The Citizens, Alliance.

Kansas gives to Texas the credit of
the organization of the Farmers AL
lance, but claims for herself the organ
ization of the first Citizens Alliance,
which seems to be destined to exert as
widespread an influence in waging war
upon the hosts of monopoly as the
Farmers Alliance or the Knights of
Labor.
Perfected by its State organization on
August IL, 1890. it has already spread
into Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ore
gon, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa, Illinois, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and North Carolina, while
Kansas now has over 200 Sub-Alliances
organized. On Monday, the State Sec
retary issued charters for twenty-eight
Sub-Alliances in Kansas. The demands
for charters and the correspondence has
become so large that the State secretary
has appointed two assistant secretaries
to help in the work of extending the
organization But few persons have
paid any attention to sending postage
along with their communications. and
the secretary wishes US to call the at
ton of all Sub-Alliances to the order
adopted by the State Alliance that every
Sub-Alliance, when organized, should
pay charter fee of sixty cents and to
request that the Sub-Alliances will for
ward their charter fees at once to the
State secretary to help bear the ex-
penses of the organization, which thus
far have fallen mostly upon him.-Ad-

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Bonnets and Skirts Shaped With Unprece-
dented simplicity.
Many of the bonnets ornamented with
flowers only are fresh and summer-like
10 the last degree, being made of the
lightest rush, like basket-work, and left
unlined like the rose-stalk bonnets OF
last year. Some of these are all of
brown rush, some of green and brown
mixed, and others of silver-white twigs
that look exactly like birch bark The
flowers used upon them seem, if pos
sible, better imitation Of the real than
ever. One pretty bonnet of pale green
rush has trembling, delicate cluster of
valley lilies placed quite forward, SO
that some Of the sprays droop over the
hair, and in the heart Of the pure white
cluster nestle two rich, red rosebuds.
Clusters Of mountain daisies are used,
dandelion blossoms and buds that look
just picked from their stems, with
a blow" or two to complete the illu-
sion, and dusty miller" leaves sur
round carefully-shaped groups of
cowslips.
Accordion-plaited tissue paper in del
icate tints is used for concealing ugly
red hower-pots containing blossoming
plants and vines The covers are 80
shaped that four points are visible,
with corresponding hollows The shape
is slipped over the fiower-pot at the low
er portion OF the cover, and owing to it's

Loan Direct to the People.

The people ought to contend against
any banking system that asks for bond
basis. Let the Comptroller of the Cur
rency declare the country incorporated
for the purpose of banking. Let money
be loaned by the General Government
to the county at one per cent per an
mum. the same as the money is now
loaned to National banks. The county
can then loan to the individual without
discrimination, at low rate of in terest,
which should be uniform throughout the
United States. Under such system the
people would pay interest to themselves
and it would place the currency of the
country upon basis where it could not
be cornered and business depressed If
money would pay margin over three
per cent. per annun, in case this should
be the rate adopted, then the people
would borrow and use the money in
legitimate business and whenever it
failed to pay margin over three per
cent. it would be returned to the county
and would always adjust itself to the
business wants of our country, and our
vast commercial interests would not be
left to the will of 8, 300 National banks,
who can contract the money of the
country without notice to the people,
depreciate the property of the country
and wreck the fortunes of the people

MEDICINE LODGE KANSAS, "WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER

OF them will be new men in Congress.
AS it is now, there are only four openly
avowed Farmers Alliance men in the
House. 1t is rather strange that out Of
these four McClammy, of North
Carolina, and Morgan, of Mis-
sissippi have been defeated for re-
nomination Until quite recently have
felt most sanguine that the next House
would be Democratic, but the outlook
is that it will be either swayed by the
Farmers Alliance men or again con-
trolled by the Republicans In many
instances the Democrats have nomi-
mated candidate in opposition to the
Farmers Alliance. The history of pol
itics shows that where there is split in
the dominant party the candidate of
the naturally weaker faction slips in.
In Georgia, Blount Crisp and Turner
will be returned, although It is hard to
say what will be developed in the way
Of an independent movement before
election time comes round. North Car
olina will send a solid delegation of
Farmers Alliance men. In my State I
am sure there will be 9 number of US
left at home"

Talking and Voting.

People would have much more conf
dence in the sincerity of Senators who
so bitterly denounce proposed lsgisla-
tion In Congress If they would vote as
they talk. Our junior Senator talked
all right on the silver question, yet in
the end voted for one of the most in
famous measures that ever disgraced
the legislation of any country. He de-
nounced the monstrosity known as the
Mckinley Tariff bill in unmeasured
terms, yet in the final round up he was
found with the balance of the herd in
the same corral Ingalls, postponed his
tariff speech to more auspicious occa-
sion. It does not matter, however, how
any of them talk. When it comes to
voting the caucus fxes that and 1t has
been as we'll known ever since the pass
age of the Silver bill just how Senator
Plumb would vote on the final passage
of the Mckinley bill as it is known to-
day. He has played grand farce to ap-
plauding galleries and sold out the in
terests of his people.-Advocate.

ONLY A FARMER.

"Only farmer"-so dlsdainfully spoken
BY q woman of fashion-so her garments
gave token;
"Only farmer, a tiller of soil,
With hands stained by labor and hardened
by toll;
Reared in the country, he knows little but
work.
And oats with his knife while disdaining the
fork"
'Only farmer-so awkward-a boor;
And what is far worse he is always poor;
'Tis said he's contented, his face wears q
smile,
But he is no gentleman, unless he has style"
''Only farmer" the polite an says;
'''Tis but little he knows of the means and
of ways;
Let him stay on the farm, he is better OF
there;
We've enough in our ranks, aye and many
to spare"
"Only a farmer" did the lawyer exclaim,
There's no laurels for him, or honor or
fame;
Professional men should the offices fill,
And leave the farmers at home their acres
to till"
But be not diIheartened ye tillers of earth |;
Many others there be who recognize worth,
Whether in Office high or ia shiJn's gay hall,
Or plain country home, we obey duty's
call.
