VARNEY. THE THIRD PARTY. A SOU TUEKN DISPATCH ArCOX NTINO FOR THE MII.K IX THE COCOASIT. The Jacksonville, Timc8-L'fon prints a special from St Augustine, in which the charge is made that it has been discovered that there exists a gigantic plot to use the National Farmers' alliance as a means for promoting the third party scheme which came to the surface in two or three different forms during the recent convention. The dispatch says The scheme is said to have been consummated through the adoption of the report endorsing the sub-treasury bill.

The eastern, northern and northwestern delegates were opposed to the bill, but voted for it in order to split the democracy of the south, which is well known to oppose it. If the fanners of the south, most of whom are democrats, could be kept to support the bill, then the desired split could be produced. And that was what was done. The western and northwestern delegates who are. opposed to the bill nevertheless voted for it in the hope of dividing the bourbon democracy, and will account to their constituents for having so voted by referring to a divided democracy in the south.

Several of these plotters have been placed on record. For instance, President Mctlrath, of the Kansas alliance, said in the presence of witnesses yesterday: "We did not vote for the sub-treasury bill because we believed in it. The fact is we are opposed to it; but we are opposed to it; but we saw that by making it an issue in the south we could break up the democratic party. This is the explanation we will give our constituents when we get home." J. F.

Willits of Kansas, said: "We never did like the sub-treasury bill, and have no confidence in it now, but we supported it at Ocala so as to divide the south aud break up the bourbon democracy." It appears also that these sentiments have entrapped other delegates than those from the ultra-republican west. With the southern democracy divided, the third party would have good chances for their national ticket in 1892. HOME FROM OCALA. Topeka Capital. The Kansas delegates arc returning from the Florida convention with great enthusiasm over the doings of that body and full of hope for the complete overthrow of republicanism in Kansas.

The question which their constituency in the alliance will ask is, What have you done It is briefly answered. First, there was a great gathering of the southern alliance with invited guests from the northern alliance, the F. M. B. A.

and the Knights of Labor. There were an abundance if not a surfeit of brotherly love and loud applause by the south of the Kansas men who had broken up the republican party and barely failed of electing a state ticket in addition to their five congressmen. There was great southern rejoicing openly at the prospect of the defeat of Senator Ingalls and secretly at the election of Gordon and Pugh. Then there was a platform. It unanimously condemned the Conger bill which protects lard made of Kansas hogs from the cheap and false competition of the cottonseed oil of the south.

It unanimously condemned the bill now pending in congress to force the south to be honest in elections. It denounced protective tariffs and spoke out uncompromisingly for free trade. It demanded that the government build storehouses for agricultural products and loan money thereon in every county whereiu 500,000 of any such product had been raised and sold in the preceding year, which includes one Kansas county, the most of Kansas products being fed, not sold. It hedged on the former demand that the government buy up the railroads aud simply urged their control by the government, thereby unwittingly endorsing the policy of the republican party as shown in the interstate commerce commission, which lacks but one addition to its powers to become all that was hoped from it. It demanded the.

abolition of the national banks, a republican invention which has given the country the best currency in the world and brought it near the people, distributing it all over the country. The convention furthermore elected four national officers, two from the south and two from Kansas. Kansas made one demand only, that a third party be formed, but the south squelched that with unanimity. It would have destroyed the very purposes of dragging politics into the order, and in place of disrupting the republican party "would have broken the solid south. This, in brief, is the history of the Ocala convention.

the demand of the west for a large in crease in the amount of money says "The public men who urge this change do not appear to care whether the silver and paper dollars cease to be equivalent in value to the dollars in gold or not. They often affirm, it is true, that they do not be lieve free coinage would cause any separa tion between gold and silver. But no time or space is spent by them or their active supporters, and no interest Is shown in any effort to demonstrate this, and there is constantly manifested, on the contrary, a feeling that if the silver and paper dollars should cease to be worth more than 75 cents in gold, nobody would be hurt except the money-lenders and monopolists, who ought to be hurt anyhow. Why should they care? What we want in this country is good times for the people. The very best times this country has known in the past half ccntuiv was from 1805 to 1ST I when gold was so high that there was none in circulation.

During that time the highest gold value of the greenback was 80.5 cents and yet business was booming. It was not until the price of gold began to get close to 100 that the hard times came. (Jive us plenty of mon ey and business will be If the cir culating medium is cheap men will not be so apt to hoard it up in banks and old stockings.

A Brown Draggist-4 Senator Harkness, of Clay Center, has been instructed by an alliance in Dickinson county to vote against Senator In- galls. His reply furnishes the best specimen of Americanism and individual manhood that has yet responded to the Southern Ku-Klux methods now prevail ing in Kansas. He says When I surrender my citizenship and my manhood and enter an oath bound so ciety which is to control my every thought, and acknowledge the right of any ignorant or bigoted supreme chief to dictate to me, then, perhaps, I might pay some attention to such resolutions as were adopted in Dickinson county.

But not until that unfortunate hour shall have arrived will I submit to such a0degradation. I am always willing to pay due attention to the wishes of my constituency when expressed as the wishes of American citizens, but cowls, hoods, grips, signs and passwords do not enter into my conception of the rights and duties of an American public officer, nor will I give them the slightest attention." Kansas City Gazette. The laws of health art; taught in our schools but not in a way to be of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples, which in many cases could easily be done. If some scholar, who had just contracted a cold, was brought before the school, so that all could hear the dry, loud cough, and know its significance sec the thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developes, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what the first symptoms of a cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that even a severe cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly miti gated, when properly treated as soon as the first symptoms appear.

Dynamite enough to blow up a whole block of buildings was secreted under his sidewalk, but the man who had undertaken to do the deed weakened, and sent a note to Mr. Fair- child telling him of the intention. The sidewalk was examined, the dynamite found by the police and thrown into the river. No name was signed to the note, and therefore no clue can be secured as to the villains. Charley Flock and a Mr.

Scott, of Union township, got into a dispute over some corn last Tuesday, and as a result Scott tried to put Flock off his place. Flock claimed he had not husked as much corn as he was entitled to, and refused to go until he had his full amount of corn, Scott struck Flock and the latter drew his pop and popped away at Scott, the bullet very fortunately going wide of its mark and landing over on the next section Scott had Flock arrested, and a car load of plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses and mutual friends came down Wednesday and had the preliminary examination in this city, before Justice Baumberger, who promptly dismissed the case and sent all parties home. An honest Swede tells his story in plain but unmistakable language for the benefit of the public. One of my children took a severe cold and got the croup. I gave her a teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and in five minutes later I gave her one more.

By this time she had to cough up the gathering in her throat Then she went to sleep and slept good for fifteen minutes. Then she got up and vomited then she went back to bed and slept good for the remainder of the night She got the croup the second night and I gave the same remedy with the same good results. I write this because I thought there might be some one in the same need and not know the true merits of this wonderful medicine. Charles A. Thomp-seen, Des Moines.

This discrepancy is what the force bill is designed to remedy, but the Kansas alliance leaders at Ocala unanimously 'agreed with the southern delegates In denouncing the foree bill art unjust. Thk Farmers' alliance claimed to have elected thirty-five congressmen November 4. But twenty-seven of the thirty-live classed themselves 'as democrat in the lists prepared by the clerk of the house.

In the heat of a political campaign people will do some very foolish things. In Kansas, for instance, the Fanners' Alliance elected a man judge who knows nothing whatever of law.

His friends have raised a purse, and will send him to Ann Arbor until his term of court commences. In the same state the Alliance also elected four prosecuting attorneys who cannot qualify because they are not members of the bar. Thero is certainly something peculiar about American politics.

In the Chicago Tribune's report of the proceedings of the southern alliance con dition at Ocala, occurs this significant re mark about the movement to form a third party, as was done in Kansas in the last campaign despite the constitution of the order The third perty people are still busy. They have signatures now to the call for the Cincinnati convention from Kansas, Indiana, New York, Missouri, Michigan, California, Arkansas, North Dakota, Ten nessee, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia. It is worthy of mention that among the signatures there are few names from the southern states of white democrats.

The pro-democratic alliance men are not, however, opposed to the third party movement. We want the men from the northwest to go ahead with it, and we want the negroes and white republicans of the south to go in also," said one of them in a fit of frankness. "Then we will elect a demo cratic president on our platform in 1892." Every plank in the Ocala southern alli ance platform is tha interest or the south, while several planks are directly hostile to the interests of Kansas farmers. The only thing Kansas got out of the convention was a great many expressions of rotherly love and a 8:5.000 job for Willits, secured by Polk to get Willits out of the way of Judge PeffVr tfor tho United States senate.

Dispatches from Washington announce the discovery of a drug, by the bureau of animal industry, said to have been in a great degree successful in the prevention of hog cholera. There is-no room to doubt the accuracy of the statement.

The department has given the subject special study for a number of years, and while investigation is not prevention or cure, it is the first of the scientific steps leading to those results, and the announcement is not a surprise. The magnitude of the interests involved will attract to the statements of the department very marked attention, particularly in the hog producing states, of which Kansas ranks among the first, our product exceeding two million head of hogs during the year ending March 1, 1890. Up to the present time all efforts to eradicate the disease from infected communities have only been partially successful a specific cure entirely wanting, and prevention almost an impossibility. The only progress made prior to the annoncer tnent just promulgated, was in establishing the fact that hog cholera was a bacterial disease, and that inoculation, when practiced, spread the disease to hitherto uninfected herds. Being bacterial in character, the disease was placed beyond the reach of drugs or ordinary methods of treatment The indications are, from the imperfect suggestions of the dispatches, that Prof.

Koch's experiments are not dissimilar to those instituted years ago by our national department, and that thepresent so-called discovered drug, is a cultivated or modi fied virus to be administered in food. The mortality among swine has been so great from this disease, as to have depopulated counties and rendered them unfit for years for the raising of these animals. Farmeis have frequently been ruined by the loss of their herds at critical times, and if as may be believed, a remedy has been secured, the discoverers will rank in public esteem with such philanthropists as Jen-ner and Koch. The discovery lends hope that we are upon the threshold of similar discoveries which shall enable ns successfully to com bat heretofore incurable diseases, not alone among human beings, but among do mestic animals as well. Secretary Mohler of the Kansas state board of agriculture is communicating with the Washington department upon this important matter, and will soon have something ror our people detinue and re liable.

This statement induced us to do a little figuring, We took the vote cast for every Republi can nominee for the house of representa tives, instructed for Ingalls, both defeated and elected candidates, and we find that they received a total vote of 125,000. Humphrey received 115,000 votes, and we believe he was about 8.000 ahead of the next fellow. On the popular vote, there fore, Ingalls led them all.

Tildes, one of the shrewdest of American statesmen, was never more wisely or justly so than when he declared that the government should do nothing for the people which they could do for themselves. That was not only wise but patriotic and mischief is being done every day by the government interfering in one way or another with the business or the liberty of the citizen. It should attend to its business and let him attend to his. The new third party proposes that the government shall attend not only to its own affairs, but to those of the citizen as welL St. Joe News.
