THE contest between Speaker
Reed and the Democrats has devel-
oped anew some peculiar phases Of
human nature and illustrates very
strikingly that weakness which
causes individuals to decide in then
own minds according as their own
interests may be involved, and that
too without any intention of parti-
atty. This is often done uncon-
sciously and without any desire OF
intention of being influenced or
biased by self or party interest. The
Republican party as a unit supports
Mr.. Reed, while the Democrats with
like unaminity denounce him as a
tyrant and usurper, and his methods
as revolutionary and unconstitution-
al. We believe that the majority
on both sides are honest in their
expressed opinions, but at the same
time it is very evident that party
prejudice has much to do with
shaping those opinions.

Suicide at Sharon Springs.

Last Saturday evening Perry Melan
der, prosperous and popular justice Of
the peace in this county, opened his cloth
ing, even to his shirt, placed Winchester
to his naked breast and by means of g
short stick pulled the trigger, blowing 6
hole through his heart. He was not IL
debt, did not dissipate, and no cause can
be assigned for the deed. He was about
40 years old, and had lived happily with
his wife for sixteen years. He leaves his
wife and little girl and wide circle o.
friends to mourn his sad death.-Tefekc

What is the Australian Ballot L?

The government prints on one
slip the names of all the candidates
and these tickets are given to the
voters by a person appointed fol
that purpose. The voter, after re-
ceiving his ticket, takes it into {
compartment away from everybody
and there alone with his conscience
he prepares his ballot to suit him.
self, and no human being can tel
for whom he votes. Several state:
have already adopted this system. Il
has been in use in Australia fol
thirty years.

TALKING about woman suffrage,
it seems to us if there is one thing
for which American women ought
to be devoutly grateful it is their
freedom from politics" The above
remark was made to us by Wa
Keeney lady short time ago, and
we have been bordering over it ever
since. There are so many unpleas-
ant, humiliating and we might say
degrading things connected with
politics that we sometimes feel that
our boosted privilege is dearly
bought. The term politics" as
used in these latter days, is almost
synonymous with trickery and chi
canery. We are not surprised that
some of our best women have no
taste for politics.

Mrs. Tracv,s' Heroic Devotion.

The policeman who was the first'to en-
ter the burning building told the Stars
correspondent that when he entered the
secretary's bed chamber on the floor be
found Mr.. Tracy on the third floor and
his wife by his side. both unconscious.
Clutched tightly in one of Mrs. Tracy's
hands was a piece of the secretary's
night-robe. 1t was apparent that the
heroic woman had been overcome in a
vain effort to drag her husband to the
window after he had lost consciousness.
Mrs. Tracy died from the bursting Of a
bIood-vessel, and it is evident that it was
brought on in frantic efforts to save her
husband. From what is known of the
fire and its progress, Mrs. Tracy could
have saved herself had she been willing
to desert her husband.-K. c. Star.

FROM our exchanges we learn
that nearly all our neighboring cit
les have organized and are carrying
on successful literary societies. We
have frequently spoken of the adj
visibility of a similar organization
in Wa-Keeney, but have met with
neither encouragement nor response
of any kind. How much better a
good literary society would be than
loafng about the streets and stores,
and for the younger members of So
ciety its influence and its advantages
would be almost incalculable.

WE are frequently asked what
we think of the Alliance. We can
hardly give an intelligent answer
for the reason that we know so
little about its purposes. As we
have said in these columns before, if
it will have a tendency to do away
with trusts and lessen the price of
articles used by farmers and the
community generally; if it will re-
duce the cost of transportation and
thereby enable the farmer to get
better prices for his produce and
stock, we are certainly in favor of
the Alliance. "When bad men con-
spire good men must combine, "
and when capitalists and corpora
tions combine and form trusts the
farmer and laboring man must, for
self protection, unite their forces.
If the Alliance will avoid the rock
upon which the Grange was dashed
to pieces, and not allow their or
CARNATIONS to be controlled either
directly or indirectly by designing
politicians, they will accomplish a
great deal of good for themselves.

poublY BereaYed.

Mrs. Alice Coppinger, eldest
daughter of Secretary Blaine, died
February 2, from an attack of brain
fever, the result of la grippe. This
bereavement, following so closely
the death of the secretary's son, will
be doubly hard to bear.

THE railroad men say that ex-
perience has taught them that the
transportation charges cut no figure
in the price of grain to farmers, the
boards of trade absorbing any re-
duction in their reduced prices. If
this is fact it is certainly a most
Iamentable one, and it seems that
there is only one thing to do, and
that is to legislate boards OF trade
out of existence. Make it crimi-
nal offence to maintain board OF
trade for the purpose of dealing in
grain or farm products of any kind.
It would be safe to abolish them on
general principles. Boards of trade,
as conducted are no more nor less
than gambling institutions under a
polite name. This would be good
subject for the Alliance. At the
same time we are inclined to think
that reduction in the price OF
transportation would mean an adj
vance in the price of produce.
Boards of trade can and doubtless
do control prices for future delivery,
but cash prices are regulated very
largely by the law of supply and
demand and the price of transPor-
tation.

The house of Benjamin F. Tracy,
secretary of the navy, was burned
February 8. Mrs. Tracy, Mary
Tracy their daughter, and a French
maid, met their death by suffocation.
Secretary Tracy was rescued in an
unconscious condition. After a
partial recovery President Harrison
broke the news of the death of Mrs.
Tracy and daughter Mary. Secre-
tary Tracy asked the president where
Mrs. Tracy was. The president did
not answer. Mr.. Tracy asked, ''Is
she dead?" The president could
not answer, and Mr.. Tracy, realizing
the truth, tainted and remained I'M
conscious for half an hour. Recov-
ering, he asked for his daughters,
and was told that his daughter
Mary was dead, when he again
tainted. 1t seems that Mrs. Tracy
might have saved herself if she had
been willing to desert her husband,
who became unconscious first.

Democrats concerning the rule en-
forced by Mr.. Reed is that it lacks
precedent; that the precedent estab-
lished in the house of representa-
tives for a hundred years is entirely
at variance with his methods. 1t
seems to us that this is no argument
at al. This is not a question of
precedent but question of right

A Novel Emigrant Outfit.

There was novel sight at the Air Line
depot Sunday. The freight train which
was side.tracked in the yard during the
day was visited by numbers of people.
One of the cars contained an old lady
who wss travelling from West Point,
Mississippi, to fredericksburg, Maryland,
with q general collection of domestic
animals and house hold furniture. She
was interviewed by Chronicle reporter,
and found to be a very intelligent En-.
glish lady. Her properly consisted OF a
horse, three COWS and two calves, turkeys,
geese, 125 chickens, two canary birds, and
q lot of furniture. She said that she had
everything along needed in an English
lady's home. She said that she had been
living in Mississippi for two years, being
driven away by the chills. Her husband,
she eaid, is very old man and afflicted
with rheumatism, had gone on ahead in
passenger car. She said that they had
left large farm in mississippi but had
purchased q house at fredericksburg, and
that they would have nothing to do but
unload when they reached their destina'
ton. She gave as her reason for under
taking the trip, thai no one could be
secured who would look after her stock
and poultry as carefully as herself. She
said that she MIXED her COWS every day
and fed and watered all her pets. Seven
days will be required to make the trip.
and she said that when she arrives, she
will SO completely cover the new $50 acre
farm with stock and poultry that the old
man will not have room for garden
