the temperance work in England, and
frequently called upon by the leaders
there for financial as well as platform

The delegates who met at Norristown,
Pa, to form farmers league. passed
this among o;her resolutions: Resolved
That this union will demand equaliza-
ton of taxation of the next state legislat-
ure; that we should not be compelled to
pay tax on such portions of our property
already covered by mortgage, and that
we should not pay county, school and
road taxes levied against our farms,
whilst corporations, stock and moneys at
interest pay only state tax.

He was very, very pious,
But he thought the sky would fall
If the Prohibition party
Should come in ahead next fall.
An old party man his father was,
And SO he'd always vote,
And you couldn't argue legal
Prohibition down his throat.
In this well defined position
He was strong and very clear,
But it struck us that his reason
For this view was rather queer
he remarked, as If it really
Were q cause for deep regret,
That the Lord was not quite ready
For this great reform. as yet.
Where he got his information
We do not pretend to know,
But he says the Lords not ready,
And we s'pose it must be so;
Still we never thought Jehovah
Was particular about
Any order of reforming
If it's only carried out.
And we think that any fellow
Who relates, with long drawn face,
What the Lords specific plans are,
Is IL little off his base.
Fo what people don't discover
eve will just observe to YOU'D,
OF the Lords own private business
Is good deal more'n they do.
1t is proper to consider
And in reason t. expect
That he favors any movement
That is aiming to correct
Any sin, or vice, or error
In whatever time or place;
To uplift mans moral standard
And to benefit the race.
Now there isn't any weapon
That the imps of darkness ne
That attacks frail human nature
With as great effect as booze;
And the Lord would be us likely
To assist the cause sublime,
To suppress the stuff, at present
AS at any other time.

The above is fair estimate of the cost
of raising an acre of corn in Cass county,
and the yield given is "a good one. In
order to come out without any loss the
expense must be reduced S2.S5 per acre.
and it cannot be done. But on that same
corn on which the farmer loses in unrec-
ompensed labor nearly five cents per
bushel, the railroad makes net gain of
Al cents per bushel.
Now you know who owns the farm.
The railroad owns it. and owns it by vir-
tue of the laws the people have made
and the laws the people have neglected
to make. Without any investment, with
out any taxes, repairs, insurance, with
out any bother of any sort from nominal
ownership, the roads take net income
of S2.75 to $3.50 per acre on every fifty
bushels of corn shipped over their lines.
This is what Stanford called The essence
of ownership" and he knew what he
was talking about.-Farmers' Alliance.

Does Prohibit.
A small but enthusiastic bunch of
Prohibitionists journeyed to the capital
of Kansas last week to proclaim the
glories of statutory sobriety, which eS-
listed only in their imagination. They
trimmed the whisl1ers of that venerable
fiction, Prohibition prohibits" while
within stones throw of the meeting
place was a throng of thirsty residents
rushing about with original packages.
For the first time in five years liquor
was sold openly in the city. and in less
than eight hours the supply was ex-
hausted. without apparently diminish
ing the demand. Omaha Bee.

-HE woRKlNeMANs COLLEGE.


w. r. Crafts Gives Good Reasons for the
Rest Day.
Four times seven is twenty-eight, that
is, one-seventh Of the. days in twenty
eight years is four years. college
course. He who has missed liberal
education" in the schools may make up
for it by well spent Sabbaths, in one
third of well rounded life, and still
have left in his remaining years enough
Sabbath time for thought and self i'm
provement for two postgraduate courses
as long as the first.
The British-American Sabbath may,
therefore, be called the workingman's
college, without which the toiler would
not have time enough for the culture of
intelligence and of consciousness to
participate in government, but would
remain, like the perpetual infants of
continental despotisms, content to take
childish Sunday amusements as substi-
tutes for civil liberty.
If the Sabbath were not SO valuable
for the body and heart and soul, its edu-
cational value alone would vindicate its
high place in society. AS an educator it
is only second to the public schools, if
second at all. Certainly it is their best
supplement There are few men of fifty
six who have spent eight full years in
school, but every man of that age has
had eight years of Sabbaths. which have
afforded opportunity for manifold cul-
ture
Many of our most influential men had
little schooling, but have found I'M
conscious education in regular attend
ance at church, and in quiet reading and
conversation at home. He who spends
the Sabbath in pleasure exertions,'
spends it in the worst of company, with
ignorance and vice, from which he can
learn nothing good. He who gives the
day TO the church and the library has
noblest companions, and learns without
effort the rarest wisdom.
Even from an intellectual standpoint
the Bible contains the Oldest history. the
sublimest poetry, the noblest ethics, and
no man can be said to have good edu-
cation who is not familiar with that
book. which came into such lives as
Shakespeare's and Websters and Rus
kin's and Goethe's as the mightiest of in
tellectual influences. In a score OF ways
the Sabbath brings the influence OF this
book to bear on the lives of all men who
spend the Sabbath as the maker OF both
the Sabbath and man directed when he
made one for the other.
Where are the great men who at
tribute whatever is admired in their
literary style to their reading the gossip
of Sunday newspaper, as a substitute
for the gospel?
+ But even to those who neither give
nor receive direct religious instruction
Sabbath protected against both toll and
dissipation is an educator both in knowl-
edge AID consciousness that help
to protect the citizens against both the
sophistries and brides of the demagogue,
and so Sunday law is consistent with
liberty on the same grounds as more
direct laws of compulsory education. -

A Railroad Project.

It is announced that the Atchison
intends to run double daily vestibule
trains between Chicago and the Pa
cific Coast, reducing the time by
twenty-four hours. OF course in that
case the Union and Central will have
to'follow suit, and we shall be at least
in the edge Of. the railroad world.
When the "Golden Gate Special" was
run,from here to Omaha once week
the feat was heralded as one Of the
marvels of the age, and the effort was
soon found to be too much for the
endurance of the corporations that
undertook it. Yet similar trains are
run on Eastern roads every day, and
there is no reason why the transcon-
tinental passengers should not be as
we'll served. If the Atchison can
succeed in introducing modern meth
dds into the Pacific Coast service it
will be public Exam

A shabby, genteel sort Of man
knocked at the door Of small suburban
villa Tho one servant Of the estab-
lishment was out, 80 the mistress her
self opened the door.
'What do you want?'' she asked,
rather sharply, not much liking his APP
pearance.
The man looked at her, opened his
eyes wide as If struck with amazement,
and said: "'... ~.s
"Well, madam, 1 don't want any
thing. I see I've made q mistake.
Tho fact is, I've come to the wrong
house."
Then he murmured, but sufficiently
loud for the lady to hear:
"What complexion! Never saw
such lovely one in all my litel Tho
pink and white seem to melt into one
another. Beautiful! Beautiful If all
the ladies had such compilations,
might as we'll go into the workhouse at
oncew
The lady had listened to his eulogy
on her complexion with visible pleas
ure, and, noticing that the man had q
box under his arm, asked:
''Have you any thing to sell?"
"Well, madam, have, and haven't
at least, not to you; for y0u don't re-
quire what have to sell. So I'll say
good-day, madam, and must apologize
for troubling you"
"Wait minute. What is ityou have
to sell?" inquired the lady, her curios-
ity being aroused.
II have, madam repeat, it is no
good to you'll have, madam, a wonder
full wash for the complexion. It's called
the lilly and rose Blend and is prepared
from receipt nearly a hundred years
old, and was used with fascinating eff
feet by some of tho great beauties OF
France. But, good day, madam, won't
detain you any longer; as said before,
you don't require a complexion wash.
Art, madam, great as it is, can not COM
pete with nature"
He gave an intense glance Of admira-
ton at the lady, took off his hat, re-
treated two steps and then stopped to
fiddle with the clasp of his box.
''Is 1t really good for the complexion"
asked the lady.
Wonderful, madam, wonderful! But
as I said"
"How much is it bottle?" .
"One shilling, madam; or two bottles
for one and nine. But"
"Pm half inclined to try BOTTLE"
hesitated the lady.
''Of course, madam, If you feel char
itnbly disposed and would like to mako
o present of n bottle or two to some lady
friend who suffers from that great det-
riment to beauty, a bad complexion

the man, insinuatingly.

Said the lady to herself as she walked
indoors:
"What a well-spoken man-quite gen.
tlemanly. It's pity he can't get some
better employment than peddling."
Said the man to himself, as he walked
down the street, with boundless-prai-
ric-like smile on his face: "That

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
What Rev. Alex Walker Has to Say About
Tobacco.

What Rev. Alex Walker Has to Say About
Tobacco.
The receipts this week have been good,
failing some days to get through selling
at all the houses. Prices have been little
higher on filters and smokers Why it is
so, there has been no good reason as
signed. 1t is true there is good demand
for these grades, and the cutter men are
running their common cutters down and
take large per cent. of the better grades
of granulating and causes those grades to
go higher There are not so many fancy
prices paid for wrappers this year, but
the general average of the crop is run
ming higher in the market than it has
done for years, which goes to show that
the farmers, as body, are getting more
money for the crop than they have gotten
for years. And we'll they may, for it is
the best crop of tobacco they have pro-
duced for years. Yet we hear it some
times said this crop is not as good as was
expected. We can't say what some folks
expected, but we would like to know how
much better they could have had it or
how much better they have had crop
and when they had it. We pronounce it
a good crop, and to take it all round, it is
the best average crop we have had for
ten years. We have had some fine to-
bacco, but we have not had so much good
tobacco as we have in this crop for de-
cade, and we have a smaller per cent Of
very inferior tobacco in this crop than
we nearly ever saw in any crop. We are
speaking of the North Carolina crop, and
we here venture to say the farmers will
get more money for it when sold than
many farmers have ever realized.
Quite a number of tobacco men are
visiting our market and seem to be anx
ious to find out what the true character
of the 1890 crop is and for what purpose
it is best adapted.
While exporters seem TO be very de-
cided in their opinion that our prices are
too high for export, at the same time we
hear but little complaint from manufac-
turers What direction prices will take
we, of course, do not know, but we are
very decided in our convictions that
prices will remain good and very steady.
