is the custom of some women, she

not know, but it might appropriately
enough be called the cometary style.
The ''horriG hair" of a comet is always
drawn back at right angle from its
facial line by reason of the speed at
which it travels; but why any female
star of fashion should emulate that
erratic specimen of fast life in the upper
circles, in this particular, is beyond our
ken. The on wonder is that the hair.

HERE Is ANOTHER.

Out in California they have new
version of the rebel brigadier story.
The Times has it in this way:
One Of the veterans at the soldiers home says
that Col. L. L. Polk, president of the Farmers
Alliance, was during the war one of the guards
at tAndersOnvllle. "D-n him." says the old
vet, "he stood over me with musket and tried
to starve me to death. don't want him to
come and preach fraternity, the love Of God and
politics to me now"
Last year in Kansas it was at
Gettysburg that President Folks
cruelties were prscticed. This year
the Kansas old soldier racket has
been centered on Salisbury; but the
old California veteran, not having
read the Kansas Republican papers
very attentively, has Col. Polk doing
guard duty with a musket at Ander-
sonville Verify President Polk must
have run the confederacy, and been
everywhere present during the late
"unpleasantness." Confederate mill
tary tactics must also have differed
somewhat from the tactics of the bal
ance of the civilized world, as this is
the only instance on record of a
''brigadier general performing guard
duty with q musket.

that purpose is one that must not be

Men are being tried and their loyalty

circulation Of lies to give their state

however, for them to acknowledge

ducting $500 Democratic votes" from
his whole vote, he then has about Al
per cent. Of the vote as against a
Peoples 38 per cent. of the vote of
1890.
This is not figured ont as an ALI
ance victory" but as a Peoples party
gain and an evident loss for the Re-
publican party.
Would Mr.. Butterfeld give as a
reason why the Republicans Of the
Twenty-ffth judicial district sup
ported a resubmission democrat for
the important Office of Judge of the
district court, a term of four years,
that the grand old Republican party,
like many an ancient error, totters
upon its base; and that the district
by no possibility could elect a Re-
publican to that distinguished Office?
Would he confess to a candid world
that out Of the 1904 votes cast for
that office in 1887 the Republican
candidate for Judge in the district had
but 1872 of them; Al per cent. Of the
whole vote cast at that election?
Would it please him to forget that
in the palmiest days Of Republican
supremacy in this district that Re-
publican plurality of 1856 was ex-
hibited in the official returns of cleo
tions?
AS secretary Of the Republican
state league Of Kansas, can it be that
a spotless example of political purity
has an incarnation in Mr.. Butterfeld,
when he deliberately prostitutes his
official position in the interest Of what
may have been designated as 'moss-
back, rum-ridden Democracy" and
hugging it to his warm embrace
tolerates dishonest money, free trade,
and sundry other political heresies.
Mr.. Butterfeld possibly merits sym
pathy for the fierce political neces-
sites that these latter days may have
laid upon him.

ADDRESS OF STATE LECTURER.


Brethren and sisters of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union of the
state of Kansas; Allow me to extend to
you my sincere thanks for the splendid
endorsement I have received at your
hands as assistant state lecturer for the
past year, in my unanimous election to
the responsible position of state lecturer.
In accepting this position fully realize
the great work to be done. Having the
assurance of your cooperation and
mutual support, I enter upon this,
another years work, with renewed vigor
and determination.
I shall be able to visit each county in
the state during the ensuing year. I
hope to be prepared to represent all our
industrial interests. hope to meet, not
only our brethren and sisters of the Alli-
ancs In each county, but every farmer
and laboreP who desires to become better
acquainted with the business interests
Of our organization, and especially the
economic principles as taught by the AL
lance.
One of the fundamental principles
taught by our order is to concede to all
men honesty of purpose. Ninety per
cent. of the people are honest in their
political views. They are sometimes led
by their trusted leaders into political
traps, only to find that they have been
betrayed. Let each consider we'll his
political actions In the past. Where we
have made mistakes let us amend. Let
US use our utmost endeavors to invite
those who cannot see as we do to attend
our open meetings. Exchange papers
with those we desire to reach, thus prov
ing that we believe in reciprocity of
thought as we'll as reciprocity between
nations.
From Communications received from
all parts of the state, believe we are in
better condition for future work than
ever before. There is a determination
expressed which can lever be satisfied
with anything less than our demands be-
Ing granted or something equivalent
thereto. Right will prevail; we ask for
only justice, and shall be satisfied with
nothing less. Let us educate and CO.
operate. Let charity be the watch word,
and prove to the world that labor In all
its forms can join hands across the chasm
of prejudice and superstition. We hope
to demonstrate to the world that our ef-
forts in behalf of labor shall not be con-
fined to the farmer alone, but to the ulti-
mate emancipation Of all labor in our
broad land. Soliciting your advice and
encouragement all along the line, l re-
main your humble servant for the sue
cess Of our cause,
STEPHEN M. SCoTT,
State Lecturer.

HAS THE ALLIANCE CONE TO sTAYY

From COlman's Rural World.
This question is being asked very fire.
quently nowadays, not in one state but
in many, and by those in the order and
those out of 1t. Men indeed may be
counted by the hundreds here, there and
everywhere, who are willing to proclaim
the downfall of the Alliance and almost
TO name the day of its obsequies. Then
again there may be found hundreds OF
thousands who refuse to believe anything
of the kind, who, on the contrary, have
an abiding faith in the ultimate success
of the order and are willing to pledge
their faith and their works to the up
building Of the Alliance and It's ultimate
success. Now it may be said Of this last
effort of the farmers of America, as was
said by one Of old, relative to another
matter, il the Alliance is founded on
truth and the members thereof are united
In good faith to remedy the evils that be-
set and encompass them, and they will
employ only the proper moral and legal
means to aid them In righting their
wrongs, it will stand not alone the test
of time, but as we'll outlive the jeers and
the sneers of its enemies. Indeed, thus
founded and fostered, the seed sOwn al
ready would be as bread cast upon the
waters, found after many days to sup
port new efforts, furnish fresh energies
and send new men to the front to dare
to do battle for the right and to put down
wrong.
Too many cycles of time have passed
that, have been periods of oppression
and of wrong because dominated by the
autocratic idea that money makes might,
and might Is right, to justify the masses
of producers Of to- day in cringing there
to as though he only was free who could
control money, and all else were slaves.
True, the cunning trickster, the schem-
ing politician and the shrewd and selfish
Of every persuasion have secured en-
trance to the door and been admitted to
the fold to boost their own ambitious
schemes, or otherwise crafty their selfish
aims and have been disappointed and in
a measure defeated. True, these have
gone out to defsme the good name and
to help spoil the good work attempted
by the hundreds of thousands of men In
more than thirty states of the union, but
1t does not necessarily follow that the
cause is fraud OF the order failure
Such one was found In twelve, 1,80C
years ago, and may be expected In every
enterprise, no matter how good, so long
as men are human.
The men who have the most interest In
the Alliance are those who make living
by the pillow, the men who work early
and late, from one end Of the year to the
other, In all weathers and at all seasons
the men who plOw and plant and work 1

have their produce made the kite to LII

Majority for Earle, 6SS.
"Here," said Mr.. Butterfeld, ''ls chance for
Hebbard, the Alliance mathematician, TO figure
out an Alliance victory"
"DOster's vote is just ffty-twO more than the
Alliance vote on state treasurer lastyear. DoSter
claims to have received 800 Democratic votes.
II this ls so the Alliance must have fallen on
44s votes In this district. If the Alliance voted
solid for Doster he received only hfty-two Demo-
cratic votes"

Hebbard will take?"-TOpekG CGpttGl.
There is no legal or moral necessity
for Mr.. Hebbard to take any "horn

lieve that while Mr.. Butterfeld was q

tale will put these political brsggarts
down.
The vote Of the counties in the
Twenty-ffth Judicial district in 1890
on secretary of state, was as follows:
The advocate., 1891-11-18

The vote cast on Judge, in 1891, as
above given, is 9,166, which shows
a diminution of 1,7S5 votes. The per-
centsge of Republican strength in
1890, on secretary Of state, is 49;
Peoples, 3S; Democratic, 13 per cent.
This decrease of vote, if distributed
proportionately among the Republi-
can, Peoples and Democratic parties,
would diminish the Republican vote
in the district SIG; the Peoples, 678;
and the Democratic vote, 231. Hence,
the diminished vote Of each party
would be: Republican, 4,514; Peo-
ple's, 3,5O7; Democrat, LAS.
Now placing 500 Democratic votes
to the Peoples column, and the re-
mainder of the Democratic vote, 645,
to the Republican column, and the
Earle vote should be, $3.50; and the
Doster vote should be 4,007.
But what are the returns on Judge
Of the district court? The Earle vote
is but 1927, which is 232 less than the
amalgamated Democratic and Re-
publican vote should most clearly
show by the msudlin attempt at
reasoning as feebly exhibited by Mr..
Butterfeld, while Judge Doster's
vote is 232 votes more than the as
sumed 500 Democratic votes, claimed
to have been cast for Judge Doster
at the late election. Mr.. Earle has
obtained "a per cent Of the vote cast,
Z per cent. of which represents the
conceded 645 Democratic votes that
he obtained, assuming that Mr.. Doster
"claims to have received 500 Demo
cratic votes" This would give Mr..
Earle Of Republican support, AZ per
