SOME PLAIN. TALK.

L
Frank McGraih, cx-president of the
Kansas Farmers Alliance, has been
kicked out of Office, and from the re.
gions Of innocuous dessue;ude he
sends forth a most mournful tale Of
woe and gives utterance to words OF
warning that will If not needed cause
the disruption of both the Farmers
Alliance and the Peoples party. Nc
Grath has been the leader Of the con-
sentative element OF the Alliance and
has entered many vigorous protest
against the irrational. impracticable
and unconstitutional measures advo-
Gated by the socialistic wing of the
Peoples party, and he has endeavored
to restrain the extremists in their
wild utterances time and again. but
the opposition was to9 strong for him
and he has been Obliged to snccnmb.
"rhe Peoples party" he says, sis
doing much to disrupt the Alliance,
for The reason that il has been con-
trolled 10y class of men who are NOT
in sympathy with farmers. A year
ago the Farmers Alliance in Kansas
had q membership Of 100000 in good
standing on the books. Now it has
less than 10000. If the order is saved
from total wreck, wind aud gush must
give way to brains ana sound business
judgment. Or supply Of talent and
brains is small, and unless we can use
il in the right place we can hope for
no recruits"
This is certainly a gloomy outlook
for the great Third party, but Nc
Grath knows more about the true COLI
dition of affairs than any other man
in it. He says the crowd that arc now
in control are a set of free lovers,
atheists, anarchists, socialists. aud will
Sight every principle which goes to
make up good society"
If this is true how can the church
going, God-tearing, order-loving citi-
zens longer train in the ranks? There
Is no doubt that large majority of
the 10000 "still on the books are hon.
est in their opinions and have no SYM
palhy with the heresies taught by the
Vincents, the Leases, the Folks and
others of The same ilk, but that ignis
fatuus, fiat money, is still held out to
them by the well paid orators and
they ignore all other issues.
The ex-prcsident, in closing his in
terview, solemnly affims that II want
it distinctly understood that am still
as devoted to the Alliance cause as
ever was, but remember, however,
that the Alliance Is not the Peoples
party, and the two organizations

An, Alliance mathematician has
figured. that the farmers OF Kansas
have paid more hard cash into the
e!ectioneering fund than their taxes
amount to. 1t must take good deal
of money TO elect an Alliance candi-
date or the taxes on Kansas farms are
very low. It seems strange to us that
the sensible farmers Of Kansas would
submit TO be taxed twice over in order
TO elect a set of men to fill fat offices.
There were nineteen Alliance candi-
dates for a single office at our1ast
county convention. The law govern
ing demand and supply may not apply
ia this case, hut it is very proper that
these anxious patriots who get the
salaries should pay the bills.

Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, ex-Pres-
ident of the United States, and one
of the Peabody trustees, at a meeting
in Cleveland, Ohio, said: I'm this
day it is plainly to be seen that there
is wide spread and grave discon-
tent with the existing methods and
principles of business, with the distri-
button of wealth, and even with the

tiOns the New Testament is read and
studied as it was never read and
studied before. Is property trust
in private hands for the welfare of So
ciety? Is this the true sense in which
vested rights are sacred? So the
novel, the pulpit and the newspaper
begin to teach. These are forces to
be considered. We do not forget
that u single novel from the pen of a
gifted woman sounded the knell of
slavery in the very moment of it's ex-
tremest audacity and power. Who
are the wise friends in the prosperous
classes of vested rights and the pres
ent social order? Shall we not NAM

\ re... Mayor A...uls. Sam Jones.

A series of meetings held at
Palestine, Tex, in November, excited
much comment for the vigorous
manner in which he assailed sinners
is general and several individuals in
particular. Among those who were
sharply rebuked was Mayor J. J.
Word, to whose official and private
character the Rev. Mr.. Jones alluded,
in the severest and most pointed
terms. The mayor was absent from
the city at the time. The announce
ment that the well-known evangelist
would be there again on Tuesday to
deliver his lecture "Get There"
caused great deal of excitement,
and there was . rush to secure seats.
Mr.. Jones arrived on time and the
lecture was duly delivered before
large audience. At the station, just
before the evangelist took a train
for the West, Mayor Word was seen
approaching him, uttering a few
words. The Mayor then vigorously
attacked him with a cane. In the
struggle the cane changed hands and
the Mayor received several blows be-
fore the bystanders could part the
angry combatants. Heavy bruises
were inflicted and both bled profuse-
ly. Mayor Word was subsequently
arrested and placed under bonds for
aggravated assault and for carving
a pistol. The mayor avows his right
to carry weapons, and declares that
he had no intention of carrying his
resentment further than Gaming the
evangelist.
The news of the encounter soon
spread throughout the city. After
a hasty meeting of citizens hand
bills were issued calling for a mass
meeting for the purpose of condemn
ing the attack Of the Mayor. The
act of mayor Word is generally
denounced, while there is an ele-
ment averse to attacks upon private
character, such as are occasionally
made by Sam Jones in his pulpit
zeal
