GRAND HAVEN, Mich, April 1.-THE
entire government life saving service
for the eleventh district, which in
cludes Michigan, Illinois and Wiscon.
'sin, went into commission last night
1t had been reported from Washington
that tho crews would not be utilized until
ono month hence, owing to the fact that
the annual appropriation OF 5000, 600 is
nearly exhausted, but such storm of
protest was raised regarding what was
considered an attempt to impair the
efficiency of the service. that
orders were issued for the
crews OF all the life saving sta
tions of the district covering the entire
chain OF lakes to DO in readiness to
launch their boats last evening. At
many places, however, there is q scare
ity OF surfmen, great difficulty being
experienced in getting good men at the
pay liked by the government, $50 per
month, for so dangerous u service. A
large number OF applications for posi-
tons are on file at nearly all the sta
tions, but in the majority of cases they
come from men who have never had any
experience with boats o. in life saving,
and 1T Is thought that IL will be difficult
to secure the full complement OF ex-
perienced men.

must attend strictly to your farms and
keep out of politics; we will run that end
OF the business" It's the same old story,
"when the cat sleeps the mice play" While
the farmers were plOwing, seeding and
harvesting, the politicians have been
fixing up the laws by the use of their
Doodle and whisky, so they have become
richer and the farmer poorer.
In 1889 Kansas had the biggest corn
crop that was ever known, Here In Ed
wards county there was more corn
burned for fuel than is often raised in
osher years; and while the farmers were
burning their corn they were suffering
for the want Of other necessities OF life
because they could not sell the corn for
scarcely any price. The Santa Fe took
just one bushel to draw another bushel
to market. That Is the effect Of class
neutrality-suspicious. that helps to
build up one branch OF business at the
destruction OF another. Such legislation
comes about by sending bankers and
lawyers to represent the people in Con
gress and our state legislatures. They
worked for their own interest and then
sold their votes to the railroads and
other combines to aid them TO crush the
farmer and the worker class. But some
one says, "Who Is to blame" Why, the
farmers are, to certain extent. II they
had always voted In the past as they did
last fall, things would not have been
quite 30 bad. Our county heretofore
has sent doctors, lawyers and bankers TO
Topeka. Last year we sent hayseed,
who was man whose whole interest
was to serve the people and do their
business, not his own, and we see the
difference now. That was only an eye
opener to what the future will be.

Brown Is most enthusiastic over his In
ventiOn, and may we'll be, for it certainly

be expected of a cultivatOr. For full de-

small bundle Of mail the farmers used TO
carry home few years ago? A letter
from father or mother, business letter
and more or less dunning letters com
posed his weeks mail Now you see
him with his fist full OF papers and
pamphlets, together with letters, driving
eagerly home that he may have few
moments to read before retiring for the
night Thus the farmers are becoming
educated; they are posting themselves
on the affairs OF the day and keeping up
with the times; are learning through the
reform papers how the rascals have been
running the machinery OF the govern
ment, and are learning also that when
voting times comes the party bosses must
stand aside and the farmer will vote for
the best interest Of his wife and babies.
We have the best prospect for a crop
this fall we have had In a good many
years. Wheat, corn and oats are big and
promise large yield; there are also con-
siderable broomcOrn and castor beans
planted, Every effort is being made by
the farmers to get out of debt. We have
had an abundance of rain this spring
and the ground is In excellent condition.
A big harvest is at hand and scarcely no
help; but the farmers will help one an
other and the grain will all be taken care
of in good shape.
The Alliance here Is doing good
work, bringing the farmers closer TO-
gether, learning them to aid one another
in the conflict of life. We have pur-
chased library Of books for the use of
our members, exchange our papers and
are doing oil we can to educate one an
other.
Now Mr.. Editor, if this escapes the
waste basket, perhaps you will hear from
US again. Success to the Peoples party;
we shall surely win IN '02.

A New Cultivator.

S. r. Brown, Of Pittsburgh, Kansas, is
the inventor of two-row, Ghree-h horse
cultivatOr, an illustration of which is
given in these pages. In company with
j. B. French, state secretary Of the Alli-
ance, and Mr.. Soule, of the Kansas
Farmer, member of THE ADVOCATE
Publishing Company recently witnessed
the cultivator at work. After viewing
the perfect manner in which it did the
business, the unanimous verdict was
that the cultivator was q complete sue
cess. The machine Is especially adapted
to large fields, and will prove a great
labor saver as we'll as much facilitate
speed In cultivating corn, cotton, potatoes,
etc. It would be almost worth It's weight
In gold to our farmers this season in cul
tivating corn between showers.
The cut shown on this page will give
some idea Of its general construction,
but faint understanding of its finer
mechanism in detail. 1t is easily con-
trolled, well balanced, and the draught
most ingenously constructed upon prin-
ciple which makes the exertion of the
team astoniShingly easy.
This machine will cultivate equally as
many acres In given time as two single
row machines, and therefore make saw
ing Of one cultivator, a man and his
board, and q horse and his feed-no
small items in cheapenIng the cost Of
production.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS in EDWARDS
NnTTNmV

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE
At a regular meeting Of the Wayne
Township Alliance No. 1871 we adopted,
by unanimous vote, the platform and
resolutions as they were adopted at lhe
convention at Cincinnati. We believe
they expressed the wants Of our people.
We believe here in this "neck of the
woods" that there are only two ways out
Of the trouble that the old parties have
brought us into, viz, to stand shoulder
to shoulder in the fight and to educate
the people. Spread the reform papers
broadcast among the farmers and work
ingmen; let them know just how deep
the mud is, and the way out, and there
will be few who will 60 on, but will make
q break for more solid land, and help to
fight the trusts and combines.

mighty republic, and be further aided to
Judge intelligently which political party is
most worthy of their support.
And now, as q fitting closing tribute to
John Sherman, the greatest of American
flnanciers, our beautiful Republican
Flower Of an author says:
In March, 1869, when the act to strengthen
the public Credid was passed, providing,
"That the faith of the
United States is solemnly pledged to the
payment in coin or its equivalent of all the
the obligations of the United States not
bearing interest, known as United States
notes, and the United
States also solemnly pledges its faith to
make provision at the earliest practicable
period for the redemption of the United
States notes in coin, only one Democrat in
the house and not one in the Senate voted
for it. This pledge was intended TO make
the greenback dollar as good as Che coin
dollar. The Democrats couldn't take into
their stomachs any measure that would be
so highly beneficial TO the business and
commerce of the country and such boon
to the laboring classes, and therefore voted
solidly with the exception of Samuel B.
Axtell, of California, now a Republican,
against it.
Now be 1t remembered that this emil
nent Republican historian, Frank A.
Flower, declares of this work:
This history Of the Republican party con-
tains nothing not known or believed to be
true-it is essentially historical.
And thus, by his cheerful and willing
testimony, that Ohio qusrtette of Repub-
lican statesmen-John Sherman, Charles
Foster, William Mckinley, jr., and Joseph
B. Foraker-deserve the fate of being
relegated to hopeless political oblivion
through the ballots Of the gallant Buck
eyes In 1891, even as the true Kansans
shelved Ingalls,, Perkins, ct al, at the
polls In November, 1890. SO mote it be-.

''The gates of the Hindoo Pantheon
are never shut" Sir John Strachey has
finely observed. The truth of the re.
mark is likely to receive a curious illus
tration in the results of the census in
the Northwest provinces and Dude. A
novelty of the census was a separate
classification for the various sects OF
Hindoos and Mahometans. Sect, how
ever, implies a definite religious creed,
with distinctive tenets, from which a
limited number of schismatics have di.
verged; but so far as Hindooism is
concerned, at all events, we have no
such creed, and if we are to apply the
term sect to the heterogeneous groups
of worshipers who call themselves Hin
docs we must materially modify its
ordinary signifieation.
As matter of fact, the census emu
merators found that the ordinary Hin
doc did not know what was meant
when he was asked what his sect was.
All he could say was the particular god
he worshiped. The consequence is
that the census papers are crowded
with vast number of tribal and local
gods and deities, many of which have
never been heard of before, and will
In all probability never be heard of
again. Pioneer.

The Atlas Mountain Dwarss.

AS much controversy seems to rage
around Mr.. Halliburton's dwarfs, al
legged to be concealed in the Atlas
mountains, as was waged thirty years
ago about NJ. du Chaillu's gorillas.
Mr.. Meakin, a traveller in Morocco, en-
tirely repudiated the theory before the
congress of orientalists. He knew there
were families of dwarfs, but denied
that there was a nation Mr.. Hallibur-
ton, with equal emphasis, repeated his
assertions, but he admitted that the
dwarfs were hard to find A man might
travel in the country for 100 years-if
he lived long enOugh-and never see
them, so jealously were they guarded
by the MoOrs. Even the emperor of
Morocco could not search for them
without risking his life.
Why was all this secrecy not ex-
planned; and the assailant of the legend
undertook to prove, by similar evil
dence, the existence of a race of dwarfs
in Camden town. DR.. Leitner poured
oil on the waters by observing that, at
any rate, there were a good many of
the small races in Africa. For the pres
ent the world can wait in patience until
more is known of these mysterious
little creatures beyond the atlas range
