—The program of tho Academic

last Friday night. IjjTbe Academy
was full to overflowing'and great in-
terest manifested by the people of
PllojPinto. The members of the so-
ciety did crodit'to themselves'by ren-
dering tbeir piecos in an excellent
manner, reflecting credit on the pains-
taking and efficient instructor. This
entertainment olosedj the "school for
tho year, and shows that tho people
of Palo Pinto are at JJwork for the
sohool interest of the^town. During
the past yaar Prof. Adams and.his as-
sistants have had tbejhearty co-opera-
tion of the patrons~of tho school, and
starts with brighter prospects for an-
other, All the people have to do4 is
to come together and work and we
will have one of the best schools in
tho county.
When you hear Domccrais mak-
ing an argument m layor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, at
the ratio of 16 to 1, and swears bo will
vote the ticket for ever. Weep, for
he will soon be an orphan.
Now and then a Democrat is heard
to depricato tho division in the party
on the money question and express
the hope that the Dudley committee
may harmonize matters and avoid au
open rupture, but the man who thinks
anybody can stop this fight until
there is a decisive result reached one
way or another is a blind idiot. Di-
vision is already here. Democrats
ure as far apart as tho poles on the
only quostion now before tho Am ri
can people, and tbo talk of a straddle
on the money question is cot indulged
in by any who are acquainted with
the temper of the people, A ticket
nominated on the platform adopted
by tho last domocratio convention,
which was a straddle on tho mouoy
question and went out of its way to
make a thrust at organized labor,
would be beaten by 50,000 votes
wore tho election to coma off now.
—Texas Farmer.
Our news columns show that the
democratic ship has pumped on the
(roe silvei® rock aud gone all to pieces.
In Illinois ihe free silver democrats
have goue ovor bu£ and baggage to
tho Populists; the Illinois goldite
democrats will vote the republican
ticket. Senators Vest and Cockrell,
democrats of Missouri, aro trying to
hold the democratic wreck together
by calling in hot haste for a froe sil
ver democratic convention. A sim-
ilar otato of affairs exists in other
states. But tho democratic leaders
aro too late. Had the last demo-
cratic congress kept its party pledges
free coinage would now l>o a fact. It
failed and tailed miserably, and the
leaders can no longoj lead. The par-
ty is irretrievably disrupted. The
split is as wide as in I860 on the slav-
ery question. There is nothing now
loft for tho fraa coinage democrats
but to unite with the populists, who
aro for free silver straight. Demo-
crane goldites should join the repub-
lican party and worship the goldeu
calf under the icy ministrations of
High Priest John Sherman. Froe
Silver republican voters should at
once abandon the republican party
and join tiio populists. There is not
even a shadow of a ghost of a plat-
form of a promise for froo silver und
ertherulaof the republicans. In
its delirinm of defeat it has swallow-
ed the gold cure for all political ills
and Ins taken so lajge a dose that
death is only a question of a abort
lime. Silver men, rally around the
flag of the people ! March with your
friends! Train no longer under a
humbug protective tariff flag ! Get
together; vote together and smash
the double beadod republicratic gold
party altogether!—Exponent.
— Nearly all domoorats who argue
for tho freo and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to 1, are in tr th popu-
list, and received them financial ed-
ncation from populist speakers and
lsterature, but are so dominated and
controlled by the democratic leaders
that they hayn't the courage to re-
nounce allegiance to the democratic
party, and allign themselves with the
party that boldy advocates tho doc-
trne in which they believe.
It was the populist that forced the
finanoial issue, and gathered in the
thousands of voters who saw tho figh I
for reform in the 'ranks* of the old
parties was u-eless. Some men will
eloquenty was for principle untii the
time oomes to vote, and then meekly
submit to party domination, whether
it be for a gold standard platform or
a gold candidate.
Commissioner Reagan beoams very
wralhy when accused of being" a pop-
ulist, and so do all silver democrats
when sold tbey advocate populiat
doctrine, and no doubt the; have a
right to their anger, for no populist
would be so politically dishonest as
to to talk silver and then vote for
men representing a gold platform.
But the parting of tho way has been
reached at last and all honest free
silver democrats must join the pop-
ulist or become political orphans.
The democrats who have announced
that tbey will stay with the party
regardles of the platform wi11 vote
for a gold btfg for president next
year, and will rise enmass an did tho
silver democrats at the Dallas con-
vention last year and indorse a gold
standard platform. ^.But tho adop-
tionn of a gold standard platform w:ll
not end tho farce, Oh no! The same
crowd will devote the next two years
to the task of proving the platform
really means free eilver although it
dees not say so. Now that the split
has com?, taxes increased and not a
single pledge state or national of tho
doniocratic platform fulfilled, all fu-
ture democratic reform jrguinen>
can be answered in a word ' liats ! !
