THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT
No Need For Worry, as all South
ern Alliance Men Are
Democrats.

WAsHINaToN, March 29.-"The
Farmers Alliance in the South,
and particularly in Alabama" said
Representative Clark of Alabama
to The Republic correspondent. lis
composed ofDemocrats. The farm
ers of the country have been
badly treated, and Trey have SO
long borne the burdens imposed
on them by Republican congresses
that they have at last been forced
to combine for their mutual pro-
lection. The farmers are uncom-
planning people, and they bave
been imposed on more than any
other class. 1 cannot speak for
the Alliance in the West, but in
Alabama every Alliance man is a
Democrat, although every Democrat
is not an Alliance man.
"No, l have not heard much
talk about the third party move
ment in the South. If the Far
mers' Alliance should place a tick
ct in the field / doubt if it would
hurt us in the South, for the reas-
ons l have named, that nearly
every Alliance man is a Democrat
in alabama as we'll as in the other
Southern States"
sis Mr.. Cleveland as popular as
ever in the South ?"
"There is a certain sentiment in
the South about Mr.. Cleveland
that I presume will always cling te
him. During his administration
there was a tranquility OF feeling
among the people never exper'
fenced in any other period since
the war, and during his admins
tration the South prospered and
crops were also good. Naturally
enough MIR. Cleveland receives the
benefit. He, certainly gave thu
country a clean administration
But I cannot say who will be nomi
mated in 1892. Our object is t.
name the right man. l regard sll
yer. as one of the leading issues
and on the silver question thu
South and West, in my opinion
will get together. The outlook l
most favorable and our prospect
of winning in 1892 r most ex
cellent.
"Who will be Speaker? Well
l wish I could answer that ques
ton. There are a number of we'll
equipped gentlemen in the field
any one of whom I suppose woul
fill the position with credit. !
will be an interesting contest, an
I hope the best man will win"

From the Pittsburg, Pa, Dispatch.
The City Engineer of Chicago
has completed a report of interest
to Pittsburgers. 1t deals with
tests of a smoke consumer, and
shows conclusively that the smoke
nuisance can be reduced to such al
extent that there will remain Ne
serious cause for complaint. Each
test was twelve hours long, ano
the results we're:
Coal used without smoke con.
sumner, 1900 pounds; with con.
sumner, 16,400 pounds; actual evap.
grafton per pound of coal without
consumer. 6,8S7; with consumer:
1851; saving of fuel by use of con.
sumner, Z IL per cent.
A solft black coal was used, ano
observations having been taken tc
determine the volumes of smoke
emitted it was found that the con
sumner reduced it to the minimum
This test only adds another to the al.
ready long list of proofs put forward
by the Dispatch that, even 1t nat.
ural gas should fail, there is nc
necessity for Pittsburg to again be
come the "Smoky City" We dc
not advocate any particular appa'
ratus for controlling the evil. bu'
wish to show that there is no res.
son why the pail once Lifted should
ever again be allowed to settle

and further review of either is no
now needed. Smoke consumers are
beneficial and economical, ano
there is not much excuse for the

Arrangements Making for the
Care of Disabled Veterans.

H1eGINsvILLE, Mo-, March 30
The x-Confederate Association
has paid SIS, 500 for the home farm
at this place, less S., 500 given by
citizens of Higginsville and Lafay-
cite county, leaving the net cost to
the association $4,000. How
could that amount of money be put
to better use than to furnish a home
for those poor crippled veterans
that so nobly wore the gray
those boys that lost their all?
The association has now only 60
acres of ground and one 10-room
house, the remainder of the farm
being leased until March /, 1892.
The officers are building cottages
On these SO acres as fast as possible
to do so, but need more money for
the purpose.
The most helpless Will be taken
care of first of all, and 1t will be
useless for the old soldiers to come
here until the officers have some
place to put them, which will not
be until the cottages are finished,
and then only a few of the many
can be taken care of this year.
The superintendent and house
keeper are now at the farm prepar-
ing to receive a few that require
constant attendance.
All old soldiers must remember
that they must comply with para
graphs s. 6 and 7 of the IRE
quisites for Admission" as fol-
lows:
8. A ''full muster and descrip-
tive list" certified to under oath

dorsed by two citizens, No per-
son of unsound mind shall be

6. Certificate of a judge or clerk
of county court, that he believes
applicant to be worthy of admis-
sion and that, If admitted, the
county court will furnish transpor-
tation to the home.
7. Approval by the vice presi-
dent of congressional district in
which applicant resides, and an
order for admission signed by the
president and secretary of this as
ISOLATION.
The following are the other rules
of admission
/. Residence in the State of
Missouri for one year prior to
December 20, 1890.

army, navy or civil service of the
confederate states, or in the Mis-

3. Physical inability to sup
port self or family.
4. Wife, widow, or children un-

Some Causes of Suicide.
William Matthews, in North American Revi
for A prii

William Matthews, in North American Review
forAprii.
Besides imitation there are other
social influences which lead to
suicide /; but the most powerful is
that which we denote by the gener-
al term civilization. Seif-killing is
emphatically the crime of intellect
ual peoples. Almost unknown to
savages, rare among Mohamme-
dams, it RACES among the nations
most advanced in culture and re-
fnement with a fercensss exactly
proportional to their mental de-
velopment. 1t is said that Rome
knew nothing of curse till after the
establishment of the empire. 1t
was when the Rome legions had
carried their eagles triumphantly
through the world, and brought
back the means of luxury in the
spoiIs of Europe, Asia and Africa,
that life in the Eternal City began
to be "wrary, stale, fiat and un-
profitable" To-day the Germans.
who are profoundest thinkers and
the most cultivated people, are
the most suicidal race in Europe,
France comes next, England third,
Italy and Hungary fourth while
on the other hand Spain, the
most backward of European nations
in culture, Ireland, Portugal,
Corsica, and Dalmatia rank the
lowest in the suicidal scale. OF
the different regions of the same
country, the north and northeast
of France outrank in suicide the
centre and the southwest the
north and centre of Italy outrank
the south and the islands and
Saxony, which.in its schools and
general culture surpasses the rest
Of Germany, surpasses it also in
the number of its suicides. In
short, so universally does the rule
hold that the strength Of the ten

regarded % an index 70 . peoples

prominent measures that were
passed were: The endowment OF
the State University, which the
immediate friends of that institu-
ton have been labor1ng for years to
accomplish. The Worlds Fair

pectasion of the public, consider.
ing the complexion of the Legisla-
ture, but they took q correct and
business view of the subject, and ]
Inn confident they will not be dis
appointed in Missouri receiving
more than q fair return for the
money thus invested. They also
perfected the antitrust bill, which
had hithertofore been defective,

ton for the State militia, which
was well merited, but has failed in
