Well Taken.

The Madison Democrat reports
that just before the republicans
went into caucus, On Tuesday morn
ing Of last week, on the senatorial
question, one Of the members of the
legislature offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted by
by the third house,
Resolved, That as an entertaining
and proper manner Of breaking the
deadlock in the republican senatorial
caucus, Assemblyman Case of Rich
land, be requested to prepare the rag
dolls and balls so graphically describ-
ed by him yesterday, as in use at
county fairs to educate farmers sons,
put them in proper position in the
senate chamber, and that, instead OF
balloting further the various candi-
dates for {. S. senator be invited 70
appear before the caucus at 2::30 to-
day and take turns at throwing said
balls at said rag dolls; and the candi-
date who shall, in a trial of 100 throws
hit the dolls the greatest number OF
times, shall be the nominee of the
caucus

The Home Paper and Farmer.
Hamilton (Iowal Freeman.

Does the farmer, as rule. appre-
ciate his home paper? We have
thought sometimes that he did not
stop to estimate its true worth to
him. Every enterprising newspaper
stands as sentinel guarding the in
terests of the farmers. Not swind-
ling machine on its travels but what
is scented afar off and exposed.
Not favorable indication for the
coming crop but what is noticed with
rejoicing by the paper. We scarce
pick up an exchange but what we
read some good word for the farmer,
or find an expose and warning to
give wide berth TO some scheme of
sharpers to exact money from him.
A farmer without his home paper is
like mariner at sea without his
compass. In value to him the city
dailies are not to be compared with
it. The farmer who reads his home
paper most carefully is the man who
it the best. We like the
critical farmer. We don't expect
him to agree with all his paper says.
The careful reader will find plenty
70 endorse in every issue of the fifty
two times its fresh visits come to
him.

TIE CAR ASSASSINATED.

The Gar Of Russia was killed on
Sunday last, by the explosion of a
bomb which had been thrown at
him. Two bombs were thrown, the
first one exploding under the ear
riage in which the Car was riding,
without doing much injury; but the
second one proved more fatal killing
the Car almost instantly. The as
sassins made no effort to escape and
admitted their guilt when arrested.
The new ruler was at once installed.

ANTI-MONOPOLY.

There are ut the present IL this
country two youthful organizations,
which we believe are bound To play
III important part in our politics at
~. verv distant day. We have
reference \" the Anti-M~.,~r>..ls-
League which lately held great de-
monstration il New York, and the
Farmers Alliance which was organ
izcd ~ Il convention OF farmers ut
Chicago last October, and which has
since spread rapidly throughout the
Northwest Although each came
into being Independent of the other
mid still retains 4 separate existence,
tine League ami the Alliance were
nrganized for the same common pur-
pose and owe their birth to the
same cause. The purpose Of the
Lcngue is expressed ~ its title anti
monopoly, and It's members ne fol
lowers IF every pursuit in life.
The purpose Of the Alliance IS also
anti-monopolv; but its membership
II, We believe restricted To tillcr. Of
the soil The monopolies against
which these organizations are ut
present directing their assault are
the railway and telegraph compan-
ics, and the oppression Of these
two monopolics are the immediate
cause Of their being. \ great many
people are fully convinced that for
various reasons the railroad COM
panies 1T the country cannot we'll be
lct alone to charge what rates they
choose, restrained only by the
checks Of competition; and believe
that it is meet and right that tn
government should step iii and i'm
pose such restraints as will protect
the people against extortion This
anti-monopoly movement is not at
I'LL conmunistic; but it il i calm and
respectable movement of law and
order loving citizens. who would de
strov certain evils which if let
alone might III time become s. bad
IL t. give life u III appalling com
munism.
People generally have rights
which railroad companies ought to
ne compelled II respect. The rates
charged should Dc as just and equal

nations between towns or invid- |
ulls should be allowed. And farm
erS claim, and with seeming justice
too, that they have 4 special claim

sum. As We have said before, the
object of the two organizations first
named is greater governmental con-

Autobiography League and the
