The Farmer in Politics.
New York Sunl

The political principles of he Farm CTS Alliance may Ge briefly described as a monstrous system of paternalism. The bill introduced by Senator Vance and providing for agricultural depos- itories OF ub-treaSuries, and the ad vancing of money by the Government to the depositors Is a Farmers Ali ance measure, and may serve as a specimen Of the abSuldities for which the leaders of that organizatiou ask. Will the Republicans and the Demo- crats bld for the support of these Hay seed Socialists ? That is 6 question which cannot be answered until the strength of the new movement can be gauged. Statistics which place the membership of the Alliance and its kindred federations in the millions, will not be accepted at present, There is much dissatisfaction among many of the farmers, especially in the South and the West, and they are disposed to make the experiment. of consolidat- ing their interests after the fashion which they Sd bitterly denounce in the ease of manufacturing and mercantile interests. As matter of business, their experiment Is interesting, if somewhat hazardous. But if they take 1t into their heads to act with solidarity in politics, there may be, in the next year or two, some ofthe live Hest and most surprising politics ever known in these United States. Wheth- CT the Republicans or inc Democrats would suffer the more from the over turning that would come, cannot be be foretolI. 1t present tbe whole tblng is in q nebulou, condition. II the reports are to be trusted, q big political movement, which is likely 10 result Tn some startling political changes, has begun. But are the re- ports true? We imagine that some of he Senators and Representatives from tue South and West are study ing thls question with profound at leuti0n.

An As:onlshed Ticket Agent.

The Honesdale (Pa) Dispatch re- lates that a few days ago neatly dressed, fresh-looking woman, about 30 years of age, applied to Harry Eos ter, the Erie ticket agent in that place, for information as to the lowest rate of fare for herself and family to War ren, Pa.
 "How many persons ? asked tue agent.
 Myself and my eleven children, she said.
 Eleven children Great Scott, madam Not all yours ?
 Certainly, sir replied the wopan evidently surprised at the agents question and manner. "Whose would they be if not mine ?'
 'In the name of goodness, then, how old are they ?" asked the agent.
 Well, sir," said the woman, after a short mental calculation, three of them are nine. three of them are seven, two of them are five, and three of them are three years old"

An ingenious clock is described by an exchange; Aside from being reg ular tlmepiece and daily calendar, it is also provided with a system of keys making a double circuit around the outside of the clock, the first one to denote the hour and minute, and the other the day of the month. The ob- ject is to furnish thereby Q regulator for business appointments. For in stance, if man had an appointment at 9:10 o'clock in the morning, he would turn the indicator to that time as well as another to Dec. 1. At the minute exactly that morning an alarm would be turned in, and would con- tinue to ring until stopped. The clock is tue first of its kind in Amer ica, and has been viewed with consid- erable interest by the jewelry trade.

Some idea of the importance of the Alaska traffic can be gathered from the fact that fully 1900 sailors from this port alone are required in man. ming the fleet. In consequence, dur ing the next month, there will be a considerable lessening of the oversup- ply of coasting sailors which always exists at this season of the year. No definite or accurate estimate of the value of the productions of Alaska has ever been made. It must amount to several millions of dollars annually. The sealing contract alone is estima- ted to bring the Government in $1, 100000, to which must be added the value of the inning, cannery, fur, fish and other lnterests.-S. F.

North Dakota having rejected the propositions Of tue Louisiana Lottery Company. should recelye prsctical comfort from all other States of the
 union. l. is 10 slight temptation
 which the men of this new State have resisted. Confronted by an empty treasury, 9 share of the territorial debt, the necessary expenses Of a State government, and the need of r.iief to a yeomanry suffering from drougbty seasons and bad baryests, the icgisla- tors oi North Dakota have declined yearly revenRe of $150,G00 and the gift o1-i00,0G0 Aushe4s of seed wheat from the great gambling firm. Many thousands of dollars also might have found their way into the pockets of the representatives and senators upon the passage of the bill. il is evidence of nigh civic virtue that these public. and prlyate brlbes have been refused and that the new State has preferred the incouveniences of honest penurv to the ease ef infamous prosperity. Men of such virtue will achieve pros perity by righted means.-Albuquer- que Citizen.

The latest engineering scheme Is a bridge from the Straits of Bcsphorus, by which direct railroad communlca- tion will be made between Europe and Asa. The plan comprises nothing less than the construction of a colos- sal bridge, SIP yards long, over the channel that flows between the shores of Europe and Asia. It is stated by the Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph that the French engineers who are thinking of undertaking the construction of the bridge would mako it with one arch only.

Congressman Vandeyer has intro- duced a bill in the House to establish the Yosemite National Park in Cali fornla. Congress granted the valley of the Yosemite, about 10000 acres, to the State of California. This bill doesn't interfere with this, but takes all the surrounding country, about 150,000 acres or more, and makes a national park. The idea is to pre- serve the blg redwood trees, for which California is noted. The present property is overrun by sheep-raisers, who harm and destroy the valuable timber.

The Memorial Services.

The memorial services were held at
the Presbyterian Church last Sunday
as per program published IN the HER-
AID last week. Quite a large number
Of the WOman's Relief Corps, the
Sons of Veterans, and old soldiers
marched in q body from the G. A II.
hall to the church where seats had
been reserved for them. The day
was a fine one and the house was
packed with people. The interior of
the church had been appropriately and
beautifully decorated and fitting mot
toes had been suspended from the
walls. After the singing, which was
led by Irwin Rodgers at the organ
and Oscar Strain on his B fat cornet,
the exercises were opened by Elder
j. 81. Decker, Post Chaplin, who read
from the scriptures the morning les
son. Next Rev. j, II. Fleisher in
vOked the Divine blessing IN an elO-
quent prayer. Rev. John Wilson,
Past Department Chaplin, delivered
the memorial sermon, based upon
the text, Render unto Gear the
the things that are GEARS, and unto
God the things that are Gods" The
address was good from beginning to
ending, and was full of patriotic SEN
timent, eloquent references to the
achievements Of the old soldiers, and
of good advice to the Sons of Veter-
ans and others. The speaker very
properly paid high tribute to the
Sanitary Commission, and to the
women generally. He read an ex-
ceedingly interesting letter which was
written on board a steamer near
Memphis in 1863, by a gentlemen at
the request of a soldier who had lost
an arm and was otherwise badly
wounded. The letter was addressed
to lady who had pinned a cheerful
and encouraging note to the sleeve of
a garment she had made and sent to
the front through the Sanitary Com
mission. AS the speaker finished
reading that tender communication
we noticed that the eyes moistened
and the lips quIvered of more than
one old veteran sitting near us.
! After the sermon Rev. TheO. Brack-
en- offered up a fervent invocation to
God, and prayed that the Nation
might enjoy as long as time lasts, the
blessings OF peace.
The benedictiOn was pronounced
by Rev. Fleisher.

A Social Event.

Notwithstanding the storm of last
Friday night, a large party assembled
in response to Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Leavitt's invitation to enjoy that pop
ular pastIme, progressive euchre.
Once comfortably ensCOnced in her
cosy parlOrs, Mrs. Leav;tt soon sue
ceeded in inaugurating the game and
making her guests OblivIOus to the
storm without. After a couple of
hours of friendly rivalry the stars
were counted and Mrs. Theo. Smith
was found to be justly entitled to the
ladies' first prize, while Mr. Mel
drum triumphantly bore off that of
gentlemen. Consideration for the
feelings of the contestants makes US
refrain from mentioning the names
of the three gentlemen who were
obliged to draw for the BOBBY, and
we will merely add that it was a
succession of poor partners alone
that entitled Mrs. COmparet to hers.
After the supper, which was the per-
lection Of culinary skill, an hour of
conversation and musical enjoyment
was INDUCED in, and another day
had daWned before good nights were
said and the host and hostess were
left to the pleasant reflection of hav-
ing provided a most delightful and
enjoyable entertainment.
