A little lad listened and laughed with delight At the noise of the crackers and the rockets swift flight, As he wonderlngly gazed at the brilliant display Which honored America's great holiday. Soon after, when gathered a storm, grand to see, With lightning and thunder, he Bhouted with glee, "Oh, look at those fire crackers, right In the skyl I guess inhoaven It's fourth of July 1" Kellogg, City Men as Farmers.

(Rev. T. Dewltt Talmago In Ladies' Home Journal.) Just at this time of the year there are always a number of city men who get an itching desire to he farmers not farmers for health or pleasure, but farmers for profit. Now, farming is a grand occupation; but to the average city man who goes into it for profit, it holds out nothing but failure. The city farmer, for example, never considers, as does the wise and knowing farmer, that there may be disappointment in crops.

lie thinks that whatever he sows will come up and yield profit. Even a stupid turnip knows a city farmer as soon as it sees him. Marrowfat peas fairly rattle in their pods with derision as he passes. The fields are glad to impose upon the novice. Wandering too near the beehive with the book on honey-making, he gets stung in three places; his cauliflowers turn out to be cabbages; the thunder spoils his milk; the grass-butter that, he dreamed of is rancid; the taxes eat up his profits; the drought consumes his corn; the rust gets iu his wheat; the peaches drop off before they ripen; the rot strikes his potatoes; expecting to surprise his benighted city friends with a present of a few early vegetables, he accidentally hears that they have had new potatoes and green peas and sweet corn for a fortnight; the bay mare runs away with the box wagon; his rustic gate gets out of order; his shrubbery is perpetuallv needing the shears; it seems almost impossible to keep the grass out of the serpentine walks; a cow gets in and upoets the vase of flowers; the hogs destroy the watermelons, and the gardener runs off with the chambermaid.

Everyth'ng goes wrong and ming is a failure. It always is a failure when a man knows nothing about it. If a man can afford to make a huge outlay for his own amusement and the health of his family, let him hasten to his country purchase. But no sensible man will think to keep a business in town, and make a farm financially profitable. The Chained Farmer, As Prometheus was chained to Caucasus so is the farmer chained to the earth.

There he stays, immovable while the vultures of trusts, combinations, syndicates, speculators and strikers are feeding on his vitals. He cannot drive them away. He can only groan, and his outcries of bitter suffering, faint at first, are now resounding throughout the land. How shall he burst the chains that bind him? How shall he share with the city people in the good things that are going? How can he have a chance to sell dear and buy cheapand get even with the merchants, compelling them to give him goods and wares costing a day's work for his production of food and fiber of a day's tour umcago xnuune. The Fourth at Big Timber.

Reports from the celebration at Big Timber yesterday show that it was a great success. Fully a thousand people were present, and the exercises were of the highest order. The oration by C. N. Sears, was the principal feature of the day, and while it was entirely extemporaneous, et is pronounced by those who heard it as the most practical and the best Cheyenne county has ever been favored with.

The trees were out in full foliage, arid provided ample shade for the large crowd present, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. AT ST. FUANCISI. The Bird City people, with their cor net band, captured St. Francis yester day but they did not bring the county teat back with them.

The Herald is only $1 a year now. An interesting letter from Denver is altogether too long for our columns. Reed and Quay's election bill passed the house on Thursday, 149 to 156. The gag law was applied as usual. Only three republicans bolted the caucus and voted against it.

Poor McXall is reported as having said that the alliance is composed of Union Labor men and sore-headed Republicans. He is evidently becoming distrustful of his ability to capture Turner's salary. The senate hurried another republican state into the union on Friday Wyoming. Thus do the republican leaders continue to depend on new states to keep power at Washington in stead of on the people. The alliances in Congressman Kelly's district have called a convention at Em poria August 1 to nominate a candidate against him.

Thus does the evidence that the farmers are tired of the old crowd increase. A North Carolina Congressman, a republican, said in the debate on the election bill that except in a few localities, the elections in the south were fairly conducted, and that "if an election was held to-morrow, not three-tenths of the negroes would vote the republican ticket." Northern money is being invested in the south in large quantities and northern men settling there in large numbers. Thl3 has been going on for years. The men almost invariably become democrats. The reason they give is the unjust hostility of the re publican party toward the south.

The president is now electioneering for the caucus election bill. He seems to be a complete tool in the hands of Quay and Reed. The election bill is as infamous as the alien and sedition laws which ruined the old federal party and brought Thomas Jefferson into power. The question raised is above party, for the purpose of the election bill is to perpetuate the reign of individuals who are bad men and the dominance of interests that are gigantic legalized robberies. The McDonald Times is mistaken in respect to the Herald being a "self-styled alliance organ." Not "self-styled," mister.

After the alliance, in opposition to its president and secretary, had formally selected this paper as its organ, we innocently claimed the distinction in a standing card. But said president and secretary, like the congressional doorkeeper who wrote his Kentucky friend that he was "a biger man than Grant," seemed to consider themselves "biger" than the alliance, and proceeded to nullify and set aside the alliance decree. Thus this great and important question of organship stands and has stood from the beginning. Thf. alliance record shows the Herald to be its organ.

The two gentlemen whom a merciful providence permits to rule the alliance, conspicuously ignore its action. Still the Herald has not kicked. Editorially it has never claimed the alliance organship. That it considered a small matter in comparison with the triumph of alliance principles; and thankful to heav en that the power of those two great and good men to muzzle the Herald was limited, it has not faltered in the advocacy of the interests of the farm ers. And in all this the publishers are in strict line with their training.

Both are knights of labor and one is also a life-long member of the international typographical union. Farmers Should Beware of the Sneaks and Wolves in Sheep's Clothing. Ex-Senator Van Wyck concluded an address to the farmers at Grand Island, recently as follows: Be true to yourselves, be honest to your convictions, and you cannot fail; a triumphant victory awaits you. Have the manhood to step boldly forward and take it. You are reminded of the defeat of the grange.

The times and circum stances are now different. That was a gentle shower as compared with the rushing, sweeping torrent. The grange did not fail of independent action, but because men who were smuggled in as sumed leadership and from the inside plotted its destruction. These tactics are now being tried with the Alliance, Be vigilant and watchful. Men who are suddenly converted and just having visions of the great wrong and injustice by corporations and combined capital will bear watching.

The history of ancient Troy can be read with profit. The strength of her walls and the brav ery of her soldiers withstood for years the attacks of the Greeks, when cunning secured what courage could not. The enemy filled a wooden horse with armed men and withdrew the army from sight. The Trojans sallied out, were pleased with the huge work of art and innocently rolled it into the city, and at night the armed men quietly came out and opened the gates and the city was de stroyed. Corporations have more than the Grecian cunning.

Already they have created a wooden horse and, filling it with schemers and tricksters, men with smooth faces and broad phylacteries, are ambushing their motley army and watching from afar. Remember the past and do not be deceived. Deserters from railroads will not make soldiers to fight your from that camp with all the blandish ments of power and wealth deserts except by their permission and for their gain. Be careful that the Trojan horse be left outside your gates. President Harrison presented the pen with which he signed the pension bill to Congressman Morrill.

The congressman is reported not to be very proud of the favor. The bill was really the senate bill. Morrill secured the adding in the house of provision for service pensions. The senate disagreed, and the house republican caucus went back on Morrill and ordered service pensions abandoned. How the publishers of "Godey's Lady's Book" give so much for $2.00 per year is a conundrum hard to answer.

The July number is most attractive in every detail. The illustrations are numerous and good; the literature is of the best; the work department has many novelties in it, while all the other departments are ably conducted. Each sub scriber has the choice of one cut paper pattern each month, which alone costs more than the magazine. There was an effort made by the Oberlin bar to have the register and receiver of the Oberlin land office require the trials of contests to be made at the Oberlin land office instead of before some competent officer in this county; but through the instrumentality of J. II.

Scott, of St. Francis, and some of his Oberlin friends, the scheme was "nipped in the bud." and the peo ple of Cheyenne county can congratu late themselves that they will not be re quired to spend more money on a con test than the land is worth. The Kansas City census wound up over 20,000 short, because of the fool questions, the fool arrangements, the fool martinet at the head of the busi ness and the fool administration at the back of all. Thirty thousand people who had been missed by the enumera tors were added through private enter prise after the authorities said the work had been well done. Finally it was ordered that this revelation of the blunders of the census must cease, and some 20.000 left uncounted.

Complaints of this character are general throughout the land, and an impression generally created that the census, will not be a very reliable affair.
