There was a very good gath ering of farmers and others in the court house Wednesday, of last week, to hear Ben. Terrell, the alliance orator of Texas, talk on the alliance. The meeting was called to or der by Gen. K. B. Vance and J. 8. Bell, state senator from Clay county, was called to the chair He iutrodured the speaker. ' Mr. Terrell said he wanted to talk in a way- that would not provoke prejudice and wanted the audience to hear with minds from all prejudice. He was, he said, a believer in the alliance and was not able to see any way out of the present difficulties except by education, express ing himself as opiiosed to ugita- tions or prejudices, and stating trtat tun only way to discuss tno alliance is to present its de mands. He denied that the farmers want to break up the merchants, but said what they want is a free competitive mar ket lie could not conceive of an interest that would be hurt by benefitting the firmer. politics. -As to politics, he said that the farmer is more interested in t he country than any other class and has a right to discuss mat ters in which he is interested. He said that the cry . that the alliance will break up the par ties is a foolish one, and it is a Mxr admission for a party to say that wnen the larmer be comes intelligent enough to see his condition it will hurt the "It is," continued Mr lerrell, a well understood fact that the amount of money and produce on hand controls the price of produce and the fanner should educate the people on them and et them then vote conscienti ously and intelligently. "Here is an organization that has nothing to do with partisan politics. Each man may vote for himself and the only object is to educate him so as to vote intelligently. If your party is for the right government for all, then education of the masses will help it, but if the party is afraid of eduction, lam aop posed to the party. LASU OWNERSHIP. "The first demand we made is in regard to the ownership of land. We want the govern ment to prohibit corporations from owning land except what is necessary to transact their business. Heretofore the labor ing mon have been divided by party lines and the money pow er has ruled, but we intend that it shall be different. We do not want to discuss party politics, but to do what is best for the home. The Alliance is not a f raid of any party. The only way you can get the farmers' vote in 1SV2 is to convince vs that your measures are the best for the farmers and for all classes. . "The next demand Is in re gard to taxation. Don't you be lieve that all property should.be taxed!1 We want equal and just taxation, and on y what is necessary tor the government. If you are not in favor of this we'll not vote for you in '92. I woul 1 not care for a party that says it is in lavor ol us ana then won t prove it, any more than for a girl that would tell ineshe loved me und then not let me kiss her. We will not sock for any party, but for the right. TRAXSPOKTATIOX. - "I now come to another qucs tion. The control of tranxpor tat ion, so as to free it from op- ircssion. The railroads are puu io highways and there should be no discrimination in rates. This is a great evil and has got to stop. The , tranBjHirUtioii lines of this country should not have any more than a good di vidend on their capital. The next demand is in regard to money. It is natural for the farmer, in making demands on this question, to make them radical, lie proposes to make money the servant and not the master lie wants the govern niont. when it makes a dollar to make it wort.i a dollar ami not to have different values for dif ferent dollars. If Vu will show us that this is unjust, we will withdraw it, but we want argu meats and not assertions. Our next demand is for tho govern mnnt to make the circulation 150 per capita. The public debt is as great now as in ihgo. be cause of the depreciation of pro ducts notwithstanding the fact that much of the debt has been paid oil. Ought not the govern ment to increase thecirculation, so as to counteract the effect of the contraction of the power of the dollar? Money 48 not now distributed fairly. All we ask ia to make a basis for the dis tribution of money,-: This is the sub-treasury plan. 1 want crit icism ou this and am , willing to d bate it throughout the state with any man. I want to dis cuss thesub-tre-isury bill. They say the . government has no right to become a pawn shop, but whisky is taken in bond, as also silver bullion and gold bul lion. If you establish home storage of products, you will destroy all combines aud specu lations jn the products and will help the farmer.'i As it is the farmers have to sell their grain as soon as possible, and, there fore, the market . is glutted and t ie price sputdown, nut by the sub-treasury storage plan this will be alleviated. ; "The farmers are not all good, nor is any other class of men, but the entire class is not to be condemned by the actso '., a few. A man should not be elected to office or rejected because of his party relations, but every man should vote for the best man for the place." ' ' . Mr. Terrell spote tor aoout wo hours, and on conclusion was riven a vote of thanks by the audience. He spoke at night to the laboring men and those who could not attend in the day time, 'i., Ram Burned Hiding A or . htalk. v ' Onlu'a waar ' ', Last Friday morning about 10 o'clock the feed barn of Mr. Jacob Long, living about two and a half miles east or this place, was found to be on fire. A big lot of fodder in the barn was in a light blaze when first discovered. The large double barn and four adjacent buildings used for feeding purposes were burned, also a big lot of teed, two wagons, and farm machin ery. The dwelling ana oiner buildings were witn aimcuity prevented from burning. ' It is a heavy loss. The origin of the nre is unknown. lneuiean- er is informed or. tne strange antics of aHawfi;k'4 gentleman a few days ago."' Said gentle man went to a near neighbor's riding a corn stalk. In this manner he galloped around, wking more like a crazy man than a sane one. He was asked what was the matter, what he was doing, and the like, but he answered not. Finally he was asked if he had a new baby at his his house and he answered yes, two of 'em. Such fantastic tricks as men sometimes cut. IVn Ciiews a Iy.

The Washington Critic gives the following simple and con cise statement "of tho present condition of National Treasury: There is a $12,000,000 actual cash balance on Hand, and the May receipts are estimated at 22,000,000, making a total of $ 34,000,000. -The ordinary ex penses for May are put down at I il ,000,000, and the June pen sion payments, due on the 4th, will amount to28,000,0O0inore, a total of $49,000,000. A 'simple example in subtraction will de monstrate that $:J4,000,000 will not pay $49,000,000 of indebted ness. There will be a shortage of $15,000,000 and of course this will have to be raised somehow. The Government has $25,000,000 deposited with national banks and about $20,000,000 in f rac tional silver coin. If this sub sidiary coin can b v distributed on the plan adopted by the Sec retary the national banks may retain their deposits If not, the banks will have to give up.

Work ami Talk for Better RaJ Don't wait for winter to come. but commence now to work, for better roads. x ears ago poor overseers dozed while their neighbor's hauled ; small loads over bad roads, but iu this day the progressive farmers will no longer tolerate them. We copy what the Garden and Forest says upon the subject; "The agita tion for improved systems . of road-construction f: and road maintenance has become so gen eral throughout the country that it may be fairly said to have atj-dned the dignity pf a popular government i The Sub ject is calling forth articles by writers of authority in our lead ing magazines anil weekly journ als, in the bulletins of scientific societies and state -.experiment stations, and in pamphlets is sued by various associations or- faizod for economic reform, j he governors of halt a dozen states have felt impelled to in vite attention to the importance of the subject in their annual messages; in several of the statss, notably, in New Jersey, laws have been enacted during the winter which overthrow the traditional methods of highway repairs, and in other legislatures l f 1 1 , Ti . wins are unuer consiu aaiion, with probability that they will become laws, which provide for state aid and expert supervision in the maintenance of high ways, and it is proposed in more than one instance to use the di rect tax money which has been returned by the generai govern ment to individual states as a permanent fund for the improve ment of country roads. The sentiment in favor of re form in this matter would be still more urgent if the mass of the people had any experimental knowledge . of . superiority- of good roads over poor ones. When farmers can be shown by actual practice that good roads, by enabling them to double their loads, a id to the value of everything carried away to sell, save minuttij and hours every day which amount to days and weeks in the year, and bring them closer to markets and a musemonts, schools and church es, they will urgently demand a reform which prouiises to add so much to their comfort and profit. And they will be still more eager for this improve ment .when they find that it costs one dollar to - keep in re pair a good macadam road in stead of the five dollars which they have been paying in taxes to maintain the same length of dirt toad, 111.011 which, even when in fair condition, three horses are required to haul the load which one can draw on a pnqwrly metaled surface.
