THE TRIBUNE JOB OFFICE,
Green-eyed prejudice, thou art
a jewel.
The New York pastor who raked
in over five thousand dollars last
year from wedding fees evidently
doesn’t consider marriage a fail¬
ure.
Chairman Butler has called a
meeting of the populist national
executive committee at Omaha
June 12, and the N. R. P. A. will
meet in that city June 10 and 11.
If the “bosses” think they can
silence The Tribune by their vile
epithets they are sadly mistaken.
They might as well try to appease
their appetites by rubbing a beef¬
steak across their little stomachs.
There is no difference between
the man that would try to slander
the good name of another behind
a mini do plume, and one that
would attempt to assassinate his
follow man. using the darkness of
the night to accomplish his hellish
deed.
» •—
s 5 we do not
intend to be buldozed into nban-
doxting of the principles t set
any
forth by Ine populists in their
state and national platforms. We
believe our demands are right and
just, and we intend to contend for
them in the face of all opposition.
“How the taxpayers of Floyd
county have been unmercifully
bled by the ringsters;” “officers of
Floyd hold illegal funds,” is the
caption of a front page article in
the Romo Tribune of May 12. Had
a populist paper made the above
charge, Bome little dem-
ocratic hireling would have stood
up on his hind legs and yelled “an¬
archy,” “drunk, ’ “trying to array
tlu- country against the town,” and
every other vile epithet that could
be mustered up by a diseased mind.
In a recent convention the pop¬
ulists of Cleburne county Alaba¬
ma nominated that staunch popu¬
list war-horse, William *M. Evans,
for the office of prebate judge. Mr.
Evans is an intelligent andbroad-
minded man, and has the true
terests of the people at. heart. lie
is a man that will not be guided
by mercenary motives, but will
strive for the elevation of man¬
kind and a better government.
“Will,” here’s success to you at
the polls in the August election;
and it The Tribune can do any¬
thing for you command us.
“OPPOSITION” AGAIN. :*
An editorial in The Tribune
May/’G seems to'have struck
whtjle crew of our honored
contemporary in the pit of their
little stomachs, as they have been
pawing the ground and twisting
their tails like a herd of bovine*
in fly time ever since.
Well, the article referred to
above was written with our eves
fully open and ears burning with
the facts that brought it out,
fresh from the lips of as good a
democrat—not a populist, mind
you—cs the county of Haralson
contains, and if Mr. Hip will
tho trouble to call around at
office, and will lond us his
tine ears a moment we will
quaint him with some other
facts, which, no doubt, he
be surprised to learn that we
in possession of—all of which
will use at the propo# and
time.
We give due and timely
here and now that we ref use
back down or.e iota from our
torial remarks of May 6.
lings may yell “arraying the
try against the town,” drunk” and
“anarchist” until they are
in the face; it will have no
for us, for we will always be found
with the burning facts close at
hand that will sustain us in any
and all our charges.
But the big “bugger” with 'em
is, we are a populist, and that we
are trying to run a populist paper
in Buchanan! We want to in¬
form all such opponents that ve
intend to stick to the old populist
ship until she sails tc victory un¬
der the (lag of “equal rights to all
and special favors to none,” or is
consigned to the bottom of the
sea along with her brave and
dauntless crew. When she goes
down we will lie found fighting on
her decks with our hands on our
guns, sending shot and shell into
the rotten hulks of the two old
parties. When the waves rollover
us, and it is impossible to fight
longer, we will send blubbers of
defiance up from the bottom.
If to bo true to the cause of pop¬
ulism, which is the cause of suffer¬
ing humanity, is to perpetuate dis¬
sension and bring down upon us
the denunciation of a few little
hirelings, then do your worst!
“Lay on, McdutV, and damned be
he who first cries, hold! enough !!”
We are on to the plans of these
mullet-l eaded fellows—now let
them execute its details if they
esn ! On with the dance!
THE LION AND THE ASS.
No doubt every reader of The
Tribune has, at some time or
other, read Easop’s Fables, and in
it where it says that a lion once
took a fancy to hunt in company
with an ass. He sent the ass into
the forest and told him to bray
there as loud as ho could. “By
that means,” saul he, “you will
arouse nil the beasts of the for-
ests. I will stand here and catch
all that pass this way.”
The ass brayed in lm most hid¬
eous manner; and when the lion
was tired of slaughter he called to
him to conn out of the woods,
“Did _ I . not do m v part well?” ..... ask-
ed the conceited beast. ‘•Excel-
lently well,” remarked the lion.
Wad I not known that you were
nothing but an ass I should have
been frightened my«ell.”
So with those who are brsying
at iThb Tribune, haitwe not kmjwn
that the animals were in fhe woods
we might have been frightened at
tho sounds emitted last week from
that weekly jordon across the way.
All the democratic ring-masters
have got to do is to give his tail a
gentle twist, and the animal will
do the rest.
AN APPRECIATED ENDORSE¬
MENT.
W. W. Wilson, editor of that
staunch friend of the people, the
Plow Boy, published at Buford,
Ga., in commenting on an editorial
which appeared in The Tribune of
May6, that kinder stirred up tho
animals hereabouts, says:
“Bravo! Bravo!! brother. You
are =‘ m y sort” of a reformer. Such
as “ye, are the salt of the earth.”
To such as you the world will
some day owe its redemption, if it
is ever redeemed, and it must be.
The morals, the virtues liberty
and freedom ; yea, Christianity it¬
self, will some day crown your
memory with laurels. Haa it not
been for the enemies that Christ
made, while on earth, there would
be no Christianity. It was He.
who though born in a stable among
the cattle and bundled into a feed
trough, finally conquered all op¬
position; it was He who drove the
money changers—the usurers—
from tho temple. It was He who
■went among the lowly for a follow¬
ing. He never hunted Up the rich
men of the world that he might
live oil the fat of the land (yellow
legged chickens) but went about
among the poor and lowly, H<
even chose his disciples from the
lower classes. And he knew, of
the twelve there was a devil
among them. So, a reformer of
today need not be surprised to find
a few cowards among those with
whom he chooses to associate.
Many started out with you, but
when “the cock crew” (the bosses
spoke) they denied the faith. And
these are worse to be dreaded than
an open enemy. We hare in our
mind a man who once represented
Gwinett county in a populist state
convention and said harder things
of the enemies of reform than you
cr I ever did, who today is cheek
by jowl with the “men who con¬
trol” and never lets an opportun¬
ity pass without casting a reflection
upon those with whom he once as¬
sociated and the cause to which
he once pledged his allegiance.
Enemies without are hard enough
for reformers to combat, but ene¬
mies within are more than could
be withstood by Christ. One of
His own choosing betrayed Him
for “30 pieces of silver.” And in
this boss-ridden day you need not
be surprised to be betrayed for 30
coppers. But we are proud to be
able to say that very few have de-
Berted the cause of reform in the
last movement. Only those who
aie lost to honor and shame, or
those who are absolutely poverty
stricken and thereby compelled to
bow to bossism, have proven
treacherous . to , the ,, cause, rpi. inese
