The conglomerate body which has assem-
bled in ST. Louis to consider the question
whether there shall be formed third political
party in the United States has as many sides
as Mr. Gladstone's politics, and as many hues
as Josephs coat.
They have delegations from the Farmers
Alliance, from the knights Of Labor. from
the Reform Press Association. from the
Woman's Alliance, from the United Order of
ant-Monopolists from the Union Reform
Association, from the Central Nationalists.
from the Farmers League, from the Alliance
Assemblies of the Industras, from many
others too numerous to mention, and, finally,
from the Colored Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association. negro was made assistant
secretary of the convention and a woman was
made one of the Independents.
The Knights Of Labor have demanded that
the platform shall contain one plank embody-
ing all of Henry Georges theories concerning
the tenure of land, and another calling upon
the General Government TO take charge of
all telegraph. telephone and railroad lines.
and demanding that hereafter no charter
shall be issued to any corporation for the con-
struction or operation of any means of trans
porting intelligence. passengers or freight.
Our language is the most flexible one that
has ever been known, and it is continually
embodying in Itself some entirely new word
to describe some entirely new phenomenon
that the shifting order of events brings before
the senses. OF all the new words recently
taken into the language none is more express
sive than the word crank when applied to
an individual who simply cannot be described
by any other word. 1t fits the case and fills
the bill exactly. If you ask your friend what
sort of person Mr. A. is. and. finding him.
self unable to describe him. your friend re-
plies. "Oh, he's crank YOU understand
your man at once although you are altogether
unable to put your finger on the exact spot
in his brain which is diseased.
Now, of all the bodies that have ever assem-
bled in the United States we think the st.
Louis body is the most entirely representa-
tive body of "cranks" that has ever got to-
gether in this country. The witches cal
dron was plaything to it. To suppose that
any policy # government worth following
can emanate from such a source would be 10
look for q plan of campaign from the kings
jester. but it's worth q moments pause 10
inquire what will our Farmers Alliance
friends Of the Southern States do with their
negro assistant secretary?

Irish Nationalsts and the friends of home
rule in America which has the true ring
The issue of home rule must be fought out
in the coming Parliament. We have been
idle. apathetic. indifferent and prejudiced
long enough. There is no excuse now given
for any man who believes in home rule TO
withhold his hand. The matters which
separate the members of Parliament
Ireland from each other cannot
and should not be considered at the
present time. Every right-minded man who
believes in the triumph of this principle will
come 10 the aid of all the members of the
party. No matter what our individual
opinions are, or may have been. that man is
not lover of his country or Of freedom who

ENCOURAGEMENT TO IMMIGRATION

One thing the Legislature should by all

thousands upon thousands Of acres of good
lands lying idle and for sale, awaiting thrifty
and industrious settlers TO cultivate and make
of them profitable farms. This is one of the
vital needs of the State. for without the oc-
cupaton of her virtually waste lands she can
never expect to attain to anything like wide

Important strikes are reported ia
the southwestern portion of Haw-
thorne District. Last week Thomas
Jaggers sold a two-thirds interest in
the Orc Blanco to A. w. Curtis, l.. II.
Knowles and A. s. Dickerson, and
work WAS ut once begun on the mine.
The pay ore is about six inches W ide
and is rich in gold.
The Queen Isabelle is probably the
best property in that portion of the
district ut this time. The ledge is
three feet wide, all milling ore, with
very rich spots all through it. The
working force will be increased this
manth.
Many new locations are being made
and it is not unlikely that this will
soon he the busiest portion Of the dis.
trici.
The new diggings are about twelve
miles southwest Of Hswlhorne.
