Las; spring a movement to raise money
for fitting monument to the late James
G.. Blaine was started at Augusta, Me. Mr..
Blaiues native town. 1t was thought that
$4,000 or $4,000 could be speedily raised.
Mr.. Blaine was the idol of the Maine
people, and their grief when he died was
acute. Lists were prepared, an associa-
ton with president, secretary and treas
urcr was formed, and the work of can
vassing for subscriptions was begun For
seven months the work was prosecuted
On Friday last the treasurer of the
Blaine Memorial association reported
that there had been subscribed and col
lected $1l5. of which 500 had been sub
scribed by = New York man. OF Names

which this paper has stated repeatedly The
removal Of the duty on lumber will be fol

the farmers alliance in this state is far
from being in as fourishing condition as
it was a couple of years ago. A great
many of the farmers who were once en-
thusiastic members of it have lost con-
tdence in it, and have Withdrawn from it.
There are, undoubtedly, many earnest
and sincere men still connected with it.
and in the beginning of the institution
very nearly all of its members entertained
the hope that it would be very beneficial
to them.
In many instances they wore unfortun-

responsible positions Men got Into
power who wanted to make money out of
the organization, and others were not sat

1t is doubtful if any alliance farmer can
show that hchas been benefited in any
respect by his connection with the alliance
organization Indeed, many Of them have
been losers to greater or less extent.

have made something out of their opnor-

A Tacoma, Wash, man named prof.
T. G. Plummer, who is engaged in the
Pacific coast volcanic eruption prediction
business, is the author of a scare
which has terribly upset the poo
pie of his city. He predicts that on Dec.

and the full moon is nearest the earth.
great tides will sweep all the Pacific
states and volcanic eruptions viii finish
whatever work Of destruction the waters
leave undone. A tcrrorized citizen of
Tacoma sent a copy of the prediction to
Prof Bernard, of the Lick observatory.
and asked his advice He wrote that the
predictor is.a crank and a humbug, and
no attention should be paid to him, and
closed his letter thus: There are other
crimes besides murder that people can be
lynched for, and this unnecessarily
frightening innocent communities BY false
prophecy should be one of them. Have
you no convenient trees up there and

Bishop Turner, Of Georgia, made an
extraordinary proposition 70 the Afro
American congress in Cincinnati, with
regard 10 the suppression of lynching.
He suggested that probably it would be
we'll for the respectable colored people of
the country to form themselves into a
secret society for the purpose of punish
ing those of their race who should be
found guilty of committing the infamous
crime that is almost invariably met with
lynching and continuing said: If you
can detect any one in the act, catch him,
and treat him as God did Cain Of old
put mark UTOn him. cut off his right
ear, brand the letter r on his cheek or
forehead, so that his infamous deed may
disgrace him through life and contemn
his memory when dead" The bishops
proposition. however well intended. will
not do. Secret societies cannot be allowed
to take the. place of the open court, nor
would the branding and turning loose of
the fends serve the ends of Justice. even
If the idea were not barbaric. Death,
speedily inflicted by the law, should be
the portion of the rayisher.
