Three Months for 10 Cents. SENT BY„ P. 0. r J NAME. Which is the Anarchist? * You charge the Kansas and Nebraska farmer 13 cents to haul his grain 200 miles. You charge the grain dealer 6 cents to haul that same grain twice as far to Chicago. I tell you gentlemen, it is that kind of business that is making anarchists out of the farmers west of the Missouri river. This is not the language of a socialist ic agitator; it did not fall from the lips of one seeking to stir up sedition against the plutocracy; it was not uttered by one of Edward Atkinson’s “silver luaa tics, idiots or criminals. ” Those were the words addressed by President A. B Stickney, of the Chicago Great Western railroad to a group of railroad officials and attorneys who had been summoned before the Interstate Commerce Com mission in Chicago to tell what they knew about alleged violations of the interstate laws. Was ever severer arraignment made by the veriest anti-monopolist of the methods employed by the railroads to subjugate the farmer and destroy the profits of agriculture? When thieves fall out, honest men get their dues, it is said and had Mr. Stickney been permit ted to keep right on talking, some inter esting data might have been presented. But the Chicago Evening Post is author' ity for the statement that “railroad ethics” has sealed the lips of President fjrickney against further expression, ! and that all the other fellows had forgotten, when the commission assembled the next day everything they ever knew aboutanv rate -cutting or any other breach of the law, which they had been so witling but the day before to tell all about. But enough was said to prove to the farmer that the charges made against the grinding exactions of the railroads are true; that he is placed beneath the upper and nether millstones of low pri ces in the markets and extortionate railroad rates to get his products there. The most damaging assertions ever made against the railroads have come from men like Mr. Stickney or the for mer president of the Union Pacific sys tem, Charles Francis Adams, who knew from intimate acquaintance with all the Retails that the methods of the railroads Pvere dishonest and calculated to impov erish the men who produce the bread stuffs and meats for the world, and Mr. Stickney has himself gone so far as to ksay that the only true solution of the POST OFFICE. tfaidWffi ‘"problem' lies! ia government ownership and control. President Stickney made one mis. statement. The farmers are not becomS iug anarchists. They are as lawabidiug today as they were when hundreds of thousands of their numbers responded to the call for troops aud went out to fight, todie, if need be, to preserve the Union- They cannot be driven to anarchy by machinations of railroad officials who calmly override all law and insist that they are a law unto themselves. But the farmers of the country are coming to realize more deeply than ever that the charges made by Mr. Stickney are true, aud that they are trying to discov er the best method of forever settling the difficulties pointed out by him. When they are sure they are right the railroads will find it out, not bv any anarchistic outbreak, but by such an appeal to law, an appeal so resolutely and so firmly made, that the Legisla tures of the states and the Congress of the nation, and the president in the White House will not dare for one mo ment to resist it. There will be a revo. iution in railroad affairs, but it will be brought about by the peaceful processes of evolution and in conformity to law and the constitution. —Chicago Far mers’ Voice * The rank and file of the democrat ic party are honest and will not sup port any dirty work in that party if they know it. Like Mr. Key thousands of them are beginning to see that the rings are running the old parties and they will de sert them. Every day records good and true men who declare their in tention to no longer affiliate with the tricksters. A Chance to Make Money.

Artificial flowers have had a remark able run in millinery this season, but already there is a growing tendency to ward birds, wings and feathers. A nov elty consists of black quills, with white tops. Breadth appears to be a feature in hats as well as bonnets, and trim- MIDSUMMER lIAT. ming placed on both sides carries ont this idea. Among the later favorites come the high crowned straw hats, which are appropriately worn with gar den party toilets. For indoor entertain ments toques and bonnets arc the rule, huge hats being out of place for such occasions. Many women wear veils with the large hats. The newest thing in this line is a wide tulle veil, tied loosely about the hats, with the ends brought round again from the back to tie under the chin. A popular veil is of oream col ored net, with small white or black dots. Wrinkled waist bands are now fash ionable. These are very wide. Home are of black satin and can be worn with any gown, while others are. of the same color as the gown. These bands, of whatever material made, are cut bias and wrinkle gracefully and fit perfectly. Garden party gowns are now in order. Avery charming mode 1 is made in grass lawn over pale blue si!k. It is trimmed with fine lace insertion and frills of black lace. Very pretty evening dresses are made of tulle silk muslin or china silk made in simple Btyle with broad sashes of rib :JL 1 GARDEN PARTY TOILET, bon for the finish. Ribbons, by the way, are a conspicuous feature of dress trim mings. Maltese lace is another popular dress trimming. White alpaca is made up in a variety of ways, the most popular, perhaps, be ing the coat and skirt style. As to grass linen gowns and linen crash suits, these are endless. They have proved a boon during the hot, sultry days. The Tea Cigarette. The tea cigarette has already been in troduced as an after dinner entertain ment in fashionable circles, wh re it is said to be very welcome, since it enables the ladies to keep their hushan s com pany in their after dinner smbkint. The tea cigarette is about three inch's long and of the size of a lead pencil. The New York ladies are making presents of boxes of tea cigarettes to one another, as they formerly presented bonbons. Tea smoking was introduced from Paris into New York city. As theme, the poison of tea, is volatile, like the nico tine of tobacco, when tea is smoked like tobacco, Good Health says there will soon be anew series of nervous disorders added to the already long list of human ailments. The Elberton New announ ces that Coxey had gone iver to McKinley. We know that the Era did not intentionally do Mr. Coxey this injury and will correct it at the first opportunity. Mr. Coxey is a strong advocate of the St. Louis ticket, and carries Bryan and Watson at the mast head of his excellent paper, Coxey’s Sound Money. The Thief Offers Terms. We clip the following article from the Atlanta Constitution : The democratic convention of Clayton county which assembled in Jonesboro two mouths ago passed resolutions au thoriztng the executive committed of the party to confer with a like authority in the populist party with a view to ob taming peace and reconciliation be tween the two parties, and this is what The Jonesboro Enterprise now says of that conference: “It has been ignored by the populists, audit is evident that they will lend no co operation to the efforts of the and mio orats to eliminate some of the bitter Strife that has marked the local cam paigns for several years. So it certainly looks like they do not wish to promote e ther peace or principle and are waging a fight for office only ” It is very nice indeed, for the Veilow who has stolon your goods to conio around and offer a com promise whereby<’he is to inherit part of them for being such a sbrude thief. At the lust election in Clayti n county the popttiists carried the county fairly anil squarely and the democratic lfennagers refused to count them fat the precinct where the populist had a majority. • Now, these villmus come back and want to “harmonize” things, If justice was meted out things Would be harmonious now and such rascals as committed the fraud in Clayton would be serving It now turns out that Col. Troup Taylor, of Atlanta, was the origi nal people’s party man. In 1870 he advocated the formation of a new party to be called the people’s party. Where is Bro. Taylor now? ■&2a!0B TRAINS route of the famous “ATLANTA SPECIAJL” TO New York, Washington, Norfolk, Richmond NORTH AND EAST. Also tjhe “S. 3p- No. 402. No. 38.

Thea manipulators well know that the \ honest rank and file of the demo cratic party will not endorse any such dirty work and for this reas on they want to run to cover under a devision. They know that the honest men in their own party will rebuke them at the next election and they dread to go before them with their record behind them. We do not believe in showing such men any quarters. The defeat of the Irish land reform bill by the house of lords is a serious blow to the Salisbury administration. But it nroves that the British nobility iR not disposed to hearken tod ; stress of the poor even though it be voiced by the men who are of their own ilk. When the bill was returned to the com mons the corrections and alterations made by the lords, Gerald Balfour, chief s mretary for Ireland audbrothrof the Conservative leader, declared that the notion of the lords was distinctly to the detriment of the tenants, mud that un less something were done to affoiJ relief, calmity must follow, in which the landlords themselves would be heavy sufferers, The irrepressible conflict of the emmou people, seekimr equality, against the aristocracy, ever deniandiug supeiiority and special privilege, is the same the world over, and nowhere more marked than in our own republic.—Chi cago Farmers Voice.
