ALLIANCE NEWS.
‘ Bleeding Kansas ’ got a ‘’Lease’’
on the alliance, ’out it has about ex
pired, eel 'h.
All men of common sense, wheth
er he be a democrat or populist, sees
the folly ef d-v.ging the Alliance in
t politics.
Of course the Alliance made
mistakes. The man that don’t
chop doYvn some corn is the one
that don’t hoe any.
When the manhood ot the
/South concludes to live under a
petticoat government, we want
to crawl under the bed and die
on a credit.
Get together brethren. Every
man in the order had the unchal-
lenged right to deposit such ballot
as bis judment dictated. Grant
the right you claim. Come togethei
and evolve new 00-operatire and
educational work.
The House passes joint reswlulioa

Alliance through th* democratic par

LOOK AT YOUR STAMPS.
An error which the Cincinnati En

if not remarkable blunder on the
part of someone. Take the new one
cent denomination. It is a pretty
tiling to look at, but there is a bad
eye-sore on the face f the highly
colored memorial. The scene
represented by the picture an the
face of the new stamp is ‘Coluuabu*

graving represents such a
hut look a little closer and you will
find that poor Christtpher’s name
is misspelled. Instead of the plain
name.ofthj great discoverer. Post
master Wanamaker’s new stamp
has the name of Christopher spelled
thus: *‘C-0-L-U-M-R-U-S/’ In
stead of reading: “Columbus in
Sight of Land,” the reading in cap
itals below the engraving on the
face of the stamp is: Columrus in

“out of sight,’-' while “Columrus is
in Sight of Land’'' will stare Ameri

HIS DRUNKEST DRUNK*
Tim Campbell’s Experience
With Mexican Devil Water.
“Ever get drunk on water?**
asked Tim Campbell, as he stood
in the St. James annex and
watched the barkeeper mix a cock
tail of extra vitality. “Y ou never
did? Well, there’s where I have
the advantage of you. The drunk
est drunk I ever experienced was
the result of drinking water. I
was skylarking around down
among the Sierra Madre Moun
tains, looking for a long lost Span
ish mine, and making an all
around fool of myself for the be
hoof of half a dozen Mexican mo
ws, when I discovered a little
spring bubbling out of the side of
a mountain.
“The rivulet was no thicker
than your little finger, but was
icy cold. I started to fill my cup,
but one of the Mexicans cautioned
me not to drink it. He said it was
‘devil water/ and would make my
head swim and cause my legs to
grow weak. I questioned him
closely and learned that the effects
produced by the water were very
similar to those resulting from the
absorption of too much bourbon.
He said that the Indians drank it
for kidney troubles. I thought if
it did no worse than make me
drunk I would tackle it, and I did.
It tasted like a very poor quality
of gin diluted with soapsuds, but
was so cold that, heated as I was,
I could not let it aone.
“ I suppose that I must have
drank nearly a pint of the stuff
during the hour that we lingered
in the vicinity. I soon began to
feel the effects of it. First 1 re
quired one mozo to hold me on my
burro, theiltwo found it a difficult
job. We went into camp, and I
pledge you mv word that for two
days and nights I was the drunk
est man on the North American
continent. No, sir, I didn’t take
anything on the side. Fill ’em up
again please. No water, thank
you. I’m a temperance man.
Rye is plenty strong enough for
me.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Consumption of Tobacco.
The Austrians consume more
tobaco than any other nationality
or race on the globe, civilized or
savage. Recent investigation by
eminent statisticians gives the
number of pounds consumed
yearly by each 100 inhabitants of
the Qitfereno European countries
as follows: Spain, 110 pounds;
Italy, 128; Great Britain, 138;
Russia, 182; Denmark, 224; Nor
way, 229, and Austria, 273.
Deserted Kansas Towns.
There are twenty well-built
towns in Kansas without a single
inhabitant to waken the echo of
their deserted streets. Saratoga
has a $30,000 opera house, a large
brick hotel, a $20,000 school house,
and a large number of fine busi
ness houses, yet there is nobody
to even claim a place to sleep. At
Fargo a $20,000 school house
stands on the side of the hill a
monument to the booming craze.

On an average two persons die
of starvation in London every

cheaper there than it is now.
It is estimated that the ceme

of which is not less than $lO,-
