Quite stir has been made in New
York state by the farmers, who have
organized what they call the FARMERS
Alliance an association having for it's
object the banding of the farmers into q
semi-political brotherhood. The alliance
differs from the grange in that its meet
ings are open and its objects avowed on
general, political and governmental ques-
tions. The society attacks openly the
nomination of what they call "tricky
lawyers" to election for Offices wherein
they will be required to legislate for the
farmers. Rum-sellers also come in for a
portion of the wrath of the members.
Then quack>doctors, undertakers and
graveAdiggers are denounced as "priv-
ileged classes" who exact most exhor.
bitant charges. They set apart personal
property holders as privileged" be.
cause they eYade taxation. The custom
of assessing the nominal owner upon the
whole of his land, although he may owe
for more than half, is disapproved.
Railroads are next taken to task, and
get share of abuse. The alliance
seems to be taking deep root
among the farmers of the empire
state, and may become quite formida,
BILE as a political power.
Some Of the objects are set forth in the
following extract, read before the late
state meeting at Syracuse: 4
First: That every species of property
should bear Its just and equal burden of
taxation.
Second: That the insurance law of the
state should be SO amended that the
farmers can secure themselves against
loss by FIRE at the actual cost Of such pro-
lection, by forming companies for mutual
insurance.
Third: That the farmers OF the state
of New York should no longer be taxed
to carry grain of the west to the sea-
board; and to this end the railroad com
panies Of the state shall not discriminate
against local freight, and that they shall
be prohibited by law from charging more
ON freight for short distances than for
long distances.
Fourth; That q state board of agricul-
ture should be appointed, recognized and
maintained as department of the state
government.
Fifth: That as the common district
school is the only means of education to
large majority of those living in rural
districts, we demand that the common
schools of the state shall be maintained
free to all, and that they be placed for
ever beyond partisan OF sectarian control
by the organic law of the state.

EyTne Supreme Court of the State
has decided TO be unconstitutional the
law providing for the appointment of
Judges Of District Court
We know Of no good reason for dis
putting the correctness Of this decision
1t is true that the judicial force of the
State is unequal TO the labor It is called
upon to perform-that the channels OF
justice are logged, and that litigants in
seeking their rights meet with oppressive
delays-and that the Supreme Court Of
the State is overworkei. But the remedy
for these evils should be sought in an
amendment to the Constitution, and not
in an evasion Of it. The exercise OF
doubtful constitutional powers is Just as
dangerous now a. when JEFFERSON com
batted it. @ @ eas
