THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.-Keep your
weather eye on that Farmers Alliance
It is getting to be powerful organization,
and if it continues to grew in the next
two years as it has grown during the
last two it will become a political factor
in the campaign of 1892.
1t represents tendency of the times
the tendency toward paternal govern
ment-which in our judgment is fraught
with boundless danger. The Alliance
must think lite more profoundly on
this subject. Its present position IS that of
a tyro in political economy. As it grows
older, howover,it will probably grow wiser,
and go become a. healthy, hearty, vigor-
Gus and inspiring element in our American
life.
The bottom fact is that the government
at Washington should be curtailed, not en-.
larged. A President is nothing more than
the peoples servant. Ii he is ever allowed
to become their master, you may as we'll
order tombstone, for our liberties will
languish and die.
The less government you have, the bet
ter off the people are; the moro you have,
the worse off are the people.
1t is the peoples business to run this
country, not the Presidents.
The Alliance folk must come round to
that b asis before they can stand firm.-N.

PENSION ExTRAvAaANCE.- Congressman
oayres, of Texas, who has been investiga-
ting the matter, has made the startling dis
covery that to keep down the deficiency to
the official estimates, the pension bureau is
withholding certificates for claims settled
and allowed under previous laws. The as
sumption is that sit is the settled policy of
the pension bureau to endeavOr to shift
upon the next democratic House the onus
of the enormous DEFICIENCIES that are sure to
come, and which ought to be borne by this
Congress" There are at this time one
million of claims before the pension bureau,
the greater part of which have not been
acted upon, and it is computed that the
pension roll under the different extensions
of the law is growing at the rate of from
twenty five to thirty million dallars year.
The Herald writer estimates that with the
half million of previous pension claims
unadjusted, aud new claims filed or coming
forward for filing under the cid law, the
actual amount of the pension roll will ulti-
mately reach one hundread and seventy
Milo dollars annually, without counting
in the dependent pension bill. In summing
up he says: 1.-The net result is that the
finance minister of the administration
which is to come into office in 1898, will
have to provide two hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars year for pensions. "-Balti

dow Girls Cheapsn themselves.

Girls do not know how much they
cheaper themselves in the eyes of all
men when they permit and indulge in a
familiarity of speech and manner.
Familiarity breeds contempt" is an old
saw that holds the concrete wisdom Of
more generations than our young people
have lived minutes, and, like all other
maxims based upon the facts of human
experience, it will be true until the race
of Adam is extinct. 1t is as easy to have
good manners as to have bad ones; but
TO have them they must be taught in the
nursery and used habitually at home.
The practice of habitual courtesy at
home viii make you courteous abroad,
and TO be esteemed well bred is certainly
worth all the trouble that can be taken
to acquire it.
