Farmers and Politics,

Farmers of the United States ere
at last taking an interest in politics
at the right end Of q political cam
pigne. Hereafter, when they had vo-
ted they completed their share OF
the duty that citizenship imposes
and took no further interest in mat
tiers political until the next campaign
with its party ticket to lure with ST.
rem song the farmer to the poll. But
now the situation is radically chan
ged, and after political campaigns, at
the time when politicians, capitalists
and quasi Statesmen expect the far
mer to 20 back to his acres, his cows
and his turnips, forgetful Of politics
and everything pertaining thereto,
behold! he remains In the field, as &C
tive az ever. What does it mean! 1t
means that farmers. halt the voting
strength of the country. propose
henceforth to have something to say
about how this government shall be
run; they henceforth are going to
take an interest In the matter 365
days in year. And every really
good citizen is glad of it, for 1t means
euuitably distributed prosperity,
and brighter sunshine for the masses,

If the Republican leaders at Wash
ington were again at the threshold OF
the year 1890 and could be guided by
the light of experience Of the coming
twelvemonth, would Speaker Reed
have proposed or the House adopted
his obnoxious and revolutionary set
of rules? Would the majority Of tins
House have pursued their policy Of
wholesale expulsion Of Democratic
members whose seats were contested!
Would the Mckinley bill have been
enactedy Would the force bill have
been passed by the House and in
troduced into the Senator
We think not. But what the Re-
publicans would have avoided il they
could live the year over again they
are too proud and stubborn to cor
rect. The obstinancy with which they
adhere to the suicidal policy adopted In
1890 is worthy Of q better cause. The
New Year finds the party as degen-
crate as ever, and the prospect of re-
form is hopeless. This is bad thing
for the country; but q good thing for
the Democratic party.

Kansas Letter.

Hon s. s. Lambert, RENTING for
his PLAIN DEALER, the ensuing year
says:
Yol undoubtedly have noticed the
great political change that has trans
pired in Kansas. Two years ago last
November the Republican majority
for Governor eighty thousand, elect
ing all of the seven congressman 10y
large majorities. Last Nov, the Ali.
ance elected five of the seven men,
beers to congress, and came within
about eight thousand votes of elect
ing Governor, with three candidates
in the field, viz: Democratic, Repub-
lican and Farmers Alliance, they also
elected large majority of State Rep
resentatives, the State Senators hold
ing over whom of course are mostly
republicans.
Now the great question is who will
be elected u. s. Senator in place of
J. J. Ingalls,.
He, ingalls,, Is making quite an ef-
fort to be returned; no doubt you
saw a speech he made in the Senate
a few days since. In said speech he
came right on to the Alliance plat
form and made what ! should call a
good Greenback speech. No doubt
the speech would have had more ef-
feet had it been delivered before the
election last Nov. Jerry Simson, q
leading member of the Alliance says
it is death-bed repentance.
Anyway. the farmers and laboring
men of Kansas have decided to strike
out for themselves. They have come
to the conclusion to vote for their
own interests, and no longer be die
tated by the political bosses Of either
of the old parties.
What say you--how would J. b.
Weaver OF Iowa do for Presidential
candidate, with some good Southern
man for the Vice President, in 1892
Very truly. s.. s. LAMBERT.

CORPORATION ELECTION.

Barely one month will transpire
before the people Of Cresco must de-
eide upon who shall administer its
affairs and guard its business inter-
ests for the ensuing year. 1t is pos
sible, indeed probable that steps will
be taken to put in the system Of
water works voted upon and approx
ed by the people at the recent elect
ion, when that matter was submitted.
Partizan politics should be ignored
for our business welfare. Some safe
and judicious person, such for in
stance as would be H. w. Young, or
J. J. Lowry, should be made its exec
utive officer and should have the
united support Of the people. For
members of the council, men should
be chosen who have that breadth OF
judgment and independence Of char
acter that will enable them to make
the public good of supreme import
ance.
Should the town proceed with its
contemplated system of water works,
involving tax upon the public Of
ten or fifteen thousond dollars. it will
be OF vastly more Importance that
the men in charge Of the business
shall be competent to judge Of the
merits of what is offered and o: its
value, than that they should be sound
upon some political ques-
ton which in no event can come be-
fore them for decision.
Why not have real Peoples eau

everything Of political ma
ture that would sacrifice the public
welfare to partizan malignity?
