C, March 2. My Dear Daughter, (if I may call you so): Your letter was re ceived in due time and read, and it went like a dagger to my heart when, I read about your mother's condition ; aud, I can truly sa that I am as miserable as it is pos sible for a mortal to be this side of torment. No man ever loved his wife and children more than I do mine; but 1 do not feel, now, as if I can ever face you all agaiu. I know that I shall never aain be the light hearted, happy, happy man that I have been, for, whatever turn affairs may take, I shall always be ashamed of myself, aud feel as if' those who have loved me best, in the past, had lost confidence in me aud respect for me. I never can look into your mother's honest eyes and feel that 1 am worthy of the love of such a true heart as hers. But, Mary, I want you to tell your mother that I never intended to be what and where I am to-day ; and that I spake nothing but the honest truth wheu I told her that I always expected to be a Demo crat. If any man had intimated to me five years ago that. I would become, iu politics, what I find myself to day, I would have spit in his face, and branded him as a liar. 1 know that your dear mother was uneasy about me, aud that she sometimes, cautioned me not to drift eway from the old landmarks, aud eveu advised me not to join i he Farmer's Alliance, lest I miht get into company that would prej udice me against lite-long princi ples aud friends, but the times be ing hard, I thought something ought to be done to better the tinaticial condition of the country ; and, hearing that the Farmer's Alliance was non-partizan, and only intended to fight trusts and monopolies, I concluded to join, notwithstanding try wife's protest against my so doing. I have wished a thousand times that 1 had listened to her advice. And 1 want to say right here, seeing how things have turned out, that God being my helper, I will never join another secret political association, nor anything that looks like one, if I should live to be as old as Methuselah. These societies may not mean eril in the State, but evil will get iuto them, and grow out of them, as sure as the sun shines. There were no politics in the Alliance when first started ; it was simply an association of far mers to protect farmers against combines and trusts. The organi zation originated with and among Democrats, and, so Democrats felt no hesitancy about joining. Most all of the early members were Democrats. And 1 will tell you my daugh ter, and I waut you to read the whole of this letter (especially this part of it) to your mother, how 1 happened to join the Alliance. It was during the campaign some six or eight years ago that Col Polk, then a prominent Alliance man, c tme into our c junty to mal e a Democratic speech. He took up the various questions that so deeply concerned the farmers, and dis cussed them from the Alliance stand-point, saying as he would close up on each topic : These are the principles for which the Farmer's Alliance is contending.' And every one present joined in the applause which followed Finally, after he discussed every question upon which the people were at all interested, he stopped just long enough to secure perfect silence and undivided attention. Then in that emphatic and heroic manner, for which the Colonel was so noted in bisaddresses, be said : "Fellow Citizens, I have discussed, from the Farmer's Alliance, stand point all the questions which so vitally concern you, and you have liberally applauded eyery state ment that I have made, thereby manifesting your approbation of what I have said. Now, fellow citizens, justice demands that I should say, that, these views which 1 have presented, as being the principles of the Farmer's Alli ance, and which you have approved by your applause, are the princi ples of the great Democratic party." When he said that all the Re publicans got up and left the house. Seeing that I concluded to join at once, thinking that, as Republi cans didn't like it, because its principles were those of Democ racy, it must indeed be a good thing. And I joined it to help fight the trusts which had grown up in the country, under Republi can rule and to help rescue that poor, hard-worked and impover ished class called farmers, from the clutches of the combines and mo nopolies, which Republican legis lation and rascality had allowed aud fostered; for I knew then, and and we all know now, that the Dem ocratic party was not, directly or indirectly, responsible for a single one of the thousand evils which perplexed and impoverished Un people. I knew then and we all know now that the Republican party is a high tariff party, and a gold standard party, aud that it never was th friend of the poorer classes. So, my daughter, I joined term of six years in the United States Senate ; and some bits and crumbs to a few of the bowlers to make them keep quiet until the captors can get such laws euacted as will make our bondage per petual. We, the rank and file, get noth ing to our share ; and daily our new masters, here in tbe Legis lature, are becoming more and more tyrauical and domineering toward us, and insolent in their demands. A few days Ago they called us brothers, and said we were a brotherhood of reformers. Now, they do not hesitate to sneer a us, and tell us that we Populisms are nobody ; that our party is "busted" in the nation; and, in asmuch as we have forfeited the confidence and esteem of our old party associates, the Democrats, and are like dogs without home? or masters, that we will be obliged to stay where we are, make the best we can of our con- T11E BIBLE IN UGANDA. In Uganda, a country where nothing was known of Christi anity twenty years ago, tbe work of the missionaries has produced the most pleasing results. The demand for Bibles and New Tes taments is most extraordinary. According to tbe Preeby terianer, Chicago, 10,000 copies of tbe Gospels have been sold there withiu five months, besides 2.r, 000 other books pertaining to Can This lw True t A preacher came at a newspaper man this way : "You editors dare ; not tell the truth. If you did vou i could not live; your newspapers , would be a failure." Tbe editor replied, "You are right.

But, thank God, this Legisla ture will adjourn soon and I will i."'t back home to my dear family, whom I have so grievously wronged, and if the Lurd spares me, I am going to t irn over a new leaf.

Had to do it and corallines to measure lances with ours. It was to be a fight to the death or to victory, on our part, and we were sure of victory. But, alas, for the irony of fate. Our fine army, which we organ ized and marched iuto the t'ndd, with (lying banners, and beating drums, and glistening bayonets, is no more. We have lowered our banners, throw n dow n our arms, surrendered our principles every principle for which we once ( contended, and unconditionally surrendered to the arty which brought upon the couiftry all the evils of which we ever corrfplaiiied- And we, who, a few years ago, were so fullcf hope and enthusiasm so full of man hood aad patriotic pride are pris oners in the camp of our old enemy, working side by side with negroes, hewers of wood and drawers of water for our masters. I never thought that I, who oved Zeb Vance as a father, would, in so short a time after his death, be doing the dirty work of that party which both feared and hated 'Old Zeb," because he had the boldness to hit a mean thing, and the manhood to champion the cause of the poor, against the oppres sions of that which brought ruin and poverty upon the country. But, such is the fact, my daugh ter, ibe farmer s Alliance wtncti made such bold demands, and the Peoples party which promised to champion those demands, are pris oners of war, being at the mercy of our captors the Republicans and are kept within prison bounds, by the five big Sentinels who sit on the watch-tower to oversee us. We are not allowed any privileges, but must do as we are commanded. That accounts for my not coming home last Saturday night. (Tell your mother so.) Our bondage is complete. Not one of us can say his soul is his own. We have to eat the bard tack that is thrown to us b)T our Masters and vote as we are told to do. Egyptiau bondage was a paradise compared to ours. We've been sold out, therefore we are slaves. Benedict Arnold failed in his attempt to be a traitor. The plot was discovered and Washington and his brave meu saved from the horrors would have resulted, if treason had beeu successful. Those who had cornmaud of our brave army of reformers were more suocessful than was Benedict Arnold. They consummated the trade sold us out, and turned us over horse, foot and dragoon, to the enemy.
