THE Farmers alliance has made known the wants of the farmers who compose it. They demand the suppress sion of all trusts and combinations. The patent law is condemned as increasing a monopoly oppressive to the poor. Free circulation and coinage of silver are de- manded, as well as the abolition of the national banking system, and the lend ing of money by the general govern ment in sums not exceeding $1,000. They ask that the government shall take control of corporations and that the president and vice president. United States senators and postmasters, be elected by direct vote of the people. They oppose the creation of list of re- tired office holders as pensioners, advo- cate the reduction of salaries of office holders, denounce the Mckinley bill, the alien ownership of lands and foreign im- migration and favor stringent legisla- tiou to prevent the adulteration of food and medicines.

nAY DREAMS.

Iris said that Raphael whom men call 'tsub.
 lime"
 h dreams, full oft, beheld his mothers face; That face, which he had looked upon and loved In sweet Urbino-famed as his place of birth: And that those features, since made glori- Glowing with heavenly light, which altered not But only heightened what scarce needed
 change
 Were ever with him, filling his mind and soul With noble themes and images sublime: Hovered about him as he piled his brush, And wcaved herself into those mighty works
 That make his name immortal. So that hIs angels and madonnas fair, That from his canvases benignly smile, Are but the semblance of that saintly soul Which gave him birth and everlasting fame.
 To all men, these sweet visitants of night Come not so often as the heart could wish; For strange though it may seem, the forms we And prize so well, who with their far-off echoes Pervade us oft by day, are crowded out
 By multifarious nothings. But there are day dreams, which by far eclipse The rapid phantasies of slumbering night; And sometimes when a sad and quiet mood Succeeds the fretful din of daily toll, The mind goes wandering back to childhood's
 days, And we are kneeling at the mothers knee; Most sacred altar under Gods high Heaven Where first we learned to lisp His holy name And ask His blessing on the ones we loved; Or as the youth, we feel the mothers hand, Without upbraiding. smooth the unfurrowed
 brow;
 And say @ little word, too full of love And tenderness to make it seem reproach; To point us to higher, nobler life From which the feet are all too prone to stray.
 There, too are angel visits-rifts Of light, That glisten for Q moment in the tears Which dim and blur our vision day by day. And though the pictures which we hereby
 paint,
 And which the world dispraises all too oft, Arc void of merit, and scarce worth the pains Its tedious details cost; at times an outline, Which before had looked severe, is toned And softened by some gentle word or act; Irradiating all with glowing life: It is the mother, smiling in the man.

CONGRESSMAN CANYONS mouth is still unwashed. In the debate of Thursday. while Mir Brsckenbridge of Arkansas was speaking, and had uttered the words "I say," as applied to some point in the discussion, Cannon interrupted him with the remark, "you would say anything" This was course and insult- ing, and MT Cannon should at once have been called to order for the words. There was no point to the interruption, and it's only effect was to sink the de- bates in congress, not alone to less than the requirements of courtesy, but below the level of decency. Fortunately, Cannon has received his dismissal from his seat in congress, and under the cit- cumstances of one his brother members can hardly be blamed for taunting him with the fact.

showed no signs of leaving, began to economize on fuel. The ground beneath the pine tree was filtered with the fall en needles cones and dry branches of years, but they burned very fast and already had made great inroads upon them.
 It must have been about nine o'clock when second pack of wolves joined those already guarding me. The new corners were evidently regarded as in- truders, for they were greeted with an- gry snarls, and finally both packs in- dulged in a rough-and-tumblef fight.
 As they struggled together. now and then a group were forced within the circle of fire-light, and I shuddered as I saw their pitiless white fangs and glar- ing eyes.
 But the savage animals soon tired of rending each other and returned to their old occupation of ceaselessly tramping around my fire-lit space. .
 Thus the hours dragged wearily past, until from the position of the stars l knew that it lacked but two hours of daybreak, and now the fire began to burn low. Every cone and twig from beneath the tree had been heaped on the coalS.
 '1f one of those pinons were just 8 little higher I'd make dash for it," l thought over and over again, as watched the flames sink lower and lower, while the circling wolves came | closer and closer.
 And now there was but bed of glow | ing embers left. The gaunt leader of the band had crept up nearer and still nearer, and as the filmy ash began to form upon the ruddy coals, he crouched to leap upon his prey. My head sank upon my breast as I waited that fatal spring, when To! col umn of sparks and flame shot twenty feet up into the air and scattered the frightened wolves, who fled bowling in dismay. I was saved! | A pitch-soalzed root had blazed up in the nick of time and now burned merri- l 1y. Presently the whole resin-cevered trunk of the tree caught fire and became veritable pillar of flame, and then I knew that my hour of peril was indeed past.
 The wolves hung around until morn ing, but the first beams of the rising sun scattered them to their lair among the mountains. You can imagine how my heart beat with joyeas I watched the last one slink away.
 As soon as it was broad daylight l started on foot for Gottlieb's cabin, where I found my father and brother making eager inquiries concerning me. My absence over night had made them so uneasy about me that they had started out bright and early to look | me up.
 We were joyful party as we rode homeward, whore@the story of my ad- venture brought tears to mothers eyes; and even yet never think of that night without 8 shudder.-Golden Days.

EVIDENTLY there will be need of much caution in the use of Dr Koch's lymph for time to come. The deaths of seve- ral patients who have been inoculated may not have been the direct result of the treatment, but the connection is sufficiently close to be suggestive. Ina the lymph is a valuable addition to the list of medical remedies seems to be con- clusively proved. The character of it and the manner of It's workings are not yet fully disclosed, and it also seems very clear that the medical profession finds that it is often elusive of control.

Imitation is a mistake. It is a waste of wind, for sooner or later the bellows will break, and the gas will give out; then the article falls to its natural level. The true policy is to place false values on nothing, but to sell the article for just what it is worth and to see that it is al ways worth just what it is sold for.

TYING THE KNOT,
How the Marriage Ceremony Is Per
 formed Among the Buddhists,

How the Marriage Ceremony Is Per
 formed Among the Buddhists.
 A missionary describes a marriage ceremony which he witnessed in the palace of the Governor of Cambodia as follows: ''I was ushered, amid a tre- mendous din of gongs, into large room beyond the reception hall, where were seated the Governor and about one hun dred noblemen and invited guests. The bridegroom, young man about twenty years of age, elegantly attired in silk garments, was also there. By the time we foreigners were seated a procession headed by the bride. supported on either side by demure-loolxing matrons, composed principally of aged or mar ried women, all elegantly attired-en- tered and slowly marched toward the Governor.
 '"The bride was not particularly in- teresting as regards personal charms. She was young, however, and dressed richly and in good taste. Besides her silk dress she wore gold embroidered scarf upon her shoulders; also gold rings upon her fingers, bracelets upon her wrists and armlets above the elbows. The bride took up her position near the bridegroom, both sitting upon the floor but not looking toward each other; in fact, throughout the entire ceremony they both were perfectly impassive and nonchalant.
 "The marriage ceremony proper now began. A number of wax candles we re brought in a salver and then lighted by one of the nobles. The silver waiter was then passed around before the com pany eight times, each one in turn sa- luting the couple and wishing them good fortune by waving or blowing the smoke toward them, thus expressing something like the old English custom of throwing the slipper after the newly welded couple, the band of string in- struments playing the meanwhile. Two large velvet cushions had been pre- viously placed before the bride and bridegroom, and upon them large sword. The leader of the theatricals now came forward and went through, for few moments, a most fantastical sword exercise.
 'Dishes had been placed before the couple upon the floor, with covers upon them. Nothing, however, was eaten. Next, the hands of the expectant couple were bound together, and to each other, with silken threads by the woman's at tendants, probably some near relative. Thus were they truly joined in Buddhist wedlock. And this completed the sim- pie, yet effective ceremony.'-San Fran cisco Argonaut.

The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-03-07

The contest between the French and
English Canadians grows more bitter,
and the outcome is watched with great
interest. A bill has been introduced into
the Dominion parliament to repeal the
act permitting the use of French as an
official language in the Northwest terri
tories. This naturally enraged the French
Canadian members, who are almost pre-
pared to give up their lives before their
language, although it is very bad
French indeed. It is not impossible that
the result of the ill feeling between the
two factions may result in an attempt at
separation. Will scenes be enacted in
the Canadian parliament such as &C.
cured in the American congress of 1852
60? Should there be split, one or both
the factions would naturally turn to the
United States for consolation and an
nexatiOn.

The French Revolution.

Through the efforts of President An
drew D. White, of Cornell university,
the American people have opportunity
to learn more of the real truth about the
French revolution than they have known
hitherto. Our only sources of informa-
ton have been English books, which are
VIGOROUSLY unfair to those who forced
the French revolution.
President White has been making his
torical studies on the subject, and his
conclusions are very different from the
old stereotyped notions of blood, dark
ness, blasphemy and chaos that most of
us have imbibed. According to Presi-
dent White the revolution was the rising
of gallant people against oppression
the most cruel and wickedness the most
outrageous of modern times. It was not
the common people that were wicked
and impious. It was the nobility, their
oppressors. The church of the time
sided with their oppressors, therefore the
people naturally, and with good reason,
ranked the church along with that which
they meant should be destroyed forever.
Education was wholly in the hands of
the clergy. and they never taught the
people anything. After the revolution
ended it was the priests and the learned
who wrote its history, in England and
in France, and what wonder they col
ored it to suit themselves? The people
had no penman.
