To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Linn County Alliance advocates the
establishing of q newspaper to be run
and controlled by the state Alliance ex-
ecutlve board, in the interest Of the ALI
ance.
Without discussing the expense, the
management, the responsibility, and the
success Of such an undertaking, will
ask, is there really any need for 1t, and
would it be more loyal, true, and run
more impartially in the interest of the
working classes and for the success Of
our principlesH Who will guarantee
that those who may have the control Of
a state Alliance newspaper shall always
act impsrtlally, unbiased and without
prejudiceE
Human nature is very much the same
the world over. Men have their own pc
culiar characteristics, their dislikes and
their preferences; hence, who will or can
satisfy the Alliance members that state
Alliance newspaper would not be run
just as much In the interest Of lndivid-
uals as any other paper In the stateS No
man or party is perfect. / think our
state newspapers are far ahead of the old
party papers, both in purity and ability.
Let US give them all the patronage and
assistance we can and that will tend to
still make them better. I am satisfied
with THE ADVOCATE. Please find en-
closed 81 for renewal. Yours respect
fully, JOHN d. COOPER.

InRersOlI ON California.

In recent magazine article, Mr.. En-
nest IngerSoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt. Its
equability is constant, and It's drynesS is
proverbial. The only complaint made h,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and them
that rousing storm would give them Q
grateful sensation. But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from SuperAuity Of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the invalid
dreading the advance Of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath Of life.
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast Is via Santa Fe Route.

THE GLORIOUS PEOPLES PARTY.
To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.

To the Editor or THE ADVOCATE.
Allow me through your columns to
congratulate the Kansas delegation for
their unfllnching stand in favor Of what
is to be the great first party In 1892. The
independent action Of our people has
been honored by thirty-four states and
territories. They have laid down their
prejudices and come together on common
grounds to dethrone . common enemy.
/ believe that nine-tenths Of our people
In Kansas are rejoicing in the hope that
the dawn of a new era Is at hand.
When the word flashed across the con-
tinent that new party was formed and
it's name was the Peoples party, many .
brave heart took courage. The spark Of
hope that yet remained was kindled into
q burning fame, and with one accord they
have exclaimed "God save the nation"
The voice Of the people Is the voice Of
God. Let he who objects take warning,
for the mighty tramp Of the countless
millions can be heard coming from the
farm and workshop, the factory and mill.
As the sound OF distant thunder foretells
the fast approaching storm, 80 this great
uprising Of the people foretells the great
cyclone of public sentiment that is about
to sweep the nation. The Cincinnati
convention has cast CONSERVATION and
dismay In the ranks of the enemy, and
before the end shall come they will cry
for the rocks and hills Of political disap-
pointment to fall upon them and hide
them from the face Of the people forever.
The hardy hand Of toll Is the nations
preserver in time Of peace, and the ma
tion's defender in time Of war; They ask
for only justice-will be satisfied with
nothing less. We therefore pledge our
time, our talent, our all TO the cause Of
emancipation and success Of reform.
Yours In the work, 8. M. SCOTT.

Alliance are we'll within these two par
ties at present and show no disposition
to leave. Neither do they call attention
TO the fact that by adhering to these par
ties the members Of the Alliance are
fighting against each other.
Now, the majority of American citi-
zens, l verify believe, would choose TO
vote for just and honest measures, and
for true and patriotic men for legislators
and office holders. But the friends OF
any measure are taken at q disadvantage
If their members are divided between
two or more opposing parties. The Of
feet Of riches or the love Of political pre-
ferment Is to blind the mind against the
demands Of justice and to sacrifice truth
to selashness and ambition, and the men
whose aims are thus perverted are al
ways unsafe co-workers in political
party, for they will not spare any means,
however deceptive and corrupt, to mis-
lead the unwary and honest voter.
The only certain means then by which
the advocates OF correct principles can
secure their enactment into law, is to
concentrate their votes In their support.
The essential differences between
adopting new principles by an existing
permanent political party, and basing the
political action on those principles, is
that while the one only adopts the prin-
clpleS as a means Of party success, the
other makes the success Of these prlnci-
Piles it's whole political aim.
1t seems to me that the only way In
which popular government can ever
maintain purity, and support successfully
free institutions, Is for those who really
desire the welfare Of our whole people to
select such q code Of principles as ls alb
solutely necessary for national prosperity
and happiness, and then to array all
the friends Of those principles In their
support.
This, in my judgment, should be the
plan adopted by the Alliance and other
industrial and reform organizations.
Let the friends of equal rights through
out this whole country arise in their
might, wisely concentrate their strength
and press right on earnestly and consist
emily, and our beloved country viii be
delivered from oppression and It's liber-
ties be perpetuated to the end Of time.--

ALLIANCR DUTIES.

The Democratic and Republican par
ties ct the present time vie with each
other in exhorting members Of the ALI
ance to remain In their respective par
ties, and in assurances that sucRis the
most feasible plan for achieving success
for their principles.
But in 80 doing they seem TO forget, or
conceal the fact that the enemies Of the

for the extortioners, and when the COM
mission appointed to purchase the land
met the property owners the other day
the commission found to its disgust that
the prices asked aggregated about $6,0OO,-
900, instead of $1,2OO,OOO. That is per
fectly Characteristic of Washington, and
the apparent swindls should never be
permitted.
It Is by stoutly resisting all such
schemes as this that the Kansas Alliance
delegation in the present Congress can
confer great public benefit. They can
with propriety urge the repeal Of the
law authorizing this expensive park,
which is not needed at all, and endeavor
to have the governments share of the
money probably at least $1,OOO,0O0-
used for promoting irrigation in western
Kansas and Nebraska and in Colorado.
Surely the farmers In those sections need
that more than the pampered inhabitants
Of Washington do their additional park.
Besides if an appropriation Of the peo-
ple'S money for pleasure ground Is con-
stitutioDsl, certainly It would be for irri-
eating purposes or for the sub-treasury
relief measure.
These are simply instances which go
to show the kind Of people, as rule,
there are In the national capital. They
seem to take no interest In the city any
further than it Is possible to make some
thing out Of the government. And how
can representative seat Of national gov
eminent ever be made out of such ma
terial? It cannot be done. There is not
enough intelligence and enterprise here
to do 1t from our point of view. And are
we to 20 on nurturing into life, at public
expense, and In this seemingly barren
and ill-suitod locality national capital
which is now generally conceded to be
about five years behind the times In
nearly every respect? Are the four OF
FIVE million farmers Of the west under
any obligation to assist in maintaining q
pleasure resort or show city-for that
ls about all Washington is-for the bene-
fit Of eastern capitalists, who, in their
hours Of recreation here, especially when
Congress is in session, do not fail to do
all they can to undermine the farmers
interests? Really every consideration Of
public policy seems to require that the
national capital should be moved from
such locality as this and be placed in
the west, where 1t will more truly repre-
sent the nation. and be a source of pride,
rather than of modification, as 1t now is
to considerable extent. KANSAS.

SOMETHING MORE CONCERNING THE CITY
OF WASHINGTON.


pared with other cities Of its size, that
persons often wonder how the majority
of its inhabitants not employed In the
government service manage to make a
living. Washington residents, and par
tlcularly Its property holders, are, how
ever, keenly alive to bargain, and con-
sidering as they seem to do, that the
nation should pay well for the privilege
of having the national capital located in
this city, they are not in the least scrupu-
lous about prices when the government
contemplates q purchase, especially OF
land, here.
The city is having two striking in
stances of this fact just now, and if the
schemes projected are not carried out
before Congress convenes in December
next, there will be an opportunity for
Senator PETER and Congressman Simp-
SON to offer some bills in the Senate and
House for the purpose Of saving the
people of the country from imposition
and plunder to the extent of possibly $2;-
100000, and at the same time make q very
good record for themselves az national
economists.
It is natural for persons who know
little about Washington to suppose that,
like Topeka, this city has building
erected by the government, for city
postofice, but 1t has not. For ten or
fifteen years fruitlesS efforts have been
made to get one, and in the meantime an
old hotel has been rented and used for the
purpose. Exorbitant prices for ground,
the inability Of Congress to determine
upon q site, and real estate rings have
caused the delay. Finally last summer,
Congress designated q site, generally con-
sidered unfit for the purpose, and specified
the amount to be paid for It. The prop
erty owners in this particular square al
most Immediately trebled the prices Of
the lots,l regarding the government as
legitimate prey. The commission Ap-
pointed for the purchase of the property
has so far been unable to obtain reason
abl terms, even by condemnation, and
the probability is 1t never will, as 1t seems
to be the case here that very large num-
Der Of the citizens substantially expect
the people of the United States, by liberal
congressional appropriations, to support
them.
There Is probably no other city in the
country where the greed and avarice Of
its residents is SO clearly evident as In
Washington. Almost every visitor who
has not friends here, becomes satisfied Of
this, and unfortunately the extortionate
practices of It's citizens are not diminish
ing very rapidly.
And now for another instance Of this
svaricious spirit. Every visitor to Wash
ington admires the many parks scattered
through the city which are the property
Of the government, and have never cost
the citizens dime. The Soldiers Home
park, which is very extensive and beau
tiful, has also not cost the people of the
city anything, but they use it without ex-
pense for driving and recreation, while
every soldier in the regular army is taxed
to assist In keeping 1t up. All this is in
strict harmony with the picayune meth

atives being destroyed. The families
had moved and his letters did not react
their proper destination. Likewise Mr.
Sidney had moved, and the letters sent
by his family failed to reach him. Three
