gov- eminent principles advocated by the Alliance this paper is in hearty sympathy free coinage of silver, an increase in currency, abolition of the objectionable features of national banks, destruction of trusts, better control of transportation corporations, opposition to alien land ownership, publication by the state of its school text books, etc. But the Alliance as a wise, practical, non-partisan organization, having for its object the farmer's betterment, socially, mentally, morally, financially, politically is one thing, and the Alliance as a distinct party, scrambling for petty offices, advocating repudiation "of mortgage indebtedness in one place, absurd monetary propositions in another place, making lawyers ineligible to the judgeship, holding conventions with closed doors, and doing scores of other foolish things is quite another tiling. Certainly to favor the Alliance does not necessary involve an endorsement of all these follies, nor does a failure to endorse them make one "opposed to the Alliance. The Record stands by the constitution and ritual of the Alliance, which declare that it is a non-partisan organization that does not interfere with the political convictions of its members. An organization of this kind is urgently needed by the farmers.

It can do great good. It can be of immense benefit to its members. It can control all the parties in the agricultural states, and wield powerful influence for good in this government. Burlington Republican: The most despicable citizen to be found in Kansas to-day is the original package saloon keeper. He knows he is here engaged in his despised business against the wishes and over the earnest protest of an overwhelming majority of the decent, order-loving people of the state, and that if they had their way in enforcing their own laws, as they ought to have, he would be in jail like any other felon.

He has been, if he has been long in -he business of liquor-selling anywhere, a professional violator of law, never obeying any statute made for the restriction or control of the traffic until he was compelled to. Yet at the first opportunity he. takes advantage of the technicality a phenomenal situation in legal constructionto obtrude his offensive business upon the people of the state and whin-ingly claim for it the protection of the law. He is a professional criminal suddenly become temporarily law-abiding because his. nefarious business interests demand He merits only the most supreme contempt of decent people, and if he is occasionally made to feel their righteous indignation forcibly manifested there shouid be no sympathy wasted upon him.

Nobody vouches for the truth of the following story, which is nevertheless being circulated widely: A circular asking for help for the widows and orphans of the Dunbar miners, fell into the hands of Mr. Morgan, a Kansas farmer. Mr. Morgan, Morgan wrote to of Wilkesberre, a pretty farm, debt, and was a Rev. Hugh Hughes, stating that he had almost free from bachelor with good feel able to help the "habits, but did not sufferers financially.

He, however, felt that it was hi3 duty to God to help the distressed, and he offered to marry one of the widows, providing she had no more than three children. He left the matter of selecting his future wife to the relief committee. The relief committee has laid the matter before the widows. Instead of one there are eight or nine who want to marry the farmer. The committee is unable to decide and will forward the pictures of the women to Kansas and let Morgan decide for himself.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY. Will the clergy and their people kindly remember Hospital Sunday, June 29th. This day was set apart by the Ministerial Union of our city, in le7, at which time to make an offering toward the charity work of Christ's hospital. In accordance with this, our Guild resolved to make but two public calls. The times being designated as Hospital Sunday, (the last Sunday in une), and Thanksgiving day.

By reterence to our annual report published on the loth it will be noticed we have spent in charity work the cast year, $2,359.50, representing membership in ten different denominations, besides sixty-four of no denomination. "With more help we can do more. Mrs. T. D.

This valley is not only full of historical reminiscences, but is one of the finest agricultural, fruit growing and dairying countries in the world. Here is the place for the farmer, the manufacturer, the dairyman fand the stock raiser. The hills are full of high-grade iron ore and coal, and the valleys abundantly productive. The climate is a golden mean, pleasant in summer and delightful in winter. The water is abundant in quantity and pure in quality.

Lands are cheap, contiguous to market and can be secured by home-seekers on the most favorable terms. Come and look over this region, so favored by nature, while the growing crops and grass demonstrate the fertility of the soil and the genealty of the climate. If you wish to make an investment that you will never think of except with unalloyed pleasure, or to secure a home which will be the delight of yourself and family, don't let this opportunity pass unimproved. This is not the veritable Garden of Eden, but it IS one of the best regions to be found in the best country in the world. For further and more definite.in-f 6rmation, call on or address M.

Vs The Kansas City Star publishes the following strictures on the Santa Fe and presents its testimony therewith; "It has been known for a long time that the firm of Peavy of Minneapolis, who do a southwestern business also, are receiving some sort of a concession from the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company which gives them an advantage over all other buyers in handling corn in Kansas. Peavy Co. are paying three cents a bushel more for corn in Kansas than it can be sold for at Chicago, with full freight paid. They cannot buy corn on these terms if it is shipped over any other road than the Santa Fe. It is therefore plain that the advantage they have over other shippers is an advantage given them by the Santa Fe railroad company.

The advantage amounts to a cut of five cents a hundred weight in freight "This much of th arrangement is obvious to whoever cares to notice it. The rest of the conspiracy is less easily discoverable, but is positively asserted by men who are trustworthy men. Some corn on the Santa Fe is being bought by others than Peavy and shipped from the Missouri river east over other routes. The Santa Fe railroad company, therefore, not content with violating the interstate commerce law in granting a special and secret rate to a grain company much below the rate which the public is required to pay, has entered into a sort of conspiracy to divert all the grain business along its road into the hand3 of one single grain firm. Information comes to the Star that the Santa Fe company, through its general traffic manager's office, has issued instructions to all its agents in Kansas to report in full to Peavy Co.

as to how much grain has been shipped from the various sections, where such grain was shipped to, by whom shipped, and other information which will enable Peavy more expeditiously to secure entire control of the grain business of Kansas. "In plain words, the great Santa Fe railroad company, holding public franchises, bound to furnish equitable transportation service to the public, seems to have formed a sort of private co-partnership wth a firm of grain dealers whereby every producer along its line will be compelled to ship his products to one market and sell to one firm, and whereby all independent grain buyers along the line of the road will be forced out of business. The Santa Fe railroad company has been in the business of mining coal for a long time. Does its charter give it the right to go into the business of buying and selling grain?" "This co-partnership, if allowed to continue in existence, will s6on result in establishing a vast monopoly of the grain business in Kansas. vpeavy Co.

are purchasing elevators throughout Kansas. They have just bought a system of fifteen elevators in Southern Kansas. They can force every elevator concern on the Santa Fe road to sell to them at their own price. No one without a special rate can do business against them."

The temperature has generally risen in Hie upper lake regions, the Gulf states and -Nevo England; it Ms fallen in the north Atlantic states and the Missouri valley. All the cities are waiting for their census returns "with bated breath. The weather is getting no cooler very as they say up at Atchison. St. Joe's population is announced as 63,000.

The original package dealers are arrested at the average rate of two a day. "They marched the animals two by two." Kansas City is making her third census count. You get a great deal of enumeration for your money at Kansas City. Having enumerated all the people, Atchison is now killing all the dogs. Lawrence's population has increased 976 since 1880.

A large stone barn, owned by W. H. Bradbury, of the Santa Fe land department, and located on his premises, corner Twenty-fourth and Topeka avenue, was burned to the ground this morning about 6 o'clock. In the barn were twenty-five tons of hay, a buggy, harness and other articles, all of which were burned. A horse was taken out with difficulty.

The fire department was called, but the fire was outside of the city limits and beyond the water service district, so that only the hose company visited the scene and it could do little when it got there. Mr. Bradbury estimates his loss at $1,700. The barn was insured for $600 in the Phoenix, of Hartford, and the contents for 100. The cause of the fire is not definitely known.

The theory is that the heat from- the twenty-five tons of new hay in the mow caused it. AN OUTRAGE. Some person this forenoon telephoned to two women employed at the Blower house that their brother, who is employed on the state house, had fallen from the dome. The women hurried to the state house almost mad with fear and grief, only to find that their brother had not been injured, and that the report was false. It was evidently done either in malice or for a joke.

It "was a grand outrage, and the party who sent the telephone message ought to be severely dealt with. AN ENGINEER KILLED. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Engineer W. J. Baldwin, of the Rock Island, was knocked from his engine and killed at the Mission creek bridgfc, just west of the city.

Baldwin was pulling an east bound freight train, and he had just leaned over the side of cab to see some pan oi tne jnacmnery that did not seem to be working v6mootZily, when a beam of the bridge struck him and knocked him into the creek. The fireman stopped the train found the body could not be recovered without difficulty, brought the train Into Topeka.

MRS. STAN FIELD'S CONDITION. A Journal reporter this morning called on Sirs. Jane Stanfield, the aged lady whose sickness and destitute condition was reported by this paper about ten days ago. Mrs.

Stanfield has recovered from her sickness and was able to talk about her affairs. She took occasion to spak of her son, Geo. L. Stanfield, and said he had furnished her with medicine and medical attendance, had sent his little boy to stay with her and had himself sat up with her several nights during her sickness. She did not exonerate her other children in the least.

The reporter was told how the others came down to her house and stormed around after the Journal published the facts about the case. Mrs. Stanfield's room is very much better furnished than when the reporter called before. Everything neat and clean and some netting at tha windows kept out the flies. 1 Mrs.

Stanfield felt very grateful for the interest the Journal had taken in her bet half and the reporter was invited to call oftener.
