Tho fight against the alliance is
gradually but surely drifting 10 Wall
street aud tho east. The wires have
been pulled from that locality all the
time. but the contest is getting so
earnest that the sources OF the opposi-
tion are being unoovored.-National

II makes us sick TO see in christian
papers lacdatory notices Of the charita-
blelyl contributions OF men like Armour
OF Chicago, or Roclsafeller OF Cleve-
| land, men who are known TO have got
ten the larger part Of their wealth
without earning and by tho forced
losses Of others. s.-Tabor, Iowa, Beacon.
When the politicians OF the recent
coBs ess reached home they discoveded
| TO their surprise that the alliance had
been at wo.k during their absence.
! They found out also that the average
member OF the alliance was thoroughly
acquainted with the business congress
had done as well as that which IL had
| neglected. These gentlemen further
| learned that as factor In politics gar
den seeds and patent office reports had
been eliminated. They became pain
fully aware that nothing but square,
honest work on lines parallel TO the de-
mands OF the alliance wilr answer In
the future. The alliance school-house

Tho microbc that has caused such an
alliance epidemic has been discovered
IL is Of the species plu-toc-ra-cy. There
are two principal varieties classified
under this species es-repub-plu-toc-ra
and demo-Dlu-toc-ra-cy. The expert
mental application OF remedies was
tested quite successfully ON the 4th day
OF November last. The result was ycTy
satisfactory: and on the 9th OF January
the efficiency OF these remedies was
fully demonstrated. There seems now
to be a kind OF epidemic fungus infect
ing the animals themselves, similar in
its effect to that which Prof. Snow has
applied TO the chinch bug; and there is
no doubt that in 1892 these microbes
will be so nearly exterminated as To
render them entirely harmless IL will
be necessary, however, TO keep the
remedy on hand for long time TO come
to guard against any,regeneration Of the
~ kept in every family. The remedy
will be furnished from this office TO
each family at one dollar year with
full directions for use II is warranted
to extcrminate the microbe II used ac-
cording to directions, or money refund

Senator German recently gave ut
trance In the United States senate to
the following truths: I'VE stand to-
day, Mr. President, on a volcano. The
farmers OF the land are meeting and re-
solving there is danger and trouble, II
not starvation among them. The labor
Of the country appeals TO the admins
tratiOn and TO congress TO stay the aw-
ful wreck. T ie faces OF the merchants
ard bankers are blanched with fear.
No man can tell whether tomorrow or
next day, every bank in the great cen.
tres OF commerce may be closed by sus-
pension OF payment. Let us take up
matters which all classes OF our fellow
citizens are looking TO us TO consider"
Better late than never But we
would like TO ask the senator this ques-
tion: When did you find out that we
are standing on a volcano? Where
have you been all these wears? Yes.
there is danger and starvation" and
great trouble in the land, and instead
Of sounding the alarm in the peoples
ears in time TO save them. YOU have
been too cowardly 20 speak out until
the fuming lava begins TO scorch your

Tho people have mighty little sympa-
thy for such men as you, or confidence |
In your utterances. Sometimes we
know you tell the truth, as in the pres |
ent instance, but you have lived a lie |
so long we propose to watch you closely, |
no matter what you say. We don't be- |
lieve in death-bed political repentance.
The best we can do is TO take such men

years we will conclude that the con-
