WHEN the statement is made thai

WHEN the statement is made that
nearly or quite one billion dollars new
life insurance is likely to be written
during 1890 by the regular companies,
and perhaps more in each succeeding
year, the reader careless or unhandy
with his figures may wonder how this
can be possible. But pencil and lit
tie ciphering show it probable enough.
Out of the 65,000,000 uninsured people
who the census will show are living
in the United States, there should be at
least 100000 insurable males, The
amount man now insures for is much
larger than it used to be, and $1,000 to
each new policy holder is not an Excess
sive average estimate. Soft only calls for
a total of 100000 fresh applications year
at $1,000 apiece to make up the billion
dollars of new business. Two hundred
thousand new insurants only means one
person out of every 375 in the country,
or one out of every fifty insurable men.
And if there are fifty such anywhere in
the land who think they can all get
through whole year uninsured:some
of them will be apt to change their
minds after few interviews with the
vigorous life insurance agent of the
period-a being who can accomplish as
much, when heiS feeling first-rate, as
any man alive.

ON TRIAL.

The Alliance movement is on trial to-
day.
1t is to make its first venture as an in
dependent factor in state politics, and
the grave responsibility of the under
taking ought to impress itself upon the
minds and consciences of those who
have the interests of the Alliance organ
ization at heart.
The objects and purposes of the Al
lance are altogether praiseworthy. The
main object of the organization is to
avail itself of every legitimate means to
aid agricultural Industries and TO pro-
mote the interests of the agricultural
classes. Agriculture is so intimately
interviewer into every feature of our in
dustrial. commercial and political life
that any movement for the promotion
of its welfare is both legitimate and
Justifable.
Yet it is singular fact that of all our
industries there has been none SO I'M
justly disseminated against in both
state and national legislation as agri-
culture. The farmers are the most OPP
pressed class in this country, notwith-
standing they are the very pillars of
our social and political fabric.
Thisanom alous state of things is readily
explained by the disoIganized condition
of the farming classes. 1t is to remedy
this trouble and to bring the farmers
together in protection of their separate
interest that the Alliance was organized.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Alliance is able to withstand the pres
sure brought upon it by the politicians.
or whether, like all former efforts to
organize the farming classes, it will
collapse under the strain of partisan in
1uences.
The Minnesota farmers who will as
semble in convention to-day are brought
face to face with the old danger of out
side political pressure. Two rival cor
porations. each with candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor,
are anxious to capture the Alliance con-
vention, and are making strenuous eff
forts in that direction. Mr.. DONNELLY
will appear as proxy for Gov. MERRIAM,
who is recognized as the special repre-
sentative of the Northern Pacific. The
combined forces of the Great Northern
and the wheat ring are being massed in
support of KNUTE NELSON'S nomina.
ton. Both the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern are endeavoring to
obtain from the Alliance an indorse-
ment of their respective candidates.
If the. convention can steer clear of
corporation influence and succeeds in
nominating a clean ticket composed of
men who are known to he honestly and
earnestly devoted to the agricultural in
terests, the Alliance will then have es-
tablished itself as an independent polit-
ical power. and its nominees will be sure
of a respectable vote.
If the convention should fall a prey
to corporation influence, however, and
nominate ticket to suit the purposes
of either of the rival corporation fac
tions the whole movement will be
brought into disrepute and will diSn-
tegrate more rapidly than it was organ

Thirteen Hundred Kegs of
Gunpowder Explode With
Terribly Fatal Effect.
Ten or More Persons Killed
and Upwards of Thirty
Injured.
Among the Victims Are a
Score of Girls Crippled
for Life.
Whites and Blacks Come To-
gether in Louisiana and
Funerals Follow. u.s.

CINCINNATI, o., July ia terrible
explosion occurred late this afternoon
at King station ON the Little Miami
railroad, twenty-nine miles east of Gin
cinnati. Ten or more persons were
killed, and over thirty seriously
injured. Two empty freight cars
were shunted onto the side track,
where car containing 500 kegs of gun
powder was standing. AS the cars
struck there was an explosion and i'm
mediately afterward another car con-
tanning 8O0kegs of gunpowder exploded.
William Frauley, brakeman in the
employ of the Little Miami, was blown
to atoms. Five other persons, sup
posed to be employees of the powder
company, were killed. The Kings
Powder company and the Peters Cart
ridge works have buildings on both
sides of the river along the railroad.
The explosion occurred on the south
side and the
Destruction Was Enormous.
A number of cottages occupied by
wOrkmen in the powder factory. and
situated close to the track, were shat
tered and their inmates injured.
Twelve or fifteen girls at work in the
cartridge factory were crippled. The
railway station and freight house
belonging to the Little Miami
railroad together with all the ada
cent buildings were set OH fire and
consumed. The track and ties of the
railroad are fairly torn out of the
ground, and great hole plowed in the
earth. The Peters cartridge factory
was burned to the ground. A relief
train was dispatched from Cincinnati to
the scene of the disaster, and the work
of rescue and relief was afforded as soon
as possible. The work of searching for
the missing and caring for the wounded
is now progressing.

If the state Democratic convention
should conclude that Hon. Thomas Will
son is the fittest man to head the state
ticket. and the First district convention
should then decide that no man in the
district will better represent both the
farming interests and the policy of a
reduction of the tariff to revenue basis
than Hon. Earle S. Youmans, the party
in the state and the district would take
that first and most popular step towards
winning misunderstanding it.

DRIFTING TO CITIES.

One hundred years ago, when the first
census was taken, there were only six
cities in this country that had popula-
ton of 5000 or over. Only one in thirty
people then lived in city. Ten years
ago there were 2S6 such cities, and
about one in four and half was a resi-
dent of city. The number of cities of
5000 or over is estimated now at $40,
and quarter of the population of the
country is found in the cities. In all
the civilized countries the drift is from
the agricultural districts to the popu

lous cities. The thinly settled districts
contribute to the denser settlements.
AT the ratio in this country not many
decades will be needed to give the cities
the majority of the population. Follow
ing on, the time will be reached when
but meager minority will have their
homes in the rural districts. There
may be new devices, with electricity as
the motor for carrying on agricultural
affairs and producing materials for food.

THE census figures are being revised
so as to change the relative rank of the
second list of large cities. 1t was
thought that Baltimore would come to
the fifth place, but st. Louis seems to
take it with 44S,000. Boston coming
next with about 100000. and Baltimore
seventh with 433, 900. Boston led in the
last census.

The conundrum is propounded, If
the tariff burdens all come out of the
parties abroad and not the consumers,
and the higher the tariff the better for
this country, why not double all the
duties and have big surplus to help
out the infant industries with? Perhaps
MCKINLEY can explain it.

THOSE who demand a service pension

THOSE who demand service pension
are most noisy, if not most numerous, in
the IA. r. in Kansas. Some investi-
CATION has been had by representative
of leading New York paper, and his
statement is that most of them are men
who went into the army near the close
of the war under the Indictment of the
draft or large bounties. Although but
a small minority of the veterans. they
control many of the army posts and
assume to speak for the organization.
They are arrogant and domineering,
and denounce those who would limit
pensions to the disabled and needy, the
widow and orphan. They have forced
the Kansas congressman who introduced
the disability bill to decline a nominal
ton. They claim that the Republican
party is committed to their demands.

PEsCHECK's POPULATIONS.
A Badger Boys Wholesale Thefts
From Railway Cars,


GREEN BAY, Wis, July 15.-For sew
eral months Chicago & Northwestern
officials at this point have been missing
small packages of freight from cars.
Marshal Leicht, through Detective
Casey, of the Chicago & Northwestern
road, arrested William Pescheck, who
was seen to enter car yesterday and
take away with him case of cigars.
He is only sixteen years of age. The
company has lost during the last seven
or eight months about $1,000 worth of
goods, and yesterday afternoon search
warrant was gotten out and the home
of the boy searched, where draw load
of miscellaneous articles, such as boots,
shoes, trousers. stockings, etc., were
found. The mother of the boy, wash
erwoman, claimed she bought the goods,
but when article after article was
brought to light she finally weakened,
and was arrested as an accomplice. The
boys mode of disposing of the articles
was to take large baskstful at time
and sell different pieces at Oshkosh and
other places.

To Fool the Farmers.

Duluth Times.
Some of the country papers are taking
up the cry that the opposition to Mer-
riam is in the interests of the old wheat
ring. This cry is to fool the farmers,
and it is sad fact that some will doubt
less be misled by it. Gov. Merriam only
cares for the farmers votes, for he
knows he needs them. His course on
the tariff question shows that. He con-
trlbuted $500 OF 81, 1000 two years ago to
the American Protective Tariff league;
this year, when he thinks the sentiment
of the state is such that the tariff reform
idea will have great influence on
votes. he is most radical tariff re-
former.
