A Fleeting Shadow.
Colorado Clipper.
The glory of the farmers alliance
in Texas has departed, and the
present greatness of that organiza-
tion is but a shadow of its past re-
cord. Disintegration and decom-
position have set in and operated
lo such an extent that but a cor-
poral's guard of the once mighty
hosts is about all that remains.
The alliance set out with many
commendable objects in view, but
unfortunately there was something
radically wrong in ;be component
parts of that organization. It
seemed t<; attract a superabundance
of bad material, attracted no doubt,
by the glamour of future possibili-
ties in political preferment and
party leadership. And, right here
is where asinine qualities of alliance
leaders developed so conspicuous-
ly. The idea was to creato the
impression that a political revolu-
tion was necessary in order to en-
compass the demands of the people
for needed reforms. Democracy,
the party of the people, that grand
old party whoso name has so Ion
been sj'nonymous with the people,
was to be overthrown, and on its
bleeding remains a now party
edifice was to be established.
Instead of seeking its demands
through the regular channels of the
Democratic i arty and going hand-
in-hand into the thickest ot the
fight against republican misrule,
extravangance and corruption, the
leaders of the alliance sought the
very life of the true party ot the
people. But they ambled np
against a buzz saw when they
Btruk the grand old Democratic
party, and were ripped wide open.
The Democratic party has sur-
vived the onslaughts of larger and
more vigorous combinations than
that represented by the farmers
alliance, and the leaders in that
movement have found that adher-
enoe'wTWie principles on the part
of the masses is just a little more
than SKin deep. Many democrats
went into the organization under
the promise that it should not in-
terfere with any of their religious
or political views, and was strictly
of a non-partisan character. They
swelled the ranks of the organiza-
tion until the prostitutes at its
head imagined the time had come
to throw off the mask and declare
their true purposes.
The alarm was sounded, the dec-
laration was made and the fight
opened. But, alas! for the frailty
ot alliance leaders' hopes, the
flower of the organization march-
ed over into the Democratic ranks,
were they shotUd their guns with
free Bilver and tariff reform and
trained them on the third party
and subtreasury plan.
it is a well known fact that nine-
tenths of the third party is com-
posed of alliance men, and it is a
further fact that the leaders in the
alliance today are men whose fealty
has never been to the Democratic
party; but on the contrary, that
they have led in every fight that
has been made on democacy dur
mg the past twenty-five years.
For a time these men had smooth
sailing, but when their true pur-
poses became aqparent the love ot
Democracy, its traditions and in-
structions proved stronger than
prejudice fanaticism and demago-
guery, which had found a tempor-
ary abiding place in the minds of
many, and the people awoke to
the fact that it is to Democracy
that they must look for relief.
It is said that the circulation of
the official organ has fallen off
from 25,000 to less than 8,000, and
if this ratio of decrease is kept up
for a short time longer, Evan J ones
and Stump Ashby will constitute
the farmers altiance of Texas.
The fate of the alliance should
be a warning to those who have
in contemplation the disruption of
the Democratic party.
rraetloes What Sbe Preaches.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher is one of
the few literary women who practice
what they preach with their pens. She
iaupat break of day, at her desk hard
at work, and her home is a model of
what a home should be—filled with stm-
ahi'na, flowers, birds, books and pictures.
We have become so accustomed to old
maid and old bachelor litterateurs who
try to tell as bow to bring babies up by
a two foot rule that it is refreshing to
find one of the great army of "home"
writers whose life is in accord with
her professed principles.—N»w York
Herald.
MRS. NKWBKRRV'S CONFESSION.
Last July three little children of
George Newberry, were murdered
near Joshua, in Johnson county.
Last Thursday Mrs. Mary Newber-
ry, their grandmother, made the fol-
lowing confession of the crime to
County Attorney Myers:
"I did it, Mr. Myers, and I could
not help it. I was not in my right
mind. I had no cause on earth to
do it—not one. I cannot assign
any reason why I should do it. I
think I killed Delia first. She
awoke after I took her out of the
door. Slie said she would tell on
me. I killed her with the knife, I
reckon. I don't remember whetting
the knife and don't remember when
I trot it. I took Nora out next and
Clifford last. The last two were
asleep. I killed them in my arms.
When I cut their throats I can't tell
whether the moon was shining or
not. I tied a rope to the gate after
killing them with the intention of
killing myself. Old Satan put it in
me and I don't want anybody to suf-
ter for what I have done: The fa-
ther of the children treated them
well and treated me well. I don't
know why I made the statement to
my son about two men killing the
children. Old Satan put it in me.
I don't know when I made up my
mind to kill the children. Jim Bar-
nard has told me that he did not
think my mind was right, but I did
not believe him. I think I cut the
stick sitting by the bed the day pre-
vious to the killing but don't know
why I did so. The children did not
know of my cutting the stick that I
know of. I got the rope off the nail
on tlio side of the house. I was
asleep when Jones and Keays
passed the house that night, or rath-
er tliey woke me up. I went to
sleep after they left. I cut the
gashes in my throat because I want-
ed to kill myself, but I reckon I
couldn't. I want to state voluntari-
ly that I did not do it in my right
mind. I reckon I knew when I tes-
tified in the habeas corpus trial and
in my final trial that what I testified
to was false.
"The reason I make this confes-
sion is because I now know I killed
the children and because I want to
do right, and I want to relieve my
conscience of what is weighing
upon it."
A Cheap I'alnt.
Those in search of a cheap paint
for coarse wood work or stone
work might give the following re-
ceipe a trial. It is highly recom-
mended by a contributor to the
New England Homestead, after
lengthy experience by his father,
who has spent a long life as a
painter, is a practical man and
knows the weak points of most
mixtures used as substitutes for
paint:
Slack a peck of lump lime; while
the liquid is still slightly warm
add four ounces ot glue after dis-
solving, a quart of linseed raw oil
and such color as is preferred,
stirring it all well together. This
will stand almost as long as paint
on stone, brick and wood and will
not rub. Whitewash or (lry color
put on with water will stand long
and do well if varnished over with
raw oil. These recipes are equal
to the best calcimine and eminently
adapted to outdoor exposure. Try
small samples first if mistakes are
feared. Tho amount specified will
cover at least 1,000 square feet of
surface. It may bo applied rapidly
with a whitewash brush, although
it will look better and form more
of a protection if painted closely
into broken surfaces.
What Wit Is.
No one has ever told us exactly what
wit is. Dr. Isaac Barrow, a famous
English divine and a man of brilliant
wit himself, has given the best definition
yet known, and he confesses that "often
it consiateth in one hardly knows what."
He says, in his old fashioned style:
"Sometimes it lieth in a pat allusion
to a known story, or in seasonable appli-
cation of a trivial saying or in forging
an opposite tale. Sometimes it playeth
in words and phrases, taking advantage
from the ambiguity of their sense or the
affinity of their sound; sometimes it
lurketh under an odd similitude; some-
times it is lodged in a sly question, in a
smart answer, in a quirkish reason, in a
shrewd imitation, a tart irony, a lusty
hyperbole or a startling metaphor; some-
times an affected simplicity and some-
times a presumptuous bluntness giveth
it being; sometimes it arises from a
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from a crafty wrestling of
obvious matter to the purpose."
Isn't this excellent? Study this clause
and find a witticism to match it. 1
have not given the entire definition, but
just enough to stimulate some one to
look it up for himself.—New York Home
Journal.

Victoria to Open Parliament.
The queen will open parliament in
person on Tuesday, the 9th of February.
The queen informed Lord Salisbury ot
her intention to open parliament nearly
a month ago, and an unusually late day
for the ceremony was fixed expressly to
suit her majesty's convenience. The ar-
rangements on the occasion are to be
precisely the same in every respect as
they were in 1886. The queen will not
stay at Buckingham palace for more
than two nightL—London World.
