EVERY paper, church, society, and al
most every thinking individual in the
civilized world is giving much thought
to religious matters. Perhaps ut no time
during the existence Of civilized govern
ments has there been so much thought
upon the subject of mans future as at
the present time. People of all beliefs,
many who have been firm in their Opin-
ions and had considered themselves I'M
changeable in their views have been Civ
ing the subject the same careful thought
that other matters of vital importance
demand. What the result of this con-
centrated thought will be remains for the
future to tell. But one thing is certain,
the search for truth will do no harm.
That truth is mighty and will prevail, is
us true to-day as at the time the idea was
first conceived. No matter what. or how
firm and deep our convictions may be,
we should not discourage the individual
in his search for truth. Opinions in mat
tiers Of grave import should neither be
lightly formed nor cast aside. There is
no reason why those whose opinions are
founded upon WI It they believe to be an
everlasting foundation should feel griev-
ed on account of the so-called liberal
views of the present age, for he who
searches through all the fields within his
power is no more likely to be misled than
one who confines his investigations
within narrow limits. and is it not pos
sibIe that he may catch some CLEAN of
light that did not fall within the vision
of the equally earnest searcher who con-
fines his search to certain lines. So long
as the desire to find truth instead of at
tain nOtoriety permeates the mind and
heart of man no alarm need be felt as to
the final outcome.

PRESIDENT HALL of the Missouri
State Alliance. seems to be not only an
honest. but a very sensible man. From
a recent speech in which he said many
appropriate things, and gave much good
advise, we take the following:
whenever we so far forget our alliance as
| to advocate that special favOrs be granted to
the raisers CT corn wheat, oats, tobacco and
cotton that cannot be granted to the millions
of equally deserving labOring poor of our
land, we then declare to the world that our
noble order is not complaining of the rob-
berry of our government by class legislation,
but is complaining because we are not with
the robbers
Mr.. Hall certainly states his views in a
way that cannot be misunderstood. and
we believe that a large majority of the
farmers agree with him as to not only
the absurdity. but the unfairness of the
sub-treasury scheme. The majority of
farmers. as all other men engaged in
legitimate occupation, are honest. but a
man cannot be considered both honest
and wise who nphOlds any dishonest
measure. We hope there are enough
men of Mr.. Halls calibre who are inter-
ested in the alliance for the good it may
accomplish. to keep it together. No
trade or business needs a general knowl-
edge of the wants of the world and the
ability to correctly judge as to the prob
able effect of any proposed legislation,
more than does the farmer. A use of the
offered by association and
the discussion of questions from all sides
with determination to get at the facts
instead of cover them up is sure to result
in good. But if the intention is to form
an idea Of what you want and then dis
tort facts If they are against you or re-
fuse to listen to the statements of friends
whose Information is at least equal to
your own is sure to result in little good.
Silly vapOrings and utopian prophesies
are as poor foundation upon which to
build party as are perishable farm pro-
ducts and an unlimited use of the govern.
ment fiat for financial system.

Now girls stop wishing you were. and
trying SO hard to be women. Don't neg
lect the happy time of life, or lose it by
longing for young ladyhood. Be just
what you are now, you can never be

industrious and as full of innocent fun as
You can. The trials of maturity and the
work and duty of life come ere one is
aware. so lengthen out your Sirlhood as
long as possible and seek not to appear

years are amusing failures so far as fool

of the action of Secretary Foster. in of
feling to extend $4,000. 600 worth of

Altogether too Gingerly.
From the Minneapolis Messenger.

| From the Minneapolis Messenger.
The Hutchinson Ncsvs is troubled very
much at the attitude of the republican
press. in its abuse of the alliance and al
lance methods. We have noticed for d
long time that the 1Nes:S has been shaky
in its political creed. seeming desire as
it were to get over on the other side. The
News says no one was ever won over
by abuse and advises the republican
press to handle the Peoples party with
gloves on. The trouble with the people
of the Neus kind, that are half over the
fence, on the other side in politics, is they
can't distinguish what is abuse and
what is not. The trouble all along. has
been with the republican press in Kan
sas is that they have handled the far
mers' alliance nonsense with gloves on.
In its inciplency in this state the re-
publican press was either silent, or sent
out great long articles of the great things
to be accomplished, by farmers binding
together for their own good but always
advised them to keep their alliances free
from politics.
There is not newspaper man in the
state, but knew that from the very start
that the alliance was political Organiza-
ton. Organized for that purpose by
those behind it and directing it. and yet
it was patted on the back and tacitly en-
couraged by the republican press that
knew, or ought to have known what was
coming.
They knew that there was not an or
ganizer in the field that was friendly to
the republican party. Go into all the
counties of Kansas, and in every instance
the fellows that were active in organic
ing alliances was either democrat or
union labor man. Then was the time to
have kept the gloves off and pounded the
life out Of the process, by which the far
mers of Kansas were led by lot of
scheming politicians and demagogues
into a political alliance, that has been
the means of doing more injury to Kan
sas than the drOuths of all the past years.
But it is never too late to do good. and
we notice with satisfaction that the boys
have removed their '.kids" and are ask
ing no quarters at the hands of the gang
of blatherskites who are preaching re-
form in this state.
The Meas may call it abuse, but those
not so sensitive will recognize, that the
showing up of such demagogues as Simp-
son. Sam Wood. Ben Clover, John Davis
and Mrs. Lease, can not be very harsh,
considering their records. These people
never lose an opportunity to heap abuse
on republicans. Such mild terms as
thieves, scOundrels, bloodsuckers. ETC..
are hurled at republicans by these Peo-
pie party speakers. The papers of that
party are no less mild in their denuncia-
ton of men whose only crime is that they
are republicans, as il it were a crime.

to start the scheme. This was Carneyie's

into use; he invested some of his profits

fact this industrious man has done more
for the poor people of the United States
than all the howlers in our country have

Belgium as an illustIiOas example of a

report on the condition of the working
classes in Belgium, which we respectfully
commend to the American friends of free
trade. This official report says that. in

probably when the husband and father
does not happen to be earning the free
trade wages of sixty-three cents day.

amount. And yet Belgium is a hive of

PRorEcrIoN AND FREE SUGAR.

s'If free sugar is messenger of glad
tidings, why not other necessaries: asks
a small Ohio contemporary. echoing free
trade organs in eastern cities. "Why
shouldn't tariff reduction affect clOthiss
and blankets, hats, carpets and every
thing else in the same way?" There is
an old adage about answering fool ac-
cording to his folly, which tempts us to
ask this writer if brains are intended to
solve human problems, why he does not
use his own to answer his inquiries, but
on second consideration we do not think
brains are part of his make up. Hence
we again reply to these questions. We
cannot supply ourselves with sugar. We
produce but 10 per cent of what We con-
sumo. Sugar is therefore noncompet-
tive article and has been put on the free
list where all noncompetitive articles
belong under the protective policy. We
can make clothing, hats. caps and blank
cts to supply our own need. but in order
to do it we must pay a higher rate Of
wages to employees than is paid abroad.
This the protective duty enables manu-
facturers to do. At the same time inven-
tive genius and keen home competition
in sales keeps down prices ,and.g for
grade they can be bought as cheaply here
as abroad. They are articles on which
foreign competition would ruin our man.

PARTISAN LlrERArunx

One of the greatest objections to the
Farmers Alliance az a political force lies
in the fact that it is close and secret Of
ganization, with arbitrary rules including
one to the effect that '.the members of
the new party shall read only its own
papers, and penalties are imposed for
patronizing those which are either re-
publican or democratic. This is certainly
a very Objectionable proceeding in a free
country, particularly by party that
processes to be devoted to the work of re-
form. To deny men the privilege of
reading any paper that antagonizes GER
tain views is practically to acknowledge
that said views will not bear close and
rational criticism. The party that places
itself in an attitude of that sort can not
expect to prosper. 1t puts the soundness
of its motives in question and casts re-
prOach upon its own integrity of belief
and purpose. A fear of open and full in.
vestigatiOn is confession of weakness
and sign that there is something radi-
cally wrong with doctrines which must
thus be carefully guarded against outside
argument. That is not the policy of a
party conscious of the rectitude of its in
ten:iOns and having faith in the virtue of
its cause. If converts can be held only
by keeping them ignorant, it is not likely
that they will long remain in the fold, or
that their influence will tend to promote
the interest of truth and justice.
This is not an age in which plan of
that kind can succeed. We have outlived
the old theory that only, one side must be
considered in politics. There was time
when the newspapers of party reso-
lutely refrained from printing any of the
things said in opposition to it, but that
time has gone by, so far as all first-class
journals are concerned. There are still
papers in the country that follow the old
and rigid partisan theory. and are no.
thing If not organs of the hide bound
sort; but the most popular and success
full ones are those which present all the
facts and trust the intelligence of their
readers to see that the principles which
they advocate are correct and are not to
be harmed by thorough discussion. The
Globe Democrat, for instance-and we cite
1t because we know most about it, and
because it is recognized rs an example
in this respect-dOes not exclude inter-
esting matter on grounds partisan preju-
dice or strategy. 1t publishes the speeches
OF leading men of all parties, giving the
people chance to read the best that is
said for and against different measures,
and believing that the republican creed
is strengthened rather than weakened in
that way. because said creed represents
principles and tendencies that are irwin
chile under any circumstances. This i'm
plies the idea that the people want to
know what is going on in politics as in
else. and that they are capa-
BILE of forming sensible and patriotic |
opinions. No party has anything to |
gain by refusing to let the light shine
upon its faith. and certainly no newspa-
per can afford to pursue course which
prevents its readers from getting dis
finct and complete understanding of all
issues.-Gl Democrat.
