Mrs. Ham seemed to accept the simile of

to insert buds carefully cut from the boughs.
Finally be remarked, as carelessly as if talk

Well, I half wish Sol Uantrings sloop had

spectacles in their tin case, which she closed
with a decided snap. "Such a little speck of

"I don't see how Sol Mantling was to know

"That Tramluy gal won't give him the

"Mebbe she ain't as smart as some, but that
family, through an through, has got sense
enough to know what's worth bavin' when
they see it. She needn't ever expect to come
back here to board for tuo summer, if she

.Then both old people laughed, and went Into
the house, and talked of all sorts of things
that bore uo relation whatever to youth or
love or New York. They retired early, after
the manner of farm people in geueral, after
a prayer contaiuiug a formal mid samowhat
indefinite petition for the abseut one The
old lady lay awoke for hours, it seemed to
her, her head as full of rosy dreams as if it

by hearing her husband whisper:

CHAPTER X.
AGMCS DINDX'S PARTT.
.'IROUGH several
ys cpent listlessly
V except when dole
fully, and through
several restless
nights, Philip Hayn
was assisted by one
hope that changed
only to brighten; it
was that nearer
ami nearer came
the uiglit of (be
party to which Miss
Agnes Oinon bad
invited him the
Kirty at which be
was sure he would
again meet Lucia. Except for the blissful in
cideut of the arrested drive on the avenue, be
hadjnot seen her since the evening when he
bad raised her hand to his lips. How the
thought of that moment sent the blood leap
ing to his owu finger tipsl He had haunted
the avenue every afternoon, not daring to
hope that t he carnace would again be stopped
m its course, bnt that at least he might see
her passing fare.
As quick as a flash that day bis eye, trained
in country fashion to first identify approach
ing riders by their horses, hail scanned the
animals that drew the carriage, so that he
might know luetu wben next be saw tbem.
But again and again was be disappointed, for
spans on which be would have staked his repu
tation as being the same were drawing car
riages that did not contain toe face he sought.
He might have been snared many beart siuk -
ings, as well as doubts uf bis horse lure, had
be known that the Tram lays did not keep a
torn out. but bad recourse to a livery stable
when they wanted to drive.
He had even sought I -ucia at church, lis
had known, since the family's summer at
Haynton, the name of the church w liicb tbey
attended, and thither he wended his way
Sunday morning, but their w was appar
ently farther bark tlian the seal to which be
was shown, for uot one menilwr of the Tram
lay family could be see in front or to eilher
side of him, mid when the crvice ended and
be reached tbe sidewalk as rapidly as possible
be soon learned tbat tbe custom of rural
young men to stand in front of churches to
see the wnrshijrs emerge was nut followed
at fashionable templns in the city
Another comforting hope, which wassooner
lost in full fruition, was in taeearly arrival of
his dress suit Fully arrayed, he spent many
hours before the mirror in bis room at the
hotel, endeavoring to look like some of tbe
gentlemen whom be had seen at tbe Tramlay
reception, little though he admired Marge
on general prinriplca, he did not liewtate to
conform himself as nearly as pomble to that
gentleman's splendid composure. Strolling
into a theatre ono evening on a "general ad
mission" ticket, which entitled him to tbe
privilege of leaning against a wall, be saw
quite a number of men in evening dress, and
be improved the opportunity to study the
comparative effects of different styles of col
iars and shirt fronts. Finally be ventured to
appear at the theatre in evening dress him
self, and from tbe lack of sjwcial attention be
justly flattered himself thai he did not carry
himself unlike other men. He also made tbe
important discovery that Judge Hickman
custom of buttoning his swallow tailed coat
at the waist, and displaying a yellow silk
handkerchief in the fullness thereof, bad been
abandoned in the metropolis
At last the long hoped for ovening arrived
end Phil was fully dressed and unrumforta
ble before sunset. He bait already learned,
by observation, that well dressed men kept
their faces closely shaved, and be had ex
perimented, not without an inward groan at
bis extravagance, in what to him were the
mysteries of hair dressing He ventured into
the streets as soon as darkness had fairly
fallen, made his way to tbe vicinity of the
Dtnou residence, and from a safe distance
reconnoitered tbe bouse with tbe purpose
quite as common in the country as In town.
of not being among the earliest arrivals. So
long did be watcb without . seeing even a
single person or carriage approach the door
tbat there came to him the horrible fear tbat
perhaps for some reason the affair bad been
postponed. About 0 o'clock, however, bi
gaze was rewarded by a single carriage; an
other followed shortly, and soverai others
came in rapid succession, so a quarter of an
hour later be made bis own entry On this
occasion he was not unable to translate the
instructions, as to tbe locality of tbe gentle
men's dressing room, imparted by the serv
aut at the door, but, having reached tbe
general receptacte of coats, hats and sticks,
be was greatly puzzkd to know why a num
ber of gentlemen were standing about doing
nothin;
By tbe time he learned that most of them
were merely waiting for thoir resjiective
feminine charges to descend with them, a
clock in tbe room struck ten, and as Phil
counted the strokes and remembered bow
often he bad been half roused from his first
doze, beneath his bed clothes at home by just
that number, be yawned by force of habit
and half wished be never bad loft Haynton.
But suddenly drowsiness, melancholy and
everything else uncomfortable disappeared
in an instant, and heaven P'-M's own, new
est heaven enveloped the e . tli, for as uu
followed two" or three bachelors who on
going down stairs be heard a well known
voice exclaiming:
"Oh, Pbill Isn't this nice! Just as if you'd
been waiting for met 1 haven't any escort
to-night, so you'll have to take me down.
Papa will drop in later, after he's tired of the
club."
Ob, the music in tbe rustle of her dress as
It trailed down the stair! Oh, tbe gold of
her hair, tbe flush of ber cheek, the expect
ancy in her eye and her parted lipsl And
only twenty steps tn which to have it all to
himself 1 Would they bad been twenty thou
sandl -
At tbe foot of the stair Lucia took. Phil's
arm, and together they saluted their hostess.
Phil felt that he was being looked at by some
one besides Mhw Dinon, and indeed he was,
far handsome young strangers are quite as
rape in Mew Yprk as anywhere else n the
world. Nevertheless bis consciousness was
pp( allowed to make bim uncomfortable, for
" 1
botweon long .trained courtesy anil intelli
gent admiration Mi$s Dinon was enabled to
greet him so cordially that he was made to
feel entirely at ease. Other guests came
down in a moment, and Lucia led Phil away,
presenting him to some of ber acquaintances
mid keenly enjoying tbe surprise of those
who recognized in liim the awkward country
boy of a week liufore. Then ono gentleman
after auot her engaged Lucia in conversation
and begged dunces; other ladies with whom
be was chutting were similarly taken from
him, uiul Phil finally found himself alone on
a sofa, in a Misilioii from which he could
closely observe the hostess.
Miss Agues Oiuon was very well worth
looking at. Mrs. Tramlay may not have been
far from right in Hxing ber years at thirty
six, but there wore scores of girls who would
gladly have accepted some of her years if
they might have taken with them her suerb
physique and somo of the tact and wit that
her years hail brought her. Gladly, too,
would they have shared Miss Diuou's super
Quous age could they have divided with her
the fortu-ie she bad in her owu right. No
body knew exactly bow much it was, mid
fancies on the subject differed widely ; but
what did that mat tort The leading and in
teresting fact was that it was large enough
to bavo attracted a pleasing variety of suit
ors, so that there had uot been a time suice
.bo "cams out" wben Miss Dinon might uot
have set ber wedding day bad she liked
What detriment is there in age to a girl who
can afford to choose instead of being chosen'
Is not the full blown rose more satisfactory,
to many eyes, than the bud Ami how much
more charming the rose whose blushing pet
als Inck uot the glint of gold!
Phil had about reached the conclusion that
Miss Dinou was a woman whom be believed
it would du Ills mother good to look at, when
bis deliberations were brought to an end by
tile lady herself, who approached liiiu. and
said:
"At utst 1 can toko time to present you to

Phil ut once felt entirely at ease. It was
merely a return of au old and familiar sensa
tiou, for he hud always been highly esteemed
by the more mavire maidens of Hayiilou.
and generally found them far more inspiring
cuinpauy than their younger sisters. Phil iir
formed hiuiM.-lf. in the intervals of introduc
tions, that Miss Dinon was not like l-ucta in
a single partii-ular, but .lie rt-rtai.ilr was a

said:

"How unfortunate for a dozun or more

"You will kindly excuse me. that I may see

Phil bowed and edged hi way to a corner,
where in solitude and wrcU-bedne-s be bcbrld
Ijicia go through a quadrille, bestowing
smiles iu rapid suc-cssion un her partner,
who was to Phil's eyes loo utterly iusignifl
cant to deserve a single glance from those
fairest eyes in the worl.L His lips hardened
as be saw Lucia occasionally whirled to her
place by the arm of her partner boldly en
circling her waist He hail always thought
dancing was wrong, now be knew it. At
Haynton the young people occasionally went
through a dnoe vailod "Sir Roger do Cover
ley." but tberw was no bugging iu that. And
I .ucia did not seem at all displeased by her
partner's familiarity confound itl
He had to unbend and forget bis anger
when the quadrille ended, for a pretty maid
en to whom he had been introduced accosted
bim and said some cheerful nothings, flutter
ing suggestively a miniature fan on which
were penciled somo engagements to dance.
But soon tbo music of a waltz arose, and
Phil's eye flashed, to a degree that frightened
tbe maiden before bim, for directly in front
of him, with a man'sarra permanently about
her slender waist and her bead almost pil
lowed on her partner's shoulder, was Lucia.
More dreadful still, she seemed not only to
accept tbe situation, but to enjoy it; there
was on her faro a look of dreamy content
that Phil remembered having seen when she
swung in a hammock at Haynton. He re
membered tbat then he bad thought it an
gelic, but then there was uo arm about her
waist.
The pretty maiden with the fan had looked
to see what bad affected the handsome young
man so unpleasantly. "Ob," she whispered.
"he fa dreadfully awkward. I positively
shiver whenever ho asks mo for a dance."
"Awkward, indeed I" exclaimed PhiL A
very young man with a solemn couutenanco
came over just then to remind tho maiden
with tbe fan that tbe noxt quadrille, would
be his; so she floated away, bestowing upou
Phil a parting smile far too sweet to be ut
terly wasted, as it was.
"You seem unhappy, Mr. Hayn," said Miss
Dinon, rejoining Phd. "I really believe it
because, you don't dance. Confess, now."
"You ought to be a soothsayer. Miss Dinon,
you are so shrewd at guessing," said Phil,
forcing a smile and theu mentally rebuking
himself for lying.
"Won't you attempt at least a quadrille!
The next one will be very easy."
"Phill" exclaimed Lucia, coming up to bim
with an odd, defiant look, port of which was
given to Miss Dinon, "you're too mean for
anything. You haven't asked me for a single
dance."
Phil's smile was of the sweetest and che vi
lest as he replied:
"Wouldn't it bo meaner to ask for what I
wouldn't know how to accept I We country
people dont know how to donee."
"But any one eon go through a quadrille;
it's as easy as walking."
"You couldn't have a bettor opportunity
than the noxt dance, Mr. Hayn," said Miss
Dinon, "nor a more graceful partner and in
structor than Miss Tramlay."

brought to tho ver;oof moral, political and
material ruin. Corruption dominates tbe bal
lot box, tbe legislatures, the congress, and
touches even tbe ermine of tbe bench. Tbe
people are demoralized; most of tbe states
Lave been compelled to isolate tho voters at
the polliuvt places to prevent universal intimi
dation or bribery. The newspapers are large
ly .subsidized or muzzled; public opinion si
lenced; business prostrated; our homes "ov
ered with morttfafrcs; labor Impoverished and
tbe land concentrating in tbe bauds of tbe
capitulihU. Tbe urban workmen are denied
the right of organization for self protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down tbeir
wages; a hireling standing army, unrecog
nized by our laws. Is otabliitbcd to shoot them
down, and they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions. Tbe fruiu of tbe toil of
millions are boldly stolon to build up colossal
fortunes for a few. unprecedented in tbe his
tory of mankind; and the possessors of tbcM,
in turn, despUe tho republic and endanger
liberty. From tbe same prolific womb of the
governmental injustice we breed tbe two great
classes tramps and millionaires.
Tbe national power to create money is ap
propriated to enrich bondholders; a vast public
debt, payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding mlUions to tbe burdens of tbo people.
Silver, which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonetized tn
add to tbe purchasing power of gold by de
creasing tbe value of all forms of property as
mcll as human labor, and the supply of cur
rency Is purposely abridged to fatten usurpers,
bankrupt enterprises and enslave industry.
A vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on the two continents, and it is
rapidly taking possession of the world. If not
met and overthrown at once it forebodes ter
rible social convulsions, the destruction of
civilization or tbe establishment of an absolute
despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a quarter
of a century the struggles of two great politi
cal parties for power and plunder, while griev
ous wrongs have been iu flic ted on the suffer
ing poor. Wo charge tbat the controlling
Influences dominating both these parties hare
perm I x led tho existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious effort to prevent or
restrain them. Neither do they now promise
us any substantial reform. Tbey have agreed
together to ignore in tbe coming campaign
every Issue bat one. They propose to drown
the outcries of a plundered people with tbe
uproar of a sham battle over tbe tariff, so that
capitalUtvcorporations. national banks, rings,
trusts, watered stock, tbe demonetisation of
silver and the oppressions of the usurers may
all be lust sight of. Tbey propose to sacritlce
our homes, lives and children on the altar of
XI am moo: to destroy the multitude In order
to secure corruption funds from the million
aire.
Assembled on the anniversary of the birth
day of tbe nation, and filled with the spirit of
tbe grand generation who established our inde
pendence. eeek to restore the government
of tbe republic to the bands of nae plain
pie," with which class It originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical with
the purposes of the national constitution to
form a more perfect Cnion, establish justice.
insure domes. tic tranquillity, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty tor ourselves
and our posterity. j
We declare that this republic can only en- !
dure as a free government while built upon the
love of tbe whole people for each other and for
the nation: it rannot be pinned together by
bayonets: that the civil war is over, aod that
every passion and resentment which grew out
of it must die with it. and that we must be In
fact, as we are In name, the united brother
hood of free men.
Our conn try finds Itself confronted by condi
tions for which there is no precedent tn tbe
history of tho world; oar annual agricultural
productions amount to billions of dollars In
talue, which must within a few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed In their production;
the existing currency supply is wholly inade
quate to make this exchangee the results are
falling prices, tbe formation of combines and
rings, and the impoverishment of tbe pro
ducing class. We pledge ourselves that if
given power we will labor to correct these evils
by wise and reasonable legislation, in accord
ance with the terms of our platform.
We believe that tbe powers of government
In other words, of the people should be ex
pended (as la the case of the postal service) as
rapidly and as far as the good sense of an in
telligent people and the teachings of expe
rience shall justify, to the end tbat oppression.
Injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in
tbo land.
While our sympathies as a party of reform
are naturally upon the side of every proposi
tion which will tend to make meirintcUigcnt,
virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re
gard these questions important as they are
as secondary to the great Issues now pressing
for solution, and upon which not only our In
dividual property but the very existence of
Tree institutions depend: and we sax all men
to first help us to determine whether we are to
bavo a republic to administer before we differ
as to tbe conditions upon which it is le be ad
ministered, believing that the forces of reform
this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong is remedied and
equal rights and equal privileges securely es
tablished for all the men and women of this
country.
We declare, therefore
Thai the union of the labor forces of the
United States this day consummated shall
be permanent and pcrpctnal-i-may its spirit
enter into all hearts, salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs tn him who creates it, and
every dolla taken from Industry without an
equivalent Is robbery. "If any man will not
work neither shall be eat. The interests of
rural aud civic labor are tho same; their ene
mies arc Identical.
Wo believe that the time has come when
tho railroad corporations will either own the
pcoplo or the people must own the railroads,
and should the government enter upon the
work of owning and. managing any and nil
railroads wojhould favor an amendment to
tho constitution by which all persons en
gaged in the government service shall be
placed under a civil service regulation of the
most rigid character, so as to prevent tbe in
crease of the power of the national adminis
tration by the usaof such additional govern
ment em ploy oca.
We demand a national currency, sate, sound
and flexible, issued by the general government
only, a full legal tender for all debts, publio
and private, and tbat without the use of bank
ing corporations a just, equitable aud efficient
means of distribution, direct to the people, at
a tax not to exceed 3 per cent, per annum, to
be provided, as set forth iu tho subtroasurr
plan of tho Farmers Alliance, or some better
system; also by payments in discharge of its
obligations for public improvements.
Wo demand the free aud unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
10 to 1.
We demand that the amount of the circulat
ing medium bo speedily increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita.
Wo demand a graduated Income tax.
We beliove that the moneys of the country
should be kept as much as possible iu tho
bauds of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to tbo necessary expenses, economically
and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es
tablished by tbe government for the safe de
posit of tho earnings of thepeoploand to facili
tate exchange.
Transportation being a means of exchange
and a publio necessity, tbe government should
own and operate the railroads tn the interest
of the people.
Tho tolecram and telephone, like the post-
office system, being a necessity for the trans
cuisaion of news, should be owned and operated
vy the government in thetatretaf the people.
The land, including afi the nnrtTtral sources
of wealth, la the heritage of all tho people, and

at Omaha the committee on resolutions
met and unanimously agreed upon tbe

sirable emigration.

DECISION.
Speaking of Patent Medicines, the
Judge says : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Yander
pool, (having been treated by him for
cancer) and have used his blood medi
cince, known as the S. B. Headache
and Liver Cure, and while I am seventy
years old, and have used many pills
and other remedies for the blood, liver
and- kidneys. I must say that for a kid
ney tonic in Br i phi's disease, and as an
alterative for the blood, or to correct
the action of the stomach and bowels
it is a verv superior remedy, and beats
anvthing ever tried. -J..B.
