saloon, and, after some talk over the
matter, TAFT proposed that they ,hake
the dice, first throw, and the lowest
man sign deed for his half to the
winner. This was agreeable to Nelson,
and the dice were produced. TAFT won
and Nelson, without quiver, walked
into Barney & Miller's office and exc
cuted the deed. This is the heaviest
dice throwing ever known in these
parts.
n move is on foot to equip the State
printing office with a large plant. 1t
is stated that bill will soon be intro
duced for an appropriation not to ex-
ceed SIC, 600 for the purchase of a print
ing outfit, also to amend the present
law regarding the State printer max
ing that Office salaried one. It is
said that this would prove a great saw
ing to the State and would prevent
the office from being a bidder for pri-
vate business, as at present. In no
other line Of business does the State
create an office supported from the
funds derived from the taxpayers and
then allow the officer at its head to
enter the field of private business after
being equipped by reason of the profits
from the office. If the State Printer
should hold that he is merely a con-
tractor, then let the law be such as
regulates all other contracts of the
State. 1t is stated that the State
Printers compensation amounts now
to 5000 or 5000 a year and the OBJ
iect is to reduce this to $4,000 or less.

A Growing Movement.

Little more than ten years ago by
invitation of the editor of The Rural a
few men who were interested in agri-
cultural pursuits assembled in The
Rural Office and organized Cook
County Farmers Alliance No. |. That
was the beginning OF this great move
ment. 1t has had its ups and downs
and for time it had more downs than
ups. For years that journal bore the
entire expense of the National ALI
ance, and at enc time the cause was at
such low ebb that it presented each
State Alliance with twenty five dollars
which was gladly received and put to
an excellent use. But the people
awakened gradually to a realization of
the necessity of organization, and the
work has gone on until to-day there
are between two millions and three
millions of farmers in the Alliance.
At the inception of the movement
there was no fixed determination to
make it political though the purpose
included everything that would serve
the interests Of the producer. Circum-
stances, however, forced the Alliance
into politics at the last election. The
men who were holding office-most of
them by the votes of the farmers
themselvcs-manifested an utter lack
OF interest in the welfare of agriculture.
and as the prosperity on our farms was
steadily declining, the farmer struck
out for himself politically. As a re-
suit he points to-day to fully five
hundred thousand farmers votes that
were cast as the pre- ducer thought
would do him the most good. He Sc
cured the balance of power in the Illi-
nois legislature; he made his influence
felt in Michigan; he was an important
factor in Iowa; he secured for his
cause over nifty thousand straight votes
in Minnesota and elected number of
the members of the legislature and in
Kansas he elected the entire congress
sional delegation with one exception.
In Nebraska and in South Dakota his
voting power was felt to the dismay of
the old political leaders. What the
future will develop, depends largely
upon the action of Congress and our
legislatures. The farmer who voted
against his old party at the last cleo
ton may act with his party at the
next election. 1t will largely depend
upon the course the party pursues.
The handwriting is on the wall, how
ever, and whoever will may read. The
farmers of this county will have JUS

4 communication from the fire
companies stating that Samuel Nc
Clelland had been elected Chief of the
Fire Department was read. 1t seems
that the present charter does not pro-
vide for such an officer, and as soon
as an ordinance creating the office is
passed, his election will probably be
approved.
Numerous bills were referred to
the Committee on Accounts.

resentation in All organization OF this
character, and we urge upon the en-
terprising citizens OF Washington to
encourage the formation OF local
Boards of Trade, if for no other pur-
pose than to give moral, and, If possi
bic, financial support to the State
Board of Trade, and to cooperate with
1t in any measure calculated to be of
value to the entire State. The richer
centers of trade and population are in
many instances investing large sums
of money in advertising their own
merits. This board will partially re-
lieve them of the expense of advertis-
ing the resources OF the State at large,
and at the same time will advertise
the advantages of the farming COM
munities and the smaller centers
which are financially unable to prose-
cute work of this kind. We believe
that the prosperity of any one locality
i, matter over which every other To-
c lity in the State should rejoice, and
every contributor to the expenses of
this board will derive benefit, not only
from the good done his own neigh
bOrhSod, but also from the good done
the whole State.
The executive committee is now
discussing and considering plans of
work to be accomplished during the
present year and every association,
person or corporation interested in
this board and its success should COM
municate Immediately with the Sec
retary, in order that he may be sup
piled with necessary information about
all parts of the State, and learn who
may be relied upon to give the sup

A COMING ISSUE.
The Election Of U. $. Senators by Pop
ular Vote.

The Washington Post of the 2d inst.
says that the question OF electing SEN
ators by the people has become prom
inent one in political circles. On the
Senate side of the Capitol the idea has
a strong supporter in Senator Mitchell
of Oregon, who made a logical and
able speech in favor of it about year
ago. In this speech he pointed out
that the election of Senators by the
people was considered by the founders
of the government and that the cleo
ton by the legislatures was fully adopt
ed only as n compromise between the
appointment of Senators by the Presi-
dent on the one extreme, and their
election by the people on the other.
Senator Mitchell believes that the
movement will result in benefit to all
concerned, because it looks to the right
of the people to be heard directly in
the election of Senators. at will
bring the people" says Senator Mitch
ell, "and the Senate into more amica-
BILE relations. 1t will remove the
prejudices now existing and which are
fast becoming deeply fastened upon
the public mind; it will involve a
spirit Of mutual forbearance and re-
spect as between the Senate and the
people, which unfortunately does not
exist to that degree that is desirable; ;
it will restore confidence; it will dissi-
pate all cause and excuse for unjust
criticism; it will tend to elevate the
character, advance the dignity and in
crease the usefulness and extend the
influence and justly magnify the power
OF the Senate, and at the same time
promote the welfare of all the people
of the republic"

One Man Power.
New York World.


The situation in Washington, in
some respects, could not possibly be
duplicated outside of Russia. There
are pending in the Senate two import
ant bills. One is the Force bill and
the other is the silver bill.
The Senate is a legislative body. In
the present Congress it is all the legis-
lative body in the Federal Govern
ment. The House of Representatives
does not deliberate. 1t simply regis
tiers the DEGREES of Speaker Reed.
Although the Senate is a legislative
body it is not free. 1t is not nearly SO
free as the British House of commons,
for example. The pendency OF the
two bills We have named limits its
freedom and places it more or less
under the control of Mr.. Reed.
Mr.. Reed favors the Force bill and
is against the Silver bill. The country
is waiting to learn, not what shall be
the result of the deliberations of Con-
gress as TO these two matters, but as
to what Speaker Reed will do. Will
he trade the Silver bill for the Force
bill so that both shall passG Will he
crafty his feeling against Mr.. Harrison
and permit the Silver bill to pass in
order to put the President ain a hole ?"
Will he refuse to permit it to pass at
the dictation of the money power, no
matter what may happen TO the Force
bill?
There is a strange situation in a
country that is supposed to be free and
self-governing. The question is, what
will Reed put upon the statute books :?
Will he give free silver in return for
the power to do his own registration,
counting and certitication Will he
risk the business interests of the coun-
try to vent his spite against the Presi-
dent?
Or will he use his House of Repre-
to crafty the moneyed in
terests that buys power for the Repub.
lican party in return for benefits con.

A NUMBER OF people are very anxious
TO know just what the wonderful lymph
invented by DR.. Koch, for the cure of
consumption, is composed of. A St.
Louis doctor explaining the matter,
says:
Now that DR.. Koch has given the
secret of the recipe TO the world of his
famous discovery, the world is just that
much better off. have the most un-
bounded faith in the lymph, and believe
that by its use consumption in its early
stages can be cured. From his pre-
scription I can now make the lymph.
1t is the product of fungus mixed with
glycerine, and this is q confirmation of
what surgeons and pathologists have
supposed it to be, Wig: Tuberculosi-
fungi grown artifcially, analogous to
the Pasteur method. 1t is only neces-
sary to inoculate a sterilized glass tube
partly filled with decomposition
which generally consists of beef broth
and gelatine. This decomposition is
sterilized by being heated and then
cooled. Then pure germ of the dis
ease is placed in the tube and put into
an oven heated to a temperature of 98
degrees. This is left in this incubator
three or four weeks, during which time
the fungus grows, and then we have
the lymph. The discovery is of i'm
mense value to the medical profession.
and consequently to the world. The
incubation to be successful, must be
used in connection with other treat
ment. 1t is great boon.

Hon. William Window, Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States,
died suddenly of heart disease on the
evening of the 10Th .ult., at q banquet
given by the New York Board of
Trade, at Delmonico's, in that city.
He had just finished q speech, and
taken his seat, when the grim mes
senger hurled his daA and closed the
earthly career of one of our brightest
statesmen. Mr.. Window was born
in Belmont county, Ohio, May 10,
1927. He received an academic edu-
cation and studied law at Mount Yer.
nou, Ohio. He was admitted TO the
bar in 1850. In 1852 he became
Prosecuting Attorney for Knox coun-
ty. In 1855 he removed to Minnesota
and was soon afterward chosen to 60
to Congress as a Republican, serving
from 1859 to 1869. In 1870 he WAS
appointed to the United States Sem
ate to fill the unexpired term Of
Daniel Norton. deceased, and was
subsequently chosen for the term end
ing in 1878. He was reelected for
the term that closed in 1883, and re-
signed in 1881 to enter the cabinet OF
President Garfield as Secretary of the.
Treasury, but retired on the accession
of President Arthur the same year,
and was elected by the Minnesota
Legislature to serve the remainder oi
his term in the Senate. He was ap-
pointed Secretary OF the Treasury by
President Harrison and was serving in
that capacity at the time OF his death.

A Million for Perquisites.

The Secretary of the United States
Senate expended over $1,00O,OOO for
perquisites, etc, for members of the
Senate last year. Among the articles
furnished Senators were 800 pairs of
pocket scissors, S14 pocket knives and
500 dozen cOrkscrews. Senator Squire
was furnished with a Webster's un-
abridged dictionary and stand, costing
$2l. But while no objection could
perhaps be raised to the above, why
should the nation be called upon 10
buy six bottles Italian cosmetics, one
dozen hair tonic, one Pond Lily wash,
seven gallons castor oil and one pair
anti rattlers9 But imagine eighty-four
Senators using $500 grains of quinine.
On November Sc, the record shows
that $2.76 was paid for repairing legs" 4"
Considering that the majority of SEN
ators are paupers, the nation should
repair their legs, buy hair oil, etc, for
them.
EX-GOVERNOR Moore does not use
ambiguous language in speaking of
the Senatorial contest. At recep-
ton given to Judge Calkins, at Ia
coma, he said, alluding to his chief
tain: He has returned from Olym-
pia, it is true, without the laurel
crown OF victory on his brow, but he
still holds the first place in the hearts
of the people OF Washington. Iwould
rather so down in the gloom OF defeat
with such a leader, than to victory
with such as he who is about to don
and for the second time embrace the
Senatorial toga. My heart is too full
of gall and warmhood to give utter
ance of temperate speech. At
another time, when the bitterness
has somewhat abated, will hope
for an opportunity to again express
myself"
