IT NAV be true that Uncle Jerry
Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, can
drive a four-horse wagon, but never

pleased with the administration chat
placed him in the position he now
occupies. Secretary Trimble, of the
National Grange, says: I'VE do not
hesitate to say that the administra-
ton has ignored the rights Of the
farmer and has done the farming
community gross injustice in placing
a politician who never was farmer
at the head of the Department of
Agriculture. That Department was
made a Cabinet Office principally
through the efforts of the Grange,
and when the new administration
came in we felt we had a right 10 sug-
gest the name of the proper person to
fill it. Colonel j. III. Brigham, our
Master; Ex-Governor Robey, Of Maine.
and Hon. ]. J. Woodman, of Michigan,
were suggested by the order, and
their appointment urged, that of
Colonel Brigham's especially. He
was gallant soldier, practical
farmer and Republican, whose 10y
atty to the party had never been
questioned. The others possessed
meritorious qualifications. which
made their candidacy equally prom
inent, and yet 1 very much doubt if
Harrison ever considered the appli-
cation made on their behalf. He
deliberately ignored the entire order
-snubbed it, in fact"

A New England Labor Advocate on the
Proposed Labor Alliance.
FALL RIVER, Mas, July l9-Secretary
Howard, OF the Spinners' union, was inter
viewed yesterday in regard to the proposed
alliance of all the great labor organizations
of the country suggested by the recently
issued circular of Mr.. Powderly and Others.
Howard said that he had little faith in the
feasibility of the proposed organization. as
the interests which it was proposed to bene-
At were too widely divergent characters TO
reap the same intelligent aud prompt RENE
dial measures might be expected from q
less complicated and cumbersome body.
Textile Workers Against 1t
Textile workers of New England, Mr.
Howard was satisfied, would not look favor
ably upon the proposed amalgamation, as
they were satisfied that more direct and
profitable method of settling wage disputes
and obtaining redress for grievances was
through the medium Of organizations repre-
s.Hting solely tho branch of industry in
which they were engaged
The knights Dead in New England.
The Knights OF Labor said Mr.. Howard
ARE practically dead in New England and !
don't believe their former power can be re-
stored. Their mismana-ement, or worse of
their recent strike of the Worcester shoe
makers destroyed all hope of their future
usefulness. This latest movement is a scheme
on the part Of some OF the leaders to recoup
their fallen fortunes and recover the pres
tige they held in former days

FRANCIS MURPHY. the great temper

FRANCIS MURPHY, the great temper
ance lecturer and writer. is quoted by the
st. Louis Republic as speaking thusly:
THE defeat of prohibition everywhere is
a good victory for temperance. Prohibi'
ton is Phariseeism, fraud and hypocrisy.
1t is an attempt to bring the church and
state together and the people will not
permit IT, Statutory laws do not stop
the sale of whisky. and the best thing that
can be done is to regulate and mitigate
the evil in legitimate way. 10 Maine
whisky is sold in every town. OF course
prohibition works splendidly in Maine.
because they know that they can get
whisky whenever they desire it. The
death knell of prohibition is sounded.
High Incense and restrictive measures will
promote the cause of temperance. and
the people are sensible enough to see it. y
Such language from one of the greatest
Temperance workers of the age and the
father of the celebrated Murphy move
ment should have some weight with the
thinking people Of the United States.

fact that the only house ever built by the
father of his country in Washington City is
still standing and seemingly in good repair.
1t is situated near the capitol grounds, not
far from the Baltimore and Ohio depot, on
North Capitol street The house was origi-
nally three-story brick, but when the street
on which it stands was graded two more
stories were added, making it five-story
building which is now used for a hotel. Some
of the rooms are pretty much in the same
condition they We're when occupied by the

furniture said to lie still secreted about
the house. just why this old landmark is
