- The rum traffic takes from
the people each year nearly four times

tariff! The total annual receipts from

5000, 900, 900! Is it not time
that the rum question should be dis
cussed from its economic and moral
sides by the reformers and true friends
Of the people? Why should this unmit-
igated curse of the rum traffic, which
keeps thousands in poverty, breeds vice,
fosters crime and burdens the Nation

large as our bonded debt be longer al

where women were recognized as tho
political equals Of men.
The success of the enfranchisement OF
women in Wyoming has fully justified
our rejoicing on that occasion, and now
the citizens Of that remote Territory,
who have for twenty years tested the
value of their experiment, are asking
to be admitted to Statehood with the
same generous recognition of the rights
of women. Can the nation deny the
rights vested for twenty years in the
most law-abiding Of its citizens? We
trust not.
Our grand American Woman Suffrage
Association was then and there organ
lied, and its work has testified to its
fidelity and discretion during its twenty
one years of existence. While it has re-
NAMED constant to its original purpose,
it has indirectly aided in every good en-
deavor for the elevation of woman, and
through her of the race. Other agencies
have co-operated, and the great army Of
temperance workers, who ever feared us,
are now striving earnestly for the sue
cess of our cause. Co-eduCation now
commands the approval of the leading
minds of the time. The church, which
feared US as host of infidels, now comes
to our aid, and recognizes that Paul
said: "Help those women that labor
with me in the Gospel" as well as some
other words that had been endlessly
quoted as sanctioning the absolute sub
lection of women.
Thus the day Of the Lord draweth
nigh, when there is to be realization
of the declaration. There is neither
Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free,
neither male nor female, but all are one
in Christ Jesus"

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
AN AWFUL DEMON.

We want your help, my noble boys,
An army Of you, to throttle
The powerful demon Of all unrest,
Who turks In black glass bottle.
Sometimes 'tisn't black, but II usually Is,
And you may not see him lurk,
But you can't turn to left or right or front,
Without seeing some Of his work.
Hes the grsndest ally old Satan has,
Cunning as well as strong
And he works by night as well as day,
And hides his work with song.
IT'S only to stifie his victims cries
That he hides his work with mirth,
For the greatest woe is the demons own,
That is known in all the earth.
And the world wants You who are growing mel
To help in this coming fight
The race before you have battled long
But have failed to make things right;
So grid yourselves, 1t will need you all
All, on the righteous side,
To put your feet on the demons neck,
And his terrible power outride.
But oh beware, lest he conquer you,
"For the end thereof is death
Death to the body and death to the soul
Is dealt by his deadly breath.
So come, even now we want you all
To save the world to-day; ,
Your strong young arms, and courage high,
To cast the curse away.
The cry goes up from the anguished earth:
"How long, o. Lord! how longY'
Mid the din Of midnight reyelry
And the victims drunken song
So move to your places in the ranks
And give all your strength to throttle
Him who is peopling the under world
The demon that turks in the bottle

THE ALLIANCE IN ARKANSAS.
Its Wonderful Growth and What 1t Sig
nifies.

''The growth of the Farmers Alliance
in this State is somewhat remarkable"
said Pope County ARK planter to a
st. Louis Post-Dispatch correspondent
recently. ''In our county," he con-
tinued. u''the order has spread like
prairie fire, and the membership is
growing constantly. Since Christmas
there has been very large number
added to the membership. and before
that date and during the months of De-
cember and November the work in the
way of organizing lodges and receiving
members was simply wonderful. 1t is
a great movement among the farming
element, and l am surprised that the
press of the State and country do not
give it more than brief mention If any
! thing is said about it at all.
lis the organization similar to the
Wheelers of to-day or the Changers of
past years."
"Yes, very much; in fact between the
Wheelers and Alliance there is no es-
sential difference. In Pope County,

Want Salaries Reduced.

The Brown County (Kas.) Farmers
Alliance has resolved to ask the Legis-
lature to reduce salaries paid county Of
ficers, alleging that the farmer who
works harder than the officer doesn't
get so much as a quarter of his pay;
that taxes are too high, and reform in
most every thing is needed. One thou
sand to fifteen hundred dollars year is
deemed enough money for the work
done by the officers. Officers paid by
fee who make more than this in year
must turn it into the treasury.

A Common Eaeiny.

Statistics show that the drinking por.
ton of every fifty-seven adult males in
some communities Chicago, for in
stance supports saloon. This means
that a certain number of families are
impaired in their resources to precisely
this amount, which must be equa! TO alb
sorbing the total earnings of at least
six families out of the proportion of
fifty-seven actively engaged in support
ing the saloon. These six families have
to be supported by the sober element OF
the group, and therefore the saloon is
the pecuniary enemy of all families in
communities tolerating them. The pc.
cuniary damage is not lessened if we
choose to regard the expense as ap
portioned upon the average among the
whole number. For in any case it
means that the saloon subtracts that
part of the communal resources, out OF
which savings and the more ornamental
part of the expenses would otherwise
come. The saloon, therefore, tends to
restrict all families within it's influ.
ence to mere struggle for existence on
the lowest and barest plane.-Union

The Alliance appears to meet all re-
quirements, and all the farmers with
whom have talked give it hearty APP
prevail As l before said, it is spread
ing like prairie fire, Not only is 1t pop
ular in Pope County, but all the coun-
ties in the Arkansas valley are affected
by the movement and the planters and
farmers are going into the Alliance in
great numbers"
Has the movement political signifi-
cance?"
''Oh. no! None in the world. 1t is
simply combination of farmers having
for an object the advancement of the
farming interests and the bringing into
closer relationship those elements in
agriculture which, when blended, may
be made to produce results of mu-
tual benefit to every farmer and
planter in the State and coun-
try. For instance, through the
Alliance and Wheel the farmer is en-
abled to buy his supplies at greatly
reduced cost. as compared with the old
time method of purchasing these things.
He is also privileged TO get new and
needed machinery at less cost than
formerly; and, in short, there is net
gain to him in the cost of living and of
producing his crops of many per cent.
Aside from this the great result will be
attained in marketing the production Of
farm and plantation att cost which will
give the producer something over and
above his board and clothes Added to
this is still further benefit, which will
be derived from the monthly or semi
monthly meetings of the Alliance, when
the discussion of practical farming ques-
tions will have tendency TO make
farmers think and give them ideas re-
speeding their work. think this latter
will be OF very great benefit, for if the
farmers will agitate any grievance they
may have. an etfectual remedy will
shortly be found, while if they remain
quiet under their burden, help will not
come to them. They must make them
selves felt; they must unite for
the protection and preservation Of
their interests. 1t is in this way the
farmers of Arkansas will become a
power, and l am glad to see the Alli-
ance getting such firm foothold.
have lived in this State thirty-eight
years and have never seen movement
of like character achieve such volume
of popularity in so short time, or one
that it seems to me is so worthy Of pub
lie favor, or so wide-reaching and bene-
fetal in its objects. 1t is what has been
needed in this State long time, an
organization of farmers upon nom
political basis, looking only to their
mutual good. One objection to the
Wheelers is that in spite of every thing
they will be drifted into politics; but
the Alliance will not touch on any thing
of that kind, but will aim to benefit the
farmer, no matter what may be his po-
litical or religious belief. predict it
will become inside of two years the

Where Is Jake Teasberryi
Two UarbOrs Iron News.

Two Harbors Iron News.
About two weeks since J. A. Arm
strong started for his claim up in the
woods some distance from this village.
Jake Teasberry. a well known but
somewhat dissolute character about
town, announced his intention of 60
ing along, saying he was going out to
sober up and intended to stay that
way. They left the railroad at Oak :
dina. and after going about ten miles,
Jake played out and wanted to return.
lie was given provisions enough to
last him three days, and he took the
trail back for the right of way. Arm
strong proceeded to his claim. That
traced back to about mile and one
fourth of the railroad, where his coat
was found in All old logging shanty.
His trail indicated that he Lad taken
off his shoes and was going about bare
footed. No general effort was made
to find him. Tuesday a report reached
the village that his tCdy had been
found near the railroad track, at a
point up the line. 1t proved canard
and was probably started by some sar
castle outsider who recognized the
fact that we were neglecting a mani
fest duty in not looking up the man.
Jake is about forty years of age and a
member of a well-to-do and respected
family in Canada. AS citizen he
may not have been desirable, but hui
mainly demands that if alive he be
rescued, if dead, his body be found
His words On leaving may prove
prophetic.
