finished buildings in u pretentious city
like Lincoln are like ho many tombstones

observes an abandoned building of thin

People have got in the habits recently
of complaining of hard times. The
financial flurry has Hooded the country
with Boreheads. 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.

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.

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.

Tho Worhl-llrrahrH Miggestion that

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 ")'
