WHAT ARE THE FARMERS GOING TO
DO ABOUT IT.

The farmers organizations are
composed of farmers who have all
kinds of political opinions and rec
ords. They therefore contend that
the evils of which they complain
are not due TO the principles or
platforms of any of the political
parties which have from time to
time controlled public affairs. They
assert, however, that all parties have
in turn failed to elect capable and
reliable men, that the majority of
Office holders have been and are in
competent and corrupt, and that
despite platforms and pledges the
people have always been humbug-
ged and swindled by the men
whom they have chosen to make
and administer the laws. See
ing, therefore, no hope of any
political party securing a better
class of officials than heretofore, the
farmers propose 10 see Il they can
not exercise the necessary disere-
ton, sagacity and patriotism, in this
all important matter.
We earnestly hope that the farm
ors will frame public policy which
vast majority of the people will
endorse. Suppose they also succeed
in designating the men who will be
elected, aud firmly pledged TO carry
out that policy. Unless such candi-
dates be more faithful to their pledg-
es than the candidates of all politi-
cal parties have yet proven-unless
they they be thoroughly nspable.
reliable, incOrruptiblo-the result
will be unsatisfactory, and the faith
lessness OF the ofiiceiolder will con-
tinue 10 defeat the objects for which
he is elected.
And when the farmers are wise
enough, or lucky enough. to desig-
nate the successful candidates, then
the real test. of their wisdom and
patriotism will begin. The day that
ACSOiOo AuClt uISb SUuSNduttdl tlClOTy
at the polls will be most eventfuI
one for the farmers organizations.
Then sill the political demagogues,
all the willy schemers from NJ aine
to Texas, will set their subtle wits
at work TO get a foolhold in tbs vie
toriouS ranks. Then every man
who has an influence la farmers
organizations will find his mbiiiOn,
his cupidiiy, his self shness. his |
prejudices, his human frailty in all |
respects, subject to continual and |
assiduous temptations. Euemies |
without aud treachery within will |
necessarily beset the farmers move
ment from the day that ii exhibits
it's power to control public affairs.
The very hOnr of victory will lac
the beginning of the battle. Moth
ing, then, can be more important
In the work Of public reform, which
The farmers have undertaken, than
The selection of the men t. whoss
hands that reform Is to be entrusted.

The Wichita Eagle gives this ac-
count of Fore, the St. Louis chap
whom we noticed last week as hav-
ing tried TO murder his wife with
his "little Ratchet"
Many of the citizens of Wichita
will remember James II. Fore, who
came here last summer and bought
place south of town. He brought
his young wife and the two took up
their abode on the new farm. She
was frail, delicate woman, and he
had been here but short time when
he commenced a round of dissipa-
ton, during which he abused and
maltreated his wife, and finally de-
serted her. We believe money was
raised here to enable her to reach
her parents in st. Louis. This same
Jas. Fl. Fore, killed, in August, 1871,
his brother-in.law, Munson Beach,
and VIZ acquitted upon the testi-
mony of a physician, who swore
that Fore was the victim of "homi-
cidal insanity" Now comes the
sequel. 1t appears that he found
his way back to st. Louis, where he
discovered his wife, who was earn.
ing her own livelihood as a clerk in
some establishment. Watching his
opportunity he caught her upon the
street and asked her to live with
him again, which she refused. He
then asked to take her hand in s
farewell grasp, when he treacher
ously drew from under his coat {
Ratchet with which he cut her head
and face in a horrible and bruta
manner, leaving her for dead upor

lady was still living, but in a dan
gerous condition. This is but an
other instance of the folly of turn.

thsy should be confined; if sane
hanged. We saw Mrs. Fore tn,
day she left our town. She was I
pale, delicate young woman, ant
looked heart-broken. She eYidenly
had suffered much, but it seems tina
she has been followed by this de
moniacal prosecutor who had sworl
to protect her. Let him now b,

so far as ! am aware. any foundation
for such an accusation againat Mr..
Lowe. On March 18th last, the
Sun published an article entitled
"Petty Larceny in Congress" giving
a number OF tables containing bills
of strange expenditures made by
the senate and house of representa-
tives. Among the bills of the
house was one for articles procured
from n. w. Burchell. This bill
some Imaginative person has copied,
putting over it the name of Mr..
Lowe. So far as he is concerned, ii
is a great fraud, as was the original
purchase of tea, sugar lemons and
staylaces, made by the house OF rep.
