PCLLING OFF THE MASK.

The National Farmers Alliance now seems
TO be nothing but a puppet. When Democratic
Senator's at Washington pull the strings, the
Alliance dances, violently waves its arms. or
otherwise comforts itself according to orders.
Or Wednesday the fact leaked out at Wash
ington that some prominent Senators on the
Democratic side had been sending urgent tele-
grams to the small town in Florida where the
National Alliance is in session TO have that
body pass resolutions denouncing the Election
bill. The machine and the wires arc in good
working order. Promptly the National ALI
ance passed on Wednesday the resolution de-
sired, before it had even pretended to consider
any business relating to farmers or their espe-
cial interests. 4 number of the Western dele
gates objected, it is stated in reports tele-
graphed, on the ground that such a resolution
at this time would tend to deprive the Organiza-
ton of its o bipartisan character. and would
cost it the confidence Of farmers at the West.
Possibly these arguments might have had some
weight, if submitted to the real masters of the
Alliance, who pull the wires at Washington.
But they had no weight at Ocals. The ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
of America do most soIemnly protest against the
passage OF" the bill to secure honest elections,
and petition Senators to employ all fair and
legitimate means to defeat this unpatriotic
measure, which can result in nothing but evil
to our common and beloved country"
After this the aforesaid Alliance can hardly
expect tc be considered anything but an Assist
ant Democracy. 1t deceived some farmers in
Western States with the notion that they were
to create a new party of their own, wiping out
both the Democratic and the Republican par
ties. This notion was fostered long enough to
divert the votes OF thousands of Republican
farmers, while Democratic farmers adhered to
their party sufficiently to win a signal victory
and to secure complete control of the next Con-
gress. Next, the Republican farmers are told
that the new party movement must be kept
under matches a little longer, that it will not do
to expose it to daylight too soon, and that
the thing to be done is to draw a great many
more Republicans into Che scheme before ask
ing Democratic farmers also to cut loose from
their party. IL there are found dupes enough
the new party will be launched late to do .
harm to the Democratic prospects in Southern
StaDs, where news gets around slowly, but
early enough to divert the votes of Western
Republicans, throwing the Presidential election
into the House. As the next House is over

vbelmingly Democratic, thanks to the Assistant
democracy. the Democratic candidate fr the
p,o.;Jency can there be elected, and the AIR
apcc will then have finished its functions.
Tbese were ingenious schemes. But the
s.,,,;. ;u,,tiepce of Democratic Senator'S to
retain undisturbed their power OF carrying cleo
,;ors bx fra,,d. and the consequent adoption OF
ruroiv n.rtisau resolution by the National
Alliance. will help the less creduious adherents
IF the organization 10 sec what II really means.
Whatever its original purpose may nave been'
this so-calIed farmers organization mas come
m be under the entire control OF n few Dem
ocratic Senators at Washington. Any body OF
honest INDEPENDENTS. looking orward to a
struggle for their principles against the two old
~narties. would feel the absolute necessity OF
securing free and fair elections IN all the states.
Ey-Conpressman Weaver, OF Iowa, and some
of his associates. bore testimony how the Green
hack marty was stamped out at the South by
Democratic frauds. Neither the Farmers ALI
ance nor any other Independent party has the
slightest chance Of carrying Southern States
against the Democratic party unless an Elec-
tion bill has first been passed. So the Iabor
organizations of Northern cities must he ava
how Democratic machinery has defeated hon
est elections there. The supporters of Mr..
George. for example, have openly asserted that
his independent movement in this city was
crushed by fraud. Would any delegates truly
representing labor organizations " solemnly pro-
test against a bill to secure free and fair cleo
tions? American voters are decidedly too prac-
tical and shrewd to be deceived very long after
such a disclosure.

HEROISM

Mr.. Stanley's formal argument against his
traducers is interesting but superfiuous. The
case has already been decided in his favor
wherever the revolving facts in relation TO
the conduct of the rear-guard have been pub
lished. He was most magnanimous in conceal
ing the information in his possession when he
wrote his book and his critics have been guilty
of wanton folly in assailing him when he had
been travelling for months with Mr.. Bonny
and had ample resources at his command for
repelling their attacks. MIR. SANKEY'S reputa-
ton has been completely vindicated against
aspersions from the infatuated friends of Bart
telot and jameson. lie has summed up the
case clearly and without displaying resent
ment; and the verdict of public opinion in
England and America will be for and not
against him. The only thing that can be said
in criticism OF his conduct of the expedition
is his unfortunate selection of the officers of
the rear-gnard. Whether the two inhuman
men, who disgraced English civilization, were
forced upon him by interested friends, or were
deliberately picked out for the work, the re-
sponsibility for the choice is one which cannot
be shifted. The case against Mr.. Stanley il
reduced TO this single error o. Judgment.
Public interest in the Relief Expedition has
languished since Barttelot's insane brutality
and Jameson's a~trocious bargaining and cold
blOoded sketchlng were revealed. The ey-
plorer cannot be held responsible for the hor-
rors of iambuya, but his own achievements
will be clouded henceforth by baleful memories
OF the staggering despot of the rear-guard
and of the entertainment furnished by can.
nibals at the cost of a few cotton handker-
chiefs. The misconduct of the rear-gu,a;d dc.
tracts from the general repufe of the expedi.
ton, and will prejudice the public permanently

a oainst similar campaigns of adventure. The
more closely that the record OF the relief party
ia scrutinized the more inadequate and beg
carIy seems the return for the sacrifices, suffer
;nrs and labors. The Egyptians rescued were
not worth man for man the Zanzibaris who
rerishcd on the march. Emin himself II
captured by the Mahdists would have been ran
s,med by the English at Suakim, and probably
would have been better satisfied with the turn
of affairs than he is to-day. The only CON-
oensation for the terrible cost in human life
which the expedition involved was the display
of heroic qualities by Mr.. Stanley and his asso-
ciatcs. This compensation loses much OF its
value by the horrible disclosures of the bar
barities of the officers of the rear-guard.
Heroism has been heavily discounted.

Mains that it is for him " because his candidacy

because Of the large number Of fatal accidents

inevitably be followed by an inquest. but in
