THE FARMERS ALLIANCE AND LABOR
UNIONS.

We have long been impressed with the
fundamental differences which must divide
the parties composing The Farmers ALL
ance aud Industrial Union" The grievances
Of which the farmersI complain find but
slight support in the principles and pur-
poses OF their allies the Knight Of Labor or
any other labor union of mechanics.
The farmers greatest grievance has been
the iniquitious tariff. the watchword and
battle-cry Of which has been Protection TO
American Mechanics"
AS 10 the railroads. the Granger element in
the Northwestern States so controlled the
management and tariff Of rates Of railroads
that poverty stared the railroad people III tho
face and the wages OF railroad employees
were so reduced that they threatened to
make it a political issue against the t'fangers
unless there was some mitigation OF their
attacks upon railroads.
In the matter of finance the mechanical
classes, not being borrowers Of money upon
mortgaged farms but living on wages have
not only no interest in reducing the value or
q dollar, but every reason to maintain the
American dollar at its gold standard value
and to give it such position throughout the
world. The debt oppressed farmer on the
other hand, would perhaps be willing to see
one dollar Of its present value made able to
settle $500 worth of debts or more. and OF
course have It's purchasing power impaired
by one-half.
1t is difficult to see what substantial and
sincere cohesion there can be between these
elements naturally 50 alienated from each
other
It is stated that there is sort Of Farmers
Alliance in Switzerland, which calls itself the
"Agrarian League, and is makinga special at
tack upon the labor organizations. They de-
clare that "a deep chasm separates the indus
trial workingman from the farmer. The lat
ter knows that he gets nothing without hard
work, and it is impossible for him to sec how
the workingman cuts down his hours Of work
from twelve 10 eleven. to ten, and finally to
eight. all the while increasing his wages by
means Of strikes and is still asking for more"
We will await with interest the discussion
and decision Of these questions by The
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union"

THE growing probability that Hyppolite will
soon be called upon TO exert every energy
to retain the position which he now occupies
makes it all the more important that the min
lister who will be appointed TO take Fred.
Douglass place shall DO white man OF
acknowledged ability and force of character.
When Hyppolite was contending with Legi-
time for power. in order to get the moral sup
port of the United States he promised TO
cede the Mole st. Nicholas as soon as his
authority was established This promise he
afterwards coolly ignored but it will not be
long before he will be seeking the moral
countenance of the United States again.
Then will be the opportunity for skillful
American minister TO obtain the right which
THIS country has SO long desired TO secure
AS soon as the cession is promised instant
possession can be taken of the point Of ad-
vantage. Experience has shown that no re-
lance can be- placed upon the fulfllment of
Hyppolte's promises after he has destroyed
his enemies.

DISTRIBUTION OF ABILITY.

The article contributed 10 the last number
Of the Century by Henry Cabot Lodge on the
local distribution Of ability in the United
States IS full Of curious and interesting de-
tails. Unfortunately the encyclopedia upon
which the article is based was composed ex-
clusively by Northern writers, who have adj
mitted many Northern names which should
havo been excluded and omitted many
Southern names that should have been
mentioned. In spite of this partiality the
showing Of the South, and more particularly
Of Virginia. is most honorable, especially .of
Virginia in the instance Of statesmen.
II is surprising to find that the palm Of
military superiority is awarded t. the North
eastern States. According to our recollection,
Washington. Virginian, commanded the
Revolutionary army; Scott, q Yirginian, was.
after Jackson. the leading figure of the war of
1912; Scott and Taylor, two Virginians. were
the foremost soldiers Of the Mexican war, and
all disinterested witnesses unite in pronouuc-
ing General Lee, a Nirginan, to have been
the greatest commander in the war between
the States. and Stonewall Jackson. Yirginian.
to have been the foremost military genius.
Thomas, Yirginian. is by an increasing num-
Der Of competent persons considered to have
been the ablest soldier on the Federal side.
Who were the great Massachusetts, soldiers
in the Revolutionary war. the war Of 1912. the
Mexican war AMI the war between the StatesY
We can only recall "Old Put" whose chief
military achievement consisted in riding a
horse down pair Of steep steps, and that, too.
in preeipitate retreat.

WIEN Grant was President of the United
States he inaugurated system of iunketing
at the public expense which all Republican
administrations since have regarded as a sufi-
cient precedent to justify them in doing the
same thing. In fact, the Republican Presi-
dents ever since the war have acted as if they
looked upon the Government as their
individual property and that instead
Of being servants they considered them
selves masters Of the people. 1t is not
TO be wondered at. therefore. that Mr..
Russell Harrison thought it perfectly
right and proper for him. because he was the
son OF the President. TO ask for Government
revenue cutter with which to meet the ladies
Of ms family on their return from Europe.
Ii is encouraging TO hope that as his request
was refused by Secretary Foster, the Republi-
can party is coming TO its senses.

A LoyE-sIcE swain of st. Paul has brought
suit against his sweetheart for flirting laying
the damages ut $1,000. The petition will pro.
badly be dismissed for uncertainty, as it fails
10 mention the degree of flirting of which the
girl was guilty No scale Of penalties has YET
been adopted for this odense. but the Chicago
Mail suggests the following; "A look askance,

$500; a kiss. $1,000; combination kiss and
squeeze. $1,000"
Rather severe; but still hardly sufficient Ia
prevent the practice. In fact flirting is con.
stitutional with some girls.
