The National Convention of the Farmers
Alliance is in session at Ocala, Florida. One
Of the most significant signs Of Wednes ~;

ana t.ey call upon every Representative and
Senator in Congress to vote against such usur-
patton This action is fully in accord with
the anti,sectional attitude of the alliance.
The anti,force bill resolutions were intro
duced by VIM. S. McAllister, of Mississippi,
after consultation with Northwestern mem
beers. and it was unanimously adopted after
debate One delegate from Pennsylvania
and one from Illinois thought the resolutions
were untimely, and would retard the order in
their states, bnt voted for them on their final
passage.
The preamble and resolutions were as
follows:
Whereas the President of the United
States, in his annual message to Congress,
recommends and urges the immediate passage
of the measure known as the Lodge election
bill; and
'Whereas said DILL involves radical revo-
luton in the election machinery Of the Union,
both state and national, and its passage will
be fatal to the autonomy of the states and
cherished liberties of the citizens; and
'Whereas said bill is partisan in spirit and
will be partisan in its application, thus re.
vitalizng the CORY ghost of sectional estrange-
ment; and whereas, in the holy war which we
have declared against sectionalism, the fire.
sides of the farmers of the North, East, South
and West are the citadels around which the
heaviest battles are being fought, and to the
end that victory may crown our crusade, let
fraternity and unity reign. Therefore be it
Resolved by the National Farmers Al.
lance and Industrial Union of America, in
national council assembled, That we do most
solemnly protest against the passage of said
Lodge election bill, and we most earnestly
petition our Senators to employ all fair and
legal means TO defeat this unpatriotic measure,
which can result in nothing but evil to our
common and beloved country.
'Resolved further, That a copy of this pre-
amble and resolutions be forwarded to each
Senator in Congress"

1t has been asserted that twelve Senators
and fifteen Representatives had special in
terest in the passage of the silver bill during
the last session of Congress. Pending the
passage of the bill, it is alleged, this number
of Senators and Representatives was adj
mitted to partnership in various ''silver pools
by which they realized one million dollars
profits in the advance of the price of silver
after the passage of the act. In the House on
Monday Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, introduced
a resolution setting forth these allegations and
providing for an investigation by the Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Measures
There can be no harm done in making the
investigation, and those alleged TO have pro-
li,ed should be foremost in advocacy OF the
resolution. if they are falsely accused.

RESULT IN New HAMPsHIRE.-The meeting
of the New Hampshire Legislature has had
thus far mixed result. The Republicans
have elected partisan clerk to make up the
roll of the next Legislature. This may mean
a decision of the character of the next Legis.
lature unfayorable to Democratic hopes. 1t
looks, in fact, as if the Republicans are as
sured control of the Legislature, and will
elect Republican Senator and Governor.
Chandler's scheme to have legislation now of
a political character was defeated by COM
promise arranged between the Republican
and Democratic leaders. Gallinger, Senator
Chandler's rival, has control of one branch
of the Legislature, and will permit nothing
the Senator desires to be done. The muddle
will not be definitely settled, therefore, until
the new Legislature meets in January.

Parnell's Downfall.

ParneIl's proven immortality has divided
the Irish Home Rule party. His efforts TO
continue in the leadership, against the advice
and wishes of many of his former supporters,
has created the belief that Parncl is more of
n selfish Parnellite than statesman; that he
cares more for his personal advancement than
for the cause Of Ireland. furthermore, he
has estranged Mr.. Gladstone and the Liberal
leaders, and hopelessly divided, for the time,
the party, and has set back the time for
the accomplishment of home rule and other
measures for the advancement of the cause of
Ireland The ADVOCATE has not been dis
appointed in Parnell. 1t has always regarded
him as an agitator, not statesman, and in
terested solely in his own political welfare.

A city contemporary says


president Harrison may wear Grandpa S
Hat, but it doesn't cover Grandpa's brains.
Brains were not the heritage of the Harri-
son family, and it scarcely admits of a doubt,
that the grandson, however deficient he may
be in cerebral development, is scarcely be-
meath the standard of The grandpa. The hat
hadn't an unusual amount of brains to cover.
Grandpa WAS sort of accidental President.
He was the creature of circumstances. He
happened to have rendered some small mill.
fary service to the country, and bore the title
OF GeHeral, which fact was no unimportant
factor in his elevation TO the Presidency, as
1t has been in the career of others since, serv-
ing them in some sort, instead of brains
The country, at the same time, plunged into
a wild fantastic craze, in which brains were
at a decided discount, for President Martin
Van Buren,, who was the victim of this brain
less harlequnade, had more brains than all
che Harrison family combined. His brains,
however, did not save him from defeat, for
brains were not desderatum at that time,
any more than they were little later on,
when the grandson was nominated,

following temperature was reported by the

An Extraordinary Case.

A dispatch from Lexington, KY, says =
'While sitting talking with her children at
her home in Paris, KY, about noon Wednes-
day, Mrs. j. Harry Brent felt the fexor mus
cles of her right leg suddenly and violently
contract, and as she screamed with pain the
bone of the thigh broke just below the hip
joint A physician was summoned, but be-
fore he could do anything to relieve his pa
tent her left leg broke in the same manner.
Her sufferings are intense and her death IS
expected. Mrs. Brent is about forty years
old, the wife of wealthy and prominent
Judge, and moves in the highest society.
PHYSICIANS here say the case is unprecedented.
that while bones have been broken by mus
cuIar contraction, there has always been some
well defined cause, while Mrs. Brent has
been apparently well. 1t is thong hit by her
physician that she is a victim of muscular
rheumatism"

The Presidents Message.

Pass the Force bill,
Uphold the Mckinley bill,
Grant subsidies to Steamship lines,
Pass an apportionment bill, based upon
Porter's fraudulent census.
These are the main recommendations OF
President Harrisons message to Congress on
Monday last. Mr. Harrison has thus given
renewed evidence that he is a mere partisan,
with none of the elements of statesman.
He is not even possessed of ordinary political
sagacity, for the country has just repudiated
these measures by majority approximating
a million. A shrewd politician, when beaten,
would retrace steps and get in line with pub
lie sentiment. Mr.. Harrison is too obtuse tc
see the drift of sentiment, and persists IN
course the country has condemned. 1t he
continues the same line upon which he
started, the cyclone of November, 1890, vii
be only summer breeze compared with the
blizzard that will effectually blast the Harri
SON Reed Mckinley combination in 1892.

Ex-State Treasurer Archer's bondsmen are
awaiting themselves of every technically. Let
them cease this, and meet their obligations
1t would be better for them and the state If
they would acknowledge their liability, and
meet it as best they can. No one wants them
to impoverish themselves. If to meet the
whole obligation would be hardship, let a
compromise be Effected just and fair one,
and the people will be satisfied There is no
use in both sides paying huge attorney fees
and spending other large sums TO fight the

The wheat crop of the state of Washington
is the largest in its history, being estimated
at 16, 200, 900 bushels. The elevators, ware.
houses and box cars along the railways are
filled, and stacks of sacked wheat dot the
fields. The inability of the railroads to move
the enormous crop to market is exasperating
the farmers, who are charging them with
collision with the warehousemen to 10 wer the
