IngersOlI on California.

Mr.. Ingersoll says: ''The climate of south
ern California in winter closely resembles that
OF Egypt. Its equabllity is constant, and its
dryness is proverbial. The only complaint
made Is, that it is too nearly lerfect. Resi-
dents bred in the eastern states confess now
and then that rousing storm would give
chem grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
jIst fed from superfiuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance of disease the still and
arid atmosphereis is as the breath of life"

The Sort of Article Feminine Customers

1t is fact that it pays retailers in
certain lines of business to employ
handsome and ornamental male clerks,
just as much as it is profitable for con-
fectionery stores to present the smiles
of pretty girl with every box of bon
bons. We may soar as high as we will
in our philosophy, yet the vulgar truth
remains that in the hundreds of thou
sands of women shoppers in New York
there is large class that enjoys being
waited upon by good-looking man.
A merchant who deals in various
charming and delicate articles intended
for feminine use was discussing this
point recently.

good-looking clerks. 1t took me long

SLIISH

Politics makes strange De1-fellows L. L.
Polk, the North Carolina "ref0rmer," and Bill
Snow, q notorious Southern Pacific lobbyist Of
California, have formed combination to make
Leland Stanford, the millionaire railroad king
the nominee of the National Farmers Alliance
for president. Polk Is already In California
working on the scheme, and In his endeaVorS he
does not lack for money. Stanford is deter
mined to get the nomination and money will be
used .lavlshly among the leaders Of the new
party. The project is to be engineered as a
mighty uprising of the farmers Of America
Stanford will not appear as seeking the nOmina-
ton. II they fail to rise and come shouting, he
can say that he never was candldate.-Kansds
City Star.
The above is q fair sample Of the
slop which the old party papers are
daily dealing out to their readers. If
the name of Leland Stanford were
submitted to the people as q candi-
date for president he could not get
one Alliance vote in 5000. The Cali
fornia Alliance is opposed to him, and
SO also is President Polk. We speak
advisedly on this subject. President
Polk is in California in attendance
upon the state Alliance meeting, and
upon official business only. The re-
liability of these old party papers in
general, and of the Star in particular,
is something marvellous.

THAT LIVINGSTON FORGERY.

The conscienceless nincompoops OF
of the Topeka Capital the Lawrence
Journal and the Emporia Republican
continue to reiterate the forged letter
of L. F. Livingston, Of Georgia, de-
Claring that when the Alliance gets
in power it will Rbrogate all pension
legislation. We have repeatedly
shown this to be a forgery, and yet it
continues to go, simply because the
campaign of the Republican party is
based upon the hope of exciting and
maintaining sectional prejudice, and
forgery, and deception are the means
relied upon to sustain this prejudice.
The party has pursued this policy ever
since the war, and has tried it now in
two successive campaigns against the
Peoples party in Kansas. Will this
class Of politicians be satisfied with
the results of these two campaigns,
or will they try it again next year?
Time will tell.

A DISGRACE TO JOURNALISM.

One OF the incidents Of the recent
State Alliance which, from various
causes we could mention last week,
was the capture Of an enterprising
journalistic genius who had concealed
himself in a dark garret over the
opera house for the purpose of clan
destinely obtaining the secret pro-
ceedings of the meeting. His name
is Fl. j. Allen, and he stated that he
was reporting for the Kansas City
Journal, the Globe Democrat, the
Chicago Tribune and the Salina Re
publican. 1t was thought strange at
the the time that he did no include
the Topeka Capital in his list. The
Capital however, has made its boast
subsequently that its reporter was
likewise concealed in the loft and was
not caught. These achievements are
undoubtedly matters Of pride to these
great God and morality journals, the
high-toned representatives Of the only
great party Of principle in the United
States.
If any man should be detected in
like manner attempting to obtain the
proceedings of a lodge Of Free
Masons or Odd Fellows, these same
great moral journals would designate
him as a sneak, and would notregsrd
his achievement as one of which
either he or his friends had reason to
be especially proud. This, however,
is an Alliance meeting, and in ITS
dealing with that organization, honor
is not a consideration worthy Of
moments though with Republicans.
These young men may think them
selves exceedingly sharp, and the
great journals in whose service they
thus prostitute their manhood may
regard such services as specially
meritorious, but we doubt if the par
ents Of the young men will feel any
great thrill of pride in this kind Of
work in which their offspring are en-
gagged. It is not q matter Of which
any of them will feel particularly
proud in the coming years.

The advocate., 1891-11-04


to have noticed this affair last week,
but could not do so. The plain facts
relating to it are as follows:
The Alliance people in tho vicinity
Of Bslleville had advertised a public
meeting in that city on the 18th, and
had secured the opera house for that
purpose. The day being fair it was
found that the crowd was too great to
be accommodated in the building,
and it was therefore arranged to hold
the meeting across the street in the
open air. The people assembled aC-
cording to arrangement, and the
speaker Of the day began his speech.
He had scarcely opened his remarks,
however, when q brass band belong
ing to a minstrel troup that was in
the town marched upon the platform
of the opera house across the street
and began to play with such vigor as
to entirely drown his voice, and he
discontinued his speech until the
piece was concluded. A Committe
from the audience waited upon the
members Of the band and requested
them not to make any further dis
turbance. This request they disre-
garded, and continued to play with
much vigor, and with the evident
purpose of continuing until they
broke up the meeting. Finding re-
monstrance unavsiling, about five or
six hundred men started across the
street, probably animated by no very
smiable feeling towards the lntrud-
ers; and upon their approach the
band beat a hssty retreat. Members
of the band afterwards apologized for
their conduct, and stated that they
were induced to create the disturb
snce by the Republican deputy sheriff
of Republic county and other promi'
ment Republicans Of Belleville, the
deputy sheriff telling them that he
would protect them with guns il nee
esssry.
These are the plain facts Of the
case. OF course the Capital will
have no word of censure for these Re-
publicans for their attempt to disturb
and break up peaceable meeting Of
citizens Of Republic county. That
was all right because the meeting
was an Alliance meeting and the dis
turbers were leading representatives
Of the great "God and morality party"
The Capital makes no reference
whatever to the outrage attempted
by the Republican leaders, and with
it's customary mendacity, attempts to
fasten upon the farmers the crime OF
lawlessness, because they were not
disposed to submit quietly to the In
suit and the imposition sought TO be
imposed upon them.
Human nature is very much
alike everywhere, and We apprehend
that it would be difficult 10 find
class of people Of any party that
would tamely submit to an outrage
like that attempted upon the farmers
