cause for discomfort has passed. Crops
were never better, and prices are good.
The Alliance has done nothing TO bring
this about. 1t is in the course of ma
ture. Their minds relieved of causes
of depression, the judgment of the
farmers has resumed sway. The revolt
has come against the attempt TO fetter
their freedom of thought and action and
they begin to see where they are being
led, and for what purpose it was design
ed to use them. The Alliance has lost its
novelty and its force, and is melting
away. 1t will probably show some
strength in localities this fall, but in an
other year its influence as a political
power will be gone. When the farmers
return to thinking for themselves. they
will vote for themselves. The men who
are just now making the most strenuous
efforts to keep up the organization are
either designing politicians or disap-
pointed Office-seeking hacks. The ALI
ance has benefited nobody except few
frauds who have ridden into office, or a
gang of tramping lecturers who assess
the members to pay their salaries.

CALAMITY HYPOCRISY.

The longest loudest, leading howl of
the Alliance has been against banks and
bankers, SO last winter the legislature
enacted law providing for a state bank
examiner. This new additional official
has just made his first report which
shows that upwards of one-half of the
stockholders of the state banks of Kansas
are farmers. OF course the Alliance
leaders will say that the report lies, and
go on announcing bankers, but that will
not alter the fact. Another senseless cry
of the Alliance is to the effect that ma
tional banks get money from the govern
ment at per cent As the Alliance say
that they could stand per cent. money.
why don't they organize national banks
and get the per cent. money? 1t won't
do to say that they haven't the money,
for the bank ledgers of every bank in
the state show that they have.

Here is an extract from one Of McKin.
ley's speeches that contains buShel OF
common sense compressed into a nut.
shell. Every sensible farmer will en-
dorse it:
"The farmer doesn't want any more
farms; he wants more mouths to feed,
more men who do not produce from the
soil, but who earn money in the shop,
and he wants them as near his field of
production as he can get them. The
closer you can bring the field of pro-
duction to the field of consumption, the
better it will be for both the producer
and consumer. Ask the farmer whether
he would rather have another farm
beside him or factory and be will take
the factory"

Lewis Sbafer, farmer who lives two
and one-half miles north OF this city,
turned over to the state agricultural de-
partment yesterday pumpkin which,
weighs eighty-three pounds. 1t is de-
signed for the worlds fair.-Topeka Dem
Ocrat.
Eighty-three pounds is some pumpkin,
but if the state agricultural department
is after size in the pumpkin line to ex-
hibit at the worlds fair, they should
secure the one exhibited at the Southern
kansas fair which weighs one hundred
and sixty pounds, and which is still ex-
hibiled in the show window of Cole &
Jones, on East Douglas avenue, in this
city. And while they are about it the
society might secure exhibits of all other
agricultural products corresponding in
size, from the producers and exhibitors
at the Wichita fair.

A man whose business could have never
survived, and which would never have
been started but for the successful work
done by the EAGLE for Wichita, declared
last week that the only interest he had in
the election was the defeat of the Repub-
lican party so that the county printing
might be turned over to a calamity
sheet hardly known outside of the
county, and which sheet never brought
a man or dollar to the country, nor
ever helped the city or its business to the
amount of anything. The value of such
leech to any community calls for no
elucidation, but the fool who ripped open
his goose that had been laying golden
eggs for him was paragon of generosity
and an encyclopedia of wisdom COM
pared to the above brilliant hero.

SOME GRAIN FIGURES.

1t is difficult matter for most people
to comprehend or make sense of figures
in aggregated amounts unless the figure:
are comparatively stated. In other
words statistctics are not only dry but
uninstructive to the average reader. As
an aggregated number representing any
production, standing alone. there is no
difference in the mind of one million AMI
one billion. Neither are comprehended.
But from official statistics of the grain
crops of the United States we take the
following aggregate and comparative
statements, which may be easily appre-
ciated. The total number of bushels of
grain raised in the United States this
year are wheat, $50 millions; corn, 2065
millions; oats, 75S millions; rye, 36 mil
lions; barley, n millions, or a total
grain product of 8. 537 million bushels, or
1000 million bushels more than in 1890.
The estimated requirements for home
consumption of wheat are $50 millions;
of corn, 100 millions; of oats, 600 mil
lions; of rye, 20 millions; and of barley,
81 millions The 1890 crops of corn, oats
and barley fell considerably short of
home requirements. but the deficiencies
were made up from the reserves left over
from 1889. the yields of all crops for
that year being quite liberal, especially
for corn. The full figures for 1889 are as
follows: Wheat, 400, $50, 900 bushels;
corn, 2,112, 892 bushels; oats, 751 $4,000
bushels; rye, 2S, 100, 900 bushels; barley,
66, 900. 600 bushels; total for all cereals,
3, ,449. 067 900 bushels, being about $1,000
600 bushels under this years total yield,
but 955. .000,000 bushels more than 1890.

WHY gooth Killed Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln. either in belief or
life had no creed He was murdered by
John Wilkes Booth. not for religious or
anti-religIous reasons, nor even for pO-
litical reasons, as Is commonly supposed
by large number Of people but simply
because Mr. Lincoln had promised Mr-
Booth 10 pardon John Y. Beal, an init
mate personal frienI Of Booths Secre-
tary Seward strongly opposed the par

coin that he subsequently refused b
issue the pardon This fact, known 20

How any sane body Of men can get to-
