BooKwALTER.s SCHEME.

One OF the principal drawbacks
against which the farmer has to con-
tend. says Mr. John w. Bookwalter,
and that which irresponsible in great
| measure for his hard condition. is the
lack of organization, OF concerted ef-
| fort. of communication one with an
other; in other words, the lack of CO.
| hesion such as exists among the indi-
viduals of other callings and occupa-
tions. He believes that if the farm
ers could be induced to live together in
| villages instead of as now dispersed
over the face Of the country, many Of
the advantages of division OF labor
would accrue, and greater economy
would result. One well, one ice house,
one large baking oven, one creamery
or butter-making establishment, one
wash house, and so on, would reduce
| greatly the expense to each household
and relieve the housewife OF the innum-
cradle burdens that make her life
wretched. To this is to DE added the
social advantages gained. The farm
ers wives relieved of washing,
ironing, baking and butter-making
could call" as urban ladies do, and
enjoy many Of the social advantages
now denied them.
Such is Mr.. Boolwalter's remedy for
McKinleyism and the kindred ills that
af1iict the farmer. He thinks enough
of it TO experiment with it, and has a
12.000-acre tract OF raw prairie in
Nebraska on which he will settle his
ideal colony.
Now it is difficult to see in this
scheme anything in the world but
Shakerism with the religion left out.
There is too much of the commune or
community interest in his scheme to
make it practicable. The spirit OF
individualism is too strong in the
average American to suffer him TO
embark in such ideal enterprises.
Schemes Of this sort have been tried
before to no purpose. theoretically
they are most inviting, but will not
stand the test of practice. What be-
came Of the cooperative plan OF cook
lug adopted year ago in one Of Chi
cago's fashionable suburban villages?
After all, such remedy, if practica-
bic. would only doctor the symptoms,
without attacking the cause of the
farmers ills. 1t would, for example,
meet Mchinleyism with increased econ
omy and the burdens Of an enormous
pension list, subsidies, bounties and
high taxes would be forgotten in the
social gaiety and distracting amuse-

AhANshS REEoRaIrR.

Brother Bronson OF Fort Worth re-
Gently made a speech in East Texas,
and is thus reported by the Greenville
Banner:
On Tuesday night Rev. s. J. Bronson Of
the Fort Worth Industrial Educator spoke
on the condition of the country. He for
merly lived in Kansas, and he told the
audience how the mortgage companies had
plaStcrcd that state over with mortgages so
that a person could almost walk across the
state on mOrtgaged land He charged the
Old parties and their leaders with being in
league with Wall street to enslave the
people With his hands raised and his eyes
rolled toward heaven he declared that lie
believed in the sight of God that the Re-
publican aad Democratic parties were in
collision to cnslave the people You are
slaves said he, unless you act and act
quickly" He aid not say what that action
should be exactly, but the inference was
that his hearers should Join the third party.
He told the people that they must try bal
lots and if success did not crown their Gt
forts on this line they must try bullets.
This revolutionary uiterauce was cheercd
by portion Of the audience. Bronson al
viSsd his hearers to boycott all newspapers
that did not reflect their ideas and advocate
what he termed the reform movement"
He said over at Fort Worth they had il in
Tor ! HE GAZETTE ana InaJ IL must cnanGe
its policy or die. Brouson's speech was
decidedly the most rabid and revolutionary
delivered during the Cncampment. He
quoted scripture and tried to lock pious.
and then ndUlged in a lot of bIasphemy as
to what Jesus Christ would do if he were
now on earth.
When Bro. Bronson lived in Kansas
did he vote the Republican ticket, and
thus do all in his power to fasten con-
ditions upon the people against which
they now rcbel? Did Bro. Bronson
give the candle to the devil and the
wick to the Lord in politics? Did Bro.
Bronson learn to abuse and misrepre-
sent Democracy while serving Repub-
Ecanism ? Did Bro. Bronson learn to
talk revolution while Il member of the
party OF blood and Of robbery and OF
class devotion
Was Bro. Bronson a Democrat or a
Republican in Kansas?

Never we're men in a more awkward
predicament than are the anti-Hogg
organs at this moment. Since the col
lapse Of the receivership farce that
promised but failed TO furnish them
with plentiful store of rafting cam
paign thunder, they have been between
the devil and the deep sea.
IN the first place, the sub-teasury
leaders, by drifting into the third party
at the command OF the national high
muck-a-mucks, have damaged the Sc
cret alliance formed here last winter
with the anti-HOggites, and further
confirmed at Waco.
This is q sad blow to the ants, who
have for months been patting the
sub-treasury evangelists on the back
and encouraging and melting them 10

them have gone SO far as to give
qualified approval to the sub-treasury
humbug, while others have only CEN
sured it mildly, hoping thereby 10 con-
firm the friendship OF the Tracys.

FORMALLY INDICT ED.

The committee appointed for that
purpose has, according to a recent an
nouncement, completed the task of
formulating charges of heresy against
DR.. Briggs. The principal counts in
the indictment are disbelief in the
Bible as the only true source OF divine
authority" and disbelief in the verbal
inspiration Of the Bible" The doctor
having put himself on record as looking
20 the Bible, the church and reason, for
divine authority and light, it is prob
able that, unless he modifes his views,
ne Is doomed TO heresy in that count.
As TO the verbal inspiration OF the
Bible" he appears to be equally guilty,
as appeared some time ago from his oft
repeated illusions to the errors OF one
sort or another found in the scriptures.
The able doctors higher criticism
has led him far from the old landmarks
set down by the patriarchs of Presby-
terianism, and the result promises 10
be his formal accommodation from
the church Of Calvin and Knox. He was
virtually expelled last winter, when de-
prived Of his chair in the Union the
illogical seminary, and robbed OF his
livelihood as a professor of Biblical
theology. Dr.. Briggs has found, as
Polonius did before him, that ito ne
busy is some danger" especially when
he went upon the house tops to pro-
claim the result Of his Investigations
in scripturaI lore. He believed that he
was progressive, but is liable to find
that he was only heretical, which
terms, in the minds of great many,
are synonymous, or, as the financiers
say. convertible"

In the Record OF July II, last, Gescrip-
ton was given Of the very remarkable
specimens of neteOriC iron that Professor
G.. Z. FOOte OF this city was saving fer the
World exposition, il which diamonds hau
been discovered. Professor F'oOte. IN =

some Very interesting suggestions. Crater
