/ stood for few moments undecided.
II left to myself would have sent the
trio to the county town, where, If any
one of them could prove his innocence,
he could do so before the constitutional
authorities; but having submitted the
matter to my wife and aunt, could not
well override their decision. AS for
what the young man said for himself, l
gave it no weight whatever, for of course
he would say the best he could for him
self. But the testimony of the others
had weight. When they both declared
that he was not burglar, but merely
journalist, engaged in what he supposed
to be his duty, 1t would seem TO be a
cruel thing to stamp him as criminal
by putting him in charge OF the con-
stables.
But my indecision soon came to an
end, for Aunt Martha declared that no
time should be lost in setting the young
man free, for should the people in town
arrive and see him sitting bound with
the others it would ruin his character
forever. Ny wife agreed with Aunt
Martha.

be handsomely paid in the enhanced

RAPID GROWTH.
The Alliance Becoming a Disturbing Fac
tor in Kansas Politics.

The Farmers Alliance in Kansas IL
growing so rapidly in members and
perfection of organization that it has
become decidedly disturbing factor in
local and State politics. State Organ
izer Jennings is just finishing up trip
through the State, where he has been
establishing new Alliances and extend
ing the scope and organization of the
old ones. Every county, nearly, in the
whole State is organized, and pretty
nearly every farmer in each county is a
member of the organization. The older
Alliances have been reorganized on the
plan of the one by townships Each
county has a central organiza-
ton at the county seat, and to
this township Alliances are subor-
dinate. The county central organ1-
zation receives instructions from the
State headquarters which are subordi-
nate again to the National Alliance
This thorough organization has mado
the order exceptionally strong. In local
politics where their immediate interests
are at stake, the Alliances have gener'
ally decided to support only those candi-
dates who coincide with their views and
adopt their principles. In State poll
tics similar action has been decided
upon, and it has even been proposed to
run Farmer" candidate for Governor
in the person of A. w. Smith, better
known as Farmer" Smith, of McPher-
son. The organization has already gOt
it's finger in the National political pie.
The president of the Kansas Alliance
has addressed to the Kansas Senators
and Representatives at Washington a
letter informing them that it is the be-
lief among the farmers that the depres-
sion of agricultural interests is due to
vicious legislation. The letter con-
cludes thus:
MANY of the questions that are re-
ceiving the attention of Congress are
far less urgent than those upon which the
safety of the home and the welfare OF
the family depend. The people believe
the white citizens of Kansas have some
rights as we'll as the colered citizens OF
the South. They believe that fallen
heroes, both white and black, in the
past struggles for liberty, and the per-
petuity of our institutions, can afford to
wait for one moment until the right of
living heroes in the present struggle
for American homes receive some recog-
milton by the men who have been
chosen to represent them in Congress
Behind these demands are more than
100, 600 ballots in the State of Kansas,
and the time Is coming, and Is not far
distant, when the Legislators will heed
the voice of their constituents"
These indications of the determine
ton of the Alliance to enter politics are
troubling the politicians, and they are
becoming decidedly nervous.

THE FARMERS MEAN BUSINESS.
Suggestions for the Law-Msking Powers
to Ponder.


Following the meeting of the Su-
preme Court of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, at st. Louis, last
December, the Kansas farmers joined
with the Knights of Labor and State
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association in
adopting union platform, upon which
the members of the several organiza-
tions could stand and work together
tremendously for each others interest
This combination has resulted in the
establishment of agents at Kansas City
and interior points, for the handling Of
grain and the opening of stores in vari-
Gus localities for furnishing implements
and merchandise of all kinds to the farm
ers at first cost. About twenty of these
general stores have been established in
Kansas. A committee comprised of
members of the three organizations in
Kansas was appointed to look after the
interests of the farmers and laboring
classes in this State. The committee
has just made report recommending to
several orders an earnest CO operation
in all business matters, urging the
adoption of the Australian system of
voting and the Crawford County system
of primaries; asking the adjustment of
official salaries to correspond with the
existing financial condition and the
wages paid to other forms of labor. The
State Government is advised by reSOlu-
tion of certain principles of the union
of the different orders as follows:
EgTbat ua favor Cuch laUiCl tiOn nc
will make unsurious interest obtained
or sought to be obtained, directly or
Indirectly, bar to judgment in action
for recovery of both principal and in
terest; that we are unalterably op-
posed to bonds in favor of railroads,
or any aid to corporations for any pur-
pose whatever; that all text books for
use in common schools should be COM
piled, printed and bound by the State,
and be furnished to pupils at cost; that
we recommend that active steps be
taken to adjust uniform minimum
prices on farm products Including
grain and live-stock), and that all the
agricultural States be requested to Co
operate with us in this mater"
The movers in this effort constitute a
large proportion of the voting pOpula-
ton, as they embrace the membership
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, the Patrons of Husbandry,
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
and the Knights of Labor. Their ac-
ton is being watched with close inter
est by politicians and business men.

Insignificant business of breaking into

The tall man occupied position of
peculiar eminence in criminal circles.
He was what might be called criminal
manager. He would take contracts for
the successful execution of certain
crimes, bank robberies, for instance, and
while seldom taking part in the actual
work of burglary or similar operation,
he would plan all the details of the af-
fair, and select and direct his agents
with great skill and judgment. He had
never been arrested before, and the de-
tectives were delighted, believing they
would now have an opportunity of trac-
ing to him a series of very important
criminal operations that had taken place
in New York and some other large cities.
He was known as Lewis Mandit, and
this was believed to be his real name.
The stout man was a frst-class pro-
fessional burglar and nothing more, and
was in the employ of Mandit. The
young man was decidedly uncommon

had been educated at one of our princi-

and writer for leading periodicals, and
had shown considerable literary ability,
but life of honest industry did not suit
his tastes, and he had now adopted
knayery as regular profession.
