Everybody Hit Already.

No sooner do the victorious demo-
Gratis begin to shoot off their mouths
about repeating the Mckinley bill
with the aid of western republican
senators than stocks tremble in Wall
street, showing how much capital
fears democracy. But an even more
significant effect is reported by the
wool market editor of that free trade
journal, the Boston Herald.
The wool market is more quiet, as
indeed it was to be expected that it
would be. The position of stocks is
not favorable to heavy trade, nei
ther can even the most prosperous
manufacturers be expected to buy
wool every week in the year. In the
first place they have bought very
heavily of late, and it is natural to
suppose that there would be limit
to their buying somewhere. In the
next place the turn of political af-
fairs is not at all pleasing to such
manufacturers as have banked great
deal on the features of the Mckinley
tariff. They see little cloud in the
horizon, where it may have looked
very clear the day before election.
In fact, it is positively known that
planned for the enlargement of their
mills have decided to wait awhile
While there is not the slightest possi-
bllity, in the minds of these manufac-
turers, that the Mckinley tariff can
be repealed during the administration
of President Harrison, yet these man
ufacturers do not care to cucumber
h emselves with enlarged mills that
are not, by any possible chance, to
be desirable after a period of two
years.
There you are. They were buying
wool every heavily of late" as well
as planning the enlargement of their
mills and the employment of more la
Dor. Now they have not only stop
ped buying wool, but stopped enlarg- |
ing their mills. Thus the democratic
victory has already hit three ways
thus:
1. The capitalist-stocks down.
2. The farmer-wool buying check
ed.
3. The laborer-mill enlargement
checked.

Our Regular Army.

Under the efficient management of
the war department by Secretary
Proctor, and the measures passed by
the present congress, the regular
army has been much improved, but
there is room for further improve
ment. Major Schoield, in
his annual report just issued, calls at
tention to the needs of the army, and
recommends that it be increased to
10000 in number. 'sThe time has
now come," he says, "when the fu-
ture possible or probable military ne
cessities of the country should die
tate military policy. The small reg
ular army should be so stationed that
it may be prepared, at the shortest
notice, to respond to any call which
may be made upon its services and at
the same time to assist in all practi-
cable ways in preparing the much
larger body of the militia of the sew
eral states, or national guards, for
active service in time of need"
Relative to the increase to 10000
men Gen. Schofield suggests that the
army be made up as follows: Infan-
try, % regiments (eight companies
each), IA, 1925; cavalry, 10 regiments
90 troops each), 1850; artillery, Z
regiments Go batteries each), 5,145.
Total for the line of the army, 1920.
The remainder would be distributed
among the engineers, battalion, ord
nance corps, scouts, etc.
Gen. Schofeld reports the board
of ordnance as having examined and
acted upon 280 inventions, which in
clude cannon, mortars, guns for high
smokeless powders, air
ships, cartridges, etc. The board
having S., ,256, 1894 at it's disposal has
made allotments to the amount of
81 .800,88S, the largest item being
81, ,901, ,612 for guns and steel forg-
ings for guns. The sum of $47, 900
was expended in making experiments
with high explosives.
Gen. Schofield heartily commends
the measures adopted by congress,
and says they will prove of great and
lasting benefit to the military service.

GEO. II. BLAKE, Publisher.


Victor Hugo calls this "the woman's
century" and he might have added that
it is the chIldren's century as well, for
never before in the worlds history has
so much thought been paid 10 children
their schools, their books, their pictures
and their toys. Childhood, as we under
stand 1t, is a recent discovery.
Up to the time OF the issue OF the 50.
NicholDs Magazfne, seventeen years ago,
literature and children's magazines were
almost contradictory terms, but the new
periodical started out with the idea that
nothing was too good for chlldreni the
result has been juvenile magazine genu-
Inc with conscientious purpose, ~ the
greatest writer's contributing To ID, with
the best artists and engravers helping 60
beautify it,-and everything tuned to the
keynote Of youth.
1t has been the special aim Of St Nch-
oEas to supplant unhealthy literature with
stories of living and healthful interest.
1t will not do to take fascinating bad lit
erature out of boys hands, and give them
in its place Mrs Barbauld and Peter Par
ley, or the work OF writer's who think
that any "good-y" talk will do for chill
dren, but they must have strong, inter
esting reading, with the blood and sinew
of real life in it,-reading that will wakcn
them to IA closer observation OF the best
things about them.
In the seventeen years Of It's life, 50.
Nicholas has not only elevated the chill
dren, but it has also elevated the tone OF
contemporary childrens literature as
well. Many of its stories, like Mrs. Bur-
nett's "Little Lord Fauntleroy," have be-
come classic. 1t is not too much 60 say
that almost every notable young peoples
story now produced in America FIRST seeks
the light in the pages of that magazine.
The year 1891 will prove once more
that "no household where there are chill
dren is complete without S. Nich0las.'
j. 7. Trowbridge, Noah Brooks, Charles
Dudley Warner, and many well-known
writer's are to contribute during this com
ing year. One can not put the spirit of
50. Nicholas into a prospectus, but the
publishers are glad TO send full an
of the features for 1891 and
a single sample copy TO the address Of
any person mentioning this notice. The
costs $500 year. Address

We Shall Mine our Own Nickel.

1t has been found that the use of
steel as armour plates in the construc-
ton of vessels is open to the objec-
tion that such vessels take on barna-
cles, seaweeds and everything of the
sort excessively. Especially is this
the case with vessels sailing in the
equatorial regions of the Pacific ocean.
The discovery has been made that
nickel has been successfully used to
alloy steel and prevent this disastrous
result. Congress at its last session
made an appropriation of 81 10000
for the purchase of nickel to be used
in this improvement. No sooner
was the appropriation made than ru-
NOR had it that formidable combin-
alton of nickel importers was being
formed with view to cornering the
market and forcing up the price. In
anticipation of such a rise the officials
at Washington instituted inquiries as
to the extent of the nickel resources
in this county. Heretofore all nickel
in quantity had been obtained from
foreign sources. The navy depart
ment has discovered the presence of
vast deposits of nickel in Virginia
and other states, and authorizes the
statement that no combination can
offset this rich home supply. It is
gratifying intelligence that our indie
pendence is assured in this matter.
And it is also fortunate that the want
of the mineral has been such as to
warrant the search, and to develop
the industry.

The Farmers Alliance.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Since the
farmers alliance has overwhelmed so
many of the leading politicians of the
country a general inquiry has arisen,
"what is this great alliance, and how
came it to be so powerful?' The
cent history of several farmers. orga-
nizations- the National farmers, al
lance and industrial union, organi-
zed a year ago at st, Louis, and now
having 1000, 900 members the Ma
tional grange of the patrons of hus-
bandry, with 10000 subordinate
oranges. the Northwestern alliance,
confined mainly to the Dakotas and
Kansas the Patrons of husbandry,
with 10000 members in Michigan
and 90, 900 more in other states the
National colured farmers alliance
and cooperative union, claiming l.
OO0,00 members, and the Farmers
mutual benefit association, claiming
100000.
Taken at their most modest and
probable showing of strength, it is
certain that these various bodies of
agriculturists comprise not less than
100000 and possibly as many as
1000, 900 tillers of the soil, banded
together at first mainly for social,
educational and economic objects, but
now determined upon working po-
litico-social revolution in the United
States. The proceedings of several
of these separate organizations are
guarded with as much secrecy as
those of the Masons, the Knights of
Labor or the Federation of Labor
They have their own newspapers,
some of them with a circultion as
high as 100000 annually. They
have state and national treasures
from which their expenses are paid !;
insurance funds, cooperative stores
and factories, where they purchase
their own supplies for the household
and farm.
The original farmers alliance was
born in Texas in 1875, just after it
had become painfully evident that
the cattle kings of Texas had shown
disposition to take everything in
sight whether it belonged to them
or not. The order, seeking the ad
vancement of southern farm interests
spread throughout the south and be-
came gigantic industrial and politi
cal factor. and held its first national
convention at Shreveport. La, In
October. 1887, with delegates from
10 southern states in attendance.
Since then it has SO spread and alb
sorbed kindred organizations that in
4 the present congress it induced Sena-
4 tor Vance to present to the senate
and Congressman Pickler of South
Dakota to the house a bill now
known as the snb-ireasury bill, which
provides that the government shall

Regarding Pensions.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner of Pensions is printed. 1t
covers the fiscal year ending June
80, 1890, with a supplementary re-
port to September 80 concerning the
enforcement of the disability pen
sion act of June 27, 1890.
According to Commissioner Raum's
report there were on the roll, June
80, 1890, pensioners to the number
of 537,944. They were classed as
follows: Army invalid pensioners,
$50, ,8G9 army widows, minor child
rem and dependent relatives, 104, ,456
navy invalid pensioners, 3, 234 navy
widows minor children and depend
ent relatives, 2,460 survivors of the
war of 1912, $3.50; survivors of the
Mexican war. 17,158; widows Of
soldiers of the Mexican war, 6,765.
There were &C, ,637 original claims
allowed during the year, or IA ZIG
more than allowed during the fiscal
year 1899, and 5,385 more than dur
ing the fiscal year of 1888. The
amount of the first payments in these
66,637 original cases amounted to
$50, ,47S, ,S41, ,19, which was S11 1885,
1851 more than the first payments
on the original claims allowed during
the fiscal year 1889, and S10.I79, ,525-
y more than the first payments on
these original claims for1S90 averag-
ed S4Sj, Il. The average annual
value of each pension at the close of
the fiscal year was S233,94. The to-
tai amount disbursed for pensions,
expenses, etc., was S106, ,493, ,890,19.
Commissioner Raum reports that
there had been received in the Pen
sion Office, up to Sept. 30, 1890,
460,5S2 claims under the disability
pension act of June 9th 1890.
About 30 per cent, of these claims
were filed, by persons who already
had claims on file in the office. The
work of the Mail Division ran up to
more than 81 900 pieces of mail per
day. Attention to this required
large extra force of clerks. On Oct
tober l the Record Division was
handling 10000 Gains per day
According to statistics carfully
compiled in the Pension Office
there are 1,256,O89 veteran surviv-
ors of the war of the Rebellion, of
whom 144,O0O are 81 years of age
and upward. 1t is an interesting
and somewhat surprising fact that
there are upon the pension rolls %
widows of Revolutionary soldiers.
A table in the report gives their nam
es, ages and residences.

The new tariff will have to stand
until it has been decently tried. No
snap judgment can be taken, after
campaign of unparalleled lying, in
which a small fraction of the votes
has been led to confound the short
ness of crops, and the greed of some
retail dealers and the effects of vari-
Gus speculations, with the conse-
quences of the tariff. The country
will understand this measure better
two years hence, The great majori-
ty of Republican votes are content to
wait for their vindication by events,
and the minority will hardly find
Senators or Representatives ready to
commit suicide by affronting that ma
