Tlio Ohio Farmors1 Alllanco has ex- Iblted a great deal more horse sense lian the nlllanccs of KantMis and No- raska. The Ohio farmers have decided o cxerl their influence upon the two rent parties toward the promotion of lie objects for which they are contend- \ \ % . In other words , its mambjiM do ot projiose to eut loose from the parties o which they belong nnu K ° o\l \ on a ingent to orjjanlzo a new parly of their iwn in which at best they would only lirow their voles away. Their lenders re evidently nagacious enough to know liatnuw parties cannot bo created in a ay or in a decade. For : iore than thirty years only two par ies have been dominant In this country nd whatever reforms have been chioved or whatever abuses have been bated Is duo to one or tTio other of those great parties. Xew parties have sprung p llko mushroom ) every few years , and ike now pa porn they all caino to Illl a ong-folt want. All of them have pointed o the SUCCOBS of tlio abolition ropub- leans , but none of thorn over allude to he faet that the abolition republicans over eould have succocJod if the doino- nitlc party had not split in the middle ml presented two candidates for presl- iont in 1SGO. Such a split may never inppen again ; fit any rate not until oinu new and vi al issue rends one of he two great parties asunder. The Ohio fanners are content to profit > y the lesson taught through the Kear- loyites of California. When Kearney nd his saud-lot followers raised the cry hat "the Chinese must go , " they did lot start a new party to legislate the 'hiii'soout ( of the country. They sim- ily threatened to use the balance of > o\vor \ by throwing their pooled voles alnstany party that dared defy them mil refused to legislate against tlio Chi- se. se.Tho The outcome shows the wisdom of their eoUrt-e. lloth the democratic ud republican parties arrayed thcm- elves against the Chinese and vied vitli each other to capture the sand-lot vote. This is doubtless the Ohio farm ers' ' idea and it is a good one. The Nebraska and Kansas alliance or gans proclaimed tlio same intention last iprlu . They assured the country that , bo alliance was organized to give vi- ality to certain principles and procure ellof to the producers from the wrongs they wuro Hiill'eriny at the hands of cor- ) oratioiis. The farmers in Kansas and No- > raska constitute a largo majority of both , he republican and democratic parties. They were in position to dictate candi- laton and platforms and they wore in position to make the laws , provided they iiail pooled Issues and'taken possession > f the party caucuses and conventions. Cut ambitious loaders , and inflation cranks who have been outside of all i'lios over since the greenback party collapsed , have made Nebraska and [ vausas alliance farmers believe that /heir only salvation was tocutloo o from ill parties and organize a now party. In both of these states the alliance has launched a third ticket into the political whirlpool , and when the light is over in November they will discover that they liavo wasted their energy and thrown iway the only clinuco there was open for thoin to take control of the state govern ment. MR. TllOMl'SUX OF TllK T1IIUD. A man who aspire to represent the [ icoplo in congress should have some re gard for the popular Intelligence and Lho truth of history. Only the dema gogue will atteir.pt to impose upon the one by perverting the other. William Henry Thompson , the doinocratio candi date for congress in the Third district , lias already presented a strong claim to this title. In his speech accepting the nomina tion Mr. Thompson inndo assertions which ho must have known , and which every well-informed democrat who heard liim know could not bo sustained. lie declared that "when the republicans clemonotl/.cd silver the democrats ro- inonotl/.ed it. " When the Allison-Bland bill was passed in 1878 , providing for tlio coinage of sliver dollars to tlio amount of from two to four millions a month , the senate was republican and lluthcrforil 13. Hayes was president of the United States. Will any fair- minded democrat pretend that his party is entitled to the credit of this legisla tion ? Mr. Thompson professes a great admiration for Mr. Cleveland , and yet silver never had a more pronounced and uncompromising enemy. Western domomils have not forgotten the mom- orublo silver letter of Mr. Ch > \ eland written in 1881 , after his election to the presidency , nor do they forget that the inun who wore tit the head of the treas ury department during his adminislra tion , bath Now Vorkersin full sympathy with the financial views of Wall street were persistent In their hostility to bilvor. It was in the power of those democratic secretaries of the treasury to have increased the coinage of sll ver to four million dollars i month. Not only did they node do this , but in their oflicia utterances they deprecated the legisla tlon requiring the coinage of silver del liu-8 , and Secretary Manning sp.xrod no olTort to disparage silver as money and to keep it out of circulation , la his re port of December , 1SSO , Mr. Manning after an elaborate discussion of thosllve question , presented as his conclusion that "to ntop the purchase of silver I our only choice , our duty and our in toront , " and ho declared that "stopping the purchase and coinage of silver Is the llrst'htcp and the host which the Unltui States can take in doing their great par to repair the monetary dislocation el the world. " Tills was the attitude o : Mr. Cleveland's administration toward bllvcr in 1BSU , and it remained so to th end. Is it at all probable that were Cleveland now president ho would have approved the silver legislation which i republican congress and president hav given the country ? Another statement of Mr. Thompson's Is equally wide of the truth. Ho said "when tlio republicans were calling in tlio greenbacks and destroying them the democrats saved three hundred and forty- won millions and kept them in the clmnnol of trade. " When and under what circumstances did thedomoorats do this ? At what period , from the tlmu the first greenbacks wore Issued to meet the war umands upon the government to the roront , lias the democratic parly been rleiully to that currency ? A few of the inrty leaders , llko Allen G. Thurman , wcnino long after the war enamored of ho greenback because they thought hero was political capital in It , but hey and their followers were a small inorlty of the pirty. : The truth that the dominating scntl- nent In the democratic party as always be-on that congress ail no constitutional power to authorize ho Issue of greenbacks , and /or years ho party fought that ourroncj la con- /roas and before the people. That It vonld have been wiped out if thodcmoc- acylmd secured full control of the gov- rnmcnt cannot bo doubted if ono inny iiirly judge from the attitude of the Jlovuland administration. Keferrlng gain to the report of Sccrotijry Mil ti ling In ISSij , wo find him recommending ho gradual purchase and payment of .lirco1 hundred and forty-six inll- lon dollars of "outHtandinjr proin- ssory notes of the United .States , Hilled greenbacks , " and presenting a aborcd argument to show that they had 10 wmstltutlonal right to exist. It was i republican supreme court , and not the letnocralie parly , that saved the green- iacks and enabled thorn to bo kept in circulation. Mr. Thompson declared himself to bo n sympathy with the demand of the 'armors ' that "the circulating medium bo placed back per capita to whore It ivaswhen their farms were mortgaged md debts contiMctod. " Doubtless , 'ory few mortgages on Ne braska farms have boon running 'or n longer purled than fiflcon years , : md when during that time has the cir culation per capita 1 on greater than at present ? In the hint report of the sec retary of the treasury it is stated that n 1S78 the circulation was about sixteen flollars and ilfty cents per capita , and in SS9 it was about twenty-one dollars and seventy-live cents per capita. liotweon March 1 , 1878 , and October I , 1SS9 , the let increase of circulation was in round : iumbors six hundred million dollars , tvhlch was a net increase , according to the report of the secretary of the treasury , of a little over seventy-four per cent , while the increase in population s about thirty-three per cent. There s in circulation March 1,1S7S , eight lundrcd and live million dollars , and on October 1 , ISSi ) . fourteen hundred and five million. Those fieiires' are official ind authentic , and they completely dis prove the statements that there has been i contraction of the circulation and that t has decreased per capita. Tlio low silver law which has just gone ute elTect provides for increasing the currency about thirty million dollars : i year , which will keep pace with the probable growth of population and at east maintain the present per capita. Such a statement as that of Mr. Thomp-on Unit squalid poverty is every where rampant is too obviously absurd to require serious attention. Poverty there is and always will bo , and the fact s to bo deplored , but it Is duo far more argely to indolence and unthriftthaii to iny general lack of demand for willing workers. The fact is that labor through out the country isat present well em ployed at generally remunerative wages , : md there is on the whole less discontent than usual in the ranks of labor. The democratic candidate for congress in the Third district has certainly made a very unfortunate beginning. Tinstin will bo a very strong pressure brought upon the Now York legislature next winter for the repeal of the law providing for the infliction of the death penalty by electricity. Prominent news papers are actively engaged in working up public sentiment in this direction , and there is unquestionably a very strong sentiment in favor of doing away with the law and a return to hanging. Ono journal declares that if the death penalty is to be retained the law subHi- tuling electricity for hanging must bo abolishedand singularly enough it argues that the retention of the present law on the statute books dimply moans an in centive and encouragement to crime. It diminishes the risk of any pimishmont and insures even for the convicted mur derer a long period of distinction , with a strong chnnco of final escape. This view may not bo very convincing , but it is a fact that the number nf murders that have occurred since the electrocution law was passed does not show that it hris hud a deterrent inllueiico. The discus sion as to whether the lirot experiment with tlio law was cruel gees on , necessa rily without particular advantage to either side except that those who insist it was cruel appear to bo gaining ad horonts. THK managers of the IJock Islandi-oad may bo pardoned for chuckling over their victory in the courts of Colorado. In deciding the controversy between the company and the Hio Grnndo , Justice Miller of the Unlle l States supreme court declares that the Jlouk Island Is entitled to "joint , equal and perpetual rights" iij all tracks , yards , buildings and other real propjrty of the UIo Grnndo company In Denver , excepting shops. When the Itoclc Island completed pletod its main line to Colorado Springs a t radio agreement was made with the Klo Orando for the use of the latter' * tracks to Denver. Recently another agreement was made with the Union Pacific , giving the Hock Island a mucl : shorter line to Denver. The Ulo Grande refused trackage to tratlie coming over the short line and suit was brought. The result is a substantial victory for the Hock Island. The fact that tin ; agreement was no loosely drawn as to give tlio llock Island the host end of th < bargain proves that the inanagoi'S turned n smooth trick on verdants of the scenic lino.

The trhlcuco Is that there Una been no untisUa'appcaranco ( of grasshop pers In either of those states and no damage - ago has been experienced from them. The reports w ro undoubtedly sent out hi the interest of speculators. THK improvements projected and con templated by the packing companies tit the stockyards , -will , when completed , almost double their pro ont capacity. No bettor ovidcnco'of the remarkable prosperity of the business Is needed. The facts that the Swifts and Armours and Hammonds are about to double the millions already expended to moot the demands of business , furnishes striking proof of the superior advantage of the Omaha market. Tun supgoBtion of City Physician Gnpcn that the sunken lots containing pools ol stagnant water should bo filled is good. His tHthiiato of a million dollars lars to fill them , howm-or , is wild. A few thousand dollars properly expended would Illl many of thorn , and add greatly to the health of the city. The health olllcer should make an inspecting tour and report to the council. Alllanco picked up a democrat for congress In the Second district. With characteristic gratitude the democrats spurned the Alliance man in the Third district. All of which goes to show that the democrats are enthus iastically in favor of the farmers when the farmers consent to boost democrats into ofllco. THK police have again resumed the practice of arresting everybody who is not personally known to them , This is not metropolitan. If every man not known to the Chicago police , for In stance , was to lie taken to the Chicago police stations as n suspicious character the stations would not hold ono halt of them. . LATEST advices from the census bureau place the population of Omaha at 142,800 , an increase of over eight thousand above tbo first estimate. If these figures had boon accessible to Den ver sixty days ago she certainly would have counted in a few thousand more excursionists who are now rusticating at Mnnitou and around Pike's Peak.

In Cither case a distressing record of absolute retrogression Is presented. Five years ngo the stiito of Iowa contained 1,753PSO inhabitants. It was n prospering common wealth. Since ISsO It had added" UW.OOO to Its United States census population of ! , < ! : ' 1,015. The measure of yearly growth hud even been curtailed , but still growth was there.

There Is not one other state In the union whoso growth exhibits such a result , and there Is but ono other whoso statistics of population for l W will bo even In n moiiMiro as disappointing and Injurious , that ether state being Kansas. The student of effects need not seek far for the cause of this surprising record. It stantls out plainly upon the face of the statute books. Proscription has dealt to Iowa a blow such as neither drought nor panic nor iluvasthig storms , nor scarcely war , would have been able to glx ) . Three hundred thousand people huvo lull the state within live years ! Two hundred thousand more good citizens who woultl In tbo natural course of things have settled In tbo state during those live years have passed through It or have gone around It or have stopped short of Its borders. Mis souri and Illinois mid Minnesota or South Dakota and Nebraska have them. Prohibition has cost the state of Iowa an average including what she had and lostnnd What -she would have bad without prohibition of more than two thousand population u week during u period of ' . 't'/O / weeks I There is a record for the prohibitionists to contemplate with pride if they can. When intolerance and proscription and Pharisaical nmkers of sumptuary laws seUo a state by the tbro.it there remains little chance for her life and vigor. Within twenty years , nt hrr prc" mt Hi > ccd of decadence , Iowa .A-ould have less population than tlio 400,000 Colorado has now ( Colorado increased over 100 per cent in the last , ducade ) and the "party ot God mid " would morality" possess un hindered sway over her unfilled prairies ami in her tottering towns. If unchecked , hi-r decline may yet produce where have nour ished fruitful farms bleak wastes harrowed only by the tornado and silent .save lor the voice of tne long haired suinta crying aloutl iu the desert.
