The Alton Boycott.

A very uneasy feeling pervades western
passenger circles on account of the boycott
issued against the Alton by the eastern
roads. Strong fears are entertained that it
will result in she total decentralization of
rates throughout western territory. Should
this occur the western roads will be the in
nocent sufferers on account OF the action
of the eastern Dads. Although the Alton
has given no hint of ita intentions in the
matter it would surprise nobody if 1t should
withdraw from the Western Passenger ssso-
citation on account of the support the other
roads in it are giving the eastern roads. 1t
would then be a free lance in the field and
its we'll known aggresslveness and persist
ence in any cause it undertakes TO carry out,
makes such action on its part greatly to be
dreaded. Even should it remain in the as
ISOLATION it can cause wholesale dernorali-
cation in rates while still acting under the
agreement. Provision is made in that
agreement for the protection of any road
against unequal competition in any way that
may be necessary, By their refusal to sell
through tickets over the Alton the other
roads have placed 1t within it's power to ap-
point other and as many agents as it
pleases in the field. Thu market will doubt
less be flooded with Alton tickets. They
must be cold at such reduced proportions
Tor the local haul rs will enable the Alton
TO Sell through tickets at through rates and
still pay the eastern roads full local tariffs
1or eevry passenger it sends over them.
Ihls Will tend to demoraliZe local rates.
and altogether the prospect for the mainte-
nance OF full tariffs in western territory il

Butte yesterday, and from there will return
direct to st. Paul. Mr.. Pond came to Mon
tana to arrange with the Montana Union

Elected as a Democrat, through a Demo-

trayed, while Georgians we're intensely in
terested in the success of their candidate,
Watson stood off among strangers and
leered at his Countrymen. When one vote

of Georgia.
And now catch the following from the

Mr.. Turner. "Georgians should all feel
proud Of the position which their state .Oc-

won."
Mr.. Moses: ~ believed in Crisp from

enough TO array Alliance men for him."
Mr.. Livingston: ~ have acted for the

of the people. The people have recently
formulated some demands, which the De-
mOcracy, by the election Of Mr.. Crisp, has

The following matter from Mr.. Watson
to the Peoples Party Paper at Atlanta
shows that there was no need "of Savan-
nah'S artillery punch" to celebrate Crisp'S
victory. Read the following:
Underneath the room in which the Dcnao-
cratic caucus was held a bar room was in
full blast. Eight or ten walters almost
crushed each other in the haste necessary TO
serve thirsty Congressman and lobbyists
with wines, Whiskies and beer. Let the pe0-
pie at home bear in mind that this bar
room is situated in the marble capitol built
with their tax money.
In this beastly way do the officials Of the
government de6le the temple Of che people

One of the ancient philosophers, who
was wont to utter sententlous remarks,
put forth the following: "Vice, virtue
and time are three things that never
stand still"
One Of the last roses Of summer for
Kansas Republicans was uttered jointly
and collectively by a committee of nine
political barnacles, as q supreme ex-
tremity of their wisdom in these glowing
words:
''Our debts stand for our investments and
and not for our losses. They represent our
enterprise, and not our misfortune; our
property, and not our poverty.
''Kansas is emerging from an era Of gen.
ersl depression that is not limited TO state
lines.
'The wandering vagabonds who have
joined the Alliance for political purposes
only, and who are trying to make living
by the sweat of their jaws instead of honest
toll, will of course fail to pay their debts" ("
Now as misfortunes never come singly,
and as "with what judgment ye judge, ye
shall be judged again." the following
literary political exotic is submitted. 1t

of yesterday, and furnishes a striking,
telling commentary on the enterprise,

HE WANTS THE EARTH.
Governor Humphrey, of Kansas, seems to
be a modest person. All he wants is the
best of everything and lots Of it. What's
more, he wants things free of charge. Il
appears that in Kansas there is no fund set
apart for the governors little luxuries, so
that he must either pay for things or induce
their owners to part with them. few CEN
turies ago, gentlemen of lofty spirits and
large needs could crafty their appetites by
the simple and earnest process of taking
whatever happened to strike their fancy,
and no doubt Governor Humphrey, had he
lived in those days, would have been in it
with all four feet. But in these degenerate
times people must pay or beg, unless they
are willing to steal, and the Kansas COVER
nor, with all the naughty instincts of Sir
Walter Raleigh or a Sir John Hawkins, finds
himself compelled to reach for things in
this humiliating style:

"This refreshing proposition was probably
sent out in circular form, but the copy
quoted above is taken from the columns of
the New York Mirror, one of the brightest
and most entertaining of the periodicals de-
voted to the drama. Commenting upon the
same, the Mirror takes occasion to say
that in the whole course Of It's existence 1t
has encountered no sHca demonstration of
pure, unadulterated gall. And it adds:
"After giving to an appreciative public the

sit would be interesting to know just how
many and what class of newspapers, peri
odicals, etc., Governor Humphrey has been
enabled to "Spread upon the tables of the
reception room for the comfort and pleasure
of visitors" as the result of his appeal to
the almsgiving propensities of property
holders. A publication of the list might
serve to encourage other governors who
know what they want and are not too bash
full to ask for it."
