The German Empress Frederick loves
little children. She never fails to no.
tice every one she sees, and will often
stop in her walks and speak to them.
Even grubbiness will not deter her from
taking particularly fine baby in her
arms, though, of course, she prefers
them clean. In return, children, who
always know their friends by instinct,
are attracted to the Empress, and the
following little incident, which &C.
Cured lately, illustrates this: A gen.
tleman who passed daily between three
and four O'Clock along the road that
leads from Berlin to Charlottenburg
noticed little girl always standing
at the corner of the Hardenburg Strasse,
and at last he asked her why she did
it. Because of the Empress Frederick"
she answered. When the Empress was
in Berlin she drove every day when it
was fine toward Charlottenburg with
her daughters, and at the Hippodrome
they got out of their carriages and
walked. Her Majesty noticed the little
girl always waiting at the same place,
and invariably nodded kindly in &C
acknowledgement. of her courtesy, where
upon the child went home beaming.-

OUR PLUTocRAr1c SENATE

The National Farmers Alliance
mades a sensible demand that United
States Senators shall be elected by the
people. It is time that this last YES
tige of monarchist idea was abolished.
The people are the source of all gov
eminent, and under the present method
their will is often defeated, not only
in electing a Senator, but quite often
by the Senate which is not in sym
pathy with reforms and new measures,
and often balks the will of the people.
NEBRASKA Farmer, Lincoln, Ne6.
The National Grange, at its recent
session, made the same demands, and
the Farmers Alliance and Co.opera.
tive Union, assembled at Shreveport,
La, enacted the same doctrine. It is
the only method of getting rid of

THE FARMER IN POLITICS.

THE% Farm and Home, of Spring.
Il field, Mass, gives most excellent
advice to it's readers.
"Take off your coats, roll up your
sleeves, spit on your hands, and sail
in farmers of America, if you expect
to elect Legislatures that will be true
to your interests and to the best inter
ests of the whole people. Now is the
time to begin. The politicians are
already laying their wires to parcel
out the Offices, but what farmer in
the State has been consulted2 This
parceling out is directed mainly to.
ward would-be Senators, and it is in
reference to an honest State Senate
that farmers must pay special atten.
ton. The best special effort farmers
can make this year will be to go right
into politics from the start, with the
sole object in view of sending men
from their respective senatorial dis.
tricts to the State Senate, not only
pledged to support the peoples inter.
ests, but men whose pledges can be
depended upon. It is not a question
of whether the Senators shall be
Democrats or Republicans, but the
question is whether they will vote for
such measures as are demanded by
the welfare Of the producing classes.
The thing is for the farmers of every
town to make this effort the issue of
their campaign. The farmers must
come out at their preliminary auC
and must run the caucus themselves
instead of having the politicians run
it. They must put in their own chair
man and secure the appointment OF
delegates to the representative and
senatorial conventions, pledged to
support only farmer candidates. The
representatives so pledged must meet
before the nominating conventions
and perfect an organized programme,
so that they can secure an honest
farmer nominee. If in any senatorial
convention there is a majority against
the farmers, let the farmer delegates
stand right up to the rack and tell the
politicians that unless the nomination
goes to one who will vote for the
right, every farmer in the district will
scratch the ticket. Let the farmers
work through their own party first.
Then if they don't secure satisfactory
nominees for the House and Senate,
let them cooperate with the farmers
of the opposite political party in nam
ing the right men and in elect1ng
them"
These suggestions will apply to the
brotherhood in North Carolina as well
as in Massachusetts.

THE WESTERN WAY OF TELL.

fellow who says the $1,000, 600, GEO in

ury is detained there to REDEEM green
backs, when the following is the law
now in force:
"That from and after the passage

officer under him to cancel or retire any
more of the United States legal tender
notes (greenbacks( And when any
of said notes may be redeemed or be

shall prohibit the cancellation and de-

issue of other notes of like denomina-

LOOK INTO THE MATTER NOW.
THE st. Louis meeting adopted
the following:

st. Louis meeting adopted
Il the following:
THAT cotton producers be advised
not to contract any debt in the future
that will obligate them to deliver their
cotton on a given day, sooner than the
25th day of December"
A moments reflection will show the
policy and wisdom suggested by this
recommendation of the ST. Louis Con
vention. Nearly all contracts made
by u farmers in the spring anG
summer, and especially for supplies,
are arranged to mature in the fall,
generally, not later than the first of
November. AS these contracts, for
the most part, are to be paid in cotton
or cash, what is the effect ? It is to
force a large part of the crop on the
market at a given date. The farmer
is compelled %tolsell, at whatever price.
This large amount of cotton thrown
on the market at one time gives the
Spectator decidedly the advantage
over. the producer in many ways. It
forces the farmer to sell not only at
the very opening of the season, but
on a glutted market. It enables the
~gpeculator 1--WE mean the large dealers
in large money centres) to hoard the
supply in their own hand and deal it
out to consumers as they are obliged
to have it, thus securing an increased
profit which the farmer should have
and could have if he could hold the
cotton. By making contracts so they
would not mature earlier than the
date named, it would allow the farmer
whatever benefits the market might
offer for a period of two to three
months longer than he now has. The
farmer acts very unwisely who places
himself in such position as forces him
to sell any crop just as Don as it is
harvested and especially a crop of
such commercial Importance as is the
cotton crop of this country.
Now is the time to take the matter
into consideration, as contracts for the
present year are now being made.
Let subordinate and county organiza-
tions consider the matter in a business
like way and appoint committees to
confer with those merchants who usu-
ally supply the farmers within their
respective Jurisdictions and arrange
with them for securing the desired
extension. Again we should remem-
Der that very many of these merchants
must themselves make arrangements
with their creditors before they can
agree to extend the time. Hence in
any aspect of the case, the farmers
should take prompt action in this i'm,
portant matter.

ing there for couple of days her father de.
cided that she was not receiving the proper
kind of treatment and had her removed to
the hotel, where, although receiving good
medical attention, she died. The hospital

fairly well before her removal. The Coroner
was notified, and will investigate the case
this morning.

rpxcIAI TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-President Walter
Hewitt and Assignee Coleman, Of the WASH
ington Baseball Club, to-day severed their con-
nection with that organization. It was found
that the games at Capitol Park did not draw
well enough to hold out any prospects of being
able to pay the salaries of the men, and the
club was therefore turned over to Manager
Sullivan to do what he could with it. II is
learned that the club will not disband, but will
play its scheduled games Manager Sullivan
says that several Washingtonians offered TO
back him before the opening of the season, and
they will be given an opportunity TO become
sponsors for the present club. Ii no one is
willing to put up the money necessary to run
the club, it will be continued on the co-opera-
tive plan the players giving their services and
taking chances of &c tting their salaries. He
thought all the men would accede to this plan,
as 1t is pretty late in the season to expect to
locate advantageously elsewhere, and it is the
only chance Lets the men to recover some of
their back salaries.
Washington is too good a ball town to be
abandoned, and he is firmly determined to
cling to the sinking ship with the hope of
bringing her safely into port at the close of the
season. 1t is the intention to have good team
occupy the field in case an opportunity offers
for Washington TO join the American Associa-
tion next year.
