Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-05-12

KANSAS CITY May "A special
from Leavenworth, KS, says:
Chancellor Snow of the state univer-
sity, who last year discovered a disease
fatal to chinch bugs, has received ap-
plications from farmers in fifty differ
emit counties in Kansas for disease in
fected bugs. These bugs are inflated
with what Mr.. Snow calls chinch bug
cholera. A few OF the insects are
placed in field of wheat and soon all
the bug sicken and die, effectually rid
ding the field of the pest. 1t is not be-
lieved that chinch bugs have yet made
their appearance in Kansas wheat, but
that the farmers are making ready for
him.

the two Old parties. The people have
been blinded so long to the evils of our
financial system that they have arrayed
themselves in opposing parties without
reference to this subject. Many who
have called themselves democrats will
find that their ideas of finance do not
run in democratic channels, and vice
versa There will be no lodging OF the
issue. The people are determined that
it shall not be ignored. The two
parties must make plain their positions.
If neither party makes positive and
finance will be third
party.-Liberal- Enterprise, (Cuthbert,
Ga.
Unity of action among the working
men is the only means for improving
their condition, and to secure this,
there must be unity of sentiment. No
unity of sentiment can exist unless
there is education in that direction.
This to be accomplished must come
from one source. The source of educa-
ton for the Alliance is its Supreme
Council meetings. Here the delegates
come from the people expressing their
needs. and in council devise means for
their relief. From the principles and
plans enumerated at these councils the
teachers-both lecture and journals, get
their texts and should teach the people
on one uniform system. Any diver
gence from this is sedition and should
be dealt with as such. There must be
a unity or there will be a failure and
DISRUPTION. Vidette, Alexan-
dria, La.
One does not have to 60 out among
the members of the citizens and far
mers alliance to ascertain whether their
ideas and organizations are growing.
There are indications from other
sources that are far better indications
of their growth. These indications
can be seen daily in the columns of the
heretofore silent capitalistic press of
the money centres of the large eastern
cities. They are commencing to abuse,
ridicule, and discredit the movement
and it is really wonderful how easy it Is
for the average editor of the mOnopo-
listic press to think that all, that is nee
essary to do to crushthis movement is to
ridicule it. Perhaps they are laboring
under the impression that ridicule is
argument, and that the average work.
man and farmer is unable to detect the
difference between the two. Then
again, these same editors are in the
habit of lying. This may to some seem
to be strange statement; but neverthe-
less it is true. And we hate to make it,
but we are of the class that believe
truth should at all times be spoken,
more especially in cases of this kind.

abuse and ridicule, then he is being ir-
ritated. National Citizens Alliance.

Kansas Delegates to Depart May 18th

Kansas Delegates to Depart May nth
Topeka, May 5.-The official route
from Kansas City to Cincinnati for the
peoples party delegates has been de-
cided upon, and the statesmen are pre-
pared to pay full rates over the Chicago
& Alton toSt. Louis. w. F. Right
mire, secretary of the National Citizens
Industrial Alliance, will send circulars
tomorrow to the delegates elected in
the state, giving them instruction and
advice. The Kansas delegation leaves
Kansas City at s o'clock Sunday morn
ing. May 18th, and meets the Iowa and
Nebraska delegations at st. Louis. Sec
rotary Rightmire announces that there
will be reunion of all industrial Or
CARNATIONS in Cincinnati on the even
ing of May 18th, with general assem-
bly, of emergency of the National
Citizens Industrial union at Dexter
hall at 10 a. m. for the admission ofmem-
bers conferrlng of secret work and
transacting other business" He urges
upon the delegates that they do not go
to Cincinnati with determination
that any particular course must be
TAKEN" but to inject in accordance with
the call for conference that we may
unite all our Industrial organizations in
one harmonious body upon common
platform, decorating upon the great is
sues of transportation, land and cur
rency and leave it to the combined wis
dom of our conference to take such
steps for the campaign of 1892 as the
conference may deem fitting"
Continuing his letter, Mr.. Rightmire
says:
In regard to the fears of many of our
northern friends that the south will be
unrepresented at our conference. permit
me to say that, from the different pri
vate advices | have received from the
southern states, | can assure all that the
delegations from their alliances, white
and colOred, from nearly all those states,
will be there in full force and sympathy
with us, for the purpose of effecting
harmonious union of all of our industrial
organizations, that, united, we may
continue the grand work of the educa-
ton of our people into true political
economy of our reform movement Let
us make haste slowly and, as one of the
notices of the National citizens indus
trial alliance is, 'Let us stand
up and be counted, that our
numbers may appal our OPP
pressOrs," let us work for that homo
geneous union of the industrial forces
of our entire nation, that the interests
of all may be'protected in,on grand or
ization that shall bury beyond all hope
of resurrection the old sectional ami
mosities by means of which our enc
mics have divided us in the past that
they might keep their labor PROSTATE
at the feet of capital through our divis-
ions and exalt the tyranny and wealth
of plutOcracy by the oppression of our
industrial masses.
1t is generally believed among ALI
ance leaders here that the southerners
who oppose a third party organization
will not attend the conference.
