THE FARMERS SIDE.
"Where we are, hOw we got here,
and the Uay out.
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
U.s.. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12mo, cloth

There is demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infiu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMEI's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes mortgages, and rates of interest
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how tie farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion Of (" he Way out -
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions OF the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and ether matters of vital consequence.
This book IS tie only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMER's SIDE has Just been issued.

paIgn OF 1892. Paper. so cents; cloth, 81 So
The most remarkable contribution to the reform
literature OF the day is " The Coming Climax" by
Lester {. Hubbard, editor [now ex-editorl of the
Farmers Voice. 1t is a complete history and
analysis OF the causes which have produced in.
creaslng poverty amid increasing wealth, and
proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the
results CT the continuation Of present social condi.
tons must be conflict, besides which the French
Revolution was gentle zephyr to cyclone. To
style and diction fully equal to that of Henry
George, Mr.. Hubbard adds force and earnestness
born of conviction of the extreme gravity Of the
situation.-DeaazOo0a, S. D. LnalpFHdEnt.
II the Peoples Party should scatter a million
copies of Mr. Hubbard work throughout the land.
1t would probably prove TO be good campaign
ammunition as they could manufacture.-kta,y
Frank fn 1aDsnfietA Century.
The COMING CLIMAX should be in the hands Of
every voter in the United States, and should be
read carefully and prayerfully. No book has ever
this will Reading its truthful pages will make
q good alliance man better one, and will stir up
the luke-warm to active work. 1t only costs 50
cents, and IS worth more than its weight in gold,
Inc alliance Farmer, Wesf0flLs, florida.
The COMING CLIMAX is heartily endorsed
by Ignatius Donnelly, Robert Schilling, R.

STORY OF A CAR PATRON.

ally going home on the last car.
went home on the / O'clock car Of the
Valencia yesterday morning
1t was not so much different from other
cars in some respects. but in one particular
1t was very different.
During the daytime the Valen cia-street
cars on which travel have an average Of
ten passengers-that is thirty passengers
for the three day trips that make.
Yesterday morning there were eighty
two passengers, and l have never counted
the last-car people and found them short of
thirty.
The people we're hanging all over the car
on which went home yesterday morning
1t was with the greatest difficulty that /
could get on IL. and when j did l had TO
hang upon cold iron hand-rail on the
dummy for sixteen blocks and was nearly
knocked off several times by the squirming
mass of humanity on that car.
Now, what does my information and ex-
perience regarding these cars show?
Simply that the Markct-street Cable
Railway Company Is willing to run its cars
with only few passengers in them during
certain hours Of the day. while it refuses to
run them after O'clock at night. even on
the chance of getting full cars.
But suppose the company did not get full
cars at night.
Certainly, IL 1t pays to run the cars with
few passengers In them during the day
hours. 1t would pay at night. too.
Aside from all this my night duties will
soon be such that ! cannot live in the Mis-
sion after January unless the owl cars
should be put on, as urged by your valuable
paper.

know 1t win not break anybody, but that
20 cents is not all. There are seven persons
In my family and they all travel on the Va
lencia-street cars. My two sons travel
daily TO their work and back. That makes
20 cents moro. My wife travels over the
line Of least six times week, or say cents
worth day. and her sister and m other also
travel at least cents worth day between
them. Add 10 this the daily visitors to my
family, which would amount on an average
to 10 cents day. and you have altogether
60 cents day. or for 300 days of the year
$3.50 Quite little item, ehp Not 81 OF
that $50 will Mr.. Croker get next year IL
he does not run owl cars after the
list OF January. for unless I should be
granted decent streetcar service by that
time l would move downtown. and might
not paironlze the Valeucia-street line once

MISS NC 10y HOU.
A Girl Who interests the
Lawyers.
Her Departure to China Would Settle
a Very Important Chinese
Question.

juage Mckenna, in the United States
Circuit Court, made IN important ruling
yesterday 10 regard to the Interpretation Of
the Geary exclusion act.
The question arose upon an application
Tor the discharge Of Miss Ng 10y Hou upon
writ of habeas corpus.
The girl had been illegally landed, and
upon being arrested and brought before
commissioner Sawyer was sentenced by
MIN TO tive days imprisonment and then to
be deported to China. Her lawyers sued
Out writ OF habeas CORPUS, and In their
argument before Judge McKenna contended
that a commissioner had no power to sen-
tence any person to imprisonment, aud that
before she could be convicted of any crime
Ng 10y Hou was entitled to a trial by jury.
Judge McKeuna held that the woman had
been lawfully sentenced, ordered the writ
dismissed and the defendant to be remanded
back 10 custody TO be deported to China.
ne effect OF the ruling Is TO establish the
validity OF tue Geery law in what was feared
10 be one of its most vulnerable sections.
Ihe Chlnese have been holding aloof from
registration because they were inspired with
the hope that the courts would declare GER
tain provisions of the law unconstitutional.
", mdtn the certainty that deportation starss
them In the face the prosnect Is assured in
measure that there will be a renewal of
registration. unless the motion for an appeal
exercises restraining influence.

formation that one Of the white persons had
stated that he was paid TO make his affidavit
ana thereup0n caused the arrest of the two
white men ana the girl.
She was then taken to the Chinese mis-
SION, ana subsequently upon trial before
commissioner Sawyer stated she wasn't
born here. He ordered her 10 be sent back
TO China under the Geary bill.
Under section II Of the restriction act of
1884: writ OF hfbeas corpus was sued ont in
the United States Circuit Court on her behalf
upon the ground that under the Geary hill
Inc Commissioners had no right TO hear and

unlawful residence in the United States of

That under the fifth and sixth amendments

these persons could not be punished or de-
