Ocala Tn to Date.

The National Farmers Alliance which
has Just met at Memphis. and has parted
with perceptible part. and shown the har-
mony to be expected from the brandishlng
OF baseball bats and the pulling" OF
"pops." adopted an uble platform. Ocala
up to date. 1t Is an amusing production, OF
course. The flnanciers and economists OF
the Alliance never fail to be amusing to the
public. Among themselves they are prob
ably tedious. When they declare and pro-
nounce and denounce and demand. they in
clude themselves in tho ample chapter OF
American humor. Thus Memphis DE.
mand d" demands THAT our national leg
isation shall be so framed in the future as
not to build up one industry at the expense
ofanother" Demand" called Finance"
proposes to tax the whole country for the
sake OF building up tho farmers by means
OF the Sub-Treasury plan "or some better
system"
Then there Is the utterance on trans
portation. Hear it and think revcrcntly
and profoundly:
sportation-Transp o-ta,i,n being A means of
exchange and public necessity. tho Government
should own and operate the railroad. IN the ineress
OF tho people. Tho telegraph and telephone like the
Fost once gyste m Tor the transmission
should be owned and operated by tho Goverumsu, in
the interests " the people"
This Is great and old. But tie telephone
and tho telegraph, and even the railroad,
are not OF the first Importance to the
farmer. What the Farmers Alliance should
have asked for on the subject OF transporta-
ton, modelled Oh the Sub reasury princi.
pie is something like this:
ave demand mechanical roals with ssplalt
sidewalks to be furnished by tho Federal Government
in every district In which farming is the princ,nul
pursuit. We demand electric passenger ana freight
cars likewise At the expense Of the Federal Govern.
ment for tho purpose OF Transporting ourselves. our
families aud our farm products to the nearest arket
and place or amusement. We demand steam wheel.
barrOws, dsrricks pumps, rlnugns hArrows moving
machines. rskes aud steam printing presses fer the
printing of Alliance bills and platforms And We shall
not cease to pneri1e tho platOcracy until these and
other similar rights are granted tous"
The Alliance Is too modest. 1t ought to
speak right up.

her once dearest foe with crural incegauce
or insufIicicncy. Observe that not a par.
ticc OF evidence is given that tho legs of
the young men OF st. Louis are inferior to
those OF Chicago. 1t may be true that the

1t Is against probability to suppose that the
young men OF st. Louis tremble TO put on

Mr.. MEDILL's insincerity In the accllsu-

his remarks about the little exercise taken

was rash OF Lord SALISBURY to show the

An article recently contributed to an Eng

TO be distinctly understood that tho Tory

piled to 1t. throw out the expected Home

persuaded. 1t Is said, the McCarthyitcs to
assent to brief postponement of the Homo

through tho House OF Commons a reformed
Repatriation bill and a project for the aboli-

The effect OF this proceeding will be to
