Farmers Alliance Men in Missouri VIII
Vote With Their Respective Parties in
1S92-He Scores Pennsylvania for Per-
mitting So Much Political Corruption.
Hon. w. H. Hatch, of Hannibal, NO.,
came into town last evening and put up
over night at the Anderson. He had been
visiting relatives in the eastern part of the
State, but having contracted a cold in re-
turning decided to wait for an early train
this morning, in preference to travelling all
night.
Congressman Hatch said that the political
air of Missouri was quiescent and would so
remain until next spring, when the cam
paign opened. They had no officers to elect
this year, and were more interested in
watching their neighbors, especially Iowa.
"The Farmers Alliance" said Mr.. Hatch,
"has an organization in every county in
Missouri, and has an undeniable strength.
The question is whether that strength will
be exerted solidly in political struggle. I
do not think it will. The majority of the
members were Democrats before the ALI
ance came to be known as the Third party.
When the farmers entered into the Allia nee
they did so without thought of its ulti-
mately becoming political party, and it
will be found that in 1892 the Democratic
members will vote with their party just as
the Republican element will with theirs.
The position of both parties, relatively to
numbers, Will not undergo any change; Re-
publicans will gain as much from the Demo
Gratis as the latter will from the former.
at is regarded with astonishment in the
West" continued the Missouri Congress
man, "that such a condition of political cor
ruption as appears to exist in Pennsylvania
should be permitted to continue. A State
with the historical record of Pennsylvania,
which at one time was regarded as the key
stone of the political structure, and whose
vote was decisive in national contests, now
appears before the country as afflicted with
q leprosy of corruption which is simply as
founding. To me it is surprising that such
q state of affairs is allowed to exist. In the
West the people would soon rectify any
thing of the kind. Office seekers and hold
ers in Missouri are subject to scrutiny that
makes wrong doing impossible. The peo-
pie know the men they place in Office, being
very careful in selecting them, and the re-
suit is that we in Missouri are never
troubled by such revelations as seem to
have become customary with you."
Congressman Hatch thinks that it Is too
early to talk about men for '92. Many
changes may yet occur between now and
the convention. He says that were it not
for mis- silver letter Cleveland would GER
tatnl y have had the nomination from Mis-
souri,. He thinks Campbell is a good organ
izer and a keen fighter, and will stand
good chance of winning in Ohio.

MELLOR s. HOENE,
Pianos. Organs and AeoIians.

A visit to the palace of Music,'' II Fifth
avenue, will afford convincing proof of the
worth of the goods in which this house deals;
proof is given too of the very moderate
prices asked for these splendid instruments
than which nothing better could be desired.
Mellor & Hoene, not content to take the lead
in pianos alone, have taken themselves right
to the front in the matter of organs, and as
to "Aeolians," they were the pioneers in
that line and have the trade beyond per
adventure. What are the names of some of
these pianos? First, the Hardman, the chiet
favorites for their phenomenal durability,
great power and fullness of tone combined
with perfect action; following these are the
delicious Krakauers, which have everything
to commend them, and the A. B. Chase, the
Harrington and others. while the makes of
organs form a list in themselves. Then the
Aeolians hold a place distinctively their
own, for they are not only deservedly popu-
lar with organists, but are the solution Of
the puzzle of how to make music without
the requisite musical education. Verify
these statements at u Fifth avenue.

Annie Reu Takes Rough on Rats and Dies
Few Hours Later.
Annie Reu, pretty seamstress of 1860 Car
roll street, took rough-on-rats yesterday
afternoon and died soon after. She was just
20 years of age and the cause of her suicide
is not known. Yesterday morning she in
formed her parents that she was going to a
picnic at Silver Lake Grove in the afternoon
and shortly before noon she went out saying
she would be back in time for dinner. The
MONDAY meal was nearly over before she
returned Instead of sitting down to the
table she went upstairs, and remained so
long that her mother went up to ascertain
the cause. When Mrs. Reu entered her
room her daughter was lying on her bed
suffering great pain. and on being ques-
toned said she was sick, but would be better
in few moments.
The mother could get no satisfaction from
her as to the cause OF her sickness. She ad-
ministered various remedies until, at 8
o'clock in the afternoon, the girl was in such
a condition that DR.. McKibbon was sum-
moned. In the meantime the poison

girl representing that she desired to use it
for killing vermin.

CHILDREN In CLOVER.
A Day at the Exposition Enjoyed by
Hundreds of Little Folk.
HOW THEY PUT In THEIR TINE.
The First Holiday Increases the Attendance
Wonderfully.
SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL EXHIBITS

Yesterday was the first children's day at
the Exposition. ALI the pupils of the
Southside schools and all those of the
Central High School were privileged to be
present, and most of them went. The doors
were open at 9 o'clock, and at that time the
youngsters were ready to go in, many of
them waiting outside for the doors to open.
There were considerably over 1000 children
in the buildings during the day. They en-
joyed the sights in the Exposition, and it is
safe to say that more appreciative set of
visitors will never be in the Exposition
during the 40 days it is to remain open.
There are notices in every direction warn
ing people not to touch, but it was very
hard for the children to keep theirhands Off
some of the exhibits that seemed made on
purpose to be touched by infantile fingers.
The youngsters behaved themselves very
well on the whole. They were not more mis-
chievous than the average youngster is
everywhere, and the presence of their
teachers had q restraining effect that was
very beneficial.
1t was the desire of the management that
the children should leave at in the after
noon, but it was not an easy matter to get
them out They liked the show so much
that they seemed willing to stay all night If
they could. They had brought their dinners
with them, so they were not hungry, save in
a few cases, where the meal had been eaten
early in the day to avoid the trouble of car
rying the parcel around. However, the small
visitors were all gotten out at last, and then
the halls were left free for the immense
crowds that piled in for the evening enter
tainment.
1t was Labor Day, and being therefore
holiday there was q larger attendance than
on any previous day this season. Mr.. Cappa
exceiled himself with his band. He had pre-
pared n very strong programme, and the
music was thing of delight indeed. Among
told of the experience of a soldier in time of
war, and was so well arranged that it did
describe the incidents it was supposed to
illustrate.

Bringing Out Winter Garments.

The first indication of approaching winter
is the disappearance Of summer garments.
Only at rare intervals were straw hats ana
warm-weather suits to be seen on the streets
yesterday. The GOODNESS of the past few
days made summer comforts give way to
more substantial attire and the change is
very noticeable on the streets. The tenn
perature at present is somewhat below the
average for this time of year. Yesterday the
highest point the mercury reached was 75o
and the lowest 80 One year ago the highest
was $40 and the lowest 74o.

in wax attract universal attention, and they
have proven to be the subjects of much
favorable criticism.
