The campaign moves on apaoe
and every week Witnesses the hold
ing Of anti and pro meetings at
various points throughout the
State. The organs and leaders OF
the respective factions seem equally
confident OF victory, and the ac-
counts of the incidents and pro-
gress Of the canvass given the
public from these opposing sources
are quite as conflicting and con-
fusing as the news from Chill with
which the outside world was RECALLED
during the recent war in that
country.
The lottery papers, for instance,
gave glowing reports of monster
pro meetings at Natchitoches,
Washington and Lafayette, but
ignored the significant facts that
at Natchitoches . number OF citi-
zens who we're announced az VICE
presidents repudiated connection

What Does the Farmers Alliance
Want?


fTimes-DemocrAf.j
1t is becoming more and more
uncertain every day what the dis
tinctiye issue of the Farmers ALI
ance is. When it first started out
as a separate organization the sub
treasury and land-loan schemes
were put and kept mainly to the
front, and for year or more the
general belief was that the Alliance
would make recognition of those
schemes the tombstone Of Alliance
faith, and that the chief efforts Of
the order would be directed to
giving Legislative effect to those
schemes.
But the sub-treasury and govern
ment land-loan propositions have
almost disappeared already from
the platform of the Alliance. In
South Carolina Governor Tillman
has for months led a fierce opposi-
ton to the two schemes, with every
prospect Of being successful in
having them altogether eliminated
from the creed. In Virginia the
sub-treasury issue is hardly ever
mentioned, the question that en-
cages the attention of the Alliance
there to the exclusion of nearly
everything else being the govern
ment control of the railroads. In
Louisiana we learn from President
Adams that the members of the
Union are not agreed upon the
sub-treasury and land loan schemes
and that notifications of these
plans are likely to be made at an
early date.
In the west and Northwest The
only one Of the Ocala demands
that appears to be honored even
with passing notice Is tho free

Announcement.

Within a few days the capacity of
the Electric & Water cOmpany's in
candescent plant will be increased to
over 1900 16 candle power lights,
and the company will be able to sup
ply all who desire light. In the
future all new consumers must pay
share of the expense of preparing
a building for lights. Experience
has shown that the company cannot
afford to do the wiring free, but for
represent only part of the expense
will have to be borne by the con-
sumer. The prices will remain the
same, which are as follows for 16 C..
p. lamps per month:
Commercial circuit $3.50 p. m. so cts
Saloon circuit I'll O'Clock ).........75 cts
Residence circuit. .......................3O cts
All night. Observation-Disclosures. $l.W
Proportionate rate for lamps OF
greater capacity. 1t is the universal
custom of Electric companies to
charge for wiring, and the rates will
be very low. The price charged for
the current is much below that in
neighboring cities, and certainly
cheap enough. Parties who desire
incandescent lights are invited to
give orders for wiring and make con-
tracts at once, and there will be no
change in the policy of making con-
sumers pay a part of the expense of
wiring. Respectfully,
ELECTRIC & WATER Go.

Hon. C.B. Buchanan, was forced to
attend the district court in Little
Falls this week, as defendant in a
suit for the value OF stumpage of>piue
logs cut in the eastern part of this
county few years ago. Mr.. B. is
rather aversed to giving his time to
courts, and is inclinded to CON-
promise any business misunderstand-
ing he may have with another, but
when it comes to getting "stumpage"
out Of a genuine lumberman; then
you touch him in a tender spot.
Suppossing that Buck should he
in a party of Minneapolis lumber
men with whom he has extensive
business relation) and be pointed
out as "the man who had to pay for
stumpage in Morrison county,"
What would his. standing among
be then? A man has to
be worthy Of his associates, and no
true friend of the senator's can fail
to rejoice that a discriminating court
and good and true jury has spared
him the disgrace and humility that
an unfavorable' verdict would have
bestowed. While the Judgment Of
a few hundred dollars against him
would have been easily wiped out,
the stigma would have remained for
ever among his business associates.
He exerted himself to- protect his
commercial standing, and he can
again fearlessly greet any brother.
Virdict for the defendant, with judy
ment against plaintiff for costs.
