HOIUTIO SEYMOUR is said not to

NOTHINO shows so well the modesty

that four editors have re-fused con

BOTH employers and workingmen

THE senate yesterday passed the
army appropriation bill with a clause
making retirement compulsory atCi

THE Methodist ministers of Chicago
have adopted f , resolution that turn-

statistics report that
the wages of farm laborers fliuco 1870
have increased 24 per cent , in the
eastern states , 14 per cent , in the

cure their living in most cases with
their employers , the advance in price
affects their incomes less than that of
any other class expect domestic ser

creased cost of living has fully kept

THE DENSITY OF POPDIiA-

of in a number of the smaller countries <

such fears are may bo scon from a re
cently issued census bulletin , which
gives some interesting statistics
of the distribution of the in
habitants of our states in
comparison with that of other coun
tries. In 1889 the entire population
of the United States was 50,155,783.
There were 0 915,016 families - distributed
tributed in 8,055,812 dwellings. Plac
ing the area of the United States at
2,000,170 square miles , which does
not include the Indian territory and
various unorganized tracts , there wore
17-29 persons to a cquare mile , 3 43
dwellings to a square mile , .3.02 acres
to a person , 37.01 acrns to a family
18G.G2 , persons to a dwelling 5 GO.
The general average of persons to a
square mile is only 17.20 , which is
less than one-ninth of that of the least
populated European states In the
eastern states the density of popula
tion is much creator. Tims Mass-
ichusotts has 221 totho ( tquaro mile ,
Lthodo Island 254 , Connect- !

151. As the Allcghauioj are
grossed the population becomes
nuch smalloi. Ohio has 78 , In-

hat there is still plenty of spare room

To ( ho AVhncti cf ( hs State :
Wo desire that there may bo no
misunderstanding in regard to the
position of the State Alliance upon
the subject of political action by Icc.il
alliances. List year , there being
only local officers to elect , nnd the
Alliance being imperfectly organized ,
it was thought inexpedient to risk in
dependent movements , eave in couti
ties where the Alliance was excep
Uonally strong , or where a corrupt
rinu had such full sway that to submit -
mit to its rule would have been crim
inal. . This year a United States sen
ator and A full state ticket are to be
elected ; wo are much more fully or
gmiized , and it is essential Unit men
devoted'to the principles of the Alii-
auco should bo placed in every elec
tive cilice. The method to accom
plish , this will vary somewhat with
local circumstances. There are
some counties in which the .Alii
HIICO is exceptionally strong and where
it has found it necessary to take inde
pendent action ; and there are others
not quite so ulruiig , but where wo
have a good fighting cbijnco to win.
In all these countita altiince tickets
should be nominated. Put up only
good men who will be generally
ucccpted to all people , and make the
meat Btrenuoua and self-sacrificing ef
forts to oleot olhtra.
Tl ere tire other counties whore our
strength is not so great and where our
members hbvu not hitiierto acted in
dependently , but still where wo have
a Kuod organization and hold a con
trolling balance of piwer , if it is
propr rJy handled. Tne action of thu
Huntings meeting left our members
free to retain their puty affiliations ds
far as they chose to do so. We there
fore earnestly recommend , as the
proper and most politic course of ac
tion in the last named class of coun
ties , that our members control the
primaries of their refp jctivo parties ,
and secure through them the nomina
tion and oUctkm of members of the
*
alliance or moti devoted to its prin
ciples to all its important offices.
Bat if failure follows a fair nnd
manly effort to secure proper nomina
tions , BOLT THE TICKET. Where cor
rupt machine rule gains sway , and
places monopoly cappers in the field ,
the place to begin the opposition is in
the convention which nominates them.
In all such oases refuse , openly and
promptly , to make any nominations
unanimous , and put independent can
didates in the field , and elect them if
posible. Participation in a conven
tion does not bind a man to support
its nominees if ho protests against
them on the spot. It is bettor to be
defeated with a good candidate than
to consent to success with a bad one ,
Of the circumstances governing lo
cal action , the alliances of each coun
ty must judge. But * information in
regard to strength , &o , , will be
promptly furnished to officers of al
lianccs by the state secretary.
Every county in which there are as
many as three alliances should organ
ize a county alliance at opce.
LKT MAJORITIES RCLB. Without a
strict adherence to this principle our' '
enemies will succeed in dividing us ,
The above reeommondation as to
political action are made after careful
deliberation and consultation with our
most competent officers , with the
whole field in view , and with the best
sources of information at command.
In concluiion , lot us ask for a con
tinuance of that confidence which you
have hitherto so generously bestowed.
If action which you consider necessary
by thu state alliance or its committees
seems needlessly delayed , remember
that wo may see important points not
apparent to all , and that wo are iu full
jinpathy with the most progressive-
and onthuBiastio of our people. One
of the great qualities of statesmanship
is to let the ' 'louden foot uf time" do
its appointed work , and to strike only
when "all happy forces do most ap
propriately conjoin ,

Tne Opium Habit
Phllade'phla Etc ltd.
It is not a pleasant reflection that
the vicious aud ineidiuus habit ot
jpiura-oaiiijg , more depraving aud
ruinous in its effects than liquor drink
ing , has obtained a strong hold upon
jur people , and is rapidly increasing ,
is statistics prove. At the recent
pearly meeting of the Friends in Providence
idonco , R I. , a paper was read show
ingthat there are 400,000 opium-eaters
in the United States , and tkat the im
portations of the drug h vo increasud
From 00,000 pounds m I8G9 , to nearly
MX,000 ) pounds in 1880 , while the
importations of morphine 'have in
creased in the same time 140 per
xmt. Both forms of the narcotic
ire used as an intoxicant , and , humil-
ating as the fact may be , the habit is
argely confined to women , chiefly
.hose of the well-to-do class , to whom
ho laws of. society prohibit alcoholic
brinks. Statistics show that in some
owns in Ohio , Indiana , Illinois and
Kentucky there are six opium-eaters
o over/ ono hundred inhabitants. In
3hina there are over 200,000,000
ipium smokeis , who pay 9125,000,003
t year for the "pleasure. " The Brit-
sk givernment in India derives an
inuual revenue of f40,000,000 from
ipium. It is eatimatud that already
1,000 Americans have learned to
moko the vile and deathf ul drug. This
lues not justify us in calling our
loantryineu opium-eaters , aud the
Iguros are not alarmina except in their
uturo signiGoinco. They are suffic-
eut , however , to warrant not only
irotest but an active combative move-
neut ucainat ; the insidious hubitwhich
s so rapidly gaining ground among
is. The proper way to attack the
ipium evil is a question for immediate
lonaideration. In California a law is
iroposod making the uao of the drug
, misdemeanor. The time ia past fur
outimontalism with drunkards and
laves to habit. Stern measures
hould bo taken at once , that the
hroatoned danger may bo averted.
