STATESMEN VS.. CRANKS.

This is "a rafting great big cOun-
try" It is bounded on the North and
on the South by big sheets of water.
This water has fish in it. The Ameri-
can sol is also noted for it's having
plenty of bait worms scattered around.
Another striking characteristic is that
our soil produces fOols-big, cranky
fools. Now and then these fools go to
Congress. Sometimes a rascal goes,
too.
Some of these fools are in Congress
this year. a part Of the Texas delega-
ton, with the help of some others,
have decided to act the fool, with a
big F.
DR.. Macune's little boy Charlie has
been appointed a page by the door
keeper. A page is simply an errand
boy, filling a position similar to that of
the "check boy" who carries bundles
in a large dry goods establishment.
1t seems that the doorkeeper didn't
consult the Texas delegation about this
important matter. They are mad.
They have held an indignation meet
ing, are painting the Washington at
mosphere blue with profanity and such
stuff.
Now we want to know if these gen
tlemen who are thus engaged have yet
met together for the purpose of getting
up a plan to relieve their constituents,
| We want to know if it is good policy
for them to spend days and nights
| about a trivial matter when their con
stituents are rapidly failing in business
all over the country when millionaires
are being made by the dozen and
paupers by the thousand. We don't
know who the parties are. Some of
them are from Texas; some from other
States. But we do know if reports
are true that their constituents have
made a big mistake. They have sent
men to Congress who have not hard
sense sufficient to attend to a gap in a
fence for fifteen minutes.

U S ONE QUESTION.

Just now seems an appropriate OPP
portunity and time for all true Alliance
men to ask one question. 1t is sug-
gested by the appearance of a long and
labored article in the Southern Ali
ance Farmer from the pen of a prOmi-
nent member of our Order, showing
that the election Of Mr.. Crisp to the
Speakership was the best thing for the
Alliance. And again it is suggested by
a leading editorial in our National
Organ of the same tenor and claiming
his election as "a great victory for the
Alliance" Here is the question: Could
Mr.. Crisp have been elected Speaker of
the House if it had been known he was
in favor of Alliance principles? VIII
somebody answer? If not, who gained
the victory2 Will somebody answer?
Not all at once. One at a time. Do
we hear you?

THEN AND NOW-THAT AN
THIS.

For a hundred years, in all the log
school houses, on the Fourth of July
rostrums, in our nursery rhymes, in
our school books, in legislatures
and in Congress, in song ana on tablet,
the glory Of our forefathers has been
extolled. They suffered. fought and
died for a great principle. They
"pledged their fortunes, their lives ard
their sacred honor" against the odious
crime of taxation without representa-
tlon." But somehow in the bewilder
ing whirl of u rapidly-advancing
civilization we have got the thing en-
tirely twisted around. The money
kings and their colossal wealth are in
the peaceful and undisputed enjoyment
of the fullest representation without
taxation" But some of the descen-
dants Of these glorious old forefathers
are fighting to decide, from a moral
standpoint, whether King George or
the American money king is the greater
tyrant-whether there was not rs much
fairness and justice in the n as the
other. Our grandfathers went to the
cartridge-box with the one and their
grandsons are going to the ballot-box
with the other.

SOMETHING NEW AND VALU-
ABLE.

The new book, entitled "PrOit and
Pastlme, or the Industrial Club De-
claimer," recently published by the
Vincent Bros. Publishing Co., of In
dianapolis, Ind, surely is a beauty,
and at the same time a mos timely
publication. Our industrial clubs all
suffer for a want Of social and literary
entertainment; 50 much so that they
often loose their attraction for those
most wanted. This new book is beau,
tifully illustrated, and is chOckful of
poems, readings, plays, dialogues, dec
lamations, and, in fact, everything
calculated to amuse and instruct both
young and old, while through its 800
pages it never loses sight of the under
lying principles Of social and moral re-
form. Prices: paper cover, 50 cents;
library cloth, gilt edge and stamp,
1925. 1t was endorsed by the National
Council.

TELEGRAPH

We publish a very able article from
the pen of Hon. Walter Clark, of the
Supreme Court, in this issue. Judge
Clark has always stood with he people
and against monopoly.
In this article he discusses the impor
lance of governmental ownership of
the telegraph lines and the Importance
and advantages Of a postal telegraph
and telephone system, He shows that
the telegraph is properly a part of the
postal system and that it is a huge mo-
nopoly as now managed.
AS this article is in keeping with one
of the Alliance demands, it will be read
with much interest and profit by our
readers.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

A friend in the nol thern part of the
State has sent us a circular entitled
Action of the Danville Tobacco Asso-
ciation," taken on the 1st, 9TH, 9Th and
9th of September, 1874, in relation to
warehouse charges and tobacco pre-
miums.
Accompanying the circular is q copy
Of a card sent out by VIM. P. Graves,
at that time manager Of Graves Ware
house, which was under management
Of the Grange. Here is a copy of the
card, in which Mr.. Graves shows that
he saved the farmers $127.75 in one
days sales:

Then follows the action of the To
bacco Association, which met Sept. 7th,
1874. This shows that even at that
early date combines" we're not un-
known. The action of this Association
was no doubt ca1ried to other towns
and a fixture" of charges for selling
tobacco, which nodoubtexists in every
tobacco town to-day. Now the ques-
ton is, how much competition is there
in any market when the warehouse
charges are fixed" in this way. An
other question is, don't buyers and
manufacturers get together and fix
prices? If they do, where is the com
petition? Tobacco farmers should
watch these things and see if they can't
discover some more reasons "why
farming don't pay"
Here are the minutes of the DanviIle
| Association:
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Danville Tobacco Association held
at Masonic Hall, Sept. 9TH, the commit
tee appointed to examine and see if
there had been any violation of the rule
regulating the charges for selling leaf
tobacco in this market, made the fol
lowing report, which was received and
adopted:

good enough for us. Wonder if this is
not a game gotten up by your Uncle

Anyway you must avoid the peach

YOU would a sheriff.

Sherman, the great financier, for the
Senate from Ohio, say that all the
solid business men are for him." That
may be correct, but how about the $50
business men who are failing every
week, and the poor farmers? 1t seems
that they would not be for a man that
has done more than any one other man
to bring about these conditions,
Things are mixed in Louisiana.
The Democratic convention met and
split wide open on the lottery question.
The Republican convention met and
split wide open on the lottery question,
and each of these four factions has a
full State ticket in the field, 1t is pos.
sibIe, however, that as fusion has been
male admissible by the Democrats
and Republicans of Kansas, that the
two elements of both parties in LOuisi-
ana will fuse. OF course the Alliance
is opposed to this huge gambling con
Germ and will fight to the bitter end.
The farmers of the United States
are practically, in their relation to the
commercial world, nothing more than
a respectable class of tenants, The
Spectator prices everything they buy;
the Spectator prices everything they
have to sell and the profits of their
labor are absorbed by the money power,
through a cunningly devised system of
robbery foisted upon the country by
partial, discriminating and corrupt
legislation, Under this system, ner-
chants, i'll the agricultural States, have
become unpaid o~verseers, and thefarm-
ers protitless tenants.
The most humiliating and dis
graceful exhibition of the rotten cor
ruption of money politics that ever
blackenened the records of the political
history of the country is now pre-
scented by the situation in Louisiana.
The party which disgraces the name of
Democracy, has espoused the cause of
the shameless gamblers of the lottery
gang, while the Alliance and the
honest men of the Democratic party
have joined. hands to defeat these rob
bers and to save the State from shame.
God grant them a most triumphant
victory, is the prayer of all honest men.

DEATH IN WATER.

The Millions OF Dangers Water Con-
tains and the Rapidity With Which
They Increase Don't Take Any
Chances.
Few people have any idea how impure even the
purest drinking water is. The very best water
known Is fun of germs They are the most prolific
creatures of which we have any knowledge, for q
single one may be the causative parent of more
than sixteen million, five hundred thousand de-
scendants in day. They are Also possessed Of
great vitality, for they can be carried great dis
tances In water without losing their power Of pro-
ducing disease. They can be frozen even boiled
without being destroyed. They may be kept dried
for years and yet when placed in suitable medium
viii come to life and produce fermentation and de-
cay They are the great producers Of malaria,
fever. grip and most serious diseases.
But. you say "what can be done TO avoid
them since they cannot be killed by boiling ?"
There IL bnt one thing which will effectively de-
stroy them and that is coming In contact with
spirits. small amount Of pure spirits in water
will effectualiy kill them and destroy their evil
effects, but should be borne in mind that nothing
but the purest and best spirits should De used for
Not the ordinary WHISTLES which are upon the
market. but something far above them-somethns
which IS highly Endorsed by the scientific world.
Such whiskey is Duffy's Pure Malt. which is. to-
day. more popular than ever before In its history
and which Is doing wonders to destroy the germs
OF every disease. There are hundreds of families
that use IL constantly IN connection with their
drinking water, both 1t the table and between
meals. Beware of any druggist or grocer who
seeks TO offer you something he says Is "just
good" DufYys is the only pure medicinal whiskey
upon the market
