Neosho County Alliance.

The fourth quarterly session Of the
Neosho county Alliance convened in
Galesburg Saturday, July II. Owing to
threatening rain in the early part Of the
forenoon many were prevented from get
ting there until late, but by 2 or o'clock
there was quite a gathering, notwlth-
standing the push Of work at the time.
This ought to explode the statement
made by some Of our enemies that the
Alliance Is on the wane. There were
few distant Alliances not represented,
but have reported in good condition.
One new Alliance has been added 70 our
number, and none marked off since the
previous session. Business Of local i'm
portance principally was transacted. The
election of officers was in order at this
session. Mr.. Seth Natran was re- elected
president and A. o. Weaver secretary,
Most OF the other officers were reelected;
also A. II. Ellis OF "Hazel Dell" Alliance
was elected county lecturer.
Neosho county will do her part in
looking to the success of the district
mass meeting arranged by the state ex-
ecutiVe board. Our delegates TO the Cln-
cinnati conference made fatteFing re-
ports as regards the unanimity and good
will of that great gathering. Let It be
understood that though reports from
Neosho county do not appear 30 fire.
quently In the papers as from some of
our sister counties, yet NeOsho county ls
loyal along the line Of the Alliance and
Peoples party. The organization is In
a good financial condition, and when the
proper time arrives, Neosho county will
be found at the helm, helping to guide
the reform ship launched at Cincinnati,
upon whose streamers are inscribed
"Equal Rights to All; Special Privileges
TO None" A. o. WEAVER,
County Secretary.

ONLY ANOTHER FORGERY.

Congressman Jerry Simpson comes out
fat-footed for reputation, in an interview
published elsewhere in this issue. Notwith-
standing the 100000 wheat crop, the
$l5,000,0OO hay crop, the probable $e0,OOO,-
600 corn crop, the SIS, ,OOO, 600 oats crop and
at least $30,OOO,OOO coming from other
products, he thinks il should be admitted
that the state should go into bankruptcy.
We refer TO this in order to point out the
interesting fact that for the first time in the
history Of the nation Congressman from
Kansas publishes to the world that his state
is bankrupt and the people must and should
repudiate their obligations.
1t is absolutely sickening to read such
a mendacious falsehood published in
paper of Kansas. The interview referred
to took place In the editorial room of the
Tribune. There were present Mr.. Simp-
son, the reporter Of the Capital, MIR. F.
L. Bailey and the editor of the Tribune.
Mr.. Simpson made no such statement
nor anything that could have been twisted
into such statement. It is made of
whole cloth, an utter lie outright.
Mr.. Simpson denied having made the
statement attributed to him by the Abb
lene Reporter and continued saying 1t was
simply impossible to pay debts when
there was no money in existence to pay
with. The inevitable result of the lack
of currency was bankruptcy to many q
business from whose real assets should
have been able with sufficiency of cur
rency to carry them through.
Bankruptcy Is practically repudlatlon,
for the debt Is not paid, simply wiped out
and the bankrupt is wiped out with it.
He also said that accepting Secretary
Mohler'S figures Of 6O,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat, even this gigantic crop could not
meet the public and private interest &C
count.
An editor who will thus deliberately,
maliciously and uselesSly Slander citi-
zen or state is not fit TO live In civil
lied community.
But it shows all the same to what dire
full straights the lmps Of the plutocrats
are driven and to what lengths they are
willingato go at the command of their
masters. The plutOcrats or the people
must go.-ALliGnce Tribune.

"A severe hurricane passed over the
southwestern portion of Georgia, ana the
young drummer happened TO be down IN

knew that he was there, and they were
alarmed.
"They wired. but were unable to get q

and had a royal big time.
He had some prize sample cigars, and
he opened box after box aud they were
smoked up. He had good deal OF pre-

bows helped HIM TO chew 1t. When the
week ended he was without samples.
"During the excitement be did not stop

College, and School-Money.


The debt-settlers are either off on their
summer vacation or are working very
quietly. indeed, for we hear nothing from
them nowadays.
If they do not submit reasonable pro-
position very soon their opportunity Will
have passed.
1t is known that at their conference here
with the debt commissioners the OLcoTT
Committee suggested that the net income
of the State could be raised from 100000
TO $500. 900 per annum. Their plan was to
cut down the colleges. on their holdings
of Virginia bonds, from to per cent.
interest and to withdraw from the public
schools the special annuity of late years
paid them 10 make up the deficit caused by
the use in former years of school funds for
governmental purposes.
As to the colleges, they said the extra 8
per cent. was not due them, and as to
the schools they insisted that the arrearages
were now all paid up and that that special
appropriation should. therefore, be dis
continued.
Our representatives combated both os
these propositions, and as good as told the
OLcorr gentlemen that It would be useless
to make any such demand; that it would
| not be listened to for a moment. Then
the New Workers retired to consult the
| London committee and nothing has since
! been heard from them.

I,abor-Saylnp Machines.

Mr.. CARROLL ID. WRIGHT the United
States Labor Commissioner, in tie Juno
number of the Social Economist, states that
instead of inventions and labor-saving ma
chimes displacing labor they have increased
the demand for it, in some cases indirectly
and IN others directly, by opening up new
employments to men and women.
We do not know whether Mr.. WRIdHr's
statement is true or not, but we are in
clined to the opinion that he has dropped
a naught" in making his estimates or cal
culations. If we are not mistaken, the
number of shoes made in New England by
machines which have superseded hand
labor Is so great that If these machines
we're all destroyed 1t would require all the
unemployed men in the United States to
do by hand the work which is now done
upon them. Figures spoil many rude cal
culations. In 1880 there were 36,76l, 607
persons IN this country over ten years of
age, and of these 1890 were engaged
in occupations-in agriculture, 7,670,49S;
in trades and transportation. 1,s10,256; in
professional and personal services, 4,074 ,23S;
in manufacturing, mechanical trades, and
mining, 3.s37,112. A great many Of these
persons were females. Mr.. WRIGHT has
opened up an interesting field for inyesti-

Another Railroad Horror.

Our telegraphic columns this morning
record another railroad horror.
II occurred yesterday not many miles
from Charleston, W. w.. and was caused
by trestle breaking under the weight OF
moving train.
This was still another one of those oc-
currences of which we have elsewhere
spoken of as avoidable. Had proper care
been exercised the fautiness of the struc-
ture could have been discovered, and then
if the needed work had been promptly
done, ali those lives would have been saved.
Notwithstanding the fact that railroad
companies are often heavily mulcted in
damages as partial reparation for the in
juries they do persons they are not yet
alive enough to the necessity Of keeping
their roads in the best possible order.
