While in Norton last Saturday we
called upon the next judge of this Jude
ial district, L. X. Pratt, and learned
that he had Just returned from trip
through the district and reported his
chances for being elected, more favor
bic than he could make himself believe
before personally visiting each county.
EYen In Ellis county, GilkesOn's own
-hOmes he had the assurance of all the
prominent men, including some demo-
Gratis, that he would get a splendid vote,
if indeed he did not get a majority.
While it may be barely possible that j.
X. Pratt viii fail TO carry one county IN
the district, we viii wager a brick watch
against a cancelled postage stamp that
he will carry every township in this
county. If this does not speak well for
a candidate, we would ike to know
what it would take 10 make people ont
side believe that 2 candidate is popular

REruBIcASs In New York are COM

are 1900 Republican pcstmasters in that
state, who are afraid to take any part in
political affairs lest the charge of often
sive partisanism cause their removals
consequently the Republican party
is deprived of It's former ablest and
most active workers. If these men were
removed every one Of them would become

can't see what is made by carrying the

GROWTH OF THE FARMERS AZ
LANCE

tNOU IN Of IHE fINM EHS' A.
LANCE.
Mr.. w. h. Garvin of Jacksboro has
written brief but interesting history of
the rise OF the Farmers alliance in Texas,
which shows that order to be in pros
porous condition and growing substantial
ly. Though the alliance has not spread with
the same astonishing rapdity as charac.
terlzed the grange groundswell of 1874
and 1875, its progress has been more sat
islactory and promising, and it gives
promise of more enduring existence.
The alliance movement was inaugural
ed in Jack county about 1878 or 1879, but
little effort was made to extend it until
about 1881, when branches were formed
IN other counties. AS the possibili-
ties OF the principles OF co-opera-
ton began to impress the minds of
farmers, its growth was accelerated
wonderfully, and it soon began to assume
the proportions of state institution II
now has a perfected state organization,
and extends to all parts Of the state.
Under vigorous system of propaganda
ism Its growth is limited only by the field
of agriculture in the United States, which
it is destined to cover.
The principles OF the alliance are
worthy of confidence. They teach sobrie-
ty, morality, benevolcnce, and the virtues
tof cooperation. The order in its en-
tlrety looks to the good of every ndl-
vidual member, The strong help the
weak, and in the strength of all is found
the protection of each With such princi-
pies rightly carried out, nothing but good
can come OF the spread of its influence
in every state OF the Union.

THERE rs NO PEACE.

Prohibition has not brought peace to
Kansas. 1t has not come to bring peace,
but sword, amongst the jayhawkers.
Though the constitution prohibits as
strictly as words can prohibit the vending
of intoxicating liquors in that state, ag-
gressivc saloon-men continue to hold the
fort on the blood-staned soil OF the
Prairie state.
The rural village Of Valley Falls is all
distracted One Curtis proposed to
open a saloon there, and to sell whisky
to whoever would buy and pay down. The
prohibition element had him arrested, but
he obtained an anti-prohibition jury and
was acquitted Then the Prohibitionists
armed themselves and sent him word TO
betake himself to other fields. The
whisky men loaded themselves down
with guns and returned defiance. The
other side dared them and they sent back
double-dare, and suggested that any
body who would take dare would steal
a sheep. Pacific mutual friends attempt
cd to negotiate an armisticc preliminary
to a treaty of amty, but the latest news
does not bring the assurance that white
winged peace has yet spread her wings
over the theater of war, and anxious
hearts wait in dread the issue of the CON
hict.
We are told that prohibition insures
love of one's fellows, and that rows and
disturbances aillct only those ungodly
people who look upor the pot-liquor
when it is red but we don't remember
Iany circumstance in ntl-prohlDition
Texas that has disturbed the peace worse
than prohibition has in Kansas. Well,
let the bosom of destruction sweep.
There is much trash in that state that can
well be spared
