THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
From the New York Herald


Keep your weather eye on that Farm
erS' Alliance. 1t is getting to be pow
erfui organization, and If it continues
to grow in the next two years as it has
grown during the last two it will become
political factor in the campaign of
1892
1t represents a tendency of the times
the tendency toward paternal govern
ment-which in our Judgment is fraught
with boundless danger. The Alliance
must think little more profoundly on
this subject. Its present position Is that
of a tyro in political economy. AS it
grows older, however, it will probably
grow wiser, and so become a healthy,
hearty, vigorous and inspiring element
in our American life.
The bottom fact is that the govern
ment at Washington should be curtailed,
not enlarged. a president is nothing
more than the peoples servant. If he is
ever allowed to become their master,
you may as well order tombstone, for
our liberties will langnish and die.
The less government you have the
better off the people are; the more you
have, the worse off the people are.
1t is the peoples business to run this
government, not the presidents.
The Alliance folk must come round to
that basis before they can stand firm.

CHUMP DEMOCRACY.

Where is the Democratic party of
Kansas? One-half of Robinson's vote
were out and out Republicans and in
voting for Robinson didn't claim to be
anything else. The Democratic papers
and politicians are patting the Alliance
on the back, but down deep in their
hearts they vote the Peoples party too
inexpressably to utter, 1t was the Peo-
pies party that swallowed the Demo-
Gratis, teeth, toe-nails, unwashed and
whole, and then elected five Alliance
congressman, every one of whom is a
Republican. The EAGLE kept telling the
Democrats of the Seventh district that
Jere Simpson was no Democrat, that, in
in fact, he had been everything else, pol
itically, but the Democrats elected him
all the same. The Democratic party of
Kansas is a chimp.

COURAGE IN DISCRETION.
From the Ner YORK ErsnInr Poi.

From the New York Evening Post.
The western Republican newspapers
which demand that the party shall i'm
mediately retreat from Its indefensible
position regarding the tariff grow more
urgent week by week. They ridicule
the claim of the BOurbons that retreat
would be surrender, and cite various
precedents from military history where
great commanders fell back from posi-
tons which they could not hold, and by
such retreats Won greater victories.
Moreover. they tell the BourbOns plainly
that II Is simply question between re-
treat and humiliation. The Chicago
Tribune draws warning from the his
tory Of the Wing party. That party, Ii

AN AMERICAN KING.

Summing up what now appears to
have been accomplished by Jay Gould in
the way of securing control of the rail
way systems of the country, the Atchi-
son Champion says:
To the absolute control of the great
Missouri Pacific system he has added a
controlling interest in the Union Pacific;
a control of the Santa Fe system which
enables him to dictate a general traffic
arrangement that will be mutually bene-
fetal to both the Missouri Pacific and the
Santa Fe; a controlling interest in the
Northern Pacific, and practically the
same as a controlling interest in the Bal
timore and Ohio. He secures the Rich
mOnd Terminal, controlling the most i'm
portant railway system Of the south; he
captures the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, and, by the whole combination,
places himself in position to dictate terms
to all the important roads of the land.
Mr. Gould. by his NapoleOnic master
strokes. becomes literally in command
of the transportation of the county
east. west, north, northwest, southwest
and south, with line of steamers to
facilitate his Pacific coast operations; and
make him the railroad king of the United
States--the greatest achievement of its
kind in the history of the world.
Here, then, we have man possessing
more commercial power than that pos
seSsed by all the other railway magnates
of the country combined, not excluding
the Vanderbilts, Huntingtons and STAN
fords.
In some minds this enormous concen-
tration of power IN the hands of one man
may create serious apprehension, but
fears on this score are entirely ground
less for several reasons. The very am
bition that led to the acquisition of such
Unprecedented financial power will, the
Champion is confident, operate TO re-
strain its exercise within legitimate and
perfectly safe channels. No one better
than Mr.. Gould knows that the abuse of
his vast power would imperil
its perpetuity and hazard, TO
the verge of loss irretrievable,
the unwise exercise of it. No one bet
ter than Mr.. Gould is aware that the
arbitrary or despotlc use of his recently
acquired enormous power would tend to
place him and the great interests which
he controls in serious jeopardy.
Realizing as he does this fact, he may
be relied upon to wisely, discreetly and
considerably administer this great trust
for the public and general good, and so
conduct his various enterprises that.
while ne will enhance his already large
personal fortune, not only viii the stock
and bondholders mutually interested with
him make their proportionate profits. but
thousands upon thousands of employees
dependent upon him, the business pa
irons of all his railway lines. and the
territory embraced within the limits of
his roads. will also share in the mevi-
table benefits accruing from his mastery

warning, and striving hard to correct
the evils of the bosses, Is plain to any
intelligent reader.
In the two articles referred to, you
voice the full sentiments of the people,
who, on the 4th of November, Gowned
the Republican party of Kansas and
also the National Republican party.
Unless, as you predict, the present con-
gress makes radical reforms, by permit
ting the free coinage of silver, and by a
very greatly increased volume of money,
and by ceasing to squander the peoples
money IN useless appropriations, and by
repeating, everlastingly the frauds in the
Mckinley bill, the Republicans will not
win III the next national victory. The
people were disguised with the work Of
congress last session, and no party ties
will control longer, unless in the ninety
days remaining some good work is done
for the people.
would be pleased to see in the EAGLE
an occasional reminder to the Peoples
party in the next Kansas house, as to
moderation in their undertakings as law
makers. There is some danger OF the
over Jealous members getting out of
bounds. They should work for the best
interest of the whole people.
only wish to express my approval of
the courage you manifest in battling for
right and against wrong.
Yours truly,
r. J. HUKLE.

WHY FRANCE IS WELL OFF.

From the New York Press.
One of the sturdiest Democrats OF In
diana is Col. Dick Bright, who Is the law
partner of ex-senator Joseph E. Melon
aid. and who was formerly sergeant-at-
arms of the United States senate. The
cablegrams from Europe brought the
news the other day that the Bank of
England had been begging gold from the
Bank of France to help sustain the imam
cial situation in London, and that the
latter bank had sent G., 900, 900 sterling to
London in compliance with the request.
Col. Bright read the news on his way up
town at the close of the day, and l saw
him a short time afterward, when
he threw up his hands and said:
Il have been praising the Lord
for an hour. l think that l would be
well satisfied now TO leave this earCh,
since l have seen England Inundated to
the point of asking financial assistance
from France. Do you know what has
made France so strong financially-what
enabled her to come out of the Prussian
war in such great shape: 1t was the
French peasant women and silver cur
rency. They have stood by silver in
France and become rich and powerful
among the nations by reason of 1t. The
United States may take a lesson in cur
rency from France and remonetize silver
by passing free coinage act. 1t would
be the greatest act of legislation since
the war"

it would be AN abandonment OF the COM
promises t the constitution just as the
McKinleyites say that the repeal OF their
excessive duties will be a violation OF sa-
cred contracts with the mill bosses. Ii
the campaign of 1892 is fought on the Is
sue of standing by McKinleyism, the Re
publican candidate will be knocked out
worse than Scott was in 1852, who ran
on the platform of standing by the com
promises of the constitution-theF ugi-
tive Slave Law of 1852. Scott carried
four states and the Wing party soon at
ter disbanded.

THE ALLIANCE IN GEORGIA.

Nobody knows exactly what is the con-
dition of the Farmers Alliance in Geor-
gia today. Prior 10 the recent senatorial
election, the Farmers Alliance was per.
haps stronger in Georgia than in almost
any other state in the union. but the re-
cent senatorial election seems to have
separated the great majority of the ALI
ance men from those who have been
their leaders in the past and to have SO
embittered them against those leaders as
TO h ave induced the great mass of the
members TO strive to defeat those leaders
liz their senatorial scheme, no matter
who reaped the benefit.
Now as there is this division between
the great mass of the members and the
leaders, to whom they have in the past
been accustomed to look, what is apt to
be the result:
1t is really a difficult matter to decide.
By some it is thought that the Alliance
viii rally around the conservative gov
ernor who owes his elevation to them
and that the order in the great state
of Georgia will simply infuse fresh
blood into the regular Democracy of
Georgia.
Others, again, have an idea that. mas
much as President Polk selected Col
Norwood as the means Of communicate
ing with the Georgia Alliance, in the
most critical stage of the recent contest,
on his shoulders the mantle Of leader
ship will fall; but in spite of all sur
misses, it must be confessed that just at
present the situation in Georgia, as far
as the position of the Alliance as a
political faction IS concerned. IS chaotic.

GLORY ENOUGH FOR THE EAGLE

The Wichita Board Of Trade sent rep
resentatives to the first deep water con-
vention held in Texas, some two years
since, Immediately succeeding which
the EAGLE took up the discussion, hold
ing that some time in the near future
the largest per cent of the vast products
of the Northwest would cease moving
across the continent and over the ALE
cheney mountains to the Atlantic for ex-
portation, and would go down to the
gulf. Up to the time of the convention
at Topeka the EAGLE was the only infiu-
entail paper in the state that evinced any
interest in the movement for an appro-
priation for deep water at Galveston.
The following letter from member of
the deep water committee speaks for it.
self and speaks for the EAGLE:
GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. %, 1890.
Col n. ". Murdoch, Wichita, Kan.
DEAR SR-The Wichita EAGLE has
been one of the greatest factors in secur-
ing deep water at the Gulf Congress-
men whom | met in Washington have
assured me that some Of the strongest
arguments yet produced first appeared
in your paper.
Would 1t be asking too much should l
request you TO collect for me, if possible,
what the EAGLL has published editori-
ally upon this subject, and mail the
same to me? am attempting to gather
the newspaper data in regard to this
matter with a view of publishing it for
South American circulation. 1t seems
but natural that the great corn, wheat
and stock crop of Kansas, if may put
it that way, should have an outlet TO the
outside world as near home as possible

Shortly after o'clock Tuesday night,
November %, Benjamin Penhallow Shil-

In 1887 he lived in British Guiana, but re-
moved to Boston the next year and i'll

Post, a situation which he retained for
ten years. Then, for three years, he
edited a comic paper called the Carpet

produced by an apt misuse of big

An Illustrative Parallel.

From the Arkansas City Dispatch.
The declaration by jay Gould that the
western and southwestern railroads have
lost S22, 800, 900 the past eighteen months
reminds us of the loss a certain Hebrew
dealer claimed to have sustained in an
Ohio town several years ago. This son
of Israel was named Barney, and one
morning he appeared in a drug store ad-
joining his place of business with a very
glum look upon his face. Good morn

greeted him as he walked back

THE ALLIANCE CANDIDATES.

In large number of our exchanges
within week or two past we have
noticed that w. +. Hutchinson, Esq, of
Wichita, is being talked of as the ALI
ance candidate for United States senator.
Some of these papers go so far as to say
that Mr.. Hutchinson has announced him.
self as being a candidate. Whatever
may be his chances, or however much
he is being talked of in that connection,
he surely has not announced such an am
bitiOn, much less urged his own claims.
If he had, the people here would have
known it. He took part in the late can
vass, both as n writer and as a speaker,
and his writings showed him to be a
strong believer in the Alliance doctrine
that ''the office should seek the man."
His editorials in the Commoner showed
that he is an advocate of the largest pos
sible increase of currency that can be
made on a bimetalic or sound basis, that
he is for free coinage, for a modification
of the tariff biil-not free trader-and
for postal telegraph system. He is of
southern birth and education, we believe,
but of Republican antecedents, and is no
doubt in harmony with the Republican
party in most things, save in those of the
tariff, Of free coinage and greater vol
ume of currency, in which particulars
he holds to the Alliance doctrines. With
this data our cotempories can go on with
the discussion of PETER, Garfield, Hutch
inson, Rice, Doster and the rest, as pos
sible successors TO John James Ingalls,.

The People Can Be Trusted

From the Lawrence Journal.
1t is asserted that the people of Kansas
would defeat the proposition for a con-
stitutional convention, should they have
voice in the matter, as promptly as
they did the two amendments submitted
at the late election. That is perhaps
true at the present time. But the voters
of the state realize that it is necessary TO
do something, and when they quit tight
ing about local and small things they
will all get together and get up a new
constitution. When a man has a year
to think about matter he seldom does
what he would DO on the moment.
