It has reached the stage where guidance is needed, rather than ridicule ant! denunciation. In their endeavor to secure organi zation the farmers soon discovered tht necessity of broadening their educa tion, especially in the field of econo micsf and iolitics.

In another direction the farmer movement has thrown a great deal of light upon co-operation, both distri butive and productive; and organiza tion, education and co-operation have led the farmers'" movement toward po litical action, in which slowly, bat rarely, they have been educating themselves for practical participation During the last presidential; election the People's party cast 1,122,045 bal lots, out of a total of 12,154,542 votee They secured 22 votes in the Electoral College, and this was the first time since 1856 that a third party secured an electoral vote.

There is a small tribe of Indians in Southern "Arizona who are idolators. They are in reality sun .worshipers, but makemall images out of clay with faces supposed to represent the sun, although bearing little if any resem blaiice to it. They do not associate withpther tribes, and are very rarely seen by white" men. The idols have largfij round bodies and heads, with eyesVand mouth and ears, beams radi cating from the eyes over the face. 'The Indians have these in their rude houses or wigwams, and at eertain seasons they, hold a sun dance, which is with them a religious ceremony.

Lowry, a. prominent bank er of Atlanta, in a letter to the Atlanta Constitution, says: "I believe in th next I twenty years, with the modern devices for mining, the gold regions ol upper ; Georgia, - western North Caro lina and a part of South Carolina will produce more gold than California evei did. I If our hills and valleys abound in this precious metal, which they do, should not every effort be put forth tt develop them? Let the world kno that we have gold of the finest quality which is at par the world over ; give u a mint; let the general government en courage our mines by this needful in etitution, when I am satisfied tha re suit will be surprising to those whe haya not looked into the question."! Mr. Lowry has carefully studied ith situation, and is satisfied that there art vast possibilities in the gold ores ol the South. If one-hilf of what thost who, like Mr. Lowry, have investigated the matter say of the gold ores of the Carolinas and Georgia be true,; thai section is destined to become the cen: .re i of great mining activity. ; I Developing Florida. , E.

Neb.! after spending a winter, at Kiasimmee FlaJj.has left for' his home, and statei that he will shortly return with twenty colonists whom he intends to locate on part of a 4000-acre tract, of land in Florida, which he has purchased. : It is Mr. Crane's intention to colonize the entire tract, and he expects before the year has expired to dispose' of ' the 4000 acres. O nly seventy-five acres are to be sold to each man. dition the Republicans will make gains, but not enough to control either House, but the probability is that the next Congress will be much more favorable to the policy advocated by the People s part v. Unless all signs fail, it will not be a reform tariff Congress, but it will be one of increasing hostility to capital' ietio power. The People's party prin ciplee will be strongly represented, and the work of economic reform will be fairly launched upon the political water's.
