The Enterp'iso is continually asking what the objects of the third party are in this campaign.' The Chronic'e will enlighten it. The f llowing dialogue recently occurred between two noted characters Uncle Sam and John Bull at the telephone: Uncle Sam Hello! That you, Mr. Bull? John Bull Yes. What do you want? U. S We want free coinage of silver. Can we have it? J. B. Not by a dog-gonod sight, if the Court knows herself, and I think she do. U. S. Why not? J. B. Because it would make silver worth 100 cents on the dollar, and we would have to p iy 40 cents more on the ounce, for your silver with which we buy our wneat and other supplies from India. This would increase tho price of wheat and other supplies about thirty per cent We won't stand it. U. S. But, Mr. Bull, wo have both silver and wheat to sell, and that's the reason our people want free silver. J. B. Tb.3 paople b3 damned. What do we care for the people ? U. S. But the people are about to make us trouble about this ques ion and something must bj dona or they will enact a silvtr bill themselves. What will we do? J. C Git up a racket over tho seal- question; trot out the old tariff scare crow or shake the bloody shirt; any thing to attract their minds from the money question. U. S. But these schemes won't work anv longer. The people are hun gry and clamorous. J. B. Feed 'em soup. I'll have Salisbury to send you a receipt to make a nhean soud. Now don't bother me any more. I'm busy at a game of bac carat and collecting my rents from Ire land. Good-bye. . . -r 1 TT 1 1 U. . uood-oye, jonn. iave me Donlr nf TCnnrln nl fa ro trnn'i CnVPt of i.Tnhn Sherman's picture. He's a srood fellow and will stand up for an "honest dollar." J. B. Oh, yes, he is England's best friend in America. Give him my best, and tell bim we Englishmen think he's a bully boy. Now, good-bye. U. S. Good-bye. We'll try to fool the people a little longer, but they are getting on to our racket. Virginia (Nevada) Chronicle. Southern Alliance Farmer: Our noble young party is an offense to the old parties. It is called a third party. It is the hated, reviled, slandered party, and none but sincere men attach themselves to it Now as a rule, it has faith in its principles. They are its only hope, they are its stock in trade, they are to it what a woman's virtue is to her, all in all. It dare not try to be an expedient party. It could not if it would, would not if . j-it i Lincoln, Nebraska. 3n O'k School in q JJeV ocqtioti. 1 W W I1 1 1 W i iiliiji Will I in IIM Main:iuildiu(r, 2C5 Fcettfront. 25 DEPARTMENTS.
