production In this line, and is 80 con-
structed that 1t runs lighter and does
better work, and more Of it, than other
mills of this class. 1t is made so that
the grinding plates can be removed and
new ones replaced with the least possible
trouble, there being no nuts or bolts to
loosen, and no pins or set screws to
bother the farmer who is generally unac-
customed to handling machinery. 1t Is
so arranged that the ground feed is dis
charged directly onto the platform on
which the mill sets, and this Is enclosed
on three sides, making box large enough
to hold quantity Of ground feed which
can easily be removed with scoop. The
mill Is intended TO be operated with two
horses, but it runs so light that one can
work It. It Is thus suited TO every farmer
and feeder who, from the small cost in
volved, can make handsome profit In
grinding their grain. 1t grinds ear corn,
shelled corn, oats, ETC., and makes an ex-
cellent chop feed. The manufacturers
also make numerous sizes Of power mills
suitable for horse, steam or water power,
also burr stone mills, corn shelters and
blacksmiths' tools for farmers. Write
them for illustrated catalogue and par
ticulars.

Mr.. Crisp to the speskership was the best
thing for the Alliance. And again it is
suggested by a leading editorial in our

for the Alliance" Here is the question:

DEATH AND DIVIDENDS.

From the New York World.
Before the clods had settled upon the
dead bodies of the eleven victims of the
recent slaughter on the Central railroad,
the directors Of that corporation assem-
bled.
That slaughter was caused by the lack
Of a proper system of signaling. From
the same cause within the past four
years thirty-five persons have been killed
and ninety wounded on this road.
Surely the first action Of the directors
after this latest casualty was to order in
at once the safety signalsS
Incredible as 1t may seem, not 30.
Red lanterns or ragged flags In the
hands Of incompetent, needless, under
paid men may be passed by train thun-
deFing toward destruction, but the divi-
dends of the Central railroad cannot be
passed. The "blOck system" Is perfect
in the directors room.
And 80 the figures ran to the waiting
ears: Net earnings for the last six months,
GSs46s19; profit above first charges,
&3,8lS,8l2; regular dividend 8 per cent;
special dividend for three months, one
fourth per cent.
The dividends were declared. The dl-
rectors adjourned. And death was left
waiting for the next "accldent"-made-
easy.

padrones. At the mines near Carbon
dale In 1886 there were 900 American
miners. While the strike was on In 1889
and 1890 large numbers Of Slavs and
Huugarians were sent from Castle Gar
den under the protection Of PinkertOn's
detectives. At the last election out Of
1877 miners employed there just sixty
eight were entitled TO vote.
The inspectors found that immigrants
were brought over from Europe In
droves, passed through the barge office
by an agent and taken to the mines to
supersede American miners. There are
several men employed by the mine own
ers whose sole duty It Is to visit the
barge office and get immigrant contract
laborers passed through. One man in
particular was nicknamed "the much
cousin man." as he would visit the barge
Office and secure the release of detained
immigrants, claiming them as cousins,
brothers or relatives.
The inspectors recommend more strin-
gent scrutiny of immigrants passing
through the different landing places. At
present they say the law is practically
useless, as contract lsborerS pass through
by thousands without detection.

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer and set forth his condition, the inAu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is The farmers
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator Pefer de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates Of interest
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
waVe-workers in general. In clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and Ag
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of 1.-THE Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation Of the aims and views of the FarmerS'
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
10 emphasize itS value. 1t is compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.

According to promise, the Lord

laureate in eulogistic and feeling terms.
In the course Of his sermon the bishop
said he would call the deceased poet an
English Iheocratus, rather than Vir-
gil In his completeness he seems to
me to far surpass Wordsworth, and to
almost match Shakespeare. He was as
strong as Byron, without any of Byron 8

THERE SHOULDBE A GOOD TURNOUT
Hon. v. p. Delivers Eloquent Speech
mt North Benwood Saturday Night.
The Issues Entcrtainingly and Con.
ylnciugIy Presented to a Large
Audience.

Hon. v. B. Deliver, of Iowa, arrived
in the city yesterday afternoon from
sherrard, Marshall county, where he
spent the night with an old friend after
his speech at North Benwood Saturday
evening. He is at the Mcclure house.
This evening he will address the voters
of Ohio county in the Central Republic
can hall, in the Lutz building, on Mar
ket street just above the postotfice.
This hall will hold at least thousand
people, and it ought to be packed full
tonight. Mr.. Dolliver is one OF the
most eloquent and brilliant orators
heard here in this campaign, man OF
fine presence, good voice and graceful
delivery. A vein OF pleasantly runs
through his argument and makes his
truths palatable to those who do not
agree with him in political doctrine.
At Whiteman's Grove, North Ben
wood, Saturday night, he held largo
audience in the chilly air by his elo-
ouence and wit, and when he was done
there we're numerous cries OF "go on. !"
He made remarkable strong speech,
reviewing first the history OF the two
parties in the past. and advancing the
idea that parties, like men, are inhu-
'enced in what they are to-day by what
they inherit. The state bank plank OF
the present Democratic platform he
said was the financial creed OF the old
slave power 1t was one OF the evil
dencea OF the revival OF discreditable
and exploded illusions.
He showed the heresy Of the cry OF
protected and unprotected industries,
showing that Republican protection
protects all alike. AS to Homestead,
he said the only relation that sad affair
had to the tariff was that without a
protective tariff there could have been
no Homestead.
lie discussed the "fo'ce bill" elo-
quently and in way which kept the
audience alternating between laughter
and applause. 1t was one OF the most
enthusiastic audiences and one OF the
most successful meetings ever seen in
this vicinity, and reflected great credit
upon Mr.. Samuel Sloan, who organized
and arrangedit.
