Ofan symbols none Is so ancient as thu
BARRIERS pole; few have ca1sed SO much
antiquarian research. According to the
-Athenin Oracle" the ancient Romans
were SO benefited by the first barber who
came to their city that they erected q
statue to his memory. Ancienly BARRIERS
acted in dual capacity, as hairdressers
and surgeons. In Rome they were wont
to hang out. at the end of their poles,
basins, that weary and wounded travellers
might observe them at q distance The
particolored staff is said to indicate that
surgery was carried on within, the color
stripe representing the fillet elegantly en-
twined round tho patients arm while he
was phlebosomized. An illuminated mizsal
Of the time of Edward I has plate repro

BARRIERS proper-that is, hairdreasefs and
barber distinguished by thu
eoanr of the bands ON tho poles, the former
having blue and the latter a red. As fax
back as 1897 BARRIERS and surgeons were
compelled by statute to display their poles,
the latter likewise affixing gallipot and
red rag at the end. The fabulist Gay, in
his fable on the Goat Without Beard, T"
altndtng to harber's shop, speaks Of the
red rag pendent from the pole.

The rise OF the Farmers Alliance
has been In no particular like that Of the
Republican party. That had but one
object at the outset, the prevention of
the extension Of sIavery-a proposition
which all the moderate men of the
country could favor and which
the Abolition leaders denounced.
On the contrary, the Alliance has
put forth number Of extreme
propositions which moderate and
thoughtful men cannot accept. 1t is
controlled by few ambitious leaders
who have not received recognition from
the old parties and have put themselves
at the head Of the new, announcing
theories so crude and visionary that
level. headed men cannot indorse them.
Again, il Is making war on other inter-
ests. and has already provoked an or
ganization Of men employed by rail-
roads. The leaders In the Legislatures
have gone further than did the grangers
in their fierce onset few years ago
an organization which did not last two
years. Last of all, their efforts at legis-
lation In Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
have opened the eyes Of the country to
the folly Of the leaders of the movement.
