The Wall Street N. Y. Farmer,

THE Wall Street IN. Y. Farmer,
in speaking of prohibition and the
Alliance" says, among other things:
x X "There is no good reason,
therefore, why the Farmers Alliance
should not incorporate somewhat of
this idea into every platform adopt
ed by them, whether county, state
or national. Not to do it will look
as weak and devoid Of moral STAN
ina as either one Of the old political
parties in winking at great nation
al crime by quietly ignoring it in
their platforms and declarations of
purpose. Disguise it as we may,
the fact stands out prominently in
the signs of the times. Prohibition
is destined to become the supreme
question to be decided among the
social problems Of this country.
Any political party having the man
hood and independence to make this
question an issue, which will bring
to it all the moral and ecclesiastical
forces of the different churches of
this country, and of the good every
where, will deserve we'll of the
American people, and, what is more
significant, will meet with triumph
the like. Of which has never been
dreamed of in the philosophy of the
shrewdest politicians of the age"

CONCLUDED. |

are beginning to find out that mil
lionaires cannot be made honestly
in SO short time, so the people are
asking the same question that John
j. Ingalls, asked in a recent speech,
to the effect that somebody had
been robbing the people, and if any
one had money belonging tie HIM, he
wanted to know it; and that is just
the question that now concerns the
people, for they have been swindled
for the last twenty-five years by the
sO-called stewards of the Lord, and
now we are about to overhaul the
books to try and find out if some Of
the Doodle don't belong to us.
Twenty years ago this country had
but three millionaires; to-day it has
seven thousand millionaires and
three hundred thousand male tramps
and fifteen thousand female tramps.
| should like to ask some of these
so-called religious papers that have
been bought up by Doodle if they
think the Lord had anything to do
in bringing about this state OF
affairs. John D. Rockefeller's in
come is over eighteen thousand
dollars per day. The woman who
makes shirts in the factory in New
York, by working twelve or fifteen
hours, can probably make sixty
cents per cay. They say that John
D. Rockefeller is liberal giver for
charity -one of the Lords stew
ards" as it were. Now when the
Lord went to work and formed the
Standard Oil trust, and appointed
the whole crew as His stewards, YER

Attempted Suicide.

CoLFAx, April Thames Yarmouth.
an old timer here, attempted to cross
the mysterious river early this morning.
and very nearly succeeded. He shook
hands with his friend, Win Harper, late
last night, telling him that he might
never see him again. A little past
o'clock this morning Deputy Marshal
Duncan found Yarmouth in the stables
adjoining the Baldwin house in very
precarious condition. The man was vom-
iting and was really very sick. An in
yestigation revealed the fact that he had
taken an overdose of laudanum, which
would have proved fatal without a
doubt, had not the would-be suicide at
tempted to make his work doubly sure
by taking heavy supplementary dose
of horse medicine The latter acted as
an emetic and antidote, causing the
sickness alluded to above, and saving
the mans life. He is doing well now.
and will doubtless recover. The only
reason assigned for the act is financial
worry, and this is mere conjecture.
Yarmouth is man about 45 years of
age, and has family. He has been
conducting the feed stable where he

Love VS.. Shotgun.
Vollmer Nedette.

Few, perhaps who have not had any
experience can imagine the depth of
everlasting, breaking, but vet I'M
requited love.
This was the feeling that agitated
the hearts Of two of Vollmer's most esti-
mable young men as they wended their
way to the home of their fair enamora-
Sa's; the future seemed constructed of a
bright halo, Of which love and cottage
is the central figure; not cloud dim
med the fair horizon of their magma
ton. With step as light and elastic as
livery stable or hotel clerk they wend-
ed their way up the rayine to the house
where heretofore all had been Joy and
bliss, but this night would find their
cup of bliss changed to one of bitterness.
A light knock at the door brought
one of the expectant and blushing
young ladies to the door, who immed1-
ately invited them in. After they were
seated few moments the irate father.
who had been in an adjoining room APP
peared and told the young men to alb
scond, to this they did not fully agree
and remained in their seats, thereupon
the now thoroughly angry father took
down an atiquated, but extremely reliable
old shotgun and slipped in shell, the
young men seeing that the old man
meant business, jumped up and prepared
to decamp, one Of them seized chair
and hurled it at the father with the force
of disappointed lover, with this they
fed The old gent jumped to the door
and followed them with an epithet and A
dharge of buck-shot. We suppose they
had gotten beyond range as we have not
heard Of the doctor being called in: its
safe to predict that they will go there
no more.
