The Thought of You A Song.
I care not whether the skies are blue.
Or the clouds ghxini black above me;
A sweet thought comes with tho thought of
you
You love mo, dear, you love mel
When the world is cold and its friendships
few.
And toil is a vain endeavor,
A sweet voice sings to my soul of you.
And the world is sweet forever.
And love, my love, with the bright eyes true
And the red lips kind with kisses.
There is no love like my love for you
No joy in the world like this is!
And whether the skies are dark or blue.
With stars or storms above me.
My life will shine with the thought of you
You love me, dear, you love me!
Franklin L. Stanton.
Reality for Me.
I have a modest-sweetheart.
Who has not traveled mnch,
But loves the scenes around her
With fancy to retouch.
Does some grim jail tower o'er us.
My sweetheart crouches low.
She is dear little Dorrit
With heritage of woe.
Or if by chance we're strolling
Through any bit of wood
She peoples it with archers.
And I am Robin Hood.
One night we two were past-ing
A factory chimney high;
A shower descended on us
Of cinders hot ami dry.
The smoke clouds surged around us.
The soot, like rain, came down.
Cried I: 'Tis Cincinnati
Call this no foreign town."
But quickly came the answer
In sweet, triumphant tone:
"Ah. no; this is Pompeii;
We're Glaucus and lone."
I kissed her once for Glaucus;
Indeed, I kissed her twice
The kiss I gave as Glaucus
Somehow did not suffice.
I like imagination
And all that I can see.
Vet, when it comes to kissing
Reality for me.

"Is Papa Tiimmin Round the Hill?"
My little boy climlied to the window ledge.
And he looked on the field of snow.
That spread like a garment of white
O'er the hills and the valley b"'ov.
And the glance of his eye ran down the road
To where stands tho old brown mill:
Then he turned and said, in a tremulous tone,
"Is papa tummin round the hill?"
(Twas scarce a day since his loved papa.
In robes as white as snow.
Had been laid to rest in his narrow bed
In the graveyard just Ik-Iow.)
Then he climbed up intj his little cot.
And all was silent and still.
Till I heard him murmuring In his sleep,
"Is papa tummin round the hill?"

If We Had Never Met.
If we had lived our lives throughout.
And never chanced to meet
Through changing tide of time and years.
Would life have seemed as sweet
If we had never met?
Though drifting days and happy hours
Have courted for each their fitful name,
K we had measured all of joy
Would life have seemed to us the same
If we had never met?
If in tha space which w . have known
Fate had decreed we'd never met.
Would we have known a vague unrest,
A nameless want, not quite regret
If we had never met?
If joined to ours some other life
Has changed our course or place or aim.
And our life paths had never crossed.
Our lives would they have been the
same
If we had never met?

Iam the key that parts the gates of Fame;

The messenger of sure and swift relief.
Welcomed with wailings and reproachful
grief;
The friend of those that have no friemd
but me,
I break all chains and set all captives free.
I am the cloud that, when Earth's day is done.
An instant veils an unextinguished sun:
I am the brooding hush that follows strife.
The waking from a dream that Man calls

Progressive Farmer.
Mb. Editor : Sometime since I
made an appeal to my brother farm
ers in behalf of ex-President Cleve
land, citing his honesiy and inde
pendency, his courage in the dis
charge of duty, his broad statesman
ship, and particularly his claims to
the gratitude of the whole South,
and especially of the Southern far
mers. I am happy to say that this
appeal met with a hearty response
form every part of the South ; and I
am more certain now than ever that
my Allianco brethren do not feel
that they have lost their manhood
and independence, and that they
intend to exercise, as in times pasb
their own judgment about men aud
measures.
The only objections to that plea
for Mr. Cleveland, that I have seen
are two correspondents in the Pro
gressive Farmer. One of them has
ead me out of the Democratic par
ty and the other out of the Alliance,
and both in this summary ejectment
have shown a spirit of bitterness
which tramples in the very dust that
iniunction of our Constitution, "To
constantly strive to secure entire tur
monyand good will among all man-
iind, and brotherly love among
ourelves.'" The Constitutution of my
country guarantees to me freedom of
thought and freedom of speech. The
Constitution of the Alliance and the
ritual give me a solemn pledge that
there shall be no interference with
my politics nor my religion. With
this shield I can turn" all the shafts
of malice that may be hurled at me.
In that plea 1 attacked no man t
belief. I impugned no man's mo
tives, I indulged in no personalities.
T simply appealed to the sense of
iustice and right tLat all trueheart-
d men possess.
But one of my critics argues that
I cannot support Mr. Cleveland and
be a true Democrat, because he does
not agree with his party about the
coinage of silver. My first answer
is that the only test of true Democ
racy is its National platform. In
that platform certain bread funda
mental principles are iuii down, and
an acceptance of the whole, or a
greater part of tLetn, confers the
title of Democrat, and that platform
has never had a word in it about the
coinage of silver. Therefore it is no
test on that question.
There is a difference betweeu
principle and policy. Principle is
the foundation, policy the super
structure. The one is fixed, immov
able : the other allows latitude and
variety in detail. The principles of
a party deal with the fuudamenta'
ideas en which the State is founded,
and must be stable. The policy of
a party refers to the administration
of Government, with the shifting
needs of an advanciLg civilization.
Now Mr. Cleveland, while standing
on the broad, solid principles of De
mocracy, and even while he wa8 the
chief of the party, and head of the
nation, expressed himfelf clearly, as
be always does, on the policy of un
limited silver coinage, and no one
thought of reading him out of the
party. On the contrary, bia party
again made him its leader, aid the
white voters of the nation endorsed
him by a large majority. 'Ihere is
no more reason for denouncing him
now for the sentiments ot hit silver
letter, than there was for denounce
ing him tbeii for t; e same anti
ments in his message.
Again I say his letter was not di
rected against a judicious coinage
and circulation of silver, but against
a certain Congressional bill, which
threatened to flood the country with
a depreciated and fluctuating, cur
rency which does not affect capital
ists and speculators eo seriousdy, but
always brings distress upon the
poorer classes. And hence I asked
a suspension of judgment until we
could understand the full scope and
effect of that particular bill or measure.
As it appeared to me, one serious
effect would be to create one of the
most gigantic monopolies that the
country has ever seen. Under the
unlimited free coinage clause, every
owner of a silver mine would be
come more powerful than Aladdin
with his -..onderful lamp. Eyery
capitalist could more thau double
bis capital in three investments
Let me illustrate ; The mine owner
has $700 worth of silver metal, or
bullion, as it is called, or the capital
ist goes into the market and buys
$700 worth of bullion (the market
price of a dollar being 70 cents in
' bullion ). Now under this bill the

The alternate domination of one
faction against another, sharpened
by the spite of revenge, natural to
party dissent ion. which, in different
ages and countries, has perpetuated
the most horrid enormities, is itself
a frightful despotism. But this
leads at length to a more formal and
permanent despotism. The disor
ders and miseries, which generally
result, gradually incline the minds of
men to seek security and repose in
the individual; and sooner or later
the chief of some prevsiling faction;
more able or more fortuaate than his
competitors, turns this disposition to
the purpose of his own elevation, on
the ruins of public liberty."
(Note the history of France since
1790.)
The habit of magnifying particu
lar evils, though they be real, will
surely have the effect of obscuring
greater evils, left to grow and accu
mulate hidden power, while we are
engrossed with the lesser, will burst
on us some day with the sudden
fury and destruction of a cyclone.
In view of the recent peril
the nation, and the South particular
ly, has just escaped from force bills
and other despotic centralizing
measures, it looks like the folly ot
madmen for us to abandon our for
tifications and expose everything we
hold most sacred to risk ef destruc
tion. What will silver bills and sub
treasury bills be worth to us if we
are again placed under the domina
tion of ignorance and rapacious
greed, as in tLe days of reconstruc

have to others we know not of."
What I have written is intendei

will denounce it as treason. But
that' word has no more terror for me

THE ALLIANCE AND THE
THIRD PARTY.
State Chronicle.
As we expected, the Kansas and
Ohio men, who composed the recent
Convention at Cincinnati organized
a Third Party, and formulated a
platform. Of the 1,21S delegates
present.Ohio famished 317 delegate?,
composed mainly of the socialistic
element of Cincinnati, and Kansas
furnishedllll delegates, and the re
mainder were mainly from the con
tiguous States. Early in the session
it became apparent that three or
four States had brought enough
delegates to control the Convention.
The resrion in which the Farmer's
Alliance was born and grew was
practically unrepresented in the Con
ventiou. But the party has been or
ganized, and next February it will
nominate a ticket- Everywhere the
question is asked: "What will the
Alliancemen of the South do about
it!" The indications are that South
ern Alliancemen will do nothing at
all about it, and have nothing at all
do with it, Practically the South
ern Alliancemen were united against
its organization. They believe that
a false step has been taken, and they
will allow the organizers of the party
to run it to suit themselves. . They
will remain in the Democratic party,
the natural champion of the
rights of the people, and seek

legislation through that party, which
has ever been faithful to the needs
and necessities of the great mass of
the people. If that is not their in
tention, why dil they not send dele
gates to the Convention? Why did
they protest against the organization
ot the party? and why do they pro
claim that they are Democrats? We
choose to believe their utterances,
and, although there are those South
ern Alliancemen who favor a third
party under certain circumstances.
we do not believe that any consider
able number of them will be so fool
ish as to give the contiol of the
Southern States over into the hands
of the Republican party. Support
of a third party would surely pro
duce that result a remit winch no
patriotic Southernor can contemplate
without a shudder.
THE COTTON CROP.
Washesgtox, June 10. The report
of the statistics cf the department of
Agriculture for June makes the acre
age in cotton 97.7 per cent of the
area of 1S90, and the average condi
tion So.
The reduction in area is attributed
iu some districts to concerted con
traction on account of low prices, but
it is evident that it is mainly due to
unfavorable conditions for planting
and germination. The record of
planting in the May report is quite
accurately a hietory of the crop to
the present time. Planting was de
layed by early rains, droughts in the
latter half of April, followed by con
tinued droughts in May. Germina

The temperature of May was quito
too low for cotton, cool nights check
ing germination and retarding
growth- Of course these conditions
make crops late in development in
some places a few days in some, in
others a week or two later than in
seasons of early development. There
is frequent mention of bad stands,
but constant replanting will reduce
the vacancies to a minimum. Cultiva
tion is necessarilly late and fields are
grassy, with the usual variation re
suiting from difference in soil,
amount of replanting and relative
promptness and efficiency of planta
tion managers-
