A Model City.

Only one city in the world has ever
undertaken by legal supervision to
put every house under positive and
absolute sanitary control, and that
city is Buenos Ayres. The purpose
is within three years to have this
accomplished. By no other means
can city be rendered safe for resi-
dence, and in no other way can the
law that city residence rapidly de-
generates the population be reversed.
The matter of sanitation cannot in
any phase of it be left to individuals,
it must be a public provisions, rigidly
enforced. Now that two-ninths of
all our people live in cities, the sub
ject is one that cannot be deferred.

Social Features.

There is one merit Of these Farmers
Alliances. if they have no other merits,
said an Alliance man, land it lies in
their sociable features. They draw the
farmers together, make us acquainted
with each other. help US to find agree
able companions or friends, give us a
chance of exchanging opinions, and show
us how to spend our spare hours in the
winter time. though we have not many
hours to spare at any time. The life of
western farmer, if not an eastern or a
southern farmer, is apt to be very lone
some Perhaps he lives far out, or does
not agree with his next neighbors, or
finds out that they can't speak the En-
glish language, or doesn't like to go to
church, or some other thing of the kind,
and he is as badly off as poor sheep in
the wilderness. But the Alliance gives
us show, and we make plenty of friends
at its meetings. and we go home at night
filed up with notions after having been
at meeting and talking with everybody
within twenty miles.-Exchange.

AS the Farmers Alliance will have a
strong representation in the next house
of representatives. and as the farmers
may increase their representation here,
this fact is likely to have great tend
ency to cause congressman to live in
less extravaganrsnanne The farmers
not only believe In Official economy, but
also in personal economy. They think
that one is necessary to the other. A
number Of men who have occupied good
positions in congress. and who depended
upon rural constituency for their Off
cial existence, have been suddenly re-
tired to private life on account of the
farmers of their district thinking that
their habits while at tho national capital
were not sufficiently economical
As the great majority of congressman
represent agricultural constituencies they
may conclude hereafter to cut down ex-
penses. knowing that the farmers are
just now taking deep interest in poll
tics and that the tillers of the soil do not
approve of expensive living. If this
should prove to be the case it may cease
to be the fashion for congressman to live
luxuriously. and then there will be bet
ter chance for congressman to put
something by for rainy day.-Congress-

Mr.. G.. D. Schrader. Democratic-Al-
lance member Of the legislature from
Logan county, proposes concert of ac-
ton between Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa
and the two Dakotas in legislation af-
fecting the rates of interest for money
and providing stringent usury laws.
Mr.. Schrader's idea is likely to meet
with general favor. The chief motive
for the plan is to checkmate the threat
ened withdrawal of capital from Nebras-
ka on account Of the usury legislation
which the Farmers Alliance is pledged
to enact.
Mr.. Schrader argues with some force
that even if these usurers by withdraw
ing their capital might embarrass one
state. they could not thus succeed if sew
eral western states united.
Certainly any plan which affords an
effective remedy for the outrageous ex-
actions of country money lenders on
chattel loans should be seized upon.
There is no need to change the present
rate of interest. What we need is law
strong enough to put a stop to usury: a
law to protect foolish. improvident and
desperate people from borrowing money
at rates which they cannot pay. but
which merely eat up their substances; a
law to put stop to robberies which are
perpetrated by money lenders on unfort-
innate borrowers.
Such law will not injure Nebraska.
1t may pinch little ut first. Usurers
may try to make it unpopular. But it
is necessary. and once enforced will soon
operate to protect the weak against the
strong.
No legitimate money lender who CON-
plies with the law as it is now need fear
adverse Legislation. The farmers are
only after the sharks. World.

Woman Suffrage in South Dakota.
From the Union Signal.
Official returns from the vote on
the extension Of suffrage to women
and Indians in South Dakota show
woman suffrage to have been defeat
cd by $4,000 and Indian suffrage
adopted by 5000 majority. In less
than one month these new voters
start out on the war-path. If being
compelled to submit to the control of
this irresponsible element was not

suffering women, the situation would
be one of the most ludicrOus in the
annals OF the century.
Men have long conceded the fact
that the voice of pugilist Sullivan in
government is more trustworthy than
that of Frances Willard. This is a
cause for mild enthusiasm compared
to that Of Susan 3. Anthony at the

feathers, imploring HIM for her ballot!
In my imagination 1 can see, in the

The musical or whistling tree is
found in the West Indian islands, in
Nubia and the Soudan. It has a pc
culiar shaped leaf, and pods with a
split or open edge The wind passing
through these gives out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name.
In Barbados there is a valley filled
with these trees, and when the trade
winds blow across the island a con
slant moaning, deep toned whistle is
heard from it, which, in the still hours
of the night, has a very weird and I'M
pleasant effect.
A species Of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Soudan, is
also called the "whistling tree" by the
natives. Its shoots are frequently, by
the agency Of the larve of insects,
distorted in shape and swollen into q
globular bladder, from one to two
inches in diameter After the insect
has emerged from a circular hole in
the side Of this swelling, the opening,
played upon by the wind, becomes a
musical Instrument, equal in sound to
a sweet toned hute.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
