IT is not a pleasant thing to think
of any alien being refused American
citizenship because of his church at
tachments, but the ruling of Judge
Anderson against alien Mormons ap-
pears to be fully justified by the
nature of the oath to the church au-
thorities, which they are charged with
having taken. That oath is opposed
to good citizenship, and no man who
has taken it is fit to be made an
American citizen and voter.

New YORK newspapers have had
correspondents through Russia for
some time past investigating the re-

must have told too much of the truth,
as the Cars press consor has expelled

The National Farmers alliance,
which is just now attracting some
attention by attempting to organize
a class of men not much given TO
combining, has been in session at st.
Louis and perfected a national
organization. The following are
the principles adopted by this body:
That the public domain should be
reserved for actual settlers, and
that aliens should not be allowed to
acquire land in any state or territory;
that the law should be rigidly en-
forced with regard to railroads that
are not complying with their con.
tracts in regard to the distribution
of land; that there should be free
coinage of both gold and silver;
that the law should be amended
which permits loans to banks at
per cent while the farmers must pay
8 and 10 per cent; that the nationa
banking system is wrong in policy
and principle and should be replaced
by a system of national currency;
that taxes should lie levied on real
estate, mortgages and in addition
there should be a graded income
tax; that the liquor traffic is wrong
in any form and should be put down;
that the Australian system of vote
ing be adopted; that the tariff be re-
vised so as to leave the burdens
lightesi on productive labor; that
women suffrage be established.

For some time past there have been
rumors of union of the Knights of
Labor and the National Farmers
alliance. On December 9th such a
union was effected and hereafter the
organized bodies of farmers and
Knights may be expected to work
together. With a conservative
leadership and mutual regard for the
needs of each of the two classes rep
resented, there is 10 reason why the
new organization may not become
a power. But can the two bodies
harmonic? No class is SO conser-
vative as that made up of farmers.
None so slow to take part in new
movement. As class they hold to
methods and principles already tried
and proven and i'll this differ ma
terially from their allies, the knights.
1t is doubtful whether two bodies
of men so differently constituted can
long unite upon any settled plan of
action. United, they have it in their
power to control the politics of this
county and to remedy the evils
which they claim exists. Their sue.
cess or failure rests alone with them
selves.

With the death of Jeff. Davis
there passed from sight a man who,
for years, was the personification Of
all those principles antagonist to
the stability of the republic. y
leader of an indomitable will, he
lacked executive ability and tact
and the history of his official life as
president of the confederacy was one
of i'll conceived measures and inces-
SAINT intrigue. The successes achiev-
cd by the south were due, not to the
superior wisdom of Mr.. Davis or his
cabinet, but to a few of the generals
who were able to win victories in
spite of difficulty. Viewed in the
light Of later events it is fortunate
that Mr.. Davis lived as long as he
did. Had he been hanged for
treason, he would have been regard
ed by the southern people as
martyr,a saint canonized by public
opinion. History will put Jefferson
Davis down as statesman who,
by combination of circumstances,
was called upon to fill a position for
which he was not fitted and will
mark his record a failure.

THE UNKNOWN SUICIDE.

Now Believed to Be w. J. Armstrong of
 Merchantville, N. J.
 RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 2O.-The belief is growing that the man that killed himself on grave in Oakland cemetery here last Sunday, was w. J. Armstrong, who disappeared from Merchantville. N. J., on September 10, and for whom large reward is offered. The description given of Armstrong tallies with the ap pearance of the stranger except in age. The suicide was evidently carefully planned. In the watch pocket of the trousers was this note:
 Life is an awful burden to ono des- titute of friends and homeless. am not insane as some people say. Suffi- cient money will be found on my person to give mo Christian burial"
 The handwriting was that of a person of education. The friends of Armstrong have been communicated with, and an attempt was made to keep tho body un- til their arrival, but 1t was necessary to bury it on Tuesday.

The Governor paid high tribute to artisans and farmers who had made the fair the successs that 1t was.

She does, however, feel some regard for Charles Whippey, the lone juryman who hung out for two-year sentence, when she might have had ten but for his obstinacy. She will be free in twenty months if the usual allow ance for good behavior is made
 Rumors were rife here last night that Mrs. Hamilton had committed suicide, but they were soon contradicted.
 She will be removed to the penitent tI- ary next week. She has provided foy the care of the baby Beatrice.

SMALL BUT WICKED.
How Little Wretch of a Boy Broke H
 Sisters Heart.

How Little Wretch of Boy Broke His
 Sisters Heart.
 The compassion or the scorn with which the masculine mind regards the female of the race begins so early in life, says the Boston Courier, that it is most difficult to say whether it is the result of imitation or is one of the gifts of intuition. The small boy feels himself superior to his little sis ter quite without regard to whether he or she is the more clever. He is he and she is only she.
 A small fve-year-old lad, in whom this sense of masculine superiority was not wholly lacking, was one day arrayed in his first trousers. Standing before his sister, a couple of years younger, he drew himself up for her inspection and then proceeded to address her to this effect:
 "Kittie," he said, ''you can't never wear trousers."s
 He paused, apparently to let his words take their full effect.
 t'Kittie," he continued, "you can't never have amustache."
 He paused again and let this dreadful an- nouncement in its turn eat into his sisters soul; then he brought out the climax with triumphant thrill in his voice more elo- quent than any words could have been.
 ''KIttie, you can't never be a man mo- howp
 Poor, small Kittie, overwhelmed by these successive statements, of which she com prehended the import only as something un- speakably dreadful, and took that from the tone, probably, rather than from the words, looked at her brother one agonized moment, and then gave vent to her anguish in one wild howl, which brought nurse from one direction and mamma from another. At sight of the audience Kittie burst into tears and lamentations piteous to behold, and when the small boy was reproved for mak- ing his sister cry his answer was:
 "Well, just told her she'd always got to be a girl, 'cause thought she'd be disap- pointed if she got to be five and couldn't have on trousers.'
 There seemed to be nothing in particular which could be said to this, and the elders devoted themselves to assuaging the grief of the small girl as we'll as they might, leaving the boy to strut about in his new trousers in the full consciousness of having lone his duty to the weaker vessel.
