Altrurfans Buy Large Tracts Of Land
i'm California.

San Francisco Chronicle.
For sons time past representatives Of the
Altrurian Society IL this State have been
viewing lands la various parts of the State
for the purpose of choosing a suitable site
for the location of an Utopian colony. Ii
has come to light that at a recent secret
meeting OF the Grand State Council. held
at Berkeley, decisive steps were taken and.
If the present plans are carried out, a col
ony will soon be established.
The committee on lands have been au-
thorized TO purchase two parcels, one for a
city and the other for numbering purposes.
both in Sonoma county, near Santa Rosa.
The model cooperative city will be located
six miles northeast of Santa Rosa. on "A
tract containing several hundred acres OF
rich garden land, with abundant water and
a natural reservoir which, with little labor,
will afford sufficient water power for all
municipal and manufacturing purposes.
The ulnber tract is ten miles southwest
of Santa Rosa 1t is heavily timbered. and
a large sawmill, with a capacity OF 10000
feet per day, is now on ID. ready for the
society to work Along the stream from
which the water TO be used for numbering
purposes is drawn are many little valleys
which will be the sites of the woodnen's
homes in the summer.
Arrangements will be made as soon as
possible to commence the cooperative life.
as about ali that has been in the way was
the lack of a site. II was also decided
at the meeting that the Grand Council pass

an Altrurian paper, a printing press and
plant having already been purchased. Rev.
Edward 3. Payne was unanimously elected
editor. He proposes TO give his whole life
TO the cause of Aitruria, and will therefore
eventually resign from the pastorate OF
the Unitarian Church at Berkeley TO devote
his time solely to Altrurianism.
There are now about 600 Altrurians
ready to move at once to the colony. and

In the course of this same Charlottesville
speech, Mr.. Brookshire says that Accent
wheat is due to the fact that nations pur-
chasing wheat have retaliated by refusing
to buy American breadstuffs- Does not Mr..
Brookshire know that this is dreadfully

upon the ignorance of Eighth-district vot-
ers to an extent that they do not know.
by reading market reports. that the prices
of wheat in Chicago and New York have
been so high a part of the season as to
check expectation and that the price in
Liverpool to-day is the Chicago price with
the bare cost of transportation added?
During the Harrison administration, Mr..
Brookshire should know. a reciprocal treaty
was made with Spain by which the duties
on flour sold in Cuba were reduced from
$44 a barrel to 81, while other countries
paid the higher duty, and that under this
treaty a market was made for nearly a
million barrels of -four where there was
none before. Does he not know that SINH
lar arrangements were made with Brazil
and Germany, ard that more wheat and
farm products were exported in 1891 and
1892 than during any period in our COM
mercial history? IL MI. Brookshire does not
know these facts, he is too ignorant to
represent a district in Congress-. If he
knows them and misrepresents them, he is
too dishonest to be Entrusted with the in
terests of a constituency The best quality
of lying will not save Mr.. Brookshire this
year, but the stupid falsehoods which con-
stituted the greater part of his Crawfords-
vile speech will increase the plurality of
Mr.. Faris. 1t is no time to fool with a
~disgusted constituency.

AN OMNIBUS FAILURE.

The Sentinel has made a big splurge
about the attendance on the Democratic
meetings Saturday. which had been an
nounced as Democratic day. Nobody will
be deceived by 1t. In nc place where a
meeting was held, except in Terre Haute,
ton. was there anything like a fair at
tendance. In this city not enough of the
faithful could be rallied to fill a quarter of
Masonic Hall-so few that the speakers an
nounced hey would not make an appear
ance. Reliable reports from every quarter
are to the same effect. Private letters sus-
tain such reports. well-advertised speakers
had but tens of hearers where they have
usually had hundreds. Men who have been
Democrats did not come out to hear the
excuses and explanations of leaders who,
two years ago. promised everything from
higher wheat to higher wages and cheaper
store goods. This is significant, because
it indicates disgust. They have been fooled
and they know it, and evidently they do
not care to be fooled again. Personal eff
fort may get the most Of them to the polls,
but, SO far as meetings thus far are con-
cerned. the Indiana Democrats have taken
to the woods. as did the Democrats in
Maine and Vermont on election day. Dem
ocratic day was a dismal failure all along
the line-a failure such as the leaders have
never before experienced. In every town
where the leaders held a meeting Saturday
the people know that 1T was a failure, and
the false reports of the Sentinel of great
and enthusiastic meetings will simply in
tensify the distrust and disgust. 1t is not

Elisha VOORHEES, Brookshire. of the
Eighth district, seems to cling to the opin-
ion that falsehood is more effective than
truth in the speeches he is making to his
constituents. 1t has been in the past: but
in the past his falsehoods were largely in
regard to the future. Two years have
elapsed, and now his constituents have
learned, as he will know when the votes
shall be counted, that his statements and
pledges of two years ago are falsehoods
which have brought Industrial disaster to
the country. But Mr.. Brookshire should
know by this time that there are false
hoods which men of ordinary intelligence
know are such. Such a falsehood is his
statement that the Harrison administra-
ton found $lo4, 000.o 600 in the treasury and
left a deficit of 5000 600. To make such a
statement to an intelligent audience is
well-nigh idiotic. All intelligent men know
that the Harrison administration paid off
