TUoho of the Alliance lfwlers who have
ecn the mnarkAbln titter of T. C. Craw
ford, a Wmhiuffioa cornwixmclnnt, in a
Chicago pftper Mutlny are highly aintwed
at bis attempt to give Uw nocrt history
of the Into campaign. The lotter re
Tamrw the sort thorn tnanagitramit utory,
calls Mrs. Difgra and Mrs. Learn ChloaKO
anair hints and declare that anarchy and
nocialimn were foatoree of Alliance dta
cuwdons. He dwells on the military dia
eiptino ai tlie election shown by the Alli
ance members.
In a word, as the Alliance leaders say,
the most visionary and RticcosHful cre
ators of Kansas Republican campaign
literature never prodnced anything
which was quite so startling in its char
acter as this letter.
It is a well known fact, the Alliance
leaders say, that no Confederate ever or-
ganized a single alliance in the state of
KannaH. The national Alliance lw.tarer,
Ben Terrell, of Texas, visited Kansas
after the organization had assumed large
pmportiotut, made three or four lectures
wliile here and in each one strongly ad
vinod against the formation of an inde
pendent political party. Because of this
powtion he was not received with favor
by KausaH Alliance men, and ho was not
encouraged to remain. Prtwidont Polk
vim ted Kansas for tho first time early in
July, when tho people's party was al
ready a decided venture. At that time
he doubted the wisdom of the move, but
did not presume to even advise Kansas
men as to their political movements.
Tho Farmers' Alliance, out of which the
people's party grew, was entirely in
digenous and was the legitimate out
growth of conditions brought on, as
Senator Plumb said in the seuato, by the
mischievous financial legislation which
has Ixxui going on for the past twenty
five years.
The only women who took any promi
nent part in the campaign wore Mrs. M.
E. Lease and Mrs. Anna L. Diggs. They
certainly cannot be accused of being
representatives of the anarchist press of
Chicago, or any other place. As one of
the prominent leaders of the Alliance
said this afternoon, they mado "ballots
not bullets, the foundation of their
pleading on the platform." The very
plan upon which the Fanners' Alliance
is organized precludes the possibility of
the existence of an inner circle which
can in any way govern its action.
The statement that Judge Peffer was
the choice of the Confederates and that
he was elected United States senator at
their dictation is absurd. Puffer was
successful because he was shrewd and
calculating and had the foresight to see
that John J. In galls was certain of de
feat at a time when the most sanguine
of the Alliance people had no idea that
such a thing was possible. Before the
election he was the only Alliance candi
date for Ingalls' place, and when the
election took place and a- majority of
Alliance legislators were elected a large
number of them were pledged to him.

Times.
A Long Farewell.
The Farmers' Alliance has accom
plished one good thing if it never does
anything else of value. It has defeated
the Hon. John J. Ingalls in Kansas.
This happy circumstance can scarcely
be overestimated. The benefit of it not
only affects Ksnsan, but all America, be
cause it removes-onie-of the most power
ful factors in the maintenance of sec
tional hatred. The one thing necessary
for American grew towns is American
union.. ; 1
Twenty-five or thirty yeaxs ago north
ern patriots preached us that doctrine
with cannon and sword strokes. They
emphasized their leaning in that direc
tion by ruining out homes, devastating
our fields and strewing our plains with
corpses and ashes. Now, however, such
union is exactly what some of them seem
to fight, by tearing open anew our old
wounds and keeping us in recollection
of old injuries. Of such men Ingalls
was perhaps the most powerful and the
most conxpicuons. To him, happily, we
say a long farewell. Memphis Times.
The Farmer In Politic.
At the annual meeting of the Wiscon
sin State Agricultural society President
Parkinson delivered his annual address,
devoting it wholly to the subject of "The
Farmer in Politics," and holding em
phatically the belief that one of the
farmer's first duties was to be a politic
ian. He predicted that unless legisla
tion in the interest of the masses was
soon h:id, half of the wealth of this
country would be controlled by 10,000
men by the end of twenty-five years.
He urged tho election of fanners to state
legislaturen and to congress, and de
plored the i'uet that there was scarcely
enough fanners in congress to constitute
an agricultural committee.

that tlioy propose to deal in gold, and on

All the legislatures in the western
states are hard at work considering the
bills demanded to be enacted by the
farmers, and, what is more, when the
Villa are enacted they will all be good
laws, good for all the ieople. Verily,
this is a farmers' year. Journal of Ag
riculture. The Farmers' Alliance is spreading
rapidly in Ontario. Considerable mis
sionary work has recently lioen done by
Alliance men from Kansas and other
western states, and the Canadians are
nocking into tho organisation.

portal and hurst it In. I recall a feel
ing of piiil.j ns the door went in at the
success of t flirt first step, but nothing
distinctly afterward.

sifted through the curtains from the

"There w as no ono in there, however,
except thot one Vernionter, and ho did
not even attempt to closo tho door after
us, such was his contempt for our
pioupsn.
"We did not go back into his room.

we woro about to leave, 'I trust you aro
not mean enough to report this to tho

" 'Not at all,' he said. 'I like it. Como
again any time you please.'
"Another time, continued tho racon
teur, "a party of us had been out on that
acred night, Halloween, tearing otl
gates and signs, and otherwise diajiort-
ing ourselves after the fashion of collogo
youth the world around. We had
brought about a cord of broken storo
signs up to Jim Martin's room and were
merrily burning them in his big fire
place Tho ceremonies were at tlieir
height when two or three professors, ex
cited to tho movement by indignant
townspeople, whose signs being ravished
had followed us to the college gate,
rapped loudly at the door for admission.
Something had to be done, as it would
never do to let in the professors and
those brokou evidences of our guilt
around.
"A man by the name of Jack Nesbit,
pow a State senator in Nebraska, was
equal to the pinch, however.
"It was a rule of the college that no
professor should be denied entrance to
a room, no matter the hour, unless the
occupant was engnged in prayer. In
event of the present progress of this
religious exercise, the professor was
made to wait until tho 'anion,' nnd
could in nowise complain.
"At the first rap Nesbit broko into
prayer. In a loud sonorous tono ho
sought mercy for himself and his com
panions. Continuing, he beleaguered the
throne of grace in behalf of tho college,
as well as the professors, singly and
iu a body. Next the students all
came in for notice by name, and iu Utile,
as well as every attache of tho pl-.ice tj
the small erson who cleaned knives
and forks iu the kitchen. No one was
slighted or overlooked. Then Nesbit
went for the Government, and prayed
for the nation at large; then tho Presi
dent and his pressing needs were
named, and Divinity was pleaded with
for their fulfilment; then nil the de
partments and various ofllci-r of Stato,
and when they were exhausted all tho
States beginning with Maine and end
ing with California were interceded for.
Ai'tr this Jack went to Europe, and
beginning with England related the
necessities of each gwverumeut, and
sought their satisfaction. From there
he went to Asia, to Africa, then to
South America, and so on, until he was
drifting among the islands which dot
the Southern sens. Meanwhile the rest
of us turned stokers, and crowded the
signs into the fireplace, where they
roared and leaped almost to the limits
of a general conflagration. Just as Jack
was lauding at Auckland the last
splinter wont up in smoke and the dis
gusted professors were lot in. The
prayer must have been almost an hour
long, and as the touchers filed in Nosbit
closed with some quotation from St,

A Simple Ceremony,
The marriago ceremony practiced by
the poople of Borneo is very short and
simple, Brido and groom are brought
out before the assembled triho with
great solemnity, and seated side by side.
A betel nut is then cut iu two by the
medicine woman of the tribe, and ono
half is given to the bride and the other
half to the groom. They begin to chew
the nut, and then the old woman, after
some sort of incantation, knocks their
heads together and they are declared
man and wife.

What May lie Patented.
A United States patent will liegrantod
to any person who has invented or dis
covered any now and useful art.
machine, manufacture, or improvement
thereof, not known or used by others in
this country, and not patented or de
scribed in any printed publication in
this nor any otlier country, before his
discovery or invention thereof, and not
in puMio use nor on snlo for more than
two years prior to his application, unless
the sumo is proven to havo been aban
doned. In this connection tho word "art"
means the process or method of produc
ing an old or now result If a method
of doing anything contains one or more
new steps, tho process is newaud patent
able. Tho word "machine" means any
dovico or thing by means of which a
mechanical result may be produced,
such as a pin, a churn, or a locomotive.
Tho word "manufacture" moans a
mado up article, such as furniture,
clothing, harness, and the thousands of
things which aro offered for sole. "Com
position of matter" means a chemical
compound of ingredients, such as hard
rubber, liquid glue, medicine, eta
Patents may also be obtained for de
signs for manufactures and works of
art, for throe, seven, and ten years.
Trade marks may be registered for
any arbitrary sign or symbol which is
not descriptive; the Government fee is

property of tho registrar for 80 years,
and tho timo may be extended.
A "label" is any descriptive tag,
print, or impression to bo placed upou
any article or its case, and it may bo
registered for 28 years. The Govern
ment fee for a "label" is $0; but if it

The Cee or Tears.
The use of tears is not generally ap
preciated, even by those who shed them
most freely, says the Newcastle Chron
icle. It is assumed that tears aro shed
occasionally as an expression of grief,
though tenrs of joy are not wholly un
known. This, however, is a mistake, for
the discharge of tears is continuous and
the flow of moisture from the lachry
mal glands serves a very beautiful pro
vision of nature. An immensi quantity
of fine dust is always floating in the
air, and though this is impalpable to the
vision, it would soon obscure tho sight
if allowed to remain in tho eyes. The
continuous flow of moisture from the
lachrymal glands is sufficient to keep the
eyeballs clear from this accumulation
of dust, but when any grit, insect, or
smoke gets iuto the eyes it so affects the
nerves as to cause an extra flow of tears
to clear it away. Tears are thus invol
untary, and may bo caused by any pun
gent vapor, such as arise from acids or
the odor of onions. The chief element
in the composition of a tear is water,
but with water is associated minute pro
portions of salt, soda, phosphate of lime,
phosphate of soda, and mucus; and
when seen under the microscope a tear
after evaporation looks like a very small
fish bone, owing to the salinos forming
themselves into lengthened crosslines.
Stedlcal Training and the Languages.
In a recent address before one of the
largest medical associations in the
United States, the speaker argued that
the medical student's work should begin
w ith his academic life; that the selec
tion of a career in medicine being de
termined upon, attention should bo
given to the cultivation ot tho mind iu
the study of Latin, Greek, German,
French, physics, etc., to the exclusion
of the higher mathematics. Every one
admits that a knowledge of Latin is es
sential to intelligent medical training,
and when one is reminded that practi
cally one-half of the words in Dungli-
son's Medical Dictionary are of Greek
origin, it Is not difficult to become con
vinced that this dead language is equally
essential. As far as medicine is con-
corned, nothing can be more deplorable
than tho decline of Greek in the chu-si-cat
curriculum. In Hungary according
to a recent lettor in the Now York
Times, it has been abolished, while in
Italy it is treated as an optional aid to
philology. The importance of German
and Frunoh may be appreciated when it
is estimated that about one-half of cur
rent medical literature appears in these
languages. Ilarper's Weekly.
