EDITORIAL NOTES.

How much longer will it take you
to decide that you ought to vote for
your home and family3
Why is it that free silver papers
In the South are turning their coats all
at once9 Have the bosses spoken?
The Kansas State Alliance Bene-
fit Association saved it's members three
times the cost of the State Alliance.
-. On aaeapital of only $22, 600 the
Kansas Alliance Exchange did a bust
ness of 81, 215, $40 during the last fiscal
year.
Times are hard. Support reform
papers first and then others, if you feel
able. Self-preservation is the first law
of nature.
"Main-Travelled Roads" is some
new reform literature out of the usual
order. State Secretary Barnes can
furnish the books at SO cents each.
Bro. J. M. Gibson, Secretary of
Bethlehem Alliance, No. 1,O6O, Nc,
Doweu county, writes that they en-
dorse the Ocala platform unanimously.
Two hundred and forty nine new
charters had been issued by State Sec
rotary French, of Kansas, for the fiscal
year ending October 81. Yes, the ALI
ance is dying.
Bro. A. H. Perry, President of
Chatham County Alliance, asks us to
state that the regular quarterly meet
ing will be held on Thursday and Fri
day, January 9TH and 8th.
The action of the five Alliance
Democrats who signed the Address "
does not bind any one but Themselves.
They had no authority from the organi-
cation, and very few approve of such
things.
1t has been stated (as a BLIND
that cotton factories are not buying
cotton any faster than it Is consumed.
This is not true. They r buying
every bale they can, or having it
bought for them.
1.-THE Alliance is dying" says an
exchange. Yes, slowly, but surely
dying. But it is gratifying to know
that there is more hope of reform yet
left in the corpse than there is in the
carcass of the two parties.

THAT cIRcULAR~wHosE 1871.

Nearly a monthag the Mecklenbur9
Times made the discovery that the
Third party was sneaking around In
the State-that the National Alliance
had sent a "secret circular" to all the
Sub Alliances in the State, headed,
eve the undersigned pledge ourselves
to support a Third party in 1892"-that
the said red tape circular was being
signed by the Alliances almost to a
man" The Times stated that this
startling information Was sent to that
paper by an Allianceman. The Times
promised it's readers that "the red
tapped petition would be published in
the Times the next week"
Of course this discovery by our enter
prising neighbor, thrilled the Demo
cratic press of the State, as by an cleo
trical shock, and raised it on the
tremulous tip-toe Ofexcited expectancy.
Bro. Daniels, of the Chronicle especial
ly, became exceedingly nervous, and
day after day, with a boldness and
zeal commensurate with the despera-
ton of the situation, proclaimed the
danger of "this low-down, underhand,
cowardIy, sneaking, PROSECUTING meth
cd of politics"
The language employed by the
Chronicle to characterize this invasion
of the State by the Third party under
the supervision of the National ALI
ance, may not have been of the select
type for elegance, but it was certainly
as vigorous and emphatic as the most
pronounced anti third-partyite could
devise. 1t was immensely denuncia-
tory.
But where is that awful circular?
The Times has failed to fulfil its
promise. The ~expectant public is look
ing for an exposition of this reasonable
plot, concocted by the Alliance for
dragooning the State into a Third
party. Can't the Times and the
Chronicle givSus light or this mysteri-
Gus affair?
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, with its
accustomed desire to keep up with the
doings of the Alliance, began at once to
investigate the matter to ascertain what
these awful and terrible Alliance peo-
pie of..Mecklenburg county were doing.
We interviewed several and they knew
nothing about it. State Secretary
Barnes declared he was as innocent
and as ignorant of any such movement
as these rvo editors themselves.
A President of a Sub-Alliance and the
Secretary of the County Alliance of
Mecklenburg, were written to and they
solemnly aver that after diligent in
quiry, they'fa fail to find any trace of it.
As it was charged that the "red tape
circular" pUrported to have come from
National headquarters, we finally ap-
piled to President Polk and he knows
nothing of it, only what he learned
from the Chronicle. So, we inhibition
our vest and sit down to rest. These
papers "make us tired" We know a
number of people who believe that the
whole thing is "a campaign lie" But
we can assure them that the Times and
Chronicle will not let up on it until
they strike bottom on it, and of course
if they find it is a false charge they
will promptly correct it by properly
notifying the public. Can any of our
Mecklenburg brethren tell us anything
about this matter2 Viii the Times or
the Chronicle give us the circular2

BRIEF MENTION.

Peter Forester, President of
the Dredge Co.. is expected here
soon from New York.
The Dayton and Sutro schools
will have a union picnic at the
Horseshoe Lake, Thursday, June %.
The Dayton school will close
June %. The three extra days
will be taught to make up for lost
time.
The weather that mas been up
on US for the past week has made
one think this was the month of
December rather than June.
j. G. Kaufman, of Mason Val
ley, passed through here yesterday,
taking a trotting stallion to Carson
to put him in condition for the Fall
races.
The frosts of Tuesday and
Wednesday nights killed the pota-
toes, cabbage and tomato plants on
nearly all the Italian ranches on
the river.
j. F. Holland was in from Ma
son Valley Monday with some sam
Piles of Phoenix butter. 1t was
delicious. The stores here will
probably handle it soon.
-Longabaugh and Spooner were
here yesterday making preparations
to bring down drive of 5000 cords
of wood. The drive will be here be-
tween the 4th and 10th of next
month.
Two more shipments of butter
from the Mason Valley creamery
were made this week. The compa-
ny is now making two shipments a
week regularly, of about 1920 or
1900 pounds each.
-Gophers are destroying wheat
and other crops in Mason Valley,
and down the river they are clear
ing off large patches of alfalfa.
There are millions of them, and
they travel in droves of several
hundred.
The news of Harrison's nomi-
nation was received here yesterday
with much GOODNESS. Our people
had hopes that Alger might slide
in. The silver plank is also a wet
blanket. 1t means just what any
stump speaker may say it does.

Horse Thieves Caught,

Thursday morning Sheriff Bolts
ford, of Carson, Watt Marks, OF
California, G. II. Burnham, deputy
Sheriff of Eldorado county, Cal,
and Frank Mccullough arrived
here looking for two men named
Bowers and Clifford, who stole a
valuable mare from man named
Wackman, who lives at Elk Grove,
near Sacramento. The mare was
stolen on the night of the 3D., and
the men passed through here with
her about 5 o'clock Wednesday af-
ternoon, bound for Wadsworth.
They stopped at the Sutro icehouse
Wednesday night. Bottsford and
Marks followed and overlook them
about 20 miles below this place.
The men were armed, but Bolts
ford was almost on top of them and
had them covered before they had
a chance to get their guns. The
men were taken on to Carson, from
which place Durham started over
the mountains with them. They
acknowledge stealing the mare, but
Bowers says he can square the mat
ter with Wackman.

More silver Dollars for His Produce
and the Cost of the Coat WOn't Gre
ate Any GrumbIing.

The Democratic papers of the
Cleveland stripe land most of them
are turning in that direction now
are making frantic efforts to draw
the attention of the Democratic
farmers away from the money issue
and hold them to the one issue of
tariff reform. This, of course, is
for the purpose of making the can
didacy of Cleveland appear to be a
logical necessity. They imagine
they can blind the farmers of the
West and South to the fact that the
present Congress, which was elect
ed by phenomenal uprising of the
people to give them relief by re-
pealing the silver bullion bill of
the last Congress and restoring the
silver dollar as we'll as correcting
the Mckinley tariff, has utterly
failed to do anything for them, and
has given its sole attention to pre-
pairing the way for nominating
Cleveland at Chicago. This Con-
gress has betrayed its trust as no
other Congress has ever done. 1t
has denounced the Republican sill
yer bullion bill as the very climax
if iniquity and then refused to re-
peal or modify it. They promised
everything demanded in regard to
the tariff. They have done moth
ing but talk for five mortal months,
while, with a majority of $50, they
might have done what they wanted
in five weeks. 1t was not their
purpose to do anything for the peo-
ple-only to prepare the way for
their supremacy. They have far
outdone the last Congress in their
shameless disregard of the people.
There are honorable exceptions
among the individual mem ers.
But as whole it will stand pre-
eminently as the Congress of cow
ards, funkies and traitors.-Me

THAT NEW ROAD.
News From Denver Confederate s the
Probability of Its Construction.

A Denver special to the Salt Lake
Tribune reports there are certain in
dications which have cropped out
since Mr.. Clarke stopped in Denver
lately pointing to the proposition
that the Union Pacific is interested
in the new road to be built east from
San Francisco. Some years ago
when Charles Francis Adams was
in Denver, he admitted that the
Union Pacific had four or five sur
veys from its Ogden terminus to
San Francisco, and that some of the
routes were eminently practicable
1t is learned that the San Francisco
and Salt Lake Railway Company
have selected one of these routes
and have surveyors now on that line
running levels to estimate the grade,
well-known engineer named Cleve-
land having charge of the work.
1t is estimated that the line will
be in operation in three years from
July LIST. To guard against the new
road being gobbled by the Southern
Pacific and to secure the San Fran
cisco capitalists who have contrib
uted 100000, the stock is placed
in the control of trustees for ten
years, and none is to pass from the
hands of the board till the end OF
that period. The road will be built
upon cash basis.
