WHAT LIE MOON saw.

Here is delightful little story from
Hans Christian Andersen: Yesterday"

all sides by houses. In the court yard
sat a clucking hen with eleven chick
ems and pretty little girl was running
and jumping around them. The hen
was frightened and screamed and
spread out her wings over the little
brood. Then the girls father came out
and scolded her and 1 glided away and
thought no moro Of the matter.
'But this evening, only few minutes
ago, ] looked down into the same court
yard. Every thing was quiet But
presently the little girl came forth
again, crept quietly to the hen house.
pushed back the bolt and slipped into
the apartment of the hen and chickens
They cried out loudly and came hutter-
ing down from their perches and ran
about In dismay, and the little girl ran
after them.
II saw it quite plainly, for looked

felt glad when her ia ther came out and
scolded her more violently than yester-
day, holding her roughly by the arm.

eyes were full of tears

The Party Lash.

The time has come for members of
the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union to determine once for all whether
they will follow the dictates of their
own conscience or be led away from
what they believe to be right by mem
bers of the party with which they have
affiliated in the past One of the most
powerful arguments of politicians ia the
party lash. They do not pretend to
argue proposition; they simply say
something mean about persons con-
nected with the movement they wish to
down, and then attempt to reach men
through their prejudices The party
lash will be laid on the backs of all of
us We will be coaxed, Ca ajoled, threat
ened and abused, and we will be told
all about the weakness of our move
ment and the strength of the parties,
and the danger of putting confidence in
persons not of our branch of
the family. We may all expect
to be beaten with many stripes,
and our words will be misconstrued
or put in unjustifiable connections. We
shall be under fire continually unit the
day OF election next November, and ii
behooves US to be guarded in our treat
ment of persons who thus expect to en-
trap us through passion or drive us
through cowardice 1t requires cour

Gamblers in Gram.

1t is we'll known fact that gambling
boards of trade are constantly offering
on the market thousands of bushels of
grain and other farm products which
have no existence and which will never
be, and are never intended to be, deliv-
cred. They consist only of nothing;
and the buying and selling of them are
mere ''bets" which are settled simply
by paying the difference between the
price at which they sold and the mar
ket price at the time the bet ma
lures. Of course the more of thing
which is offered for sale, the greater the
tendency must be to lower the price.
And of course the selling of these mil
lions of bushels of nothing, but sup
posed to be real. loads the market down
with an apparent supply which has no
real existence. and causes the market
to decline just as effectually as if real
wheat had been sold. And in conse-
quence of these scheming methods on
the part of the grain gamblers the
farmer is actually made to give away
about one crop out of every five he pro-
duces--Cor. Journal of Agriculture.

FARMERS. IteWare:

This is the time for you to be shy Of
politicians, as they are quietly but sure
ly working against you, and for the ad-
vancement of themselves A man who
belongs to the g. O. p. said to US Thurs
day that the Alliance was making big
show just now. but when they come to
vote this fall, nearly all will vote just
as heretofore. and they would elect all
of the Republican and Democrats that
were rum ng for Office. Will you,
friends? If SO, you are surely not in
sympathy with the grand and noble
work of protecting your families. Don't
let these foul-mouthed politicians get
you to thinking that the Alliance is not
the proper thing. but think the opposite,
think that the work of this organ zation

The Fnrmers, AIlianca.

The Farmers Alliance of every State
in the Union should view with interest
the position their party is placed in in
South Carolina. We said, some weeks
ago. that the Democratic party was an
enemy to the Farmers Alliance as much
30 as they were to Republicans. or any
thing else that opposed ring rule. Cap
tain Tillman. of South Carolina, the
candidate of Alliance men for Governor
of the State, is surrounded by Bourbon
assassins of the Wade Hampton stripe,
until he is afraid to speak in public
His friends have to surround him also
with arms to protect his life. This Is
the love the pure Democracy have for
the farmer in the Alabama convention.
The ring threw out the Alliance MEM
bers right and left, until they had
majority to put up ring candidate
This ought to teach the Alliance men
that they should stand upon their own
dignity and not be cats paw for any
party, but make themselves, in every
convention, felt for good Leaders
have no respect for men who they can
whip into line.-Jacksonville Ella. Re-
