AN ALLIANCE DEMOCRAT.

Col. Livingston of Georgia, president
OF the Alliance OF that state and mem
Der Of congress, said in speech de-
livered before the Young Mems Demo
cratic league OF Atlanta:
Now, said on that night that I was a
Democrat. 1 said l stood or the Democratic
platform, and that was in favor of every
plank in it. ! said more than that; that
any Democrat who went into contest,
whether he agreed with the majority or
minority on any proposition that was
adopted by the Democratic convention, was
bound by the action Of the majority, or he
could not be good square Democrat. l
said that had ever been, and ever would
be, bound by the maiorityvote in the Demo
cratic party anywhere and everywhere.
That is good doctrine, and will suit
any Democrat. The rule OF the ma
jority is the Democratic rule. What
ever the party DEGREES is binding upon
the party followers. IfCol. Livingston
agrees with that rule, and will show by
his acts that he lives up to it, he is a
good-enough Democrat, whether he be
friendly to the Ocala platform or not,
for, by his own definition Of q Democrat,
he must reject the Ocala platform if
the Democratic party pronounces
against it.
Very soon Col. Livingston will be
given a chance to show whether he
meant what he said in his Atlanta
speech. Congress meets in December
The Democrats will nominate a candi-
date for speaker. The action of the
majority will effect the nomination.
Every congressman, then, who claims
to be a Democrat, as Col. Livingston
does, will DE ''bound by the action OF
the majority" as he asserts, and must
vote for the Democratic candidate. If
he does this, and the other Alliance
congressman who claim to be Demo
Gratis do the same thing, the scheme
for them TO combine with the Republi
cans to elect an Alliance speaker will
fall to the ground. a little while and
we shall see how sincere the Georgia
Alliance president is in his protesta-
lions OF Democratic fealty.

SILVER AND TIE TAHIFE.

Mr.. Mills speech at Mansfield, Ohio,
was strong appeal for the Democrats
to ignore all other questions in 1892,
and put forward the tariff as the sole
issue. The money question he would
drop. He voted for free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, and believed that
metal could be maintained with q par
ity with gold. But that is of no i'm
portance, says Mr.. Mills, for we have
an abundance of money now in the
country-it is not more money in the
country that is needed, but more money
in the pockets Of the people. So let US
drop the money question and turn our
selves to reducing the tariff and giving
the people cheap goods.
Very good, Mr.. Mills, as to the dag
nosis of the disease. There is a great
deal of money in the country, and the
people would be far better off if it were
in their pockets. But how shall We
get it there? The tariff should be re-
duced. is an unchallenged proposition
among Democrats, but from that source
3 we can expect no relief for at least
thSee years. A tariff bill could not go
through the senate, and if it were to
get to the president it would meet his
veto A Democratic president may be
elected in 1892, and Democratic SEN
Ate may come from those elections.
The president and the senate would not
take their seats until 1893. Without
'spssiaf session of congress, there would
be no relief even then until the Fifty
third congress met in the latter part of
1893, which means that no law would
be enacted to go into effect before July,
1894. The relief proposed by this
remedy is at least three years distant,
and dependent on the Democrats hold

The grippe has appeared again in New
York.
The italian queen is noted throughout
Europe as a pede, trian. She also displays
an endurance in mountain elm bing that is
considered remarkable for a woman.

Old man Adams, who founded the
Adams express company, was as a lad o
stable helper and bartender in Boston. An
old lady who took pity on ths destitute six
year-old adrift in the world, got him a place
in grocery. The whirling of time has so
brought things around, as the story goes,
that the daughter of that very old lady is
now said to owe much Of the comforts of
her life TO Waldo Adams, the son of the
friendless boy.
A pamphlet issued to the farmers of New
York state in behalf of better roads, makes
the statement that in one county # New
Jersey where modern roads have been
established the farms have increased in
value by six times as much as the cost of
the improved highways. In view of such
testimony, which is, moreover, substanti-
ated by the experience of other sections, it
is difficult to understand serious opposition
TO road reform.
Few people can form an idea of what is
involved in the expression of Ian inch of
rain," 1t may aid such to follow this Gu
rious calculation: An acre is equal to
6,212, 640 square inches, and an inch deep OF
water on this area will be as many cubic
inches, which at 227 inches to the gallon is
%, 000 gallons. This immense quantity of
water will weigh 100000 pounds, or over
one hundred tons.

Western Washington. 1t is to have a pub
lie highway from the Straits OF Fuca to the

coast road of nearly three hundred miles in
length, extending across the state The re-
suit would be the immediate settlement of Il
big unoccupied territory, which would add
immensely to the wealth and population of
that portion of the state.

THE CRAZE LAND.

The hardships and privations that
men endure while struggling for a
quarter section of land that each may
call his own, in the newly opened In
dian lands OF the Territory, prove the
inbred desire OF men for land, for
homes. The love of gold, riches, social
position, honor and fame are shared in
varying degrees by men OF different
temperaments and habits OF thought,
but the desire to have and to hold for
ever to ones heirs ard assigns, a home,
be it ever so humble, is desire that
fire will not burn out of the great ma
iority of the human race. Man is a
nomad only in the savage state. The
highest practical attainment of civil
ization is the home, the charmed circle
towards which every homeless man
feels yearning more or less strong.
Not all, OF course, of those who
focked into the newly opened territory
were honest home-seekers. Many Of
them were thieves, sharpers, specula-
tors and the like who hoped to make
something out of the opportunities
meant for better men. Considering all
things, however, it is very doubtful if
the settler who succeeded in getting a
quarter section OF prairie for nothing
has done as well as he who goes into a
community more or less settled in
Texas, and buys small farm On credit
even or partly SO. In the latter case
he has many advantages that are alb
sent in the former. 1t costs several
dollars an acre to put such improve
ments in aquarter section in the Terri
tory as will make it habitable. Then
the whole framework Of social organi-
cation in the latter is wanting, and
nothing is as it should be. There is
bound to be an unusual amount of hard
ship and suffering from the innumera-
BILE discomforts and inconveniencies
inseparable from the social chaos
Astounding. Only the hardest and
most shifty can endure it, while others

ing majority in the house and elect
ing the president and majority OF the
senate.
The silver bill can be passed by both
the Democratic house and the Republi-
can senate, and the Republican presi-
dent will not dare 70 veto it. 1t will
put more money in circulation, some of
which, az least, will get into the
pockets of the people, and give an i'm
petus to trade. This much of relief is
immediate. Neither does it need to
overshadow or set back the tariff ques-
ton. The Democratic party will
strengthen itself by going before the
people in 1892 calling for tariff reform
and free silver.

For many years it has been 'Galves-

engineers, it was nothing" But pri-
vate capital and unofficial engineers

to admit the truth. y city at Velasco,
where there is deep water, means much

The Recent Rain-MakIns in Texas.

From Can We Make 1t Rain?" by Gen. Robert
G. Dyrenforth, in North American Review for
October.
Besides these three heavy storms which
occurred after the principal operations, not
less than nine showers of much less impor-
lance fell during the sixteen days Of our ex-
periments, most extraordinary occurrence
in this locality, and especially at this season
of the year. That these results were not
produced at an excessive expense Of mate
rial may be seen from the fact that in the
entire series Of experiments only two tons
of iron, one ton of acid, one-fourth ton of
potash and manganese, and one ton Of rack
arock powder and other explosives were
consumed, none of which are expensive
materials. In the opinion of the writer the
experiments clearly demonstrate:
l. That the conclusions from explosions
exert a marked and practical effect upon
the atmospheric conditions in producing or

the upper currents.

Quoted for so many years.
The name ''F'orepaugh" is a household
world, from ocean to ocean, from border TO
border. 1t has always been synonym of
all that was meritorious in the show world.
1t is priceless trademark that has never
been lessened in value by chicanery. 1t
has but one translation. 1t means a good
show-pure, ac,ean and respectable. For
almost thirty Years it has traversed thou
sands upon thousands OF miles-hs aim IS

DEEP WATER a FACT.

For nearly twenty years Texas has
been discussing deep water, and for as
many years money has been expended
on the coast of the state in the effort to
give the desired boon. For the last
five years, especially, Texas and the
Northwest have had presented 10 them
in speech and print the advantages of a
deep water port on the coast OF this
state. Hope deferred had almost made
the heart sick when private capital did
what all the governmental millions had
failed to do.
Texas has deep water at the mouth of
the Brazos.
And now Texas should begin to reap
of the benefits so long portrayed. a
cheaper haul to the worlds markets, a
more direct connection with the South
American countries, a relief from the
long rail haul to the ports of the gulf
anu Atlantic east of the Mississippi.
Texas has abundant crops and deep
water. Could the Gossett law be
amended and cheap money given back
to the people, Texas might look for
ward to progress within the next
twelve months exceeding anything
known to the advancement of the state.
1t is hard to think that beneicent sea-
sons and the triumph at Velasco should
be Distracted by chosen lawmakers
but We may, at least, be grateful that
we have good crops and deep water.
The benefits of both will soon be real
lied.
