NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
How Washington viii Be Prepared to Welcome
the Veterans.
WAsH1NGToN, July 90. 18g

WASHINGTON, july ~ 1871.
FpTTOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Referring to
your publication Of last week of an exagger-
ated communication from Lincoln, Neb., set
ting forth that city's claims for entertaining
the National Encampme=t, Grand Army Of the
Republic, in 1892 feel that such misleading
statements, if met with silence may cause un-
informed persons regret hereafter; therefore
kindly accept a correction.
The first claim is that of lying as it (LincOln)
does i'm the center of 100000 Of the boys. Now,
what are the facts? Scarcely $4,000 veterans
belong to the Grand Army Of the Republic
west Of the Missouri River, against 10000 east
Of il. and more than thrce-quarters of the
whole number Of the organization are located
east Of the Mississippi River, and one-half of
the whole membership east Of the eastern In
diana line.
The next claim is equally preposterous, !. e.,
nominal cost Of entertainment. The writer.
while in Lincoln a few weeks ago, saw no nom
inal cost in hotel charges. and there is no pos
sibiity to think that Lincoln, Ncb., could, wi tn
the best Of weather, in any way or any man
ner. even with the crudest methods, entertain
100000 persons.
There is no argument 20 meet practically
but it takes very little figuring to establish the
fact that, with the same attendance in num-
hers, both Washington, ID. G., and Lin
coin, Neb--it would cost 100 per cent. more in
transportation and meals en- route.
Ii Is a well-knOwn fact that Washington, ID.
O., is one of the cheapest cities in this country
10 live in, and with every facility to accommO-
date half q million visitors, if neeessary.-W.

a committee Of Bishops, which demanded his
removal. It was no fault Of his that the rela-

opinion that a United States Senator should
not be the head Of a political committee, and
besides, his health Is SO delicate that he desires
TO get rid OF the immense amount Of detail
work connected with the position. Even in
the dullest times between elections he receives
an average Of 100 letters day, which he has to

senator Quay again tried TO resign, but was de-

The Condition. that Confronts Us.

The Wichita Eagle says: THE
matter of freight rates is subject
that should be seriously considered by
every citizen of Kansas, be he whole
saler, retailer or consumer. The
freight charges paid by the dealer
upon any article must he added to the
first cost of that article when he sells
it to the consumer, and thus the con-
sumner pays the freight in the end. It
must therefore, be apparent to every
one, that any advance in the freight
rates to any section is really tax
levied upon the consumers of that Sec
ton. The consumers of Kansas have
of late had much to complain of. At
a time when there are thousands of
cars of Kansas products to be hauled
by the railroads, it would be but
reasonable to expect a lowering Of
freight rates in consequence of the
vast amount of business offered. But
it seems that even our prosperity is to
be levied upon by the railroads. For
several months past there has been a
systematic advance in their charges.
First came the big advance in the
freight on sugar. Then the live stock
rate was manipulated, and it need not
surprise anyone if the rates on wheat
corn and other staples are shortly
raised. What are the people of Kan
sas to do"'-Atchison Champion.

The End and the Remedy.

The great end which the Farmers
Alliance seeks to compass-the redress
of the grievances from which farmers,
in common with the laboring classes
generally, suffer-will be attained by
bringing vernment-national, state,
county and municipal-back to the
principle that no money is to be taken
from the people except to support hon
est government economically admins
tered; by abolishing all special privil-
eyes; by ceasing to bestow favors upon
the few to the detriment of the many;
by stopping all partial and class legis-
lation. and by providing the country
with currency ample enough to meet
its steadily Increasing demands; so
that the blessings of government shall
fall alike on the millionaire and the
beggar, and that government shall
exercise the narrowest limit of power
consistent with efficiency, and confer
the broadcast liberty upon the citizen
consistent with peace, order and JUS
tice.

The Alliance in Washington.

The Farmers Alliance stands 10, COO
strong to-day in the state of Washing
ton, while lecturers and organizers are
hurrying here and there, mastering
willing hosts of new members into the
new ranks, organizing new lodges by
the score every week, and in the Ian
guage of the leading papers: The
situation looks gloomy for practical
politicians" consequently, we predict
with a s'vision clear" that the result
in '92 will not turn on show New York
goes" but on how the Alliance and
Grange go! Republican ring papers
and corruptionists in the north very
naturally swear that the Alliance move
is only trick of the Democratic party
and few 'sorehead Republicans in
order to defeat the Republican party.
Likewise the Democratic ring papers
and corruptionists of the south wipe
the perspiration from their ungener-
ated faces and swear and howl that it
is only a scheme gotten up by Repub-
lican carpet baggers'' in the south in
order to break the "solid SOUTH" and
enhance their chances for Office. We
yell rats" we have heard that gag"
many times before. The fact is the
farmers in both north and south fully
realize that their interests are COM
mon, also, that it is not only their duty
to SOW and reap, but to reject in toto
the lying words and spongy promises
made to them by both the old PAL ty
leaders and take hold of state and ma
tional affairs, and superintend at least
the making of such laws as will work
to their emolument as we'll as to the
profit of others. -GOldendale Courier.

The Churn Test.

It now looks as if the churn had

Is no greater loss at any point than in

Station, found, after some very care
fully conducted tests, that out of every
100 lbs of fat brought in, in the form
of cream, some 81 pounds were car
ried Off in the buttermilk as unrecov-
ed butter, and in our day at factory
with about p times the amount of fat
above indicated, the churn left SO
lbs of fat in the buttermilk, an amount
that at that time would have equaled
over 81. 80. The variation each day
of the churn was as great as the varia-
ton in the working of the creamery
apparatus. The two on one day with
cream with a tested butter fat value
of 241 lbs. failed in securing all the
fats by 12.99 los. water free fat, worth
as butter in the open market So. 80.

side of the Huguenots in the French
civil wars, and afterward in the war in
Ireland. On his return from ireland
it is said that he won the queens favor
by throwing his new plush cloak into

fought against the Great Armada. or

A CASE OF BARNACLES.
Dying Under MOssback Treatment With
Progress at the Door.

Progress at the Door.
The Democratic party is suffering at
present from a bad case of barnacles.
1t is being injured and brought into
ridicule by the silly mutterings of it's
old, petted and imperious leaders, who
have become soured and disgruntled at
the failure of their craftsmanship and
mad beyond reason at the prospect of
defeat and retirement. If the young
men in the party could have chance
to come to the front with their modern
and progressive ideas the whole polit-
ical aspect of the party would change
at once. Such, however, will not be
permitted, as the old Bourbon element
that led during the war and have been
keeping up the fight ever since will
admit of no innovations of this char
acter These old liners assume dicta-
torial powers and force the younger
and better informed to stand back and
see their party led to destruction by
the advocacy of moss grown laws,
championed by moss-covered politi-
clans. By such means the progress
and enlightenment of the age is re-
tarded, and the old, wOrn-Out story of
the past together with the ghosts and
COLLINS of the long-ago, are made to
conserve the push and ambition of the
present generation. As now conduct
ed, wherein lies the political hopes of
young member of the Democratic
party, especially in the South, save in
the death of some ancient Omceholder?
His only choice at present is to work
and vote for some old politician, whose
principles and utterances are as a
whole repulsive and obsolete. These
old officeholders are living in the past
They are even now feasting upon
doctrine of hate, and can only become
eloquent over matters that should
have been buried a quarter of a CEN
fury ago. This is all their stock in
trade, and it is through this that their
official services have been continued.
They realize full we'll that the doc
trines of the Alliance will eliminate
this sentiment, and in the changed
conditions which must follow they are
sure to be relegated to political obliv-
ion. For this reason such men as
Oates, Mills, George and Tillman are
so bitter and vindictive in their attacks
on the Alliance No wonder the
younger and more progressive part of
the people are joining the Alliance and
revolving against their domination.
Such action is simply the natural out
come of the advancing spirit of the
age that will not be held down to the
hoary traditions of the past by party
dictation. This sentiment of political
independence is in it's infancy only,
and all obstacles thrown in its path by
the old political leaders will conspire
to accelerate rather than retard its
growth. The hope of the nation lies
in it's young men. and the growth and
prosperity Of the nation will be meas
ured by their. intelligence and indie
pendence. Those old political barna-
cles Of the Democratic party must be
removed and new life and new ideas
injected, or the young and progressive
will surely desert and leave it to its
we'll merited fate. National Econom-

How to Make a Cup Of Coffee.


1t is asserted by men of high PROBES
sional ability that when the system
needs stimulant nothing equals a cup
of fresh coffee. Those who desire to
rescue the drunkard from his cups will
find no better substitute for spirits
than strong, new-made coffee, without
milk or sugar. Two ounces of coffee to
one pint of boiling water makes a first
class beverage. but the water must be
boiling not merely hot Bitterness
comes from boiling too long. If the
coffee required for breakfast be put in
a granitized iron kettle over night, and
pint of cold water be poured over it,
it can be heated to just the boiling
point and then set back to prevent
further ebullition; it will be found that
while the strength is extracted the
delicate aroma is preserved. AS our
country consumes ten pounds of coffee
per capita it is pity not TO have it
made in the best manner. 1t is as

that malaria and epidemics are avoided
by those who drink cup of hot coffee

riety of work connected with general
farming, that if he looks after and
keeps up every end he will find that he
must spend the most of his time either
in hand or head work. His presence.

the little things or there is constant
loss in farming. These l believe are
