The more thoughtful and conservative
of the Alliance leaders do not encourage
the movement now drawing to focus
to inaugurate a third party in national
politics, but rather regard it as ill-ad-
vised and untimely. Several in differ
ent portions of the country have recently
expressed themselves very plainly on
the subject. The last one of prominence
quoted is the president of the Indiana
State Alliance. He declares that the
Alliance can never become third party
and maintain its organization. The Gin
cinnati convention can only be a con-
vention of independent voters. One of
the first principles of the order is to
labor for the education of the masses in
a strictly non-partisan spirit. The Kan
sas Alliance is apparently the only one
which is seriously insisting on the for
nation of a new party, and even its
leaders, like PETER and Simpson, are be-
ginning to doubt the propriety of such a
movement.

The action of the Northwestern Rail-
road company in disoharging all the
switchmen on the system day or two
ago was like taking time by the forelock.
1t was ascertained that the switchmen
were connecting some sort of scheme
to put the company in hole, SO to
speak, and the company hedged on them
by letting them out at once. The road
officials say the company's business has
not been interfered with SO far in the
least. 1t is hoped that the present little
bout will not develop into a conflict of
the proportions, nor be drawn out to the
length of the great strike on that system
a year or more ago.

A writer in the Topeka Capital figures
out that it costs fifty-seven cents bushel
to raise wheat in the eastern belt of the
state; fifty cents in the middle belt and
forty-nine cents in the western belt.
These calculations are based upon the
late census statistics. It takes the aver
age crop for the last ten years, or fifteen
bushels per acre, as the basis. Taking
one year with another, according TO
these estimates, wheat Is not very prof
liable crop, but if the present price is
maintained and present prospects for
big crop hold out until the harvest, there
is handsome profit in the crop this
year

The checklist thing that has come to
disturb our serenity of late. is a marked
copy of the Emporia Republican, with
request to repuolish thirteen columns of
SUNDAY school convention proceedings,
coupled with the suggestion that we
would be comforting a favor on our
readers. The EAGLES readers are very
largely enthusiastic Sunday school sun
porters, but they are not a Sunday school
people to the extent of thirteen columns
oficonvention proceedings insthe Sunday
mornings issue to the exclusion Of the
base ball and other base reports. The
Republican is real nice Sunday school
paper, published in a good Sunday school
town, bun really it must excuse us from
a further reference TO its thirteen col
vmns of Sunday school report.

It is reported that Lieutenant Governor
Majors, of Nebraska, will not file inter-
vention papers in the Boyd-Thayer con-
test, as at first intended by him, as his
attorneys have been assured that such a
course is unnecessary. They claim that
when the supreme court settles the mat
ter concerning the citizenship of Boyd,
it will also decide, in case Boyd is GUST
ed, whether Thayer or Majors is chief ex-
ecutive. Therefore Majors has with
drawn the papers, although they were
all ready for filing.

a short time ago it was announced in
the public prints that the humane society
had inaugurated a war upon the over
head check rein. This is to be followed
by another crusade against the practice
of docking" horses tails. The latter is
as cruel to the dumb brute as the former,
and as it is practiced for the same pur-
pose, i. e. to make the animal show style,
regardless of its actual qualities, it ought
to be suppressed. There are plenty of
stylish horses and those who want to
make show ought to secure that kind
and not make it on forced put, as
great many do. If they can't afford it
on account of the expense it is not the
fault of the poor cheap brute that is
rugged into torture, and it ought to be
protected.

SHIFTLESS FARMING.

From the Globe Democrat.
The report of an investigation Just
made by the Kansas state board Is very
instructive and suggestive in the way of
showing why so many farmers become
victims of misfortune and discredit their
business by proclauing 1t to be one that
does not yield Just and fair returns. IL
appears that thirty wheat fields in one
county were visited. and in every III
stance ii was found that the grain had
been soEn on wheat or corn stubble,
without any previous blowing or other
preparation of the soil. The same fact
was disclosed by the inspection IN other
counties; and it may be taken for
granted that a majority of the farmers
OF the state followed that superficial and
shiftless practice II their last falls
planting. They were too busy, IN other
words. with the affairs Of the Alliance to
give proper attention TO things OF prac-
teal and vital importance. Instead
OF blowing and narrowing IN a diligent
and sensible way, they sowed their
wheat IN haste and folly, and
devoted most OF their time To
politics. They succeeded in elect
ing legislature. several congressman
and senator by neslectins Their farms;
and as a result, their wheat crop wall be

The point in the foregoing, from the

gathered into the camp and it was evident
that the question of supplying the camp and
the interests of contractors had become para
mount to the reinforcement of the army. 1
teiegraphed Lincoln that 1 would see him in
Washington that night, and hurried on to
correct the evil by personal conference with
him. The case was very simple one, and
he readily took in the situation. He knew
that had labored day and night for two
months without compensation or the expec-
tation of it, to hasten the Pennsylvania
troops to the aid OF our soldiers in the field,
and l said to him that if he would send
mastering officers to organize them promptly,
1 would return and finish the work; if not,
I would abandon it and go home.
Lincoln was greatly panied at the devel-
opment, but he understood that change of
military officers at Harrisburg, such as this
occasion seemed to demand, would involve
serious political complications. He was of
all things most desirous to strengthen our
shattered armies, and it was evident very
soon that he meant to do SO in some way,
but without offense to the political power
that controlled the military assignments at
Harrisburg. Without intimating his solu-
tion of the problem, he rang his bell and in
structed his messenger to bring Adjutant
General Thomas to the Executive Chamber.
Soon after the Adjutant General appeared
and Lincoln sold: General, what is the mill
