The committee on resolutions read
the lengthy preamble and then offered
the following platform:
We demand q national currency. safe, sound
and flexible issued by the general government
only full legal tender for all debts, public and
private and that without the use Of banking cor
poraiions, q just, equitable and efficient means
Of distribution direct to the people, tax not to
exceed per cent per annum TO be provided as
set forth in the sub-treasury plan OF the Far
mers' Alliance, or better system; also by pay
ments in discharge OF its obligations for public
improvements.
(Al-We demand free and unlimited coinage
Of silver and gold at the present legal ratio Of
l6 toll
(B)-We demand that the amount Of circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than 10 per capita
(Cl We demand a graduated income tax
DIVE believe that the money Of the coun-
try should be kept as much as possible in the
hands OF the people ana hence we demand that
all state and national revenues shall be limited
to the necessary expenses Of the government
economically and honestly administered
GIVE demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government for the safe
deposit OF the earnings Of the people and 10
facilitate exchange
| Transportation being method OF ex'
change and public necessity, the government
should own and operate the railroads in the
interest Of the people.
! (G)-The telegraph, telephone, like the post
Office system being necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest Of the people.
The land including all the natural sources Of
wealth, is the heritage of the people and should
not be monopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should be pro
hibited All lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess Of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should
be reclaimed by the government and held fol
actual settlers only.
The reading of the platform was
warmly greeted, and its unanimou:
adoption almost instantly followed.
A remarkable scene ensued. 1t be
ganby the convention rising in theil
chairs, cheering, swinging coats which
had been taken off on account Of thu
heat, waving hats and fans and throw
ing things into the air. All the dele
gates were on their feet and the stag,

Atchison Globe Proverbs

MosT men do their hardest work in
looking for an excuse to loaf.
NAN can't love a woman he does
not trust; women love men every day
they can't trust.
THE Lord hears lots about the faults
of husbands from over-religious wives.
AFTER all, the most agreeable men in
the world are those who know when it
is time to go.
THERE are none against whom men
need protection so much as those whom
they implicitly trust.
A FRIENDS help in your troubles
never travels beyond the point where it
affects his own interests.
THAT men arc different than women
is considered by the men as sufficient
warrant for all their follies.
IT not unfrequently is the case that
one friend makes man more trouble
than two enemies cause him.
NEITHER coaxing nor threatening ever
made a man give up anything he likes
10 do; nothing but getting tired of it.
SOME people give their confidence as
others give presents: For the sake of
what secrets they will be told in return.
IT happens that he who is least given
10 deceit is the one upon whom deceit is
most frequently and successfully prac-
ticed
If you fin1 man who knows Just
where his business ends, and yours be-
gins, you have found a man who is
worth cultivatng
If you get blue, don't wish you were
dead. You know you will be some day.
A better plan is to make the other fell
low wish he was dead.
HALF the marriages in the world
would not be contracted If the parties
to them could be assured that the other
party would not marry any one else.

gathering that has left its impress upon
The history OF the State and of the country,

earnest, and enthusiastic meeting OF men
and women than that which assembled
under its big dome Wednesday morning.
A score d years have passed since the
opponents OF the legalization and the
recognition of the liquor traffic, meeting
together for the first time In the history OF
the movement, determined to display the
courage of their convictions and to place
Presidential ticket i'm the field. That was in
The Worlds Fair City In 1872, and in every
succeeding Presidential campaign they
have nailed their colors to the mast and
battled at the POLLS In defense Of their
principles Now, although feeling that for
many years to come theirs will be but little
more than campaign of education, they
are stronger, more united, more hopeful of

with "A great deal OF interest by corpora

authorizing the Secretary of State
10 collect, as the State fee for
making corporations, sum equal TO one

the law valid. 1t makes a new source OF
revenue for that State OF over 100000

GREAT CROP IN KANSAS.
So Largo tina There Are Not Farm Labor
ers Enough tn Handle It,

ers Enough To Handle It,
Kansas farmers are having great trouble
in securing sufficient hands TO harvest the
enormous crop OF wheat in the State most
of which IS now ready for cutting. There
Is an alarming scarcity OF farm hands,
and the farmers are Offering high
wages TO secure sufficient help. At
all the stations along the Santa Fe
Railway, the trains are daily besieged by
farmers trying to secure men to work.
They offer from 81 TO SO n day with board,
wages which have never been known to
prevail I'm the State before. Last years
wheat crop was 81, O55, 900 bushels, and the
yield this year will probably exceed that
OF any previous year in the history OF the
State. In the central and northern
portions of the State at least 10000
farm hands can find employment at
wages ranging from 50 to SO day with
board during the present harvest The oat
crop, too, promises a very large yield, and
the corn crop, the average of which exceeds
any previous year, will probably exceed
any former yield. Conservative estimates
place the total yield in the neighborhood
Of 200, 600, 600 bushels

OHIO WHEAT DAMAGED.
Large Heads but Few Grains-Upper Por-
tion Filled with Chan


tion Filled with Cham
Reports received by Secretary Bonham,
of the Ohio State Board OF Agriculture,
within the last few days indicate serious
damage to the growing wheat crop in Ohio.
Some farmers have sent heads Of wheat to
the secretary to explain the popularity
OF the injury h the crop, the exact cause
of whcs has not been determined.
The heads are large and apparently
well filed but upon examination are found
TO contain very few grains. These are
close TO the lower Part Of the head, while
the upper portion has nothing but chat.
There is no semblance of grain in many
heads except at the lower part; in others it
has withered and died before maturing.
Difference OF opinion exists as to whether
it was blighted by the extreme heat OF last
week or injured by a green louise that APP
peared in many fields about the same time
