“Attest :
“W. G Whimsy, Secretary,”
An Ignorant, Arrogant. Intolerant
Conglomerate.
Mr. G. C. Bunn, one of our Texas
subscribers, sends us the following
clipping from his home paper at Ilock
wall, showing a sample of the Alliance
opposition in the Lone Star State :
The Alliance (as now burlesqued)
met in force at Dallas the past week.
It was in some respects a most remark
able body of men : It was remarkable
for the absence among its leading lights
of a single man who has ever accom
plished anything for the world of com
merce, society, religion, polities, or pa
triotism I remakable for the number
who have been monumental failures in
almost every undertaking! remarkable
for its number of played-out politicians'
dead beat place-hunters, old spavined
greetibackers, and renegade Republi
cans, Democrats, and Union Labor
malcontents in search of soft snaps !
remarkable for its servile boot-licking
to an Illinois adventurer who first
struck Texas as a dead beat and drunk
ard, and who has systematically robbed
farmers and lied about everybody else
since he gained his strange ascendency
in the Farmer’s Alliance—every pi in -
ciple of which he has violated and ev
ery aim of which he lias reversed ! re
markable for the number of its anar
chistic, socialistic and communistic ten
dencies ! remarkable for lefusing to
pay debts for no other reasons appa
rently than its creditors’ opposition to
the sub treasury and th’rd party crowd!
remarkable for turning out arbitrarily
amt without trial members iu good
standing because they have had nerve
enough to denounce the men who have
openly robbed and plundered solvent
Texas farmers in the interest of a few
1 speculating tricksters and a number of
i insolvents whose mouthings and rant
ing* in defense of the robbery prove
them of exactly the material out of
which anarchistic lodges and blind
mobs are budded ! the more r*mark
! able for turning out these tneu because
among them are a numfier that have
j spent time, money and brains in the
true work of the Alliance when among
the crowd who now control it were
many political adventurers and sell outs
slinking around trying to find some
method to net a living out of this world
without honestly working for it! re
markable in a word for folly, servility,
trickery, bombast, buldozing and other
features upon which it is expected to
construct fal aeies ami subterfuges to
draw farmers into folly during the
coming political campaign, that a few
men may piosper at t lie expense ol
poor farmers and wage-workers already
so destitute and heart crushed that,
like drowning men, they are catching
at every political straw which floats
near them. Otherwise a corporal’s
guard would not foil nv such frauds and
such follies.
Texas Farmer has only the kindest
and tendercst feelings for all farmers
and wage-workers who are sincere in
their advocacy of the sub-treasury ami
third party and who ate unwittingly
following the men loading them astray
—yet this paper is constrained to say :
If you are still determined, after all
tho warnings you have had aud after
the fallacies and slanders of these po
litical tricksters ami commercial frauds
have been so often and fully refuted—
if after all this you are still determined
to follow the miserable gang, in the
devil’s name, go ! And would to God
you could be induced to still extend the
journey—for State, church, family or
community will be better off without
any man so everlastingly verdant as to
be thus easily gulled.
No argument is needed against the
Alliance as now organized, against tlie
sub-treasury, nor against the third par
ty, other than to refer to the leader
ship and a large part of the rank and
file, for while there are no doubt num
hers of good, honest, but misled men m
these movements, one thing is certain :
they are in company witli almost all
the impure Texas factors in politics,
commerce, society, religion and agri
culture.
Once upon a time theory went up
from crushed hearts :
11 Mi'll nail brethren, uTmt ’must n r do to
lie saved V”
Farmers who ure following this gang
should change tho cry. Now in the
crowd leading them are representatives
of every ism and almost every feature
of dissoluteness, and hence the cry
might appropriately be :
O, dead Gent s !
O, socialists !
O, anarchists '
0, drunkards !
0, dclit-mnkcrs mid non payers !
O, bribe-takers !
O, liars !
0, played-out Green backers !
O, spavined place limiters !
O, party renegades 1
(J, political adventurers !
O, legislative “grease” grabbers !
0, hired panders !
O, social ulcers !
0, business failures !
0, commercial frauds !
O, people’s money squanderers I
O, expelled preachers I
O, perjurers !
0, bell—

The Western Doom.
He had been lost for about four
hours and was riding along the trail,
hoping to meet somebody who could
tell him the way, when he came to a
house, with a settler sitting on the fence
in front.
“Good day,” lie said, pulling up]
alongside. “Can you tell me how far j
it is to Golden City ?”
“You’re right thar, stianger,” was j
the boastful reply. “This is Golden
City.”
“Great Ciesar, man,” exclaimed the
visitor, “this Golden City ? Why, this
isn’t any town at all, and the advertise
ment said the population had more than
doubled in the last three months and
every man in town had all he could do.”
“That’s right, stranger. Three
months ago there wasn't anybody here
but me and my wife; now, there’s me
and her and the triplets —you ought to
see those triplets, stranger —and I’ve
got all I can do to provide for family
contingencies. The advertisement is
the gospel truth, stranger. Won’t you
git down and look over some of the
lots ? Shan’t cost you a darn cent.”
The stranger invested twenty-five
cents in a feed.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Smart Speech.
Atlanta Journal: The following
speecli was delivered just before ad
journment yesterday by Master Gus
Turner, the youngest page in the Sen
ate, a bright boy ten years old :
Mr. President, Senators and Mr.
Secretary—We pages have had a good
time and we are indebted to you for it.
We thank you most heartily. You have
always treated us kindly, and we haye
tried to do our duty, and in the main
we have succeeded. Now and then we'
may liavo switched off a wee bit, but
we flatter ourselves that'we have kept
on the main line fairly well, consul
eriug.
Our Mr. Secretary is “the prince of
good fellows”—the best ou the conti
nent—and you, Mr. President and Sen
ators, form a combine of goodness and
ktnduess unequaled by any delibera
tive body in tho world.
Our recollections of our services here
will alway s bo most pleasant, and we
wish for you and yours the most un
bounded prosperity, and especially
hope that Ihe political problem may
ever he solved in your favor.
1 was just about to quit, but I am
reminded of one tiling which I would
like to say, if you will pardon me for
doing so. It has troubled ine for the
past several days. The honorable leg
islature have passed quite a number
of acts prohibiting a thousand and one
things, but not a line relates to the
prohibition of whipping in schools.
Aud now Jior the next twelve months,
at least, this barbarous custom is to
continue in full force. Ah,gentleman,
I Jo not prefer any charges—but the
boys can’t vote.
I can see one teacher, not a bundled
milss from here, going to the door ev
every morning to look for fresh mate
rial. It makes me a little nervous.
Next is tny day. When some fellow
hallows out “there’s Scatt coming !”
that professor’s countenance will be
gin to brighten, a grim smile of satis
in a row and said lie would tell them
faction will play around the corners of
his mouth, and his eyes will go upward
to see if his roils are in trim.
This could have been avoided. I
fear a sail mistake has been made—
but, gentlemen, we love you all tho
same.
A Curious Dream.
A laborer at the Dundee harbor late
ly told bis wife on awakening, a curi
ous dream which lie had during the
night. He dreamed that he saw com
ing toward him, in order, four rats.
The first was one very fat, aud was fol
lowed by two lean rats, the rear rat
being blind. The dreamer was great
ly perplexed as to what evil might fol
low, bh it has been understood that to
dream of rats denotes calamity. He
appealed to his wife concern
ing this, but she, poor wo
man, could not help him : his son, a
sharp lad, who heard his father tell the
story, volunteered to be the interpreter.
“The fat rat,” lie said, “is the man
wtio keeps the public house that ye
gang till sae often, and the lean ones
are me and mitlier, and the blind one is
yerself father.”—Scotch Paper.
A witness was testifying that he met
the defendant at breakfast, and that
the latter called the waiter and said—
“ One moment,” exclaimed the coun
sel for the defense, “I object to what
he said.”
Then followed a legal argument of
about an hour and a half on the objec
tion, which was overiuled, and the
court decided that the witness might
slate what was said.
“Well, go on and state what was
said to the waiter,” remarked the win
ning counsel, flushed with the legal
| victory.
“Well” replied the witness, “he
said, ‘Bring me a beefsteak and fried
potatoes. ’

Justice, If Not Law.
The western police justice admitted
that he didn’t know much about law,
says the Chicago Tribune, but be
thought he knew as much about jus*
tice as any one who ever sat on the
supreme bench. iSo he looked wise
when the big brute was brought in. and
he looked solemn when the little wom
an with a bandage over her eye, a cut
on her cheek and a big bruise on her
neck admitted that her husband did
strike her, but said that he was always
good to her when be was sober, which
wasn’t often.
‘•But I don’t want him lined, judge,”
she said, earnestly, ‘‘dust make him
promise not to do it agnin.’’
The justice looked over some old
law books, hemmed and hawed a little
and then said with all due dignity :
The court cannot find that the law
adequately provides for cases of this
description. As my friend Black -
stone once said, there are cases in
which the presiding judge must lay le
gal lore aside and trust to his own dis
cretion and common sense.”
The justice left the bench and ap
proached the prisoner.
“Prisoner at the bar,” lie said, “if
you were guilty of larceny this court
would line you S2O, but it is the un
derstanding of the court from tin evi
dence that you struck your wife.”
The prisoner staggered up against
the table as the justice’s list lauded on
bis left eye.
“If you were just drunk and disor
derly,” continued the justice, “this
court would send you up for ten days,
hut two witnesses swear that they saw
you hit your wife witli your clenched
ifist.”
The prisoner landed in aheap on the
floor and lay there whining.
“If you had thrown a rock through
somebody’s window,” continued the
justice, “this court would muke it $lO
and costs, but there is incontrovertible
evidence that you kicked your wife.”
The prisoner yelled so that he could
be heard four blocks us the justice’s
boot landed on his ribs.
Then the justice ascended the bench
again, and after brushing the toe of his
boot with bis handkerchief solemnly
said :
“It is the finding of this court in full
itession assembled, after fully studying
the law in case and looking up the
rulings of the supreme court and the
new circuit court of the appeals, that
there isouly one way to punish a wife
beater without punishing the wife. The
prisoner is discharged. And madam,
to the wife, “if lie ever does it again
bring him here and I’ll discharge him
again.”
Then, as a thought Hashed across
his mind, he called out :
“Are there any more wife beak's in
the prisoners’ Ik>x ? I’d like to dis
pose of all such cases before taking up
the minor crimes of arson, horse steal
ing, highway robbery, etc.”
