VIII De- made public the assembling Of the Legs
r,tYr. tn.uorroV Th, committee drafted seven
nou blanks. which are now being discussed by the
sinh Alliances throughout the state and they are being
generally adopted rs the reports to the headquarters
IN this city show.
The first and most important Of all is an instruction
f. every member 81 the Legislature elected by the
Alliance 10 vote against John j. ingalls, for United
state, senator. This IS Imperative demand. and
IT. is given out that such Alliance members as are
considered doubtful Will be hcdgci about 10y home
irnucncc,.r These Influences will consist ot five or
six home uclghb0r, who Will be detailed To Keep watch
oyer IN. member aud that he is kept away from
Contemplating Republicans Who are looking AROUND
for few Alliance vote, FOR senator ingalls,.
An extension Of the stay law To- a period Of two
years b., the second recommendation. This measure
,,i D., pushed by the Alliance. but bitterly opposed
by tlc Ecuullican senate aud Republican members
II, the House such "A law would seriously cripple the
credit Of the state. aud would be the cause Of with
drawing many thousand, Of dollars now Invested In
farm mortgages. The injury which would come from
such legislation would affect the farmers more than
any other class.
Another radical measure IS recommended Ii IS
REDEMPTION law giving the mort gagor three years in
which to redeem lands not exceeding 80 acres sold
under foreclosure This measure VIII be strehu0lsly
opposed by the Republicans who viii BE- reinforced by
a powerful lobby composed OF men who have thousands
of dollars invested In Kansas securities.
The chattci mortgage law Is to be- revised. and law
recurring the mortgage 10 pay his proportionlto
uar ~ the taxes. II Is not thought that the Kcpub
cans Will offer objections to this measure.
The sixth recommendation will meet with the united
opposition OF every banker and money loancr In the
state ~ well as from Eastern investors who hold
equity I'm Kansas lands 10 the value OF hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars. In this the committee demands
reduction of the rate of interest to six per cent
straight with penalty OF forfeiture OF principal and
interest for It's violation Such law would drive
money lenders out Of the State to localities where
the laws are equitable and the result would be

POINTS ON CARDS.
A Few Easy but Important Questions
About Whist Answered.

Enthusiastic was reading an carly edi-
ton of Pole the other day, in which he
says that in opening your long suit you
should lead the lowest But the other
night when 1 was playing with fellow
from Boston he insisted upon my leading
what he called the fourth best" What
did he mean?
Answer-He meant that he wanted you
to play the American game, which has now
been adopted by English players and in
corporated into the English rules. The
reason why he wanted you to play the
fourth best was so that he could tell by this
and your after play just how many cards
of that suit you held originally The
fourth best must necessarily be the
fourth card from the top of the
suit. If afterward you throw off
two cards lower than this he knows that
you must have held six originally; if you
throw off only one you must have held FIVE
and if you do not throw off any that you
held four, and the first card you played
WIS the lowest.
Enthusiast begin to understand, so if
you led originally two spot it shows your
partner at once that the longest suit you
have has only four cards. and that you
haven't much of hand anyway. But
suppose it is necessary for me to lead from
high card first, then what do do?
Answer-When you do play low card;
play the original fourth best. Where you
have suit of five headed by the ace you
play the ace first, and then the fourth best,
or the card next to the lowest.
Enthusiast-Still it seems to me that
this rule does not convey enough good for
+of% -
/ should say that it takes too long to
convey the information. For instance,
suppose have a long suit of six l lead
originally my fourth best, and this first
trick is taken by my partner, who returns
his suit and the second trick is taken by
our opponents, who succeed in holding the
lead three or four tricks more. In the
mean time half of the game has been played
and my fourth best lead hasn't done par
ticle of good. Indeed, my partner would
have to have phenomenal memory to
know what card 1 had played
Answer-You forget one thing. 1t is
not so much what cards you follow the
fourth best with as the simple fact that
you play it which conveys the informa-
ton. If you have six cards and play the
fourth best, it is not necessary for you to
play the Two cards lower than that IN Or
der to show your partner that you held six
originally, simply because the fall of the
cards on the first round will go far to show
this. For instance, you hold O., 10, s, 4, 8,
2 You lead Thea Your partner knows that
your opponents, if they throw of, viii throw
off the lowest cards they have unless they
are signalling). For instance, you lead the
4, your left hand opponent plays the 6,
your partner the ace and your right hand
opponent the Z. Now it takes no extraor-
binary genius on your partners part to tell
that you must have the and 2. Of course
where your opponents take the trick there
is always some doubt about one card.
Nevertheless the lead of the fourth best
in itself, as you viii see upon reflection, is
a valuable medium of information.
