The Farmer Vote Able to Carry the

Without the vote of man not en-
gagged in farming or the owner of
farm. the agriculturists would carry
81 States with 226 out Of 420 cleo
toral votes. With three per cent of
the other voters they would also cap
ture the electoral votes of Illinois,
Ohio and Maine, that is 81 more.
It ,has been said that the rural
population is decreasing and the
urban increasing. This is true only
in the States where the farmers were
in minority. There is no decrease
in the farm vote, and under the new
appointment which gives the cleo
toral college 444 members, the farm.
ers can elect 23S out of 444.
The "a States which the farmers
control and in which they can elect
238 electoral votes of the next col
lege, they can also elect IT'S members
of the next house OF representatives
In Illinois and Ohio they can elect
% more. making 200 out of total of
356. In four years, that is by 1895.
they can have control of the Senate
and, with their President in the
White House, have six of the nine
judges of the Supreme Cont, who
believe as they do in regard to tho
powers of the nation being used for
the benefit of the people instead Of
the benefit of the SPECTATORS, bank
ers and Wall street gamblers.
National Vaeao.
IF farmers are active in organic
ing the farmer vote can nearly all
be got into the Alliance by 1892,
and the labor vote generally will
vote on the side of the farmers.

Among the treasures of the two liter

valuable and interesting letters. Rum

at the Phi Cappa hall were found many
letters from men who have immortal

letters of acceptance of honorary mem

beautiful of all-and in fact it might
be pronounced one of the most lovely

Refuses to Sell Gold Bars.

Mr.. Foster, Secretary of the Treas
ury refuses to sell gold bars for ex.
port. In speaking to q reporter Of
the matter he said:
aAs to the coinage of the bars, l
have always thought, and thiuk
now, and / have always held in my
public speeches, that the coinage of
gold and silver is a relic of bar
barism The people don't want coin.
they vastly prefer the convenient
paper equivalent. Very few men
want coin when they can get paper.
Why then should we go to the ex
pense of changing bullion into coins,
simply to have the cuins piled up
into our vaults"
The question very naturally arises,
why pile up gold bars in the treasury?
If the people don't want gold for
money what is the treasury keeping
it for any how2 1t is the greatest
fiction of the age that paper money
is based on coin. There can be no
greater amount s.based on CON- than
the coin will redeem. The balance
in circulation is based on the pro-
ducts of the soil, mine and factory.
that which 1T is always being ex.
changed for. The farmers arc right
when they demand that the govern
ment shall Issue money, based on
tie products of their labor which
every body wants and must have, and
are always willing to exchange
money for. None but gamblers in
money want gold, and the time is
almost arrived when the demands of
honest industry on government will
be yielded to instead of those OF the
money spectators.

Mrs. Millions Ride.

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels forth
in state,
Her horses. full Of are and pride. go prancing
from the gate;
But all the beauties of the day she views with
languid eye.
Her flesh in weakness wastes away. her voice is
but sigh.
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced Stage
of catarrh, and all The luxuries that wealth
can buy fail 10 give her comfort. She
envies her rosy waiting maid, and would
give all her riches for that young won.an's
pure breath and blooming health. Now, If
some true and disin crested friend would
advise Mrs. Million ofthe wonderful merits
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. she would
learn that her case is not past help. $500
reward is offered by the manufacturers for a
case of catarrh in the head which they
cannot cure.

A Cannon Exnloded al His nInnth

1t is on record that German called
Bucholz lifted with his teeth cannon
weighing about two hundred pounds
and fred it off in that position. While
performing at Epernay, in France, the
same feat the barrel of the gun burst.
Miraeulously he was not killed, although
several OF the fragments were thrown
over fifty yards. at Berlin two strong
men appeared, one of whom performed
the same trick as Samson, and his rival,
Sandow, of bursting iron chains by con-
tracing, and so enlarging. the biceps of
his arm.-Chambers' Journal.

Some Old Aeorns.

C. r. Robertson once found cavity in
large burr oak tree in which about a
pint of pin oak acorns had been stored.
The excavation in which the acorns were
found had been made by woodpeckers,
and was in the most solid part of the
tree. Mr.. Robertson says that, accord
ing to Chambers, there was 398 years
growth of wood over the end of the cav
ity, yet all the acorns were as fresh as
if only put away by tho birds or squir-
rels the fall before.-St. Louis Republic.

TO TEST TIE TUELTE-LRCH GUN
SPECIAL POWDER PREPARED FOR IT TO BE


SPECIAL POWDER PREPARED FOR IT TO BE
USED.
The twelve-inch gun which has been at tho proving
grounds at Sunday Hook for some time will not be
fired until time this week. The kintal or cast
iron block which holds the carriage in position IS out
Of order, and that is the only thing which inter
feres with the proposed tests. The tests made some
time ago not satisfactory on account OF the high
pressure Of the powder used. Since that time new
explosive has been made by Dupont d. Co. II was
shipped 10 the proving grounds Sandy Hook about
week ago, and soon the repairs made TO this
gun carriage the tests viii be continued.
The powder recently used ignited rapidly that
the strain upon the gun caused By the explosion was
confined to the brccch. The strain estimated 10
be 10000 pounds to the square inch, with
charge Of only 12j pounds Of powder
The gun, however easily stand charge Of 900
pounds Of powder, If the explosive Is of tho right
consistency, that is II it does not burn too quickly or
TOO slowly When it burns too quickly the strain
all f place, ana when IL burns too slowly the pro
eclc leaves the mouth Of the gun before the power
Of tie explosive Is exhausted.
The ordnance officers at sandy Hook hope that the
pow der, which they will probably test this week,
will possess the quality much desired Powder
used IN gun with success does not however. give
satisfaction when used IN larger or smaller gun. A
threench gun was fired Yesterday al sandy Hook, but
