It takes a man of steady nerve and strokg personality to rise above the man worship Inauguration, which characterized visitors to the and Speak as did Gov. R. B.Tillman of South Carolina. “Ido not like to voice any sentiment that muy be in the least suggestive of Democratic disaster. Our party is now in possession, for the first time in many years, of ai! the departments of tho Government, and, of course, the country is looking to a Dem¬ ocratic administration, for relief and re torm. We need financial relief quite as much as a reform of taxation. I am squarely iu favor of honest money, but it seems strange that, after using sil¬ ver from the foundation of the govern¬ ment as a money metal, that in this lat¬ ter day it is to be degraded and made a secondary whole importance. The gist of the matter is that if the Democratic party does Dot lighten the popular bur¬ dens; does Dot harken to the cry for re¬ lief that comes up from every quarter, there is sure to be trouble. Then we look for a general shaking up and new political alignments. In this event, I look to see a combination of the south and west, for a people with a common interest must stand shoulder to shoulder.” —Ex. A NATION OF TOADIES. The Washington Post gives expression to some very sensible views in the fol¬ lowing: The torrent of slobber now flowing is through the columns of the newspapers rank enough to gag a graven image. Never in the history of the country has there been anything to approach it, even had distantly. In times gone sense" by we have enthusiasm. That of favors yet to come moved men to the extent of gush occasionally. The incoming Presi¬ dent and Vice-President have always been big men about the 4th of March— properly enough. But this year the re¬ cords of the past have been obliterated by a flow of hog-wash so thick, so tur¬ gid, so nauseous that sensible men must feel like taking up tho newspaper with a pair of tongs, and holding their noses while they open it. Just what is coming over the Ameri¬ can agine. people we shrink from trying to im¬ Here are two g ntlcmen whom we have known favotably for some years pa»t. That they are ni-n of strength, d'ilily and high chatsctcr goes without •'tying. Had they beon less titan that, ihivr party would not have nominat'-d ' I'd the people would not lmve elected Ihun. We are nil sure that they will <1 it charge their duties adnpmiely, and th'it the hon r mid safety of the nation will be s r ( in (heir vigilant and pa¬ triotic care But hey are not demi-gods. They are no ■■ most wonderful human beings that vi walked the earth.— They are not mule of different and 'Siur clay than the other men are made sf. Neither Mr. Cleveland nor Mr. Ste¬ venson is a phenomenon. Why do the newspapers laud and herald them as though they had just descended from Olympus and might be expected to as ;eud again at any moment? The whole thing is disgusting and sbnmiuable. It is the work of toadies lud courtiers—not of self-respecting cit¬ izens of a free country. It represents a vicious and lamentable departure from the high standard oi American independ¬ ence. We are becoming a nation of flunkeys and fetich worshipers. Our great men are swelling up into divinities and their families take on the attributes of royalty. A president’s baby is something far wonderful and mysterious— out of the reach of stomach-ache and other things that trouble ordinary youngsters, superior to shingles, and e.\ empted from all need of vermifuge. The Cabinet officers and their households, touched by the wand of Presidential fa ver, become superhuman. Miracles of beauty, shapes of grace, models of cul t'Jre, visions of delight, better than other people at every point, they soar at once into a rarer atmosphere and look down upon us out of aureoles while Jen¬ kins twang this living lyre and we wag ur deferential tails with violence. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson and all the Cabiuet, unless they have gone crazy, too, must be ashamed of us, and certainly we should be ashamed of our¬ selves. We ought to be put into livery. WHAT OF THE FUTURE OF THE PEOPLE’S PARTY. “The purification of politics is an iri¬ descent dream” is one of the sayings of the late Senator Ingalls which has obtain td world-wild celebrity, and events that h’lve recently transpired ia our state have demonstrated that he is not the only statesman of modern times who be¬ lieves in and reduces to practice that peculiar tenet of political philosophy. We propose in the near future to discuss seme of the indications of the character of practice above indicated, and to point out unmistakably such changes in the policy will of our party as, in our judgement, alone insure success upon any basis that will afford ultimate relief (o the misses of the American people from the ;%il consequences of past vicious legisla¬ tion. The People’s party was organized as a iving protest against the corrupt meth¬ ods of tho two great parties which have een contending for supremacy in this jountry during the past quarter of a cen ury, and against the in quitous legisla¬ tion which they have inflicted upon the people; and if it is to accomplish its purpose; if it is to redeem the republic irom the vandals who have well nieh wrought its ruin; if it is to be the instru¬ ment by which the remnant of American liberty shall be preserved and free insti¬ tutions be transmitted to the generations yet unborn, it must rise above the plane its party predecessors; it must main the purity of its own purpose and Bkreallty and show to the world that what it pretends to be ■Apt ■ggr"-.T, reform descend ideas oeio a rl nropfifn HrSt incorporates among, ■ tmj loea . the etemSMs ot decay of ultimate disaster both to itself and to the people. Byery careful student of our past po¬ litical history must be aware of the steps by which parties have degenerated from the high purpose which prom;,ted their organization. The seemingly ab¬ solute necessity for early success in order to insure the reforms which a new party always has in view tempts a resort to means of questionable character, and the best and purest men are often led to con¬ done the employment of such means, or at least to maintain silence upon the subject lest the success of the party be jeopardized. One small step taken in this direction and another follows as a le¬ 'by gitimate result, and the consequence is the t me the party which has started out with the most promising prospects and with the noblest purposes has at¬ tained success, the most corrupt ele¬ ments of society, which have been drawn into it for selfish purposes in con¬ sequence of its growth aDd its pros¬ pects of ultimate victory, will be found to have come uppermost; and, just when the party is apparently in po¬ sition to carry its proposed reforms into effect, it finds its high purposes defeated because the men who have been elevated to positions of trust, when weighed in the balance, are found waning. This, we is because the first questionable step is permitted to pass without criti¬ cism, and then the next and still the next, for the same reason—the fear that die interests of the party may suffer. Thus corruption gradually creeps in and finally controls all parties. The People’s party will constitute no exception to the rule if it follows in the footsteps of Its predecessors in this respect. It will fail of the noble purpose for which it came into being, and instead of entertaining a just pride in its achievements, we shall have reason to blush at the recital of its history. A Camel Ride. There is something inexpressibly re¬ pelling in the supercillium trist of a camel as he looks scornfully at you with bis nose iu the air. But I overcame my re¬ pugnance and mounted one, after receiv¬ ing careful instructions how to retain my seat while the brute was getting up. It was well enough when he walked, but when he began to trot at a brisk pace I devoutly wished myself astride a hum¬ bler animal. But how was I to stop him? There was no bridle, only a rope attached to the left side of the brute’s mouth. At that rope I tugged, with the effect merely had if making told my camel trot to the left. I been that if I wished him to go to the right I must hit him ou the left side of the head with a very short stick, with which I had been provided for the purpose. But that was more easily said than done. How was I, from my giddy perch, to reach the creature’s head across that long stretch of neck? I tried it and nearly lost my balance for my pains—no joke at the height of some ten l'ect above the pebbly sand. One of the officers, however, saw my plight, stopped, utter¬ ing some gurgling sounds, and then'the camel, vigorously, exposing its teeth and protesting knelt down and I dismount¬ ed, vowing that never again would I choose that inode of locomotion. My deliverer, who exchanged his don¬ key for my camel, laughed heartily at my discomfiture. But I had my revenge speedily, for allowed in the exuberance of his gayoty he lliu camel to riso un¬ expectedly heels the and was pitched head over on ground, Jie was not hurt, uml lie joined in the laugh against him¬ self London as heartily ns he hud laughed ul mu. —1 Spectator. ALLIANCE LITERATURE. Matters of Moment Which Concern the Order and Its Mentos. A correspondent of tho dying, Thomasville News says; “The alliance is is it? Well, perhaps it is, but we have not seen anything of the corpse in this seotion. On the contrary new life has been our experience since the election. *%. Co-operation is the farmer’s greatest safe guard. You must stand together, especially in buying and selling. No mat where you live or what you raise, your fellow farmer in Massachusetts has the same interest in common that you have if you live in Georgia. „% Skillful packing and* assorting is one of the secrets of success in getting good prices for farm products. Apples, pota¬ toes, peanuts or anything of that kind must be “picked” in order to command good prices. A few faulty ones among the good ones spoil the sales. From time immemorial the railroads of the country have tried to avoid paying tar. Several in the South are now in the hands of the sheriffs, so to speak. Are they not able to pay tax?

The cleri¬ cal error cannot be rectified until congress again convenes. *% HISTORY OF A TRUST. In 1887 a number of men, mostly Bos¬ tonians, entered into a trust to control the ice busiuess iu the South. They operate in every State except North Carolina. When they began rich operations they they were not quite so as are now. The paid up Today capital it only is said amount¬ their ed to $125,000. check would go for two or three millions. They 000.' are worth in the aggregate $3,600, In other words they have made nearly thirty times as much clear profit as they put into the business five yeur3. ago. Yet the people they have robbed are not all opposed to such business If you say anything against a trust some of these people will call you a “calamity howler,” “communist” or “socialist.”— Exchange. TIIE TRIBUTE WE FAY TO ENGLAND. It does seem strange to me that the American people should be in debt to Emdish money lenders to the amount of $500,000,000 government bonds, $5,10V 000,000 railroad bonds and $3,000,000, 000 municipal bonds, making a grand total of $8,600,000,000. The interest nt as low a rate as 4 per cent, amounts to $345,000,000 annually. This means an jf uiCi fltC GulltilO iJor "irangest each part man, of woman it all is and that child. little The a over 100 years ago the people of the thirteen colonies fought and tiled, and some of them died to establish the right to make money for America without any dictation from the English government. They fought to sever the connection between England and America so far as govern¬ ment is concerned. Again we have the humiliating spec¬ tacle of the President of the United States appointing five persons to go over across the “pond” and ascertain wheth¬ er England and other nations will allow us to take our silver products from our mines and coin it into American money to enable the American people to pay their debts. If England and other na¬ tions say we cannot, then the Amercan people must (?) be content to pay tho debt and interest owing to English money lenders in gold only. How long, think you, will it take for those fellows to get possession of all the gold in the world?—J. C. Yallette, in Cottou Plant. * * * THE CHANCE HAS COME. For the first time iu nearly forty yeirs the democracy finds itself in full posses¬ sion of the government, and with a carte blanche from the people to do what¬ ever it thinks best for the good of the peop'e, says the Anderson, S. C., Adqo cate. For long years the cry bus been, nnd truthfully so, that the democracy has not “had ft chance.” The people have been constantly told that relief would eomo if they would only give the democra's a chance, aud now the people have taken them at their word, and have given them “a chance.” Having waited long years for the republicans to do what they promised iu every campaign to do, but just as often failed to do, the people turned from them in disgust and have placed full power in tho hands of the chance.” democracy, and have given them “a And what a splendid chance it is. It means a chance to give the overburdened pcoplo relief from the grievous burdens that have been fastened about their necks by a party drunk with the lust of power. It means a chance to reform our vicious financial system. It means chance to protect the masses rather than the cla ses. It means a chance to legislate in the interest of tho many as against the few. It means a chance ro check the hands enormous aggregation of wealth in the of a few, while the toiling millions go unrequited. All this it means and a great deal more. Will they improve the chance? We confess that in the light of oast the history we have many misgivings as to result. If they are wise enough to see the opportunity and to secure it, then long years of power await them and the country will have Democratic adminis¬ trations for years to come. The peoplo have become weary of the reckless abuse of power, and the reckless expenditures of public money by tbe party that lias so long been in control of the nation’s af¬ fairs. But if they do not measure up to the nc-ds of the hour and fail to heed the popular demand, then we will not have another Democratic administration, and some other party, born of the neces¬ sities and exigencies of the case, will arise and sweep away those who are faithless to the trust committed to them. We shall see what we shall see. Tho hour has struck and the “chance has come." Wo sincerely hope thoso in power will bo wise enough to use it aright. THE COTTON ACREAGE. A correspondent in tho Progressive Farmer siys: I thiuk it is important to warn tho farmers of tho South against an In created acreage ia cotton this year, I am sure the press of the country could do no better deed than to constant¬ ly urge the farmers to continue to reduce the cotton acreage. If the newspapers would publish articles on reduction of acreage in cotton from now until the planting season is over, a vast amount of good w ould wbuld be accomplished. If tho newspapers do as much now as they teliiug*how did last winter and spring, there is uo many thousands of acres would be cut off from cotton and put in other crops. I am sorry to say the ten¬ dency is, as a general thing, to incroaso the cottou acreage; with an increased acreage and r good crop season, there will probably be ten million millions b lies made, any amount over seven means a very low price for cotton next fall, which will bring ruin and wreck sM suf¬ fering to the Sunny South; on tho other hand, with affiedium crop, say C.O^LOOO, lilflf the price of cotton would very ad¬ vance to 10,ll*nd 12 cents, which would bring decidedly better times, and every business and industry would flourish, the laborer would receive better wages, the farmer would be in¬ fl dependent urish they and the newspapors before. would as never did The Eng lish and New England manufactu¬ rers are growiog rich off of the southern cottou growers, they are curtailing their output or production of manufactured goods, and the result is those goods have plainly been shows advancing since 1890, which does us that cheap cotton not bring us low-pticed manufactured goods. curtail. The Yes, farmer I is the curtail one who the ought to say crop until it is reduced to such proportions that there will be a profit in raising cot¬ ton. Let the leading newspapers of our land urge a reduction in cotton acreage in their weekly issues and request their exchanges, aud they in turn request their exchanges to publish articles ou cotton acreage reduction. The farmers are reading and the about newspa¬ pers now more than ever, the only way to inform them of their 'advices danger is through the press. Private from Texns inform me that that state will plant tor 4,000,000 bales alone. As soon as the farmer is convinced that there will be a large crop planted, and that they cannot afford to take the risk, they will desist from planting so largely. Appeal to the merchants to use their in¬ fluence to cut off the crop of cotton and exercise their power by refusing to make advances on such a large extent aud scale. RELIABLE RECIPES. Mashed Turnips.— Peel one quart ol young turnips, quarter and wash, boil in three quarts of salted water till tender; drain ail water off, mash, and put back to saucepan; add one tablespoon of but¬ ter, solved one in teaspoon of corn starch, dis¬ one cup of cold milk; salt and pepper to taste and boil five minutes longer. \ Exquisite Tea Cakes.— One pound of (dry) flour, three-quarters of a i>ound of butter (from which wash the salt) and ten butter tablespoonfuls into bits, and of cream. Break the flour, rub creJm itithrough I the next add the an mix this quickly and into form a paste. them (by Br-'^k rowing pieces between from your vvM.floured hands) fnto rolls of alir-.-iU jfl fingers ienfftl-aw*. join the two ends ana twist to form crossed Sue figure 8, pinching it where it to make it shaped, stay together. Place them as fast as upon a buttered pan, brush ovei the top with melted butter and sprinkle them with brown cinnamon. Creamed Codfish: Take enough codfish (I prefer the boneless codfish which comes in packages) to make three cupfuls. Wash it well, squeezing it per¬ fectly dry. Pour over it a teacupful of cold water, and let soak five or six hours (over night if wanted for break¬ fast). Place to boil in this water, and add a pint of cream or rich milk. Let it just reach the boiling point. Have ready two teaspoonfuls of butter rubbed into one teaspoon ful of flour, and a beaten egg to which you have added a teaspoonful of water. First add the but¬ ter and flour, and as soon as it begins to the simmer, beaten remove it from the fire, and add little egg, stirring briskly. Add a pepper. Pour into a deep platter, and serve with a border of either boiled or steamed potatoes. Creamed Codfish with Eggs: Prepare the codfish as above. Ton minutes be¬ fore serving put as many eggs as you wish (half a dozen, more or less) into a ing quart cup or basin, cover them with boil¬ water, and let them stand, but not boil, for ten minutes. During this time have the fish transferred to a hot platter; drain the eggs when done, cover them with cold water, carefully remove the shells, and lay them here and there over the fish. Codfish Stew: A teacupful of flaked fish, soaked ten minutes in cold water and squeezed until dry. Simmer in a pint of water for five minutes. Add first a rubbed tablespoon each of butter aud flour, tablespoonfuls together; next two eggs and two of cream, after taking from the fire. Pepper to taste. Broiled Codfish: Select a piece and soak Wipe over night as for the boiled fish. for dry, and broil it over clear coals about ten minutes. Place it on a hot dish, score or gash it lightly with a very with sharp knife, and spread it generously butter. It makes a very excellent supper dish if put to soak at noon. Choctaw Executions. The Choctaws are famous for theit style of executing criminals. They shoot murderers,and thieves, too, after tho third theft. Under the primitive Choctaw rules, when a man had been sentenced to death, he was turned over to his friends, who gave bond for him. The condemned man went anout his usual business, settled up bis affairs, and on the day set for execution came to town, bought a coffin, and took it to the court ground where the sheriff and the sheriff’s men awaited him. Then if the man about to die was right nervy, he tried his coffin to sec if it would fit, arose and crowed, to let his friends kuow that he was not afraid. A chalk mark was made over the man’s heart, he knelt on a blanket before his coffin, and the sheriff’s depu¬ ties made an end of his life with their rifles. This honorable style of execution has fallen into disrepute though since the Choctaws have become learned iu the civilized ways of the white men. The last two or three condemned men they turned loose never came back. They put them in jail now ponding the shooting. —[Kansas City Times. CRUELTY to animal*.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD Wlilch lloutM'kreprrH S|»uU Karneetly Consider. A serious danger menacos the health of the people of this country in the nu¬ merous aluin baking powders that aro now being urged upon the public. There is no question a3 to the detri¬ mental cflect of these powders upon the system. Every Board of Health, every phys.cian, will toll theyfpad yo^ftf the unwhole tome qualities to the food. Some countries have absolutely pro¬ hibited the sale of bread containing alum. -* Even small doses of alum, given to children, while^ca4fe havqfl^oducel hantburn, fatal indigestion, results, gripi^flp constipdiU, or vanctWumdaed dyspepsia, ami irritatiaAnAtthe gastric troubles from byUT mucous membrane, caused continuous use of food prepared with the alum or aium-phos phate powders, physicidP. are familiar in the prac¬ tice of every It is not possible that any prudent housewife, any loving mother, will knowingly use an article of food that will injure the health of her household, or perhaps cause the death of her chil¬ dren. How shall the dangerous alum powders be distinguished? Aud how shall the danger to health from their use be avoided? Generally, alum powders may be known from the price at which they are sold, or Irom the fact that they are accom¬ panied by a gift, are disposed of under some scheme. The alum powder coBts but a lew cents a pound to make, and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound. If some present is given with it, the price may be 30, 40 or 50 cents a pound. It is impossible to name all the alum powders powder in the market, but any baking sold at a low price, or adver¬ tized as costing only half as much as cream of tartar powders, accompanied by a present, or disposed of under any scheme, is of this class, detrimental to health, and to be avoided. But the easy, sale, aud certain protec¬ tion of our bread, biscuit aud cake from all danger of unwholesomeuess is iu the use of the Royal Baking Powder only. This powder is meutioned because of the innumerable reports in its favor by high medical authorities, by the U. S. Gov¬ ernment, and by the official chemists and Boards of Health, whicn leave no doubt m to its entire freedom from alum, lime and ammonia, its absolute purity and wholesomeness. While its use is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders it is satisfactory at the same time to know that it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which will keep moist and fresh longer, and that can be eaten with im¬ munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and slso that owing to its greater strength U is more economical than others. These facts should inoline consumers to tnrn a deaf ear to all importunities to buy the inferior powder. If a grocer urges the sale of the cheap, impure, alum brands, it should be borne in mind that it is because he can make more profit on them.

But when the health flags a little, and liberties are taken with the stomach or tho nervous system, a chill is easily taken, and according to the weak spot of the individual assumes the form of a cold or pneumonia, or it may be jaundice. Of all cases of “cold” probably fatigue is one of the most effi¬ cient. A jaded man coming at night from a long day’s work, a growing youth losing two hours sleep over evening week, par¬ ties two or three times a or a young lady “doing tho season,” and over-fed children with a short allowance of sleep, are common instances of the vice tims of cold.
