Congressional Extravaganza.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

The funeral of the Illinois Con
gresham on Thursday was another
example of cxtravagant expenditure.
Its exact cost has not vet been added
up, but as Illinois is not very near
at hand. it vas probably at least
$4,000. Whenever a Congressman
dies it is deemed Courtesy" to vote
public money for an OstentatiOus
leave-taking. A committee of ten
to twenty members is appointed by
the Speaker to accompany the dead
man from Washington to his former
home. They charter a Pullman car
and buffet, stock it with provisions
every necessity and luxury-then fill
up the rest of the car with reDorters.
and others who wish to take a free
ride. Champagne and whiskey are
always on hand in great abundance,
and as they are free to all, they are
partaken of with avidity. On many
occasions the committee has arrived
at its destination in a dismantled and
d~emoralized condition, with. several
of the members so intoxicated that
they could not participate in the fun
erai. Sometimes the committee is

Alliance and Farmers Organizations.
Progressive Farmer

nAASO
This is a day of organization. The
action of manufacturers of cotton,
of cotton-seed oil and meal, of to-
bacco, of shoes, hats, the merchants,
lawyers, doctors, the laborers-all
stand out before us as evidence that
it pays to organize. And / am glad
to say the farmers at last are begin
ming to see it in its true light. We
could give a thousand reasons why
the farmer should organize. I don't
think of one why he should not. The
old copy, Omitted we stand, divided
we fall" still holds good, and is just
as applicable to the farmer as to
other fellow.
Now don't forget the April quar-
terly meeting. / hope to read in The
Progressive Farmer good reports
from the more than t~hirty-fve coun-
ties that are in our ranks. Don't
forget The Progressive Farmer. W.
all agree that it's n of the best
AGRICULTURAL papers at all. Lets give
it IL support. We expect it TO pub
lish free of cost all our meetings and
blow our horn in general. therefore
we owe it our support. / consider
il fortunate for the farmer that he
can get such a paper at the low price
of one dollar per year. Now let me
ask that at the next county meeting
all over the State that some one make
it his or her business to get up a club
for this our organ.
And | want to ask every farmer in
the good Old North State to lay
aside the past, whatever it may have
been that has kept you put of the
Alliance, whether it be political, per-
sonal. or otherwise. let the past go
with the past. let gone-bys be gone
bys, and let us look the situation
squarely in the face and come to-
gether and stand together for our
W mutual protection and the bet
terment of mankind.
Very sincerely,

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulflls every wish
in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that I'M
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to
get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary eff
feet of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for it's won
derful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar
sizes.
You may have a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney rem
edy, and a book that tells all about
it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
Address, DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton. n. Y. When writing be
sure to mention that you read this
generous offer i'll The Progressive
Farmer. Don't make any mistake
but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
and the address, Binghamton, N. Y,
on every bottle.

How to Find Out.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys; if it stains the linen it
is evidence of kidney trouble; too
frequent desire to pass it, or pain
in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.

dred and Sew ,ty- -Four Majority.
New York. Nov. Eff Maryland has
gone Republican. as unofficial returns
at this hour Indicate, the Republican
vote in the electoral college will be
the unprecedented only of 325 for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks to lei for
Parker and Davis. Not only is this
far in excess OF Mr.. McKinleys vote,
292, in 1900. but Judge Parker's vote
is four less than that given Mr.. Bry-
an four years ago. 1t is practically
certain that the Republican national
ticket has carried every state in the
Union outside of the so-called solid
south. 1t may take the official" count
to decide Maryland. The Republican
majority in theh next house Of repre-
sentatives win not be less than fifty.
1t seems probable that the Demo-
Gratis have elected governors in Me-
braska and probably in West Virginia.
In the latter state the vote is very
close, but indications are that the
Democratic candidate has outrun the
national ticket and will pull through,
Montana also rnverses her electoral
vote on state issues and elects Demo-
cratic governor.
