DEMOCRATS AND TUB ALLIANCE.
The question of the right attitude of the
democrats In Kansas or anywhere ele
towards the farmers' alliance Is one which
seems to solve Itself In the presentation,
The first duty of democrats everywhere
and at all times Is to uphold the principles
of American democracy; to stand Ur Indf
vldual liberty; for local self-government
for the earner's right of property In hi
earnings, qualified only by tax Hen on so
much of them as Is absolutely necessary
for his protection In the maintenance of
peace and good order; to resist class rule
and clais legislation; to insist on equal
justice for all men : to deny the right of
any class to demand special favors for
Itself; to carry on the eternal struggle of
Inherent right against class, corporate or
personal privilege. And, that it may be
possible to do this, to maintain the party
organization founded by Jefferson and
upheld from generation to generation bt
the Americans chosen to fight for liberty
in the vangutrd of the world's progress
To do this is at once the duty and the
highest privilege of every democrat. It Is
for every democrat a sacred trust never to
be lost sight of. It is his most burdening
responsibility as a free American, and he
cannot forget it or evade It without being
false to himself, to his country, his poster,
it and the hopes of his race.
But In considering the fact that many
Western farmers are in favor of a class
Party to represent the agricultural class
exclusively, democrats must not lose sight
of causes. They must not forget that

grossly oppressed as a class- The most
immediate and pressing duty of detnia
rat is to remove these causes of oppres
sion. The alllahce'canriot maintain itself
as a class party in national politics. It Is
impossible for it to do so. Its members
must eventually take sides with one party
or the other, and in considering the
immediate present It must never be for
gotten that the whole farmers' movement
lias had a most wholesome effect on
politics In re -enforcing the protests of the
democratic party agalntt republican pluto
cratic policies.
Democrats have no quarrel with the
alliance and no fight to make against it,
In as far as it is an agricultural educa
tional society the can join '.t consistently
and retain their membership in it until an
attempt Is made to force them to support
undemocratic measures. Even then they
have no reason In sound politics foi
actively opposing It. Recruited as it has
Deen so largely lrom the ranks ot the re
publican party, it naturally shows much
of the republican leaven in demands for
such measures of class socialism as federal
control of crops. This was to be expected.
But, on the other hand, It Is re-enforcing
the democratic party in many ways In its
struggle against plutocracy, entrenched in
the laws, precedents and policies of the re
publican party. It is with this republican
party, with this plutocracy, with these
laws, precedents and policies, that demo
crats must struggle. They must hold
the party lines and consider as a possible
r'crult for democracy eve-y man who for
any cause is antagonizing the republican
party.
The democratic party in the (Vest ne'ds
alius wisdom, all its patience and all its
courage. It is no time now to make
Issues over county ollices. If the alliance
can poll votes enough to control them
heieafter. as it sometimes did Ust year,
let it have them, and then let democrats go
on with their wark of fighting down the
republican party. Let the alliance fight
on Its own lines and let democrats push
the democratic lines over the republican
works St Louis Republic.
The scarcity and high price of wheat in
Europe this year will doubtless lend to a
greater us of corn as food. Our corn crop
last year was poor, but Indications are fair
now for a good yield the present season.
In southern Europe corn hrcad is always
used to a hire extent, and Its use has
been Increasing in England. The cheap
ness of corn a few years ago made it
popular, and belter ways of cooking corn
meal brought it into use among those who
not long ago thought It fit only for. feed of
cattle and hogs.
There are 46,000 oil wells In the United
States, representing a capital of $120,000,000
with an output of 130,000 barrels ter dar
The refining capacity of the country is 140,
000 barrels per diy, while 15,000 barrels are
consumed as fuel. A surplus slock Is held in
tanks of more than 35,000,000 harreif.
Japan's emperor has dccrre;l that every man
who provokes a duel or accepts a challenge
shll pay a heavy fine, and se-ve from six
months to two ye its in the gallejs. The
taunting of a man for his refusal 10 tight when
challenged will be regarded as slander, and
be so treated by the courts.
The Smithroniun Institute 1 as teoeived
from Ciina a pair of bto:nlnt;i manufactured

men over cotton stockings (being too rough
for the naked skin), and under straw shoes,
a protection against moisture.
It is now charged against Governor Hill that
he is getting fat. It would not he surprising
were this so. A man who is a senator as well
as a governor has a fat take if there is one on
the book.
Winter wheat crop exceeds ail estimates,
is of remarkably fine quality, and will
weigh at least a couple of pounds more to
the bushel than an ayerage. Authorities
which ten days ago pooh-poohed the total
estimates of 550,000,000 bushels ae now
conceding the latter figure, while the
then estimators have made a new estimate,
which is 575,000,000 bushels.
At Kansas City the other day were
thown two steers, Red Durhams, one of
which weighed 4000 pounds and the other
4040. They were six years old, and
nearly twelve feet long and six feet high.
The owner was offered 50 cents per pound,
or $4020 for them, but declined it, as he
proposes to take them to the World's
