The president has sent a message to

appropriations amounting 10 $1.5T0.039

allowed. Any stock raiser in the country

the money. But perhaps the gentle say

One Of the demands of the Farmers
alliance is for the purchase and owner
ship Of railroads by the government. It
is claimed that they could be managed
by the government as economically as
the postal service. 'Thes Dream OF a
Railroad King" given in the Mining
journal, is worth perusal as bearing on
this subject. It is asked what would
be the result of a consolidation of all
roads under one management? One
answer is as follows: "The periodical
cutting OF rates would be done away
with; free passes, big commissions to
freight and ticket agents, expensive adj
yertising, etc, would disappear. Also
economy ip the actual cost OF transpor-
tation could be effected by sending all
freight by one route or which it could be
carried the cheapest. Ii a certain class
j freight could be carried by one road
from Chicago to New York for half cent
q ton-mile, while by another it would
cost only four4tenths OF a cent, it would
be carried by the latter" It is also
stated that while now the railroads pay
i've, six and seven per cent interest on
bonds, under d consolidated system,
money could be had at two and one
haHto three per cent.

The temperance people are again at
work in Ohio. A Non-Partison Resub-
mission league has been formed. The
following circular is issued by the league:
"To the Temperance People OF Ohio Of
All Political Parties: It is well known
that there is no aggressive temperance
work being done in our state except on
party lines and through Individual ef-
forts. With a view OF uniting the tenn
perance people without regard to party,
the above plan has been arranged, not
to supplant or to cripple, or to work in
the interests OF any party, but to bring
all the temperance workers and sympa-
thizers into a common labor for the re-
submission to a vote OF the people OF a
Constitutional Amendment prohibiting
the sale and manufacture ofintoxicating
liquors, except for medicinal and me-
chanical purposes. While the plan pro-
vides for aggressive work in the creation
OF Temperance sentiment and the sub
mission of the question to the people, it
also has in view the enforcement OF the
law should it be made q part OF our
State Constitution"

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.

From Maine to California, from Mime
sofa to Florida, the question is being
discussed, "What ails agriculture, and
what can we do for it?" Not alone agri-
cultural, but political, religious and fumi-
ly papers are discussing the question; and
ministers, lawyers and doctors are also at
it. Gentlemen, it is time to call a halt.
You course is demcralizing; you are dis
c%ouraging farmers! You must not admit
that anything is wrong; must not admit
that farmers are hard up, that they are
making no money. Your course is sui
ciaal. Give the farmers some more chlor-
oform of hope; assuage their aches by
liberal doses of nobility-and-granGeur-of-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.; apply lotions Of
'better methodist give them larger pills of
economy; smilingly tell them that long
