in their power as voters and individual

can be engrossed with tariff, resubmlssion

must forever remain divided in opinion

bines, and other evils that anybody can
afford TO denounce without endangering
their standing with the gentlemen who
conduct those institutions, will continue
to rake in their regular profits without
difficulty. The farmer Is at last gettlnr

Straight Talk to Farmers by a
Private Citizen.

EedueIb VINO leel Interested IN the pros
perity of Kansas farmers and manual In.
Dor Of all kinds TO the fact that the pres
ent condition Of farmers arises principally
from five causes, all within theirpower to
control as follows:
1. The effect Of interest In transfer
ring property from the ownership of lbs
producers into that Of money lenders.
Probably not one man in fifty thousand
has any adequate conception Of the tre-
mendious results Of interest upon the CON
ditions of all classes OF people. Farmers
and others who desire to understand this
subject should procure and read and re-
read the book written and published 40
years ago by Edward Kellogg, Of Con-
necticut, and now in print as one of the
Lowell Library paper-covered volumes,
costing 20 cents, retail. Il is entitled,
"Labor and Capital" and is no romance.
II every grange and farmers alliance
would procure this book. of which prob
ably not one voter in ten thousand has
ever heard, and read and discuss II
thoroughly. the enliyening spectacle Of
governors, members Of legislatures, rail
road commissioners, etai, travelling around
on railroad passes to condole with farmers
who are paying abouttwo Bushels Of corn
to get one bushel to market, would come
to permanent quietus, whatever became
of existing parties and the statesmen who
manipulate them.
2. Lack Of legal tender currency. The
work above named is the precursor Of
latter-day literature and discussion Of
that subject, 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Harrison has never found time to read IT,.
3, Exorbltant freights to compel pro-
ductive industry to pay burdensome in
terest and dividends on thousands of mil
lions Of dollars of bonds and stocks that
have no equitable existence. What has
the Board Of Railroad Commissioners
done to reduce frelghts2
4. Unnecessary purchase and wasteful
care Of farm machinery great and small.
No lodging The average life Of farm
machinery in Kansas is stated by men
who sell and collect the chattel mortrape
notes given in payment, to be three years
Their reckless and inexcusNble improvi-
dence In this way alone has in its results
impoverished and bankrupted more far
mers in Kansas than taxes, liquor tariff,
trusts and monopolies combined; and this
ruinous mismanagement is going on as
recklessly as in all previous years. win
oranges, alliances and politicians please
figure this upP 1t lis for each individual
farmer to reform himself in regard to
how much machinery he runs into debt
for and then destroys.
8. Mismanagement Of their affairs on
the farm, a lack OF system, care Of live
stock, waste of time and labor in scores
of ways, evident enough on four farms
out of five all over the state. These causes
of financial difficulty can only be reme-
died by individual management and in

The Principles of The Farmers
Alliance.

Alliance.
We give in part, the address Of "Old
Fogy' before the Alliance just organized
at the Agricultural College, as II brings
prominently before our brethren the
prnciplesand policy, adopted at 81. Louis
"We demand that the government shall
erect warehouses at any point whore a
business Of half million dollars, yearly
Is done. That the government shall take
the products OF the soil that are not perish
able In their nature and store them, and
issue to the farmer bills OF exchange to
the value Of 80 per cent, of the products
80 warehoused.
"Ihat the producer shall have the right
to keep his goods in the warehouse for a
year, or to sell at any time during the
year.
"That the certificate issued shall be le-
gal tender for public and private debts.
"Ihat the coinage OF gold and silver
shall not be limited.
"That the government shall own and
control the railroads and telegraph lines
Of our country"
These are the cardinal principles ofour
order.
= Supposing that we would ultimately
need 5000 warehouses and that the cost
Of these warehouses whold be $25, 100000,
or double II you will, the very liberal estl-
mates and make it 80 millions Of dollars,
yet, If the government were to charge halt
the rates now, charged for lnsurlng and
warehouseing, the receipts would, in Gve
years time, pay for the warehouses so
constructed.
But suppase II did not. Has not the
government built in all the cities Of any
size postoflces, at cost Of hundreds Of
millions2
has not the government for commerce
and contractors passed appropriation bills,
the amount Of which makes our demands
look insignificant by comparison2
One Of the arguments has been that
where the government erected public
buildings It gave employmenttohu hundreds
Of mechanics and scattered money where
the improvements were made.
You may be ready to say this is a new
or novel plan, On the contrary, Joseph,
the great Secretary Of State for King
Potiphar, carried on the warehouse
system centuries ago, the German and
French governments have both practiced
the plan, and at times when It seemed as
If the State would go down in wreck and
ruin, and they were saved by It's adoption.
Every manufacturer Of whisky can hold
his goods for a market that suits hlm--
hold for three years and the government
owns, practically % per cent for taxes.
If the cost Of collecting internal reve-
nue. is less than five percent, we can safe
ly assume that II would not be over 2 per
cent, by our method.
Our national banks are conducted on
the same plan. They deposit evidences
Of debt and get90 percent. in certificates
which we call national bank notes. We,
on the other hand, propose TO deposit
evidence Of SceatA, such products as the
world cannot do without and we only ask
80 per cent. of their value,
Private warehouses or those owned byI
corporations persue the same line. Wheat

room for Improvement on the roads,
however, especially on the raad leading

There is a bad habit that prevails in the
churches of this place, and in fact it pre-
walls in nearly all churches. The habit
referred TO is turning around Of nearly
all the congregation to see who enters
after the service opens. 1t is a very often
sive habit. AS soon as one opens the
door 70 enter, every head turns around as
IL string was attached from their heads
TO the door, thus pulling their heads
around every time the door is opened. II
is TO be hoped that this habit will be
abandoned.

A DESPERATE RIVAL.
BTrs. Mary McComb Says n Woman Fire
The Mysterious shot.

1Trs. Mary McComb Says n Woman fired
The Mysterious shot.
A special to the Philadelphia Record
from this city says:
The sensational features in the famous
suit Of James G. McComb for divorce
from his wife, Mary E. McComb, have
been considerably enhanced, owing to
the latter's assertion that the person
who fred the two shots at her while at
her home, in this city, a week ago last
Saturday night, was none other than q
woman. At the time of the shooting
public opinion leaned to the view that
the deed was most probably done by
some overzealous friend of Mr.. McComb,
who wanted the respondent out Of the
way so as to end the divorce proceedings
and make the husband free man.
Mrs. McComb, however, diepels all
such theories by saying that she will not
for an instant believe her husband di-
rectly or indirectly guilty Of attempting
such heinous crime. "rhe love he bears
for his three children, who range in age
from to 10 years. would surely prevent
him from sanctioning anything Of the
kind" said Mrs. McComb last night.
and have every reason for believing
that il was the work Of q certain woman
(whose name will give to 10 one, not
even the police who are now invesh-
eating the shooting), who has given 1t
out that she will yet be the wife Of James
McComb.
1.-THE foot prints in the snow immedi-
Rtely after the shooting correspond with
those Of this female, and have grounds
for making this accusation. Mrs. Nc
Comb could not be prevailed upon to give
the name of her ould-be-murder, but
she finally admitted that the woman's
identity would become known when the
takingof the testimony by the appointed
commissioners should be resumed, which
will be az the conclusion of the February
termIof court now in progress. The hearing
Of the case is conducted With the utmost
secrecy.
Mrs. McComb is constantly guarded
and is very timid lest a repetition Of the
shooting should occur. Her only com
panions at home are the housekeeper anc
a youth of some Is years. The neighbour
are inclined to sympsthize with her. The
hearing of the case will continue for
month or more after it shall be resume
as all the plaintiffs testimony is not ye
in. while the respondents case has no
been commenced.
