VICTIMS OF FIRE.
Five Persons Suffoeated or Burned to Death
at Detroit.


DETROIT, Dec 2-TLe most distressing
loss of life by fire that has occurred in De-
troit since the burning of the Tilden school
couple of years ago took place about
o'clock this morning. Fire broke out in the
grocery store of George j. Reis. No. 342 Or
leans street. and, communicating to the
dwelling-ho overhead smothered to
death Reis and his wife and three sons,
Charles, aged twenty-five. and Josie and
Eddie. aged eleven and seven years re-
spectively. The last two were found in
their bed. and the older boy was discOv-
cred by the firemen upon the floor before
the window, as if he had realized the dan
ger and had attempted 10 make his escape
by that egress. The father and mother were
found locked in each others arms AT the
foot OF the stairs leading out into the yard.
They were burned TO n crisp while endeav-
0ring To reach the open air. Why they
took the rear stairs may never be known,
Tor if they had gone down by the front
way they would have undoubtedly been
saved As t was they rushed into a fiery
furnace, for the confiagration did most
damage where their bodies were found.
Two children, Max, aged fifteen, and Tony,
aged twelve. and girl whose name could
not be ascertained. escaped by jun ping ont
OF the windows into the arms OF the police
and tiremen. When first seen the ire was
issuing from the front windows upstairs.
but an examination OF the grocery showed
an overturned stove, which would indicate
that the hTe started IN the store.

Cold and DavidsO1 Seated
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 2.-Senator Call may
be left out In the cold. as a result of the
Senate's action toward Senator-elect Brice.
Call claims to be the regularly elected SEN
ato- from Florida, although the creden-
tials have been formally issued by the
State officers to eX-Congressman David
son. The latter is therefore in the same
position as Brice. Each presents prima-
facie case Of election on the face of the re-
turns from the Legislature and State Off
GERS. and Senator Sherman has already
conceded Brice's right. under the creden-
tials to be sworn in; and If the rule applies
to Brice's case it must apply 10 the Florida
contest. 1t is about certain. therefore that
Davidson will be received as q Senator
while Call will have to stand aside and
wait until his protests are passed upon.

Wheedling the Farmers.
E. E. EWING, Sect.

There is an old and rich and aris-
tocratic class of agricultural papers
in the East that have fallen in with
the plutocracy and when not directly
opposing the farmers movement for
reforming old abuses, they resort to
wheedling and tell him how bright
prospects are growing and promis.
ing for the future. The American
Agriculturist is conspicuous as one
of this class, and the following a
specimen brick from its pile. The
new whea. is looking promising and
FIT Il oks as though we should be
able to put our own price upon the

higher prices for everything the
farmer produces and immense bust.
ness for the railroads. When the
farmers aud railroads are both happy
at receiving good prices, prosperity
is insured for every industry
: Farmers and railroads is good |!
This is a fair specimen Of the taffy
this class of agricultural papers are
dishing out to the farmers. The
farmers should mark these wolves in
Sleeps clothing and send out pre-.
tests from every association against
their double dealing. They should

or the other. "Prices are jumping up
daily, but dealers and SPECTATORS
both home and abroad are buying
freely at the advance" continues
this cheerful agricultural paper. Not
q word is said about the process
these spectators employed to bear
down the price till all the crop was
out of the hands of the farmer, and
now he will be compelled to pay
double the price he got for his wheat,
for the -four he must buy. And the

rejoice the farmers to see it grow,
when it begins to turn yellow for

Talking of the patent medicines-you
know the old prejudice. And the doctors
some OF them are between you and u.s.
They would like you to think that what's
cured thousands won't cure you. You'd
believe in patent medicines if they didn't
profess to cure ersryihing-and so, between
the experiments of doctors, and the expert
ments of patent medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the stuff you
lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the prescription
that cures by what you read in the papers.
So. perhaps, there's no better way to sell a
remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doug just what it pro-
fesses 10 do. That's what the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.
Y. does with DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. If they don't do what their
makers say they II do--you get your money
back.

There will be $54 10000 of Al per

LoANING MONEY
On Land One Hundred and Fifty
Years Ago in Pennsylvania.


David Hume, the Scotch historian
who died in 1776, in letter to the
French economist, Andre Morelet.
written few years prior to his
death. says, regarding the issue of
paper currency to the people:
I'm our colony of Pennsylvania
the land itself. which is the chief
commodity, is coined and passes into
circulation. A planter Immediately
on purchasing land can go to public
Office and receive notes to the
amount of half the value of the land,
which he employs in all payments.
and they circulate through the COL
ony by convention. To prevent the
public being overwhelmed by this
representative money there are two
means employed: first, the note
issue by any one planter must not
exceed a certain amount, whatever
may be the value of the land; sec
ondly, every planter is obliged to
pay back into the public Office every
year o1e.tenth of his notes. The
whole is, of course. annihilated in
ten years, after which 1T is again
allowed him to take out new notes to
half the value of bis land"
This was the monetary system
under which the American colonists
prospered to such an extent that
Edmund Burke said ofthem: moth
ing in the history of the world is like
their progress"
This land loan referred to by
Hume is exactly the land loan policy
advocated by the Farmers Alliance.
The more the farmers ideas on gov
eminent and finance are examined
the more sound and sensible they
will appear and are supported by the
best presidents aud ablest minds in
