that a good many interesting relics
may be discovered for use at the

Help from Kansas.

A Topeka correspondent of The St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says: Encouraged
by the result in Kansas, it is known that
the farmers in other states are being ap-
pealed to by the Alliance leaders to organ
ize for future elections. One Of the ALI
ance organs in this state says: Every
state in the Union has been looking to
Kansas in this campaign. Our victoryis
of national significance; its influence will
be felt to the remotest parts of our land.
Already we have calls from other states
for some of our experienced Alliance or
GAMERS. They desire to get in line for
the struggle Of 1892. We shall send men
to teach our principles in other states,
and we shall continue the work Of edu-
cation among our own now organized
people. Kansas has led the way and
forced the issues Of the next national
campaign"

Measures and Men.


During the course Of an address before
the Franklin county CO., farmers ALI
ance Rev. w. R. Parsons said:
The significance and importance Of
this farmers movement are far reaching.
and deeply interesting. In. it there is
the spirit of pure patriotism. Argentine
American spirit pulses its life. It is GRE
ating that consensus of opinions. that
patriotic spirit, which constitute the
main pillars of our national greatness.
These farmers are not in sympathy with
merciless trusts and monopolies, mill
ionaires who purchase seats in. the SEN
ate of the United States, or legislatures
VINO paralyze our legitimate industries
through failure to protect them from.
counterfeits and authorizations.
There are hundreds of. corrupt, dis
honest, unprincipled men. in the halls Of.
legislation. What they do. tells what.
they are as we'll as what they refuse to
do. Obstructionists. rippers and cor
ruptionists cost the country more than.
our present national debt. Let us no,
longer plead measures and not men,"
but measure, and men. and vote for no
man who is not honorable and trust.

eff the Farmers Alliance Is to main
tain the influence it has obtained in
the political world it must beware of
entanglements with either of the old
parties. 1t must also steer clear of
men identified with monopolistic cor
porations."
The above is said by the Fertile
Journal. 1t is the substrat upon
which the GREAT WEST has con-
structed it's singular career and won
derful power AMONG the laboring peo-
pie. We have preached it night and
day. 1t has been the gospel OF it's
prayers-and the text OF it's fierce de-
nunciations. We have spared but
few who sold their honor for political
pottage-and those spared have
turned their scorpion stings to de-
stroy us. Let the alliance stand up
on that eminent plane, and neither
earth nor hell can stand against it's
power-for it means Justice to the
poor.

VIM. Hayes, Esq, engineer on the
NJ. & St. L. road gives estimates OF
the coal consumption of engines to
the Northwestern Railroader, which
we condense as follows:
Engine At: seven car train, 4OA
miles to the ton of coal. Average
coal per carmile, Z lbs.
Engine As; same run, 80 miles to
ton of coal.
Freight engines do not make so
much mileage-say 36 miles.
General average of Mr.. Hayes,
1861 miles to the ton.
This agrees very closely with our
estimate made last winter-a run OF
a division requiring generally about
3 tons of coal.

North Cardinals Legislature.
The legislature of North Carolina has,
so senator's and 100 members of the house
of commons;. total, 40. OF these there
are 81 Republicans and Independents
and 142 Democrats. There are 1902
members of the Farmers Alliance, II
lawyers, 2 merchants, and % members
whose business'is not known. The Alli-
ance has, therefore, far more than a.
majority. Prior to the election the ALI
ance sent each. candidate for the legis-
lature what is known as an. Alliance de-
mand card. On this, were set out the
following demands of the state Alliance:
First-For railroad commission.
Second-For lawprohibiting in. future
giving away Of convict labor.
Third-For such changes in laws as.
will reduce costs of litigation in minor
causes and also enlarge jurisdiction, Of
magistrates.
Fourth-For prohibition. Of. accept
ance of railway, passes :bypublic officials.
Each candidate was asked to sign these
demands separately, signatures to. be-
witnessed. State Secretary Bedding:
field, of the Alliance, says. that every,
member of the legislature; save about
twenty, signed them They were thus.
made an issue in the campaign.

Queen Victoria may be little old
fashioned about refusing to have
electric lights at Balmoral and Os-
bourne, and in private apartments
at the Windsor. But she is level
headed from scientific standpoint.
The human race, in business centres,
is being ruined by artificial light and
night hours. Under the reign of ma
ture, the human family might yet
live to be hearty at 100 years if the
artificial light were unknown. Ma
ture provided long nights in cold
weather and short nights in warm
and even division at the poles-for a
purpose. Our insane asylums, and
our consumptives, and our broken
down constitutions, and many OF our
inebriates, are landmarks along the
highway of artificial life. The man
who goes to rest with the birds and
rises to the rosy dawn of the uplift-
ing curtain of morn will "get there"
over the sod which covers the light
slain victims. But it would take ten
generation to recover what is lost.
We feel very much like beginning a
"Sun Crusade" Every great move
ment has a small beginning. Let US
start right now.

National Work On the EiGAt Hour
sa Law.
The eight hour law now applies to
over 10000 carpenters, as the re-
suit Of the work Of May LIST, 1890.
On May LIST, 1891 it is decided BY the
American Feder1tion of Labor, and
doubtless by til Knights, to have
the miners make the demand. The
following year certain other trades
will take the matter up. Of the ], 1913
strikes officially authorized in 1890,
$50 were successful, 76 failed, and
90 were compromised. The National
Convention of the Federation OF
Labor authorized q petition to Con-
gress in favor of woman suffrage.

The Pennsylvania farmers are ION
the move" so to speak. and are gaining
that recognition which they deserve.
The Pittsburg Post seems to consider
the body a formidable one, characterized
by honesty as well as common sense.
At a recent meeting of the Alliance at
Harrisburg the farmers made certain
recommendations as to state and ma
tional laws, which The Post declares are
sensible and moderate" They laid
great stress on the subject Of silver, the
free coinage Of which they advocate;
they want an adequate supply Of cur
rency, and have placed themselves on
record as the enemies Of trusts and COM
bines.
In a word the Pennsylvania farmers
appear to be moving along the right
lines, and the Alliance will make itself
felt in the politics of the state.-Atlanta
