BECAUSE Waco is building rail-
way line to Llano it by no means fol-
lows that San Antonio should stand
aside and make no efforts in that di-
rection. The grading between this
city and Llano is largely done and
what is wanting should be supplied at
once. On to Llano! is the cry that
should be taken up and prolonged,
until this city has direct railway
communication with the largest and
best steel producing beds of ore on
this continent. This railway should
be San Antonio affair and under
control of this city. With such road,
thus controlled, San Antonio can talk
business to Uncle Sam about that
proposed gun plant.

list Of questions 10 be presented 10 sena-

distinguished orator held the questions
In his hand during his lecture, but for
reasons which every alliance man can
guess, did not refer 10 them In bis two
hours lecture The following are the
questions:
/. Is the tariff a taxi II 80, who pays
II, the foreigner or the consumer Of the

2. Does the tariff raise the price OF
goods? II not, how does 1t protect? II
it does, IL must Correspondingly lessen
consumption, and II 30, how can it in
crease work and raise waResf
3. Is not tariff tax n violation of the
principles Of liberty? Does 1t not make
II a crime for people to do with their
own as they please2
A. Has the public moral right 10 take
the earnings Of private individuals away
from them In taxes?
g. II the tariff Is tax upon articles
Of consumption, and If people pay II in
proportion to the amount they consume,
is II a just system OF taxation?
g. Should poor man supporting a
family often be compelled to pay ten
times as much for the support Of the gov.
ernment AZ the rich man with only him
self to support?
T. Should people be taxed in proper
tlon to their wealth or in proportion to
the value OF the privileges or natural OPP
portunlties in the shape Of lands, mines,
etc, granted to them by the people?
s. Is not the natural effect Of the tar.
ilF system Of taxation to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer, and ls not
this condition OF the people being
brought about with great rapldlty In this
country
o. Ought not the president Of the
United States to be elected by the popu-
lar vote, aud the United States Senators

themselves in whether they have a ma
jority Of votes or not?

many that serve the interests Of monopoly
get rich. There ls but one cause; Mo
nopoly sustalns It's papers, and the people

CORRESPONDENCE.
BALDWIN, Kan, October II.

No. $40, Of Prairie City, Douglas county,
Kansas, discussed "The attitude Of the
Farmers Alliance toward women" After
the discussion, which was participated In
by both the men and the women, a vote
was taken 10 test the attitude Of the Prai
rie City Alliance toward the enfranchlse-
ment Of women, and this alliance at least
is unanimously In favor Of including the
women in the "all" OF the alliance motto,
Equal rights to all and special favors 10

10 know what privileges women members
Of the alliance have and what tho attl-
tude Of tho alliance is toward women, /

10 learn all the state organizers and oflic-
ers Of the Farmers Alliance are suffrage
men. They are working for II In every
way their judgment dictates 10 be the
best for the alliance and suffrage also.
The principles upon which the alliance
10 organized give TO women every right
accorded TO men. They have equal op
portuntles TO vote upon every question
brought before the lodge; can be dele
gates to conventions, etc. This principle
should be dear 10 the hearts Of all patri-
otiC women In particular, for where can
help come from but through the Indus
trial classes? They must be represented
In the state legislatures and In Congress,
or else their demands will be unheeded

The Tariff Bill to Be Taken
Up and Passed to a Vote
This Month.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL The pro-
gramme of business for the rest of the
session will be determined in open sem
ate this week, if the present under
standing is carried out. Mr.. Quay, ac-
cording to notice given Saturday, will
introduce his amended resolution to-
morrow, which, under the rules, it is ex-
pected will go over until Tuesday for
action. 1t will not be referred to the
committee on rules, but will be disposed
OF in the senate. This course is desired
by its author and has the approval of
the committee on rules. When it
comes up for consideration motion
will be made, probably by Mr.. Hoar
or Mr.. Spooner, to include the
federal election bill in the
list of measures that shall be considered
after the tariff bill is disposed of. This
is expected to precipitate a debate of
some length and considerable bitter
ness between the two wings of the Re-
publican majority. MI. Quay and Mr..
Aldrich, who is acting with him, be-
lleve the resolution will be passed by
good majority, with no amendment.
When that matter is settled the tariff
bill will again be taken up. and pressed
to vote as rapidly as possible. The
urgent deficiency Appropriation bill, re-
ported last week, will be called up to-
morrow by Mr.. Allison, and will he dis
posed of, If possible, at one sitting. AL
though this congress is in its ninth
months, there have been only three
suspension days" in the house,
Notwithstanding the fact that
the rules provide that at least
twice each month an opportunity
shall be afforded to pass measures under
suspension of the rules. 1t is probable
that tomorrow the rule will prevail, land
the committees will be allowed to call
up selected measures for action. Under
this order the committee Oh education.
if it be reached in the call, will seek to
pass the senate bill to extend additional
aid to agricultural colleges. The COM
mittee on agriculture is to have the
floor Tuesday, and possibly for several
days following, in order to discuss and
act upon the compound lard and meat
inspection bills. When these measures
are disposed of it is possible, that the
labor committee may have day, if the

excess of the actual cost of roads shall
be declared void; that the Australian
system of voting shall be extended to all
voting precincts in khe state. On the
tariff question the resolutions are
strictly in line with the Democratic
party policy. The tariff plank is as fol-
lows:
Believing that our government was found
ed on the idea that all men shall have an
equal chance in the race of life, and that no
taxes should be collected directly or indi-
rectly from the people except what are
necessary to carry on the government econ
omically and honestly administered, we de-
mand such revision of the laws as will lay
the heaviest burdens on the luxuries, and
the lightest on the necessaries of life, and
that all tariffs be gradually reduced.
The resolutions conclude with this
declaration:
We will not support any man for legis-
lative office of any political party who Will
not pledge himself in writing to use his infiu-
ence for the formulation of these demands

THE ENGINE RAN AWAY.
What Might Have Been a Terrible
Accident.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-There was a
collision OH the Harlem division of the
New York Central railroad near Mel
rose station Oh Saturday night which,
though it providentially did little dam
age, might have been very serious
matter. At IL o'clock engine s42, with
train of eight freight, cars, pulled out
of the yard at the station, and had just
gone through the open switch to the
down track, when .'light'' Engine No.
S41 came down the track and struck
the tender of S42, tearing it loose
from the train and throwing 1t
on the side. When they saw
that a collision was inevitable, the
engineer and fireman of No. S41 jumped.
The engine keeping the track after the
collision, went on its vile way to the
city with no guiding hand to check its
speed. The flight of the engine was
telegraphed to all stations below, and
the track was cleared. The runaway
kept on its mad course until it reached
the Grand Central depot, where it came
in collision with a yard engine, but with
so little force, its speed having been
checked for the want of steam, that no
damage was done. The engineer and
two firemen of Engine S42 were
thrown out when the collision occurred
at Melrose, and were badly injured.
The division superintendent is inveSti-
eating the case, as there is q suspicion
of foul work.
