The NJ. l.. Sunday school picnic at
Blacks grove Wednesday was a
grand success in point of numbers
in attendance and enjoyment. The
picnickers met at the church early
in the morning and proceeded to
the bridge at the footof River street
where W. c. Blacks steamer, The
Driftwood," met them and carried
them to the grove. Several trips
were necessary, as there was a big
crowd. Many went TO the grove in
buggies. The day was spent in
games, boat riding, music, etc. The
basket dinner was the most impor-
taut feature Of the day and was
heartily enjoyed by the hungry
crowd. The managers deserve much
credit for the manner in which they
looked after the comfort and safety
of the children.

VIII Farmers Ever Awaksn2 Z

Lieutenant Governor Daniels has dis.
tributed o circular in which there 10 a
good suggestion. Acting on the assump.
tion that United States bonds are being
issued FOR the sole purpose Of furnishing
investments for capitalists, which is no
doubt true, and that such issue IL q
detriment to the producers OF staple
products by reason Of the shrinkage in
values, which it causes, Colonel Daniels
suggests that on November "a, non-par.
tisan meetings be held In each school
district Of the state to take action on
the following resolutions and report the
result to members Of congress. Since the
Populists have not been sustained in
their fght against interest bearing bonds
it would seem that republicans ought to
take q hand in this matter and ask for
more bonds il they desire them. These
are the resolutions:
Resolved, That 40 citizens of Kansas we
protest against the issue Of any more bonds
by the national treasury under present con-
dibiOns.
Resolved, That our senators and repre-
sentatiVeS be requested TO make an effort 70
paSo an act providing that the principal Of
and interest on all bonds issued since jan
uary /, 1894, be paid from the prOOosds Of
tax levied on the property or the estates
of the millionaiEes.
Resolved, That she per capita eTpenseB
Of the national government, outside Of PEN
SionS and interest, should be at once re-
duCed to what IL was before the war, or 81
per Rnnum.

The State Alliance.

The Kansas State Alliance meets De-
oembsr 5 and 6, at Trades Assembly
hall, No. lis East Seventh street, To-
peks, and the State Alliance Office il
now on the second Aoor Of No. 70l West
Seventh street, two squares north OF
state capitol.
The most important period in the his
tory OF our order has arrived ss to our
present and future work, and demands
O conference OF our wisest and most
earnest members, and necessitatss the
attendance OF representatives from every
county in the state, therefore We be.
seeCh the officers and wide. awake MEM
bers in each county to call q special
nesting and see to it that at lsast one
delegate, and all advisory brothers and
sisters that can attend the state M eet-
ing come, and let as ell counsel together
Rs to our future course Of action. It iB
OF the highest Importance to the future
welfare OF the farmers and laborera of
this state that this order, with it's pro-
tactlve educational work, be continued
and become still more extended and Rg-
gressiVe till final relief is secured. To
that end let US have q grand meeting Of
all who are interested in the welfare Of
humanity and are willing to help in the
emancipation OF labor, and we will do
the best we can to tighten your expenses
and have an old.time Alliance love feast.
Be sure and take your railroad agents,

Wheat for Hogs.

The Armour Packing company, Of
Kansas City, has been experimenting in
the feeding OF Whest and corn to hogs
to determine the eRsct on the meat by
the two systems OF feeding. A compsrs-
tive report Of the experiments has been
sent to Secretary F. D. Coburn, Of the
Kansas agricultural department, show
ing that the percentage on wheat and
corn.fsd hogs do not vary much, except
in the yield OF lard, which is decidedly
in favor Of corn-fed hogs, but the meat
from the wheat, fed hogs is found to bs

per Annunn,

A survey Of the fleld shows that there
are more than 100000 P1pulists in Kan
Bss with their war paint on, and more
determined than ever TO stay in the fight
till national election iS won on reform
principles. Toe hundreds Of letters re-
CsiVed at the ADVOCATE Office indicate
that the cause has been strengthened in
stead Of weakened by the state cam
psign. The tone of all these letters
elbows that the writer's are not dlsoour-
sged but that they are provoked to rO-
nswsd energy. They are not particular
as to details but are determined not to
yield an iots from the main principles Of
the Omaha platform. The general cry
is ION with the fight" There are still q
few men in each nsighborhood whose in
telligenoe will lead them to see the error
OF their ways and the vicious tendencies
Of the republican party.
