There was some little complaint about

THE ALLIANCE.

Republican organs that are now so
greatly worried by the portentous ac-
tivity in Alliance circles, seek to min
imize the effect thereof by derisive al
lusions to the character of the plain
and unsophisticated people who make
up the rank and file OF that organiza-
ton. The leaders OF it are likewise
stigmatized as raw. incapable and in
experienced, as well as insincere and
corrupt. 1t is true that the leaders
are not, as rule, men who in the past
sought political honors or figured as
statesmen. That was left to those
whose ambition carried them into
either OF the two parties through
which alone lay the avenues to individ-
ual success and advancement. The
leaders of the Alliance are not trained
politicians, because they have in the
past devoted their lives to more hum
bic occupations. But that does not de-
tract from, on the contrary it enhances
the merit of their cause, since it proves
that they have lost confidence in the
men whose lead they followed since the
war, and are driven in self-defence to
assume leadership that is thrust upon
them by the voices of robbed and
plundered constituency.
Was it shrewd political management
or just popular indignation that
hurled ingalls, from his high station in
the senate and installed PETER in his
stead? Where was the leadership in
that struggle? Not one man prominent
in Kansas politics sided with the peo-
pie. They needed no such leaders.
They led themselves as they will do
again when the necessity arises, and
when they know just what they want
PETER was no politician, no leader, any
more than Sockless Simpson was, who
had never been heard Of up to the Se-
ginning of the fight that brought him
into public notoriety. Some of the AL
lance leaders may be corrupt. bit are

OF Providence is that he shall grow old and

1t Is pleasant thought that under the

encouragement of scientific research, there
has been discovered and perfected a

DEAD THRER DAYS LATER.
Under date of March IL the late Law
renee Barrett wrote to his friend, Mr.. John
w. Albaugh, the following letter:
New YORK, March Il, 1921.
DEAR JoHS--Yours received. You will
hold January 9, 1923, in Baltimore and jan
uary 10 and 90 in Washington for me. Glad
to hear all goes well. We are on the high
way to success here. Edwin Booth grows
stronger as he works and I am also q Her
cules. Your friend, LAWRENCE BARRETT.
This man, who described himself as "a
Hercules - was dead three days later of
one OF the c0mmonest of human ailments.
Surely striking. and impressive illustra-
ton of the uncertainty of human life.
MIR. Barrett, although in the enjoyment
Of an ample income from his profession,
and which, no doubt, enabled him TO make
handsome savings, was not unmindful of
the value of life assurance, as the policies
paid at his death testified.
l. Is painful to contrast with the prudence
thus displayed by the poor PLAYER the ut
ter lack of it in the Justice" who has also
lately ''play ed his part" and who now ''is
seen no more" II has been subject of
comment in the newspapers that the late
Judge Miller Of the supreme court of the
United States has left his aged widow
with house ever her head, to be sure, but
with such slender means that she will
have to make hard struggle to enable her
to retain this shelter. Mindful of the charit-
able adage, de mortuis nil nisi bonum, the
reader is left to his own reflections on this
deplorable condition of affairs, in the hope
that the lessons inculcated in these two
cases may cot go disregarded by him.

SOME PUBLIC DEBTS,

Compilations by the census bureau OF
foreign public debts, credit France
with funded Indebtedness of nearly
four and half billions in 1890, figure
that is believed to be one and a half
billions short of the actual total indebt-
edness. Russia owed in the same year
about three and half billions, Great
Britain trifle less than that sum,
Austria less than three billions, and
Italy about five hundred millions less
than Austria. The per capita indebt-
edness runs as follows: France s116.35,
the Netherlands 1856, Great Britain,
sS7.79, Italy s76.66, Austria s7O.4 and
Belgium S63.10 Our own national debt
is considerably less than a billion, the
per capita being Sligo. Contrary to
our expectations it is found that the
public debt OF Germany is only 1871
719, or 81 per capita.

Special TO the Gazette.
TERRELL, TEX, May 30-Porter Thomp-
son, colored, was this morning sent to the
county poor farm. He had been disturbing
the peace. He has been up several times.
Charley Rudisin was buried at 10 q. N.
to-day in the city cemetery. Quite crowd
of people attended the funeral. Mrs Rob-
erts, mother of Charley RudiSin, arrived
from Garland Friday night and was with
him during his last hours. When he began
to sink he succumbed rapidly, and within a
few hours breathed lis last. The funeral
was q sad one indeed No statement was
obtained from him after he was shot, at no
time being in proper state Of mind 10
make one. The grand jury is in possession
OF the evidence and will probably
consider the same Monday next
on reassembling. Anyhow, further
news will be obtained only after the grand
jury's report. Both parties are well known
here. Rudisiu was raised here, and had
many strong friends. He was young
man, muscular and stout. Baker Haskins
has been living in Terrell for about four
teen years with the exception of occasional
brief trips West. Both parties h.-e strong
friends, and of course different views are
held concerning the difficulty.
4 female patie-S pulled the iron grating
from an asylum window yesterday evening
and jumped to the ground, breaking her
arm. The relatives of the young lady have
been notified by the asylum authorities.

AN ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.

Does the Alliance believe, in addi-
ton to its other beliefs, that the pension
extravaganza, which now costs the
country above 500, oO0,O 900 a year,
should be added to by almost doub-
ling it?
That appears to be the view held by
Mr.. J. H. Davis of Texas, which won
such wild applause in the Cincinnati
Peoples party convention. Mr.. Davis,
as he quotes himself in letter to THE
GAZETTE, said: 81 believe it is nothing
but fair that the brave soldier who
barred his breast to the storm of Con-
federate bullets should have his pay
roll brought to par with gold"
That is. as the bounty and service of
the soldiers was paid in greenbacks,
which were then at a discount, we
should ''equalize" things by paying
them now the difference between the
value OF gold and greenbacks during
the war.
The greediest pension sharks hardly
dare to hope that the country will ever
commit itself to this boundless extrav-
agance, which the Third party appears
TO indorse in the same breath that it
demands that taxation shall be limited
to the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent, economically administered.

Good Words for Texas.
Chicago Herald.

Director-General Davis, Promoter-Gen-
eral Handy, Traffic Manager Jaycox. and
in fact all of the officials who went to Texas
to help Secretary Dickinson launch a
Worlds fair association, speak in the most
enthusiastic terms of the outlook in that
state. 1.-The people of Texas seemed to app
preciate particularly the personal appear
ance of the director-general at their cdn-
vention,'' said Maj. Handy, ''and were prp-
fuse in their expressions of appreciation.
On the night OF our arrival we were hanL
somely entertained at a dinner by the,
Chamber of Commerce of Fort Worth.
About fifty gentlemen were at the table.
including eli the prominent business men OF
Fort Worth and vicinity, and the mayors
of Fort Worth, Dallas, Waco and other
thrifty Texas cities, and prominent MEN,
bers of the legislature. Speeches, which
seemed to give great deal of satisfaction,
were made by the Chicago party. The re-
sponses of President Hurley, Commissioner
EXall, the mayors and others, We're unani-
nous and enthusiastic in behalf of ener-
getic effort and liberal subscription to the
end that Texas, despite the failure of her
legislators to make an appropriation,
shall be in the front rank with
q state exhibit at the exposition
The convention, next day, was
remarkably representative gathering
Many millions Of personal wealth and the
public spirit of every live Texas community
were represented. The speech of Secretary
Dickinson, which was carefully prepared
and offered well considered plan of organ
ization, was heard with great enthusiasm.
The director eneral-maps before him and
with staff in hand-then told the audience
in detail all that could be told of the char
acteristics OF the exposition, the character
of buildings and financial status and re-
sources of the enterprise and the grounds
upon which he based the assertion that the
Chicago exposition would be the greatest
the world ever saw. Judge Thoman con-
cludad our demonstration by very eloquent
appeal to the state and national pride of
Texans. and argued forcibly as to the educa-
tional advantages of the exposition. The
convention, with absolute unanimity,
adopted plan of organization and devised
method of popular subscription, which no
doubt will assure the representation of
Texas TO an amount not less than a half
million of dollars" The expenses of the
Texas trip were borne by the local board.
except those of Director-General DaviS,
who paid his own way No part Of the ex-
pense was borne by the Illinois Central
railroad, as was intimated in a morning
paper yesterday.

The Democrats will not and should not
give the speakership to Republican state.
Mr.. Springer is not really in the race.
Georgia, Texas, or some other state near
their latitude will and ought to obtain it,

OF course the Globe-Democrat wants
a Southern man to have the speaker
ship. The Third party is playing the
devil with maiorities in Republican
states, and the Globe-Democrat and
other bloody shirt organs hope to be
able TO arouse the loil states and fire
the Northern breast by pointing to the
speakership as proof of what the ''Con-
federates" win do if Democracy should
regain complete national ascendancy.

1T is generally recognized by Repub-
licans that the third party movement
will do its deadliest work in the North
west, and that its ravages in the South
will be trifing. The admission is a
painful and reluctant one, and there
fore all the more significant. On
questions OF national politics the people
OF the South stand together in most
exemplary manner. Political quack-
cry is INDUCED as a merry past time
only within narrow limits.

.NuArEvER else of CRITICISM men NAV

WHATEVER else of criticism men may
wish TO indulge of the Alliance let this be
set down TO Its credit: The Alliance has
educated the farmer to think and talk. and
if the politician imagines that appeals to the
past will longer hold men in part;
line let him look to Hampton, Gordon and
ingalls, and be convinced that the people arc
aroused to the need of legislation for men
now on the earth and the gold bug and tar
if baron must go" The foregoing is an ex-
cellent example of the style of the press of
the state Democracy The opening lines
OF THF GAZETTE paragraph are all that
could be desired. The Alliance has taught
the farmer TO think and speak for himself,
and it is good thing that this is so. Not
content, however, with its altogether ad-
mirable statement, The GAZETTE must
needs add that 1.-The gold-bug and the tariff
baron must 60" BY ''gold-bug" it means
any opponeptto the free and unlimited coiu-
age OF silver. To where is he going? BY
tariff baron" it means the American man

he goes, what becomes of the hundreds of
thousands of his workmen and the COM
munities to which he is blessing2 THE
GAZETTE needs man with long, fat blue

BY the gold bug and tariff baron are
meant those who favor a restrictive.
limited financial system and protec-
tive tariff. The financial and tariff
systems have been formed and admins
tered in the interest of the few. They
must go, for they bear more heavily on
the farmer than on any other class.

Interest Manifested in Texas.

they were convinced that the Lone Star
state would make splendid exhibit. ''The
men in the convention represented Sl5,-

thusiasm is something remarkable. Why
they intend to spend $500, 600 on a building
alone. This will be raised by private sub
scriptions to the capital stock of the asso-
citation formed and the counties will raise
500, 900 more for an exhibit They intend
to construct as fine building as the one

about their doing it, 1

| there none but saints in the two old
parties?
The truth of the matter is, the agri.
cultural and laboring classes have
found out that they have not received
and are not now receiving their share
OF the fruits of their laoor. Leaders
or no leaders, they mean to have a
change in the methods of distribution.
Where a general and widespread
agreement exists to that end, the ques-
ton of able leadership is of minor i'm
portance. When il is seen that 9,000,-
900 farms are mortgaged, and that, too,
in country without standing army,
with no entangling alliances, no
exhausting public debt, ana none of
the burdensome accessories that accom-
pany monarchial form of government,
is it any wonder that the farmers,
upon whom all the taxes fall in the end,
should rebel en- masse and demand
more considerable treatment?
Great social movements like the Ali
ance do not exist without cause. There
Is reason for it as there is for the
tides OF the ocean. And no derisive
taunts or hooking illusions to the
personnel or the leaders of it can in
Jure that cause or stay its progress.
There is but one way to do that, which
is to redress the grievances OF the OPP
pressed farmers,

exact q heavy price for them. So, if
land, instead Of bonds, were the basis
OF security, it would be necessary for
the subscribers or the corporation to
buy land as condition precedent to
the issuance of charter for doing bust
ness. Whenever an unusual demand
for thing springs up, that thing is
more readily sold and at higher
price.
Looking at the Gibbs system from
this point, it ought to enlist the sup
port OF the landholders of the country.
