J isnp 7th 1tt THE EDITORS CHAIR, HOW THINGS LOOK FROM OUtt STAND POINT. The Ooinion of Tha Editor and the Opinion of Others which wc Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. The partizan proHH (and they am not so much to blame, for they are dupe of the corporation and Wall f-tre.ft syndicates known as the united press and associate I press that warp nnd pervert tho news through their pres dispatches whic!i they send out daily to the papers) have been trying to make the wond believe that the Alliance was dead in Xansa and other States where elections were held this year. In proof ot this they fctato that the People's party swept Kansas last year and that this year it has elected only two judges in the whole St 1 1 i - Their first error is in confounding the People's party and the Alliance. The People's partv is no inorr the Alliance in Kansas than is the Democratic party the Alliance in North Carolina, 'iho Alliance has not officially endorsed the Peo ple's party in Kansas any more than it has the Democratic and Republican parties. Jr short the Alliance has not, will nnd cannot officially endorse any pruty. In the second place the People's purfy did not have a sweep ing victory m Kansas lat year, it lo.t its State ticket, but fleeted near ly every congressman. And why? There are thousands of Alliance men in Kanas who do not belong to the People's pa ty. They voted for the candidates for State and munici pal offices in their own parties, but the candidates tor congressmen in their pnrtics refusing to support the principles of the Alliance, they vo ted for the only candidates who did and they were the candidates of the People's nartv. Hence the defeat of tho State ticket and the election of their congressmen. This year the election was, for Judges only. The Alliance. as a body caves nothing stbout who is judge so he is honest and capable. So the members of the ill . . 11 I " Amance simpiv looKeuior inamum, or every thing being equal, voted for the nominees of their respective par tics. But even if the Alliance and the People's party in Kansas were the same, the elections there would be a hopeful sin. Why? Because the Democrats and the Republicans would never have joined hands in a fight :igain:-t the People's party if it nad not grown stronger since last year two strong for either partv to make a fight against it single-handed Every week we see long and lire some articles intended to oppose the Sub-Treasury plan of finarcial re form. The writers of these articles are either ignorant of the evils that oppress us and the plan th3 farmers Are urSS to Rive reliefer they, seeing the true objects of the plan and the results that would follow its naSrationf purposely avoid them. They use time and efforts in barking at an(1 trying to ridicule the details of the proposed bill. The chief points at issue nre : Do vou favor a I currency Laed on a simple govern ment promise to pay (bonds), which is worse than fiat money which ilitn -irf ironiln onfl 12 J,11 Kv verv tew. or a eurrencv based mi land, labor and the products of la- bor ? If yu are opposed to the for mer, you want a cnange, it you are in favor of tho latter then you are for the Sub-Treasury plan; if you are in favor of the first you are with Wall street and against the people. Second, Are vou in favor of high or low interest? Half of the opnosi- tioa to the Sub-Treasury p 4 . , dlsPar lf e weretobh lan would blot out two percent and put instead ten per cent. The farmer to le free, much less prosperous, cannot pay a higher rate of interest than the profits of agri culture to him. This hole system of usury and high interest is the curse and bane of nations and the rlslrrYJr t-C pIvmIitiiI inn. Tf t vi-Iiaf I i ssi..is . , - i-uj , a mockery and disgrace. If there s any sia above all others which re- ceives the stinging condemnation of I s. . i-i mjiou, ii 13 imere&i. nu jrou says, "The nUiou which tepi His l Word haH die-". te Then why uo tnose who oppose us refrain from attacking the principles and general idea of this plan ? Be cause they know it to be so sound, wise, just and practicable, so perfect in harmony w ith true financial and governmental progress, ba33don tbe - "'. -to. hie by valid argument. - Nine-tentha of llw men who are Wg 'he Sab.Tre,sury plaa do so V, i s l : :.... i I uj ncmuiiug 10 huivjujc evuic uro- posed detail for putting the plan into inrsnnt;nn -rir , i j . points of detail with a man, first ask him how he stands on the principle on which the pbn is based. Ask him if he favors a larger and flexi ble volume of money. A currency based on labor and the prodails of labor, as well as on other securities, and money at a low rate of interest a rate not higher than the average profits of wealth produced. You will find In nearly every case, intact in every case, that that man will in the bottom of hz heart be opposed to the above principles. Then make him discuss the principles, for why discus's the details of a plan with a m in who is opposed to the princi ples of the plan? Why does he dodge the principles of the plan? Because it is easier to ridicule de tails than to answer just principles. Whenever you find an intelligent, honest and fair-minded man oppos ed to the Sub-Treasury plan, he has not read and carefully studied the principles of the plan, but is suffer ing from tho biased view of news papers i.r ethers who had a purpose in misrepresenting the plan, or else were :;s ignorant of it as he himself. Before the recent election in New York Rev. Tom Dixon from Ids pal pit in plain language condemned pome of the methods of Tammany and arraigned some of tho leiders of the organisation and charged them with political crimes, etc. Ileruade plain statement of facts and chal lenged contradiction. Tho papers did not comment on his remarks till after the election, waiting to see which way tho wind would blow. iaintnany with all of its corrupt methods was successful. '-Now manv pap ers are jumping on the monster who had the nerve and the moral courage to denounce wrong in high places and to expose tke corrupt, oc cupying high positions. They are pre? uming to give him advice and lectuie him about putting his "gab" into politics. Such papers are de grading journalism by sheering for ii n i I uie winner wneiner rigni or wrong, i ii we nan more preacners wno wouiu preach a practical religion, we would iractical religion, we would corruption in politics and . , . lestyin business. Vould have less Jesodishones that the Christian pulpit had ten thousand Tom Dixon's. The Southern parlizan newspapers are raising a howl because some man e raising a howl because some man said that if the Alliance broke up i broke ud the sum South and did nothing else it would be entitled to the lasting dead br0ke. The price for'his cot gratiaulo of ali patriots. Let us see ton had contracted, but taxes and about this. Sue-nose that man had sfntoil llio PnnvPNn rr rntlior tht I compliment of that statement and said if the Alliance should break up '.he solid North, etc., then the North ern partizan papers would be doing tho howling. Now, at the risk of putting all the partizan papers to embodied in the Sub-Treasury, Plan, howling, we say that we would like Loud mouthed time servers and p?u to see the solid North and the solid tocratic henchmen keep saying that s.outh both broken. In fact if you break one you break the other. As long as there is a solid South, there will be solid North. Solid about what? Solid on sectional issues. This means the reign of the bloody shirt at the expense of reason, conv mon sense and the best interests of the wealth producers of the natio i We want and must have co-operation on the line of common interests, ir respective of latitude or longitude, before there is any material and aqd lasting prosperity for the great bulk of our people. t (4 1 1 1 . - In, 1 '-t .1 .-1 XI "Then let us nu.. . " That come it may, as come it," etc. It is very amusing to read in para! lei advice given to the farmers be fore and after their organization of the Alliance. Before they organized enough could not be given, urging them to organize. The papers and politicians were especially urgent, But n)w how is it? Before, they said the hope of the country was in II S , A1S i iiius organizing auu uii-ing an mier- est in politics. Now they preach! " " .t, . the very thing they so strongly ad vised.

On the Way from Smyrna t o Epliesu. 15andits, ' Robbers and 'Pilgrims. Present Appearance of tlie Place "Wlierc Paul fought With Bears. Brooklyn, Nov. 15. Dr. Tahnage continued this morning his series of ser mons entitled, "From the Pyramid! to tho Acropolis." This sermon, which is the fifth of the series, is concerned with the doctor's visit to Kphesns, of which city, with its wonderful temple and other buildings, he gives a vivid descrip-, tion, with characteristic exegetical com ments on obscure passages of Scripture. His text was Acts xix, 34, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." We hare landed this morning at Smyrna, a city of Asiatic Turkey. One of the seven churches of Asia onco stood hero. You read in Revelation, To the ehurcli in Smyrna write." It Lj a city that has often been shaken by i , earthquake, swept by conflagration, blasted by plagues, and butchered by war, and here Bishop Polycarp stood in a crowded amphitheater, and when he was nsked to give up the advocacy of the Chi Istian religion and save him self from martyrdom, the proconsul saying, "Swear and I release thee; re proach Olirist," replied, 4 'Eighty and six years have I served him, and ho never did me wrong ; how then can I revile my King and Saviour?" When he wa3 brought to the fires into which ha was about to bo thrust, and the officials were about to fasten him to the stake, he said, "Let me re main 03 I am, for he who giveth me strength to sustain the fire will enable me also without your securing me with nails to remain unmoved in the-fire.'' History says the fires refused to con sume liim, and under the winds the flames bent outward so that they did not touch hi3 person, and therefore he was slain by swords and spears. One cypress bending over his grave i3 the only monument to Bishop Polycarp. . But we are on the way to the city of Ephesu , about fifty miles from Smyr na. Wo are advised not to go to Ephe sus; the bandits in that region have had an ugly practice of cutting off the ears of travelers and sending these specimens of ears down to Smyrna, de manding a ransom, xne Danaits sug gest to the friends of the persons from whom the ears have been subtracted that if they would like to have the rest of the body they will please fcend an ap propriate sum of money. If the money Is not sent the mutilated prisoners will be assassinated. One traveler was car ried off to the robbers' den and 7,500 was paid for his rescue. The bandits were caught and beheaded, .and pic tures of these ghastly heads are on sale in the shops of Smyrna for any persons who may desire to have something to look at on their way to Ephesus. There have been cases where tea and twenty and thirty and forty thousand dollars have been demanded by these brigands. We did not feel like putting our friends to such expense, and it was suggested that we had better omit Enhesus. But that would have been a disappointment from which we would never recover. We must see fcphesus associated with the most wonden.ul apostolic scenes. We hire a special railway train, and in about an hour and a half we arrive at the city of Pni.n wh?c.h wns called "The Great Metropolis of Asia," and "One of the Eye3 of Asia," and "The Empress cf Ionia," the capital of all learning and magnificence. Here, as I said, was one of the seven churches of Asia, and first of all we visit the ruins of that church where once an ecumenical council of two thousand ministers of religion was held. TEE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA. Mark the fulfillment of the prophecy of the seven churches of 'Ssia; four were commended in the Book of Beve lation and three were doomed.

Yes, Paul says, "I have fought with beasts at Epliesi, an ex- predion usually taken as figurative, but I suppose jt was literally true, for ono of the amusements in that Stadium was to put a disliked man in the arena with a hungry lion or tiger or panther, and let the fight go on until either tho man or the beast or both were slain. It must have bejn great fun for these haters of Christianity to hear that on the morrow in tho Stadium In F.phesos the missionary Paul would, In tho pres ence of tho crowded galleries, fight a hungry lion. The people were early thero to get the best seats, and a more alert and enthusiastic crowd never as sembled. They took their dinners with them. And was there ever a more unequal combat proposed.
