STOP THE CALAMITY HOWL.

The following is taken from the
Leavenworth Times, one Of the
leading alliance papers in Kansas.
It is plain that the Times, and we
might add, the more reputable OF
the alliance leaders in the state are
not in sympathy with such calamity
shrekers as Mary Ellen Lease and a
few other would be leaders who are
only trying to impose upon the
credulity of those who are un-
fortunate, but do not know what is
the matter. In this connection we
also give the comments of the
Osborne Farmer upon the same sub
jet and fully endorse it all:
The Times is not a calamity paper.
nor will it be. There are wrongs
that ought to be righted; there is
legislation that ought to be adopted
for the benefit of those who earn
their bread. But the Times believes
that this is a very good country,
and that here a man has the best
chance in the world We do not

TROUBLE LIKELY AHEAD.
The Alliance by no Means Unit on the
Sub-Treasury Scheme.

TOPEKA, July I3.-The indica-
tions are that the Alliance will split
wide open on the sub-treasury
scheme, The action Of the Texas
convention is general topic Of con-
versation here, and the views Of the
Alliance leaders are as diverse as
those of the members of the differ
ent organizations.
President McGrath of this state
is luke-warm on the sub-treasury
plan and in sympathy with the Mis-
souri, Alliance president, q. S. Hall,
in his fight for DR.. McCune.
DR.. McLallin, editor Of the ANi-
ance AdUocate, declares that the
Texas convention does not represent
the Alliance in that state and that
the Texas state president has
revoked the commissions Of the lee
lures who signed the call for the
convention. "There would be just
as much sense" said DR.. McLallin,
sin holding the Kansas Alliance re-
sponsible for resolutions adopted by
such Alliance men as William Sims,
Farmer Smith and Governor Click.
The convention was unquestionably
packed with Democratic heelers.
Hall of Missouri is not an Alliance
man, but a Democratic politician. :"
DIR. McLallin declares that the
Kansas Alliance is practically unit
on the sub-treasury plan, while 9TH
ers of the Alliance leaders say that
only one of the state lecturers, S. N.
Scott, Of Mcpherson, is making a
fight for it. The Peoples party
central committee for this county
has called convention for August
8 to nominate straight Peoples
party ticket. The Democrats and
Republicans. will both place tickets
in the field, making three corner
ed fight.-Star.

believe that we are ground beneath
the heel of oppression, or that Kan
sas is swamped in debt. Kansas IS
In debt, heavily in debt, but that
debt is the making of her. There
would be no Kansas If it were not
for that debt. Kansas will nav
every cent she owes. Probably f
payment were demanded tomorrow
she would be unable to meet it. but
so would three-fourths of the
banks of the country if asked to paw

are publishing to the world that
Kansas is bankrupt are a curse to
the state. They will do us infinite
harm. The people of the State who
care for her good name ought to
give these howlers to understand
this sort Of thing is unpopular.
Once they understand this they will
change their tune very quickly
Leaven,oorth Times.
''That then is the kind of an
alliance paper the Times alliance
to the extent Of desiring to see the
public wrongs righted. In this
sense the Farmer is an alliance
paper. It has been aware that there
were wrongs which should be righted,
but it has contended that the Re
publican party is composed, in great
part, Of honorable and intelligent
men, and that it, therefore, contains
the elements necessary to its own
publication. Politically, the
calamity howl has been all there was
to the alliance movement. When
the howlers change their tune, as
the Times advises, there will be
nothing left Of the alliance party.
Colonel Anthony is a Republican.
Under present conditions he can be
nothing else, because the creed of
the Republican party is his political
gospel. As the calamity howl dis
appears in the distance almost the
entire crowd Of well-meaning Re-
publicans who went off with the i'll
starred alliance political movement
will rejoin their old ranks. Such of
them as do not mean well may not
want back. "-Osborne Farmer.

Grafton. We can conceive Of nc
reason why these meetings should
not be SO conducted that teachers
will look forward to them each year
as a bright epoch in their profession
al work. It will be impossible to
keep them away. Always keeping
in sight that the principal object is
hard work and consequent improv-
ment.
Again, the community in
general would doubtless take deep
interest in these meetings if they
were given the opportunity, where
as, as rule, they take no interest.
We have a community of interest
and we know Of no reason why we
should not assist, except that we are
given to understand that we have
no part in the proceedings. We dc
not mean we are Informed that our
presence and encouragement are not
desired FOR we are nearl y always In
vited to "attend as often as conven-
lent and are made welcome when
we do go. But we do not mean
that. In making up the program,
make it with reference to the COM
munity. in small measure at least.
Make portion of the exercises so
that the patrons and officers will
have a special part or duty assigned
them. This should be done sparing-
ly Of course and with the idea that
the Institutes are not conducted
solely for the benefit of the teacher
but for the community at large.
Give our citizens an opportunity, at
least, to manifest an interest and
to show that they have the most
friendly feelings for those engaged
in the school work. The best way
to do this will readily suggest itself
to those in charge. Circumstances
and situations sometimes vary and
change, and besides, we are not CIV
ing advice, only offering suggestions
which can doubtless be amended.
To conclude addition to hard,
conscientious, intelligent work by
the teachers, we wish them to have
good sociable time, and we hope
their acquaintance with the citizens
will be mutually agreeable and en-
tirely cordial.
The conductor and instructors
are competent and We know of no
good reason why the 1891 session
should not be the best ever held in the
county, both as regards interest and
general results.

BURNED AND CRUSHED.


Nineteen Persons Injured by the Over
turning of an Engine.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Aug. 6.-News has
just reached here Of a frightful accident
which occurred at Il point called Switch
back, on the West Virginia Central Rail
road, about go miles from here.
Early in the morning, as usual, the
men, II in number, boarded tho tram
way engine to go to their work in the
lumber regions. Two women asked per-
mission to ride out q short distance to a
berry patch. Their request was granted
and the engine containing the 10 passsu-
gers started on its journey.
It had hardly gotten under good head
way when the engine struck a piece Of
timber that was lying on the track, turn
ing It over. The occurrence was so sud
den that none of the people on the en-
CINE had a chance to escape, aud all
were more or less injured, either by es-
Gaping steam or the fall of the engine.
In an instant everything was in an up
roar. Women screaming, men moaning,
and the escaping steam from the broken
pipes Of the engine presented a terrible
| sight. AS soon as the men who were the
least injured could extricate themselves
they went to work to release their more
unfortunate comrades, whose condition
was pitiable to behold.
The first person taken out was Alice
Robinson. Tho escaping steam had
cooked the flesh on her face, arms and
hands in a horrible manner, and her in
iuries are considered fatal. John Nc
| Kenzie, who lives at Frostburg, was
caught under the engine and scalded 50
badly that he died. Several others were
seriously, but not fatally, hurt.
AS soon as word could be sent the
physicians of Elk Garden, the nearest
! station, were tel%egraphed for, and they
responded promptly, relieving, as far as
possible, the sufferings of the injured.
