J. Nortiikn, President. “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— “what mis t i no to bk savwiV” 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. ’ ■ lost lo Cure All S>l*in Hi« eases.” Simply apply "Swayxk's Ointment.” So internal medicine required.

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.” ltlse and Fall of a Politician. Weight, ten pounds. Gootsey-Tootsey.
