CLAY CRNTER TiBiesi The Kansas farmer Is
not complaining Of his mortgage and Is too wise
10 attribute II 10 existing tariff laws, le knows
that the reason his gralnand meat have lost their
purchasing power IL because giant combinations
for controlling the markets haye been enabled to
build up and strengthen themselves without let
or hlndrance during four years Of democratic
administration. II has beon studied demo
cratic conspiracy 10 cheaper everything 10 the
end, that the people may be forced TO absorb
false teachings and turn for relief once more TO
the musty traditions Oi that party What the
Kansas farmer wants Is some vigorous Legislation
for the obstruction Of trusts and combines, affair
competition In the markets, fair rates Of trans
portatlon based ON the actual capital required TO
build and equip railroads, and less lip from tariff
cnnlSs. II the world win pay us for our products,
we viii take care Of the mortgages
Will the Clay Center Times be kind
enough to tell us what the republican
party has been doing for "the obstruc-
tion Of trusts and combines" previous
to the advent Of the four years OF
democratic rule, and what is it doing
now? We have failed to observe any
very remarkable activity Of tho pres
ent administration, or the present
congress to inaugurate any measure
of relief for the people. AS matter
Of fact also, we desire to ask il the
very policy that is directly responsible
for the present deplorOble condition
Of the country, did not have It's origin
and derive its chief support original
ly from the republican party2 We
do not now refer TO the tariff but to
the national banking system, to the
credit strengthening act ESQ called), to
the demonstration Of silver, and to
the contraction of the currency.
What the farmer really does want
is to see editors Of newspapers have
sense enough to discern where the re-
sponsibility for these things really
belongs, and honesty and back bone
enough to speak the truth about it,
regardless of what party may be
criminated thereby

sub-Allinncos and County Alliances
in all parts Of the State are ratifyinB
the demands agreed upon by the Sp-
prone Council at 81. Louis, on Dec,
9th. This is being done as a rule
without modification or change, OK
cept by the addition of other demands
in reg0rd 10 state or local affairs.
This is precisely the thing to do.
Those men who assembled at that
great meeting were representative
men Of the Order. They were rein
forced and supported in their work,
by representatives Of other great la
Dor organizations. All agreed upon
the seven demands. These are tho
foundationsupon which wemustbuild.
As one speaker dt the Kansas CITY
conference expressed it, "tho 81. Louis
convention hasmacadamized the road,
and all we have TO do is 10 keep in the
center Of tho track and no straight
ahead" There should be no slds
tracks on the line. Every state, coun-
ty and Sub-Alliance should tatifS
these seven demands without change.
These are kept standing in every
issue of the ADVOCATE under the title
of "0ur Platform" If Alliances that
adopt these, will in making theif re-
port, simply state that they ratified
the seven demands OF the SO. Louis
Supreme Council, and then add such
other resolution as they may from
time to time adopt, they will simplify
our work very much and thereby con
fer a favor. We desire 10 accommo-

He Washed the Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion tanner, was
at Moscow with his menagerie, he
had occasion to employ moujik, a
fine specimen of a Cossack, to clean
out the cages OF the wild beasts. The
Cossack did not understand a word
of French, and the terms Of the con-
tract were settled in dumb show.
BY way of instructing him in his
new duties, Pezon went through u
sort of pnntomine with the broom,
sponge and water bucket.
The moujik watched him closely,
and appeared fully to understand
the details of the lesson given. Next
morning, armed with u broom, a
bucket AMI n sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to, and quietly
stepped in as he had seen his master
step, on the previous day, into two
cages of harmless brutes; but this
one happened to be tenanted by u
splendid but untamed tiger, that lay
stretched on the floor asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised
it's head, and turned it's green eyes
full on the man, who, all unconscious
of his danger, stood in corner Dip
ping his big sponge into the bucket.
At that moment Pezon came out
Of his caravan, and was struck dumb
by the terrible sight that met his
gaze. What could he do to warn the
man OF his danger? A sound, u
movement on his part might enrage
the great beast, and hasten its at
tack on the defenseless Cossack. So
Pezon stood. awaiting developments,
ready to rush to the scene when the
crisis came.
The moujik. sponge in hand, cool
ly approached the tiger, and made
ready to rub him down with the
stolidity Of a military bootblack
polishing his captains boots.
The sudden application OF cold
water to it's hide evidently produced
a very agreeable effect on the tiger
for it began to purr, stretched out
it's paws, rolled over on it's back, and
complacently offered every part Of
it's body to the vigorous treatment
of the moujik, who went on scrub.
bing with might and main.
All the while Pezon stood there
with his eyes wide open, and as il
nailed to the spot.
When he had finished his job, the
Cossack left the cage as quietly at
he had entered it. and it required
the most energetic and expressive
gestures on the part OF the lion
tanner to prevent his repeating thu
