The following paragraph, credited to
the American Journal for La-" we
find in one of our anti-lottery exchan-
pes. It is not often that we see so much
truth on the subject Of which it treats
in an anti-lottery paper.
The great need of the Louisiana pub
lie school system is money. In the levy
ing of school revenues the state Is
hammered ia many ways. A cOnstltu-
tional nroyjsiou limits the rate of taxa
tiou 10 six mills. Out of this must be
maid the interest upon the heavy State
aleht incurred during reconstruction
davs when plunder was the watchWOrd.
1'hen the expenses of building, repair
in0 and maintaining of levees ls O
heayv drain upon the States finances.
AS n ia those schools which depend for
snstenance upon the States prorata ap-
nortionmeut, must keep open but little
snnre than three months in the year.
Cities and towns make much better
showing, bringing the average up to
four months and half for the whole
State. which thongIt inadequate, is an
Improvement over the past state OF
affairs.
Now, the facts being as above stated,
sa,e query suggests itself: Is it wise, or
ia ii snoral, even, to allow the large ma
iority of the youth of this State to grow
up in ignorance, and thus handicapped

Our Country.
KANSAS AGITATOR,

You can safely say political
demagogue" to the man who tells
you to stay with the old party and
help purify it. The patriotic states
man says to you, help purify the
government you live under. This
never has and never can be done
by staying in and talking about
purifying party that you admit to
be corrupt. The history of this
country fails to show single in
stance wherein a corrupt party has
ever been purified. This being
true, then it is impossible to purify
a government through a political
party that is absolutely lifeless.
Staying in it to purify it is like
trying to pump life into a dead
horse it can't be done. It's the
duty of every patriotic citizen of a
peoples government to use his bal
lot and influence in trying to purify
his government. In doing this, it's
his duty, as a patriotic christian cit
izen, to leave that party that he
admits to be corrupt, and by his
vote and influence help to raise up
a party through which he may ex-
pect to accomplish such reforms in
the government as are needed. It's
our duty to work for the best inter-
ests of otr government. If it needs
to be purified, then it's our
duty, as it's members, to work
for that purpose. If we are the
members of a party that we are
willing to admit needs to be puri-
fed, then it is our duty to get
away from it as fast as possible, and
let it go down as thing of the
past, with all the just honor and
credit that it deserves for what it
has done in the past, remembering
that we are not living in the past,
but are Twin. in the present, look
ing forward to the future prosperity
of our beloved country and its citi-
zens.

POLITICAL sermons, or sermons de-
voted to the duties of citizenship,
are in order now and the pulpit is
expressing itself freely. Here is
the way Rev Thos. Dixon puts it !:
1.-The man who prays like an angel
and votes like tho devil will be
found with the devil, not with the
angels, when the final great count
is made. The religion that does
that does not save a man politically,
cannot save him eternally."-Chris-
tian Herald.

Alliance and the Third Party.

Alliance and the Third Party.
The National Economist, the Off
cial organ of the Farmers Alliance,
says "the Alliance is distinctively a
farmers organization, and as such,
can never be political party. 1t
is a great reserve force, to which
this great body of producers can
apply for united strength to meet
evil in any form, but especially
evils that afflict them as class.
On this basis it has grown to great
proportions; it's object is justice,
right and equity" The claim is
further made, that "it has never
sought to have any political infu-
ence, except as an educator.
Speaking of the third party, it says
that linen may form new party,
based on the demands, and that
while such action may hinder the
true educational work of the order,
yet the demands once promulgated,
are public property, and the order
cannot oppose" In the closing of
this somewhat lengthy editorial, the
editor remarks that 1.-THE object Of
Alliance is justice, right, equity,
and it's mission never will be accom-
pl shed while there is wrong to be
met, or evil to be righted. Partisan
politics can never be an object of
the Alliance. No true Alliance
man can afford to advocate the de-
mands for the sake of forming
new political party. There is no
reason why new party would be
any better than An old one, except
that it be devoted to better objects
and methods. Party can therefore
never be an object; it may be a
method. The necessary reforms
are the great and only object of the
movement, and should third party
ever be necessary method, it can
be embraced as such"
From the foregoing it will be OBJ
served that the Farmers Alliance

Alliance aud Temperance.

The supreme council of the Farm
ers' Alliance by resolution endorsed
the work of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Uuion, and bid it God
speed. Considering that every
state in the Union was represented,
and by the best men of the order,
the endorsement means something,
and that something is desire for
the destruction Of the liquor traffic.
Farmers are waking up on all ques-
tions, and their organizations are in
sympathy and rapidly falling into
line with all reform organizations.
Farmers fully realize that the mar
ket for grain created by the manu-
facture of alcoholic liquors is no
adequate compensation for the
higher taxes and the misery the
drinking of intoxicants entails up
on society.
