of all nationalities, America citi-
zenship, if not infused strongly into
the growing generations, stands in
danger of being tranpeled upon.
Instead Of the once accepted theory
that the people should support the
government, there is tendency
toward the doctrine that the govern
meut should support the people. A.
the Milwaukee Tslegroph saya:
"tree government cannot exist long
without intelligent, patriotic citizen
ship, and the chief need Of intelli-
geuce is in the direction of the
duties Of citizenship. Our public
schools can furnish this intelligence
if it is made their aim aud duty TO
furnish 1t, and the sooner they 90
about the work the better. They
have no proper function but this,
aud if they fail 20 ill it there is no
reason why they should exist.
Public schools that do not teach the
principles Of our government and
the duties and responsibilities Of its
citizens should be abolished"

An Alliance Trust in Wheat.

The plan Of Farmers Alliance
trust to withhold this years wheat
crop from the market until farmers
can get their own price for it, as
telegraphed from Chicago, is not
novel The fact that a similar move
ment, with cotton as the staple Of
action, was attempted some four
years ago, when the Farmers Ali
ance had just begun its operations
in the Southern States, takes away
the item Of originality from the
present scheme.
The results of that attempt may
be instructive to the manipulators
Of The present enterprise. General
John b. Gordon, Governor Of
Georgia, conceived the cotton oper-
alton. He presented IL to the En-
gilsh capitalists, who stood ready to
furnish any amount OF capital
necessary to hold the product by
making advances to those cotton
growers who would not be able to
hold it without financial assistance.
The Alliance leaders were in favor
Of it. But the innumerable pro-
ducers, whose consent to the plan
was necessary in order 10 put it into
effect, utterly prevented it from be-
ing carried out, and we have since
seen cotton selling at prices below
the lowest record.
We fancy that the projected Ali
ance trust in wheat will nave the
same ending. 1t could be put in
operation-bat only in Utopia.

Providence seems to be on the
side of the American farmers this
year. Abundant crops are the rule
throughout America, and the fact
that tue cereal crops are almost
failures in Russia aud India, which
nave been referred to AS Europe's
granarles, makes IL certain that the
American farmers viii be able to
get big prices for their products.
The farmers are to be congratulated;
they have had hard time for
several years, but the turn has come
and, thanks to the Mckinley tariff
law and the crops, they are to re-
celye their share of the couutry's
prosperity. Republican Legislation
did not make the big crops but by
enhancing the price of farm pro-
ducts it enabled the farmers TO get
the full bene Of those BIG crops.

Mansfield (O.) doctor is the owner
of horse which has fondness for
playing practical jokes. Recently the
physician drove out into the country to
answer to sick call. Arriving ut his
destination he tied his horse to post
near which hung rope attached to u
large bell used as a dinner signal for
employees on the place, and went inside.
Shortly after the bell rung violently.
The doctor and the man OF the house
both looked out, but could see nothing
except the horse. They had hardly
turned away. however, until the bell
rang again, and again they looked, but
could see nothing. This was repeated,
and the doctor determined to solve the
mystery, SO, at the third ring, instead
OF going into the house, he stepped out
and hid in the yard He kept his eve
on the bell rope, and in about n minute
was surprised to see his horse lift up his
head, smile slyly and give the rope a
good, hard tug. When the physician
sprang out and confronted the horse.
the animal instantly tried to put on a
look of innocence, but was unsuccessful.
