that
When the Farmers’ Alliance was
flrst organized It was claimed by the
evangelists of the order who intro
duced it to the Southern farmers that
It was not a political organization.
Farmers, Without reference to their
political opinions or affiliations, were
asked to Join the order, being assured
that It had nothing to do with polities,
and that those who joined It would
not be expected to let it affect their re
lations to either of the twp contending
political parties of the country to
which they belonged.
Suoh was the understanding upon
whioh Southern farmers generally
Joined tbe Alliance. Had it been
offered to them as a political pnrty or
organization, It Is snfetosay that nine-
tenths of them would have regarded it
with suspicion nnd refused to have
anytjiijhg to do with It.
Hut what of the Alliance now!
At flrst it was claimed that the doors
of the order would be forever closed
against politicians—that, lawyers and
politicians need not apply for mem
bership; but to-day the Alliance is tho
red-hotest and most rampant political
organization in tho country, nnd is be
ing led by a lot of broken-down, third-
rate politicians and chronic office-
seekers. As soon ns the order became
strong enough to make Its Influence
felt the plnae hunters commenced to
make use of it, and now there are
more Alliance leaders and plane hunt
ers in Georgia and In every other
Southern State than there are places to
be filled. Take the State of Georgia
by aountles, by districts or os an en
tirety, and see if this Is not true.
And politics is the rook upon whioh
the Alliance Is going to pieces. The
eleotlvo offloes, Stnte nnd National, of
the Statu do not afford enough places
for the lending politicians In the or
der. There aru more plaoe holders
and place seekers than there arc
places, and the overflow, thu fellows
who haven’t suooeeded In getting the
plncos that they want, together with
some of those who are afraid of losing
the preferment that line been given
them, are trying to lead tho fnrmers
of Georgia into’a new or third political
party.
Farmers of Georgia, Alllnnoe-men,
beware! Let the Third Party and
those who nre trying to draw you Into
It for their own selflsh ends und po
litical preferment alone.

Judge Unervy. Tho lMtor realized a day or two
before tho election that tho Alllnnecmeii wore
goingto votemdld for Stevens, und the result
was not a mutter of surprise.—Albany Herald.

lightly says that the vote in thu Terrell prl

It might have gone further ami said that the

Thu possibility of the passage of
the free sliver coinage bill by the
present Gongreas is still n subject of
tUsaousslon, and furnishes the New
York Sun with a text for a very sen,
sible article showing what effeot the
passage of the bill would have upon
the ourrenoy.
Thu Sun contends that It Is not
true that the country is on the brink
of an awful preolploe, or any other
kind df a precipice, because a free sil
ver bill may possibly be passed by
Congress and beuome a law. People
who have debts owing to them paya
ble In lawful money would get less
value if they should be paid In silver
dollars under free coinage than
they would get upan the present gold
wli
basis; and people who owe debts pay
able In lawful money would not have
to use so much labor or commodities
to discharge those debts as they would
upon a gold basis; and that is all.
The sun would continue to rise and
set in either case, and the world would
go on in other respects just the samu
under the dominion of silver as under
the dominion of gold.
Thkhk Is something about the race
between Jndge Guerry and Mr. Stevens
over In Terrell county that the Hint-
aI.d dbesn’t understand. Judge Guerry
is certainly the abjer man of the two,
and is popular with the people of Ills
county, as elsewhere where he is well
known. Yot Mr. Stevens ran over
three hundred votes ahead of him in
the primary election, and we nre told
that this- majority exceeds the total
number of Alliaiioeineii in Terrell
epunty. We do not know that tills
latter statement is true, but it has been
made in more than one paper in the
district by Mr. Stevens's friends, and
has not been denied. - If a majority of
the Democratic votesof Terrell county
were Allianeemen we could readily
understand tile whole business; but if
It is true, as lias been claimed, that
such is not the case, caudidnte Stevens
must have a mighty sweet song of

“Well, the average woman who
may come in with a child usually be
gins by depositing it on the bargain
counter. Then she is led away step
by step looking for this or that until
at last she has entirely forgotten the
little burden. This sort of thing will
go on for half an hour or so, when

‘Willie is missing. We try to

Wild Dog* In tlio North.
In tho Lake of tho Woods country,
which may be described as a wildor
ness of forest, rock and brushwood,
a race of wild dogs have established
themselves and are increasing in
numbers so rapidly that fears are en
tertained that the animals will yet
become troublesome. When tho
Canadian Pacific railway waa under
construction the camps of the work
men had of course to be frequently
moved, and dogs were often left bo
hind, and eventually, like wolves
and foxes, found means of sustaining
themselves.
Tbe animals are large, lean, short
haired and generally red or red and
white in color. They are exceeding
ly wild ctnd fly on the flrst approach
of man. In winter they live by
catching rabbits that abound in the
wilderness of brushwood; in summer
the wild dogs catch fish that crowd
the smaller streams that connect in
land lakes. Tbe Indians detest the
wild dogs, as they pursue game and
take the bait from traps and are a
general nuisance. Sometimes a wild
dog is token in a trap that has been
Bet for other animals, but the beasts
are exceedingly cunning, swift and
watchful.—Pilot Mound Sentinel.
A Illrd That Is Feared.
The elster (pica candata) is a bird
that is respectod and feared through
out south Germany. It belongs to
the raven tribe and is about the size
of a dove, with black and white
feathers and long pointed toil. It
builds its nest in orchards and its
life is sacred. If it is seen three
times in succession on tho same house
top, in a place remote from its home,
it is believed to be a sure sign of
death in that house. If it flies over
a house where any one is ill and
gives its peculiar cry the sick person
is sure to die, hut if it does not scream
the patient may recover. It is better
for the sick person if the bird does
not come near.
No one could be hired to bother
these birds for fear they might seek
revenge, and if by chance one of
them should die, it is a sign of bad
luck to the owner of the property
where it was found. Tho bird is a
valuable Insect destroyer, elul in this
way probably more than compensates
for the fear it occasions among the
farmers.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Bow a Mow York VTossoa Secured o Ptao
Carpet and Nmr Paid for It#
A number of persons seated in the
parlor of a Harlem house were bilk
ing about New York's rich men, both
the dead and the living, dividing
them into two classes, the philan
thropic and the other kind. When
they came to A. T. Stewart there
was quite an argument.' Finally, the
hostess said:
"I didn’t know Mr. Stewart per
sonally and am not in possession of
facta on which to base an opinion as
to his manner of treating persons
and institutions deserving of finan
dal assistance, but I can say. that 1
once had a valuable present from the
house of A. T. Stewart”
"A present I What was it?" a half
dozen demanded.
'Come with me and I'll show it to
you,” said the hostess, and she led
the way up stain) into what she called
her “spare room.” It was an old
fashioned room, with a tall posted
mahogany bedstead and other furni
ture to match. Upon the floor was a
velvet carpet, with such figures in it
os used to be fashionable back in the
early seventies.
“Here it is.” said the hostess, point
ing to the carpet. “This carpet, that
has about forty yards in it, come
from Stewart’s, and it didn’t cost me
a cent."
Everybody wished to know right
away how it all came about.
“Well, I'll toll you,” said the host-
s, "It was this way: I went to
Stewart’s and selected the carpet,
and ordered them to send up and
measure the room and then to make
the carpet and put it down! and 1
was to pay for it ‘C. O. D.’ In due
time the carpet wns mode and laid,
and when the last tack had been
driven the men started to go away.
“ ‘How about the bill!’ I asked. T
was to pay for this carpet cash on
delivery.’
“ ‘We ain’t got no bill,’ said the
men. •They’ll send the bill from tho
hoUBO.'
“Well, I waited and waited, but
no bill came. Then the thing slipped
out of my mind, and staid out for
about three months. One day it
came into my head that I hadn't
paid for that carpet, und so 1 went
down to the store and asked for the
bill.
“ ‘We’re no bill againfct you.' they
told me.
“I insisted that there should be a
bill,, and they went to work hunting
over the books. Presently they told
me that I paid for the carpet when I
ordered it
“I declared that 1 didu’t do. any
thing of the kind, and then they got
mad.
“ ’Madam,’ they said, 'our books
show that the carpet is paid for, and
we prefer to go by our books rather
than by your recollection,’ and do
you lmow they absolutely refused to
take my money. They wouldn’t ad
mit that they could have made an
error."
“I wish I could buy somo carpets
in the same way, ” murmured a young
man who has just rented a flat in
One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
street, in which he is soon to set up
housekeeping.
But such good things do not come
to everybody.—New York Times.
Irish Wit.
I must admit tb-t Irish wit isoften
of the most r lord'nt and oven sar
donic kind. V/a« there over n more
sardonic stroke of description than
that O’Connell gave of Peel’s blood
lessness? “His smile was Uke the
silver plate on a coffin." Of another
and lower quality, but good of its
kind, is the following fishwife's sar
casm : A friend of mine was waiting
his turn to be served in a fishshop,
while a little weazened old gentle
man priced every fish in the shop.
“How much is this—and this—and
this—and this?” etc., till the ex
asperated shopwoman exclaimed:
“Ahl Go an out of thatwidyo! It
isn't fish ye want, but information!”

I know from observation that frogs
are cannibals. I once rescued an un
fortunate specimen from the jaws of
death, and later I demonstrated the
fact that a frog can live under water
only about ten minutes. But I have
never believed the story of a fisher
man catching bullheads, which he
threw on the gross upon the bank,
that he was .victimized by a frog
which took pity on the fish and
adroitly rolled them back into the
water.—General Bruce in Forest and

There is not much probability of at
taining regular and continuous speed
of 100 miles per hour with our pres
ent locomotives. Their fire boxes-
which perform the same functions
for the machines that their stomachs
do for animals—are, with their pres
ent construction, necessarily con
tracted in size. The weight Of the
whole locomotive being fixed, the
dimensions of-the different parts are
also limited.
It is proverbially clangorous to
prophesy when you are not quite

ity of figures may rise up hereafter
to deprive the prophet of all honor.
Fast running is largely a question
of steam production. Given a boiler

and the other problems are of com

The preferred Creditor.
A good story is, going the rounds
about a New York merchant who re
cently failed for a large amount ‘ He
called all his creditors together, and
offered to settle with them at ten
cents on the dollar, giving them his'
notes, payable in thirty days.
As most of the creditors had little
hope of getting anything they eager
ly accepted the proposition. One
man, however, stood out for better
terms, and all efforts to get him to
agree were futile. Finally the bank
rupt took him out in the hall and
said:
“Ven you come in an sign mit de
udders den I make you preferred
creditor.”
"All right."saidthe ldcker. "under
those circumstances I will agree to a
settlement.”
The papers were signed and all the
creditors left except tho one who had
been told he was to be preferred.
"Vat are you voting for?” said the
man who had fuiled.
“Why, you said I was to bo pre
ferred. 1 am waiting to know what
I am to get."
“Veil, I tell you—you get notings.”
"Get nothing! Why, you prom
ised to make me a preferred creditor
if I would sign with the rest."
“And so you are. I make you pre
ferred. I tell you now you gets not
ings. De udders wait thirty days be
fore dey know it, and den <.. y get not

Postage Statups by tbe Thousand.
For the past ton years a citizen of
Portland has been collecting United

lie has now 980,000, mostly of the 1.
2'and 3 cent denominations.
The remaining 20,000 will be col
lected in a comparatively short time.
He has obtained most of these stamps
at one office.
He keeps them stored away in
pasteboard bo*es. tied up in bundles
of 100 each. These are placed on
edge in the boxes.
He has thus packed 66,000 in on

High Prlcea for llrood Mares.
That England tops America in the
high prices obtained for brood mares
is demonstrated by the following re
corded sales: At the breaking up
sale of Lord Falmouth’s stud in 1884,
Spinaway sold for $27,500, Wheel of
Fortune for $25,000, Jeanette for $21,-
000, Cantiniere for $20,500, Palm-
flower for $19,000, Dutch Oven for
$16,000, Mavis (Gilliard’s dam) for
$15,000, and Lady Golightly for $11,-
250; but other mares hove sold for
very high prices in that country. As
far back as 1875 Marie Stuart sold
for $21,000, and she had never pro
duced a winner at that time, but was
a superior race more, having won the
St. Leger of 1873.
In 1876 Mr. Gee, of Dewhurst
Lodge, gave $13,500 for the cele
brated mare Formosa, winner of the
Oaks and St. Leger of 1868. In 1887
Mr. Taylor gave at public auction
$17,500 for Princess Louise Victoria,
a 9-year-old mare by Hermit. D.
Baird, in 1889, gave $20,000 at auo-
tion for Algeria, by Galopin, and the
Duke of Portland in tbe same year
paid $15,000 for Miss Middlewick, by
Scottish Chief. In 1872 the Cobham
stud purchased Seclusion, famouB as
the dam of Hermit, for $12,500, and
in 1875 Mandragora' sold for $16,250.

The Jewish Feast of Passover begins
at 6 o’clock, or with the, appearance
of the stars, this evening.
The Passover is one df the most im
portant holidays in the Jewish calen
dar, and lasts for eight days. During
the, week of Passover' no leavened
bread may be eaten, as It Is command-^
ed in Exodus, chap, xil, ver 16:
‘Seven days shall ye eat unleavened
bread from the flrst day until the sev
enth day, that 'soul shall be out off
from Israel.”
The feast of Passover Is observed In
remembrance of the slavery and cap
tivity of the Hebrew nation til the
land of Egypt and of their deliverance
from bondage. Durlngthis holy week
they may likewise not drink of any
liquor that is produoed from grain, ,m
from any matter that Is leavened.
Their Passover cakes which are
eaten Instead of bread are made of
flour and water only, without either
yeast or salt.
Our Jewish fellow-oltizens will leave
their places of business early this
evening and repair to their homes.'
Usually the Passover is commenoed
with a feast, and a historical account
of the Passover is read by the head of
the family. 1 ‘

A lawyer was engaged to defend a
man for rinn’er, anil after looking
into the ease concluded that the out
look was very gloomy for the pris

When the jury was got together it
was found that there were eleven
Irishmen and one Polish Jew in the
box.
The lawyer feeling quite desperate
sought out the Polish Jew and said:
"I'll give you £100 if you'll get that
jury to bring in a verdict of man

The juror promised to do his best,
and Bure enough after staying out
some time the jury returned a ver
dict of manslaughter.
The lawyer was overjoyed, and al
most embraced the Polish Jew when
he asked for his money,
But the juror looked sorrowfully
at the £100 in his hand and said:
'T dinks you ought to moke it a

Early Manufacture of Stove*.
Up to the year 1835 stoves in this
country were made generally in
blast furnaces, directly from the ore,
and were very rude and imperfect
specimens cf work. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania furnaces made the
great majority of them, though a
few were made in Connecticut and
Vermont.
There is very little literature ex
tant concerning stoves, probably the
most interesting of what there is oc
curring in Dr. Franklin’s autobiogra
