Of tbe next House, and his views o.

interview, WIN b found interest
ing:
The Chicago Tribune's Washing
ton special Of The 3lth inst. says |:
Roger Q. Mills returned to the
Capital yesterday, somewhat worn
out By bis exertions during the lats
campaign.
"Wiu tho Democrats In the next
Congress attempt to legislate In 40
cordance with the principles Of the
Farmsrs' Alliaaos!" qusrisd . re-
porter.
1.-THE Democratic House will meet
the demand for money BY passing
the silver FREQ coinage bill, which
the Senate may or may not agree
to. and which, II it ever reaches the
White House, will probably be We
toed by President Harrison. That
% Ill the Legislation We shall At
tempt in that line.
''It IL idle to talk Of the Sub
Treasury bill. The Democratic
party can never, - long - it ex-
lists, which will b - long - it Il
true to strict constructionist ideas,
indone such an unconstitutional |
scheme. Mr.. Tilden, in his letter |
to the Iriquois Club, stated the
Of the Democratic party
IN one sentence: 1.-THE General
Government should do nothing for
the State which the State can do
Tor itself, and no government should
10 anything for the individual which
he can do for himself.''
"Ws ought never to get away
rom that doctrine. The Demo-
ratio party believes that the citi-
:en Is able to take cara Of himself
md run his own finances. We pro-l
'ose to let him do it aud keep 10
ar away from patsrnaiism - pos
ible.' Il
''Has the victory come to stay ?"
"Most undoubtedly. The peo-
lie have materially indorsed the I
ositiOn OF the Democratic party
n the tariff question. Many Re-
ublicans were willing to have the G
ecessary protection afforded in
INT industries, but they could not t
nderstand the necessity for doub- .
ne the protection on industries p
hich had been established years q
20.
"When the Democratic party has il
'ntrol of the House 1t will reduces B
70 tariff on the necsssaries Of life. z
course the bill will not pass . n
epublican Senate, but We will re- o.
'em our promises and force the g
rue on that line until We get the Il
nate and President. II the Re- q
'blican party insists in legislating pl
ainst the common people and in n
vor Of the trusts and combine
M. the revoit will b still greater ii

THE ALLIANCE AND THE
LAWYER.

HE Kansas farmers cherish feel
ings ofsspecial luminosity toward the
legal profession, and in the jndicia
district composed Of Barber and
Comanche Counties they elected -
judge J. A. Mckay, who il not
. member Of the bar and never
read . page Of law in his life. So
Tar they are are thoroughly consis-
tent. but now comes the painful
information that Mr.. McKay's
local Alliance will send him TO Ann
Arbor for so days to prepare for
his judicial duties.
This % . very absurd proceeding.
II the Alliance wants lawyers for
judges, why doesn't in nominate
lawyen? II it believes that q legal
education % detrimeut to a man.
why should it inaics one on lie
newly elected judge?
Bltths Alliance II not only incon-
sistent: It u excessively foolish.
Sixty days study win not make al
good lawyer Of any man, bat h i |
to confuse and impair the
natural sense Of Justice which ex-
ists in the breast Of every honest |
man and would enable any iatelli-
gent and virtuous man to b. q good |
arbitrator between two disputauts. |
We fear that Mr.. Mckay will en-
srge from Ann Arhor neither q
awyer nor . layman: be win have
. transferring Of Law terms,
nth no just comprehension Of legal
principles. and With . greatly im-
|airod sense Of abstract law and
Justice. |,

LOTTERY ANCESTRY.

The history Of our country 10 re-
lplote in instances of resort to lotter.
- for the purpose Of raising funds
for ill kinds Of public works and
snterprises. Colleges, churches,
lsvsss, etc., were built BY this
means. We are taught to honor
the memory Of our ancestry, the
foundsrs Of this great COMMON
wealth. and 10 regard them - being
Ill that was honorable, noble, heroic
and good. And yet these clear
beaded statesmen and christian lead
ers recognized the fact that lotteries
were the easiest and less burden

STARVING INDIANS.

There i something profoundly
pathetic in the eagerness with whicl
the Sioux Indians are looking 70

twenty years they have been laugh
to believe that be may make hi,
appearance At any moment. and
now tho "msdical men, predict
that before the grass i fsur inches
high in the spring their longed
for and prayed for delivsrer will
arrive.
These Sioux have worked them
selves into . condition of danger

pomp, ceremony aud characteristic
dances they celebrate the approach

and the happiness which prevailed
before Columbua discovered the

This dream, which oan never be |
realized, haa filed the Sioux With |
unrest. Even the missionaries are
a peril, and Mrs. Weldon has
been forced to seek safety in
Kansas.
In the meantime the rations
