The State Farmers Alliance o:

The State Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota propose to have hand in
the national politics of '92. A call
has been sent to the county alliances
of the state for convention OF the
Minnesota Farmers Alliance to be
held in st. Paul Dec. 30, 1890. The
county alliances are instructed to call
conventions, at which each local ALI
ance is to have three delegates. These
county alliance conventions are to
elect delegates to the state convention,
who are to be prepared to stay in st.
Paul two days Unnecessary" The OBJ
ject of the state convention, it is
understood, is to take steps toward
the organization of a national Alliance
political party. Emboldened by their
success, says the Pioneer Press, the
farmers of the state propose to take a
still more lively part in the next cam
paign, and seeing that already the Re
publicans and Democrats are prepar-
ing for 1892 the Alliance men have
made up their minds that they must
have a finger in the national political

Mills of Texas.

Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, wants to
be speaker of the lower House of Con
gress. A Washington correspondent
says; Elevated to that position ne
would create more fun than a whole
cage of monkeys Mills is man
who not only lacks polish, but is alb
solutely devoid of the finer suscepti-
bilities of refined life. For example,
when Samuel J. Randall was in feeble
health and all of his friends knew
that his death was only question OF
few months, he asked an extension
Of fifteen minutes time to finish his
speech on the tariff bill in 1888.
Randall was ex-speaker of the house,
Democrat, strong partisan, one OF
the ablest men in the country, chair
man of the committee on appropri-
ations, and no one for an instant sup
posed that his request for unanimous
consent of fifteen minutes additional
time would be refused, when Mills, OF
Texas, rushed down the aisle like the
half-crazy man that he is, and shouted, !,
II object" The great man from Pen
nsylvania looked around, as surprised
and astounded probably as Caesar
looked upon Brutus when he, with
rank ingratitude, stabbed him, but
Mr.. Randall said nothing. AS he took
his seat with unfinished speech grim
smile of contempt for the pismire in
his way swept over his classic face.
Then Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio took the
floor and his first words were: "Mr.
Speaker, yield fifteen minutes out
of my time to the distinguished gen
tleman from Pennsylvania"
Sam. J. Randall finished his last
great speech by the courtesy of Viii
liam Mckinley, after having been in IN
suited and gagged By this same Mills
of Texas hr. Breckenridge of Ken
tncky tried to explain away the asinine
blunder of Mills by saying that the
Democratic side would yield fifteen
minutes to Mr.. Randall, if the Re
publican side would yield like fifteen
min11tes TO some Democrat who might
want additional time. But Mr.. Ran
dali waved him aside, saying: "Words
cannot explain away what has been
done. The gentleman from Ohio
has relieved me of that humiliation.
For my own part, l should like to see
Mills in the chair. He would make
more news than bushel of monkeys,
and the press gallery would be
happy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The unofficial

Fifty second congress, which has been

Democrats Said to Favor an Extra ses-

Measures Which Will Be Passed if
Possibie---How the Fifty-second Con-
sress VIII BE Constituted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Nearly every
train arriving from the West brings to
the capital one or more members CT the
Fifty-frst congfsss, the last session of
which will convene ON Monday next.
BY the middle of this week the Capital
City will have settled itself for the usual
gaieties and hustling which invariably
accompanies the short sessions. Work
sufficient to keep the respective houses
busily engaged seven hours each day un-
til spring time has been mapped out by
different statesmen, who have been in
terviewed upon their arrival here. At
the present writing no definite idea can
be given as to what will engage the
time of the session beyond the consider.
alton of the several regular appropria-
tion bills. The indications warrant the
the assertion that the pension appro-
priation bill will be the most earnestly
debated measure, owing to the enor-
nous proportions it is reaching.
e VIII Try Hard for Free Coinage.
The silver men are determined if pos
Gible to force through a free coinage bill.
They are strongly impressed with their
ability to accomplish the work in the
senate where they will have the assist
ance of the new senators from Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming. There will
not be sufficient strength, however, to
carry such bill over a presidential
veto, which is almost certain to follow
Its passage; although some Of the strong
est adherents to free coinage express the
belief that the president will not antag-
onize such a measure after giving it ma
ture consideration. The recent Demo-
cratic success, it is claimed, will figure
greatly to their advantage.
Apportionment and Election Bills.
Representative Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, is of the opinion that the house
will certainly pass an aPportionment
bill and that the senate will complete
the work of the majority by passing the
election bill. Mr.. Lodge also ventures
the opinion that "if the Democrats get
an extra session next spring it will be
the beginning of the end fer them" He
thinks Mr. Mills will win the speaker
ship contest. Many Republicans enter
tain this opinion. The announcement
that strong lobby is on its way to
Washington with view to secure the
enactment of legislation which will lead
to the
Disfranchissment of the Mormons
has created quite commotion in polit-
ical circles. There are two bills now
pending in the respective houses which
propose to take the privileges of the
franchise from any person aiding, abet-
ting or countenancing polygamy, or who
may be attached to any institution that
does. Friends of the Mormons hold that
to pass either of these measures would
be'very unjust, as the Mormon church
has sincerely acknowledged allegiance
to the laws of the United States. It
does not appear, however, that there
will be any time for the consideration Of
such bills during this session.

A BOILING LAKE,
One of Nevadn's Curious Natural Phe-
nomena Described.

One of Nevada's Curious Natural Phe-
nomeDa Described.
From the Virginia new Enterprise.
Recently an item has been going the
rounds in regard to u boiling lake near
Lassen's Peak, California. 1t is not gene
rally known, but we have in Nevada a
similar boiling lake. II is situated at the
eastern base of the first large mountain
range east of the Sink of the Carson Il
lies on the edge of an immense desert-a
desert so large and scorching that in sum-
mer the Indians never attempt to cross it
except ut night, aud even then they always
go provided with large supply of water.
On three sides of the lake are rocks two or
three hundred feet high, which are per-
fectly bare and are burned to deep brick
red. The area of the lake is about two
acres. Though steam is constantly rising
from the water the whole surface of the
lake does not boil. The agitation-boilng
is confined to the great springs which
burst up at several points. These springs
force columns of water from a foot 10 two
or three feet in diameter to a height of over
70 inches above the general surface of the
lake, causing loud. ripping sound and
considerable local commotion, The water
of the whole lake is doubtless boiling hot,
though not seen To boil, for brook How
ing from it down into the sands of the
desert sends up cloud of steam for dis
tance Of several hundred yards. About a
mile from the lake is a great deposit of
sulphur, running through which are
streaks of pure alum from two To six
inches wide.
