It has not yet been decided where the
Peoples party national headquarters will
be established. st. Louis has made a bid
for the headquarters, offering to furnish
suitable rooms, a stenographer, stationery
and entertainment for the chairman and
secretary. Omaha is likely to duplicate
the offer, and the fight will probably be
directed from one of the two cities.

Why, in some places they use one thing;

the thing to make lamp of. The
natives fasten it in rude kind of
candle-stick, made of strips Of white
oak, and set it on fire. They light il at
the head, and it burns steadily away
down to the very tail.
Of all the queer ways to make Il lamp
to read or sew by, think this is the
queerest Nature 3eems to provide al
most everything needed by the people
in the place where they live. The cam

to the foreman for an explanation, and
found that it was because they were

I'M. BARBER, of Texas, was last
week elected to Congress to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Roger Q. Mills. who takes a seat
in the senate. Mr.. Barber was elect
ed by the Peoples party by MAORI
ty of about 400 over his democratic
opponent.
Those people who have been so
anxious to show that the Peoples Par
ty is simply organized for the purpose
of disrupting the republican party,
will learn that the Peoples Party is
organized in democratic as well as re-
publican states. When Mills was
elected about two years ago he had a
very large majority over his republI-
can opponent, and it seems that Mr.
Barber has overcome that majority,
and secured one for himself. The
Peoples Party is national in its or
ganization and will do more to break
down sectionalism than any party

THE very first calamity howl ever

Champion, an honorable republican
journal, twas by the Topeka Capital

the farmers of Kansas contemplating
the Reputation of their honest debts;
when it bawled and croaked about the
financial credit of Kansas being injur-
ed because the Alliance last fall trl-
umphed over a gang of pot-house
politicians and elected a majority of
the legislature; because the machine
upon which it depends for patronage
got beautiful pair of black eyes"

ed and kept up by the Capital alarm
ed eastern holders of Kansas securi-
ties and started all the commotion
which has agitated financial circles in
reference to Kansas for the past ten
months. The Capital for political
effect started this howl and kept 1t up

rhe Prlze snake storv.

In Central Dakota, on the mis-
souri, bottom" there exists one of ma
lures strangest freaks. The settlers
term it the pump snake" How it
came there and where it came from
is yet unknown. 1t first made its ap-
pearence in Emmons county in the
spring of 1856. A full-groWn pump
snake measures about sixteen feet in
length and about three inches IN di-
ameter. They are of gregarious hab-
its, roaming the prairies in large
herds, as many as three hundred hav-
ing been counted in a single flock.
In dissecting one of these reptiles
there is found tube which extends
from the root of the jaw to the ex-
tremity of the tail and terminates in
an opening. This tube is about two
inches in diameter and lined with
tough, yielding substance similar to
rubber The pump snake is easily
trained to answer the call of man.
The inhabitants of this section trap
them in large numbers.
A farmer on Cat Tail creek has a
flock of twenty pump snakes trained
to a remarkable degree of proficiency.
At the blast of whistle the snakes
assemble on the banks of the creek.
The leader there is always a leader
to herd of these snakes, who is cleo
ted by two-thirds majority dashes
into the water of the creek, leaving
| only the extremity of his tail on the
bank. Another snake Immediately
grasps the end of the leaders, tail In
his jaws, third snake takes hold of
the second snakes tail in a similar
manner, and SO on, extending to the
water trough IN the cattle yards, three
hundred feet away. The leading
snake begins to swallow or pump the
water of the creek, which passes
through the long line of snakes as 1T
would through hose and falls in a
| heavy stream into the trough.
The agriculturlst told of an extra
ordinary circumstance which occur
red short time ago. While working
in the field near his home he observ-
ed flames issuing from the roof of his
barn. Wild with excitement, he hur-
ried to the burning building only 10
see that it was a hopeless task for
himself alone to attempt to extinguish
the flames. In despair he gazed on
the destruction. Suddenly he heard
loud rustling in the tall grass,
whence issued his heard of pump
snakes on the run. Tue leader hurl-
ed himself into the creek, the rest in
stantly adjusting themselves heads
and tails from the creek to the burn
| ing building. The last snake stand
ing on its head, waved its long and
flexible body, from the tail of which
issued q stream of water that was
thrown with terrific force on the burn
ing building. Back and forth dash
ed the tail end of the living hose,
squirting the water where it would
do the most good, while the loud
pumping of the leader could be heard
above the confagration. Within fif-
teen minutes the last spark was out.
Then, and not until then, did the
pump snakes quit work They were
completely exhausted, the leader hav-
ing tainted dead away. The main
part of the building and its contents
we're saved, thanks to the presence of
mind of these wonderful snakes.

As to Railroad Rates.

It is claimed that If there should
be any material reduction in the rates
of fare or freight, the railroads of the
country would generally go into bank
ruptcy. To support this it is pointed
out that only small portion of them
are now paying dividends. The ans
wer to this is that not a railroad in
the United States is run upon the
same legitimate basis as other branch
es of business. They are all trying
to make the public pay dividends on
watered stock, on blunders and mis-
takes in their earlier management, or
in some other way are exacting re-
turns which are not Legitimate. For
example, in the most honestly manag-
ed roads there were millions of dol
ars invested in the deprecated paper
money current IN the country from
1862 to 1879. In every other branch
of business stock so acquired was seal
ed DOWN as we approached a specie
basis, or gotten ridden of at the pric-
es then prevailing. This was trne of
all the real estate in the country.
The value Of all the land in the coun-
try was sealed down from the inflated
prices of 1865 to those set by the re-
sumption of specie payments in 1879.
The railroads did not do this. AS a
rule every dollar invested in them is
kept on their account-books at its face
value. A stiIl more aggravated wrong
is that the bonds and stock of most
of the railroads built since the war
represent from three to four times the
amount actually expended in their
construction. When an investor put
in 81, 900 he was given from $4,000 to
| $4,000 worth of bonds and stock.
This is notorious. Then all manner
of equipment companies" combines,
transportation companies, and similar
parasites have saddled the roads with
enormous burdens and are eating the
heart out of the profits Of their bust
ness. The railroads are trying tc
make the public pay for all of these
and are succeeding only too well.
If the railroads were recognized
and placed on the same basis as Other
branches of business, their profits
would everywhere be very great
There Is hardly a road in the United
States but which, if purchased on tht
same basis that factory or store is
and run upon the same business prin
5 eiples. would pay enormous dividends

must take, and it is not too soon t.
a.. begin it now.-NdtiOnaI Tribune.
