THE ALLIANCE PROGRAMME

1t is a jaunty programme that the lead
ers of the Farmers Alliance have laid
out for themselves in the next Congress,
and only the born General could con-
template the outlook for its success with
the assurance that they apparently do.
They announce that they have already
completed three measures, which they
shall introduce and push at once to a
vote in both branches of Congress.
First among these is the so-called Sub
Treasury scheme, plan, in reality, to
require the United States Government to
supply Treasury notes to men who wish
to speculate in cotton, corn, wheat and
other agricultural products. The sec
ond is brand new Land Mortgage bill.
The purpose of this measure is that the
Government shall hand over to any citi-
zen who owns and resides on tract of
land comprising not less than ten, and
not more than $40 acres, at least one
half of which is under cultivation, and
who may apply for the same, its Treas
ury notes equal in amount to one-half of
the assessed valuation of the land and
the improvements upon it. The recip-
lent of this favor is to pay interest at
the rate of p per cent. a year on this
loan" and the principal itself in not
less than five, nor more than ten years.
These Treasury notes are to be legal
tender for all debts. The third meas
ure is a demand for free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
The leaders further announce that
'just as soon as they have pushed these
through" they will then demand fur
Their legislation, such as Governmental
control of the railroads and telegraph
and the abolition of the National bank
ing system. Undoubtedly they will,
provided, mind you, that they succeed
in the premises.

VIM. Timmons, Postmaster at Idaville,
Ind, writes: Electric Bitters has done
more for me than all other medicines
combined, for the bad feeling arising
from Kidney and Liver trouble" John
Leslie, farmer and stockman of same
place, says: Find Electric Bitters to be
the best Kidney and Liver medicine,
made me feel like a new man." J. w.
Gardner, hardware merchant, same
town, says: "Electric Bitters is just the
thing for man who is all run down and
don't care whether he lives or dies; he

THE BOARDING-HOUsE TABLE.

The table of boarding house should
be made a special object of study. If
that is a success one-half of the battle is
won, writes Edward w. Box in the Oc-
tober Ladies' Home journal. What APP
pears there, and how it appears, either
makes or retards the success of house.
There is nothing more uninyting to a
boarder than to come to the table with
the same things on it day in and day out.
To know this morning just what will be
the breakfast three weeks hence; to
come to the table in the morning-when
everything should be fresh and sweet
to find last nights crumbs on the table
cloth; to be compelled to open the same
napkin used throughout the previous
day; to have charred and blackened
chops served to tempt morning appe-
tite which it is difficult enough to coax
with the most deliciously-b Drowned chop
laid in bed of green parsley; to come
to a cold and cheerless breakfast-rOom in
winter, or stuffy, unaired room in
spring or summer; to know that at
lunch you will have served up in cold
the meats of the previous evenings sup
per; to see vision of the same old din
ner at night, repeated over and over
again; to be asked to drink your coffee
from cup so thick as to make it an
even thing between the vessel and the
connection in it-these are the things
which make up the experience of ma
jority living to-day in boarding-houses.
And they are all the very things easiest
to avoid by just little common sense
and tIife expenditure Of trouble.

THE HoPKINs-sEARLEs' MILLIONS

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mILLAONs.
The sensation of last week at Salem,
was the famous Hopllins-Searles will con-
test. The hearings have been held in
the Probate Court before Judge Har-
NOR. The old-fashioned courtroom
was far inadequate to hold the crowds
that sought admittance. All were anx-
ious to learn the disposition Mrs. Ed
ward F. Sealles had made of her mil
lions.
Mrs. Searles was the widow of Mark
Hopkins, a former partner of Coils p.
Huntington, the railroad magnate. Mr..
Hopkins went California in the days of
the forty-niners. He did not 60 to the
mines, but went into partnership with
Mr.. Huntington, They made money
rapidly and soon amassed great fortunes.
They were aggressive and the success of
their schemes brought wealth to both of
them.
Hopkins died, leaving an immense
fortune and his widow became the rich
est woman in America. The couple had
no issue. But they adopted son, Tim

The Water Company Question
Romans the Prevailing Local
Topic for Discussion-The
Mass Meeting Tonight.

Appearances indicate that the call for a
mass meeting of citizens of town will be
responded to by the attendance of large
number in Robbins opera house tonight,
Whi o there seems 10 be strong senti-
ment in favor of the formation of new
water works, many of those in favor of it
will sanction the movement upon one con-
dition only, and that is that the new works
shall be a public undertaking; that the
borough shall take hold of the scheme and
issue bonds to deiray the expense.
This view is held by many who say that
to make the proposed new works private
undertaking would be farce. A pubic
water works alone can be expected to ac-
complish the object for which the mass
meeting for tonight has been called. II
new works are established and left under
the control of a private corporation what
ever relief may be afforded the people will
only be temporary, for the history OF
private local corporations is that they can
not withstandEthe temptation to pool their
issues. AS an instance, the consolidation
of the gas and electric light companies may
be cited.
1t is understood by most of the people
that the meeting tonight is called for the
purpose lof having public expressions of
sentiments on a proposition to organize
public water works to be owned and con-
trolled by the borough and there are many
warm supporters of the proposition; but
should the meeting develop an undertake
ing to organize another private company it
will be found that few people will be ready
to encourage it,
If water reform is wanted the people
must control the new plant.

An English syndicate recently sent an
expert mining engineer TO look up the
old gold mines in Portugal. lie struck
one Of the old Roman mines worked in
the days of Cesar Augustus. In those
days they cut down to the vein, and this
vein was five hundred feet deep before
pay rock was reached. The mine was
open for an area of ten acres or more
up to the surface, every foot of ground
having been taken off. The debris
around these old mines could be worked
over at profit were they in America,
but in Portugal it would cost too much
for the transportation of machinery.

DIR. TALMAGE evidently believes in
good cheer. At least here is one of
the recent sparks from his anvil
in the New York Observer; 'If you
would have more good cheer, instead
of talking over SO often your trials,
your prosecutions, your losses, your ex-
asperations, revive the pleasantries. l
warrant that in your life there have
been comedies as well as tragedies.
You could tell me if l were seated
in your homes of scenes in your life
enough relaxing to evoke guffaw that
would make the chandeliers rattle. On
proper occasions bring out these old
time scenes for the regalement of your
self and friends. Do not get dried up
before your time. Do not shrivel. L
do not care how long a man has lived,
he has no right ever to b more than
eighteen"
