Farmers, knights and Laborers
have combined their forces. They
have united under the banner of re-
form to battle for their rights as eiti-
zens OF a free country, which they are
denied in the name of Constitution
framed to protect them in the exer-
else OF their rights The principal OBJ
ject OF the union is the promotion of
legislation against trusts and corporate
power generally. The combiAed or
CARNATIONS will be known as "The
National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union" The total member
ship Of the new union is 100000
and negotiations are pending 10 IN
crease the number to 100000 by
amalgamation with other powerful or
carnations. Three million voters
united in purpose suggests tremendi-
ous possibilities, and one of the Prob
abilities is the downfall of trusts, in
the direction OF which the political
end OF the combination is pointed.

The Chicago News regards il rs
significant of the delicacy Of .meri-
can humor that the .siost popular
comic song Of the day tells of a man
falling from the fifth story, break
ing all his bones and barely eseap-
ing with his life; of his falling into
coal-hole and being nearly
smothered to death by load of
coal; of his being sent to prison; Of
his return home to find that his
wife had eloped, thus wreck
ing his home, and ut last in dispair,
the man commits suicide by drown
ing. Funny, isn't it? High state
of civilization, isn't it, where people
find their greatest joy in laughing
at the miseries Of others? 1t is re.
corded that Livingston's men burst
into shouts Of laughter at seeing one
of their companions devoured by
lion. Those were naked savages,
the very lowest of the race. How
much higher in grade are those who
laugh at McGinty's misfortunes?
The society reporter Of the Carson
Appeal. writing Of the marriage of
Nellie NJ. Winters and John NJ
Gregory Of San Francisco. recently
at Franktown, says: They are a
family Of sturdy. practical people.
Winters daughters are like his
horses-all thoroughbreds TO the
manner born, and built for speed
and staying qualities.

THE WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY JANUARY 1890

We at length arrived at Aiken's Landing, on
the James River, at about o clock p. m. One Of
our boys of Co. g, 9Th Iowa, Bort Stage mostex-
cellent soldier, had prayed very earnestly that
he might be permitted 30 live SO that he might
die beneath the gloriousStars and Stripes This
boy was very much reduced, and was only able
to got through by being constantly helped by
two of his comrades Walking by his side. But
God took him to himself few hours after
arriving at Annapolis, Md.
shall never forget tho sight which met our
vision when we arrived at Aken's Landing
where the flag of trucetboat was lying ready to
receive us, and the boys in blue appeared upon
her decks beneath the glorious flag Of our coun-
try, for which we were enduring and dying
We were, after the signing Of papers by the Off
GERS IN command permitted to enter the cabin
OF tho vessel, and each one after getting safely
aboard dropped down exhausted IL was in
deed, happy hour to DO freed from the land
that had bound us during those seven months
OF prison life. The song Home Again was
sung, and our thoughts went out toward home,
loved ones. and freedom.
We sailed down the river and through tho
chesapeake Bay TO Annapolis, and were march
cd through the streets of that city and looked
upon by hundreds of its citizens who were
gathered along the way, and many were the
expressions of pity and sympathy, due to our
terrible appearance occasioned by'our long con-
condition. At length we arrived Mt and were
quartered in Camp Sangster 1t has always been
wonder to me to know why we were allowed
to remain there for over two weeks without a
tent, blanket, or anything to make us comrorta-
bic. We were compelled to dig holes in the
ground and cover them over with brush, thus
atlording us place of shelter This neglect on
the part of our own folks, we thought, was
rather hard but thanks to Senator Harlan Il
think, of Iowa, who, on hearing there were
several hundred Iowa paroled prisoners Mt An
napolis, came down to see us, and we were soon
thereafter provided with everything needed.
Even 10.months' pay was given us, and then
were we not fXed2
Shortly afterward we were sent TO st. Lonis,
Mo-, whore we remained a few DAYS, and not
being exchanged, and the prospects were that
1t would be some time before We would be,
many of the boys took French furoughs. and
went home and enjoyed the pleasure of meet
ing friends and loved ones once more around
the Preside. At length We were exchanged,
and were ordered to report for reorganization
Mt st. Louis, which was promptly obeyed and
we were once more ordered to tho front.-D. NJ.
