd tbe same sit uation obtalils as to billets. Low lake freight* have permitted Chicago to come well to the East for thf lino usu ally drawn hy the competition of Pittsburg nnd Ohio Valley billet mills. Southern pig Iron Is still practically shut out of Chicago by the figures innde on local Iron. In the East the demand for both Southern and Penn sylvania foundry irons keeps up well nnd prices hold firm, under an In creased supply, though no advance Is secured. Southern sellers In general have their views above anything they have yet realized. MILWUkpE SMALLPOX. The Troops Will Not Turn Out lo En force Health Laws. Milwaukee.
