A two by four bank in Podunkvillo fails and straightway many good people in thiB city fall to and weep. It iB tho fashion to weep and complain. 1V ' w.. - ... -,-. The stones some peopl ies some people tell are enough to givo one tho blue fever. , What is tho true condition of iilTairs in this city? A Couiuki: representative tliis week interviewed merchantfl in nearly all lines of business, and tho re pult of tliiB investigation may be sum marized as follows: IluBinesa generally is iib good, if not better than it was this time last year. Collections in some instances are Blower than at this season a year ago. Some merchants say they are if any thing better. On tho whole, notwithstanding the dreadful fault finding, business iB quite iib good as it was a year ago and it bIiowb BigiiB of improving. Tho board of education was quick to take advantage of tho new law giving it the power to force a in mill luvy on tho people. There are people who contend that if tho law authorized tho board to make a .TO or JO mill levy, tho Ixmrd would keep right up to the limit. Tho board of education is composed of two factious. One is for piling up tho expense and increasing the tax, and the other is for running things on a con servative basis. At last week's meeting tho first named faction was in tho ascendency, and it wits voted to petition tho county com missioners to make a 15 mill levy for pchool purposes. Under tho now law tho county .cominiBsioners are required to make the levy in accordance with the demand of tho board, providing the esti mate does not exceed fifteen iuIIIb.

' There is an increase of 81.000 in ..ill.... , ... . " "-- ""-' I i iirieB, which inakeB a total increase in I salaries oi c-',iw.;;u. Ah hnfl been previously explained a considerable portion of this largo in crease in tho item teachers salaries is occasioned by a two weeks extension of the school term. It Shu good thing, of courso for tho teachers, to get another half month's pay, but many of the poo plo who pay tho taxes and whoso child ren attend the schools insist that nine months is long enough for tho school term. They claim that July and Au gust and tho last part of Juno and the first part of September constitute but a reasonable vacation. It is also claimed that nearly every estimate -of expense can bo shaved without impairing tho usefulness of tho fichools. On tho whole it is not surprising that there should lie a vigorous protest on tho part of tho taxpayers against a 15 mill levy particularly as tho increase in the iium ber of school children is unusually small, and tho people who jmv tho taxes aro not conspicuously Hush, 'it is said by those who aro jn a position to know that a 10 mill levy would meet every reasonable requiriuent.

I The Central CUn A'oiiHiii'iiiBsiuep Its readers that Judge Maxwell will be re nominated by the republicans, uud elected. - o - The Lancaster county conventions will not be held early thisvear. - o Tho Worhl-llrrahrH Miggestion that tho Independents nominate John M. Itegati for the supremo bench has called forth a variety of expressions as to that gentleman's Htuei-H for tho populist nomination. The Alliance I lalcuemlent informs the WorUI Herald that the in dependent convention can select a man for supreme judge without its assistance, and the I'lalte County Aiyun thinks that "Mr. leagan's many years of Is. & M. service and tho good fellowship in which he is still held by professional railway manipulators, is enough to make any man question the wisuomoi putiiug such a man forward as a representative of the populist for any position of honor and trust." It is said that Mr. Itciigun is not u candidate, and that he is dis posed to resent the action of certain newspapers and politicians in placing his name before the public, o An interesting note in that great book of humbug called the Farmers' Alliance of Kansas, Is about to appear. The farm laborers of Kansas aro said to b(. forming a union for tho base utilitar ian purpose of shortening their hourB of labor and lengthening their pay. They have been working twelve hours a day for from 9V2 to 815 a month, and they are going to try to get 10 a month for working ten hours a day. Uesldes they ask for yearly contracts, just as a pluto cratic corporation or a loathsome money king might. , . Sorrow and surprise swirl in the bosom of the farmers' alliance men, and the populist sunflower droops. Hero the honest alliance farmer him been trying to improve his condition at tho expense of tho state and tho United States, and now when he can scarcely ntTord to bViy a grand or square piano for his daugh ters, tho laborers turn and rend him. It is verv annoying, because it distractHhlfl mind 'from considering the best way of confiscating railroads, and holds back his soul from cursing Wall street. Tho farm laborer has been mighty useful, The largest part of tho alliuuce farmer's time s taken up in going to alliance conventions and caucuses and lectin cs; and then his heart is so heavy over tho state of tho country, and his mind bo taken up with the currency question, llllll no is uoi oi iiiucii use in urn num. And now the laborers have the impu dence to ask the fanners to give them 815 more a month per capita. Hero is the government refusing to Issue cur rency at the rate of S(S0 a head, and here is tho farmer called upon to part with fifteen additional dollars a mouth for each laborer on his farm. It is horrible, most horrible; and the only relief we can think of is tbo constant repetition of tho words per capita, words which aro tho beginning and the end of every populist ilisvussion or money, and are said to he used in JMinsas as acniirm forearuclie. What can be done to punish these wretched hired men who aro trying to embarrass the alliance in its noble mis sion of doing good to itself? How can they have tho piesuinption to resist tho application of the great alliance princi ple that tho world exists for the benefit of the alliance farmer only? Tho dis tinction and pleasure of working for thinkers, men who lay down the laws of trade as easily as you can peel an apple, ought to counterbalance long hours and short pay. Meanwhile it is good to know that "the alliance has set the seal of its disapproval upon the project," and that the secretary of tho alliance "de clares the movement a plot of the iioliti ciiins to ruin the new party." It must bo that the wicked politicians, envious of populist greatness, have egged on the hii-ed men. What else could have in duced these men todisturb the idylic ar rangement which gave them all the work, and -tho alliance thiukersall tho money and thclcisurc? And such a preix;sterous time for building agricultural, so to sneak. Tho subterranean banks hnve I not been opened, and there aro no sub treasuries to which tho alliance farmer can go for a loan. Summer and fall will tie full of conventions and platforms, uud yet the thinker con't go to them un less he consents to double the pay of his Idrelings. When Mrs. Mary Klizabeth Loiiho said that the demonetization of silver was the unspeakable crime of this cen turv she didu't foresee this Hired Men's Trust: "All murder ut il Mimd eicuml in tliU." The demoniac spirit of plutocarcy has entered into the farm lahorers. They have combined to put up tho price of their labor, an article of prime necessity, While tho alliance has been engaged in Bubsoiling corporations and harrowing mortgagees, and raking monopolies with tho tedder, tho weeds or wickedness have Ih'oii growing on their own fields. These weeds must bo pulled. ShU ")' nut alliance runners nave tlio ridii to combine? If so, then tho great work -or which so many hispid hayseed ranters hnvo howled and cried is indeed undone!
