THE FRIEND OF THE ALLIANCE.

The Wichita EAGLE thinks the Alliance
should be encouraged by Republicans in
the south. If it is a good thing anywhere.
it is good thing in Kansas. Why not
advise Republicans in Kansas to encourage
the movement? The Alliance is here to
stay, and its principles are the same in
Kansas as they are in the south. You
don't object to its nciples-eXcept in
kansas.-Medicine Index.
The point in the foregoing, if, indeed,
there is any point to it, is not well
taken. We are at loss to know what
more the Republicans could do to en-
courage the Alliance in Kansas than
they have done and are doing. They
adopted the essence of their declaration
of principles as far as the right would
permit, in the Dodge City platform and
will no doubt do so in the state platform;
and not only so, but the Republicans
furnished the men for the Alliances
state ticket. III the main, and helped
them to place them. The only thing
left for the Republicans TO do for the
Alliance Is to vote their own party ticket
and thus teach the Alliance, ct al a
lesson they need to learn, l. e.. that the
Republican party is the great party of
the people. the champion of their rights,
and whatever wrongs may exist from
time to time, real or imaginary, can be
more quickly and certainly corrected
through that party than by any other
means possible. This viii be a real ser
vice to the Alliance and its kindred isms.
1t will give them immediate benefits of a
practical sort, and in order to impress
the lesson upon them indallibly the Re
publicans want to encourage the Ali
ance following to put forth their best
efforts to make their movement as strong
as possible; the stronger it is the more
completely Will defeat take the conceit
out of IT,
We are told in Holy Writ that 1.-The
Lord loveth whom He chasteneth," and
it is on this principle that the Republi-
can party will scourge the erring sons of
the Alliance.

ALL FOR HALLOWELL.
From the Great Bend Register.

From the Great Bend Register.
The Democratic convention at Pratt on
Tuesday got into a squabble and after a
red hot debate over resolution that they
deemed it expedient to nominate can
didate for congress" three cheers were
given for Hallowell, and large number
of delegates left the hall The Hutchin-
son News correspondent SAYS:
As the Sumner delegation cast its ten
votes for the resolution, thereby adopt
ing it, the friends of a fusion set up a
shout, and on the announcement of the
vote pandemonium began in earnest.
Delegates were on their feet. each irving
to talk loud enough TO be heard. Chair
man Petition used his gavel vigorously
but to no purpose. When the din had
subsidized somewhat W. $. Denton, of
Medicine Lodge, advanced TO the front
of the hall and for few minutes poured
hot shot into the fusionists. He denounc-
ed the action of the convention as the
work of Wichita ward politicians, and
not the voice of the farmers of the dis
trict. The voice of the Democracy had
been stifled, and her banners were trail
ing in the dust of disgrace. He said
the name of Jerry Simpson would
never stain a Democratic ticket in Bar
bour county. Warming to his work and
pointing to the stars and stripes which
graced the convention hall he said the
Democratic party would never supplant
the old flag of the union with the red flag
of Anarchy. The Democrats would vote
for an old soldier rather than vote for an
anarchist. Mr.. Butcher, of Newton.
sprang TO his feet and said he would
work and vote for HallOwell. Others
declared the same thing. The conven-
ton was on its feet. and the widest ex-
element prevailed. Before anybody
could tell how it happered, there rang
out above the din a shout of three cheers
for Jim HallowelI, and the hurrah that
greeted his nomination at Dodge City
could not have been more enthusiastic
than that which rang out from this
Democratic convention. The speaker
pounded for order but the main body of
the delegates left the hall amidst the
confusion. One lone, sick looking, cOwed
delegation renamed and endeavored to
rally the cohorts. That was the delega-
ton from Wichita. The beardless bows,
but few minutes before flushed with
delights of victory. now turned pale as
they realize the results of their own
handiwork.

THE FORCE BILL.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Public sentiment viii not sustain the
Force Bill, and if it becomes a law, not
sustained by public opinion, it will ag-
gravate the evils it is intended TO
remedy. II would retard the subsistence
of sectional feeling and prejudice in the
south where it would be regarded as
partisan measure designed 70 sustain and
keep the Republican party IN ascend
ency in national affairs and secure for
this party control of state governments
in the south.
Force As a factor in government
should be used with great discretion.
When unjustly applied it begets opposi-
ton. and tends to create rebellion.
FAIR elections in the South viii never

Kansas City Star: The house has
passed the senate meat inspection BILL
and it now requires only the signature
of the president to become law. 1t is a
wise measure and viii remove all valid
objections which have been urged by
foreign powers against American meats.
1t will tend to encourage exports as it
will wipe out the sanitary argument
which has excluded from certain Eu-
ropean ports the class of food products
which the bill affects. The measure
provides for thorough and impartial
system Of inspection and under its opera
ton it will be practically impossible for
mwholesome meats to escape the atten-
ton of the officers and to be shipped
abroad.

The Buena Vista Alliance of Sumner

The Buena Vista Alliance of Sumner
county at its meeting last week adopted
a series of resolutions, the bent of which
is depreciation of the Alliance becom-
ing mixed up with politics. As an
original proposition the position of the
Buena Vista Alliance is unquestionably
correct. As political party the ALI
ance can not but prove failure; but it is
too late to urge the point for this seasons
political campaign. The movement as a
whole is committed to the policy adopted
by its leaders of backing up its demands
with an organized effort to secure them.
Whether the individual members of the
Alliance, or even local organizations
will feel bound by the action of the
leaders in this matter, and to what ex-
tent can not be correctly estimated at
this early date. There seems to be a
considerable diversity of opinion on the
subject, even among the membership of
the Alliance.

Two years ago the Republicans of Har-
vey county adopted what is known as
the Crawford county system of nominal
ing candidates for county officers. Some
objection has developed to the system in
the party in that county, and in order to
test the sense of the party on the ques-
ton of retaining the system the county
central committee have resolved to re
submit the question to the voters to be
decided at the coming primary election
to be held in a short time under the oper-
alton of the Crawford system. And no
body seems to object to this mode of set
Ting the disputed question. There can
be no valid objection to it.

DRINKING wErER FOR PARIS.

Plans for Providing = BountifuI supply
for the Capital OF France.
The GalignAni Messenger, in some reosns
articles on the water supply % Paris, gives
the views of Professor senator Oornil, who
Is for the purchase OF tho Avre springs.
In the course Of an interview on the sub
ject he stated that the quantity of spring
water at the disposal of the inhabitants il
altogether inadequate. Two remedies"
he said, 'have been proposed. The first
one is u system Of double canRhzStion in
each house. Tbe7e would be sZn2ll pipe
for the supply of spring water aud u larger
one for river water for washing and cleans
ing purposes But this project would
cost 100000 900 francs and occupy ten
years in execution. The other plan Is to
filter the water taken from the Seine by
means Of sand: il Is suggested that sand
pits for the purpose might be established,
a. at Nantes But this system woula be
impracticable in Paris, where no sewer than
600 pits of the kind would DC required.
The open reservoir system, with decan-
tation and filtration, has yielded fairly sat
isfactory results in England; but the pro-
cess is slow and imperfect, as the filtering
bed has TO be 50 frequently removed
Nothing. therefore, can 50 ldvAntageOusly
replace a supply taken from springs sit
uttsd at a sufficient altitude. We must,
therefore, conclude in favor OF the scheme
for drawing our water supply from the
Avre springs, however much We may re-
greet the necessity Of deprrving district OF
q portion OF its water. | am aware that
the inhabitants Of the valley Of the Avre
have loudly protested against the scheme
and have suggested that we should draw
cur supply from the Cailly springs, but
these are situated At level below that of
the Seine. To pump mp the water TO the
heights Of Paris would require the use Of
powerful machines, which would cost &c
least 5, 900 0OO francs"
DR. Cornil then showed the economy OF
the project aow before the chambers. The

A SERIOUS SITUATION.

The action Of the recognized leaders of
the labor organizations that are involved
in the present labor troubles in the east
| in giving formal recognition and sane
ton to the strike on the Vanderbilt rail-
wav system is the most momentous in
cident that has occurred during the year.
| Without such endorsement the issue was
! largely personal and at most local in its
| efforts, but now it extends to the entire
organization and the effort will be made
to apply its restrictions to all business in
any and every way affecting the system
at which the strike is primarily aimed,
and this will unavoidably involve all
other systems and roads that have an
interchange Of business, direct or in
direct. That it will involve the entire in
dustrial system of the country if not set
tied promptly there seems to be no doubt.
From the statements made by the repre-
sentatives of both sides, both unques-
tionably have something of right with
them, and there is no outside party or
person authorized to decide the issue as
joined. But that it must be settled sooner
or later by somebody or some process is
patent to all; it can not continue indef-
nitely, and the longer it shall continue
the greater Will be the injury to both,
for neither can escape the harmful eff
fects of such a conflict.
In view of these facts and the interests
of the public that are involved and viii
be made to suffer in proportion to the
extent and duration of the struggle,
some mediator ought TO step in and
bring the trouble to a close at
at once. 1t will be easier to
do it now than after the trouble
has progressed for a week or a month.
Who the proper one is to do this we are
not prepared to say, but the involvingS
make it imperative that it be done by
some one. If not done, and if Mr.. Pow
derly's declarations set forth in yester-
days dispatches may be taken as an
earnest of the determination of the or
ganization for which he speaks, it is be-
yond human power TO estimate what
suffering and loss the country may have
to endure as the result of the war that
is formally declared?
We are no alarmist, but we want to
warn the people that an issue has been
made, such as never has yet occurred in
this country and if not speedily settled
will lead to revolution the like of
which has never taken place in this
country before. A break has
been made in the dyke and unless the
breach is closed at once the country Will
be engulfed. 1t will not avail to under
take to place the responsibility and lay
censure where it may rightfuIly belong. |
THAT would only serve to intesify and |
make matters worse That will come up as |
an after consideration, to be used as a
warning for the future. 1t is the Condi- |
ton that confrontS us that demands inn |
mediate attention. An ounce Of pre-
ventative is worth a pound of cure, and /
in this case may be worth unnumbered |
tons to this country. The country is in
no condition, either materially or as to
the sentiment of the people, to endure
what seems inevitable unless this trouble |
is by some means ended in its beginning.
Stop it! stop it at once!

\ controversy over the results of the
ocean race between the Teutonic and the
City of New York and against time
might naturally have been expected. 1t
is now asserted on the one hand and as
forcibly denied on the other that the
Teutonic did not make the trip in the
time that has been claimed. This Grim
ination and recrimination Is over a mat
ter of only thirteen minutes and the am
bition to beat rival, even if by no more
than a second. To what good purpose Is
all this: 1t strikes the unprejudiced OBJ
server as foolish, If it is not dangerous
