BENTON, Mo-, Aug. Cat p. m. four
masked men rode up to the bank in this
place and two of them dismounted, while
the others remained outside. The men,
on entering the bank, presented revolvers
at Cashier Smith and ordered him to
hand over the cash in the bank. The
cashier gave the men about 81 1900, which
they placed in a bag, and, after caution
ing Smith to remain inside the building,
they left. The men had hardly left the
building before Cashier Smith gave the
alarm, but, before d posse could be gath

A RESIDENT of Hiawatha, Kan. after
suffering from aching teeth, went to a
dentists the other day and gave strict
orders what was to be done. Chloro-
form was administered by the attend
ing physicians and the dentist, after
having operated on his patient forty
five minutes, extracted eighteen teeth
at one sitting. None of them were less
than one and half inches long, while
his jaw teeth were near sizing up with
those of yearling colt. He says there
are twenty more teeth firmly bedded in
his lower jaw that must come out, the
kick of the dentist to the contrary not
withstanding.

Two HoM1Na pigeons of Springfield,

hundred-mile record, making the jour

ought to result in the more extensive

New YORK, Aug. 6-The announce.
ment that Judge Rumsey of Rochester
had denied the application of City Attor-
ney kiehle, of Rochester, for manila
mus to compel the supervisors to make an
superintendent of the Assembly districts,
under the reappoFtionment law recently
passed, on the ground that the constitu-
tional provisions in certain respects had
been disregarded, is a subject of serious
discussion among the Democrats.
Simon w. Rosendale, Attorney General
OF the State of New York, says, in an in
terview:
The decision does not surprise me very
much. 1t is a case Of politics all the way
through. l believe the reappo rtionment
bill, as passed by the last Legislature, is
within the provisions of the Constitu
ton"
''Do you think the Court of Appeals
will take that view," was asked
II don't know; I hope they WILL" he
replied.
THE citizens and voters of this State
have been deprived of just reapportion-
meht for good many years, and they
have demanded new apportionment. The
last Legislature gave it to them, and l
believe that the Democratic majority in
the Legislature was obtained chiefly
through a desire upon the part of the peo-
pie to get proper apportionment.
81 think the apportionment is reason
ably fair. OF course, it cannot be expect
ed that there would not be few excep-
tions. The act of SO large body of men
as the Legislature is not not likely to be
as finely drawn in every point as the judi
cial act of judge making decision ON Il
case at law. 1t is as fair an apportion-
ment as could be made under the circum-
stances"

An Historic Painting.

A painting of the infant Jesus in the
possession of a New York family has a
curious history. 1t was sold to mem
Der of the family many years ago, and
the merchant declared his belief that it
was Guido Rene, although he was too
honest to certify to the fact. Years
later the purchaser saw in a print shop
an engraving Of a madonna and child
and recognized reproduction of part
of his picture. He turned the picture
over to a cleaner of oil paintings, and
the latter, on taking off the frame, dis
covered part of the canvas doubled
upon itself. Spreading out the whole
canvas, he began to scrape at the point
where, according to the engraving, the
madonna should be. In due time he was
rewarded for the madonna's face ap-
peared, and the painting was plainly
the original of the engraving. The lat
ter was labeled as from Guido Rene.

PROGRESS OF THE FIGHT.

The great Presidential campaign,
which is interviewer with local issues
and men, continues on its weary way.
We wish it was over. Every inch of
ground is being fought for by the three
contending armies. The tariff issue,
which is a big one, does not figure in
the fight to any great extent. The
people are tired of the methods of
the old line politicians. They want
something more than a fight on
it; they want it whipped off the
earth. The force bill is treated as
a ghost, and it deserves to be. The
financial question is the great one. The
tax question is another one. Free COIN
age of silver and a graduated income
tax are the watchword. More money
is paramount. The people favor the
election of the President and Senators
6y the people. The people want to get
loose from these powerful monopolies
that are sucking their life blood. They
are determined to get rid of Pinker-
tons army. They want justice be-
tween labor and capital. They want
just prices for their products according
to supply and demand, and they r
going to have it. They want some
thing that is something. A mere
wrangle over the tariff does not, will
not satisfy them, and they are kicking
hard and constantly.

Alliance from politics, had better read
up a little on the objects and aims of
the organization. We published In
last issue, an article by Capt. Alex
ander, on the subject of the Alliance
and Politics, to enlighten those who
do not understand, but undertake to
say what the Alliance should or should
not do.
1.-THE Alliance is an organization for
mutual protection just as the Chamber
of Commerce is an organization for a
similar end. Does not the Chamberfof
Commerce find it legitimate and neces-
sary to petition the Legislature and
Congress in matters of railroad dis
ordinations, legal rates of interest
and various other thingsR And be-
cause the. Chamber of Commerce does
this Is it denounced for meddling in
politics?
The Alliance is struggling to ascer-
tain and adopt the best methods of
agriculture and devise means for break
ing up the credit system and oppres-
sive combines. 1t is an agricultural
organization to protect and benefit
farmers. Yet has it not a right and
is it not necessary for it to take action
i'm political matters that affect the
farmers9
HAS not a farmers organization the
same right to NEEDLE in politics as a
merchants organization?
THE Alliance is obliged 70 med
die in politics. and if it does not med
die in politics it cannot protect the
farmers from many of the greatest
evils that threaten the cause of agri
culture.
TRUSTS, monoplies and railroad dis
ordinations are matters of the greatest
Importance to farmers, and they have
a right and should exercise it in devils
ing means of relief"

THE SAME SONG WITH VARIA-
TONS.

Conservative Democrats and others
estimate the crowd Of "Tnird party
ites," at all the way from five to ten
thousand. But the "sky scrapers,"
who had chilIs all day, seem to be
"away off"
Col. Greek Orlando Andrews, of the
NeWs and Observer, puts the crowd at
z, 1000, one third of them being Raleigh
people" There was hardly one hun
dred Raleigh people on the ground)
Then again the Colonel gets off some
thing about the crowd ''dwindling
down to 1900, and a good many going
up and shaking hands with Gen.
Weaver, but adds that 1.-THE great
volume of the crowd left the park at
once" Col, Greek Oh! says the meet
ing twas only a ripple on the surface"
Capt. Samuel Alliance Ashe says
editorially in the NeWS and Observer,
that "the Third party strength thus
m~anifesting itself was less than 1900.
He says there were probably Z, 800 PEG
pie on the ground" In the same edi-
torial he says 1--WE conclude that 1 500
would cover the number of Third party
people,"
The local man of the Chronicle,
whose title has not been made public,
but who will be a colonel when he gets
older, says the crowd numbered z, 900,
one third Democrats" He also SAYS
$50 Democrats anne in a body from
Johnston comfy.
Col. Frederick Annanias Odds tele-
graphed the Wilmington Messenger by
mail, that the crowd numbered /, Co.,"
according to estimates of people on
the sidewalks. He says he also got a
non partisan estimate from Mr.. T. R.
Purnell," who said "about 3,OOO.'
when did T. r. Purnell become a
non-partisan0 Again Col. Odds says:
"Some thought 2, 500 was more nearly
correct" Later in the day the Colonel
sent a grapevine special to the Messen-
ger. He said: Better estimates of
the crowd put it at 1000" "There
were only 1000 real members of the
party present"
The correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal telegraphed over a column to
his paper. He says he sat on the
grass to write his report, being refused
permission to sit on the speakers
stand" He also says "ugly threats
were made against him by Third party
men," It seems that he was not shown
as much courte-y in North Carolina as
Gen. Weaver was in Georgia. They
didn't ven treat him to a shower of
eggs. The Journal man says: "Not
exceeding 1000 Third party men were

THE VOTE.

Governor Northen, of Georgia, has
written a letter to a negro Cleveland
Club in Illinois telling them that they
have many good reasons why they
should vote the Democratic ticket, and
advising them to do so.
The Atlanta Journal of the 26th of
September says:
AT the recent Arkansas State cleo
ton thousands of negroes voted the
Democratic ticket.
The same thing occurred at the
Alabama election in August.
In our present campaign we see
some of the most influential negroes in
Georgia on the stump for Governor
Northen and the restO of the Democratic
ticket.
There is nothing strange about all
this. The negro is interested in good
home government, and his interest in
it is increasing every year as he accu-
initiates property and comes to a bet
ter understanding of the fact that his
welfare is involved in that of the en-
tire community.
Thousands of negroes in Georgia
will vote the Democratic ticket in DC
tOOer because they are convinced that
its success means good government
and because they know that they can
rely on their white Democratic friends
for fair and liberal treatment"
When we remember how the. Demo
cratic press of the South has aottsed
the negro and how they have talked
about negro supremacy" the negro
party" 1.-The white mans party" this
all sounds very strange. But the very
fact that they are bidding for the negro
vote, that they have already secured
it in two Southern States, is conclusive
proof that the negro vote is divided.
1t will go solidly for any party
again. 1t is well-better for the ne
groes Observation-Disclosures for the coun,
try. You need not fear negro su-
premacy" in n party any longer. No
party can throw it at another. All are
guilty-all are going to get a share of
the colOred vote.

THE AGRICULTURAL PRESS.

For long time we have been amused
and vexed on account of the too CON
sentative tone of the great agricul-
tural pagers of the country. Howthey
could profess to be conducted in the in.
terest of the farmers and at the same
time quietly permit robbery to go on
unehallenged, was more than we could
understand. Many of them seemed to
think that the whole duty of the
farmer was to raise a bale of cotton, a
thousand pounds of tobacco, twenty
barrels of corn, thirty bushels of wheat
or a barn full of fine horses, hogs or
cattle. It.didn't seem to concern them
If the farmer was forced to sell the
products of the farm at half the cost
of production. They seemed oblivious
of all laws needed by the producer, or
all bad laws that he did not need. But
time changes all things. The agricul-
tural press r changing. Many OF
them waited until the farmers found
out the trouble themselves, it is true,
