The Farmer.' Alliance.

In the November elections the farmers
of the country did not show the strength
at the polls which they manifested as q
new political force a year ago. Many
reasons have been and will yet be as
signed for this apparent falling off.
Senator John Morgan in November
Forum, seemed to ~foreshadow the re
suit, which he laid to misplaced conf
dence in political leaders. Others say
the slump is due to the realization of 'the
absurdity Of the Ocala wild cat plat
FORM" and still others claim that the
years heavy crops are responsible; that
the farmer never kicks when his cribs
are full. You pays your money and

NJ. 7. Benham came IN yesteroay irom
Silver Crown where With a party oil
three misers he IS prospecting Tor coal.
The work is beng done on the t1llebrown
ranch near Table mountain. Several
drifts have been started into the
mountain side. The one in which the
miners are working is in about fifteen feet.
The ~outcropping is a slate shale under
laid with a solid slate in which there is a
streak of soap stone. The soap stone Is
saturated with petroleum. The slate 10
which the drift is now being worked has
all the characteristics of that found with
the developed veins of hard coal in the
various coal fields of the country. The
veins pitch at an angle of about forty five
degrees. If coal is struck, which all the
indications seem to point will be the case.
1t can be worked very chosply as much OF
the coal will be above water level.

NEW HERALD BuIDING.
An Evidence of Great Newspaper Sue
cess IN chicago.

Chicago Inter ocean,
The cost of the new Herald building
and ground is said to approximate $780,
600 in round numbers. Hardly a greater
architectural contrast can he imagined than
that between the old and rev homes of
that paper. When the publication was
begun in its old building, at No. 100
Fifth avenue, in 1881, all the mechanical
and editorial work was lone on two floors;
the paper did not aver have a press of its
own till several months after its birth;
the press work was done outside. But
as the business grew and expanded it
spread itself gradually through the entire
four floors and basement and over on the
upper floors Of several adjoining build
ings.
The first issue OF the Herald appeared
the morning of May 10, 1881, and the
tenth anniversary of its existence was APP
propriately observed only a few months
ago. The paper was founded by Mr..
James w. Scott, who organized a COM
pauy and purchased the plant of the old
Telegraph and its press franchises. The
new daily made its bow to the public and
courted patronage as a four-page morn
ing publication, sold at two cents a copy,
while all the other morning papers except
the Daily Neacs, which had Just put a
two cent morning edition in the field,
were sold at five cents a copy.
Ex-Postmaster Frank w. Palmer was
the first editor OF the new candidate for
the support OF the reading public. Mr..
Scott was publisher, and it is in that
capacity that he still stands at the head of
the establishment, controlling and direct
ing all its interests. In 1888 those
interested in the original Herald company
sold out to John r. Walsh, James w.
Scott and Martin j. Russell, the latter
gentleman becoming managing editor. In
1887 Mr.. Russell severed his connection
with the paper, and a couple OF years later
sold his stock. He was succeeded as
managing editor by Mr.. Horatio w.
Seymour, who fills that responsible
position today.
The present owners of the Herald are
John r. Walsh, james w. Scott aud
Azel +. Hatch. These three gentlemen
are also owners of the Euenrng Post,
which was established May L, 1890, Mr..
0cotJ DeinR president oil the ECenln1
Post company. No sketch OF the Herald
brief but upward career would be com
pletsJsithout the introduction of james
w. Scott's personality. His control and
management OF the paper IS now absolute,
as 1t always has been, and it was unques
tionably his able plotting that brought it
safely through early Yicissitudes and
storms to ultimate triumph. In his
MANAGEMENT, however, Mr.. Scott has
always had the valuable assistance of Mr..
Walsh financially and in many other ways.
Much besides money has been contributed
to the success OF the enterprise BY Mr..
Walsh. HIS relations with Mr.. Scott
have not only been of great value because
OF his vast practical experience IN large
business affairs, and his keen perceptions
and level headed Judgment, but they
nave also beer without friction.

the same which reach to the elbows, and
the upper part of the corsage and collar
are completely covered with it.
The silk is draped in rich folds on the
bias diagonally across the front Of the
corsage from left to right. On the left
shoulder is a fine passementerie orna-

which hangs down over the back.
1t will be noticed that all sleeves reach
to the wrist this season, and some even
flare out over the hand, as in the Six

sary to wear gloves inside the sleeves

encountered heavy snow for about seven
miles out from the city. The stretch of
plains from that point to Woods Landing
