Foraker was badly scratched in
Ohio, and the State is in doubt. The

Both parties claim Iowa, but there
are heavy Democratic gains

the result is close, but apparently

Abbott was elected in New Jer-

Pennsylvania elected a Republican

THE resolution passers" of
Marshall refrained for a day last
week in order to shoot dogs. The
change was very gratifying to the
entire State, except, of course, to
the dogs, and there are nearly one
hundred dead dogs to show for that
one days work, while not a single
scalp, even of the smallest politi-
clan can be displayed as the result
of miles upon miles of rank resolu-
tions, emenating mostly from men
who think they are statesmen. We
presume resolutions would have
been resorted to in order to get
clear of the dogs if a statesman had
died of hydrophobia instead OF
just a plain citizen. The dog-kll-

SOME one, envious of Mexico's
rapid growth, says Mexico is not
getting anything" Is that SO ?
Mexico is getting everything. She
is getting to the front, and if she is
getting to the front without getting
anything to help her forward, so
much the better for Mexico. There
is not a vacant store loom or resi-
dence in Mexico, and there is
demand for both. Not less than
three hundred heads of families
have moved to Mexico during 1889,

Missouri has two little cities
which are especially noted for the
progressive spirit, morality and
intelligence of their citizens, and
here is how they stand politically.
The first Is Roeheport, which has
a population of 1000 inhabitants,
and the voters are all Democrats,
with the exception of two white
Republicans, four Prohibitionists
and six soreheads. The second is
Miami, IN Saline county, with a
population of considerably over
1000 and all OF the voters save
three are Democrats. The three
exceptions are good Republicans.

but it's no affair of mine if they
never pay it. I've all [ can do to
look after my own bills without
bothering my head about my
neighbors, but l do think it's
mighty small business to let milk
bill go unpaid. It's most as bad as

erwoman for six weeks and her

That was about the smallest thing
I ever heard of. It's no wonder
Mrs. Green can have a new silk

care how many silk dresses she
has, and it's nothing to me if Mrs.
Hill has six bonnets a year. l
might have a dozen bonnets T. year
if l wasn't particular whether
they was ever paid for. But if
my husband drank like Mr.. Hill
drinks, I'd think of something else
beside bonnets. But trouble OF
that kind never worries some peo-
pie. And there's the Synders.

when they know that half the

OPENING WORDS.

Absalom's conspiracy had been
conducted so secretly that all
seemed lost before David had any
suspicion of it. Present resistance
was useless. He had no sufficient
force with which to defend his CAPT.
tai against the rebels. He left
Jerusalem and continued his fight
until he came to Mahanaim, a
walled town east of the Jordan.
Had Absalom followed up his first
successes the fate of his rebellion
might have been different. But a
delay of three months gave David
time to rally his forces. He FORM
ed it into three divisions and
placed Joab, Abishai and Ittai in
command of them. He proposed
to place himself at the head of the
army, but was prevailed upon to
remain in the city. The decisive
battle was fought in a dense forest,
not far from Mahanaim. Absa-
Iom's army was routed, and Absa.
lom was slain.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The National Economist was adopted as
the official organ by the National Farmers
Alliance and the National Wheel at their
recent meeting in Meridian, Miss, and a
contract was closed for the publication of
the paper at the city of Washington, D. G.
1t has been started and is a credit to the
management and the order at large. tits
devoted to social, financial and political
economics, and will rank among the first
journals Of the country, in giving reliable
information as to the sciences expressed in
plain, simple Language that will be easily
understoo,', c1mprehended and remem-
bered by tle youth of the coming genera
tons. It's Columns are not filed with
neighborhood correspondence, neither are
they teemlng with current news, Of crimes
and casualties, ball games and sports. 1t
in no way conflicts with the legitimate
field occupied by State Alliance organs in
the various States, as it occupies a distinct
field Of its own, dealing in the powers that
underlie the formation of this great organ
~ization, that is calculated, if anything on
earth is calculated, to relieve the depressed
condition Of agriculturalists. In this field,
the National Economist is destined to
prove a reliable auxiliary to the State
organs, and no member Of the order, MOI
farmer nor person interested in farming,
can afford to be without both the State
organ, and the National Econ0neist, For
this reason special arrangements have
been~made by which the two can be Sc
cured for about the same amount usually
paid for one, and The P~RoGREssIvE FARMER
and National Economist will be sent to one
address one year for S1.75. Subscribers
who commence with the Economist should
do so with the first number, and thus Sc
cure the full text of a series Of articles on
the now important subject of finance:
transportation and land. These series of
articles widsbe run throdghoutsthe year
arriving attic conclusion after the argu-
meht> have t4aep fully presented on all
sides. Send in your subscriptions at once.
Remember that $l.75 secures both papers
for one year. Strictly cash IN GdUance.
