The Alliance Boycott.

lie Alliance DOyCOtts
The Capital complains Of the boycott
ting of newspapers and merchants by the
Alliance. This is purely matter OF
self-defense. No paper or merchant that
was friendly or fair with the Alliance
was boycotted and ought not to have
been. Only those papers and merchants
have been bOycottei that, while receiving
support from the members Of the ALI
ance, let slip no opportunity to abuse
and misrepresent the order and class its
members us rebels, demagOgucs, trampS,
shysters and bad and dangerous men
generally. Kansas farmers have real,
substantial grievances, and when they
conclude to adopt their own way Of pre-
senting them they do. not see why it is
anybudy's business but their own, and
they do not propose TO support men and
papers that are doing all in their power
to destroy the only organization through
which their grievances can be presented
and urged effectively. If papers expect
to receive the support of the farmers,
they ought to represent the farmers in.
terests. Business is bushes, and the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
is n strictly business organization. Its
members do not patrOnize merchants
who are caught robbing thom; nor will
they support papers and politicians that
are opposing them by the worst and most
interruptions methods. Had the Kansas
Farmer deserted it's patrons in their first
great struggle for relief, it would not
have deserved, and it would not have ex-
pecred, their support in the future.
The time for cringing and fawning be-
fore enemies is ended i'm Kansas. Those
papers and men and parties who malign |
and traduce the farmers, chasing them as
idiots, louis, Migrants, vagabonds, SIM
pletons not knowing what they want and
incapable of managing their own affairs,
do not deserve patronage from farmers,
and need not expect it from members of
the Farmers Alliance. This rebellion
of the masses will reach every depart
ment Of life, trade and politics, aud will
bring the tOilers into view, and it will
demonstrate that the decalogne and the
golden rule have place in politics, and
that the hiring of Hessians and the pur
chasing Of mercenaries shall not forever
be the rule in American politics. If you
want the Alliance support, show your
selves worthy of it by friendship that
is sincere.-kansas Farmer.

Oldest Place in America.

"Do you know the Oldest place in all
American" said Gen. John B. Hender-
son, OF st. Louis, ito circle of friends
last week. Il don't mean the oldest
town in the country or on the continent,
but the land first formed on the Wes-
tern hemisphere? No? Well l thought
not. It is Mount Marcy, in the Adj
rondack mountains. Agassiz and other
geoligists have figured out that Mount
Marcy was the point Of land that made
its appearance first above the water
when the Western hemisphere was
evolved. have summer home near
Mount Marcy, and I know that the
rocks are azoic in formation, with no
trace of organic life. 1T is the highest
peak of the Adirondacks, and I have
travelled over that country until I know
it pretty we'll. John Browns old home
is only about three miles from my
house. It is interesting to travel
through the Adirondacks with boat
and guides, because Of the beauty of
the scenery. The formation of the
mountains is peculiar. There are many
portages where tho guides carry boats
across from one lake or river to another
lake or river. These mountains are
drained by streams running into Lake
Ontario, the st. Lawrence River, Lake
Champlain, the Hudson River and the
Mohawk River. IT is not dangerous to
ascend Mount Marcy, but it is difficult
and tiresome.

To Save Old nl.1nnries.

The women of Virginia who belong to

Solely With Affairs of the Heart.
The Mexican educates his sons and
sends them to college. but his daughters
have to remain with their mother. There
are too many women there. and thew
live for nothing but love. They become
accomplished, of course, but beyond be-
ing good entertainers, good Mexicans
and good lnguists, they do not amount
to much.
it is considered disgrace for a Next
can lady to earn her own living, saws the
New York Journal The men do tho
cooking and male servants do the house,
work. il a young lady should learn
stcnography and typewriting, or should
Try in any manner to earn her own liy-
ing, she would be ostracised from So
clety. There are many hcresses there
and there are many Mexican advent
,lrerS who make their living marrying
them.
They are handsome. indolent spend
thrlfts, and the ladies fall in love with
them. A Mexican woman's beauty fades
carly. and when q wealthy heiress mar
rles one of these men she never lives
long. When she dies her husband inya-
riably marrics another wealthy girl.
"A Mexican lover must WOO in patience,
as his intentions are from the start
treated as a family matter by the pa
rents of the beloved of his soul. He is
bound by custom to make known to his
lady-loSc his desire to pay his addresses

referred to the mother. and the siege of
the maiden's heart may be said be be-
gun.
Custom compels the youth to execute a
movement called playing the bear,'
which consists of daily afternoon
promenade before the shaded jalousie,
behind which sits the maiden, flanked
by her mother, sisters, female cousins
and aunts.
Before such battery of black eyes
tho sutton must pace back and forth for
at least twenty minutes day. He may
toss note up into the ialousic, if so be
he has sufficient courage to face the
party, but his miSsivcs are read by the
mother before they are delivered to his
love.
His love may answer the notes, but
her replies must be read and edited by
her mother before they are given to the
stately senior pacing up and down in the
blazing tropical sun. If the sutton is
approved by the family he is soon per-
mitted to talk to the senorita still in the
presence Of her family. Ere long he is
allowed to call, and thcnceforth the WOO
ing progresses more in accordance with
American views.
