Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-04-20

Bro. Hanna, editor of the Kansas
F. A. and /. u, gives the following
as the first two leading foundation
principles of the Farmers Alliance ::
EQUAL SUFFRAGE. ballot is a
natural means of selfprotection, and
as such, every intelligent, law-abid-
ing person is entitled to its use. To
be governed without having voice
in that government is condition of
subjugation adapted only to those
who are incompetent to exercise the
right of suffrage. No legislation
can be just that excludes one-half
the people before legislation begins.
TEMPERANCE. = Science teaches
that the habitual drinker, though
not a confirmed drunkard, is con-
stantly under an alcoholic influence
that stupefes his intellect, paralyzes
his will power and fosters his baser
passions at the expense of his moral
nature. Under it's influence, legis-
lators have enacted pernicious laws,
which, in their sober moments, they
have condemned. Persons addicted
to the use of intoxicants are ever at
the mercy of designing men, and
should not be intrusted with the sa-
cred responsibility of government.

The Kansas City Star remarks
that the Republicans need not crow
so Justify over municipal victories
since the rural population did not
vote. Anarchists have their strong
holds in the cities, and very natur-
ally they will consort with the party
that defes law and authority.

If the Douglass house was simply
bent on maintaining it's rights, why
did it not wait until the supreme
court rendered a decision That
famous charge up the capitol stair
way was too previous to relieve the
charges of wanton breach of the
peace and of strong anarchistic ten

Building from the Top Downward.
ISL. I,onis Globe Democrat. ]

ISt. Louis Globe Democrat ~.
A great building OF twelve stories in
course OF construction in Chicago presents
sight that would dumfoud an architect
of the old school. The steel skeleton
framework is finished up to the twelfth
story, and stonework is done from the
foundation to the first story. Then there
is skip of two stories, and the exterior
walls of terra Gotta, in imitation of stone,
have been started at the third story and
are being run up from that point. In
other words, the exterior OF the upper part
of the building is being completed while
the lower stories are mere skeletons OF up
rights and Cross pieces but being OF iron
they furnish strong enough support for
the operation of the building. This meth
cd of construction is becoming very COM
mon in Chicago, and it is thus explained:
According to contract, the building must
be ready for occupancy by next May, and
the contractors cannot afford 70 waste any
Of the brief time allowed them. The walls
of the first three stories are to be OF stone,
and as this portion of the work will not
be completed for two months yet, the con-
tractors started the terra Gotta section OF
the walls where the stone Will leave of and
are travelling upward, leaving the stone
work of the lower to follow. The terra
Gotta blocks are so made that theyft exact
ly around the big upright steel beams
At the same time steel rods, Or anchors, as
they are called, are run through the wings
of the beams, thereby anchoring the form
er to the latter. It is these anchors that
hold the terra Gotta walls in place and
furnish the supports for the blocks to rest
upon.

BENNETTsvILLE, October 5, 1898.
To the Cotton Planters and Members
of the Alliance of the Cotton States:
This has been a bad year for cotton;
with storms and floods and droughts,
with the elements and seasons out OF
joint, as it were, the crop is short.
There will be no cotton to pick worth
speaking of after the lst of November
in the Atlantic States. The Texas crop
10 reported to he from 1000 to half a
million bales less than last year. The
price of cotton is about the average cost
of production. American spinners are
in q large measure out Of the market
on account of the impossibility of pro-
curing money on time loans to invest
in cotton, and the price is governed
almost entirely by what Europe will
pay for it.
Now what are you going to do? he
that provideth not for his own house
hold "hath denied the faith and is
worse than an infidel." The cotton
farmer can command the situation by
holding on to his cotton Until trade
conditions improve, and those who
want it and are obliged to haveit, come
after it with their money.
Hold on to every bale of cotton where
you can possibly 90 go without injury
to your creditor until the price ad.
vances. Make every honorable effort
to meet your obligations, but hold your
cotton you are entitled to higher
price if there is any virtue in the law
of supply and demand. .
There is neither justice nor reason in
the farmer always sacrificing himself
that others may leap to fortune. But
present action is not all that is neces'
sary; plan for the future. The farmer
buys too much; be should be always 8
seller; prepare to reduce the cotton
acreage for next year and raise your
own corn, wheat and bacon at home.
Not until you do this will you be inde'
pendent and able to fix your own
price.
take this opportunity of appealing
to the press throughout the cotton
States to help the farmers in theil
righteous efforts to procure living
price for their cotton before it all gets
out of their hands. I take this oppor
tunity of appealing to our creditors K
do what they can to help us in this
effort to prevent the sacrifice of oul
years labor. w. D. EVANS,
President Farmers State Alliance O

PRESTO, CHANGE!

The sale of n controlling interest in
the Citizens S~treet-railroad Company to
r. T. Mcdonald is not the least surpris-
ing of recent developments. 1t shows
either that the late owners of the road
purchased it for purposes of explOita-
tion and speculation, or that they have
become alarmed at the prospect of COM
petition and litigation and have on
cluded to unload. The interests of the
public and the city are not likely to
suffer by the change. The new owner
Ia a very enterprising man. progressive
and aggressive, and accustomed to suc-
cess in whatever he undertakes. He is
experienced in street-railroad affairs,
and probably knows what he is about.
The proposition of the Citizens COM
pany to convert all its lines into electric
lines, with double tracks, and to make
important extensions, is understood to
have originated with him and tofore-
shadow his policy. What other features
his policy may contemplate does not ap-
pear at present, but it is likely to BIO
very liberal.
The city lie to be congratulated that
the fears entertained by very many that
the granting of a new franchise would
bar the way to further improvements in
the service pending the litigation sure
to grow out of the present situation are
likely to prove groundless. 1t remains
to be seen whether the general rejoicing
over the granting of the new franchise
and the large benefits it confers OH the
city have been premature or not. II is
very evident that the new Citizens
company does not intend to abandon
any of its rights or to let the city realize
the benefits of the new franchise if it
can help it. Mr.. Mcdonald may intend
to deal very literally with the public or
the city, but he probably intends doing
it in his own way. The aggressive man.
ner in which he has started in on a
policy of extension and donble-tracking
of the Citizens company's lines indi-
Gates that a realization of the benefits
of the new charter may be deferred for
some time yet. Meanwhile. let US be
duly thankful for the nearer and more
assured benefits of an extension and i'm
provement of the electric service.

THE action OF Commissioner Langs-
dale in turning over a State monument
To o citizens association to unveil a Dor
ton of it will strike those who think of
it as an impertinence. 1t is a State
monument. and when any portion of it
is to be dedicated OF unveiled the repre-
sentative of authority in the State, the
Governor, should have been notified,
that he might take such action as he
deems appropriate. Perhaps, in the
remarkable authority he has arrogated
to himself in regard to the building of
the monument. he has lost sight of tho
chief executive of Indiana, and will
even order out the militia to partially
dedicate a monument which will not be
completed for at least five OF six years.

THE German Tribune argues that the
new s~treet-railway charter is invalid,
and in support of this view quotes from
the ordinance of 1864 granting the Citi-
zens' %company's charter, as follows:
Section Is. The right to operate said
railway shall extend to the full time of
thirty years from the passage hereof; n
the said city of Indianapolis shall not.
during all the time to which the privileges
hereby granted 70 said company shall ex-
tend. grant to or confer upon any person or
corporation any privileges which will I'M
pair or destroy the rights and privileges
herein granted to the said company.
The Tribune makes the point that
under this provision the city cannot
grant a new franchise to any other COM
pany at any time during the thirty
years. life of the Citizens %cOmpany's
charter. This is independent of the
question whether the Citizens charter
is for thirty years or thirty-seven. ~
