The burning Issue.

The Farmers Alliance at its Ocala
meeting knew what it was about when
it announced financial reform as the
slogan of the future.
President Lincoln, at the close of the
war, when asked what would be the
leading issue afterward, replied, "The
financial question win be the most i'm
portant one for generation to come"
1t requires neither a prophet nor the
son of prophet to see that the masses
are going to make strong and deter
mined fight to throw off the financial
shackles forced upon them by the privi-
legged classes-the Wall street money
kings and the monopofists. Now that
sectionalism is dead and the force bill a
thing of the past, this looms up as the
supreme issue. The south and west will
make common cause in the coming strus-
gle. They will stand together for tariff
reform, free silver coinage and money
for the people--money that will not be
entirely subject to the juggling contrac-
ton tricks of Wall street.-Atlanta Con-
stitution

In recent interview with repre-
sentative of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat, President Polk had something inter
esting to say about the Stanford land
bill" This measure, it seems, has not
been taken up by the Alliance. 1t is a
bill introduced by Senator Stanford "to
supply the national want of sound cir
culating medium" The plan is to loan
government money on agricultural lands
at per cent. interest. But it appears
that the Stanford bill is not satisfactory
to the Alliance people in its present
form. President Polk said:
The term agricultural land" in this
bill should be specific, and should be
construed to mean such lands as shall be
cultivated or intended to be cultivated
for agricultural and horticultural prod
ucts. The great fear to be apprehended
about the provisions of the bill rs it now
stands is that it may eventually lead to
a system Of oppressive lsndlordism. The
safety of this republic, in my Judgment.
rests in the preservation of a stanch and
prosperous middle class Of people. II the
bill can be sufficiently guarded to pro-
tect the interests of that class, and it is
practicable to make its provisions basis
for an issue of currency which can be
adjusted to meet the varying conditions
of our trade and commerce, it will Sc
cure the sanction of the great masses of
the American people.

Here is an argument that VIII cause a
good deal Of merriment. A millionaire
says:
1.-The real estate within the borders Of
the commonwealth should properly bear
the burden of taxation, as heretofore.
That kind of property can always be dis
covered, and its value is readily aecer-
tainable, without encouraging perjury OF
prying into private affairs"
There, farmers, You have the gist of
the whole matter in a nutshell. It is
not right or just that real estate should
be made to bear nearly all the burdens
of taxation; but, you see, real estahe
owners should submit 10 tins injustice
in order TO keep the other chaps from
committing perjury. Then no man
can hide his farm from the eyes of the
assessor, but he can conceal his stock
certificates, mortgages and judgments,
and because real estate can't be con-
cealed it ought bear the burden Of taxa
ton. Farmers, what do you think OF
the logic of this millionaire? Is it not
enough to stir you up and cause you to
overwhelm the Legislature with pet-
tions and letters in favor Of q new and
better and more equitable tax law

When the members returned to Wash-
ington at the beginning of the present
session, Representative Wilson, of Mis-
souri,, pulled from his pocket corn-cob
pipe and filled it for smoke. He hap
pened to meet Farmer Wade in the
hotel lobby, and jocularly remarked:
well, colleague, you will observe that
in Difference to the prevailing sentiment
l am now smoking the farmer style Of
pipe"
Reaching around to his own coat tail
pocket Farmer Wade likewise pulled out
corn-cob pipe, and said: ''Since the
election am pretty fond Of that sort Of
pipe myself Please give me a little Of
your tobacco, Judge Wilson
The dashing congressional swell, Mr..
Stahlnecker, of Yonkers, N. Y, is a

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiained condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflaned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and the
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrhl that we can not cure by
taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Drew Straws for a Bride.

A story Of brutal assault, murder
and swift vengea nee on the two muir
derers comes from Sandy Hook, a
mountain town near Ashland, in
Eastern Kentucky Near Sandy
Hook. Maud Fleenor died recently
from being thrown by her horse and
assaulted by George and John Will
cox. brothers. who had been sultors.
She had promised to marry Amos
Queen, who had met her while she
was teaching school near Sandy

started to visit "a friend near where
she had taught The WilcoXes were
passing the road she travelled, saw
her coming. hid in the bushes aud

away. Miss Fleenor was thrown and
both legs broken.
The Wilcoxes picked her up I'M
conscious, revived her, drew straws
as to which she should be compelled
to marry, bore her to cabin and
demanded that she agree to marry
John, to whose lot she fell. She re-
fused and tainted. They tried to set
her legs and kept her prisoner In
the cabin. When found by her
brother and her betrothed she said
the Wilcoxes did it and died soon af-
ter. The examination showed that
she had been chained to the cabin
wall and also had been outraged.
The WilcoXes were captured ana

izen of Richmond, Va, who moved to
Sandy Hook some years ago and died
there. She was only 81 years old, a
