EXACTLY how much of the election re- suit was due to the farmers alliance cannot be fully discerned. It is certain, however. that the organized farmer vote in many of the western states was con siderable power. Whatever it amounted to it was in opposition to the corrupt re- publican rule. As the secretary of the organization has said, "the farmers de- sired to rebuke the party in power for their reckless disregard of the peoples demands" In spirit and in purpose the alliance finds itself in sympathy with democracy in the fight against republi- can misrule and corruption. It is not to be doubted that it will find satisfactory answer to all reasonable demands in the great party of the people.

JUMPED AT CONCLUSIONS.

How a Doctor Lost NIfe's Condolences
 But Gained the Husband's.
 The sick man had sent for 8 doctor, much agarnst his will; but his wife had insisted on it. and so he gave way.
 The doctor came. and looked grave. He felt the patients pulse, inspected his tongue, listened to his heart and then sat down in silence to think awhile, looking oracularly wise through his spectacles.
 The first thing he said was: Do you use cigarettes?'' ......
 ''There!' exclaimed his wife, "I al- ways told you so, John Henry. Oh, why will you smoke those hurtful things! You see the harm they have done you is perceptible to the doctor at once. Oh, doctor, you will forbid him to use any more. will you not? I'm so glad we called you in."
 Well, you see, doctor," replied the patient somewhat rattled at this on- slaught of his wife, and ready to throw something at the doctors head, and just as ready to punch his own for allowing himself to be badgered into calling in a physician at all; 'I only use them spar ingly. A couple of boxes a day, at the outside, and I'm sure don't use nearly as much as I seem to do, for only half smoke them, taking a pull or two and then laying the cigarette down on my desk, and forgetting it, many times, till it is almost consumed"
 ''Oh, you smokers always have some way of deceiVing your friends, and even of binding yourselves to your own ex- cesses," broke in his wife. ''The doctor will know best, am sure. and you will not be foolish enough to go contrary to the advice of physician on that point am so glad we called you in. doctorr' l Nonsense, Jane," said the patient, rather sharply. 'How you do jump al conclusions. The doctor has not had q chance to say a word about my condi- tion yet You don't think, doctor, that have the tobacco heart, do you?'' he added, anxiously.
 "No," said the doctor.
 There, Jane!' said the sick man, triumphantly.
 Tobacco heart, indeedr' replied the wife. You may not have gone so far as that yet There are plenty of lesser, but still serious, complaints that youI constant habit of smoking cigarettes has brought upon you; else why did the doctor at once ask if you used themf Why did you do so, doctor?"
 "Yes, why?" chimed in the patient anxiously.
 Well" replied the doctor, who had been smiling quietly behind his glasses all the time, watching the uncorking o this little family jar, 'I only asked be cause I smelt tobacco smoke in tho room, and wanted to borrow a cigarette for myself"
 ''Hurrah for iniquity!" howled th' sick man, in his glee, and he and tho doctor sat down, and talked and smoked and smoked and talked, for almost aI hour; while the chagrined wife made ul her mind that henceforth women doc tors should minister to that family,-N Y. Tribune.

MIR ARMOUR of Chi cago, has said that the Mckinley tariff will cost him $25O,- 900 year on the tin cans he uses. He is not the man we take him to be if he does not recover that s25O, ,OOo, either from the people who buy his beef or the people who sell him cattle. In fact, his wonderful success in business leads us to suspect that he will use the Mckinley bill to depress the price of beef on the hoof, and advance the price of beef in the can, while the man who raised the steer and the man who ate the meat are left to get such consolation as they can from the editorial page of the New York Tribune.

H. H. JOHNSTON, the explorer, who has been in Africa most of the time snice he left school, said in a lecture at Liver pool the other day, that men who go to Africa should not be younger than 2f nor older than 30. If they are middle sized and thin so much the better for them. They must abstain from alcohol, must be temperate in their eating also, and in general must lead very orderly lives if they hope to live there. He said a great many men who go to the Dark Continent indulge in all manner of ex- cesses, which they would not be guilty of at home, and then when they are stricken down they solemnly ask what can be expected from such a beastly climate.

CUSHING WHIPPED.
Knocked Out by the Paterson Lad in the
 Nineteenth Round.

Nineteenth Round.
 NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The sportingmen from this city who witnessed the glove fight for $1 ,O00 side between Austin Gibbons of Paterson, N. J., and Mike Cushing of Williamsburg, N. Y. near Providence, R. l., say there was very lit tie sharp work throughout the fight there being several rounds in which no blow was struck. What fighting there was, however, was generally forced by Cushing, who had an advantage in two rounds which he failed to follow up.
 The nineteenth and last round lasted scarcely a minute. The men came together but Gibbons rather forced the fighting, following Cushing up. After a little sparing he led with his left on a feint and swinging his right for the third time in the fight he landed on the already swollen cheek of his opponent.
 Cushing dropped his hands, staggered across the ring and dropped on his side to the floor. He seemed to try and save himself, but his shoulders fell over and he stiffened out apparently unconscious.
 The referee slowly counted the seconds, his friends called to him to get up, there was a convulsive shiver of his frame and he seemed to struggle to arise but could not lift his head.
 The time was up and his seconds raised him from the floor, while a shout went up from Gibbons friends.
 The fight occupied just one hour and thirteen minutes.
 | the only mark on Cushing was the big punch on his left cheek which had split open and was bleeding. He took his de- feat to heart when he rallied but was still | dazed when the witnesses left him to the | care of his seconds.

A Curious Story of the French Type Sug-
 gestlng RypnOtlsm.
 The strange circumstances of the murder of MT. Foster, the colliery pro- prietor at Rainford, near St Helens, England, are related in the confession of the woman Mary Jane Pickavance.
 What the woman Pickavance says Is that on Sunday, July 6. her husband threatened to kill her if she refused to go to Rainford and shoot MT. Foster, in whose service she had been as 8 do- mestic servant before their marriage in March last
 This extraordinary narrative then continues as follows: ''I said would. My husband has been jealous of him ever since we were married. We wenb together to Rainford. went to MT. Fosters house, but MT. Foster was not in, and then we waited till morning Then we met him by Rainford Juno tion, and my husband fired first, and then he made me fire after. We took the revolvers with us. We had each one. My husband fired five or six times. only fired once. fired the last shot"
 What Is known for certain is that about nine o'clock on Monday morning MT. Foster left the railway station to proceed to his residence. which is about half a mile distant on the high rode to St Helens, and that he was shot down, receiving several bullet wounds, from the effects of which he shortly afterward expired. One wound was in the right shoulder, others were in the left hand and left groin. That which, doubtless, proved almost instantly fatal was in the left temple, where the ball penetrated the brain-London Times.
