(' the mind acquire definite FREE CDiNMGE KILLED; PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY Politics and the Alliance- The cry goes up that the alliance not discuss political questions, for that will break it up. Well if the alliance people are not permitted to disruss the great, question of rfform, how can they vole Intelligently on these questions! The farmers and laboring men four country are inaugurating the greatest reform movement that was ever inaugurated In the history of our country, and if they do not thoroughly understand this movement they will make a failure of it, natural and fair price for his produce. The burden of the farmer rests its crushing weight on the poor. The tariff needs reforming, It is the people who need protection and they will nerer get it un dertheso called pooling of protection, or high tariff." The Edgar Thompson Eteel works of Pittsburg are highly protected, and Andrew Camepie a 6tock holder, drew as his share of the profits during one year as high as one million five hundred thousand dollars, or five thousand a day for three bundrej days, This industry is protected eighty-five dollars on the hundred and in this way Mr Carnegie is enabled tr realize five We requested Hro. Dague to announce that an alliance paper is to be published at Thillipsburg.

In this he totally failed as lko. Dague transposed our notice until it became almost meaningless and ridiculous as he aiuioiiiiCta of another paper in the city und leaves off the term ''Alliance" altogether. Why iJro. Dague should so fear the term alliance we are not able to explain, as we concluded after listening to his speech 011 tie -iih that he wanted to be in favor the alliance movement. But instead of him favoring the alliance we think lie wants thu alliance favor him, The conceqi ttion of all the mind'i energy in the extension of the powers that it fcLall bo able to act with all its might, a il he continuance of ita grip upon wio ol ject of thought, so long as it is accessary to hold it, so that it '6 able to won, continu ously.

Hti tskln't Keep no Yeggs. One of the young men of the New South, ho has spent some time inNew York, is C. B. of Nashville. Ha is thfl oldest son of W.

M. Duncan, one of the loading men of Tennessee's capital. Charley" Dimcan isan energetic youn fellow, who, although a little past his majority, has already began to push las way in the world. He is cashier of a hank at Nashville. His first banking experience, he wever, was in the mountain of East Tennessee, as cashier of the only bank at South Pittsburg.

This is one of the new iron towns that are springing up all over Tennessee and Alabama. It was projected by the Ttnnessee Coal and Iron Company, which owns the large furnaces there and most of the land. In talking about his experiences to a New York Tribum reporter, Mr. Duncan said. "The natives of the section had never so much as heard of a bank.

They did not know what a bank was for until it had been esplainea to them that it was a place to keep their money, and then I fancy some of the rougher onea thought it was a good place to make a haul from by putting a bullet through the cashier and running away with tho money. For along time I had to sleep in it every night with a couple of loaded revolvers ready for execution and my hair in a wire spring condition. Finally I persuaded an old half-breed Indian to watch for me. He was a man who did not know what fear was and would as soon shoot as take a drink. The money that they used to brine: into the bunk was a curiosity.

There were greenbacks of the very lirst issues, which had been hidden away in old places until the stuff fairly stank. Sometttres it smelled so foul that I had to open Die window before 1 could count it and then it was as much as I could do to stand it." Oue of Mr. Duncan's odd experiences was with a man who wanted to buy eggs. There had been for a time a grocery store in the same building with the bank. One day a countryman came in who had been drinking until he had scarcely any sense left in him.

lie was a lank mountaineer, with top boots and spurs, and the butt end of a revolver peering out over his hip. "I want somo yeggs," ho said. "We don't keep any eggs, sir?" was the young cashier's reply. "Yes you do. I got yeggs yeah befnah, anil I want J'eggs now." The cashier nowex-plained that ho was not selling egg9, but it made no impression on the drunken man, who reiterated his demand more strenuously than betore.en-forcing it with oaths and a movement of his hand to his hip pocket, where the revolver rested.

Young Duncan meanwhile had been slowly moving to a spot on his desk where his own weapon lay ready cocked for action. He suddenly leveled the pistol at the mountaineer's head and coolly said: "If you touch your pistol you are a dead man. I don't keep eggs, and if you don't clear out I'll shoot you sure This was the kind of an argument that had some effect. The drunken man was sober in an instant, and, looking down the mouth of the revolver, ho replied meekly: All right boss. No pffense meant I reckon.

1 thought you kept yeggs. 'Good-day." The Ilardlues.4 ot American Half Iireeds. The experience of the teachers of the Lincoln Institution confirms the views here expressed, that the mixed Indian is more exempt from pulmonary disease than the pure Indian; and, further, that if the former are attacked by disease, they offer greater constitutional resistance to it than the latter. This view is also confirmed by the large experience of Captain R. IL Pratt, Superintendent of the Carlisle Indian School, who says in his last report: "Our experience is, that the mixed bloods resist disease and death from pulmonary troubles bettor tlwin the full bloods; and our best health conditions are found among those we send out into families due, I think verv largely to the regular occupation and varied diet." Similar views have been expressed by others who have resided among the mixed or half-breed races in the northwestern part of Canada.

These people are said to be strong and hearty, loug-iived, and not subject to disease, so long as they remain in their native climate. They regard themselves as the equal of the aud look in a patronizing way on tho Indian. Their families are usually very lurge, and the female sex is said to be very handsome. Quite recently I had occasion to investigate the question whether pulmonary consumption tends to terminate the American Indian? and I then found that nearly all thoso Indian agencies which show the lowest consumption rate are precisely those which are shown in the table of this paper to conjrain the largest number of mixed bloods. Of course, it is just possible that the presence and the absence of pulmonary consumption in certain tribes is purely a coincidence; yet 1 think, from what has been said concerning tho improved physical condition of the mixed Indian, it is quite eTider.

that the greater immunity of these tribes from consumption Is due to the fact that they comprise a large element which has a superior power ol warding off Scienat Monthly, farmer near Chebanso, HI, having an ox that did not obey orders eon eluded that tho animal was deaf and bought an ear-trumpet, which worked with great success.

SUBSCiOFriOK $100 PER YEAR. i'HILLlPFBURG. 1 KANSAS. THE ALLIANCE WATCHMAN. Having investigated the present financial coudition of the laboring masses; we have found it such as to demand the.

immediate attention of, not only this great body of American, also all those who are interes-tjed in tho general welfare of this great Republic. Labor is ruled by capital with a high and an outstretched arm; and unless tjhis great host will arise in its political strength and throw off the chains of its oppressors, they are doomed. We can only judge the future by the past, and one glympse at past records show the esult. What caie the capitalists and money sharks, so long as they themselves are reaping a bountiful harvest, which they surely are, for. the income jf one noted financier for one hour is to buy the best farm in Pbil- :i.ti?i;est paid annually amounts I It'W' an1 tnis Mflount is to ue ijd when corn 13 worth but 10 cents per bushel, which would require about 78,000,000 bushels.

Then, again, (his mode of destruction reappears in a more dreadful form of trusts, combines and pools, for the sole purpose of gobbling what remains. "IIow is the laborer to meet all these demands which are made directly or indirectly when produce, while in his hands, is far below par, and gold far above. Currency has become a commodity, and is bought and sold, instead of being a circulating medium of exchange. Again, we fear that our representation in congress is not what it should be. This congress proves it by allowing no bill to pass which will prove beneficial to the laboring class.

A bill from Dakota asking for one million to sink artesian wells, in a dry barron region, where humanity suffers greiitly on account of insufficient rainfall, was denied. Ou the heels of this to build a navy, to construct a park, and at the same time $7,400,000 is being paid in caring for government store houses, in which liquors are stored. We have looked upon this scene of imposition as long and as patiently as it ia possible for ambitious youths to do without putting forth some resistance in behalf of the down trodden American citizens. As we glance around and behold with our own eyes the suffering and misery which is caused by the usurpation of the circulating medium, we cannot refrain from making a desperate effort for freedom from financial sharks. Let us stand true to the cause, gird on the whole armor of defence and march tc victory.

For this reason the Watchman goes forth to encourage the armor bearer and to illuminate the pathway to success. Wonder if tho scare dispatches Bent out last week about tho possibility of trouble with Great Britain over the little fishes of the sea weren't manufactured to stem the tide of sentiment which is rrowing against tlie $280,000, 000 appropriation to buil.l new war vessels? If this is a government of. by and for the people, what unearthly right has the senate to slam its doors in the people's fiice? What, supreme insolen-cy. it is for those men sent to the nation's capital to transact the pec pie's business to arrogate to themselves and discrete and pretend that it would be unwise to carry on these deliberations with upon doors. When a public man who owes his prominence and all he has in the world to the vote of the people, 'n whom by the way, lie has no morn interest than he has in tho cattle that graze the prairies, gets so inflated with an exaggerated sense of his own importaneo that lie ImngineH lie is monarch of all be surveys, and that no one dares dispute his sovereignty lest ho be pulver ized with an avalanche of adjectives lind ground to powder beneath the up per and.

Atchison Champion. and to understand it thoroughly they must have a thorough discussion of it. The intelligent discussion among ourselves of the treat questions of reform that now agitate the minda of the American people, will simply make our order stronger and unite us more firmly in the object of reform.

The object of the Farmers' Alliance, summarized, is to unite the farmers lor the promotion of their Interests socially, politically and financially. And how can they promote their interests socially without understanding their conditions, and how can they promote their politicsl interests wilhout understanding their political condition, and how can they promote their financial interests without understanding their financial conditions, and bow can they understand these conditions without a discussion of them Doctors always first diagnose the disease before they apply a remedy. "Educate the people," was the last legacy of George Washington. "Educate the people," was Iheunccas-ing exortation of Thomas Jefferson. "The education of the masses is the bulwark of our political institutions," said Daniel Webster.

The intelligence of the American peo-lpeisthe safe-guard of our liberty," said the immortal Henry Olay. Education ennobles. elevates, it refines, it enlareesour ecopf of vision politically, as well as religiously, it elevates up to a higher plain of civilization and ehristinnby. "Knowledge is power," and the more knowledge we possess in regard to tin treat questions which now draw the attention of the Americau people, the better we understand Ihese questions of reform, the more intelligently can we vote on these questions. The more knowledge we possess con cerning the works of the tariff and mismanagement of our finances the better we are prepared and enabled propose and enact such legislation as will control them.

Nothing under the sun will suit onr sbylocks a- money mongers better, than for us not to discuss the great questions of reform thnt now engage the minds of the American people. They, themselves, nndertand these questions thoroughly, but they do not want us to understand them, ibev want us to remain in ignorance, and he divided in sentiment so that they can carry off tbe spoils. They very well know that whenever we begin to disenssand understand these questions. that moment light wdl begin to break in upon our ignorance, and then we will begin in pood earnest to kick over the political traces we so long and faithfully worked in, and hence the advice, "yon alliance people mustnjt discuss political questions." We all expect to vote, if we live, on these questions, and how can we vote in-'elligenity on them if we do not under. iand them, an 1 how can we understand them wilhout discussing them? Ballot reform, tariff reform and a reform in our financial system, are among the great questions of reform.

The ballot Is onr only hope dref of rievanee," and LeDce its purity is Imperative. On election day men are bought and sold likeso many sheep, and this a'one mako ballot reform imperative. During the last presidential campaign Philadelphia manufacturer deposited two hundred thousand dollars in New Yorl 'ity to buy votes with, while in Indi huh, men were voted in of five;" til they had to do was to name their price. A revision of the tariff Is another one of the great questions of reforn1." But it is claimed bv some ihat the larifTisall right. They say that It.

cuts no liuure. The money question is the question of they say. 13nt I say that the two are twin sisters. The one is the hand-maid of the other, and both need revision and reform. If the ta-ifl is not an important factor in reducing us fanners ti poverty, ard of centerhnr' the wealth of onr country in the bunds of a few.

pray tell me wh.t i.s? If the tariff is not an Important factor of the indiisttia! stagnation ol the country, why did tbe la 1 gent gathering of representative farmers, mechanics and laborers ever held on this continent resolve for ta iff reform? Why (ioa'lthe industrial conventions held in the last year or two, result for tariff reform, and whv docs President Harrison himself in his message to the f)3rd congress, recommend a revision of the tariU', if it Is nn unimportant question? Over two hundred million llars tariff iaxe are collected annO'illy, anil paid iir to an overfl-wing treasury where a yearly surplus of over one hundred million dollars is being accumulated In spite of everv effort to use it up In all manner ol cxtarvMgance. And at the same time 'hat this high tariff compels us to pay a t't of two hundred million dollars into the treasury, it compels us to pay more an one billion of dollars to the prtect- industries. Farming is an industry, is it protected? No It. is not. Senator Plumb In congress declared that the farm er is not protected.

Senator Allison in congress, declares tlint the larnier practically has no protection at all. Well who Is protcted? Somebody Is protect ed, for we find In the Republican Nation- Hi platform ot IStSS, that the American system of prnteetion must be maintained, nod further down in the same document liny ay; "we favor the entire re neat ol the Internal taxes rather than the surrender of toy part of our protected sys tem Somebody is protected, and James A. Foster In a circular letter dated May vti ms, ntho nf'nu protected country says, "they are the ones are most beneiitod by on tariff lawn." "The manufacturers' ce practically the solo benefit of protect ion. and yet, ihny praclically give rmihing to wards the maintenance or the puny that gives them protection." Mr. Powdtrly, the great leader of 'the working men ol this country, says; I lie labor classes are not protecieil only iht manufacturers, The rich receive the protection.

The American manotaciur- er adds tbe duty to what should be the thousand dollars a day as hisshare of the profits, and he is only cue of the eight thousand mllionaires who arc protected in tLe same way, and who deiive their profits in the same manner, and the consumers of their goods pay the protection, and as tbe farmer and laborer consume most of their goods they pay mc0t of the protection. Now tell me, that the tariff is not an important factor, on the one hand to reduce the farmer to poverty, and on the other hand, to make millionaires, and will tell you It is, and I can prove it. flow tu Cook HoBbanda. Miss Corson said in the Baltimore Cooking School that a Baltimore lady had written a receipt for "cooking husbands so as to make them tender and good." It is as follows: Agoodmany husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement Some women go about as if their husbands were bladders and blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessness and.

indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It can not be supposed that any husband will be tender and good, managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated.

In selecting your husband you should not be guided by the silvery appearance as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint as if you wanted salmon. Be sure and select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to market for him, as the best are always brought to your door. It is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn how to cook hiin. A preserving kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware pipkin it will do with care.

See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number ol buttons and strings nicely sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to he weak. They are apt to fly out of the kettle and be burned and crusted on the edges, since, like crabs and oysters, you have to cook them alive. Make a clear, steady fire out of love, neatness and cheefnloess. Set him as near this as seems to agree with him.

If he sputters and tizZlesdo not be anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used ith judgment. Do not stick any sharp in-sti'umcnt into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently; watch the while, lest he lie too flat and close to the kettle and so become useless.

You can not fail to know when he is done. If thus treated you will find him very digestible, agreeing; nvcelv with you and the children, and ha wifl keep as long as you waut unless you become careless and set him in too cool a place.

title Gum. THl? ART OF TEACHIXO. When the object of thought is before the mind of the learner there must be the skillful direetian of his observation, imagination, thought and expression by the teacher. These four lines of the pupil's activity are fundamental in his acquisition and use of knowledge, in determining his feeling, choice, and action. By observation he carefully notes the material or mental object before the mind, and acquires from it the facts of knowledge.

His imagination takes thoughts parts of different individual wholes perceived and combines them into the thought of a new whole, producing those ideal objects, which occasion so large a part of the pleasures and beno-tits of taste, and which lure the mind to higher and better achievement. By comparison, abstraction, analysis and synthesis in his thinking he forms general concepts and classes of things, derives principles and general truths, in tho acquisition of scientific knowh edge. By language, or the power of ex pression, he finds the fittest words for the ideal products of the imagination, and the simple, precise, logical state menU for his thoughts. Each of these dills forth the emotions, desires, and affections, those Becret springs of action which determine tho choices, purpose, aud moral quality of tho man. These are tho products of the right activity of these powers.

The mind, In the midst of numberless objects of thought solicited by sights and sounds ou every side with out, and suggested thoughts within, is inclined to flit, liko a butterfly, from one new object, to another, or to yield Itself to follow aimlessly tho suggestion of one thought by another, to the wasting of its energy. Careful, concentrated, continuous, orderly effort is not easy, nor always agreeable. Ira-pulse and inclination oftuu have control. Hence, tho necessity for the tklllful direction of the pupil along these font fundamental lines of right activity, by the teacher. In this direction of the pupil's activities tho teacher should aim to sectiro tho following ends.

Tho nluntary direction of the aU lention to the object of thought so thai Farmers on the Lockout The alliance movement has set farmers to thinking of and watching the r.ctior.s of our representatives at to see how the 618.000,-000 that was in the treasury on November 1 last, will be appropriated. We have noticed a bill introduced to build a navy, appropriating nearlvtifl-Hiu 000.000. This is a time when con-presses are called to settle the differences of nations. Invention and science are marching onward with such gigantic strides that ere the last vessel of the navy will be built the present enginery of death would be ol little use compared with the improvements that will follow. But why this large appropriation for war? Various reasons have been given in answer, but the one that seems to affect the people most is that this vast amo nt ol enginery for death is being preparer! for the struggle of capital against labor.

The history of the past iuis shown us the great agitations among the peo-for reform have ended in war. War. that demon that hungers and thirsts for blood, and whose appetite is nevci satisfied. A bill that calls for hundreds of millions of dollars for death and not one million to bore wells in the Dakotas to get water that will bring prosperity and happiness toone million of her citizens, who have in the past ten year3 contributed over twenty millions now in the treasury of the United states. It may lie objected to on account that such legislation was for a special locality.

We have prei eden that nr. overcome that. How many millions have been spent on the banks of the Mississippi, and justly, to keei the country from being overflowed: Surely our southern brothers will not tbject to giving us that which we need, and for which intimepasl vehave contributed so mucn to protect them from.
