The Farmers Alliance does not object
to all proper legislation for the benefit
of every class, but it has great reason
to object to the manner in which all
other classes have monopolized legisla-

passed which pretended in any way to
point to a benefit of the agricultural in
terests they have been so amended and
warped that their whole interest is to

demagogne's bid for votes 1t is con-

of which it has ever dealt with prac-

that and it favors something else, and
the people of Kansas are not caring
what it favors, so long as the past rec
ords OF the party prove that it has done
but little to sustain the boasting dec

pretends to give its Endorsement to

of the party goes to prove that hereto

attempt to bridge the yawning chasm

How to spend Money.

NJ may know how to savc-that is, to
accumiltaoe-and yet not know how to

women when they go shopping bear out
the truth of this assertion. They may

Japanese lacquer is the product of a
tree, the rhus vernicifera, which grows
throughout the main island of Japan.
1t attains great size, the trunks some
times measuring a meter in diameter.

years, but onN comparatively young
trees are VALUED for the production of
lacquer living yielded for several
years they are cut down, the lacquer ex-
tracted from the branches, and young
trees take their places. 1t gives sur
face to wood much harder than our best
copal varnish, without brittleness. 1t
takes a polish not to be excelled, which
lasts for centuries. 1t is proof against
boiling water, alcohol, and, indeed, is
eeems to be insoluble in every agent

ORIGINAL POETRY.
LINES

TO Mr.. and Mrs. j. b. Oder on the death OF
their infant daughter VIRGINIA PAGE.
Sad our hearts and deeply wounded
By the visit death has made;
Tears cannot express our sorrow
AS we view the place she's laid.
Gone forever art thou, dearie?
Coulds't thou stay no longer here?
Was our home not bright and happy?
Was this world too cold and drear?
Brief the term of thy existence,
Like some fragrant summer flower
opening Ill the dews of morning
Dropping ere the noontide hour.
As we gazed npon thy features
Pale and rigd-still in death,
Well we knew that God had given
Thee a life far better yet
While we're mourning DER thy body
Late temple of thy guiltless soul,
We would not recall thee, dearie,
From thy bright and heavenly goal.
Cold and low in graveyard yonder-
There that little temple lies,
While thy spirit, pure and stainless,
Dwells with God above the skies
With the choirs of saints and angels
High in heaven thou dost stand
There to hope that thy sad parents
May meet thee in that bright land.
A FRIEND.

RAIN IN THE NORTHWEST


a Question of Importance to Several Mill
lions of People.
Can the climate of Western Minnesota,
the Bakotas, and Washington be de-
pended ON to yield sufficient supply of
rain for agriculture? 1t is question
that farmers of that region are now anx-
iously asking. Hitherto the belief has
been that it was, and the splendid crops
of wheat raised there number of years
in succession seemed to prove it. Now,
however. droutns seem following one an
other thick an fast. 1t is said there is
now no trace OF hundreds of small lakes
that were marked on early maps of Da-
<ota and Minnesota. Doubtle,,ly many
IF THESE axes have cX sted in the splendid
imagination of the gifted land agent, and
nowhere else. BIZ some of them must

knowledge of residents of the Northwest
that lakes have dric up, and the ground
they occuplt d ha@Dcen plowed for wheat
fields. In one or two Instances this fate

THE SUN AND THE WEATHER,

W.. l4v".y y. Maine, in an elaborate
article i'll the Troy Times, thus sums up
his conclusions: When solar disturbances
follow each other in rapid succession the
storm period is prolonged. The effects
OF solar disturbances would break out
ON the suns hemisphere turned toward
us produce sudden and powerful effects
in our atmosphere. Storms known as
cloudhursts have been most frequently
noted in connection with these sudden
outbursts on the suns face. As rule
the marks of solar disturbance cannot
be seen until the storms ON the earth
cease. The spots form after the storm
producing eruptions. Tornadoes are
most numerous during periods of vio-
lent solar agitation. The number and
violence of tornadoes are directly pro-
portioned to the number and violence of
solar disturbances. Observations made
during the past winter and spring show
that solar disturbances are in some cases
not marked by spots until month or
two after the eruptions begin. Fifty
two days after the great storm of Janu-
airy and 10, 1889, spots appeared by
the suns rotation. Spots also appeared
hy rotation fifty-two days after the
great Samoan hurricane of March Is
and l6, 1888. which wrecked several
men of-war in the harbor of Apia- This
disturbance on the sun was followed
upon temperance May 80 and 30 by the
floods which wrecked Johnstown, Pa.
and drowned Williamsport, Pa.

How Mr.. HAYES Looks Now.

A reporter who saw ex-President
Rutherford B. Hayes in Chicago the other
day says of him: He is aging very rap
idly. His once sandy and always luxu-
RANT beard is quite snowy, and his form
is becoming tritle bent, but he dresses
in quite youthful way and his man
ners, always engaging, are genial and
pleasant Since the death of Mrs.
Hayes the generals friends say he takes
q much more active interest in public af
fairs and in the world about him. He
travels about more, he discusses politi-
cal matters, he takes keen interest in
current and contemporaneous events,
and discusses everything with quite a
free tongue. He has even gone SO far
as to recommend somebody to President
Harrison for an office-the which, by the
way, has not been acted upon.
