\ POINTER FOR THE ALLIANCE.

The result of the Kentucky election
contains valuable pointer for Alliance
people extant who insist upon the or
ganization of a third political party.
That the Alliance, as farmers organ
ization, is as strong in Kentucky IN pro-
portion to population as in any other
state cannot be denied, but the mem
bers wisely concluded that the quickest
and Surest way to correct the evils COM
planned of, as far as that may be done
through legislation and control of gov
eminent, is to control one of the two
great parties; or at least exert what in
fuence they could in that direction.
Accordingly the Kentucky Alliance
moved on and in the Democratic party
first, because it was the strongest and
already in control. If they fail in this
it is not unnatural or unreasonable to
suppose that at the next election the
Alliance will throw their support to the
Republican party and give it trial. If
they shall fail in securing, in reasonable
measure, what they want by this means
it will then be time enough to essay an
Independent party organization, but I'M
til it shall have exhausted these means
of relief the Alliance cannot but retard
the work of reform by setting itsely up
against and antagonizing both the old
parties at the same time.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

Springfield, Mo-, is just now wrestling
with the question of contracting for
lighting the city with electricity. The
local company has submitted a PROPOSE
ton to the city council to supply one
hundred lights for 500 a year each The
Democrat objects to the price because it
thinks it excessive and out of reason,
and from the following list of cities and
towns, and the prices they pay for such
service, it would seem that the Demo-
Gratis objection is well taken. The lights
are paid for from 200 to 365 nights per
year, which probably makes a slight diff
ference in the cost. The figures are:
