An industrial Party.

The Farmers Alliance. while non-paf-
tisan, is political body. This fact it 10
necessary to understand fully at this
juncture Of affairs, when members Of
the Alliance and members Of other in
dustrial orders propose to form new ma
tional party. It is probable that the AL
lance as such will not take a hand in
the movement. 1t is easy for the party
to be formed and enter the field in 1899
or earlier without complicating with
itself any nom partisan body whatever.
at the same time that it shall have the
support of many members of the indus
trial societies in the United States. The
new departure. originated apparently
with the Kansas delegates at the Ocala
convention and certain of the labor
leaders.
The history of the United States is
full of attempts to establish national
parties to effect particular purposes.
Most of these have been dead failures
A few have achieved results by indirec-
ton. Others have, like the Republican
party Of our day, sprung from one
idead, devoted. forlorn hope party that
clustered around it as y nucleus the
ruins Of one or. more great political
parties and discontinued elements of 9TH
era. So may it be in this case. The
farmers and laboring men have q set Of
ideas that are held by individuals in po-
litical society at large II these ideas
are properly reduced in the crucible the
great political party Of the immediate
future may result, or, which is not i'm
probable. the new party, II not mere
fash in the pan, may influence both the
old parties, and impress itself thus on
the legislation of the future, without de-
stroying either Of the great existing or

The Coming Crisis.

The Arena, under the above caption,
says that we are rapidly nearing one
of those great crisis which ever mark
the recognition and acceptation of a
vital truth, and which distinctively
indicates the upward trend of civiliza-
ton. What then is our duty? To
agitste; to compel men to think /; 20
point out wrongs inflicted on the
helpless /; to impress higher ideals on
the plastic>mind Of childhood to la
Dor at all times and IN all places for
the triumph Of that which is pure and
noble, unselfish and humane to slim
ulate a love for truth, liberty and
justice; to encourage learning, but
frown upon bigotrX; to demand the
broadcast possible liberty compatible
with public safety; to infringe on the
rights of no man; and impress upon
Others, by life as well as teaching. the
supreme loneliness of the spirit of toll
Grafton. These arc duties that devolve
on every one who catches the spirit OF
the hour and would help the world
onward. We may labor in different
fields, we may entertain views that
are widely unlike, our paths may not
lie side by side, yet if these aims, mo-
tives and impulses guide and govern
us, each will contribute his or her
quota to the contamination of new
L1iumPh for humanity, a prophecy of
which may even now be seen purpling
the East.

John Davis, who was elected to con-
gress by the Peoples party Of Kansas,
says that the call for conference to
form new party was signed by large
number of the delegates to the Farmers
Alliance convention at Ocala The con-
vention is to be held in Cincinnati on
Feb. 20, 1891. The call contains the st.
Louis platform Of the Alliance. When
asked if it contained any thing besides
Of importance Mr.. Davis said:
"Yes. it lays down four propositions
with reference to national reforms, viz:
Finance. transportation. land and labor.
Further than this. the contents of the call
are not for public announcement as yet
The call will be circulated for signatures
in thirty-six Alliance states, perhaps in
all the states of the Union. There was
disposition to take the call before the
national alliance. bat and others dis
couraged it as step which would
doubtless result in giving the movement
a dlstinctively Alliance character. and
we do not wish to so construe it. The
convention will undoubtedly be largely
attended, and will result in placing q
presidential ticket in the field in 1892.
After securing several hundred sigma
lures in Kansas we will publish the call
and thus start the movement"

Agitation.

Agitation brings about great re-
forms. Agitation should be the
watchwOrd Of all who favor reforms.
Reformers of years ago stood on the
highways and byways, on the plat
form and on the stump, and voiced
the wrongs they were attempting to
right, with an energy, a vigor and e.
oquence that has rareiy failed Of its
object. 1t was the prime motto Of
the matchless Patrick Henry before
the house of burgesses, when present.
ing the wrongs done the American
colonies by Great Britain. Let Us
learn a lesson from this true patriot
and brave advocate Of the people. II
we would secure relief to the Oppress-
ed workingmen and farmers of the
nation, we must keep the facts of
their wrongs before the people. In a
word, we must agitate. The public
interests are at stake, and the public
voice must be heard.-Dayton York

Lay Judges.

The Farmers Alliance people Of Kan
sas having elected man to be Judge
who is not o lawyer. the fact is treated
in many newspapers AZ grotesque blum
der. But is it? The thing is neither
new nor absurd. Neither reason nor
experience suggests that technical ia
miliarity with the law is a necessary
equipment for the successful administra-
ton of justice.
On the contrary, when men really de-
sire justice and not technical advantage.
they are apt to resort to arbitration
rather than the law courts and to choose
men not lawyers for arbitrator. So far
as the general principles Of law are con.
cerned every intelligent citizen is ia.
miliar with them. Indeed, the law it.
self exacts that every citizen shall know
the law. and it will not excuse any vio-
lation of it upon the plea Of ignorance.

Praise from Col. Shepard.

The sessions Of tho National Alliance
have settled some questions, however
imperfectly, but others remain to disturb
and divide them. 1t is highly creditable
to the Alliance that without delay or
debate or division it agreed to petition
the managers Of the Chicago fair not to
desecrate the Sabbath by opening the
exhibition on the first day Of the week
