The issue in Arkansas in the com,

The Knights of Labor are rapidly
increasing in membership. Not only
is the rapid increase in numbers and
interest noticeable in this vicinity, but
throughout the whole country. The
significant part of these cheering
views is, however, that the growth is
of healthy character, and in no in

Every man elected to fill an Office
is only an employee of the people, and
the system of voting is only method
of finding out who the people want
to employ, hence every officer owes
obedience to the will of the people as
their servant, and any failure to rem
der such obedience is dishonest act
that should be rebuked by removal at

The Farmers Alliance men claim
that they will have everything their
own way in the politics of Georgia
and Alabama, and will elect only
their own candidates to all the offices,
from governor down. OF the present
representatives in Congress they pro.
pose to leave eight out of ten at home

When the Democrats had the House
and President they let the silver ques-
ton sleep, and their excuse was L" the
Republicans have the Senate and we
can do nothing" What's the matter
with the Senate The Senate is all
right and doubtless was two and four
years ago. It is the House that seems
to be out of joint. Each man should
do his duty regardless of what he
may think some other man will do.-

ers' and laborers wives, daughters

that now environs them. No intelli-
gent people have ever been enslaved
no ignorant people have been found
in any other condition than slavery.
The great trouble with the farmers
is th9y cultivate their muscles too
much and their brains too little

During the last week 10000 people
who represent the "lntelligence of
the country sailed from New York
for Europe. Meanwhile the men who
produced the wealth which enables
these people to take their ease in
foreign countries during the hot
weather, must work ten hours or more
per day, live on the barest necessities
of life and be denounced as loud
mouthed labor agitators if they object
to doing so.-Mjdiamd Mechanic, Kan

The political shysters in Congress
from some of our agricultural districts
are just now exerting themselves in
wasting their sympathies on the farmer
on account of his pitiable condition,
and some of our agricultural papers,
that ought to see further into a mill
stone than they do, are lauding them
to the skies, therefore forgetting that
these tafy dispensaries are merely
setting their sails to catch the political
breezes- which will blow in the sweet
bye and bye Grange Nee0s.
Because capital always has been
favored, and labor always has been
oppressed. the demagogue reasons
that any variation from this course is
radical and unconstitutional. Is our
constitution so made that taxes can
be voted to the rich, but no relief
granted to the poor Were Jefferson
and his CO workers aristocrats in dis
guise? We are glad that the Decla-
ration of Independence hasn't been
legislated out of existence, if its ideas
have.-SOlOman Valley Democrat.
