In Minnesota.


ST. PAUL, March 6.-The annual ses-
son of the Minnesota Farmers alliance
II ct here Tuesday. Nearly four hun
dred delegates were present.
Deputy state Lecturer Fish painted a
dark picture of how the farmers are
being robbed by the boards of trade of
minneapolis and Chicago, which raised
or lowered the price of wheat as they
pleased and held the starving farmers at
their mercy. 1t was time he declared
that the big gambling hell in Chicago
was wiped out of existence, and if the
farmers rose in their might that might
be accomplished.
w. S. Grove, county lecturer, followed
in similar strain.
During the morning hours it devel-
oped that there are three factions, one
favoring an endorsement of Albert Shelf
fer, the Republican candidate for gov
ernor; a second wants Merriam, the
present governor, endorsed, and third
asks that the alliance break away from
the old parties and place Ignatius DON
nelly, the sage of Ninniger, in the field
on a Farmers Alliance tariff reform
platform.
The Shelter people are in power and
will likely remain SO. There are now
nearly no alliances in the state, with
. total membership of over 10000. Of

OF the Minnesota Alliance.
CHICAGO, March GA Herald special
from Topeka, Kas.. says:
The continued rapid growth of the
Farmers Alliance in Kansas is phenom-
email. In some counties of the state nine
out of ten of the farmers belong to the
organization. which is destined to revo-
lutionize politics in the sundower state.
Judge w. A. Piffer, editor of The
Kansas Farmer and the recognized leader
of the alliance movement, asserts boldly
at this early day that the alliance is GER
tain to elect the next legislature. When
asked, Tuesday, if members elected by
the alliance would support Senator In
gals for reelection. he said:
THAT depends entirely upon the posi-
ton taken by Mr. Ingalls,. I some time
since addressed letter to Mr.. ingalls,
with the questions:
First What legislation, if any, do
you recommend by way of relief to
farmers in the present depressed con-
dition Of agriculture?
''Second-Do you favor an increase in

''Third-in what resre.t, if at all, and

Fourth DO ,ou favor free and I'M

up to This date the request had not

Why the Census is Imperfect

Why the Census Is Imperfect.
The well-nigh universal complains
that the new census fails to enumer-
ate oil the people has probably some
basis in fact. An absolutely perfect
census cannot be taken; but there it
one point in the census regulations
that has generally escaped observa-
tion, and may explain why many
names are not recorded. The emu
merators are given SO much per name,
a different rate for city and country,
but not equitable for all parts even
of the same enumerator's district.
He takes the names that can be got
most easily, perhaps calls a second
time for. those he cannot get at first,
andifhe fails to find the Information,
gives it up as o bad job. This is un-s
questionably q cheap way 10 get the
census taken, but paying by the day
would undoubtedly secure fuller re-
turns. As the United States will not
take another census until 1900, by
that time it can afford to enumerate
every inhabitant regardless Of ex-
pense. Owing to the great import
ance of the census politically the
most thorough enumeration possible
should be made every time. It is
much as if q farmer wished to have
a quantity of grain hand threshed.
II he paid only by the bushel the
thresher would be tempted to thresh
out only what came easiest, and let
the remainder 60 into the straw
stack. !.

Points About the Hair Brush.

Points About the Hair Brush.
There is another consideration in
connection with the use of the hair
brush, which, though it may scarce
" need mention, should not he over.
looked The brush should be kept
clean. 1t gives one a shudder to see
the brushes and combs that are
sometimes supplied at places of pub
lie resort. No one should ever think
of using public hair brush any
more than a public tooth brush, un.
less it becomes a matter of absolute
necessity; but the fact remains that
the individual article requires to be
properly cared for, else it becomes an
instrument of danger rather than q
delight.
If the case is not very aggravated
the bristles may be washed in luke
warm water, to which a few drops O.
ammonia can be added. This vii
clearaWay the accumulated dust an
dirt as if by magic. The bristles cal
be rinsed in pure water and allowed
to dry in an airy place; the brush
should not be exposed to the sun:
nor should the back Of it be wet at
any time. Soda and soap soften the
bristles, and if the back Of the brush
be OF ivory it will turn yellow by
their application. For general use
it is better economy to buy cheap
brush, and. after using it for rea.
sonable time, throw it into the fire
and start afresh. Good Housekeep.

After the close of the war, while Il
was n prison and Lee wason parole,
we we're both indicted on q charge Of
treason; but, in hot haste to get IN
their work, the Indictment was drawn
with the fatal commission Of an over
act. Gen. Grant interposed ii the
case Of Gen. Lee, on the ground that
ne had taken his parole and thnt lie
was, therefore, not subject TO arrest.
Another grand jury was summoned,
and q bill was presented against me
alone, and amended by inserting spec
ifications Of overt nets. Gen. Lee
was summoned ns q witness before
the grand jury, the object being to
prove by him that / was responsible
for certain things done by him during
the war. was in Richmo ond, having
been released by virtue Of the writ Of
shabeas corpus. Gen. Lee met me ve-
~ soon after having given his testi-
mony before the grand jury, and told
me that to the inquiry whether he
had not, in the specified cases, acted
under my orders, he said that he had
always consulted me when he had
the opportunity, both on the field
and elsewhere; that after discussion,
fnot before, we had always agreed,
and therefore he had done with my
consent and approval only what he
might have done if he had not con-
suited me, and that he excepted the
full responsibility for his acts : h :
The evident purpose was to offer to
Lee q chance to escape by transfer
ring to me the responsibility for
overt acts. Not only to repel the
suggestion, but unequiYocally to
avow his Individual responsibility,
with all that under existing circum-
stances. was implied, was the high
est reach ofmoral courage and gen

untwittine the Dean.

From the Boston AdsertiD,r.
! was talking recently with an Eng
lish clergyman 81 the Episcopal
Church who gained his B. a. at Ok
ford nearly half q century ago. The
conversation turned to Harvard Col
lege and the recent decoration OF ita
founders statue. The reverend gem
tleman said that his recollections Of
his Oxford days contained plenty Of
episodes of like nature and he nc
cordingly related several. Upon the
great quadrangle of Christ Church
College q number Of halls front and
upward OF fifty doors open. One fine
morning every one Of these doors,
which were Of oak, was painted g
bright crimson. Ofcourse there was
great agitation, but the identity oi
the artists was never disclosed. The
dean in order to prevent a recurrence
of the deed, stationed q watchman
in the quadrangle, and SO we'll did
that functionary perform his duties
that the doors were not touched.
But the students resolved to circum-
vent the dean and outwit the sentinel.
One evening big undergraduate,
who had possessed himself OF a fow-
ing gown and wig, personating the
dean, entered the quad mag" as
the is efectionately termed, and
approached the watchman. "Ahum!
ahumP' he began, in deep pitched
voice, II am glad, my man, to find
you attending to your duty 80 well.
Now, you go to my kitchen and my
cook will give you goodsupper and
plenty Of ale. l will keep watch while
you are gone" Flattered and
pleased, the man accepted the invi.
tation and went. He had been gone
fifteen minutes. In the meantime
each one Of the fifty doors was paint

About Hay Fever,
,wcastle Eng, Chronicle

Newcastle Eng, Chronicle.
Hay fever is a nervous affection
usually most prevalent during the
spring and early summer, from which
the poorer classes, and more especial
" those living in. populous towns,
rarely, if ever, suffer. It is known
only to the educated, whose nervous
systems are highly developed. and I,
though not in any sense dangerous,
it's at all times very irritating and
troublesome. The smell of hay,
grass, the pollen OF flowers, the odor
of fruit, dust or draughts will gen
crate the complaint or excite an at
tack in persons subject to it, but
rain or moist weather invariably
brings relief. At one time it was
generally supposed that the odor Of
hay, when being mown or carted,
could alone induce the affection,
which is closely analogous tt, asthma,
but recent observation shows that
it's prevalence is entirely independent
of the existence OF hay fields, and is
really q nervous arrangement.
A visit to the seaside, a trip to sea,
or residence in q apopulous town, will
however, remove the asthmatic ten,
dency; but one of the best remedies
is tobacco smoke, retained in the
mouth as long as possible, and then
elected through the nostrils. The in
halation of the steam Of ten drops Of
creosote in a pint Of hot water is
said to be good. or twenty drops Of
spirits of camphor to the same
quantity of water also makes an eff
fective Inhalation. But the affection,
being nervous one, tonics and
nourishing diet are more essential
than any Of these palliatives, which
merely afford temporary relief.
