1t was generally believed that Briga-
der Poik's late visit to Kansas would be
the last, the supposition being that the
Alliance would decline TO go into a third
party political organization af er its re-
cent overwhelming defeat; but the for
nal determination made and declared at
Indianapolis last week q, enter the new
party ami national politics, and the
further act of the Alliance in re-electing
Polk as its president, indicate that we
NAV have another visit from him at
sometime IN the near future; he will un-
dertake to resurrect the embryonic body
that was buried by the Republicans in
Kansas and resuscitate it into a living
entity. But it is no use; the only hope
for the Alliance in Kansas politically. is
to fasten itself onto the Democratic
party. This is unQuestionably the
scheme that is proposed To be consum-
mated; but whether it VIII succeed is
doubtful

100 GENUINE PICTURES.

Etchings guaranteed to be first
class quality and from the most
noted artists of the country.
They are usually sold for about
$3.50, but the circumstances un-

the moral courage to fight for the inter
ests of the farmer.
These leaders are beginning 10 feel
that the sensible and far-sighted farmers
of the country doubt their ability to
accomplish impossibilities, and not dar-
ing to antagonize' those who elected
them to office, seek to turn their minds
against the press of the country. The
fact of the matter is, the press has pub
lished too much truth and it has injured
their schemes, and the farmers know it.
The passage of the anti-grain gambling
bill was in the interest," of every farmer
and grower of grain, and effected them
personally. but was of no personal inter-
est to the leaders.
Had it passed, the condition of the
farmer would have been changed for
the better, and this they were afraid of.
The success of the leaders remains in
having the farmers kept in a dependant
condition, and so they turn from these
measures which would benefit them and
champion that which they knew to be
impossibilities.
The EAGLE has championed every in
terest that would benefit the farming in
dustry and, particularly, this bill, and
will continue to do so, believing that
the condition Of the farmer is of greater
interest to the whole country than the
personal interest of any one Alliance
leader or set of leaders.
The action of the indianapolis conven-
ton shows Conclusively that the per-
sonal interest of its delegates was of
more importance than that of the people
they pretended to represent.
Ever since the Alliance entered politics
and pushed forward Polk of Georgia,
Hall of Missouri, McCune of Washing
ton, PETER and Simpson of Kansas, and
others. these men have kept their per-
sonal grievances before the public more
prominently than those measures which
effected the welfare of the farmers.

The people of Bavaria are justly in
Censed over the insolence of the German
emperor in writing on the Golden Tafel
at Munich the sentence: 1.-The will of
the King the supreme law" There is
little reason TO believe that Emperor
William is gaining in wisdom as he ad-
yances in years. The enthusiasm with
which Bismarck is greeted whenever he
appears in public serves to emphasize
the growing unpopularity of the emperor
who dismissed him. This may furnish a
key, in part at least, to the talk of war
preparations said to be actively going on
IN the empire. Nothing would serve so

The Democrats rely pretty confidently
upon receiving the substantial sup
port Of portion of the Alliance-the
portion that opposes the subtreasury and
government railroad schemes and that
refuse to go into the third party organ
ization. What the Democrats base
their hopes upon for such acquisition we
fail to see, unless it is upon the idea
that the Alliance is committed against
the Republican on general principles. AS
for the attitude of the two parties-Dem-
Ocratic and Republican-towards the
subtreasury and other governmental
schemes of the Alliance, it is identical; !;
both oppose and condemn them, while
the Republican party especially cham

There is a nice little row brewing in
the Democratic camp. Yesterdays dis
patches gave the details of the scheming
Of the anti-Cleveland faction of the east
and south to organize the next house Of
congress in the interest of Hill as pres
idential candidate. The ostensible pur-
pose of the Crisp boom that is trying to
be worked up is to forestall any radical
legislation on the tariff question such as
is expected in the event of Mills success
to the speakership; though the real OBJ
ject is to boost Hill towards the presi-
dental nomination. If the scheme shall
succeed the Democratic plan of cam
paign will have to be reconstructed,
with the tariff left out, and, probably,
the silver question. There is sport
ahead.

A question has arisen as to what shall
be done with the minority in the next
house. How are the $50 seats to be di-
vided between the two parties so that
the small minority may be found all to-
gether when needed? The dividing line
will probable be the second aisle on the
Republican side of the house instead Of
the aisle which divided the house in two
equal parts, and the minority will be
grooped as well as possible. We may add
that this arrangement will positively
not continue beyond the sessions of the
Fifty-secOnd congress, for obvious rea-

The Elk County Citizen quotes a
garbled extract from the EAGLE in refer

it apply to the Democratic party of the

coalition with the Democrats in future

Fair Matters.


Senate to-day the Sundry Civil appro-
priation bill was taken up. The first
items which provoked discussion were
the amendments of the committee in
relation to the Worlds Columbian EX-
position.
Mr.. Mcpherson referred to the large
salaries which the officers of the expo
sition had voted TO themselves and in
Qurcd whether the Committee on APP

Mr. Allison replied that under the act
organizing the exposition $1,000, 600
had been appropriated for the use Of
the commission, and that the commits
sion had gone on in the expenditure OF
that money for the current fiscal year.

the next fiscal year and in order 10
make the plan proposed for those off
GERS next year apply To the remainder
of the present fiscal year il was neceS-
sary TO agree 10 that amendment. IL
was intended that the machiaery of the
exposition at Chicago would speedily
adjust itself TO the proposed conditions.
The question OF the cooperation OF
women IN the exposition was discussed

Hawley, Call and GOrman. Finally the
vote was taken and the amendment re-
ported by the committee was agreed TO.

WASHINGTON, February 2i.-The di-
