THEOCEAN In WINTER
Crossing the Atlantic Is no Fun
in Cold Weather.
HOW TRAVELLERS KILL TIME.
When the Decks Are Icy There Il Com
fort Below-Hardships of Occu-
pants Of the Steerage.

At about this time OF year the society
journals announce that everybody is home
again from Europe. This is true enough
of those who went over in the spring for
the warm season. The summer travellers
are all back by the time election comes on.
But there is another stream of travel whose
flow sets in when the leaves begin to fall.
People who go to Europe for the winter,
and who usually intend staying until after
the close of the London season in early
summer, sail in October and November
and December.
Then there is large bridal contingent
for the fall and early winter. The an
nouncement of a European honeymoon
always has an undeniable eclat Such an
nouncements are becoming increasingly
fashionable, though it is pretty generally
admitted that there is more distinction
than comfort about the undertaking.
An ocean trip in November or December
is, indeed, a rather chilly business. About
October reports of rough weather begin to
come in. These reports are not cheering
to people who are packing for the trip.
The stories OF last month were pictur-
esquely terrible. Late September and Oc-
tober this year happened to be particularly
notable for its Atlantic busters. Many of
the steamships came in battered. Seamen
and passengers had been knocked about a
good deal. Bulkheads were steven and
deckhouses damaged. November has been
less irascible, but the weather has been
getting colder, and the natural rigor of
the Atlantic winter has now set in.
Of course the transient class of travellers
is reinforced by the very considerable
number of travelers-commercial men.
artists, musicians and theatrical people,
government employees and 50 on. These
people take the affair very much for
granted and are to be watched by people
who are green at the business and do not
understand how to make ocean life toler-
able.
When one of these professional travellers
starts for Europe he or she gets out an out

It is proposed to frame in wax for this
exhibit some of the men who are notable
in the history of prison work. The famous
wardens of American and foreign prisons,
and the detectives who have helped 10 I'LL

east him into just such a cell as he sees
portrayed before him, would make him

that grizzly image standing with the rope

Among the more modern devices is

at nothing more disastrous to the prisoner

WIND PUDDING.

Edward Atkinson, whose peculiar
service to plutocracy seems to be to
instruct the industrial classes how to
live on wind in order that the wages
Of labor may be still further reduced,
and the profits Of invested capital
correspondingiy increased, is respon-
sible for the following gem Of crys-
talized wisdom:
A labOrer whose wife knows how TO choose
meat as we'll as to cook 1t, can live on 81 week,
much better than the average man fares,
though this would compel her TO buy the poorer
kinds OF beef. But for 30 a week the labOring
man can buy the bes always excepting canvas
back ducks and tenderlOln beef and that In

Yes, the Gazette plan OF letting each state
decide for itself how to get tS proportion Of Ave
thousand millions OF gTeenback currency into
circulation Is good deal better, because II rele
gates all differences Of opinion TO state decision
and enables the Peoples party TO act unltedly In
national campaign for more currency.-Em-
portd Daily Gazette.
Without stopping to discuss the
merits Of the Gazette'S plan, it sradi-
cally defective in respect to the most
important necessity for which the
sub-treasury plan most happily pro-
vides; and that is such hexibility as
will supply funds to handle the vast
agricultural products Of the year
without disturbing the volume Of cur
rency circulating regularly in the
various channels of trade. Il is only
q short time since the editor of the
Gazette stated in his editorial col
umns that he did not understand
this sub-treasury plan. We would
make the friendly suggestion that he
give it a thorough investigation; and
if he does this we predict that he will
change his mind. At all events it
does not look well for an editor Of a
reform paper to oppose a measure
that he confesses he does not fully
understand.

LOOK OUT FOR ANOTHER FORGERY.
It is announced that the discus
sion between Mrs. Lease and Mr..
Brumbsugh at OonCordis is to be
published. That city has been head
quarters for some Of the most notori-
ous forgeries that have been perpe-
trated by the Republican party Of
Kansas; and we predict that this will
be another of the same species. It is
emanating from the right source.
This has been field of enterprise
that has long been neglected. Re-
publican stenographers might, before
this, have been employed to put
words in the mouths of our speakers
that they never uttered, and the par
ty might have thus had the benefit (9)
Of many forgeries that they have
failed to give the people. This is a
rich field for Republican enterprise
of which the party has thus far failed
to avail itself.

SIGN YOUR NAMES.

A correspondent of West Union,
Adams county, Ohio, sends for copies
of The ADVOCATE and neglects to
sign his name. This is not an un-
frequent occurrence. People often
send money for subscriptions and fail
to sign their names. After a while
they write TO blow up the Office for
keeping the money and refusing to
send the paper, when the fault lies in
their own carelessness. People
should understand that if they send
in subscriptions and fail to receive
their papers there is some good rea-
son for it, and they should write and
find out what the reason ia.

HOLD ON TO THE WHEAT.

State Secretary French is receiv-
ing numerous letters from sub-Alli-
snces expressing determination Of
the members to hold their wheat for
better prices. In the meantime the
gamblers continue to sell at low

farmers quite generally act upon the
suggestion not to sell, it will be in
interesting after awhile to see these
fellows deliver what they have sold.

THE MUCH-TALKED-OF CIRCULAR.

The circular to farmers advising
them to hold their wheat for short
time in order to realize the benefit of
better prices has been received at this
office. 1t is simply an advisory cir
cular issued under the auspices Of
the Alliance Press Bureau of Infor-
nation at Washington, D. @. Its
distribution is being largely aided by
The State, an Alliance paper OF Min
nesota. The circular is quite lengthy
and we have not space for its publi-
cation. 1t presents reliable informs-
tion respecting the wheat product of
the season in various countries, and
very reasonably infers that the evi-
dent shortage will insure fair prices
for the surplus of the American
wheat-growlng states. 1t very sensi-
bly, recommends producers of wheat
to hold their crop for time in order
to realize the profits OF any advance
that may occur, rather than permit
the spectators and gamblers to rob
them as they have done heretofore.
We hope that farmers generally may
be able to avail themselves of the
promised advance. Our friends, the
enemy, claim that season of good
crops and fair prices will ruin the
prospects of the Alliance and the new
