Necessity of Good Leaders.


This paper has many times spoken
OF the necessity of keeping only thor
oughly good men at the head of the
organizations everywhere. The great
mistake has been here and there made
OF bringing forward broken-down poll
tlclans, who have for one reason or
another been forced out of or aban-
doned the old parties, and otherwise
disreputable men have in some way
forced their way to the front in too
many localities. Wherever such things
are true of Alliance leadership the
movement suffers greatly thereby. It
is only when headed bv men of known
probity and intelligence, and men at
the same time closely identified with
agriculture, that the movement COM
mands the respect which is its right.
we notice comment on this point in
many papers devoted to organization
interests. There seems to be a gener-
al d~eorecation of the disposition of so
many to yield leadership to incapable
men, who have the cheek to try to Sc
cure positions to which they are in no
n enuitled, either by reason of
ability or by Identification with the in
terests they assume to represent This
Is one of the mistakes which will one
OF these days be rectified, and is one
which must be rectified before the
movement assumes the dignifed pro-
portions by which we believe it will
vet be characterized.-Nat Farmer.

The Old Political Gamblers.
Farmers take to politics about as
readily as duck to swater;;'' but as
soon as they approach the pool they
are driven off by the old political
ganders who have had possession for
too many years. But the ducklings
are growing very fast in strength and
numbers, and the time is near at hanu
when the familiar squawk Of the pool

Madness with a rIethod.

Citizen Trains suggestion as to how
murderers should be punished is an
excellent one. And, unlike many of
his ideas. 1t appears thoroughly prac-
teal. Instead of executing the taker
OF human life or consigning him to
lifelong idleness in a penitentiary,
Citizen Train would sentence him to
7h~arcaabcr for the remainderAof his
days and bestow the surplus profits of
his toll upon the family or the nearest
kin of his victim. Thus at one stroke
the citizen would abolish the barbar-
ism of capital punishment compensate
to some extent the relatives of the
murdered person and really infict a
heavier penalty than death upon the
murderer.-Omaha World Herald.

HOUSE.

When Mr.. Edward Mcpherson,
OF Pennsylvania, by virtue of the
authority given him as clerk of the
House OF Representatives, called
the popular branch of th1 National
Legislature to order at noon to-day
nearly every seat on the floor was
filled by a member. Never since
the war had the House been consti-
tuted with so overwhelming q ma
jority of one politl al party. The
tidal wave of 1890 had carried Oh
its crest into the chamber Of te
House 236 Democratic members.
while only 80 Republicans, few
more than one-third of the number
OF Democrats. came in with the
undertow. For the first time
the new political organizaticn,
the Farmers Alliance, was repre-
sented in a National body. It's ad-
herents consisted of a mere hand
Itul. New faces were everywhere,
particularly among the Democrats
and many of the old familiar faces
were missing. The Napoleonic
countenance Of Maj. Mckinley was
not present. Cannon was not there,
neither was Baine of Pennsylvania,
another Of Reeds lieutenants.
1t wanted five minutes of noon
when the doors were thrown open
to the public. There was a rush
and q jam, hurrying and Jumping
over seats. Through the doors of
galleries a black mass formed in an
unbroken stream and it seemed for
a few minutes that some persons
would be crushed in the mad rush
for places. A minute before noon
ex-Speaker Reed walked into the
| House and sat down IN a seat on
the Republican side. Very few
people saw him in the moving throng
of members and there WAS no at
tempt at applause.
Bang. bang. bang, went the gavel
Of Clerk Nc Pherson, as the hands
of the clock came together at the
figure II. The buzzing Of voices
became more subdutd, but the clerk
was obliged to rap many times De-
fore he could bring the assembly to
order. Mr.. Mcpherson, address
ing the members present as Repre-
sentatives-elect, informed them that
the hour for the meeting Of the
House of Representatives of The
Fifty-seco Congress had arrived
and that the names of those whose
credentials bad been received would
be called. The roll call was then
begun, and as it proceeded the buzz
OF conversation became SO loud thai
the responses OF members could
hardly be heard.
Hon. Thos. B. Reed was the only
member whose name was applaud
ed. When he responded Here
there was an outburst of hand,
clapping in the galleries and among
the Republican members.
