Kansas farmers who remember the
corn they parted with for 10 cents a
bushel will look at the 68 and one
half cents with eyes filed with hon
est mist.-Kansas City Times.
The above paragraph conveys a
powerful argument, from an unwil-
ling source, in favor of a sub-treaS-
ury plan. If the corn the Kansas
farmers sold for from ten to fifteen
cents bushel is now worth 68 and
one-half cents, who gets the margins
of from SO to SO cents? If the pro-
visions Of the sub-treasury bill were
now in force the corn available in
the United States would be the prop
erty of the farmers who produced it,
and the raise of prices would inure
to the benefit of the farmers. instead
of to the profit of bulls and bears
and grain spectators. 1t would
seem as if few more object lessons
and practical illustration such as this
should cause the Alliance to rally to
the support of tina sub-treasury bill.

The old party leaders have omit
ted one important factor in their cal
culations regarding the proposed
campaign of education. They have
not taken into account that 9,000,-
600 mortgages that are leading a
propaganda among the people, cease
less in their efforts and marvellous in
their results. These 5000, GOO
mortgages scattered throughout the
country, on an average of one to ev-
cry seventh man, woman and child,
can do more in the line of teaching
the people the need of radical re-
forms than the whole combined sub
sidized press can explain away.
These 100000 mortgages take no
vacation, never disagree as to meth

always conclude their labors with a

The Farmers Advocate, Charles
town, w. Va, says: "Representa-
tive Hooker, Of Mississippi, will not
admit the probability of the Alliance
defeating Senator George for re-elec-
ton, but he does admit that the
Democrats will have to fight to de-
feat the Alliance, and that for the
first time in that state the Demo-
Gratis are to organize clubs in every
voting precinct in the state. This
last statement speaks for itself.
From Alliance sources we learn that
the election of an Alliance man as
successor to Senator George is con-
sidered almost a certainty"

Letter from Lone Elm.


The observance of this national hol-
iday is becoming more and more
general. Whether or not the eXer-
cises of the day have beneficial
effect upon the people of our land,
depends altogether on what is said
and done. 1t seems that the pres
ent year, the orators of the day
were heavily loaded with 6. o. p.
shot and she'll, and in some instan-
ces produced CONSERVATION among
the people, by FREEING the aforesaid
loads into their unsuspecting ears.
We devoutly pity the condition OF
the man who would have the effront-
cry to so prostitute the day so sa-
credly dedicated to the cultivation
of our kindlier natures, and the
awakening and reviving within the
patriotic breast memories Of our
departed dead. The soldiers Of the
United States, whether quietly
and peacefully sleeping beneath the
green swards of our cemeteries, or
still mingling with the active among
the living, are objects of interest to
every intelligent citizen. Our sol
diers have purchased for us, and at
terrible cost to themselves, the lib
critics we are now enjoying. Histo-
ry written by clear hearts and loyal
hands will ever accord the Just
fame of our brave soldiers. At this
far removed date from the beginning
and ending of the civil war, none
should be more torgiving, more
charitable, more magnanimous to
their "then opponents in arms,
than our own brave boys who wore
the blue, and demonstrated the fact
on many bloody battle field, that
we cannot to-day be one, and to-
morrow many nations The issues
of that war, with all the sad and
terrible incidents attendant, are OF
the past We love the sentiment
which should pervade every true
and loyal heart, to meet on the 50th
day of May, and scatter flowers
over the graves of our sleeping
heroes. We detest sycophancy that
would take advantage of our sacred
day, to thrust upon the people par
tisan politics, and endeavor thereby
to exclude any patriotic heart from
offering tribute of love to our de-
parted dead, and deny them the
privilege of commingling tears of
sympathy with the living bereft, as
as they we we'd ones, by
the drea ar There
is not, nor never was, political
party big enough to contain all our
soldiers-they are the property, so
to speak, of our common country,
and he who would seek to teach the
fact that any one of the political
parties can, or did, contain all our

The store of Murphy Brothers, of
the Wilmington Hay Market. at No.
7l3 West Front street, was broken into
last night, and an attempt was made
TO rob. The firm does a large business
and the thieves nodoubt thought there
was considerable money IN the office.
In this, however, they were deceived,
for as the greater part of the business
Is transacted in the morning, the
money is always deposited irlbank.
An attempt was made to enter by
the side door, but as this could not be
effected, the hinges were torn from
shutter. After getting inside an inifec-
tual effort was made TO break into the
safe, and powder was used TO blow il
open. IL was too strong for the
explosives, but even If tho thioves
had succeeded in forcing IL, they
would not have secured any booty.
The desk and money drawer were also
broken open, but they had their labor
in vain. The burglary was committed
between o'clock last evening and
$50 O'Clock this morning, and was dis
covered by Charles Neal, when he
opened tho Office.

Another breakdown of Third Street
Bridge causes the people n great
amount of Inconvenience and expense.
Each trip across costs cents, and
some OF the boats are so small and SO
recklessly rowed by boys as to make
them positively dangerous. The bridge
tender has nothing 10 do but draw his
salary when the draw is off, and it
looks as II there were some design In
the accidents, especially as so many of
them have happened In bad weather.
The county has two boats at the bridge
and a good many people believe that il
the brldge-tender had to row the peo-
pie over free whenever the bridge was
off, that II would not get out OF order
so often. Last night It was too much
trouble to light the lamps on the
bridge or tho approaches, and those
compelled to cross had to grope their
way to and from the boats the best
way they could. InoN WORKER.
