to Ponder.
Following the meeting of the Su-
preme Court of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, at ST. Louis, last
December, the Kansas farmers Joined
with the Knights of Labor and State
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association in
adopting union platform, upon which
the members of the several organiza-
tions could stand ande work together
tremendously for each others interest.
This combination has resulted in the
establishment of agents at Kansas City
and interior points, for the handling Of
grain and the opening of stores in vari-
GUS localities for furnishing implements
and merchandise of all kinds to the farm
ers at first cost. About twenty of these
general stores have been established in
Kansas. A committee comprised of
members of the three organizations in
Kansas was appointed to look after the
interests Of the farmers and laboring
classes in this State. The committee
has just made report recommending to
several orders an earnest CO operation
in all business matters, urging the
adoption of the Australian system Of
voting and the Crawford County system
of primaries; asking the adjustment Of
official salaries to correspond with the
existing financial condition and the
wages paid to other forms of labor. The
State Government is advised by resolu-
ton of certain principles of the union
of the different orders as follows:
THAT we favor such legislation as
will make unsurious interest obtained
or sought to be obtained, directly or
indirectly, bar to Judgment in action
for recovery of both principal and in
terest; that We are unalterably OPP
posed to bonds in favor of railroads,
or any aid to corporations for any pur.
pose whatever; that all text books for
use in common schools should be com.
piled, printed and bound by the State,
and be furnished to pupils at cost; that
we recommend that active steps be
taken to adjust uniform minimum
prices on farm products Including
grain and live-stock), and that all the
agricultural States be requested to CO
operate with US in this mater"
The movers in this effort constitute {
large proportion of the voting popula
ton, as they embrace the membership
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, the Patrons of Husbandry
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
and the Knights of Labor Their &C
ton is being watched with close inter
est by politicians and business men.

A Warm Winter.

Among the many oddities Of this warm
winter we note the following:
Dandy lynn stories bloomed all over
the country long after Christmas.
Billiards. coming East wore straw hats
and busters.
Grass grew in the streets Of Philadel-
phia during all the winter months.
A warm feeling prevailed between B.
Harrison and Baby Mckee.
Spring-bottom pantaloons appeared
on the streets as early as January 1.
Homegrown strawberry ice-cream
could be had all through December and
January.
Flowers of sulphur bloomed in the
drug stores.
Spring chicken ripened every month
Of the winter.-Judge.

Dropped the Name But Not the Object


In New York State the members of
the Farmers Alliance have dropped the
name but not the objects of their organ
ization, and united with the Farmers
League. The following is taken from
the ''plan of work" of the New York
State League: Er
In New York, the special and i'm
mediate object of the Farmers League
is to secure an equal-tax law. so that
the personal property which now es-
capes taxation may bear its just proper
ton Of the public burden. The amount
of such property which escapes tax
alton is reliably placed at over six
billions of dollars This sum is equal
to more than two-thirds of the actual
amount of property that is taxed.
If this property was fairly taxed, the
farmers taxes would be reduced nearly
two-thirds. The New York State branch
of the Farmers League believes this is
the most crying evil that now affects
her agriculture, but that after it is re-
formed, or meanwhile, there are also
many other issues upon which united
action by farmers in their political par.
ties is needed"
The above shows that New York farm.
ers do not have any faith in the single.
tax theory. The exemption Of personal
property is long step toward single
tax. They have had fair trial Of this
halfway measure and are satisfied that
it is unfair. They are now moving away
from single tax, and not toward it,

That seems as If you'd ne'er get through,
Believe me that the wisest way
Is to begin the task to-day.
II you have o word unsaid
Spoken would make one comforted,
Go ind that one, and say It straight,
II is o word that can not wait.
II you can do kindly deed,
Can heal the sick or hungry feed,
Do not leave the deed undone
Until you see to-morrow's sun.
But angry word and selfish way
Are best put of another day.
And then another day again,
Postpone what gives another pain.
So keep the hasty speeches down,
And make n smile chase back the frown,
In silence let Ill temper lie,
For an eternal by and by.
