Discovery of a Socialist Clique in the
Order.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 3I.-The Star saws
it transpired during the recent State
meeting of the Farmers Alliance at War
rensburg that there was an organization
within the Alliance which believed in
force to gain its objects. 1t was the
knowledge of this force element that de-
teated the sub-treasury resolution, which
was champiOned by the force men prin-
cipally. Other delegates who favored it
voted against it because they desired to
defeat the force party. The latter had
torty-elght delegates in the convention.
and one of them told a reporter: "If the
minority will not do what the majority
will, it is high time for the majority to
hang the minority. If ballots won't do
the business bullets viii, and there are a
lot Of US pledged to go that far"
EX-President Hall, who asserts that
his life has been declared a forfeit in the
meetings of these people, is keenly alive
TO the situation. Before the meeting at
Pertle Springs he sent out letter, dated
August 18th, TO every delegate he could
trust, telling him the facts, and exhorting
hlm to be at the convention ready to
crush out the influence of these socialists,
as he calls them, in the Alliance. This
secret order calls itself fanti-mOnopolists.
Very few, ifany, farmers belong to it.
The Star says its strength lies mainly
IN the cities, and the farmers are its cat s.
paws to take its political chestnuts from

a Lesson in Lazy

The average American farmer certainly
knows how to look after his harvests, and
he has a keen wit that is hard to get over,
For example: Some days ago the con-
ductor of q freight train, who was out
with his train, saw Il couple of fine look
ing ducks on the river near the track
He had shotgun in the caboose car, and
stopping the train fer few minutes, he
got off and shot both of the birds. He
thought this was something to congrat-
ulate himself on, and when he reached
his home he invited little party of his
friends to partalle of the fruits of his
prowess. a couple of days after this the
conductor happened to be stopped at the
place where the ducks had been shot.
He got out his gun and walked down
to the river with the intention of hagging
Il couple more, if possible. He had
scarcely reached the edge of the river, be-
fore man, who looked like a farmer, ap-
