= IT seems to us that considerable
cheek would be required for the al
lance to ask or even expect demo-
cratic support in this county. The
democrats Were ignored entirely,
were not even consulted, although
many Of them supported the alliance
ticket last fall. Actions speak loud
er than words and the alliance by
their actions have said to the demo-
Gratis: "We do not need you, we do
not want you this time. y
Ingratitude is the basest Of crimes.
Last fall the democrats came to the
alliance rescue in this county and
made it possible for them to elect a
small portion of their ticket. Com
mon fairness would indicate that the
alliance reciprocate with their form,
er allies this time.

For those who are endeavoring to
make it appear that the alliance is
a non political organization we give
herewith the obligation Of the citi-
zen's alliance, a sort Of side show
to the main aggregation.
II, -, in the presence of God and
these witnesses, do hereby pledge myself
to this assembly that I do this day re-
nounce all allegiance to the old political
parties, and declare myself in full sym
patty with the Peoples party, the prlncl-
ples of which we're Endorsed by the
Farmers Alliance, and different labor or
canizations at st. Louis on the 9th day
OF December. 1889: and L furthermore
pledge to this assembly that [ will use
every honorable means in my power to
advance the interests Of this people,
party by inducing every man, both white
and black, to cast his vote for the peo,,
Piles ticket which is for the masses and
against the classes"
Comment is unnecessary. he
publicans, Democrats, American
citizens all, what do you think OF
such an organization? You might
well ask: "Whither are we drift

No state, or nation has a better
code of laws than Kansas and they
are all in the interest Of the people.
The republican party is responsible
for it all. Our exemption laws are
models of liberality. allowing a
homestead to the extent of 100 acres
to the head Of family, which can
not be alienated except by joint con.
sent of both husband and wife,
where that relation exists, besides
considerable in personal property
Under our punishment and attach
ment laws the earning of laborel
for three months are exempt from
execution. Our chattel mortgage
law protects the mortgagol
in every. possible manner, requir.
ing the wife to sign the mortgage
in order to make it'valid where the
property is Otherwise exempt BY
law. The mechanics lien law pro.
tects the mechanic to the fullest
possible extent. The railroads BY
act of legislature are made liable FOL
all damage done person or property
in consequence Of any neglect Of
the railroad companies. The eight
hour Law now in force in this STATE
originated in. and was first passed
by the senate. And yet calamity
leaders boldly assert that there has
not been a single act of legislator
In the interest Of the laborine
classes for twenty-five years. The

THE Alliance doesn't demand
quite as much as they did a year ago.
Then they thought they had the
mower and at once became naughty
and arrogant. As they growweaker
they know more. They now make
pathetic appeals which would have
been much wiser course in the
beginning.

|. By their fruits ye shall know
them and by their actions thew
shall be judged. The alliance had
control of the Kansas legislature in
1891. Let us see how they re-
deemed their pledges to the people.
In this connection we wish to ask a.
few questions.
Why didn't you pass the senate
bill compelling insurance companies
to pay the full face of policies when
PROPERTY was burned?
Why didn't you pass the Senate
stay law providing that a farmer
should not be foreclosed for the
next two years if he paid his taxes
and interest. Was it because you
wished to repudiate the mortgage
debt entirely?
Why didn't you pass the senate
fee and salary bill?
Why didn't you pass the senate
free school book bill if you wanted
to give the people cheaper books?
Why didn't you cut down the
number of Judicial districts from
thirty-five to twenty-five?
Why didn't you pass the senate
bill which required the board OF
railway assessors to assess all rail-
road property IN the state at its true
value?
Why didn't you pass the senate
printing bill which would have saved
upwards of $4,000 per annum to
the tax payers Of Kansas? Was it
not because member of the alliance
was elected state printer and for no
other reason?
These bills were all passed by the
senate. You had 90 out of l25
members in the house. You could
have passed every one Of these bills
in the interest Of the people. We
ask again: Why didn't you pass
those bills? Were you seduced by
railroad passes etc.-or were you dis
honest in protestations before you
were elected? You are before the
hiShest tribunal now that Of the
people. What is your answer?
What did you do? This is the
hardest question of them all. Echo
answers, what! Outside Of receiv-
J ing your per diem and mileage
J you accepted free transportation
what did you do?
In view Of all these facts, is ii
possible that you will again come
before the people as reform party
and expect them to believe you:
You have been weighed in the bal
, ance of public opinion and found
; entirely wanting. We have given
: but a few facts, but enough to con-
| vince the most skeptical that the
; pretences of the so-called leaders Of
the so-called peoples party are only
I a hollow mockery. All there is il
; it is an opportunity presented for ;
l few place hunters and schemins
demagogues who have been KICKED
= out of the old parties.

very pun iCdioh.
In former issue we gave it as
our opinion that the alliance never
could become a national party. In
the first place we insist that it is
impossible, for the reason that the
organization is composed of a heter-
ogeneous iconglomeration of classes,
whose interests are not identical and
never can be, and hence the elements
Of discord are present from It's IN
ception and never can be reconciled.
Their interests are Numerically
opposite. The alliance makes war
on the railroads. Already railroad
employees all over the state are bit
terly denouncing the alliance.
They say: "You cripple the rail-
roads and we must suffer on account
Of reduction Of wages" Those who
work in the shops say: 'The cardl-
nal doctrine of our platform is to
make everything we consume dearer.
That is not In our interest. The
fact is that it is class legislation
throughout. It is not in the in
terest Of the laboring man general
ly. 1t will lower our wages and in
crease the price of our living with
out any corresponding benefits.
Again, the sub treasury scheme
offers no inducements to US. We
have no products to sell, and we
have no real estate, but we will all
be taxed higher for your benefit. "
This is the way labor in the cities
view the alliance doctrine. 1t is
impossible, from the nature Of things
to form national party or to keep
these discordant elements together
Again, there is nothing in their plat.
form upon which a national party
can be predica ted. Not one half Of
the alliance members believe in the
sub-treasury scheme. Some Of the
state alliances have already repud.
lated that plank in their platform
and outside Of Kansas, we believe
they will all do it sooner or later
Eliminate that chimerical id ei

there must be live, living issue.
What is the issue? There can be
but one answer, Office! Disinte-
grafton has already begun. There
IS not county in Kansas where the
alliance is as strong as it was a year
AGO. There is no longer any en-
thusiasm. Desertions are numerous
and those who still remain are in
| different, except the place hunters.
Lock around you and see if this isn't
true. Notice those who are promi-
nent in this county. Every. one Is
lodging Office. These are plain
statements but they are verified
every day. Like the Grange, Green
back party. and other similar or
foundations, the alliance has about
run its course where it was once
the strongest. In other localities
they never can even gain. q foothold.
It IS nonsense to talk of the. alliance
ever becoming a national party.
Then why allow yourselves to be
deluded longer. Why allow these
place hunters to use you. as cats
paws any longer. Assert your man
hood now and throw off the
shackles.

The Great Cause.
Selected.

We seldom take up newspaper but we
see where some kind hearted person has Of
fered some good suggestions towards aiding
in the reformation of prisoners; but before
crime can be successfully treated it is first
necessary to treat its origin. as it never
comes of itself. but is produced by troubles
elsewhere, either physical, moral. or fnan-
.cial. And here let us look at one of the
greatest causes and abettOrs of crime. and
we will not only find it the cause of IS per
cent of the crimes committed against sOci-
ETY.. but we will find it to be one of the
greatest distractions in the pathway of ref
ormatiOn. What is this cause? What do
the prison records of every state prison in
America say? Here it is in one word, I'm
temperance"
Ever since apples. grapes and wheat grew
the world has been tempted to unhealthful
Stimulants, but the intOxicants of Olden
times were an innocent beverage as COM
pared with the modern inebrating liquids
into which Madness fury, fire and a
suicide have mixed and mingled. While
we must acknowledge that some of the an
cient arts have been lost. the Christian Era
is far ahead of all others in the bad emf
nence of intoxicating drink. The modern
drink is hundred fold worse than the an
cient drink. The victims of modern alchO-
hOlism have to struggle with whole men
ageries of wild animals and jungles of his
sing Serpents. Drunkenness is the greatest
evil of Onr nation and it takes no long log
ical process 70 prove that drunken nation
cannot long be free nation. Drunkenness
is not subsidng-certanly it is not at
standStill-but that it is on the onward
march, daily dragging it's victims down to
misery and crime is sure, where there was
one drunken home there are ten drunken
homes; where there was ten drunkardS'
graves, there are twenty drunkards' graves
L do not care which way you look in the
community to-day the evil is increasing.
and there are thousands of people born with
thirst for strong drink, fact too often
ignored. Along some ancestral lines there
runs the river of temptation. and ask, is
there no remedy? Is there no way by
which these unfOrtunates can be protected
from the evil? Drunkenness and free in
stitutiOns are fast coming into death grap-
pie.
How many are there waiting to see if some
thing cannot be done? There are thousands
of drunkards who cannot travel in any di.
rectiOn ten minutes without having the
temptation glaring before their eyes. How
many mothers are there waiting to see If
something cannot be done? How many
wives are there waiting for domestic rescue?

Children and Conversation.

Among the m ost frequently denied rights
of children is that to fair share in the
conversation. "Children should be seen,
not heard" is one of the cruelest maxims 81
arrogant selfshness.
If your child is courteous-and it is your
own fault if he is not-why should he not
have his little say and ask his curious qnes
tions concerning the subjects talked. about
at the dinner table or in the sitting room?
He is hungrier for information than for his
meals and has as good right to the intel.
lectual as to the physical nOurishment.
And who are you that you should do all
the talking. cOndemning him to eat in
silence or to sit mute while things that
eagerly interest him are talked about? 1t is
really not of much consequence whether
you talk or not. but it is of great moment
that he shall talk. You have probably
nothing of any Importance to say at any
rate, and it is only that absurd thing. your
dignity. or that wicked thing your nervous
irritability, that prompts you to mOnOpOlize
the conversation.
The child. on the other hand, has some.
thing of Importance to say. He has his
hungry question to ask. The world is all
new and wonderful to him and he wants to
know about it. You have said something
which he does not quite understand, or
which opens new mental vista to him, and
he wants to ask you about it. The asking
is education to him in the art of expression,
and your answer. if you be wise and kindly.
is education in other ways. He has right
to ask. and 1t is your duty to answer as
carefully and as fully as you can. His ed
ucatiOn. the expansion of his intellect, the
shaping OF his character-all these are in
vOlved in your recognition of his right to a
share in the conversation. and they are of
Importance not only to him but to the COM
munity of which he is presently to be a
part.
But aside from all this, the loss is great
to you and to all who sit at your board if
the alert and eager little minds of the chill
dren are repressed under rule of silence.
Their talk is amusing. interesting and often
instructive. 1t is good for them and for
their elders. It tends to jollity and good
cheer. Where it is permitted their is good
comradeship between parent and child, and
there is nothing better for the soul of man
than cOmradeship with child. 1t keeps the
mind alert and the spirit sweet and clean.
There is something radically wrong about
the man whose child is not the best and
most intimate friend he has.-N. Y. World.

with that wOman's home. 1t is not SO
much the blow on the head that hurts as
the blow on the heart. But after a few
thousands more of our homes are despOilea
by the rum traffic chen something may be
done. Inebriation strikes at the hearts, M
the best homes in America. Some say it tS
worse in the North than it is in the South.
worse in the East than it is in the Wesk
but there is not an American river into
which it's tears have not fallen and into
which its suicides have not plunged. What
has Smitteb the streets OF every village,
town and city on this continent with a
moral peStilence? What has been the cause
of the downfall and ruin of so many thou
sands of young men? What has turned the
homes of so many poor men into schools OF
vice for their little children and colleges OF
crime for the young men and women who
grew up in the midst of their contaminat
ing surroundings? Daily we hear voices
coming up from all over the. land pleading
for protection from the evil.
Drunkenness in the lead, murder, theft.
and abOminatiOn bringing up the rear, peO
pie may cry prison reform until the last
sound of the trumpet is heard. They may
send ministers to preach seven times week
and supply each prisoner daily with thou
sand religious tracts, and all to no avail so
long as the deadly poison is for all. Close
up the whisky dens of every city. town, and
village and then you can close the state
prisons and police stations, and one police
man will then accomplish the work which
it now takes twenty to accomplish.
