OPINIONS BOLDLY EXPRESSED.
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.”

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

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

$500,000,000 government bonds, $5,10V
000,000 railroad bonds and $3,000,000,

THE CHANCE HAS COME.
For the first time iu nearly forty yeirs

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

drain the eggs when done, cover them

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.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD

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

Some countries have absolutely pro¬
hibited the sale of bread containing
alum.

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. The wise housekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.

Taking Cold.
A person in good health with fair play
easily resists cold. 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. Luxury is favorable to th,
chill taking; very hot rooms, soft chairst
feather beds create a sensitiveness tha,
leads to catarrh. It is not, after alls
the cold that is so much to be feared a
the antecedent condition that gives the
attack a chance of doing harm. Some
of do the worst leave colds their happen to those their who
net house or even
bed, and those who are most invulner¬
able are often those who are most expos¬
ed to change of temperature, and who
by good sleep, cold bathing and regular"
habits preserve the tone of their nervous
system and circulation.

called it psorasls, some eczema, some salt

but none did me a particle of good. I spent all
my spare money trying to get relief. Finally
I was persuaded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
After using one and a half bottles I saw the
benefit. I have now used the third bottle and
am completely cured. I received more
