six )een for alderman. While studying this
at Rll up he seemed unconscious of every
anthing else, and ran knife, with which he
It ,was whiting stick, into his leg. He cut
erAn artery and bled very freey for time.
IA doctor attended the wounds, but the
wound was not a. great as that made by
the failure of Hartman and Deem to recog-
nize William as being against them.

Merchants and Farmers.

It is entirely understood by the
economic writer's and leaders Of
thought, in the farmers and laborors'
movement, that there is no real con
flict of interest between the agricul-
tural producers and the trades pco-
pie.
The large and comprehensive
changes, which are the chief aims Of
the alliance, include the interests Of
the merchants as we'll as the farmers.
The whole System Of trade and the
entire legitimate) business Of the
country, suffers from our vicious f.
nancial policy.
The small tradesman, merchant or
grocer is alike the victim Of hard
times with the farmer, and instead Of
being antagonized, they have com
mon cause.
The range Of thought has widened,
and the study Of the entire economic
condition has been more comprehen-
sive and thorough since the Grange
did its excellent pioneer work. There
is now very little time given TO figur-
ing out the saving to the farmer by
eliminating the expenses Of the "mid-
dlomen." It is true that there is
much waste in the frequent rehand-
ling Of merchandise, and the middle
mems profits are just 80 much added
to the cost Of the wares. For middle
men have stomaches; they must eat;
they must have their living expenses,
but 80 long as the present lack Of sys-
tenn in trade prevails, there will be
middlemen, and much needless re-

and industrial union is a North Carolina demo
crat; that +. H. RittenhOuse, private secretary TO
the president of the alliance, Is North Carolina
democrat, and that b. II. Clover, vice president
of the alliance and president for Kansas Is by no

The following from Commissioner
Bottoms report Of the bureau OF labor
gives us at least a surface view Of the
not at all cheerful condition Of some
Of the working women in Kansas
cities. OF the struggles, the discour-
agments and the eventual hardening
Of some Of these women for whom life
is a daily battle for bread we may on
-ly guess.
II is quite apparent that there is desire
for home life upon the part OF the women
wage-eanors, and that this desire is gratihed
TO great degree. These homes are ofttimes
maintained under great difficulties. One
girl reports that she is of family Of IA
children; and another, that she is Of one Of
children. Several report that they "could
not get along were II not for tho assistance
from home" One says; 81 buy my own
clothes, and help my parents all | can.'
Those who cannot find home with one or
both parents, seek homes with relatives, 30
that 1924 per cent. find homes in this way.
Two girls, whose parents live some distance
from the city, were found excepting house"
in single room. They report that their
provisions cost $l.5Oper week. OF these two,
our agent notes. "This girl and her sister
room together and board themselves. They
are entirely self-depondent They are quite
ladylike, and dress neatly. Room has but
scant furniture, but IL is clean. Scheduled
as TO articles and cost, il shows; Two chairs,
80 cents each, 81; one rocker, Sl.l5 one bed
stead, SO; bed springs, 81; three comforters,
$3; one pillow brought from home; one
stove, combination cook and heater, single
lid on top, Aj dishes, spoons, knives and
forks, Sl.93; one trunk, $3; lamp, washpan
and bucket, 80 cents; one bread pan, also
used for skillet, "a cents. These household
goods have been in use two years, and, while
bright and clean, are nearly used up. Not
a single book or newspaper was to be seen,
except one-half Of newspaper that was over
the lower half Of the window. The window
faces the east, and is the only place that air
can be admitted, as the door is kept con
stantly locked. piece Of Calico across one
corners, makes a clothes-press. The walls
and ceiling are dirty The room is about
16x16 feet"
This is not n very bright picture, yet il is
but one of several On the other hand,
rooms Of working were seen that
were we'll provided with the necessary COM
forts, and not unfrequently with some Of the
luxuries of life.
II can be safely said that the workng-wo-
men make their habitations as homelike as
possible, with the means at their command.
This argues we'll for the morality Of these
women, and is proper incentive to those
who are seeking to establish good homes at
small cost for women who are thrown on
their own resources As will be seen in the
table of wages and expenses, GA receive as
sstance, and in the table Of wages it will be
found that wages alone are not adequate TO
meet the expenses-the difference being an
average weekly deficit Of 10 cents, in an
average expense Of $5,36 per week. The
facts obtained show conclusvey the desire
for home life, and likewise show that wages
alone are insufficient to meet the expense.

filiations Of the president Of the ma.
tional farmers alliance, neither do we
care; and il is safe TO say that not
man who voted to place him in that
position in the ST. Louis convention
had thought or care upon this
subject. Men Of the north and men
Of the south met in that convention
upon common level, and as associates
in a common brotherhood. They met
for business and not for the perpetua-
tion Of sectional strife; and they So
lected officers with regard 10 their
peculiar fitness for the duties that
would deyolve upon them, and not
with regard TO any ability they might
possess TO keep alive the hatred be-
tween the north and the south II
was remarked by men OF both sections
that this meeting would mark the be-
ginning Of an era of greater harmony
throughout our common courty than
has prevailed since the foundation OF
the Republic. Such was the univer-
sal feeling, and this feeling has met
with a hearty response from the mass
es Of the people represented at that
meeting, both in the north and the
south. Republican Journals see in
this growing sentiment danger to
their continued supremacy, and hence
the untiring effort to again fan the
expiring embers Of sectional hatred
into consuming flame. They would
sacrifice the perpetual peace OF the
nation to their ambition for power.
They see in the great national brother
hood Of the Alliance a menace to that
partisan prejudice upon which their
hopes Of continued supremacy depend,
and hence the continuous effort to
stiAe it's influence. Those who are
constantly reiterating the affirmation
that the Alliance leaders are endeav-
oring TO deliver the Order into the
hands Of the democratic party are
guilty Of wilful, intentional and ma
liclous falsehood thepurpose Of which
is to create dissension among mem
bers by this constant appeal to parti-
san prejudice. Suppose it be true
that the national president has bCen
a democrat and that bis private secre-
tary has been a democrat. How often
must it be stated that party consider
ations have no influence in the selec-
ton of officers Of the orderl II L. l..
Polk has been a member OF the dem
ocratic party as is affirmed, we venture
the assertion that he is sufficiently
we'll informed at this time OF the vii
lainy Of that party that he has no
desire to lead the great host, Of which
he is chief commander, into afliliation
with it's iniquitous policy.
But what shall be said Of B. H.
Clover vice president OF the national
alliance and president Of the Kansas
state alliancel He has been life
long republican, until recently, like
