..'soft, white hands
'flesh that fears the cold
wear a garment old—
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
iThe rich man's son inherits cares.
The bank may break, the factory
burn,
A breath may burst the bubble shares,
And soft, white hands could hardly
earn
A living that would serve his turn—
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich man's son inherits wants,
His stomach craves for dainty fare,
.With sated heart he hears the pants
Of toiling hands and grown arms
bare
And weariness in his easy chair—
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scare would wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor man's son inherit?
Stout muscles and a sinewy heart,
A hardy frame and a hardier spirit,
King of two hands, he does his part
In every useful toil and art—
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
[What doth the poor man's son inherit?
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble
things,
A rank adjudged by toil worn merit,
Content that from employment
springs
A heart that in its labor sings—
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
[What does the poor man's son inherit?
A patience learned of being poor;
Courage, if sorrow come, to bear it;
A fellow feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door—
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
Oh, rich man's son, there is a toil
That with all others level stands!
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whiten soft white hands.
This is the best crop from thy
lands—■
A heritage, it seems to me,
¡Worth being rich to hold in fee.
Oh, poor man's son, scorn not thy
state!
There is worse weariness than thine
In merely being rich and great.
Toil only gives the soui to shine
And makes rest fragrant and be-
nign—
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last,
•Both children of the same dear God,
Prove title to your heirship vast
By record of a well filled past—
A heritage, it seems to me,
Well worth a life to hold in fee.
—Lowell.
CHAIRMAN BRADLEY'S VIEWS.
Chairman Bradley, who has been en-
gaged in organizing the Poplists
throughout the State for several
months past, stopped over in Dallas
this week on his way home. He is
quite encouraged with the political
outlook. Among other things, he
said: . ,
"I do not expect to be State chair-
man again. There is too much work
for one man to do. Many Populists
have asked me to accept another term
as State chairman, but I don't want
the place, and will not have it if I
can get out of it. I haven't heard
another name than my own men-
tioned in connection with the chair-
manship, and therefore, have no idea
who will be elected to succeed me.
"The Populists of Texas will nom-
inate a straight ticket in the coming
campaign, and. make a determined ef-
for to wrest the control of the State
government from the hands of the De-
mocracy. No 'fusion', will be our bat-
tlecry. We expect to win.
"Nine men are being talked of in
connection with the Populist guberna-
torial nomination. They are Major Je-
rome Kearby and Barney Gibbs, of
Dallas; G. W. Glasscock, of George-
town; J. M. Pardue, of Upshur county;
Evan Jones, of Dublin; Charles H.
Jenkins, of Brownwood; H. L. Bent-
iey, of Abilene; J. H. Veatch of John-
son county, and Major W. O. Hutchin-
son, of San Marcos. Among these I
have no choice. They are all good
men. Of course, as State chairman, I
can not express my preferences.
"Should the Democrats control the
next legislature Culberson will easily
defeat Senator Mills for re-election,
and become the colleague of Senator
Horace Chilton. I have been over the
State a great deal and am satisfied
that attorney general Crane will be
nominated by the Democrats for gov
ernor, We expect to defeat him for
election.
"I will not call the State convention
together until after the Populist Or-
ganization Committee meets in St.
Louis, on Jan. 12. I think, though, that
the State Committee will meet some
time in February to set the date and
place for holding our State convention,
and for the transaction of such other
business as may come before it.
"I find our people very hopeful of
success next fall. All are road y and
willing for another battle and we'll
go into the contest next November
with every gap in our ranks closed,
and with every good Populist in Texas
at his post of duty. There'll be no
dissatisfaction among us. In addition
to our full strength we will poll the
votes of thousands of other good men,
from both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. Things have not
been riin at Austin to suit the people
of this State, and the returns next No-
vember will demonstrate this fact."

a spcecli made at Muskogee, I. T., on
his return trip he said that the com-
mon people of this land would yet set-
tle the money question at the ballot
box, from which there would be no
appeal; that the money question is so
simple that anyone with sense enough
to know that both ends of a teeter-
board would not go up at the same
time, could understand it; that people
generally studied questions when they
were compelled to do so. He followed
this up by saying that the wealth
producers of this land were the foun-
dation of the government.
This is just what the Populists have
declared all the time. The fog and
clouds that have been injected in*o tho
financial atmosphere is the work of
demagogues and designing men.
ocrats under Tammany may nominate
him next time, as the Republicans will
probably unload him. If the country
repudiates Republicanism, it is not
probable that it will want to take up
the repudiated Democracy. Now Is
the chance for Populism. Right now
the politicians of both old parties stink
in the noses of the people.

Mr. Bryan seems to have learned
something during bis trip south. In
The Populist party has already ac-
complished a good deal in some states
by forcing the hands of the other par-
ties. The country in the last election
repudiated the Democratic party for
its double-dealing and failure when In
office to reduce expenses and announce
wise and fixed policies. Even the Re-
publicans are calling McKinley "Wab-
bling Willie," because he don't know
where he stands on any governmental
policy, not even the tariff, since the
failure of the Dingley bill. The Dem-

mailable and subjects the officer issu-
ing them to legal action.
