A Wideawake Latte Miss.

I have a little girl, four years old,
who is a source of much amusement to
all who hear her talk. The day of the
Presidential election we lost her; some
one had left the basement door open
and she vas away up the street with
the kitten in herarms. I ran after her
and said: ooh! baby, where are you

Cute Little Indian Maids.

When Miss Ellen Terry was last in
Philadelphia she became deeply inter-
ested in the Indian children ut the
Lincoln institute on south Eleventh
street, and paid them several visits.
While she was very generous in her
gifts to them her curious m~annerisms
made a deep impression upon their un-
sophisticated minds. and one girl re-
marked to a lady connected with the
management: ''How nice Miss Terry
is! But isn't it a pity she is always
drunk when she m to see us!"
Another story, not a whit less
natural, relates to an evening which
some of the young redskins spent at
the Academy of Music. when many OF
the ladies present were in full even
ing dress. After the little Indians had
reached home that night one of them
said very plaintively: .slt was beauti

The Washington Daily Post says:


Ii the principles OF the farmers move
ment are dangerous and threaten the
credit OF the nation, as the representa-
tlves of the old parties declare, now is
the time to enlighten the people by n
thorough discussion OF them. The label
OF the old party rests very lightly on the
voter OF the present day. He is doing
considerable thinking on his own ac-
count. The brass band and the torch
light procession are rapidly losing their
power, and with the march Of ballot re-
form in the several states, the Doodle
methods become less potent. Will the
old parties take the hint, or will they
depend on party loyalty and not realize
their mistake until after the ballots are
cast? What has happened in Kansas,
Nebraska and other Western States can
be duplicated in almost every state in
the Union.

There has never been a time in the

lessly the Campaign of Misrepresenta-

Doubt That the Reform Army Must
Fight Its Battles Alone.
copyright, 1891, by tho Reform Press News
Association, New York;
As long as the enemies of reform con-
fine themselves to mere lying about the
Alliance and its friends perhaps it is not
worth while to pay much attention to
them. II the liars would only believe
their own lies the Alliance could afford to
ignore them. 1t would be an utter waste
of time to contradict all of the disparag-
ing reports about the independent move
ment which are sent out. Nobody in
the great army Of independent voters is
any longer deceived by them. This be-
ing the case, the indirect effect of these
lies is really beneficial to the movement.
If the old party politicians will only be-
lieye VIII 5heir leaders tell them about
the weakness and "insignificance" of
the new party, it will be so much the
easier for the reform army to march on
to victory. A foe whose strength is I'M
derrated is twice armed. So keep right
on with your lying and misrepresenta-
ton, gentlemen. We can stand it as
long as you can. In fact, we rather en-
JOY it, and if it relieves your bad tempers
all the better. Well merely take the
liberty to laugh in our sleeves once in a
while.

Contracts have been awarded by the
Indian bureau for cattle on the Sioux
reservation. Quite a numbero Of the con-
tracts went to South Dakota people.
These contracts will make a demand for
cattle in that part OF the country which
isnear enough to the reservation to allow
the stock to be driven to the Indians.
The prices range from $14 to SIS for
heifers, S23.7O to $2S for cows, and $50
to S35 for bulls.

why Lawyers Are Not Trusted.

The farmers and laborers have for
years sent lawyers to represent their in.
because the lawyer could talk
good and was a smart fellow. The law
yers looked after their own interests so
well that it takes a lawyer to interpret
every law and sometimes a court and
half a dozen lawyers can't do it until the
clients are ruined. This is why the far
mers and laborers are distrustful of the
politician.-Allcant.

If the Alliance accomplishes nothing
else than the emancipation OF the farmer
from his partisan bondage it will have
done a most remarkable, useful and pa
triotic work. One Of tho great uses OF
all labor organizations is to work this
very emancipation, although it was not
their PRIMARY purpose.
The Alliance and its kindred organiza-
tions will be the most useful of all in
this work because its membership will
be the most numerous and has probably
been the most strongly partisan. Let
the good work go on till p~artisanship
pure and simple shall be reckoned among
the relics of a past barbarism.-Fort

l am fully confirmed in this opinion
regarding the independent nature Of
next years struggle by personal letters
and private reports from all over the
country. Even Alliance leaders of the
south, who will not indorse the action of
the Cincinnati conference. admit pri-
vately that the whole tendency of pub
lie sentiment in their sections is toward
independent political action. They un-
derstand perfectly the signs of the times,
and while they believe the hour has not
yet come for openly joining the great
movement their sympathies are in that
direction, and they will not be missing
when they are really needed.

Ican't resist the temptation to make a
note of the history of one sample lie
which probably carried great comfort to
the worried eastern Democrats and Re.
publicans about two weeks ago. 1t was
contained in an Associated Press dis
patch from Topeka, Kan, and of course
it was prominently printed by all the
great journals of both the parties. 1t
set forth that the Cloud county Alliance,
at its last. meeting, adopted this highly
interesting resolution:
Whereas, The south was not represented in
the late Cincinnati convention, and
Whereas, We believe the third party vii! dis
ruDt the Republican party to the benefit of the
Democratic party; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we abandon the third party
to return to our past utilization.

Il
Now that the first enthusiasm over
the work Of the Cincinnati convention
has given place to sober second thought,
believe that the best judges of the stu
alton are more than eve convinced of
the certainty of the political revolt which
will first manifest itself at the polls in a
national election next year. The exas-
perated millions in fields and shops will
not be paciied by mere platform conces
sions from either or both the old parties.
Fusion or absorption are no longer pos
sible. The absolute surrender demanded
of the real dictators of the old parties
will never be granted, and the reform
army is at last fully convinced of this.
Before the reform convention meets next
February every Alliance mar Of intelli-
gence, north and south, east and west,
will know and admit that the cause of
reform cannot be fought in this country
under any old banner.

1t should be explained that this report
originated with the Topeka Capital,
about as constituencies an old party or
gan as is published. One would natur-

some excuse for sending out such an an

been introduced before the Cloud county
Alliance, if no more. But what are the
~disgraceful facts about the matter? The
last number Of that excellent paper. the
Topeka Advocate, contains this letter
from G. w. Coffey, the president of the
Cloud county Alliance:

max pass the entrance to Bering sea. by
the Thetis, and warned. The American
schooner Walter, of Kadiak, was also
warned at the same time. Several schoon-
