James Bowman Kills Tom Young at
Lexington, Mo.

Lexington, Mo. July 24.-Tom
Young, policeman, has fallen the
second victim of the carelessness of
James Bowman, who for 16 years
was deputy and 4 years sheriff of
Lafayette county. For numer of
years it has been the practice of
Bowman when he got drunk to -four
ish deadly weapons around in a dan
gerous way. This he has been al
lowed to do without arrest. Last
night he and Tom Young met and
were talking in friendly manner
when Bowman asked a son of his
who was standing near for a match.
The boy replied that he had none,
and Bowman said:
"Why don't you carry one like
this?" at the same time pulling a
pistol of big calibre from his pocket.
Young was at that time standing
several feet from Bowman. Hardly
had the pistol been produced thar
it was discharged, Bowman says
accidentally. The ball struck Young
just above the navel and ranged te
the left side, from which position il
was extracted. He is now in very
critical condition.
The killing of Deputy circuit clerl
Arnold Ewing accidentally by Bow
man is still fresh in the public mind
Bowman and Ewing were members
of q posse who went in search o.
horse thieves. and upon emerging
from a hotel in Higginsville, aftel
eating breakfast, Bowman carelessl,
threw his Ballard rifle over hi
shoulder, cooked it, and pulled thu
trigger. The result was the instan'
death of poor Arnold Ewing, whe
was to have been married in a shor
time. Bowman comes from one o
the first families of Missouri, but il
himself worthless fellow.

Quay's Hand.
CHILD OF THE GRANGE.

By telegraph to Post Dispatch.
Paris, Tex, July 26.-The Farm
ers' Alliance which is now looming
up as such a great factor in politics,
had it's origin in this state. It is a
child of the old grange or patrons
Of husbandry which was the favorite
fad of the farmers some fifteen years
ago. The grange was the first Sc
cret organization gotten up by the
farmer to the exclusion of other
members of society. It reached it's
growth in 1878, when it undertook
to dictate the democratic nomination
for governor. Failing to do so. it
soon began to languish and languish-
ing did die.
Then came the alliance. There is
legend to the effect that in Octo-
ber, 1881, the first lodge of the
farmers alliance was organized in
Jackson county, Texas. Its decla-
ration Of principles were very SINH
lar to those of the grangers, but it
had fewer degrees, its lodge work
was simpler and it's initiation fees
and dues did not cost so much. It's
growth was gradual until the fall of
1885, when missionaries were placed
in the field and it's doctrines were
preached to the farmers all over the
state. Lodges were organized in
every neighborhood. The men who
went disseminating the gospel to the
farmers, it was noticed, had been
active workers in the greenback par
y, which had been laid under the
daisies only few years before.
Prior to their conversion to the
greenback doctrine they had been
chronic ofice-seekers in the demo.
cratic party. These ex politicians
IN their new role as lecturers made
speeches, when they spoke in public
were mainly trade against the old
parties. Statistics were made to
order and figures skillfully juggled

nere and there a newspaper made
oold to warn the farmers to beware
OF this new craze; that it savored
strongly of communism and other
IDEAS incompatible with their inter
esss. Then the cry would GO up

Mese words of warning was corrupt

sooner or later find that he is a can

sooner Or later find that he is can
didate. Farmers ought to study
politics more than they do. News
papers are daily asking them to IN
vestigate the iniquitous tariff and
pension laws that are Systematically
robbing them, but instead the al
lance man goes to his lodge, closes
the door and shuts his ears to rea-
son. The alliance. it is believed. is
now being artfully used by Quay
and the republican machine to dis
rupt the democrat party all over the
south. The seeds have been sown
in Texas and there is trouble coming.
An open fight in Texas against the
democratic party was useless and
foolish. The democratic record in
Texas is impregnable. From the
bankrupt condition the republican
party left it in by its drastic recon
struction policy, it has prospered
under democratic rule until to day
its credit is better than that of the
Federal government. But majori-
ty of the farmers do not belong to
the alliance, and the most thrifty do
not countenance its schemes of
finance and politics. These are we'll
informed, in nine cases out Of ten are
democrats. Many good men are in
the alliance, and if it comes to the
test they will stand by the democrat
party even should it mean the death
of the order.
AN INcoNGRUoUs FEATURE
of this political movement is to have
the farmer and the laborer unite.
The absurdity of this lies in the
fact that the farmer wants labor
as cheap as he can get it. It is nat
ural; it is business. The truth is he
cannot afford to pay high wages
On the other hand, the laborer wants
all he can get for his work. Their
interests will make the issue. Ir
Texas it is the farmer who employs
most of the labor. It remains to II
seen whether the saving common
sense of the people will triumph o,
whether they will follow these polit
ical jack o'-lanterns until it leads
them into the camp of the SOUTH
worst enemy-the republican party

terests of the farmer, and therefore

HOW THE IDEA TOOK ROOT.
The idea was industriously pushed
that all other classes were useless
and some of them not even orna
mental, and that the farmer, who
was the rightful lord of all, had be-
come a mere newer of wood and
drawer of water. He was advised
to assert himself and force all other
classes to pursue his own calling. It
was argued that the farmer was alb
solutely independent and all others
were dependent upon him, and non
essential. The widest theories
were given credence to and the
teachings of political economy were
ignored. There were those who
hooted at the idea that our high civ
iization and the complex condition
of society demanded a division of
labor. They did not seem to realize
that before the farmer can fence his
ground or till the soil that he must
first go to the manufacturer to get
his tools; that he must 60 to the
miller to have his grain ground into
bread and to the manufacture again
to have his wool and cotton woven
into cloth; that physicians are nee
essary to look after the health of
himself and family; that the lawyer
must be called on to decide points
of difference between himself and
neighbor; that the teacher was es-
sential to develop and improve the
minds of his children, that the
| preacher had a duty to perform in
| pointing him the way to country
free from care, vexation and toll, and
! that even newspapers were necessary
! to furnish him information and in
tellectual qualification.
But their pet aversion was the
middleman or the merchant. Here
! their ideas of political economy
| were again at fault. They never
| stopped to consider that the mer-
chant as an agent of exchange was
as necessary to society rs money is
rs the medium of exchange The
merchant was a vampire sucking the
life blood out of the farmers. He
must be driven out of business aud
relegated TO the ranks. To meet the
demands for an agent of exchange
every farmer would be his own mer-
chant by establishing CO operative
stores in every town of importance
in the state Every member of the
alliance was requested to take stock
and shares we're placed at SIS. This
made it possible for every member
to take stock. Then some man was
elected to manage it. These enter
prises were started out with great
pomp and ceremony. It was soon
learned that goods had to be paid
for there Just the same as at other
places and were just as high, if not
a little higher. Merchants who were
at first alarmed soon saw all their
old customers back. many of them
asking credit because they had tax

MANNERS OF MEN.

If man gets everything else he

With no water in sight any man
will boast Of his skill at fishing.
1t is some mems ambition to be
great men before they learn to be
men.
The man who keeps his word has
no trouble in keeping his counte-

With most men life is made up of
going IN debt, and then struggling
to get out
The genius of a man is admitted
more readily after he is rich than it
is when he is poor.
Men seem ashamed Of everything
natural in their instincts. Pephaps
they have reason to be.
The average man takes up so
much Of his time talking about his
ambition that he never has time to
realize it.
As long as men are created so that
they cannot be satisfied with a cap
of tea and a rocking chair, some
women will be dissatisfied with
them.
