Our Alliance friendsaTe notbackward in
SLOWING to the world thatin their esI!m-
alton the most important business of the
United States government Is to look az
ter and supply every need Of the farm
ers particularly. They have no use for
a government they cannot use for their
own benefit, and their extreme necessi-
tv is made equally conspicuous by the
manner of their requests for whatever
they want. They don't lower their dig
n1ty by putting themselves IN the attl-
tude of petitioners or suppliants, but
every want is emphatically made In the
form of a peremptory 1--WE demand.
In your paper of Friday evening I al
luded to quite a number of these de-
mands. but not all of those already
promulgated. To-day was gratifed TO
learn that the Illinois brethren had
thought of and promptly made de-
mand for another which would be of
great benefit to I'VE farmers" In the
country, nothing less than that the free
delivery of mails be extended to the
rural districts. Our Illinois friends
didn't say daily, but of course it ought
to be, az 1--WE farmers" need our daily
papers a. much a jewellers In the city
do. OF course the demand should be
granted. It viii cost something, but
Uncle Sam is rich and it win make de-
mand for an army of mail carrers that
would otherwise languish for something

THE terrible railroad accidentwhich re-
shifted n the instant death of three peo-
pie from one family-fsther, mother and
dsughter-atthe University Station near
Minneapolis, Wednesday morning, calls
forth great sympathy. Ii is a source of
much regret to the people Of Maukato to
know that our former townsmaa, Mr..
T. E. Blaser, YVES conductor of the train
that so Suddenly hurled three poor
creatures into eternity. The eoroner's
jury found thRt the accident was due TO
the criminal negligence of George c.
Katchsm, engineer of the Omaha train,
in failing to observe the rule which re-
quires that train be brought TO a stand
still at a station when another train is
at the station receiving or dlscharging
passengers.
''The jury also finds that T. E. Blaser,
conductor of the Omaha train, is guilty
of contributory negligence, inasmuch as
he had talked with the engineer in re-
gard to making up time ID the run from
st. Paul to Minneapolis, and in failing
to see that the very importantrule above
mentioned Was complied with by the
engineer.
at is found further, that the Great

How Mr. Brice Became a Senator.

The means by which Mr.. Brice of Ohio OBJ
tanned his seat in the United States Senate may
be a subject of serious inquiry when the time
Shall come for passing upon his credentials.
Brice does not take his seat until the beginning
of the tifty->econd Congress. Mr.. Payne. the
sitting member, will retain his place until one
year from March next. The Ohio Legisla-
ture elects its Senators now one year in adj
vance of the time when they will take their
seat, because the sessions of the Legislature are
only biennial. prominent Ohio Democrat.

$4,000 to work for him, that member abandoned
him AT the last moment and went over to the
support of Brice, because the latter paid him a
larger sum. will not escape the attention OF

Thy skies be bright with golden glow,
But ere the day he gone half from us,
The world is drowned i'll drifts OF snow.

Because thou closest Winters state

Struck by a Falling Star.

FROM The 81 LOUIS kepuDlle
One of the most remarkable accidents
recorded in history occurred near MARI
borough House. London, Eng, recent
". At about o'clock A. NJ. a gem
tseman, a weIl-known public official,
was passing from St. James Park to
Pail Mail, when he suddenly received a
violent blow on his right shoulder,
which caused him great pain and to
stumble forward as he walked. He no.
ticed a cracking noise at the time, but
had not the slightest idea of the cause
Of the shock he had experienced.
Reaching home, he disrobed and sub
mitted to critical examination, but
nothing was discovered which in the
least accounted for the great pain In
both shoulder and arm. A servant
sent to brush the gentleman's coat next
morning discovered scorched streak
about eleven inches long and an inch
wide, extending across the shoulder OF
the coat and down the back. The mys-
FERROUS shock was explained; he had
been struck by meteor, or falling star.
