at this time as to desire to invest such
an immense amount of capital in the
interest of its members; for, bear in
mind, the advocates Of the scheme
say 10 us that is designed to build up
and strengthen the Alliance, because
only members of the order will be en-
titled to that wonderful rebate on
purchases. How these New York
millionaires do love the Alliance all
at once. Can you think of any pur-
pose they can have in viewl We can.
They desire to swallow the order and
get it out of the way. They undoubt-
edly think this will be be easier and
cheaper than to defeat it in a square
fight at the polls. This is another of
the purposes of the company which,
as Mr.. Snyder says, is but poorly
understood by the people," and it is
one with which he, being Republi-
can Alliance man, is probably In
hearty sympathy.

SPECIAL TO EDITORS OF Reform PAPERS.
There will be meeting of the
Kansas Reform Press Association
some time after the meeting of the
st. Louis conference probably dur
ing the first week of March. The
Alliance Tribune is in error in an
nouncing the date positively as March
3. Brother Mcdowell misunderstood
us in regard to this matter. The
meeting may be at the time named,
but we have not yet heard from the
president as to tie exact date.
It is desired that every editor of a
reform paper in Kansas will SO arrange
his business as to be able to attend
this meeting, as business of import
IHnce will come up for consideration.
It is desired to take steps by which
our reform papers may be benefited,
not only in their editorial work, but
in business way as well, and pre-
liminsries have already been ar
ranged whereby this end may be
accomplished if all reform parers will
unite with us and put their shoulders
to the wheel for the good of all.
There should be no selfshness or ri
vslry in the ranks Of our reform
press. We have a great work to do
during the coming year, and we
should get together and unite upon
the best method Of doing it, and then,
with one accord, concentrate our COM
blned power for its accomplishment.
1t would not be wise to disclose the
measures that have been taken to ad-
vance our business interests. These
will be fully presented at the meet
ing. The National Association at St.
Louis will probably perfect these
measures, and every reform editor in
Kansas will find it to his interest to
be present at the March meeting.

BINDER TWINE FROM HOME GROWN
MATERIAL,

MAAGASAhns
In another column will be found
the advertisement Of the Nebraska
Binder Twine Company, advertising
binder twine from home grown fibre.
This company will have a certain
amount of twine to dispose of to
Kansas farmers this year, and we
have the assurance of a representa-
tive Of the company that, if the bust
ness should prosper and the company
should receive sufficient encourage
ment from Kansas people, other factor
les will be started in this state, and
home grown Kansas fibres manufac-
tured into binder twine for the use Of
Kansas farmers.
There is no kind Of doubt that the
National Cordsge Company, through
its ally, the National Union Com
psny, will endeavor TO freeze out the
home institution. Binder twine made
from fibres grown in foreign countries
will undoubtedly be offered in this
markets where the Nebraska twine is
for sale at figures below cost Of pro-
duction. You know that we are told
that the National Union Company is
designed to be Of great benefit to the
people. It is designed to furnish
them cheap goods, and then it gives
a rebate, too; and the suckers all bite
at these cheap goods and these re-
bates and help TO freeze out all home
establishments like this one in Ne
braska. By consulting other articles
in this paper the generous character
Of the trust and its disposition to
''help" the people will be discovered.

LOOK OUT FOE BREAKERS.

The reform press has frequently
warned the people that the present
dangers to the Peoples party are not
from the outside. Several papers
have uttered these words of warning
and have cautioned the people to keep
a sharp lookout for breakers. 1t will
be acknowledged, we think, that The
ADVOCATE does not often strike in the
dark. We are not often hasty, and
we do not speak as q rule until we
have q good solid basis for what we
have to say; and we think the time
has come for us to utter a preliminary
word Of caution, and suggest to the
people all over the state that they
keep their eyes and ears open. There
are breakers ahead. THE ADVOCATE
is not popular in certain quarters be-
cause it cannot be used" But we
are not seeking either popularity or
Office, and when we discover any
devilment the people are going to
hear Of it. We are opposed to trick
cry and jobbery and Doodle politics
in our own party as well as any other,
and while we have a means of reach
ing the people we shall expose these
things whenever we learn of their
existence no matter who may be hurt.
We have not carried our investiga-
tions far enough as yet to Justify the
use Of names, but we will say this
now: there is Doodle in Kansas.
Schemers have charge of it. Their
emissaries are to day scattered all
over the state. They are very inno-
cent and very oily tongued fellows;
and you will not talk with them long
until You will be able to see that they
have something on their minds. Draw
them ont, but don't let them draw you
in. While we are not ready to say
any more just now, we believe this
much is necessary to be said because
We desire that others may be on their
guard as well as ourselves. In short,
we don't wish to do all the watching
or hunt up all the devilment. We want
the help Of the people, and we prom
ise not TO be found wanting in the
time of need. Do not look upon this
as sensational or regard it as a scare.
You will wake MP TO its reality in
good time. LOOK OUT!

THE PLATFORN.

necessity of placing some particular
plank in our platform, we still re-
main Of the opinion expressed some
time ago that the one great necessity
ls to simplify. We are in favor Of
many reforms that we would not
name in a platform. II is not neces-
ssry to name them. The proper time
to make demands upon q party is
when it is in position to grant the
things demanded. We have tried the
old parties long enough to know that
there is no reform in them upon any
question. Let us try a new one, and
il that does no better, drop it and try
again. The great difficulty with the
American people is that they are
party idolsters. Let them forsake
their idolstry, and be governed in
the exercise Of the elective franchise
by good sense and sound judgment
instead Of party prejudice, and they
will soon reach a solution Of fthe prob
lems now confronting them.
We have given space to several Of
the communications advocating this
plank and the other as the one thing
needful, and still we do not believe
any Of them are needed.
Members Of the Peoples party
should remember that, in order to
gather to itself the numbers neces.
sary to success, there are many diff
erent industrial organizations that
must unite. In order to unite there
should be as few things as possible
presented concerning which differ
ences may arise. Each must be will
ing to concede something, and none
should be required to give assent to
propositions to which they have
reasonable objections. For this
reason the fewer the propositions pre-
sented the better. What is a plat
form worth without success at the
polls? Let the advocates OF each of
the many plsnks that have been sug-
gested succeed IN securing their in
corporation into the platform of the
party, and let the party fail Of success,
and what has any one gsined3 On
the other hand leave all the multi
tudinous questions now undergoing
out of the platform. Let
all the various elements that are dis
satisfied with present conditions come
together and unite upon one or two
single propositions concerning which
there is little difference of opinion
among the industrial classes, and go
before the people upon these and sue
ceed, and the party will then be in
position to grant reforms that may be
demanded either in the interest Of
the whole people, or Of any special
element Of our population. Success
is the one thing most needful, and, in
our judgment, the party may be
trusted TO do ample justice to all
whenever it is in a position to do so.
II it does not we will then favor i'm

EFFECTS OF HEAT.
Summer Vacations and Nerve
Tonics ContEasted.

The expense as well as the impos-
sibility Of leaving ones business
makes it entirely out of the question
for many people to take vacation,
however bad they may need it. In
all cases where one can afford it, a
vacation is propably preferable to
tonics; but for the tens of thousands
who can take no rest, the brain and
nerve tonic of modern medical
science is an indispensable safeguard.
Nothing that is known to the med
ical profession to-day is the equal of
Pe-ru-na in the cure or prevention Of
all'derangements due to hot weather.
Pe-ru-na gives new vigor to the tired
brain, strength and quiet to the weak
ened nerves, and as nearly supplies
the need of vacation =, to the over
worked man Or woman as it is pos
sible for any remedy to do. Pe-ru-na
is a reliable specific for nervous pros
tration, nerve exhaustion, sleepless-
ness, and chronic malaria.

WHAT TIE FORCE Bill IS.


One of our republican exchanges
declared the other day, in the face of
the Lodge bill and the national plat
form of its party, that the democratic
denunciation of the republican force
BIZ is ".all moonshine" and that the
republicans shave no force BILL"
A copy of it lies before us as we
write, and a more outrageous measure
was never framed. 1t proposes to
give the entire control of congression-
al elections in the states to "cheif
supervisors" with the choosing of
who the people of the state have
nothing to do.
These chief supervisors have no
term of office. They arctic hold for
life and they are tonominate or select
local supervisors, members of canvass
ing or returning boards and special
deputy marshals at pleasure in such
numbers as the exigency of controll-
ing the election requires. These su-
pervisors and armed special deputies
are empowered to make ''house to
house canvasses" and domiciliary Wis
its, invading the homes of the people
in the capacity of armed spies of the
District of Columbia politicians.
They are also to take charge of the
polls and make returns to the chef
supervisors. These returns are to be
canvassed by the Federal returning
boards and on these returns the clerk
of the house is to be compelled to
make up the members elect. If he
accepts the returns of the state au-
thorities against those of the federal
returning boards, he is fined from
81 600 to 5000 and sent to the peni-
tentiary from one to five years.
The chief supervisors, holding Office
for life in spite of the people of the
states, can thus. control the vote, ap-
pointing and ar11ing as many politi-
clans as they please for special deputy
marshals at salaries from SIS TO So a
day. And if the deputy marshals
find any difficult i'll controlling, the
United States army can be called. IL
to support the chief supervisor and
his returning boards. This is the
purpose the republicans declared il
their national platform they "woulc
never relent" until they have acconp
lished it.
Yet we find republican papers, anc
many of them no doubt believe it, as
serting that the republicans "have ne
force bill'' and that the democratic
denunciation of it is "all moonshine.
