Mr.. Willetts, of Kansas, the National
Lecturer of the Alliance was next intro
duced. He is a pleasant talker, and
interspersed his speech of three hours
with anecdotes that amused the crowd.
have not the space for an abstract of
his speech. He said it was little re-
markable that Kansas jayhawker
should be addressing South Carolina
audience; but they had learned away
up in Kansas that the war was over
and that the Alliance had made all
men brothers. He said the Alliance
was not a political organization, but
was organized simply to advance the
interests of the farmers. But the farm
ers want more money and less misery.
The great opposition to the farmers
demands comes from the money power.
The government has been moved from
Washington to Wall Street, New
York
He urged the farmers to send
farmers to represent them in
Congress. The reason of the depres-
sion among the agriculturlsts was the
deliberate attempt Of European Jews
to conquer America with the money
power. He denounced the national
banking system and quoted from Mr.
Chase, the father of the system, to
show that he himself said it was the
financial mistake Of his life. 1t has
shrunk all values. The need Of the
hour was more money in circulation.
The sub-treasury was urged as the
remedy for the ills Of the farmers. It
would give a flexible currency and
money to move the crops. 1t will do
away with gambling in futures. We
do not insist on the details of the bill as
now proposed but want the adoption
into some bill the principles involved.
Mr.. Willetts received attention and
was frequently applauded. He said he
had been Republican for twenty-sIx
years, and was now member OF the
Alliance.

Old Butter.

1t is a matter of wonderment to many
what becomes Of the tons upon tons of
dairy butter piled up year after year in
the wholesale grocery stores and com
mission houses of our cities, and which
the average American would not allow
on his table. 1.-THE poorer the butter
the further it goes" said large butter
dealer of this city, as he packed rolls and
prints of various colors and sizes in a
sugar barrel lined with butter cloths.
THAT expresses it in more ways than
one. Good butter always finds a ready
market here at home; it never goes beg
ging for buyers at any time of the year,
but packing grade goes to the end of the
earth. The contents of this barrel will
go to South America"
mot just as it is?'
"No; it will undergo manipulation.
The firm to whom this is to be shipped
melt down this grade of butter and pack
it in glass jars. BY the time it reaches
South American port it is of about the
same consistency as olive oil. The South
Americans use it on their bread as we
use butter. A large proportion of pack
ing stock shipped from the northwest
goes ultimately to European countries. e

LEAVING SICK BEHIND.

Scanley's Column Are Obliged to Desert
Their Dying Comrades.
Early next morning Stanley started of
with his company, promising to clear .
path as well as he could in order to en-
eble us to carry the boat sections through
the thick underground. Stairs, Parke
end then made careful examination
4 Of the men and loads, and found that we
should be obliged to leave ffty-ix men
and eighty-one loads behind Many of
the men were so cowed and hopeless that
| they wished only to be left to die peace
| fully where they were.
But any man who was at all able to
crawl along we passed as fit to travel,
and those ffty-six men we left were near
ly all in the last stage of starvation and
sickness. At any rate, we thought that
| their chances of getting food would be
better if they came with US, and nothing
could be gained by remaining where they
were.
We had great difficulty in getting the
| men off with the loads, and it was past
midday before the last of the caravan
| fled out of what is now known as Mel
sons starvation camp. find the fol-
lowing words in my journal that morn
ing:
st is truly terrible position for Mel
son to be left in; he has food only for
three days, and will have to exist on
what he can pick up in the shape Of
fungi or roots. Stairs has left him a
fish hook and line, and it Is possible he
may get a few small fish, but the river is
so rapid and full of powders that he has
but a slight chance of catching any
thing.
Meantime we are going OF with an
exhausted and starving column to try
and find food in a trackless wilderness.
Nelson is now so crippled from ulcers
that he cannot creep far from camp, and
will have to depend entirely upon what
his two boys can manage to bring him.
eve got off about two o'clock, and
sadly said goodby to poor old Nelson,
for his position is very precarious and
our chances of relieving him small: he
has worked with us in good fellowship
all these months, and now we are prac-
tically abandoning him. "A. J. Noun

Personal Note by Editor

We have travelled few miles in our life
time, and know what it is to be uncom-
fortably housed in a poorly upholstered
car and rudely tossed up and down on old
iron rails that are laid on dirt road bed
We have been there; but it was always on
other roads than the Santa Fee. Their main
line between Chicago and Denver is hard
to beat The rails are of heavy steel, the
track smooth and rock ballasted; and the
through "Cannonball'' train that flies at
a fifty -miles-per-h speed over this ele-
CANT roadway is as pretty bit of work
manship as Messrs. Pullman ever turned
out. Each vestibule sleeper is a model of
luxury, and as easy as a cradle Chair
cars, library cars, and day coaches are all
carefully adapted to the travellers every
want. The Santa Fe is rightly named
the most comfortably line" 90

Old and Young Great Men.

Great as have been some men who died
young, who knows how much greater
they would have been had their lives
been prolonged. Might not Marlowe
have rivaled Shakespeare? Yet possibly
Byron had already given us his best,
and Shelley and Keats might not have
surpassed their early efforts.
Had the author of ''Festus" died at 90
there would have been lamentation as
over Keats, but Bailey has lived half a
century longer without producing Sec
ond poem. Tasso, though he lived twen-
ty years after Jerusalem Delivered"
never equaled that epic, written at 81.
Still there are men whose longevity
has certainly stood for much. Michael
Angelo showed astonishing precocity,
but he owes to his eighty-nine years his
great renown as painter, sculptor and
sonneteer. Voltaire's fame, again, rests
on the entirety of his writings, not on
any single work, and the literary dicta-
torship with which age invested him.
Cut off twenty years of his life, and his
fame would perceptibly shrink. Goethe,
Emerson, Carlyle, Longfellow, Tenny-
son, Hugo, Dumas-all had the advan-
tage of fullness of years, so as to be
judged by bulk as well as quality. Hum
boldt, too, owed to his ninety years a
portion of his reputation.
The true comparison would obviously
be between works produced at the same
age, or between men dying at about the
same age, but it is much easier to test
achievement than capacity. Perhaps the
best books Gin posse) have never been
written, and we often feel that the men
knows, moreover. what geniuses have
died in childhood?-Atlantic Monthly.

Ingerson on California

In2ersou on California
In a recent magazine article, Mr.. Ernes'
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
s'The climate of Southern California u
winter closely resembles that of Egypt
Its equability Is constant, and its dryrese
is proverbial The only complaint made j:
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from superfuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the In
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still, arid atmosphere is as the breath OF
lifen
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.

Maine No Longer the Pine Tree State

living IN Bangor, at the age of So years
He went there on foot with a pack On
his back and only $3.50 in his pocket in

wealthy citizens. Times have changed"
as they say. since Mr.. Trickey began his
operations. Maine was really the Pine
Tree State then. In eight years Mr.
Tricky cut 30, 0o0, COO feet of pine On
land that now constitutes the towns Of
Carmel, henduskeag and Levant, where
hardly a pine is TO be seen. At that
time there were no roads. and all the
provisions were taken up the river il
