lottery question. They have started
out on wild harem-scarem race

not in such haste; they are using a
little discretion, little judgment and
common sense. Theirs is a good
cause; the benefits to be derived bv
carrying the amendment are many
too many to dwell on at present. Let
the ants howl and kick, and cavort
and squeal. Their whimpering will
do them no good. On the other hand
those who are espousing the cause

are quietly Misunderstanding for the

their point. Ants kick !! kick high

Speaking of DR.. Palmer's recent
lottery speech the Boston Herald says
The anti lottery fight down in Louisi
ana is getting hot, and the danger now
seems to be that the leaders will overdo
things. One of the anti lottery speak.
ers proclaims the right of the people
to take the helm of government into
their hands, either by revolution, as
our forefathers did, by resort to arms,
Or as Cromwell did by dissolving
Parliament and beheading the King,
or as the people of New Orleans did
in destroyingth the Malta. If the people
dannot vanquish the lottery by peace
able methods, he advocates revolution.
The lottery faction couldn't ask for a
more serviceable ally to help their
cause.

The only plausible excuse thu

The only plausible excuse that
the Farmers Union can have for acting
as body on the lottery question is
the amendment would create monop.
oily, but every sensible man knows
that competition is not desirable in the
lottery business and that this is not
the kind of monopoly against which
their efforts are pledged, viz: those
which affect the natural avenues of
trade.

Although an anti-lotteryite and a
member of the Farmers Alliance, Bro.
Goodwin, of the Colfax Chronicle, is
a Democrat. In the last few days
some of the curious ones in his neigh
borhood have been overly anxious to
know how be stands politically, and
whether or not he was supporting Mr.,
Adams for the governofship. Bro.
Goodwin thus defines his position j:
We have been asked if we were favor
ing the candidacy of President Y. S.
Adams, of the Farmers Alliance, for
Governor. If he is making the race
within Democratic lines and can secure
the nomination, yes; if not, decidedly no.
The same applies as to our support of any
and all Alliance propositions. Where
they are within party lines we are for
them, where they conflict we are against
them.

down and rebuilt, the same as in the

that should be removed, the whole system
becomes enervated and distressed feeling
OF weakness and unnatural fatigue follows.
