THE Farmers Alliance VI Kansas demands
thRtalI freight ears shall be equipped with auto
matte air brakes aud safety coupling appliances,
II Is difficult 10 see how this would relieve agri.
cultural depression and make mortgages easier
to bear; but II will probably be explained as the
canvass progresses, 81 L0ids Cube Democrat.
The Globe Democrat displays as
much ignorance Of the composition Of
the peoples party Of Kansas Ns it has
heretofore displayed of the economic
questions Of the day. For the infor-
mation OF this aristocratic metropoli-
tau journal we will state that the peo-
ples party is not composed solely Of
farmers. Neither ia it seeking legis-
lation in the interest of farmers alone.
The Globe Democrat has 80 long been
the exponent of party that has been
devoted exclusively to the interests Of
a favored class, that it can not con-
ceive how farmers can seek to pro-
mote any interests other than their
own. This is but one Of the remin-
ders that may be gathered from this
movement that the whole world is not
as selfish as the party that has con-
trolled the destinies Of this nation for
the last quarter Of a century.

The crowds are becoming 80 alarm

ster snake has been seen in the vicin-
ity of the Mississippi river marsh by
a number of draughtsmen employed
in the Illinois Central office. On
their word of honor they declared the
snake to be sixteen feet long. Sever

but made no impression on it. The
same snake was seen last summer,
and it is believed to be a python,
which escaped from a circus about

A Central American Resident.

A Central American Resident.
NEW YORK, July 30.-Dr. G.. w.
Book, a physician who has practiced
in Guatemala for the last two years,
arrived today on the steamship Aguan
from Central America. He had
much to say in regard to the causes of
the trouble among the Central Amer
lean states. The difficulty began, he
said, with the convention which ap-
proved the plan of union, but the
secret of the whole trouble is, l be-
lieve, the monarchy spirit of the rulers
of the states. Every one in power
uses his authority to make all
the money he can. A man without
property goes into Office in Guatemala
on $500 q month and In three or four
years is a millionaire. The families
who run Guatemala for their private
benefit, are the Aparisais, the Ar
guirres and the Finocas who
are all capitalists, and are all re.
lations of several of the present
ministers. Another eason may be
the Nicaragua canal. Nicaragua
thinks she has a good thing in the
canal and dislikes to sacrifice any
part OF it to o hers as would be neces-
sary in case of a union. Hon. will
hanson, of Honduras, was also a pas
senger on the Aguan. He regards
the Nicaragua canal as the cause of
the failure of the union plan. He ex-
poets, however, al agreement be-
tween the states and q cessation OF
all hostilities.
