Eight Crisp Reasons "What Alliance is Here For." the In the National Farmers' Congress at Sedaliii, Mo., Congressman John T. Hoard, of Missouri, delivered an address on railway transportation, which, he said, was n subject of supreme importance to the farmer. One of the solutions was found in State railway commissions. Missouri had been among the first of the States to deal with the question that way, and Missouri's experience showed that the method had been successful. Another method of controlling a railroad corpora lion in the interests of the people was through the national railway commission. Some professed to believe that a railroad should be placed under Government man agement. Government railroading, he believed, would be a gigantic failure. In the first place the Government would have to buy the railroads, and that would cost 10,000,000,000. That would be impossible and impracticable, because there was in circulation onlv $1, 300, 000, 00i. II. C. Brown, of Georgia, endorsed every tiling that he had heard said. Georgia, he said, had tried State owner ship of railways. Georgia owned the Western and Atlantic Railway. Under Stste control the rates were high, the service was bad and deficits were extra ordinary. The State found that it had been too expensive to run its own railway, and the liur was ieased to private indi viduals. Under private control the road charged cheaper rates, gave better ser vice, paid a rental of :i.000 a month and made money for the lessees. Resolutions were introduced recom mending tht tbr President of the Uni ted States nd United States Senators be elected by a direct popular vote; demand jug an extension,-of the signal service re ports issued by the agricultural depart ment; requesting the Federal Govern ment to aid the State in the litigation of arid lands. The rerohttions were all adopted with the exception of the latter, which the Congress defeated by 44 to 17. A resolution asking Congress t im prove ths harbor pf Savaunah was loudly applauded and unanimously adopted. The committee on finance presented a report requesting the various State Leg islatures to make appropriations for the expenses of State delegations to future congresses of this character in order that each State may have full and proper rep icsentation. The report was adopted. The administration of the department of agriculture by Secretary Piusk was highly commended in the resolution. The following additional resolutions were also adopted: Requesting the Sec retary of Agriculture to increase the num ber of representatives in foreign countries to push the work of introducing Ameri can corn as food, believing that marked success in that direction attained already is warranted for such a lequcst, and re questing Congress t appropriate suf ficiently to cover the expenses of this in creased representation abroad; demand ing a systematic and thorough improve ment by the Federal Government of the waterways and harbors of the United States; requesting the extension of the del ivery of the mails among farmers; de manding the control of all trust and mo nopolies, so that they shall work no harm to the people. WHAT THE ALLIANCE IS HERE FOR. The Alliance is seeking to make the rich man pay his proportion of the taxes. It is seeking to pay up the bouds that have almost ruined" the people and nation. It is seeking to forthwith reduce the salaries of officials to an ; equal of other salaries and prices. It is seeking to break up the specula tor's corner in grain and pork. It is seeking to make it possible for a poor man to get money as cheap as a banker can get it. It is seeking to have the government issue all money in sufficient quantity to do the business of the country. It is seeking to watch the Congress from the people's side for the next 2-3 years. It seeks to make a profit in farming and industry and not in money-lending. It attacks the giant monopoly and it intends to follow him to bis overthrow Vindicator. 3fj )jC 5$t Ji )jc The Raleigh Progressive Farmer says ''That the growth "of the Alliance has been 'too rapid to keep track of during the past month.' "Tnere has been a net increase of 400 members in the Alliance in Oklahoma, 02 Sub-Alliances have been formed in North Dakota with a net increase of 2,000 members, Iowa is said to be 'doing some glorious, aggressive and successful work' with 0,000 new members of the Order, 14 counties have been organized in Cali fornia, an increase of 1,000 members is reported from South Dakota, West Vir ginia is credited with 10,000 new mem bers, and of Ohio it is said that 'the Buckeye State heads the list' with 13 new counties orgmized with 170 Sub-Alliances and an increased membership of 10,000. Mississippi is credited with a net increase in membership of over 1,000 since December 1, 1S00, aod the urowth of the Order in Louisiana is put down at .100 members. The following statement is made in regard to the situation in South Carolina: "Twenty-two new Sub-Alliances have been established, with about 1,000 new members, but a loss of nearly as many have been sustained. This is the only State recently heard from in which an increase in membership is not reported.'' Jay Gould says he "can buy the vote of a farmer member of the legislature for the price of a bull calf.'' Again he says, "I ( an hire one-half the farmers of the United States to shoot the other half to death." Upon four and one-half acres of land a colored planter near Fort Gaines-, Ga., raised five bales of cotton this vear. lie finds it profitable to raise cotton at five cents tt pound, And his name is Hnry Johnston. lie is shrewd enough to hold bis crop for a rise in the market. Oil from American com is being used ov German soap manufacturers. The farmers of this country have not only to feed Europe but to wash Lurope a face. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Boston, Mass.) has the largest fly wheel. Tiny incandescent lights are now rhada for surgical uses. Electric wedding has been applied to to the manufacture of projectiles for light guns. Two Maine women have discovered an acid that bleeches wood pulp designed to used in the manufacture of paper. The Calumet and Heel Work3 have a smelting vrorks in Buffalo, X. Y., the capacity of which will be 250 tons per month When you are floating through ice fields in the ocean you go very slowly. The Jeannette drifted through the Arctic Ocean at the rate of two inile.3 a day. The wear upon Cape Cod, Mass., coast is shown to be at the rate of 755, 756 cubic yards per year, or an annual wear of the coast equal to a distance of about eight feet. G. W. Dunn, the California naturalist, has collected over 70,000 insets belong ing to the horn-winged family, 5000 of the Cricket tribe and about 4000 but terflies, and numerous rare plants and amnals. A rack railway seven miles in length h under construction on the Usni Mount ain, Japan, to connect the termini of the State railway at Yokohama and Ks.rnisawa. There are twenty-one tun nels, 12,200 feet in length in all, along the line, and the steepest grade is one to fifteen. A recent improvement in making barrels consists in making each alternate stave ot soft wood and somewat thicker than the others. When the staves are put together and the hoops driven down, the hardwood staves are thus crowded into their softer neighbor, making a tight joint. A new saddle has serie? of spring con necting the upper saddle-tree, or seat, with the. lower, to relieve the rider from constant jolting. The springs are cone shape, working within each other, are of tempered steel, so as to work freely wherever the motion of the horse may bring the weight of the rider. The hair that is taken fron hide? at tanneries has found a new use. Formerly this hair was of little value. By a new process it is taken from the hida by a machine which at the same time cleanse it, and it is then baled and seat to ths factory, where it is utilized in making cloth "all wool" and a yard wid3. A sixty-seven-ton gun on board tha British armored vessel Howe ha? de veloped a defect in the inuer tubs similar to that recently found in one of the big gun3 of the English ironclad Auson, the flagship of the Channel Squadron. The Admiralty is greatly exercise 1 over tin repeated discoveries of defects in British guns. The absolute conversion of tar into gas can now be e lected without leaving any residue in a retort. The process consists in in jecting a spray of tar by means of a Korting jet supplied with superheated steam mto a red-hot retort half filled with coke. The eras has a hish candle-power and does not need the use of expensive enrichiug material. The injury of metallic sleepers from corrosion has been greatly overrated. Even in the damp climate of the Nether lands the loss from corrosioa does not, it is said, exceed four per cent, in twenty years. Experience in India shows that metallic sleepers which are subjected to a special treatment before leaving the works are thoroughly to be relied on for efficiency and lasting wear. The new artificial quinine producad by Messrs. Grimaux and Araaud, of Paris, is mentioned as one of th greatest dis coveries of the year. It is obtained by treating the base cuprein of a Brazilian shrub with sodium, then treating the ra sulting compound with chloride of methyl. The product is quinine abso lutely identicil with the substance that has become so fa-niliar and so indis pensable. Jleat-Eatin? Plants. Notwithstanding the admitted fact that bits of meat, iusects and other an imal substances are more quickly decora posed in the leaves and other trap-like appendages of the picher plant, venu: fly-traps, sundews and various others of the so-called "insect-eating plants" than they are in open air, there is a body oi scientists who deny that the plant itself has anything to do with the matter. These same scientists, who have fre quently given their views to the world, deny the old supposition that the plants of the insect-eating kind even exercise vital power in capturing the prey which falls into their nets. The learned Dr. Morsetdt is one of the skeptics. He says that the effect produced upon insects by these plants is a chemical change similar to that produced upon the skin and flesh of one who has come in contact with an poisonous plant or vine. St. Louis Re public. Six Les and Two Tail?. A farmer living six miles east of Sir coxie, Robert Schooling by name, has a pig with six legs and two tails. Four of the legs are on one side, each possessing a perfectly formed foot, while the extra tail is situated on one side. It can move the two extra legs about the same as the others, but does not use them in walking as they do not quite reach the ground. The pig now weighs about ninetv pounds and its mates weigh nearly 300. iktrevsie (Mo.) Vindicator. Kansas City, Kan., is to have a 1. 250,000 cotton-miU. Wet Feet Cause Col L The dispensaries are crowded wjth women and children who have C!rugM coid. The doctors herd all sorts and degrees of rheum to attend to, from the sniffling, wheezing small boy to the coughing and straining old man. One of the physicians said to a Sun reporter: "If these people would only have sense enough to keep their feet dry they would bo all right. I tell you that wet feet fill niore graf cyaf ds than an epidemic of cholera: All the children thdt came in here to-day with swollen eyes and heads stopped up had wet feet. It's the same way with men; You would think that an intelligent business man would know enough to fake care of himself, but he doesn't. The average New Yorker goes down town and tramps around in the wet until his feet are cold and damp. He gets icto a perspiration and goes back to his office, where he takes off his coat and sits in his shirt sleeves. There is not arl office in this city where there is not a draught, and that mau will find that draught and sit in it. Then he sneezes a few times and says: lI will catch cold if I sit this way any longer.' He does not appreciate the facUhat he has caught cold already "When he goes homey instead of put ting on dry socks and warm slippers, he takes a drink of hot whisky. Now, what connection is there between hot whisky and a cold in the head? None. He gets into another perspiration, and the chances are that he will catch more cold. "With the women it is all the same way. Take the young girls you see tramping about in the mud of Fifth ave nue and Broadway. Nine out of ten have got on low shoes; Is it surprising that they have colds? They have hot had time to lay in their winter stock of foot wear, or else they think their feet look better in low shoe?, and they wear them until the snow falls. But it is of no use talking. As long as the earth turns on its axis people will have colds." New York &'ni. London Police. The accompanying illustration gives a representation of an officer and a privato n the Metropolitan Police Force of London. The government of this body, ' which is the largest civic patrol in the world, is decidedly more military than obtains m any American city, for the Chief is a Crown official and receives inspiration from the British War Office. The roundsman, who is familiarly known as a "Bobby," is not the digni fied and inperious creature people in American cities arc accustomed to obey. For a slight remuneration he will hail a cab or hold your horse, while a sover eign discreetly administered will grant the most hilarious roysterer immunity from arrest. A Lonsr Night Reduced. The long Polar night will be hence forth more bearable to the 2000 inhab itants of Hammerfest, in Norway, the northernmost village of Europe. Electric light has been introduced into every house in the hamlet. The power is brought from three small streams a short distance from Hammerstein, whose cur rents are so strong and swift that the water does not freeze even in winter. The people of the town have reason, iu. deed, to be grateful to the inventor of the electric light. The long night begins at Hammerstein cu November IS and lasts until January 23, so that the ar tificial illumination will be of service for sixty-six days. On the other hand, it will be practically useless and unneces sary from May 10 to July 20, during which time the sun never ceases to shine. Hammerstein lies in north latitude 70 degrees 30 minutes 15 seconds. At 07 degrees 23 minutes, north latitude, the longest night lasts one month; at 09 degrees, 51 minutes it lasts two months, and at 73 degree 40 minutes, three months. The polar night is shortened and the polar day is lengthened by the refraction of light. The inhabitants of Hammerstein, in fact, have no real night between March 30 and September 12. JYieifl TorJc Trilune. Substitute lor -Has. An Austrian inventor has produced a substance which he claims to be a good substitute for glass. It is produced by dissolving from four to eight parts of collodion wool in about 103 parts, by weight, of ether or alcohol or acetic ether, and with this are intimately com bined from two to four per centum of castor oil, or other noa-resinous oil, and four to ten per centum of reda or Cana da balsam or other balsam (soft resin). "The compound whec poured up'ja a glass plate and subjected to the drying action of a current of air of about lifty degrees Centigrade solidifies in a com puacively short time into a transparent glass-like sheet or plate, the thickness of which may be regulated as required. The sheet or plate so obtained has sub stantially the same properties as glass, a3 it will resist the action of salts and alkali and of di'.ute acids, and like glass is transparent and has no smell. On the other hand, it has the advantage of be ing pliable or flexible and infrangible to a great degree, while its inr! auiuiability is much less than that of the collodion substitutes."
