The advocate., 1889-10-12

Tho following from the Southern
Mercury in relation 10 b0tter elec.
tion law in Texas may bo quoted on
equally applicable 10 Kansas;
@ReEorms in the election laws are
becoming popular in many OF the
states, and the idea Of reform will
soon become general throughout the
country. Those states which have
enacted laws on the subject have en-
bodied tho leading features Of the
Australian law. TholeAding features
Of this law look to an absolute secret
ballot. In order TO secure this the
stato or county issues all the tickets al
the public expense, which are all uni
form in size and printed on but one
kind OF paper. These tickets contain
tho names OF all the candidates on
both sides with provision for placing
the names Of independent candidates
upon tho tickCts upon tho written re-
quest OF any number Of citizens.
These tickets are kept at the polls in
tho custody Of tho judges Of election,
and no one but tho judges are per-
mittedto give them out. When the
voter gets 10 the polls he is given u
ticket, and is required TO be entirely
Rlono when no prepares his ticket for
voting. After voting ho is required
toloaye the placeof voting at once.
No ono il allowed 30 remain at the
place OF voting after depositing his
ballot. The ticket peddler is not
found at tho polls because he is not
allowed TO handle tickets. These laws
contain other provisions not herein
stated bNt the foregoing are leading
features. These laws have been tried
for many years in Australia and Onn-
ada, and have proven very efficient in
securing fair elections In Wow OF
tho fact that money has become a
prime factor in the emNtter of controll-
ing the elections in the United States,
some such laws seem to be impera-
lively demanded. Ono Of the great
dangers which now menace the liber-
ties Of the people is the improper use
of concentrated wealth, in the matter
ofContrOlling elections. This evil ifal-
lowed to unrostrainod will increase
year by year, until it might become
so powerful that it would disfranchisC
one-half Of the voters Of tho country
undor some law imposing n property
qualification rs condition 10 the
right to vote. While Texas has not
as yet been brought completely under
the influence of the money rule rs
other states, still the danger is just
ahead Of us In Wow Of this fact it
would be wise for her people to look
for reforms in the matter Of holding
elections through more effective laws.

Exchange2
Old corn Of the crop Of 1883 is now
worth the munifcent sum Of nineteen
cents per bushel. This being the price
% this time, and tho largest crop ever
produced in the State being about
ready 10 harvest, what may farmers
expect TO realize for new corn' There
can be no doubt that the price will
still decline, and that il will remain at
a low figure until all that will be
offered for sale is thrown upon the
market. There is always a large
number Of farmers, who, in Conse-
ouence OF debt and ever presentpress-
ing necessities are compelled TO mar
ket their crop as soon as it is matured
at any price they can get for it.
These, though in greatestnoed Of re-
ceiving remunerative prices, inyaria-
bIy sell at a loss, while those who
could best endure such a sacrifice,
hold their products for better prices.
There is not q man engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits who is not thorough
IN satisfied that there is something
radically wrong in the system OF mar
keting agricultural products when
such results are possible; and there
ia not one who is not equally well
satisfied that there is u way to change
these conditions to the advantage OF
both producer and consumer. One
OF the great objects Of the various
organizations Of farmers all over the
country is to devise and carry into
effect plans to secure thisresult. The
exchange system, 0s deVelOpeu IN
States most thoroughly organized, is
one of the means for the accomplish
ment Of this result. Wherever it has
secured the confidence and support
Of the people it has been attended
with success. Right here, however,
"a the great difficulty in the way Of
success in accomplishing any good
through organization Of tho Ogricul-
t,iral classes. There is an almost
universal suspicion and distrust Of
every proposed method of relief.

not restrained fron cooperation in
matters pertaining TO their welfare
through suspicion Of The motives or
the integrity Of their associates, and
measures for the advancement OF
their interests receive their hearty
support II possessing the one only
essential quality Of merit.
This is not the caso however with
farmers. Realizing az they all do
tho imperative necessity Of some
measure Of relief from their present
depressed condition, bound together
as they are in the common bonds OF
q fratclnal organization, with common
interests and nominally u common
purpose, thcro is nevertheless a spirit
of distrust pervading the entire
fraternity that seriously retards every
proposed movement TO provide a rom
ody for existing evils, il it does not
eventually result in its defeat.
Everyone seems to foar tho develop
ment Of scheme by which some 9th
or member Of the Order is going to
make something. There isthis general
feeling Of distrust which is TO day re-
tarding tho most important measure
that has been proposed for tho relief
of Kansas farmers, tho State Ex-
change. Tho constitution OF this ex-
change was adopted Nt the meeting OF
the State Alliance in August Inst, and
was almost Immediately submitted TO
tho sub-alliances with the hope that
the response would be sufficiently
prompt to enable the board OF direc-
tors to do something with the firm
products Of the present year. A spoc-
ial request was subsequently sent out
that remittances should DO made in
time for tho Board Of Directors to
take some practical steps ut thor
meeting at Emporia tho LIST. OF Oct.
All this has failed to elicit sufficient
encouragement to place the Exchange
in position to commence businessup
10 this date. Time which waits for
no man is Fastening, and twill soon be
too late for the Exchange to do any
thing with the crop OF this yeOr. Our
members seem to prefer the payment
Of involuntary tributeto the shysters
who now control the markets, rather
than voluntarily contribute an insig-
nifoant amount to q measure OF relief
Of their own creation and under the
management Of their own representa-
tives: and all because Of q groundless
suspicion thAt 'thero is n niger in the
woodpile somewhere" though they
are not able TO say just where he is.
One of the most essential elements Of
That education which it IS the prov
ince Of tho Alliance to encourage, is
the necessity Of greater confidence in
each other, and less suspicion OF the
motives Of men whose interests are
identical. This is absolutely essential
to success in any undertaking, and

Showing the Outline Of Route Which is
Often Followed.
When person with delicate constitu-
ton hasa tendency to catarrh or consumption
whether this tendency is inherited or re-
suits from taking cold easily-it is notice
able that that person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nutri-
ton Is interfered with.
In such case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defective nutrition and tend to invigor-
ate the constitution.
1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence of
predisposition to consumption, and no
matter how slight the attack may be, 1t
should be treated with the greatest care, and
the treatment should be continued until all
traces of the catarrh have disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the smallest
tubes in the lungs-which condition Is indi-
Gated by the splitting up of yellow material
then immediate attention to the malady is de-
manded or serious lung trouble will result
Catarrh is, nine times out of ten, the cause
that produces consumption, and hence no one
can afford to neglect a case of catarrh, however
slight. 1t is easily cured, if taken in time and
treated regularly and correctly by a specialist
If left to itself it is rarely cured without a
change of climate, but with each new cold it
gets more and more troublesome, extending all
ways little deeper into the lungs until cure
becomes difficult and sometimes impossible

JoHNsTowN, June 2.-That the people in
the afflicted districts do not yet appreciate
all the horrors of their situation is manifest.
They are dazed from the suddenness of the
shock, and the reason of many is tottering on
the throne. Husbands speak of the loss of
their wives without a tear. Mothers relate
how their beloved children were swept from
them as if the occurrences were of an ordinary
character. Many who have lost their all tell of
it with apparent zest, as though it were some
thing to boast of and be proud of.
The food of water has given place to the
flood of excitement and when it is succeeded
by the calm that must surely follow. then, and
then alone will the sense of bereavement, great
and deep, reign supreme.
Upon the hill above Johnstown, this after
noon, came across two ladies and little boy.
The former were gazing vacantly about the
ruins of what had once been their happy home,
while the little one was prattling away as he
played amid the sands The elder of the two
was Mrs. Clark, wife of Superintendent Clark,
of the Cambria Iron Company. Her residence
was On Main street, and with her little family
house only 5C.se- rescued from her horrible
