The Farmers Are Not "Apes."

Governor Humphrey says, that
'the trouble with the farmers is
that they want to ape the city peo-
people," Just what the governor
means by "city people," and "ape,"
does not appear; but it is presumed
that the governor thinks that Getty
people" have something, the pos
session of which, thefarmers desire,
but should not have, and at best,
they can only be imitators. There
are number of classes in cities
where the lines are as distinctly
drawn, as the line between rural
and city population. There is the
poor class, and the rich class, the
working class, and the idle; the
moral, and the immoral ; the refined
and cultured, and the coarse and ig-
norant. Aud so the question IS
sprung, what class of city people
do the farmers wish to "ape" from
the governors standpoint? 1t is
not the poor, the farmers have lots
of poverty not the idle, for no.
where is idleness less prevalent
than on the farm not the vicious,
depraved and ignorant, for the
Farmers Alliance is fighting for a
higher standard Of morals and intel
ligence; and so all along the line.
The farmers are not imitators.
Farmers and farm life are real. The
artificial is despised, and if the
farmer is dissatisfied, it is because
he has been imposed upon by as
heartless and unscrupulous set O.
knaves as ever cursed a long-suffer
ing people.

That Military Bill.

Senator Buchan charges the Peo-
ple's party members of the legisla-
ture, with "killing the military bill
because it was senate measure.
The Senator is, as usual, wholly
mistaken. The military bill was
killed in the house because it is
neither needed or wanted. The CIV
il power in Kansas is ample for the
government of her citizens. War
is not probable. The military is
not needed and it is not wanted,
except by few politicians who are
simply tools of the plutocrats. The
bill is also dangerous measure be-
cause it is in response to military
system devised by congress, and
that aims to build up, little by little,
a national standing army. Presi-
dent l1dTTlSOu III HlS ldoI diuudi
message commended this military
system, and recommended that it be
continued and enlarged. Under
this system the states defray four
fifths of the expenses. The general
government furnishes the arms and
equipments, and the states enroll,
organize, officer, maintain, and bear
all expenses incident thereto. The
system once fully inaugurated,
might become heavy burden in
the way of taxes; but that is not
all, for it is probable that it is a
deep laid scheme to crush the mass
es. Plutocracy will never stoI
short of complete subjugation of the
working people. The Jay Goulds

The Two Calves.

In sacred history we read that a
certain people made two golden
calves and set them up in extreme
parts of their country for the people
to serve. At this time, in this
country, we have a pair of golden
calves. One is a Republican calf
that is set up in the north. The
other is a Democratic calf that is
set up in the south. Apparently
the followers of these calves are at
great enmity. But let something
be dropped into politics like the
present independent movement OF
the masses, and the two "golden
calves: and their followers become
yoke fellows and paw up the dirt IN
concert, and declare that there shall
be no other political god in the
land. The Republican calf bellows
long and loud, that it's a movement
got up by the Democrat calf, to
starve the Republican calf, and vice
versa with the Democrat calf. But
the believing of the two calves is
simply put on, as one OF the
schemes of the two calves in trying
to down the Peoples movement.
You see they know very well that a
united Peoples party will drive
both calves out of pasture, but as
long as there are only two in it,
each one has a fighting chance for
the choice picking you see; hence
they below long and loud, all OF
which we like to hear, for it is said
that the more calf7s tail is twisted
the louder it bellows. SO just keeI
on twisting friends, we like to hea1
'em below, like the way Billie Blu
chan, the Republican calf manage
of Kansas, is doing now.

The sentiment of the country is
fast changing in favor of women
voting and enjoying at the ballot-box
all the rights enjoyed by men. And
why not? Why should women be
taxed and not allowed to vote?
Why ruled and punished by laws, in
the making of which they have no
voice? We say the thought is in
famous. Give women every right
enjoyed by men.-Living Issues.

"Of sixteen cases, - he says, ''of pulmonary
tuberculosis, one died, four were not i'm.

much improved, two recovered, even with
disappearance of local pulmonary changes. "
In his comments upon these cases DR.. jacob

of pulmonary tuberculosis viii consist in
