OF Interest to District Schools.
The Msywille Republican calls at
tention to source OF revenue which
the common school districts should
not overlook. The Republican says:
"The school districts in this state
through which any railroad track
passes, or any railroad property is sit
naicd, will this year receive the bone
fit OF taxation upon such railroad
property, at the same ratio authorized
10 be levied for school purposes upon
other real estate thcrein. The law
provides that all taxes against any
railroad company in any school dis
trict shall be paid on or before the
10th Of October in each year to the
collector Of the district. This act
went into effect April 2, ls9O.'
Deputy Sheriff 6rasher.
Mr.. Curtis A. Brasher, Tor many
years ono OF the leading business men
OF Crofton and for twelve years part
ner Of Sheriff West, will become
deputy sheriff on Sept. ] and move to
this city. In appointing him Sheriff
West has very properly recognized
tho conservative and better element
OF the Republican party, from which
the Democratic ticket derived sub
stantial benefit in the late election.
Being an honest man and good citi.
zan, Mr.. Brasher, like many other Re-
publicans of like character, voted for
the men he believed would make the
best officers, among them W. NJ.
West for sheriff. Mr., Brasher will be
an addition to the force of deputies.
He is needed because Sheriff West
attends to his own books, instead OF
doing outside work and employing an
office deputy to take entire charge OF
the revenues. Mr.. Brasher is cousin
OF County Attorney-elect l.. 7. Bra
sher.
Railroad Talk.
The Hopkinsville & Cadiz Railroad
Company is being delayed in submit
ting a proposition by the Ohio Valley
Railroad people, who are promising
to submit another proposition that
will mean business and no mistake.
II the o. v. has such proposition,
let It be forthcoming, the quicker the
better. We have been putting our
hopes in them for three years and it
is time for them to shoot or give up
the gun. Let their third proposition
mean business from the start, and il
would not be bad idea for them to
begin work ON their southern exten-
sion before Hopkinsville is asked for
aid. This would restore confidence
in those who have lost faith in the
ability of the o. v. to keep its prom
ises. This Is not intended to throw
cold water on the 0. ", but to inn
press upon Col. Kelsey the importance
Of doing something at once; If he
really expects to come TO HopkinS-
vile. A great many of our people
prefer the II. 4 @. plan Of building q
competing road and il the o. v. prop |
osition, which has been awaited with
Impotence for six months, is not "a
fair and square one it will meet with
opposition from unexpected sources.

The Situation.

The Situation.
If the Champion understands it cor
rectly. what the Alliance aims at is not
to make war on any political party
simply because it represents certain
distinctively political ideas, but rather
as the Emporia Republican puts it,
"to take the control of party machin-
ev but of the hands of professional
politicians and keep it among the peo-
pie where it belongs, and to straighten
up parties and make them more con.
siderate of and attentive to the inter
ests and demands of agriculture"
If that is the purpose of the ALI
ance, and it evidently is, there can be
no reasonable objection to its endeav-
ers. for it must be admitted that, pos
sibly without design, the interests of
farmers have not received the consid-
Grafton they deserve, and that there
is every reason to spur up political
parties to do more than they have
been doing in the way of practical
and remedial legislation to conserve
the interests of this important class.
In this effort the Alliance will find
that the republican party which has
done more for agriculture than
any other political organization in this
county, will heartily cooperate in Sec
uring all reasonable compliance with
all just demands.
OF course the Alliance need not ex-
pect that the Republican party will
stultify itself by cooperating to pro-
mote anything that savors unadulter-
ated demagogery, or that is manifest
ly in the nature of an economic vag-
ary, as impractical as it is unfair.
The Republican party cannot and
and will not lend itself to any scheme
that seeks to revolutionize fundament-
al and established principles of econo-
mics and finance. 1t will not assist
to disturb or imperil the rights of pro-
perty or to invest any class with spec
ial prerogatives to the detriment of
any other class. 1t will not IN short
do anything which in the end will
prove positive injury to the farmers
and which will ultimately react to their
d sadvantage; but SO far as it can help
to secure much needed remedial leg
islation an equitable adjustment of
railroad freight rates: the free COIN
age of silver; the suppression of trusts
monopolies, combinations, gambling
in agricultural products; an equitable
system of taxation; economy in state
and county affairs; reasonable reduc-
ton of official salaries-so far as it
can assist to secure these things, and
whatever else may be necessary to pro-
mote the welfare not of the agricultur-
al, but of all classes the Republican
party may be relied on to cooperate
with the Alliance.
The aims of both organizations in
these particulars are identical, and
for this reason there is and can be no
antagonism between them and the
memters of the Alliance who have
gone into the movement in good faith
not for demagogical purposes,
will seek to accomplish their ends
within the lines of the republican par
ty and not by allying themselves
with political shysters who are trying
to run the Alliance in their own selfish
personal Atchison Cham
pion.
