A VAIN UNDERTAKING.

The Kansas Alliance emissaries who
have gone into Dixie for the purpose of
educating the peopl Of that section in the
mysteries of the movement that its orr
gin in that quarter, are following cold
trail. Here is the welcome extended to
invaders by the Savannah, Ga, News as
well as frank statement of the condi-
ton in that state:
They will be given respectful hear
ing. They have nothing to say, and can
say nothing that will influence any con-
siderable number of Alliance men to
leave the Democratic party. Within the
last month many of the sub-Alliances of
this state have passed resolutions an
nouncing that they would have nothing
to do with the Peoples party. The truth
is that most of the Alliance men of Kan
sas are Republicans at heart, and in the
presidential election they will vote the
Republican ticket. Alliance men of
Georgia would make a great mistake if
they should place any dependence upon
what MesSrs. PETER and Simpson and
Mrs. Lease may say, and they know it.
1t may be safely assumed, therefore, that
the mission of the three Kansas propa-
gandists will be total failure"

Salina Republican: "a Wichita NJ D.

EAGLE objecting to the execution of
criminals in New York by the use of
electricity. Marsh Murdoch is an inf1u-

son why he should not be able to prevent
electrocution in New York state. If he
would only pay less attention to the
"new crowd" and more to the inhumane
method of execution at Sing Sing, n. y,
he might accomplish something, and the

THE MARRIAGE RATE.
From the Times-Democrat.

From the Times-Democrat.
The statistics of those countries that
have recently taken their censuses con-
firm the theory that has been advanced
of late that marriage is going out of
favor, and that it is far less common to-
day than formerly. The explanation
hitherto given of this is that marriages
decrease in number with hard times.
While this is true, it will not suffice to
explain the decrease, as it is evident that
decade by decade, aside entirely from
the question of whether times are hard
or not, there is falling off in the per-
centage of marriages. 1t should rather
be said that marriages decrease with
civilization, either because the civilized
man is more wary of taking wife or be-
cause the expense of supporting family
is too great for him.
The English census shows that the
marriage rate has steadily declined in
Great Britain for the last forty years. In
1858 it had reached its maximum of 17.9
marriages to each thousand of people
1t steadily declined, until in 1885
there were but 14.4 marriages per
1000. There has been a slight I'M
provement since, and the rate Is now
lat, but the chances are of still fur
Their falling off. OF course, the birth
rate also has declined, and the growth of
population is consequently less than was
expected.
Previous to 1867 the number of mar
riages in Massachusetts, per 1000 was
over 90, and it has. since sunk as low as
1914. 1t should be remembered in this
connection that both in Great Britain and
Massachusetts the proportion of adults
to the total population has increased of
late years, so that the marriages ought
to increase, as there is larger number
of persons of manageable age.
The fact that the rate has so greatly
declined indicates not only hard times,
but the belief that man or woman
working alone can assure higher stand
ard of living and be more comfortable
than with a family. A materialistic
view like this must weaken family ties,
and does not speak well for the future.
The decline in marriages in Great Brit
ain and this country is unpromising,
both for the family and the state.

OUTLOOK FOR OKLAHOMA.

Never before in its short eventful his
tory has Oklahoma mad such a panoroma
of elevating prospects spread to view.
A phenomenal yield for new soil marks
every vicinity and every variety of
grain. A week ago, a slight shadow of
Encouragement rifted athwart the I'M
sullied promise of illinitable fruition.
The corn needed rain to make it, and the
conjecture, spoken and tacit, was abroad
that the drouth had set in. But great
rain spreading from the undulating
stretches of the Cherokee Strip to the
verdant valleys of the Chickasaw coun-
try dispelled the incipient fear, and the
asseveration falls like benediction on
the pioneer ''corn is made" Every
grain has offered its best this year and
the cotton is having none but favorable
weather. If prosperity is inherent in
domain, Oklahoma is undoubtedly in
possession of the vestibule.

KANSAS DEMOCRAT EDITORS.

From the Kansas Chief.
If you want to find lot of men utterly
without principles or political convic-
tions, we refer you to the Democratic
editors of Kansas-and, for that matter,
the entire party is pretty much in the
same fix. They have inherited lot of
moss-back prejudices, which cause them
to call themselves Democrats; but when
it comes to voting, they take up with
anything in order to beat the Republi-
can party, even if it is to vote for other
Republicans. Their resolves are Demo-
cratic of the purest nature; but when
they vote, they throw principle aside.
They are recognizing again, on straight
Democratic issues. Their combination
with the Alliance, last fall, almost de-
moralized them. They gave votes, and
received kicks. Their oldest papers are
either Hopping over to the Alliance, or
dying outright. The Atchison Patriot,
the Oldest Democratic paper in the state,
is to be sold by the sheriff, and the Olathe
Democrat has given up the ghost.
The Democratic party has always OPP
posed Capitalization, and what it calls
''paternalism" in the government. The
Alliance wants to centralize everything,
and make 1t paternal. 1t wants the
government to own all the railroads and
telegraphs, and loan money to the peo-
pie. Yet the Democratic state central
committee met, several weeks ago, and
resolved if this paternal party would
divide the little county offices with them,
they would unite teams with them
against the Republicans.
Then the Alliance committee met, and
spurned the offer They resolved that
they would run straight goods, and unite
with neither of the old parties.
Next came a meeting of Democratic
editors, last week, to re-organize the
party. They resolved against paternal-
ism, and in favor of ancient Democratic
principles. They could no more fuse
with the Alliance than with the Repub-
lican party. Thus 1t stands, and perhaps
will stand until the fall election, when
the Democrats will beg the Alliance to
accept their votes, and give them few
offices; and if they cannot get
any, they will give their votes to the
Alliance, anyhow, and help them elect
as many officers as possible.

Natures Methods Of Scattering Seeds.

q y AeNnOOS scattering SEEDS.
The methods by which seeds are distrib-
uted are most curious and interesting. The
legume of the pea splits along it's two mar
gins, the two halves falling away from
each other and throwing off the seeds in
various directions. The seed cases of the
pansy and of the violet explode, scattering
the seeds forcibly.
In the gorse and the broom a sudden
burst of the pods and springlike twist of
their two halves effectually disperse the
contents. On sunny July days the crack
ing sounds produced by the bursting peri
carps may be distinctly heard. The ma
ture fruit of EcbaIlium elaterum separates
from it's stock and elects its seeds with
great rapidity through the oridce left by
the rupture. The spoFangia of many ferns
(bracken) have an elastic ring. which is
probably intended for the energetic dis-
persal of the spores. In certain pines the
scales Of the cone, when thoroughly dried
by the hot days of the summer following
that of its production, open with jerk,
forcibly ejecting the winged seeds. Ere
quently number will burst together, and
then the sound may be heard at great dis
tance.-Knowledge.
