THE CENSUS FIGURES
An Explanation Of the Difference in

4 great many people have been won
dering why the census returns contained

ports daily. one to Superintendent Porter
at Washington aud another To supervisor

try system which. while II involved u
vast amount OF extra work. served as a
check upon any mistakes which were
likely to occur in thesupervisor' returns.

entiOn of the constitution.

The Kansas Advocate comes out
with some figures and statements
quite as startling as those presented
by us in this state last week. 1t rid
dies into shreds the statement made
by the party press that the number
of releases exceeded the new mort
cages. In fact this bold and earnest
Advocate filings the following defiance
in the face of these party minions who
are ready to lie for their caucus mas
tiers:
eve defy the Journal or any other
man to show any cancellation by
payment of mortgages by the mort
gagors!"
This is the condition of things in
Otter Tail county. Our correspon-
dent says that all the mortgages re-
leased in that county have been by a
loss of title to the land paid by
mortgages to hide the fatal destruc-
ton OF farms. This is a scheme be-
ing pursued throughout the coun-
try.
The baseness Of the party machine
is beyond a parallel in any political
history the world has known.

A writer to this paper describes
farmers who read the lying party Or
gans exclusively, and stand up for
the plutocratic machinery in pure ig-
norance and cussedness. Such men
are scattered all over the state-but
thank God they are thinning out.
Friday evening, at Eden Prairie,
one of these wisdom-jugs came to
the alliance meeting-and began by
coarse sneers to undermine the work
of organizing an alliance. He bag
gled at Mr.. Donnelly for a time-un-
til, seeing that he was spelling for a
war-dance, we opened up on his
township majesty amid the smiles
and plaudits of the honest men
around. After a short, sharp and
decisive campaign we went to the
hall, talked United States with more
force and elegance" than usual-and
organized an alliance of nearly twen-
ty members. The day when the old
cranks of the G. o. P. can bulldose
farmers has passed away-away
and the daisy blooms where the
ring-tail politician has snored his
last sneer.
