We publish on the fourth page Sena-

doubtless be read with interest. Ia this
connection we will say that Senator
Demas has assured US, and his state
msnt is verified by other persons, that
he was not absent as reported when
the final vote was taken on
the bill. He was present, bu.
refrained from voting because he de.
sired to move reconsideration. To
do that he had to vote with the usioy-
ity. II he did 30, he feared that the
President of the Senate might not
recognize him to make his motion.
and his vote would remain
recorded for the bill, and in years 10
some he might never be able
10 make people understand how il was
hus. So hs did not vote, hoping

during the visit OF the delegates of
the American Citizens Equal Rights
Association to Baton Rouge, in an
informal conference with tie colored
legislators, he was the only one who
| agreed with TIE CRUSADER, that the
colored members withheld their votes
until the car bill was defeated.
He was the only Senator present
at the conference, if We remember
vel, ,and none of the Representatives
accepted the proposition. Represent
ative Allain thought the protest too
strong, and to satisfy him, and for
the success of the cause, portion
was eliminated. But he did not de-
fend the cause any more for that,
and the cause did not succeed.
The bill is now q law. The next
thing is what are we going to do
The first thing to do is, as Mr.. Des-
Dunes the staunch young Republican.
we'll suggests in another column, to
cease feeding the railroads by those
excursions that are in themselves q
curse to the colored psools, aud to
travel only when necessary. The
next is for the American Citizens
Equal Rights Association to begin
to gather funds to test the constitu-
tionality of this law. Well make
a case, test case, and bring it
before the Federal Courts on the
ground of the invasion of the right
a person to travel through the States
unmolested. No such case has
been fairly made or pre-
sented. The American Citiz 3ns'
Equal Rights Association will make
it, If il understand it's duty.

KAssAs Crry. March ls.-The Farmers
Alliance In Kansas Is growing so rapidly
both in members and perfection of organi-
zation, that they have become decidedly q
disturbing factor in politics.
Nearly every county in the whole state
Ii organized. and nearly every farmer in
each county is a member OF the organiza-
ton. This thorough organization has made
the order exceptionally strong in local poll
tics, where their immediate interests are
ct stake.
The various branches OF the alliances
have generally decided TO support only
those candidates who coincide with their
views and adopt their principles. In state
politics similar action has been decided
upon and it has even been proposed to run
farmer candidate for Governor in the per-
son of A. w. Smith OF Atchison.
The organization has already got its
finger in the national political pie. The
president OF the Kansas alliance has ad-
dressed to the Kansas senators and repre-
sentatives at Washington letter inform
ing them OF the belief among the farmers
that the depression of the agricultural In
terests is due 10 vicious legislation, and de-
manding that some attention be paid TO
their interests. II says that the time Is not

WAsHissros CrrT, Mch is.--In the House
today sayers discussed the position Of the
system as affected by both acts of congress
and the administration OF the service He
cited statistics to show that from July l..
1850, 70 January 1. 1880. the expenditures
Of the government for pensions were ST.
100 326.0l7, that expenditures for pensions
for the past fiscal year were $6a. I3l ,96s;
that expenditures for pensions from March
4, l7s9. to June 30. 1861, throughout Q
period OF 72ls years, were $50. 7SS. .S27, and
the excess pension disbursement for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1889. over PEN
sions from l7s9 to 1861, period of 72is
years, was s., s3s, ,6ll.
He severely criticizes the administration
OF the pension Office and cited many in
stances where, he claimed, the decisions of
the bureau were faulty and improper. He
wished to call attention to the manner in
which the pension system il being admin
stored. He thought there should be .
thorough investigation of the system in
order that complete justice should Be done
to men who had fought for their country,
and that bounty jumpers should be stricken
from the roll.
Peters said that for the first time in the
history of the country. the House had be-
fore IL careful and concise estimate of
what the expenditures OF the pension
bureau would be during the next fiscal
year. He defended the administration Of
the bureau. While he had not defended I'll
acts of Commissioner Tanner, he could
only say that that oficeF had followed III
the wake OF his predecessor. General Black.
