THE Northern Farmers Alliance, In national
convention at Omaha, is determined upon a
national third party. The Southern Alllance Is
as strongly opposed TO IT, This means dis.
rupted north and a solid south, and rough sail
Ing for the Republican ship
Don't be too sure, friend Eskridge,
upon this subject. The Southern AZ
lance Is not strongly opposed TO a
third party and will unite with the
Northern Alliance at the proper time,
making a solid west and south against
the corporations and monopolies Of
the east. The Alliance third party
movements will also settle the race
question of the south, and black and
white will vote together for the COM
mon interest of all. The declaration
Of the OCala convention upon this
subject is worth more than force bills,
and will be far more efectual. BE
patient and await developments. The
world moves rapidly in these latter

THE CHANGE OF slX YEARS.

TINE ChANuh VI blA AhAMs
In the joint convention Of 1886,
which for the third time returned
John j. Ingalls, to the United States
Senate, there we're but eight votes cast
against him, and they came frOm six
counties. Cherokee and Leaven-
worth each furnished two votes, while
Ford, Marshall, Neosho and Sumner
each provided one.
Now, in 1891, Senator ingalls, con-
trolled entirely only the twelve coun-
ties Of Allen, Doniphan, Douglas,
Ellis, Finney, Hamilton, Harvey,
Hodgeman, Meade, Rswlins, Russell
and Trego, which gave fifteen votesj
Ellis two and Douglas three votes.
These counties have a population OF
1O296l, which is z per cent. Of the
population Of the state.
But il is said "three runs and an
out" And an "out," is it not7 Who
ever saw such a one in American poll
ticsl Did not Ingalls, and his close
henchmen utterly forget the quaint
old adsge, "Brag is a good dog, but
Holdfast is betterp Did not wisdom
cry out against the schemes and
works of the Ingalls, fxers, but did
not they make the response, "Hold
and see us debauCh the Peoples Rep
resentstivesp
Now may they not in confusion in
quire with degree OF solemnity:
Where, o where shall rest be found?
Rest from our many weary plans2
Where can we nnd the solemn ground
That holds the cOrpses OF our clans?
Life hath its profit and los loss;
The peoples prophet now Is PETER,
For Kansas rid OF pef and dross,
Is breathing now peaceful zephyr.

anxious for an investigation OF the

patbize with Bion IN this case and
most heartily second his demand.
We have good reasons 10 believe also
that his desires in relation TO this
matter will be gratiRed. We hope
so, at least. Republican journalists
who published the great vidette oT-
pose the morning after the explosion,
manifest great ignorance on this sub

HOW WILL SENATOR PETER vOTE3

HOW WILL SENATOR PETER V0TER
Our Republican friends are sOrely
troubled since Senator PETERS cleo
tion respecting his prospective affilia-
tion in the United States Senate,
Will he vote with the Republicans or
with the Democrats, or will he hold a
little caucus Of his own and vote all
alone by himself9 These seem to be
the questions that now agitate the
minds Of Republican statesmen. II
he represents the wishes OF his con-
stituents, which we presume he will
have Che good sense TO do, he will
vote for or against all measures with
respect solely to their merits, and
without any regard to the party with
which they originate. A little less
partisanship and a little more good,
common sense and honest regard for
the interests Of the industrial masses
will revolutiOnize and vastly improve
the character of our national leglsla-
tiOn; and unless we greatly mistake
the character OF the man, Senator
PETER will have these thoughts in
view during the period of his SentOrial
term.

have been influenced by a species Of
idolatry which is purely characteristic
Of Kansas Republicanism. AS we
have frequently stated heretofore, no
honest man can faithfully examine
Mr.. Ingalls, public record and find
anything in it 10 recommend him to
the sufrages Of the common people.
The Capital and other journals that
have given him such ardent support
are fully aware Of this, for in former
years they have presented the facts
10 their readers in a very forcible
manner IL is partisan idolatry that
has commanded their support in this
campaign, and il is ignorance and
idolatry combined that has led 30
many people to follow where they
have led.
Notwithstanding the House was
flooded with petitions Of the Charac-
tor referred to, and Notwithstanding
hundreds Of old soldiers were given
free transportation to Topeka and all
tkeir expenses provided for in order
that they might be present Tor the
purpose Of influencing the represen-
tatives of the people, Notwithstanding
circulars were sent to the ministry OF
the state, offering them the same
courtesies Of free transportation and
all expenses that they might bring
the influence Of the church to bear
upon the election, our Representa-
tives bravely and truly remained
faithful TO the wishes OF their consti-
tuents, and faithfully executed the
duty they were sent here to perform.
They were as firm and immovable as
the everlasting hills. All honor to
the Peoples representatives ! They
have proven that the decalogue and
the golden rule have a place in poll
tics, and that there are men who are
incorruptible. AS result Of their
fidelity, a man of the people will rep
resent the interests Of the people in
the United States Senate during the
next six years,

THE NlUAhAdUA OANAh bUNUn'
Old John Sherman's project TO
guarantee principal and interest Of
bonds to the amount of SlOOOO0OOO
in aid Of the Nicaragua canal, is in
perfect harmony with every public
act Of his life during the past thirty
years. II is another scheme TO play
into the hands Of a greedy corpora
ton at the expense of the people.
This man is the father Of more per-
niCious legislation than any other
character known to American history
and the day that shall witness his rO-
tirement from public life will be
happy day for the American people.

THE sENATORIAL ELECTEON.

the Legislative proceedings concern
ing the Senatorial election that we
shall have very little TO say upon that
subject editOrially. There are a few
thoughts however, 10 which we would
call attention. IL was apparent TO
every honest, thoughtful observer OF
current events, that Senator Ingalls,
was overwhelmingly defeated at the
ballot box on the fourth day Of last
November, and the most moderate
regard for common deCency would
have prompted any honest man to
have accepted Che verdict OF the peo-
pie and retired from the contest.
With Senator Ingalls,, however, this
was not 10 be thought OF. He has
not been accustomed 10 election by
the voice Of the people. With him
other methods have been more ei'eC-
tual and believing that he had the
same kind Of men TO deal with now ss
on former occasions, he relied upon
the same unSOrupulOus and corrupt
methods as in former years TO defeat
the plainly expressed will Of the peO-
pie. He expected TO purchase with
money and influence by other bull
doing methods q sufficient number
Of votes that were opposed to him, TO
secure his return TO the United States
Senate. The House Of Representa-
tives was flooded with petitions from
old soldiers and others praying for
his reelection. To show the absolute
absurditV OF this proceeding let us
suppose that the election had resulted
Ravorably TO him instead Of against
him. Would a legislature elected
upon Che one issue that il should vote
for his return have listened to petit
tions for his defeati Further, would
the state Senate as al present consti-
tuted, have listened to petitions to
vote for Judge PETER instead Of Mr..
IngallsH The idea is simply absurd,
and yet the members Of the House
are severely criticized because they
were determined to be governed by
the demands Of their constituents as
expressed at the ballot box rather
than vote in accordance with the Pc
titions Of a few old soldiers. The
critics overlook another important
fact in this case. Nearly, il not quite
one half Of the members OF the House
are themselves old soldiers, who de-
serve to be credited with as good
judgment as their comrades who are
not members AS q, matter Of fact
they are Gar better qualified TO judge
respecting their own interests as we'll
as the interest OF their comrades in
this respect than are their petitioners
and for this reason: They base their
judgment upon a faithful study Of
Mr., Ingalls, public record upon the
question Of pension Legislation as we'll
as upon those financial questions
which 90 intimately concern the me-
terial interests Of the people of the

with the foils at Long Branch and
Saratoga. When Miss Babetts became
skilled in tho use of the rapier she turned
her thoughts to equestrianism. The count
was also her teacher in that accomplish
mant. She grew to love him deeply, for he
was Young, handsome and chivalrous. The
pair determined to we'd. That raised q
hubbub in the Feischmann family. The
father could not believe that Louis was a
genuine count. He inquired diligently OF
Logotelly's references in Cincinnati, and
to-day at Baker Fleisohmann's place on
Broadway an official OF Importance said it
was decided that Logotelly was really . no
bleman, and that Babette and he were en-
gagged, but not married. "They will be
welded as soon as Mr.. Fleischmann can
make some further inquiry into the counts

congressman largely surpass those of
the western states" The G.. d. is out

IN the next house Of representatives, 1l9
are from districts north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Add to these the alliance
mon, who will vote with them, and we
have a clear majority of northern dem
ocrats. And in point of ability such
men as Cultivate, Bynum, Holman,
Springer, Lockwood, Andrew, Chapman
and a half dozen others rank with the
best men from the south. Some of the
southern gentlemen, who have been
named in connection with the speaker
ship, are statesmen of high rank, we'll
worthy of any honor the party could
confer upon them, but the reasons for
selecting a northern man, especially if
he be from the west, are many and valid.
Democracy is now having it's greatest
growth in tho west and wise politicians
Will do what they can to foster it.

Diego, is in the city. He gives the first
authentic account of the capture of the
s%ealer, j. Hamilton Lewis, by the Russians

sea. The City of San Diego, the Geneva,
and the j. Hamilton Lewis were sealing to-
gether near Copper island when they saw

took flight. The Aleut opened fire but did
no damage and it seemed that all three yes

two hours. When again in sunlight the
Aleut had captured the Lewis. The latter
had over two hundred skins on board at the
time. The Geneva and the City of San
Diego made good their escape.

THE California press very generally
oppose the resolution adopted by the
irrigation congress recommending the
transfer of the desert lands from the
control of tho general government to the
states. The San Francisco Call says
congress SHOULD not turn these lands
over to politicians to be manipulated for
their especial benefit" The Call is
right and tho irrigation congress held
exactly the same opinion. Nobody sup
poses congress will pass the arid lands
over to the control of the states except
under very carefully framed restrictions,
which will prevent jobbers and specula-
tors from getting hold OF them.

YOUNG gentlemen who go a counting

a handsome young fellow of 23 who
wears English clothes, plays the piano
and rides a wheel, has recently been de-
tected in a clandestine love affair by
spies, who follow the trail of his bicycle

is that the young mogul has been de-
prived of his wheel and his liberty at
the same time and is now a close prisoner

Your favor received. I cannot take part
in the Ohio campaign this year for
many reasons, which / need not give, but I
hope no effort will be spared to elect Nc
Kinley. His victory at this time is very
important to the country and party. He
and MIR. Campbell represent the honest diff
ferences between the two parties at this
time. There is no lodging and no evasion
and no voter need be deceived. The cleo
tion of Mckinley means the policy of pro-
lection and honest money. The election of
Campbell means free trade and corruption
of money. T believe Ohio will stand by
Mckinley. Sincerely yours,
