The widespread influence that the labor
organizations like the Knights Of Labor and
the more prosperous federation of labor
have had within the last ten years has not
been without its effect with the greatest
class among all Of the American laborers,
the men upon the farms. The decision of the
Farmers Alliance and the Farmers and
Laborers' Union to unite in federation, is
step that brings into view the great pro-
gress that the farmers have made in organ
ization within decade. Every one In
Maine has heard Of the Grange; everyone in
South Carolina and Georgia has heard of
the Farmers Alliance everyone in Arkansas
has heard of the wheel, the farmers order
that has frequently disturbed the reckonings
OF the politicians In the Southwest; and in
fact there Is not section of the country
that does not have its distinctive organ
iz,tion for the farmers. Most of these Or
CARNATIONS are secret In their workings,
though perfectly open in their aims. The
farmers hold that their industry is not re-
munerated as 1t should be, that much that is
theirs by right goes to middlemen and others
upon whom they are dependant for the
markets for their crops. and that taxation
and legislation discriminate against them
uniustly. To right their grievances the
farmers have been agitating for series of
years. Though repeatedly failing they have
persisted In organizing association after as
ISOLATION. Their very failures have taught
them, and today they are more accomplished
organizers than ever before and are making
their influence felt more effectively than
ever before. 1t cannot be sald that they
have always used their power wisely. In
Iowa their crusade against the railroads has
hurt the State without helping the farmers,
aud has given to granger legislation bad
name throughout the country. But it has
shown the power Of the farmers when they
are acting together, and this result is re-
membered when the memory Of certain
misuses of this power is forgotten. Today
the various orders are prosperous and grow
Ing as they never were before and the action
of the alliance and the union at St. Louis fore
shadows more extensive federation that
Shall include all the orders. Such a federation
would be tremendous power In the land,
and would have an influence even greater
than has been welded at various times by the
labor organizations. That the farmer would
gain any direct material benefits from such
triumph of his scheme Of organization does
not follow necessarily; but the indirect
benefits in social and intellectual point of
view cannot be estimated too highly.

The custom is to appoint on the committee
on rules, besides the Speaker, the chairman
of the ways and means committee and the
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions. The appointment of Mckinley and
Cannon on the committee is therefore inter-
preted to mean that the former is to head
the ways and means committee and the lat
ter that ON appropriations.

The difficulties of the Bangor electric rail-
way Illustrate the rapility of development of
electrical construction in this country. AS
winter comes on the Bangor road needs
many pieces of apparatus; but it has to wait
days and weeks for them because factories
are already overcrowded with orders from
all parts of the country. The demand for
electrical appliances is now far ahead of the
sunnlY.
