Reforms Demanded. .

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE
Farmers Alliance of Indiana, composing
the bulk of the Peoples party, which
cast in the neighboorhood Of 10000 votes
in this State last Tuesday, adopted u
series of resolutions today cmbodying
the demands they will make of the next
Legislature of this State. They want
such revision of the tax law as will
transfer to capitalists and corporations
their just burden of taxation; the enact
ment of salary law that will. place the
compensation of officers on level with
compensation that similar services will
command in the open market; a law re-
qulring all securities to be stamped by
the assessors and rendering them void
otherwise; and repeal of the legislation of
1891 which created 100 new offices; re-
peal of the law of 1891 which increased
the States indebtedness S1,4OO, 900;
abolition of the free pass system on rail-
ways; the suppression of the liquor
traffic. and such legislation as will pre-
vent the wholesale robbery of the state
school fund by system of false enumer-
alton. Resolutions were also adopted ex-
pressing rene wed faith in the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, and in
dorsing the St. Louis platform. A legis-
lative committee was appointed to work
for the changes wanted

Andrew Carnegie ostentatiously cabled
his congratulations to President Harrison
from his castle beyond the sea than his
representative at Homestead, Mr.. Frick,
became party to one of the most exasper-
ating labor riots of industrial history.
We are discussing the merits of the case.
1t is well known that the man who re-
fused to sign the Frick scale would have
received very high wages under the
scale, but to jump at the conclusion
from that fact that the lockout was
justitiable would be wide of the mark.
The controversy at Homestead was
not over compensation but over organi-
zation. Mr.. Carnegie, though his man
Frick, undertook to break up a labor
union or at least Danish it from Home
stead. By so doing he aroused the
active animosty of every union in the
country, no matter what the industry
may have been. Mr.. Carnegie must
have known that such would be the case.
Did he care, and, if so, on which side
were his real sympathies?
Burchard's words, whether they were
the slip of the tongue or the fang of the
serpent, once uttered could not be re-
called, but if Mr.. Carnegie had really
wished to he could have reversed the en-
gine by one little cablegram. He knew
very we'll how strong is the devotion of
the wage-worKers of the country to the
principle of organization, and he had not
hesitated to say that if he himself were a.
wage-worker he would be union man.
He may not have anticipated bloodshed,
but surely he must have known tnat he
was dong President Harrison and the
Republican party the greatest possible
injury within his power It is said that
British manufacturers contributed ST.
600, 600 to the Democratic campaign
fund. Even if so, Andrew Carnegie's as
sistance to the Democratic party was
greater than this.

A History of Former ssLandslides" Which

A History of Former "Landslides" Which
May Prove Interesting ut the Present
Time.
The great democratic victory in the
election Tuesday is called a landslide by
politicians. Such landslides are peculiar
to American politics. They do not occur
often. There have been only three such
events since the foundation of the govern
ment. The democratic party is the only
political party that has survived land
slide, when it was on the under side of
the slide. When democrats get tired Of
rejoicing over the great victory won Tues.
day and the republicans get tired of won.
dering how it all happened, they can all
find rest and amusement in comparing it
with the similar events which took place
fifty-two and forty years ago respectively.
They will find many interesting coinci.
dents when they come to compare the
three great events in American politics.
One of the first they will notice is that
Benjamin Harrison's grandfather, Will.
lam Henry Harrison, was elected presi.
dent in 1910 by a landslide as big as the
one which defeated the grandson in 1892.
Twelve years later the second great land.
slide occurred, and that one was the begin
ming of the end of the whig party, which
got a crushing defeat in the election of
1852. The republican party is 80
old this fall. The party nominated candi-
dates for president and vice-president for
the first time in 1856. The whlg party
was just thirty-three years old when it
ceased to exist. This is another coinci.
dence which may interest both democrats
and republicans just now. The whig
party was not IN power so long as the re-
publican party has been, but it died hard.
1t survived the landslide of 1852 eigh,
years, but it was younger when the slide
came than the republican party is today
Its youthful vitality kept it alive eigh,
years but it was poor and hopeless sort
Of existence. A feature of these politica
landslides is that the candidates who wert
on the wrong side of them were never af
terward elected to any important Office
Martin VanBuren, who was regarded Al
something of a politician in his day, wa!
on the wrong side of the slide that carried
Grandfather Harrison into the whit,
house. He afterward became sort Of
standing candidate for president, but new
er got an electoral vote. He was nomi
mated by the free soil party four year!
later and by the know-nothing of Ameri
ca party. eight years afterward, but fail
ed to carry a single state either time.
Gen. Winfield Scott went down under
the great democratic landslide of 1s5:
along with the whig party. The politi
cal landslide of 1910 and 1852 differed
from the one this year, in that the sue
cessful candidates in those elections go
comparatively small majorities of the pop
uiar vote, while they had four-fifths Of
the votes in the electoral college. Blu,
the three were alike in that each was the
work of the people and not of the politi
clans.

After the students had gone through their usual

Upon the pleasure and satisfaction which such

The rest o! the forenoon was devoted to the

and the Olympics visible. Nevertheless the

air was soft, and the shores and the bills bs-
yond were rich with the fresh leaves and grass

bic occasion from all points OF view. The city
was thronged with visitors from morning till eve,
each boat and train arriving during the cay
being loaded. Tacoma people chartered the

have done honor TO q town OF many
times its population. In fact, every
town within days journey OF Seat
tie was represented at the celebration
The merchants OF the city seemed determined
that the day should be specially devoted to the
honor OF the days guests, and many OF the
firms on Front street decorated their show win
dows The initials II. o. O. F. ana the pictur-
esque emhlens of the order were everywhere
present, and left no doubt as to the meaning OF
the festivities. At O'Clock the parade left the
Armory, proceeded TO Front street and thence
ID Yesler avenue. On every corner and
walk on both sides OF the street was large
crowd, cheering and welcoming toe Odd Fell
lows as they marched to the strains of music.
The procession Up Second to Pike and down
Third to Madison, where ranks were broken,
was received by q continual ovation, and the
fine display reflected great credit upon those in
charge. From beginning to end there was
neither accident nor Misunderstanding to mar
the days arrangements.

In addition to the Grafton of the day by Z. G.
