Is 1t Right?

Mrs. Garfield is reported to have
three hundred thousand dollars In
vested I'm United States bonds and
one hundred Thousand dollars in
other property, Yet our congress
voted her a pension of 5000 per
wear, and paid the doctor bill and
funeral expenses Of her husband.
We believe in ministering to the
widows and orphans, but there are
thousands Of widows that have done
lust as much for this country as
Mrs. Garfield THAT are suffering for
the necessaries of life that that are
compelled to pay taxes to furnish
this rich widow with more than she
needs.
Is this right? Yet the members
of congress who are constantly
telling the farmers that their de-
man,ls are unconstitutional and
class legislation passed this bill
unanimously. Do the presidents
widows form class And are laws
passet for their individual benefit
generally The people are becom-
ing tired of such laws and law
rnakers.-Allianee Farmer, Homer,

Needesha Register.
Congressman Thos. Watson, of
Georgia, in an interview published
it the Kansas City Star, says:
Our standing army is only 30, 600,
yet the Pinkerton's practically have
standing army Of armed men nun-
boring 5000 more men than the
army of the United States
Congressman Watson has decIar-
ed war upon the Pinkertons by
offering resolution to sscertain if
it is legal for private individuals to
maintain standing army and usurp
the police powers Of the several
states Mr. Watson Insists that 1T
is not only Illegal, but that it is un-
American and that sucn condition
Of affairs is disgrace to the people
of this country. Said Mr. Watson:
The Pinkertons will have to go,
and that before very long / am
satisfied that the Judiciary commit
tee will decide against them; and
then congress will go ahead and
pass a law which will make the
PinkertOn men outlaws should they
persist in their present methods.
The PInkerton thugs would have
been excluded from this state had it
not been for Bill BucIan, Of Wyan-
elotte county The railroad en-
pEoyes' Legislative board bad votes

Farmers Alliance Meeting.

On Monday last the members Of this
association held a meeting at the Dis
trict Courthouse In this place, being
represented by duly authorized dele
gates, about sixty eight in number.
From all we have been able to learn,
the meeting was held for the purpose
of giving expressions Of preference for
a US. Senator aud a number of local
and District appointments. The fra
ternity soon discovered that the di
vergence of their views was too great
to be reconciled, and after ~canvassing
matters for a time, adjourned without
doing anybhing further than agreeing
to disagree and to leave things as they
were. This is perhaps wise, for Ii
must be realized By them soon or late,
that the less they have TO do with pol
itics, the better, for the promotion oi
the declared purposes of their organf-
cation. The ancient order of free and
accepted Masons have held together
Id fraternal concord for thousands oil
years, but If tomorrow, they attempt
TO NEEDLE as an organization in poll

Presidential Nominations.

1t seems impossible TO p~rognosticate
who may be the nominees of the two
great parties. On the side of the Dem
ocratic party 1t loekssas If the chances
lie between Cleveland and Hill. In
our mind, c. would hare had no very
formidable opposition had he never
written his famous letter in opposition
to the free coinage of silver. The
Farmers' Alliance, nOW grown TO be
very strong Ia some of the States, had
taken a different stand, and at once
determined not to support lin. Hill
has been more reticent. or, it may be
more polite On the subject, aud conse-
quently doomed up very suddenly into
q candidate of importance. He has
taken the pains, too, to visit some of
the Southern States, which no doubt
was intended to have a bearing upon
his candidacy. In looking over the
party journals one Is at great loss to
estimate tho probable chances of either.
On the other hand. the Republican
party is far more prolific of Presiden-
tial materials. Harrison, of course,
has his satellites whose light is never
obscursd. His army of Office. holders
made him strong ubiquitously, al
though not strong enough to give pos
tive assurance of party preference In
all the States. In looking over the
campus anGYtius, we think. it plain he
has more declared supporters than has
any a possible candidate. But put
ting all together, he is far from having
a majority. We believe that his
strength would at once fail, if Blaine
would announce himself or authorize
his friends to say he would accept the
Presidency. He is beyond doubt the
favorite Of his party. His views of
the leading topics which must enter
into the campaign, such as the silver
coinage question, the Mckinley tariff,
and Internal improvements. together
with others that have attracted nation
al attention during the present admin.
istration, are each and all well defined.
We are inclined to think, this being
the case, that, the Republican party
has pretty we'll made up its mind as to
whether he fully comes up to the stand
ard demanded By 1t. It is the absence
of this we'll known status on all these
subjects, which initiates against Cleve-
land and Hill. The Democratic party
is at a loss Il know what attitude
touching them. will best promote its
chances in the election. Cleveland
would evidently lose more than one
half million of votes, on account of bis
known opposition to the free coinage
question. From one end of this coun-
try to the other the public mind is dis.
turbed on these great questions of civil
polity, and that too regardless of party
distinctions.
