Keeping Them In Ignorance.

CHAUNcRY MITCHELL DEPEw In all inter-
view printed in the Tribune:
-Ths Fsrmsrs' Alliance since the determination At
Clnsinna to form into third party and christen It
with the new name OF The Peoples rarty, has bssn
rap y orRanizsd By Its leaders into close ana sscr Of
corporation. Tho leaders have enforced rigid rules
that the members Of the party shall read only its
papers and penalties imposed for taking those
which are either Republican or Democratic. know

combat ths hsreses Of tho Cincinnati platform and

Is this true. or has Mr.. DEPEw been mis-
informed The acceptance by large num-

the Sub-Treasury scheme would soem to In
dicate that many members Of the Farmers
Alliance are cut of from all knowledge Of
the destructive criticism OF that scheme.
The delegation which called upon Mr.. CAR
Isle during tho Cincinnati conference at
which the Peoples party was formed was
gravelled by few simple questions. and
showed an absolute ignorance OF oven the

Humanlty's Boom.

A Boston physician Of repute has staked
his professional reputation on the issue OF a
prediction that is Of momentous interest to
the human race. He says that we have en-
tered upon year that will break the record
for immigration: immigration not especially
to lands where plenty awaits the coming OF
n larger population from overcrowded re.
gions Of the earth but to every inhabited
part OF the globe from the unseen shores Of
eternity. In short, he says that this is
going to be the greatest baby year In the
history OF this joyous old planet.
This Boston herald of glad tidings does
not say on what he bases his remarkable
prediction whether on figures dug out OF
Scriptural chronology. on Indications got
from a reading OF the stars. or on calcula-
tions made from data to which he has early
and exceptional access; but he predicts with
a boldness that has almost the force of an
authoritative announcement. Let us hope
that tho figures. the stars, or the something,
have given him straight tip; that the
boom OF the human race is at hand, for this
Is truly case OF the more the merrter.
Let them come. these little immigrants
from heavenl Every rule for tho restriction
OF immigration shall be suspended In their
case. Thcy are helpless. but they all have
relatives In the places they arc bound for.
They have no generally visible means of
support but they have an unerring instinct
that will enable them to get there all the
same. According to the theology OF JOHN
CALVIN and JONATHAN EDWARDS. some of
them have such bad antecedents that they
were marked for damnation long before they

won't believe 1t. They all have within them
the germ and potency OF good achieve

and denounce. Like the Alliance orators and
lecturers, they depict In infamed and
rhetorical language the supposed grievances
OF the farmers. substitute the Imagination
for statistics, and try to excite popular
wrath against the money power" Is 1t the
aim OF the Alliance leaders to work upon the
ignorance as we'll as the self-interest OF the
farmers? Arc these leaders afraid to sub
ject their plans to the light OF free and open
dIscusson2 It seems Incredible that any
American citizen will blindly obey the
orders Of secret society and read
only what newspapers his political
directors recommend. The Alliance or
gans may be mado to prosper for
little while by such means, and the leaders
may be enabled to postpone the hour when
tho fallacies which they are now putting
forth as the last word In finance and politi-
cal economy will be detected by the men
whom they are now striving to dupe or
honestly misleading; buta movementwhich
relies upon ignorance for support and does
not allow believers In 1t to hear the argu-
ments against It must be singularly weak as
well rs silly.
The Farmers Alliance is too selfish
and too narrow in its purposes to become
permanent force In politics; IL 1t de-
ponds upon ignorance too. Its days will be
even shorter In the land It Is true that
the Peoples pnrty Is heterogeneous COM
blnation. but it's main strength. Its best
known leaders. and its newspaper organs
are OF tho Alliance. 1t is tho skeleton OF
party to which the Alliance is rolled upon to
furnish flesh and blood. II tho leaders OF
tho Peoples party are seeking to restrict the
reading OF its members to Its own organs
and publications. they are following the
example and carrying out the policy Of the
Alliance, a policy OF n class. to which. II Mr..
DEPEw Is correct. a solidarity Of opinion Is
to be given by excluding all other informa-
tlon than that authorized by the leaders. A
Peoples party composed OF people not al-
lowed to select their own newspapers will
be q sweet sight.

Regulars and Militia.

Tho military exercises performed In
Prospect Park tho other day suggest
tho facility with which Joint manpuvres
OF regulars and militia con be conducted In
many parts Of tho country, and especially
In the neighborhood OF New York. The
troops participating woro nine foot bat
tories OF tho First Artillery, Col. l.. l.. LANG
DoN's command; Capt. DrLLENBAcKs light
battery OF tho samc regiment; the Twenty
third Infantry Of Brooklyn; and Capt. RoE's
cavalry troop Of the First Brigade Of tho
National Guard. Tho batteries were those
which form the garrlsons Of Fort Hamil-
ton. Fort Wadsworth, and Fort Columbus
10 New York harbor; and their concentra-
tion at Prospect Park, like that Of Col.
PAKTR1DaE's regiment aud OF Troop A, for
an afternoons drill and review, was per-
fect1y natural.
That tho exercises wcre Of benefit to all
concerned, regulars as we'll as militia, there
can DO no doubt. There ls only one COM
pany Of regular infantry stationed near
Now York harbor. and no cavalry. But the
foot batteries In the Brooklyn manBuvres
acted as infantry and were brigaded with
the National Guard regiment, while the
II .ht artillery went through It's practice and
the addition OF the cavalry troop made tho
drill one Of all three arms. Although the
eham fight used to be carried TO excess by
making It too largely take the place OF
thorough armory and camp training. and by
giving place to its spectacular features
chiefly. vet 1t has It's uses In accustoming
citizen soldiery to the noise, excitement,
movements. and rush Of battle. II not to It's
actual dangers and losses.
But what Is particularly indicated is that
manouvres like those Of last week could be
carried out as easily with much larger
number OF the National Guard participating.
The whole Brooklyn command could reach
Prospect Park with little difficulty, while
similar exercises are possible for the New
York brigade at Van Cortlandt Park. In like
manner tho nearest Rhode Island militia
could take part in man9uvres with the
three foot batteries Of Col. JOHN MENDEN-
HALLS regiment at Fort Adams. Tho Dis
trct Of Columbia militia has the advantage
OF the presence Of five foot batteries and
light battery OF COL L. R. l.. L1vINasToN's
regiment at Washington Barracks, and
Major GUY V. HENRY's cavalry battalion
at Fort Myer.
In short, here and there all over the coun-
try there are opportunities for the regulars
and militia to conduct joint man9uvres,
giving the officers OF the former practice in
handling larger commands. and afrording
to the latter object lessons In tho way Of
evolutions by professional soldiers.

zen that 30 many as six ministers have pre-
ferred to be expelled from the Reformed Pres.
