THE Nashville (Tenn.) Toiler con-
tains the following paragraphs that
are pointed and valuable, and some
of them will be of special interest to
the reading people of Kansas:
1t IL only matter Of time when the great
mass, the rank and file of American citizens,
will rise and in one voice demand the diSarming
Of plutOcracy. The tide of reform has set in and
1t may be temporarily diverted, but permanently
impeded, never.
Bold, fearless, determined leaders are needed
at the front now In the Farmers Alliance to
meet and Withstand the assaults of the subsl-
died press, aud to meet the enemy on the
hustiDgs. There never was period in the his
tory Of the order when such a united effort was
made to create dlSsenslOn In our ranks by false
hood and ridicule; but thanks to the courage,
manhood and fidelity to principle shown by the
rank and file of our order. They are standing
by their chosen leaders, and the faIsehoOd and
abuse only uniteS them closer together in bonds
Of union.
Thirty years ago this country knew slavery
absolute in name. To-day we know a system
more extensive In Its application and as absolute
in It's nature. A mortgaged debt is but the
forged chains Of serfdom. A life spent In the
service OF others Is not the kind Of life antici-
pated by our fathers.
It is fight for the eternal principles of truth,
life, liberty and the rights to an equal chance in
the financial battles of life or surrender and be
q slave.
Kansas did not go to the devil; q part Of 1t
went, though, to the, Demo Republican, barracks,
But even that does not weaken the determina-
tiOn Of true Alllancemen.
One Of the strange anomalies Is the rejoicing
OF the Democratic press Of the south over the
fact that Kansas Republicans succeeded in elect
ing q few circuit judges.

not discharge him, lest he might take
it into his head to disclose certain
facts with which he is cognizsnt re-
lsting to the connection Of this same
governor and the Republican state
central committee to the Coffeyyille
dynamite explosion of 1888. We re-
peat this administration dare not dis
chGrge him.
Then, again, it requires gall to
claim q Republican victory in the re-
cent election; and still more gall to
claim that the result of the election
is owing to the falling off of the Peo-
ple's party vote. The official figures
published in The ADVOCATE show an
absolute gain in this vote as COM
pared with the vote for governor last
year, and they show the result to be
alone attributable to the combina-
tion Of the two old parties against us.
The base attempt to deceive the
people with respect to the vote of
Kansas, like all former attempts at
deception, will recoil upon the party
that persistently practices such
methods.
The advocate., 1891-12-02

If the Kansas Alliance is as deiunct as the
Topeka Capital claims, what sense is there In
that journals keeping up It's TRADE Of abuse
against 1t? Isn't that old gall bladder emptled
yet?-AtchiSOn Champion.
The Capital knows as well as the
Champion does that all its blow and
bluster about the disintegrstion of
the Alliance is pure rot, and as mis-
representation and abuse are the only
weapons that journal is capable of
welding, tie Champion may not
hope to witness a cessation of it
When 'thst old gall bladder" is emp
tied there will be nothing left.

THE ANARCHIST CROWD.

Webb McNall has been exhibiting
his lack of sense and general in
formation, and his gall as well, in a
recent talk which appears in the
Kansas City Journal of November %.
He talks about the anarchist crowd
getting control Of the State Alliance
and defeating McGrsth, and sttri-
butes the Republican victory % to
the fact that McGrath influenced the
old soldiers to vote this year with the
Republican party. As we have many
times before observed, it requires an
immense amount of gall to qualify a
member of the Republican party Of
Kansas to pirate SO persisteRtly about
anarchy when the only live anarchist
in the state holds an important ap-
pointment under the present state
administration, and the governord0re

1T IS NOT WORTH THE SPACE Or THE
EFFORT.

EFFORT.
II would be the greatest folly fol
The ADVOCATE or any other of the re-
form papers to use much of Their
valuable space in the attempt to keeI
pace with the Capital and others o.
it's ilk in refuting the falsehoods daily
spread before the people. For weeks
prior to the election we were re-
pestedly told that the Alliance and
the Peoples party were disintegrat-
ing, and that the result Of the cleo
ton would show this to be a fact. In
pursuance Of the policy previously
mapped out, the Capital, the morn
ing after election, and before any
thing was known of the result, pub
lished and sent over the wires the
announcement that the Peoples par
ty had met its Waterloo. The official
returns give the lie to this announce
ment
The proceedings of the meeting OF
the State Alliance at Salins was mis-
represented and lied about by re-
porters sent there for that purpose.
They did just the kind of work they
were sent there to perform. Rows
and dissention were heralded to the
world that had no existence except in
the newspapers. The same course
was pursued at Indianapolis. The
same kind Of rows and dissentions
were proclaimed. The little duet of
Hall and McAllister is announced
with many bugle blast as great and
disastrous split in the organization,
Notwithstanding McAllister has been
expelled from the Alliance of his own
state for conduct unbecoming an AL
lance man.
So in all things pertaining to the
order and to the Peoples party; it is
always safe to accept the exact oppo-
site of whatever is said Of them by
the opposition press as the truth.
These things have come to be SO well
understood that it is no longer re-
quired to devote the space to them
that was formerly necessary. The
work of the hour is one of education,
and to this our time and space will be
principally devoted. The misrepre-
sentations and falsehoods of the enc
my are of SO extravagant a character
as to react upon their authors, and
they require little attention from us.
In the interest of the present, and to
insure future success, let us each accept
our individual duties and RESPONSE
bilities, and move forward in a solid
body in our educational work.

THE OSTRICH HIDING ITS HEAD IN THE
SAND.

ticulsrly unfortunate in having a set
of editorial writer's who seemed not
to know their right hand from their
left, the feeble remnant Of the once
powerful Republican party Of Kan
sas furnishes the strong object lesson
in that specific line.
This party, weaker by $4,000 votes
than it was three years ago in the
Sunfower state, and Peoples party
confronting it with upwards Of 49,
600 recorded votes in 1891--this poor
old going-out Republican party is
presumptuous enough, in its confess
edly dying day, to volunteer gratiu-
tous and stupid advice to the political
party of the near future.
The Capital which is nothing il
not incomprehensive, having stuck it's
putrid head in sand, like a coarse
chump, invites a vigorous attack from
the party it so industriously maligns,
but the poor object is so small "the
game is hardly worth the candle"
In an elaborate editorial on "Conf-
dental advice to the managers Of the
Kansas Alliance party" that reveals
the political fossil over and through
it, it appears to think that it has hit q
shining mark in this grave declars-
tion: "Even Hebbsrd fails to figure
out victory for you"
Now, it may in all candor and good
fellowship, and with an equanimity
of mind, be stated, as a matter of
general information to the Republi-
can press generally-were such infor-
nation necessary-be said that
"Hebbsrd" did not make a figure"
with reference to declaring "s victory
for" any person, party or class. He
does not believe that election returns
should be distorted in any interest
whatever.
But, he deemed himself able to
make the impartial discovery that
while the Democratic per cent. of the
popular vote of the state in 1891 was
3 per cent less than in 1890, the Re-
publican vote was Ia per cent. great
or, while the Peoples party vote was
1.6 per cent. greater in 1891 than it
was in 1890.
At this junCtuse it may be fairly
submitted that this makes no show
ing against the Peoples party, but
rather against the Democratic and
Republican parties in a comparative
way Of speaking.
In Atchison county the vote of the
Republicans and Democrats, taken in
the aggregate is 2,7O1 less in 1891
than il was in 1883, and the Peoples
party in that county has recorded
vote of 1887.
In Wyandotte county the combined
Democrat and Republican vote is
3,779 less than it was in 1888; the
Peoples party vote is 1887.
In Cowley county the combined

Serious Result of q Dimculty Between
Brothers-in-Law.
Several years ago Gordon c. Ashton married
Charles Gamers sister and as q result of their
union three children have been born. Their
home is at No. 1s45 9Th street northwest. but
fr ON what happened last evening their home
has not been q pleasant one recently. Ashton
is painter by trade and Garner has been
boarding at his house. Garner thought he had
reason to believe that Ashton was not doing
exactly the right thing about bis sister and
told him so. Ashton, who it is stated had
packed his clothing preparatory to leaving the
house, did not care to be called to account by
his brother-in-law and q quarrel was the result.
The men finally clinched, and on the parking
in front OF the house they attempted to settle
the family differences by blows, and when the
trouble was over Garner discovered that he had
been stabbed in the back, where there were
four ugly wounds.
Policeman Lynch appeared on the scene after
the fight was over. and he took the injured man
home. where he was attended by DR.. D. C.
Stockstill, who found that the injuries were of
q serious nature.
From the nature Of the wounds II is evident
that Garner Was in q STOPPING position when
they were inflicted, and that was all that saved
his life.
Ashton left the house after the fight was over,
and Officer Lynch followed him to his
mothers house, No. 932 K street. where he
arrested him.
The prisoner admitted that he had been in
the fight, but he denied that he did the stab
bling.
He was locked up on a charge Of assault and
battery with intent to kill, but the case could
not be tried today on account of the serious
condition of Mr.. Garner.
