FUSION PLAN
NOT APPROVED
Address Issued To Populists of
the United States.
MEETING HELD IN KANSAS CITY
Populists Are Urged To Stand By
the niddle=of-the~Road Faction.
Butler Idea Denounced.
At the joint meeting of the populist
national organization committee and
National Reform Press association at
Kansas City the past week, an address
to populists of the United States was
formulated and issued.
The address urges a thorough or¬
ganization of the middle-of-the-road¬
ers in every section of the country,
with the understanding that they shall
enter the next national raimpaign with
the present populist organization, but
that wherever fusion shall gain the
day, whether in county, state or na¬
tional convention, the middle-of-the
roaders shall bolt and begin an active
campaign to carry out their princi¬
ples.
The alleged fusionist tendencies of
Marion Butler, chairman of the popu¬
list national, committee, are provided
against, in a clause which authorizes
the national organization committee
to call a convention if they shall be
convinced that the national chairman
or the national committee is ploying
into the hands of the fusionist,fi. The
address of the committee, in substance,
is as follows:
“Chat the voters of tiro nation .may
feel assured that the people’s party
shall not again he betrayed iu nation¬
al convention or its working forces
passed into tiro hands of the enemy,
ami to inspire confidence among the
masses in the integrity of onr acts and
sincerity of our demands for inde¬
pendent action as a party, we-rdspect
fally submit to the populists of the
nation the following plan of action:
“1. That the national organization
committee hereby instructs its chair¬
man to proceed with the formation of
people’s party precinct clubs in all tlie
states on the plan recommended by
the Cincinnati convention of Septem¬
ber, 1898, or some relative plan, and
to appoint in each state not having
members already selected three mem¬
bers of the national organization com¬
mittee, and with the assistance and
advice of these committeemen to select
a state organization committee of the
same number of members as the then
existing state committee, and through
these committeemen to organize as far
as possible organization committees in
congressional districts, counties and
votiug precincts. Wherever it is posi¬
tively known that those members of
national, state and other committees
now existing are unqualifiedly opposed
to fusion with either of the old parties
and for independent, straightforward
action by the people’s party, they are
to be selected as members of the sev¬
eral organization committees.
“2. It shall be the duty of the sev¬
eral committees to use all honorable
means to secure tlie selection of dele
gates to the various conventions lead¬
ing up to the nomination of the presi¬
dential convention iu 1900, who are
opposed to fusion and, failing in this,
to provide for and send contesting
delegates to the several conventions.
That is to say, if those who are oppos¬
ed to fusion are unfairly or dishonor¬
ably treated iu the county convention
they shall send a delegation to con¬
tent the seats of the fusion delegation
in the state convention.
“If the state convention is controll¬
ed iu the interest of the fusion and
against an honorable and straightfor¬
ward people’s party policy, as soon as
this is determined the middle-of-the
road delegations shall leave the con¬
vention and send a contesting delega¬
tion from the state to the national
convention. Should tlie national con¬
vention be controlled by straight
populists, all delegates sent under this
plan shall feel themselves in honor
bound to nominate a%d those candidates
for president vice-president by the
referendum vote, provided in the
judgment of the national organization
•committee there shall have been suffi
cieut organization to make such a vote
both practicable and representative of
tlie will of the party.
“Should the national convention of
1900 be controlled iu the interest of
‘fusion,’the straight delegation shall
leave said convention and join the con¬
testing plan in delegations straight sent under this and
a convention,
then carry out the will of the popul¬
ists of the nation without' regard to
the ‘fusion’ convention.
“In this case the national organiza¬
tion committee and the several state,
district and country precinct commit¬
tees organized under this plan Bhall
be recognized as the only committee
having authority in the affairs of the
people’s party.
THE RECORD.
DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OP JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA.
WRIGHTSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1899.
If it should so occur that the na¬
tional committee fail to issue the call
for a national people’s party conven¬
tion within tluo time in the discretion
of the national organization commit¬
tee, said organization committee shall
then proceed to issue a call for a na¬
tional convention.
We offer this plan of action know¬
populist ing that it will (1st)’ show to every
that we are willing to remain
in good fellowship with our “fusion”
brethren, with whom we have differed
in the past in accepting distasteful al¬
legiance with the enemies of the peo¬
ple’s party; provided they will, with
us, stand squarely on the original
principles of the party and the line of
action intended by its founders, who
declared at Omaha, in 1892, that the
two old partios were jointly responsi¬
ble for the miseries of the people and
the unjust legislation which oppressed
them; (2nd), if they lefuse to do so,
that we wish them to know that we cm
go with them no further, preferrim
to adhere to the grand principle;
of untainted populism than lo truth
in those tacred principles for persona
or We political advancement and gain.

populist voters who have found them¬
selves in the past forced to vote for
candidates not, in sympathy with each
demand of the people’s party platform,
and urge them to diligently work in
the future to avert any repetition of
such complications.
We recommend that an earnest effort
to carry out the request for the refer¬
endum vote asked for by the Cincin¬
nati convention ho made, so that the
idlest expression on the question may
he obtained.
In order that states using the Na¬
tional Precinct Referendum club sys
ems of parly government may be made
most effective, we recommend that
these clubs be prepared to vote on na¬
tional candidates and other questions
between October 1st, 1899, and Jan¬
uary l.st, 1900, and send tabulated
vote of same by states to Hon. Milton
Park, chairman national organization
committee, J lull as, Texas, who, as
soon as practicable, shall certify na¬
tional results of same to the public.

Brasses for the Pasture.
No one grass is best suited for tlie
permanent pasture. A judicious mix¬
ture litis always been found to give
the best results. A mixture of a few
good grasses and many weeds is not
the kind referred vo, but a proper mix¬
ture of well-tested grass plants. Nearly
all grass mixtures that we purchase
at the seedsman’s arc* supposed to be
mixed with an eye single to the best
interests of the farmers, but personally
I prefer to mix my own grass seeds.
It is not at all strange that the seeds¬
men should scant a little ou the va¬
rieties that cost the most.
The best varieties of grass for good,
all-round, permanent pastures aie the
common blue grass, orchard grass or
meadow fescue. Probably they pro¬
duce foliage with more of the food¬
making elements in them than any
others. That Is, they are rich in potein,
and gluten. As the grasses must large¬
ly decide the condition of the cows,
they are called upon to supply flesh,
muscle, blood, skiu, hair and tendons.
Fat is unnecessary. We can lay on fat
enough with the grains when we want
to top them off for market, Mean
while, they must have blood, muscle,
and fleshmaking food. They must also
get most of this from the grass on
which they are pastured most of the
growing season.
Kentucky blue grass is largely used
for pasture fields, but as a rule It is
so slow in furnishing good, permanent
pastures that it should occupy only a
secondary consideration in the mix¬
ture. Its catch is less certain than any
of the others, and it really does not
furnish good grazing until five or six
years.
Orchard grass probably gives the
quickest and best results of any, and
in any mixture it should occupy a high
pereeutuge. In from twelve to four
teen months it supplies a good pasture.
Moreover, it catches readily on a great
-variety of soils v It will also thrive in
all sorts of weather. Neither the heat,
dry spells, cold and freezing will not
dislodge it after its roots once get es¬
tablished. But on account of the more
permanent character of the Kentucky
blue grass I think it would be a mis¬
take to use all orchard grass and none
of-tlie latter.
On a good soil where seeding is ob¬
served occasionally a permanent pas¬
ture land ought to be kept flourishing
for upwards of twenty years. Besides
seeding occasionally iu poor places, the
land should be enriched occasionally
with top dressings of manure. Close
cropping should never be permitted.—

tor.

Unde Ik© yn the Heresy of Herron.
A'os, your theme, “Old Time Religion,"
had a mighty pleasant sound.
Cut in Uncle iltc'.s opinion there’s but lit¬
tle to be found
In our tine, new-fangled churches, with
their velvet-covered pews,
And their sermons made to order, like
the rich man’s coat and shoes.
And you say Prof. Herron might have
done a lot o’ good
If he'd preached ohl-tlme religion, warn¬
in’ sinners as lie should,
'Stid o’ harping ’bout our nation gob¬
blin’ up the Philippines,
And about the vile oppressions practiced
by our men ol' “means.”
And you say, “he might have reckoned
that he’d turn up in the lurch.
For it takes a pile o’ money to support
the People’s church
So the trustees had to stop hltn for the
sake of revenue.
Not because his pulpit message wasn’t
able, strong, and true.
Now, about “old-time religion,” parson, 1
had always thought
That the ancient prophets preached 11,
but It seems that you tliluk not;
For they thundered at their nation ami
rebuked it lor Us wrongs
Jlst as often as they blessed it in their
patriotic songs.
And somehow I always reckoned that the
good Apostle James
Preached the good, old-time religion, but
the shameless way he blames
Wealthy nabobs for oppressln’ and for
keepin’ wages back,
He was jlst as bad as Herron, if not
furder off the track.
And I thought that Jesus preached It In
Ills sermon on the mount,
But accordin’ to your thlukln’ his plain
gospel didn’t count.
For It riled the wealthy rulers and the
big religious boss
Called the church trustees together and
they nailed him to the cross.
—George McA. Miller in Chicago Journal.
Must Pay Overtime.
A decision regarded as tending to
change the relations of employer and
employe in the commercial center of
Chicago was announced the other day
by Judge Dunne in the suit brought by
Robert L. Retd against Henry C. I.yt
ton, proprietor of the Hub clothing
store, for the recovery of wages al¬
leged to be due for work performed
after business hours. Reid was em¬
ployed as a salesman from August,
1894, to July, 1895, at $11 a week, Ills
hours being settled before his employ¬
ment in the store. When he ceased
working for the firm Reid demanded
pay for overtime, which was refused by
his employers. Suit was begun and a
verdict awarding to Reid $84.72 was
returned by the jury. In overruling the
motion for a new trial and entering
Judgment oil the verdict Judge Dunne
held that where a contract for a fixed
number of hours of labor existed an
employe was entitled to pay for over¬
time. The case was argued by Attor¬
ney G. S. Baker, representing the
plaintiff. In making his ruling Judge
Dunne said: "The defendant in tlie
case at the bar recognized the value
of the time of the plaintiff by docking
him 25 cents for being two minutes
late. Why not compensate him for his
extra labor in hours outside of the time
specified in the contract? Labor is the
only commodity that a great propor¬
tion of the community has to sell. Why
should not the same rule apply to i:
as to merchandise? The court knows
of no reason to the contrary.” After
citing a case in the Maine courts which
held that acceptance of payment for a
day’s labor was no bar to a claim for
labor performed nights and Sundays,
except in the case of agricultural serv¬
ants and persons employed by the
month, Judge Dunne said: “The doc¬
trine above cited commends itself to
the judgment and conscience of this
court. All the extra labor performed
by the plaintiff for the defendant was
performed at night and without the
hours specified in the contract, after
the store was closed—some of it in all
night vigils—and the court can sec no
Just reason and recognize no rule of
law which deprives him of compensa¬
tion therefor.”
Mirrpr Sinking Industry,
The mirror making industry in the
United States employs more than 2,000
persons, and the product is valued at
about $8,000,000 a year. The process is
thus described: The* first step in the
manufacture is the adjustment of a
smooth stone table. Around this ta¬
ble, which can be canted to one side
by means of a set screw beneath, Is a
groove, in which mercury flows from
one corner Into the bowls. The table
Is made perfectly level; then tinfoil
is carefully laid over it, covering a
greater space than the glass to be
coated. The metal is then poured upon
the foil till it is nearly a quarter of
an inch deep, being prevented from
flowing off by strips of glass placed
along three sides of the foil. From the
open side is slid on the plate of glass,
whose advancing edge Is kept in the
mercury, so that no air, floating oxide
of the metal, or other impurities can
work in between the glass and the
clear surface of the mercury.
When its desired position has been
reached it is held until one edge of the
has been raised and the superflu¬
mercury has run off. It is left for
hours, and then placed upon a
the “back” by this time being
with the amalgam, which ad¬
to it. After the amalgam be¬
hard the plate is ready for use
Iron and Steel Kxports.
Additional evidence that everywhere
the Pittsburg district Industries are
and wages are going up is
by James C. Gray, constructing
of the Ohio Steel company, at
Mr. Gray stated that a
of blast furnaces in and about
Youngstown that have been idle for
years have been purchased, and are
to be put in operation, and that
the mills there are running to their
fullest capacity day and night, He
that the present prosperity in the
iron and steel industry rests on a solid
basis, and It will last for a long time.
Asked whether the general increase
in prices would not have the effget of
wrecking the export trade, he said:
are producing iron and steel so
much cheaper than any other country
in the world that prices can be put up
still farther without any danger of
cutting off our foreign markets. Of
course It Is well known that with all
mills working at their full capac¬
ity, and depending only on home con¬
sumption. the market would soon be
overstocked; but there is no fear that
prices will be forced up to exceed the
limit at which foreign buyers would
call a halt. Only a day or two ago
.London and Northwestern road of
placed a big order with one of
our great mills. And then we are
likely to get a good deal of business
our new possessions. Before long
—at least that is my opinion—ship
loads of American rails, locomotives,
cars and structural iron will be eu
route to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil¬
ippines. Yankee enterprise will make
things hum in those islands, you can
depend upon that.”
With regard to the action of con¬
gress in reducing the price of armor
plate to $300 per ton, Mr. Gray said:
“It will do great injury to that indus¬
try in this country. The first cost of
plate plants is so enormous that
the business cannot be carried on at
a profit at the rate of $300 per ton for
finished product. It would be dif¬
ferent , if the government would con¬
tract with the armor plate manufac¬
concerns covering a period of,
ten years.”-—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Chapel in a Coal Mine.
Few places of worship in the country
have more Interest than the Miners’
In the Myndd Newyyd (New
colliery, near Swansea. Sit¬
750 feet below the surface of the
with four rows of pibwood to
sustain the roof, a rude desk on a
large lump of coal for a pulpit and a
of rough-hewn planks as "pews,”
it is Indeed the strangest of the many
bethels in wild Wales.
Every Monday morning without a
break for fifty-four years the colliers
crowded into the novel apartment
to ask the blessing of Providence upon
the week’s work.
To the eldest miner present the con¬
duct of the service is customarily in¬
trusted, but properly ordained divines
have not infrequently descended into
the mine before the Monday’s “turn”
has commenced, and the whitewashed
walls of the little chapel have resound¬
ed with that Celtic ferver which
Welshmen speak of as the hywl (which
no irreverent Saxon should pronounce
as howl).
One motto there is painted near the
pulpit: "Os nos heb ddlm ser nid nos
heb Ddmv deyruasa lau wadnaw Myn
ydd Curlog.” Freely Interpreted, that
is: “If it is night without stars, it is
not night without God, for he reigneth
under the foundations of the moun¬
tain.”
Whether it be ascribed to good luck,
to good management or the responsive
protection of Providence, it is a fact
that for the last half century Mynydd
Newydd colliery has been singularly
fi^e from serious accidents.
The colliery is owned by Vivian &
Sons, and the late Lord Swansea did
much to encourage the devotional ex¬
ercises In the pit.—London Leader.
A Woman Kxecntioner.
A few years ago the official execu¬
tioner at Brussels died, and a substitute
was temporarily appointed, says Tit
Bits. On one occasion this person was
ill and unable to attend. But at the
appointed hour a stout, middle-aged
woman presented herself at the cen¬
tral police station and quietly remarked
to the assembled functionaries: “I’ve
for the execution. My husband is
not very well this morning, and has
asked me to take his place. Please let
us get to business.” The general stu¬
pefaction may be more easily imag¬
ined than described, which, being no¬
ticed by the would-be lady executioner,
she added, in a reassuring tone: “Oh,
thi3 is not by any means the first
time.” ft afterward transpired that
the woman, whose name was Marie
Rege, had officiated on several occa¬
in lieu of her husband. Dressed
in his clothes and her face masked,
had been the public executioner at
executions, and never had the
been interrupted by a sin¬
gle hitch. v i. • .

The Proper Thiug in Skills.
Skirts are all clinging from the knees
up and flare about the feet, but are not
cut in genuine eel-skin style either by
leading French modistes or tailors of
highest repute. The prevailing mode,
which is circular either with a gored
front or cut all in one with the single
seam at the back, sets snugly to tlie
figure and adheres to its lint's, as good
styles should do, but only in rare in¬
stances does it run to the extreme of
appearing so tight as to render both
walking and sitting a difficult task,
while few if any well-dressed women
consent to that length of front which
means awkward movement, if not ac¬
tual danger. As a well-known modiste
who eaters to the wealthy and exclu¬
sive asserts, “many things are extreme¬
ly fashionable that are little worn.”
Freedom, grace, and beauty have be¬
come too well understood to allow any
such hampering fashion full sway. Wo.
men of sense and judgment wear what
they prefer, and modify “the latest out”
to their own tastes and needs. Only
upon the stage do we see the edicts ad¬
hered to without moderation. Real life
is too active, too full of daily demands
to permit a surrender of common sense
and utility. Education along artistic
lines has become too common to allow
the mistake of believ.ng that any fash¬
ion can be good that interferes with
natural grace or necessitates a cramped
and restricted walk.
As a rule the skirts flare in graceful,
undulating waves about tlie feet, and
those designed for street wear just es¬
cape the ground at the front. But it
must be confessed racy ate frequenciy
sliglitl.v trained, although a sufficient
number barely touch to allow of refus¬
ing to do scavenger’s work without the
risk of being outre or pronounced, and
of reserving greater length for indoor
and carriage gowns, where it is effec¬
tive in tlie extreme. While tunics are
much worn and are graceful upon tall,
slender women, the plain skirt either
bound with braid or stitched as a finish
still holds, and is even preferred for
these gowns of steady use. The circu¬
lar flounce, while not new, is seen, but
the simple model is preferred and far
more generally becoming, as the great¬
er number of women require all the ef¬
fect of height it is possible to obtain.
Tlie tall girls who tower over their
1 tale friends, although apparently in¬
creasing in number, make the small
minority as yet, and those ideal figures
whose proportions are perfect are seen
far more often in fashion plates than
in real life.—The New Voice.
Music in Everything.
Tlie chief industry of Genova is the
manufacture of musical boxes. Thou¬
sands of men, women and children are
employed in the factories, one of which
was visited by a traveler, who gives
some interesting particulars about his
visit.
An attendant Invited him to take a
seat. He did so, and strains of delight¬
ful music came from the chair. He
hung his hat on a rack and put liis
stick iu tlie stand. Music came from
both rack and stand. lie wrote his
name in tlie visitors’ register, and on
dipping his pen into tlie ink music
burst forth from tlie inkstand.
Tlie manager of the factory ex¬
plained the process of making musical
boxes, a business which requires pati¬
ence and nicety. The different parts
are made by men who are experts iu
those parts, and who do nothing else,
year in and year out.
The music is marked on the cylinder
by a man who lias served several years
of apprenticeship; Another man in¬
serts in tlie marked places pegs which
have been filed to a uniform length.
The comb, or sot of teeth, which
strikes the pegs and makes the sound,
is aranged by a man who does nothing
else. The cylinder is then revolved,
to see that every peg produces a prop¬
er tone.
TIk- most delicate work of all is tlie
revising of each peg. It is done by a
workman who has a good ear for
music. lie sees that every peg is in
its proper place and is limit at the cor¬
rect angle. When the instrument-is
in its case, an expert examines it to
see that the time is perfect.—New York
