A Noble Gift.

Milton George, proprietor of the
Western Rural and founder of the
the Farmers Alliance in the north
west II years ago, has donated a 800
acre farm near Chicago, worth $780,.
600 for the purpose of an agricultu-
raj and manual training school for
boys. The building consist of the
necessary shops, school rooms and
buildings for boarding and lodging
the pupils. A chart of the grounds
and buildings presents beautiful
design in architecture and landscape
gardening. every thing is plain, but
in good tast, with no gorgeous dis
play and useless expense. The build
ings are two stories in hight.
The Western Rural and its self
sacrificing editor and wife who is not
to be overlooked have done noble
battle for the farmer and his cause
aad propose to make that work
permanent by supplying a means and
pointing the way to secure to the
farmers children what is being won
from the grasp of the class of greed
that preys upon the farmer.

The Alliance will Stav.

II think the Farmers Alliance
movement has come to stay" said
Judge j. B. futile. of Alpena, at the
Wayne Hotel. yesterday. Thereafter
politicians who leave it out of their
calculations are likely to be left out
of Office. I'm a Republican, but
| don't know why. The farmer will
find that protection doesn't protect
him. l look for great changes in
political issues during the next five
years, and it's time they came.
What we want is laws whica will
build up and maintain our rural
people in prosperity. They are the
nations strength and ought to be
the nations pride. Under existing
conditions it takes all they can raise
on their farms to support them, even
The most bountiful crops, and they
are not left sufficient to keep up the
richness of the soil. We may keep
out the pauper products Of Europe
by prohibitive tariff, but we invite
the paupers themselves here, and the
labor market is all the time glutted
The result is the standard of Amcri
can manhood is being constantly
lowered. This Is not so much from
the evils which are the natural out.
growth of poverty. The home mar
ket cry is simply fraud. When
crops are plenty the farmers get next
to nothing for their crops, and it is
only when they haven't anything to
sell that prices are good. Europe
fixes the prices of everything we
have to sell abroad, and / never
heard that the farmer got more in
America for his wheat than it was
worth in Liverpool. l think the
farmers are coming to understand
the state of their case pretty well,
and to see that If they expect any
help it must come from themselves.

Dehornlng.

Mr.. j. A. Roman, a former resi-
dent and dairy man of this ne;ghbor.
hood, renewing his subscription fer
the MIDLAND JOURNAL, says in his
letter:
II see the Cecil Farmers Club is
wrestling with the dehorning ques-
-tion. We are past all that. It is
not dangerous operation. / have
seen enough horns in one pile to fill
a hogshead, and not a mishap to q
single animal. 1t almost vexes me
to remember the old COW brutes, as
well as oxen, have had to guard
from goring other stock, when de.
borning was so simple and so safe
an operation. have q six year old
bullwhich was rogue and seemed
to feel he was lord and proprietor Of
the ranch. We dehorned him last
October, since when his meekness
makes me smile as I look on him
and think of now and then. Well
the world does move but the proof is
more in dehorning than in Cecil
county's vote on prohibition.
There it goes again. From the
rising to the setting of the sun the
disgrace Of last falls vote is coming
back with reproaches. Verify it is
written your sins will find you out.
The disgrace of that vote will haunt
the county till it is wiped out by the
next Legislature And no man goes
to Annapolis next winter unpleJged
to have that ubiquitous law torn
from the statute book. It was q
saakisb. sneaking trick by which the
prohibitory law was changed.

Another Party to Fight. -

The above is The gleeful expression
of the Voice, the national organ of
the Prohibition party, in one OF its
references to the Farmers Alliance.
This and many similar sneer's by
thaG paper appear to result from the
discovery tina. the Alliance refused
to accept the Prohibition party and
become an ally and subordinate part
of that party, subject to the dictation
and control of the Voice. How the
Voice expected an association out
numbering that party five to one to
go to il and seek admission, is diff.
cult to comprehend. And when the
Alliance found the Voice pledging
it's party to the gold monopoly aud
making its ignorance of the first
principles of finance most conspic
nous, becoming an echo of the money
trust in opposing the reconciliation
OF silver; to suppose that the Alliance
would affiliate politically with 3
party whose chief organ and high
priests denounce the leading prin-
ciple the Alliance is contending for
is ridiculous.
While the Voice trains with its
present plutocratic company there is
nothing suIer than that the Alliance
will court no party alliance With the
political organization it dictates the
policy Of. We risk nothing in say
ing that eight-tenths of the members
of the Alliance are out and out pro-
hibitionists, but they will never fol-
low the Voice through the gold ring
camp to reach that reform. And we
can assure the Voice that il will
never reach its object by that road.
The finance monopoly it is uphold
ing is the very breath of the nostrils
Of the whiskey ring mono poly. The
latter is kept to do the formers
work at the polls and in party
conventions.
In the issue of Jany. goth the
Voice mournfully signs, ''must go it
alone,' over published interview of
its correspondent with number of
the Alliance leaders in Washington.
They told the correspondent they
were not seeking union with any
of the political parties, and remind
ed the reporter that his paper was
pitching into the Alliance right and
left, and opposing the Leading prin-
ciple of the Alliance. While the
Voice cannot injure the Alliance or
prohibition, it is striking out bravely
to burst up its own party.
Ninety per cent of the Prohibition
party are members of the Alliance,
Ii that paper wishes to sink its parry
into ''innocuous disuetude" let it
keep on deriding the Farmers Al
lance and unfolding plutocratic
measures.

Election Of United States Senators
by Popular Ballot.


The matter Of electing United
States Senators by popular ballot
grows more popular the more the
subject is discussed. The Senate is
filled almost by millionaires and the
people are becoming jealous of their
rights being usurred by class sep
.arated from them by the influence of
money.
This would require q change in
the constitution and when the sub
ject comes up there is another change
that is likely to be made, which is a
change of the day of meeting Of
Congress from the 4th of March
next after the election, till the first
of January after the election. The
will of the people should be voiced
by their representatives in Congress
at as early day as possible Had
such been the law the present Con-
gress would not have existed to vex
the public ear after it was dead, as
it virtually has been the present ses-
sion. The President ought also to
take his seat on the first of January,
and the new administration start in
with the new Congress, and each
Congress have two whole years with
out the awkward arrangement of a
short and long session Such
change all round would be great
Improvement over the awkward
arrangement which was made, doubt
less, to suit the mode of travel in
those days.
