Against Secrecy

At a regular meeting of the Rock
port Farmers Alliance held july Is
1890, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Inasmuch as. there is a tendency in
the Farmers Alliance to drift toward
secret political nominating copven-
tions, therefore be it
Resolved, by Rockport Alliance.
No. 2IO2 Of Rocks county, Kansas,
that we are decidedly opposed to this
method of procedure; and should
the Alliance in Rocks county nut a
ticket In the field this fall, we shall
oppose a secret meeting for that pur-
pose, as we believe it to be contrary
to the spirit of American liberty and
will only tend to hinder the cause
we are striving to advance. We be-
heve that all nominating conventions
should be open to the public gaze.
RESOLVED, that a copy of these res
OIutlons be furnished by the secretary

that such was The case, he having
been advised by the committee, he

Men who are not afrsid to stand up
in the face of the whole world and
say just whore they stand on this
great issue. The time will surely
come when an army Of human lives
and millions of needed wealth will
not be drawn annually into this ma

men to congress who are brave enough
to stand or fall by tneir principles,
and not to hide hall. of them to gain
votes from the enemies of the church
and home. Wei ave all along undeg-

this question, but he now refuses,
even in private. conversation, to say
where he st8nds. We say to MIR.

Yes a cause is known. Two years

StntlstIcs on Railways.

Some valuable statistics of the railways
Of the United States have been given by
the statistician of the Interstate Commis-
sion in his report for the year ending June
30, 1890. Under the caption of "Men EN-
ployed on Railways" are some very inter-
esting figures, showing that the railroads
in this country give direct employment TO
7O4,74 workers, averaging 459 to each 100
miles OF road. Another table is presented.
showing in contrast that the number of
emnloyes on English railways amounts to
], ,74S per 100 miles of road, or about four to
one, as compared with this country In
this connection the statistician makes sig
nlhcant re erence to the number OF railway
accidents from all causes for the year, the
number of persons killed and injured being
respectively 5,S23 and 26, 800. The tables
presented emphasize with tremendous iorce
the necessity Tor immediate and stringent
legislation in the way of safety appliances.

Weighing scales.

A somewhat remarkable pair Of scales for
weighing large parcels of silver bullion
have just been completed in England, to
the order of the Indian Government, Tor use
in the Bombay mint The beam Of the in
strument is a plain forging in wrought iron
IL inches deep in the center and 81 inches
at the springing of the end boxes which
carry the knife edges for supporting the
pans, the thickness being also tapered from
IL inches in the center to q inch at the end
OF the arms. The total length of the beam
between the points of suspension OF the
pans is six feet. The pans are square plat
forms covered with copper, their weight
being about one hundred pounds each, and
that of the beam four hundred pounds
When tested empty the addition of one-si1-
teenth OF an avoirdupois ounce was sufficient
to defect the index through the whole range
OF the powerful scale, and when loaded
with five hundred and fifty pounds on each
scale, under which condition the load on
the central kuie edge is about fourteen
hundred pounds, DETECTION of iour divis-
ion is produced by one gramme, which cor
responds approximately to 1-2Sc, 900 Of the
load to be determined, degree oil suscepti-

Lightning Rods.

The question OF the degree to which light
ming rods can be relied OF to afford protec-
tion has just been discussed before the Lon
don Institution. The ultimatum arrived at
seems to be that in all cases of steady strain
In which q charged cloud descending from
the upper regions OF the air, or approaching
from a distance, might infict serious injury
upon an unprotected building, q well-de-
signed and properly earth-connected light
ming roo is an absolute safeguard. Ia a
case OF "impulsive rush" the rod may ten
be Of use in bearing the brum OF the dis
charge, though sometimes the lightning
will take no notice whatever of it, striking
the building and altogether neglecting the
rod, and it is even possible that a high
rod might attract q destructive discharge
which otherwise would not have occurred
at all. Although, therefore, a lightning
rod Is la many cases, probably In a very
large majority, of the greatest service, it
cannot be depended upon as affording per
feet immunity from risk, and the assump-
tiOn which has universally been made bv
''the older electricians" that damage by
lightning is in itself conclusive evidence of
some imperfection in the conductor is an
unfounded one.
