The Farmers Alliance.
| New York Herald. |

Keep your weather eye on the Farm
ers' Alliance. 1t is getting to be a
powerful organization, and if 1t cor
tinues to grown in the next two years as
it has grow during the last tHo it will
become a political factor in the cam
paign Of 1892.
1t represents a tendency of The times
the tendency toward a paternal gov
crnment-which in our Judgment is
fraught with boandless danger. The
Alliance must think little more pro-
foundly or this subject. Its present
position is that of "a lyro in political
economy. As it grows Older, however,
it will probably grow wiser, and so be-
come healthy, hearty, vigorous and
inspiring element in our American
life.
The bottom fact is that the govern
ment at Washington should be curtail. d
not enlarged. y president is nothing
more than the peoples servant. If he
is ever allowed to become their master,
you may as well order tombstone, for
our liberties will laDguish and die.
The less government you have, the
better of the people are; the more you
have, the worse OF are the people. 1t
is the peoples business to run this
country, not The presidents. The
Alliance folk must come round to that
basis before they can stand firm.

Political Tidbits.
From the Louisville Courier-J Journal

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.l
AS all impartial observer of current
events, We desire to say that there ap-
pear to be entirely too many Demo-
Gratis in the country at the present
time.
There are about 100000 fewer peo-
pie in the country in 1890 than Were
looked for, but the elections show that
there are at least 100000 too many
Democrats.
Thereturns from Pennsylvania show
that while most Of the Republicans Of
the State must have gone to the polls,
large portion of them voted the DEM
ocratic ticket.
The chastening rod Of defeat may
occasionally be applied with advantage
to a political organization, but wear
ing out hickory stick on the soft
parts is a little too much of good
thing.

by men reporters Of two conventions of
women which were held recently in
New York city-conventions by many
delegates representing thousands of
women all over the land-were, for the
most part. perfectly exasperating in
their laundering inaccuracy, their
stupid Indifference, and their utter
frivolity and flippancy. There are
scores of cleyer newspaper women in
New York; but only two or three pa

they were set to do this work.

She Knew.

From the Philadelphia Record.
An uptown teacher asked a girl how
many bones there were in her body,
aud the glib girl nearly swallowed her
chewing gum in her haste to answer
POS. "Wrong, there are only 2O7," said
the teacher. "Ies'm," was the trium-
phant response "but swallowed fish
bone today"

Barefooted Scotch Girls.
From the Chicago News |.

In the rural parts of Scotland the
young women 60 barefooted most Of
the year. On Sundays these buxom
damsels may be seen proceeding TO
church with their shoes in hand and
their stockings hung properly over
their arms. When they reach the
churchyard they sit down on the grass
and with more ease than modesty pro-
ceed to don their hosen and shoon, for
it would be regarded quite improper to
enter the kirk without these articles of
attire properly disposed.

The Old Mans Opportunity.
| From the Chicago Tribune.

"What is your idea, Mr.. Smith, /"
asked the friend who had dropped in
to look at the baby, "in calling the
little fellow John? Aren't there enough
John Smiths already?"
81 named that boy John instead OF
Montmorency or We're de We're or Alger-

at the infant, "because want him TO
feel, when he grows up to be a young
man of the period, that there was one
time in his life when his father had
the bugle on him."

ESTABLISHED 1865.

4 lawsuit foil owed which was carried
up to the Supreme Court of the United
States and exhaustively argued.
The following is extracted from the
decision Of the court-opiuion delivered
by Chief Justice Waite:
The act of 1876 requires payment of
the United States before q distribution
of profits to stockholders. Not word
is said about restoring capital; in fact
there is 10 mention Of capital at all.
The act Of 1872 is not repealed. On
the contrary it is left in full force in
every particular save that the liberty
incurred to the United States is made
payable after those contemplated by
the act of 1872 are satisfied in full. In
this the United States made conces-
sion to creditors, but not to the stock
holders. Neither was anything taken
from the stockholders they retain
all the rights which the act of 1872
gave them. If there had been no op-
position by Congress, the corporation
would have been driven to the necessi-
ty of raising the required means, by
borrowing or further sale of stock. If
by borrowing the debt 50 created would
have to be paid with the others before
there could be any dividend to stock
holders. If by sale Of stocks the new
stockholders would come in pro rata
with the old upon the final division Of
assets, Congress might have advanced
the money by loan rs we'll as upon the
conditions it did impose. 1t might
also have subscribed to the stock. If
loan had been made and there had
been no waiver of the legal rights Of
the government as a creditor this debt
would have preference over all others
H 3a-E2e The order of payment. Ifstock had
been taken, the government would
have participated in the final distribu-
ton like any other stockholder. 1t
seemed best, however, to adopt neither
of those plans, and another was de-
vised, by which creditors were given
preference, and the United States re-
mitted for their indemnity to the fund
which might remain after all the debts
were paid.
"To this the Incorporation operated and
the stockholders cannot now COM
plain. Creditors were protected AMI
stockholders not injured

The Bethel mission Sunday schools
were well attended yesterday.
Old Jupiter Pluvius knocked the bung

rents of rain fell in Fort Worth like the
original deluge.

HE WAS GAINED.
A Former Fort worthits Recognized by His
Fellow CitiZans.


Fellow Citizans.
The following clipped from the Biz
mingham (Ala.) News of September 10
refers to a former Fort Worthite who has
not yet dropped from the memory of h is
old acquaintance. Mr.. L. C. McAllister is
brother OF Mr.. W. j. McAllister, now
of Fort Worth:
Las t Saturday evening Mr.. L. C. Nc
Allister, who has done faithful service for
the Smith s. Montgomery book and sta
tlonery company for the past four years,
severed his connection with that house on
account of failing health, and when the
hour of closing came Mr.. McAllister was
called to the office, and amid the officers
and employees of the company was pre-
sented with an elegant gold headed cane
by Mr.. w. NJ. Brock, the book keeper,
who said:
'Mr. McAllister, in behalf of the en-
ployes and officers of the Smith s.
Montgomery book and stationary COM
pany have to express TO you our sincere
regret that the condition of your health
renders il necessary for you to sever
your connection with this house, and to
assure you of the confidence and esteem
in which you are held by all connected
with this house as man of strictest in
tegrity-'God g most noble handiwork =
an honest man. And in hoping for you
speedy return OF health and wishing
you q future of success and happiness,
we beg to present you with this cane
as slight testimonial thereof, and ask
that you wear it, as you have served the
house continually.
Mr.. McAllister was completely sur
prised, but managed to say that he
appreciated the present very much, but
priced the expressions accompanying it
more than he could express. 1t was
handsome and we'll merited testimonial,
aud the remarks of both Mr.. Brock and
Mr.. McAllister were received with hearty
applause by ali present.

Why Should the City's Business be Managed
Differently From That of the Citizen?

Why Should the City's Business be Managed
Differently From That of the Citizen?
FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 20, 1880.
Editor Gazette.
see from the press that a discussion is
going on relative to the health depart
ment of the city. There need be no
trouble about this matter if it be treated
simply as bushels and on purely busi-
ness principles.
Let each alderman for the time being
diyest himself wholly of the idea of be-
ing only an agent, but in imagination
let him own Fort Worth as If it were @
colossal farm or other species of prop
erty, and that it devolved upon him to
manage it. l imagine that this is
about the way he would reason.
The citizens want law and order and
protection of life, therefore l will form
police system, but the policemen will
need someone to direct and control them,
therefore l will organize police system
with a marshal to superintend, direct
and control. 1t is true it will cost some-
thing to have a marshal, but without
him the police force will amount to
nothing in the way of efficiency.
Next, in order that the citizens may
be secure against fire, 1 will organize q
fire department with u directing and
controlling head.
1 will organize department OF educa-
ton, with a man at its head to guide and
direct it. And last but not least. must
look to the health of the people, mas
much as ''publio health is public
wealth. There are diseases against
which the people individually cannot
contend. They can't prevent ignorant
or unprincipled individuals from spread
ing contagious diseases, and they can't
prevent them from poisoning the atmos-
phere with filth. They are liable to be
imposed upon by avaricious scoundrels
who water the milk that is sold, who sell
diseased meat, fish and stale vegetables
and fruits, who palm off sham plumbing
for good work. They are liable to
have the health of their children i'm
paired-even their lives sacrificed
by improperly ventilated or heated
school houses. Therefore l will estab-
lish health department, just as 1 have
q police, q fire and q school department,
with chief or executive officer to see TO
it that the regulations of the health de-
partment are duly observed and fully
carried out.
Would not this be business, done IN a
business-like way, grounded on common
sense and good reasoning? Why should
the city's business be managed different
from that of q private Individual?

AWFUL.
A Switch Engine DaShcs Into the
Rear OF an Excursion Train.
Several Mangled Corpses Taken from Tia
Wreck-A Number OF People Ser
iously Injured

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 2l.-At s clock
tonight a switch engine on the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy railroad ran into
the rear end of an excursion train
on the Illinois Central near
Eighteenth street. The collision
resulted in frightful tragedy.
For time the confusion was so grea.
that even an idea of the loss OF life was
impossible 10 obtain. The first reports
from the police had it that forty people
had met death, while the railway olIirlas
say only two or three persons were
certainly known to have been killed.
Within half ga hour seven muuglci
corpses had been dragged out OF the
heap of broken timbers that marked the
spot where the collision had taken place
BY this time it had also been asCeTtaiueI
that at least three people were seriously
injured and six others slightly.
The collision took place near Douglas
park, and the victims were Sunday ex-
cursionists just reaching the city on Their
way home from an afternoon 5 outing.
The freight train crew, when questioned,
asserted they passed MuIau
avenue under clear sig
nal. Willard avenue is only
short distance from where the smashup
occurred, and the freight crew claim
that when the crash came the red lights
on the rear of the Illinois Central train
were burning with extreme dimness. To
this the fearful result following was IT.
tributed without hesitation.
