The Planet Saturn.

If we travel 396,00O,OO0 of miles
beyond the orbit of Jupiter, or s72,-
100000 of miles from the Sun, we
come to the planet Saturn. Any
mortal who has never taken an inter-
est in the wonders of the starry
heavens, and who will take q look at
Saturn through telescope at the
right time, will be astonished at the
magnitude and grandeur of the scene,
and his wonder and enthusiasm will
never cease. The globe of Saturn is
not so large as Jupiter, being only
71,904 miles in diameter; but its
magically strange and beautiful rings
thousands of miles wide circuliDg
around the golden. polished ball Of
the planet at different distances of
hundred Of thousands of miles, the
whole attended and beautifed by
eight sparkling Moons, changing and
whirling through the rings and
around the planet, all together make
the most enhancing vision seen by
mortal eyes. Thirty years on the
Earth is one year for Saturn. in which
time, or in 1879 of our days. Saturn,
with its rings and Moons travels 5, 700,-
100000 Of miles. which is the circum-
ference of its orbit about the Sun. 1t
moves in its orbit $4,000 miles an
hour, and in 80 years travels dis
lance which would require q 1000
years for railroad train running at
the rate of 30 miles an hour? AT in
teryals of fifteen years its rings are
edgewise or closed up to us. 1t was
the last planet known to the ancients
the outermost seen by the unalded
eye.-Word and Works.

Through tIle Wcary Hours


Of many night, made doubly. long by. its
protracted agony. the rheumatic sufferer
losses to and fro on his sleepless couch, vain
ly praying for that rest which only comes
BY fits and starts. His malady is one which
ordinary medicines too often fail to relieve,
but there is ample evidence 10 prove that
the efficient blood depurent, Hostetter's
Stomach Btters. affords the rheumatic re-
liable means Of relief. Check tho malady
in its insipient stages, when the first pre-
monitory twinges come on, with this agree
able medicine, and avoid years Of torture.
Whatever be the rationale Of the active in
fluence Of the Bitters upon this malady, GER
tain il is that no evidence relating to iis ef-
feet is more direct and positive than that
which relates to its. action In cases Of rheu-
matism. Like all sterling remedies, how
ever, il deserves pretracted, systematic
trial and should not be abandoned because
not Mt once remedial IL is equally efiica-
cious in dyspepsia, indigestion and kidney
diseases.

While all this time. the artist,
strolling idly along to observe the
various groups, came upon pale
faced girl in black-a girl with large,
melting wine-brown eyes, straight,
pure features, and tender, dark hair,
overhanging her forehead like a mist
of jet.
"Miss Ravenel," he cried, in
amazement.
Eyes, Miss Ravenel,' she smiled
back. "You are astonisbed to see me
here. But the doctor declared that
hop-picking would be the very best
thing for me. So aunt Vera brought
me, and here we are. And I am
really accomplishing wonders in the
hop.picking line Sit down here and
eat some of these delicious hot-house
grapes. They are sent to us daily by
an unknown benefactor. That u.s." as

smile. But, oh, he is so good !"
Mr.. Durell came down, in the glow
of the summer sunset, to the willow
shaded curve of the river where Miss
Ravenel liked to sit when her days
work was done.
II have brought you some of the
rare orchids from the conservatory"
said he. "You told me the other day
that you liked flowers"
II am so much obliged to you"
SAID she, gratefully. "But, Mr.. Dur
ell, l have something to tell you"
"Stop minute" he said. II have
something to tell you-that l love
you-that l want to make you my
wife Dear Miss Ravenel, are you
surprised at this? Have you not

lldllOS VI VIC AlilduC6' Inc IGSulb
has been that we, as the Alliance,
are credited before the world as the
champions of many crude measures
and desperate expedients touching
the complicated Questions of fl
nance and government, and have
been subjected within our respec-
tive party organizations both Re
publican and Democratic to much
ridicule and misrepresentation as
being the advocates of many polit-
ical heresies destructive of good
government and disruptive of ex-
listing political parties.
"Underthe circumstancesitseem
high time that there shall be some
authoritative response to'the ques-
ton, what are the real and legiti-
mate relations of the Alliance to
political parties, and what may we
venture to state as the opinion and
will of the Alliance touching prom
inent current questions in which,
as farmers, we are known to be in
terested and to have approximately
similar views J.?
"Notintending to attempted form
ulate a detailed and comprehensive
platform of principles and policies,
meeting every question likely to be
discussed by political parties, l will
venture to suggest the following as
embracing what may be fairly an
nounced as the will of the great
majority of our members touching
several important practical and
pressing questions;
"1) The Alliance as a brother
hood, whose membership is scatter
ed through every State in the union,
and is composed in about equal
numbers, Of Democrats and Re-
publicans, is opposed to the So
called "force BILL" as being sec
tional and partisan, and disruptive
of that fraternal union and broth
erhood which is one of the promi-
nept objects of the Alliance, and a
necessary element of good govern
ment and national stability.
"(2) We are practically unani-
nous in demanding an increase ii
the volume of national currency tC
an amount sufficient to meet all the
demands of trade and commerce
and that measures should be enact.
ed by which the same shall be in
creased to about $50 per capita Of
the whole population.
"(3) We favoran economical ant
honest administration of the Gov
eminent in all its branches ma
tional, State, county and municipal
"(4) We favor a reduction and {
readjustment Of tariff taxation, an(
suggest the following plan, which
is original with Hon. easy Young
ex-Congressman from the Mem
phis district:
"The plan embraces two objects
and requires two consistent enact
ments. The objects are each gen
orally approved, but [ have never
known them to be both compressed
as one project.
"The scheme is as follows:
cd Reduce national taxation
one-half, that is, under the exist
ing annual requirement of $500,
100000, reduce the tariff taxation t.
$250,OOO,0OO per annum, thus leav
ing a deficit of S25O,000,00O per an
mum not provided for by taxation
T(2) Pay this deficit in new is
sue of National Treasury notes re
ceivable for all debts, public ant
private, and. redeemable in specie
"(3) Continue this plan until tn
currency shall reach $50 per capita

debt-paying capacity in exact ratio
Of the increased current value Of
money, while the tariff diminished
our purchasing capacity by the ex-
TACT amount of the tariff imposed
upon our purchases, so that the
farmer suffered both ways selling
his products at a lower nominal
rate and buying at higher nomi-
nal rate.
"These simple problems we have
learned in the school of experience
and adversely, and we may safely
venture to demand more money,
lower taxation and an economical
administration of the Government.
When these demands meet, by Ell
Their great political party, hearty
response, and are incorporated in
its platform, it may be reasonably
expected that the Alliance will not
abandon principles and measures
by themselves professed and de-
manded for any consideration of
mere partisanship.
"But when the Alliance in its
councils, national or State, assumes,
as an organized body, to become a
political adjunct Of any party or
assumes to bind its membership to
any political compact or conspira-
cy, its identity, dignity and potency
as a brotherhood is destroyed and
the mission Of the grandest secular
order ever instituted in human his
tory will fail.
"Inrec discussions ofmeasures
supposed to be proposed in the in
interest of farmers notably sub
treasury loans on crops or lands
while | regard them both as i'm
practicable as measures Of relief to
the farmers, [ can not think that the
stereotyped bugaboo Of "paternal-
ism" is entitled to serious consid-
Grafton.
"The farmer knows that he has
been the victim of class Legislation
for more than a quarter of a cen.
tury, and feel; that, as a measure Of
restitution and relief from the eff.
feet Of class legislation, every con.
sideration of justice and honor re.
quires of the Government a pattern
al recognition of the fact notori
Gus and by all parties admitted
that measures of relief, designed tc
restore and to save that large anC
productive element of our popula
ton, can not be Justly characteriz
ed as paternalism in its obnoxious
sense. The conscience of a natio1
or considerations of a compulsory
public policy will yet respond t.
the unanimous demand Of 20 pc.
cent. Of its people that equitie
shall be restored and justice, lon!
delayed, enacted into practical Law
for the relief of farmers from tn,
direful effects of unequal laws, un
I der which they have become pract
ically slaves to plutocracy, tn
richest and most potent known il
the history of a representative gov
eminent The establishment o
equities and the enforcement o
, justice is practical paternalism, ant
, such paternalism is the natural am
just response Of democratic govern
ment to the just demands of pa
triotic citizenship.
"When the last census shows tn
aggregate Of farm mortgages t.
, amount to the appalling sum o
{ $2,50O,OOO,00Q the Alliance-rep
{ resenting this unfortunate class o
citizenship, and representing, too
the millions whose labor in feel,

that this measure will have the
hearty approval of the united ALI
ance and will be accepted as a sub
stitute for the sub-treasury plan
plan which never had the sup
port Of SO large number of its
membership as to authorize its &C
ceptance and PRONUNCIATION as Al
lance doctrine at the Ocala con-
vention.
"Uponthe subject of free coinage
and the tariff there is in the Ali
ance so much diversity Of opinion
that there is no justification of any
official announcement Of the Ali
ance view Of either Of them.
again, whatever platform of po-
litical principles. or purposes the
Alliance may announce, it carries
no authority over its individual
members if in conflict with their
personal political views or obliga-
lions, and the whole value of such
announcements is in their truth as
message to political parties mott
flying them of the wish and senti-
ment Of the majority of the men,
bersAip Of the Alliance.
"Again, the Alliance can not bind
its membership in detail to any po-
litical contract or compact what
ever, whether it be to disrupt one
party or support another. Yet it
may and always should express its
will SO far as it can safely venture
to represent it, to the end that to
both parties, the Democratic and
the Republican, the will and senti-
ment Of the Alliance may be known
to the end that in the construc-
ton Of their respective party plat
forms the Alliance may exert an
influence commensurate with it's
importance as real political power
in the land.
whatever views Of political
questions the Alliance may enter
tain, it is all that they can venture
to do to advocate their adoption by
uniting political parties and fight
for them within party lines.
"The thirdparty, constructedup-
on expectation of Alliance support,
looks to perversion of true Ali
ance principles and a diversion of
it's fraternal forces from the bene-
fcent and legitimate objects Of its
organization.
II will admit, however, that il
after the Alliance has reached ap-
proximate unanimity upon great
issues thatconcernt their prosperity
they will have the right to demand
of dominant political parties theil
support of such views and meas.
ures, and then, if ignored, and per.
haps ridiculed, but not till then
can the Alliance ever consider the
expedient of rupture of existing
party affiliations or cooperation
with a third party; and such actor
can not have any authority beyond
that of a mere recommendation tt
its members.
at is true that there rests upor
every member of the Alliance al
obligation, both assumed and i'm
piled, to cooperate and act in uni
son with the brotherhood, but the
measure of each individuals duty
not to be found in orders and reso
lutions Of the Alliance, but in thu
conscience and will of the individ
ual, if, the matter under considera
ton concerns matters of persona
fealty to party or to God.
1t can not be expected that sucl
an organization as the Alliance
shall attempt to solve all the grea
problems, social and political, tina
come up in the history of human
life, and when in our national coun
, ellis an attempt is made to promul
gate Alliance dicta upon all til,
