How to Market.

1t is estimated that from $1,000, 600
to $4,000, 600 is annually sent out from
the western part of this state for vegeta-
bles, chickens and dairy produce. Yet
within a radius of 100 miles we can
procure the finest qualities of most of
the articles now imported. The chief
difficulty has been the absence of a
means by which producer and consum-
er could be brought together. Many
commission merchants wo uld prefer to
handle local produce, but they have to
supply their customers regularly and
promptly. Farmers come into town
in an unorganized and irregular way,
and hawk their vegetables from place
to place. The price cannot be estab-
lished, as they are as likely to come
into town when there is glut as
scarcity; and commission merchants
cannot depend upon regulated and
unfailing supply. Wherever markets
have been established and conducted
on sound principles and with good
management they bave been success.
We do not expect that consumers will
be able to buy direct from the produc-
ers to any great extent. What we aim
at is to bring the farmers and the
wholesale buyers together On such
terms that each can make profit.
and the whole value be kept in this
state instead of being sent away.-P.-I.

hasn't any doubt that the republicans
will elect the next President as well as
majority of the House, and that the
populists will not come into power be-
fore 1900, and maybe not until later.
Now isn't that really kind of the old
gentleman? He postpones the COM
ing Of the populists into power solely
to give the republicans another four
or eight years control of the country,
but warns them that their manage
ment of the government is going to re-
suit in the breaking up of the party.
Seriously speaking, Mr.. Peffer knows
that the republicans are bound to win
next year, unless there is very radi-
cal shifting of opinion within the next
twelve months; he also knows that
the populist movement is dead, speak
ing in national sense. His prophecy
of their getting control of the govern
ment is merely bit of humor, for
everybody except the populists whom
he probably sizes up to be gullible
enough to believe anything.

Women Turned the Scale.

Women have been potent political
factors at the late election in five
States. In Colorado, Wyoming, Ken
tucky, Illinois and New York they
have turned the scale for good govern
ment. Yet in Kansas and New York
woman suffrage has just been defeated,
in part, by Republican votes. Of
woman, in this election, it may be said,
as was said of her great Exemplar,
"She saved others; herself she could
not save" But parties, like individ-
