The farmers nro this year moro ng-
Rresslvd than over before In giving ex
pression to their prlovnncoa nnd Book
ing methods to rohovo thorn. In al
most ovcry state of the union the farm
ers' organization nro. actively ongngod
in formulating plans to combat whut
they claim to bo discriminations against
their interests , the tendency everywhere -
where being to nntngoni/.o the combi
nations nnd trusts , to which they charge
their dldlcultios , with combinations of
their own.
Tho- development of this move
ment , which in its wldo acopo ami great
importance is of national concern , has
boon very marked in the southern
states. A couple of weeks ago there
was "hold at Montgomery , Ala.J"a fnrtn-
ors' congress , in which a dozen south
ern states were represented. The ad
dress of the president of this congress
demanded the same protection for the
products of the farm ixs is extended to
the products ot any olhor class of pro
ducers , nnd declared that the farming
Interests have been made the helpless
victims of monopolistic conspiracies ,
and been filched of the earnings
nnd profits of their honest labor. This
congress marked an important stngo in
the progress of agricultural combina
tion. Moro recently there have boon
conventions of farmers' alliances in a
number of the states of the south , nil of
which have followed the general lines
laid down by the congress. The result
ia a general expression in favor of the
consolidation of the Southern Inter
state Farmers' alliance with the organ
ization known as the Wheel , the
Farmers' union , and the Union
Labor organization , the consoli
dated union to bo known as
the Farmers' and Laborers' Union of
America. This organization , which
will represent a membership of ov or
ono million , will hold u convonnion at
St. Louts next December , when it is
hoped there -will unite with It the
Farmers' Alhnnco of the northwest and
the Farmers' Bonollt association , which
would swell the membership to throe
millions. This combination of the
farmers of the south has reference pri
marily to the control of the cotton crop ,
und how this is to bo done is indicated in
a resolution adopted by the cotton com
mittee of the intor-stato alliance ,
which recommends that the farmers of
the south sell no cotton during the
month of September , except what may
ho absolutely necessary to meet obliga
tions past due , while the Georgia
alliance hqs asked the alliances of all
the cotton states to make twelve and
one-half cents the minimum vricu at
which cotton shall bo sold. Thus the
farmers ot the south propose to uostrict
the sales and raisrf the price of cotton , a
policy exactly in line with that of the
trusts which they condemn.
Of equal interest with this movement
in the south Is that of the Farmers'
Federation of the Mississippi valloy.
This organization , which is a joint stock
company , will hold a convention in St.
Louis in October , the object being to
institute a plan "to remedy the present
expensive mode of marketing farm pro
ducts that now have to pass
through gateways and pay tolls to olor
voters and stock yard companies , and
enormous sums to commission men for
going through the moro form of soil
ing. " The statement is made that the
farmers of the northwest are paying
throe million dollars annually in ele
vator and stock yard chargexa and ton
millions in commissions for soiling , and
it is claimed that by the plan proposed by
this organization the farmers can save
inn the matter of commissions nine
million dollars annually. This plan is
to "got nearer the consumers by dis
placing ninety per cent of the commis
sion mon , and then , by ono of the latent
powers of the organization , to wipe out
ninety per cent of the retail mon. "
There is promised as a result of this ex
periment "a marked improvement in
prices and a revolution in the
present costly methods of busi
ness. " At a recent mooting of the
stockholders of this organization a resolution
elution was adopted advising the farm
ers of the northwestern states and
territories to hold their wheat off the
market until after the meeting of the
convention , "unless such prices shall
bo olTorod as will justify a reasonable
profit over and above the cost of pro
duction , or ono dollar per bushol. "
Thesp movements show a part , and
the most serious part , of the grievances
of which the farmers of the country now
complain. They are interesting and
important , but the question as to their
wisdom can be answered only by results.
Meanwhile their progress will bo re
garded with general curiosity and
concern , since they must affect moro or
less a great variety of interests , and
may exert , also , a degree of influence
upon politics.
A UNIFOItat IJANKnUPJCY LAW.
A national convention of representa
tives of the commercial bodies of the
United States will moot at Minneapolis
to-day tOjdiscuss a national bankruptcy
law which they will endeavor to have
adopted by congress. The movements
in favor of such u law have hitherto
coma from the mercantile centers of the
east , nnd have not mot with very grout
uncouragomont elsewhere. Now the
initiative ) liaa boon taken in the
west , meetings of commercial bodies
having already boon hold in
St. Louis nnd Milwaukee to pro
mote an active and general effort
throughout the country to Influence the
next congress to pass u uniform bank
ruptcy law. Such a measure was before
fore the last congress , bat it did uot
rench a vote.
The last national bankruptcy law was
chiefly objectionable because of the ex
travagance of its administration. Ofll-
cial costs frequently consumed the as
sets ot insolvent debtors , leaving
nothing for creditors , and tbo demand
for the repeal of the law be
came general. The bill reported
in the last congress guarded
against this abuse , as does the
draft ot a law made by the commlttoo
appointed at the convention hold in St.
Louis last March. This proposed law ,
which may take the place of the bill
before the last congress , limits the costs
nnd fees , so that it would be impogsiblo
under its operation to repeat the jn-ao
ticoa which provoked BO much hostility
to the former law. It is frco , also , from
other sorlous defects of the former law ,
and provides for greater expedition in
Bottling cnsog in bankruptcy. Its
'rumors have sought to secure oxant
Justice to creditors and honest
debtors , without imposing undue hard
ships upon tlio latter.
There has boon a steady growth of
sentiment for sovornl years in morcnn-
illo circles in favor of a now law , and
MB hna become quite as pronounced in
the west na in the oast. The enactment
of n national bankruptcy law ia advo
cated on the ground that it ia duo cred
itors entitled to a just slmro of the
bankrupt's assets , and duo the bankrupt
hlmsolf , who Is crippled by unadjusted
claims noldlng against him , nnd
prevented from beginning nnow
tnd repairing his broken
fortunes. Many honorable , enterpris
ing , but unfortunnta raon , are thus
hlndorod from ngaln becoming prosperous -
porous nnd useful citizens. Party spirit
in congress has boon largely responsible
for the fnlluro to pass a bankruptcy law
s'.nco ' the last ono was repealed , but
with the republicans in control of the
next congress a favorable result is con
fidently oxuoctod by the advocates of anew
now law.
There is n demand for reform in tha
system of army promotions. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Phila
delphia Lcdijcr calls attention to the
anomalous system under which pro
motions in the army are made , and cites
some striking illustrations of the re
sultant injustice so far as subaltern
olllcors are concerned. Promotion to
the grades of major , lieutenant colonel
nnd colonel is made according to lineal
rank , while to the grades of first lieu
tenant nnd captain promotion
is entirely regimental and con
fined to the corps to which the
ofllccr belongs. This makes the pro
motion of subalterns exceedingly slow.
The correspondent notes a conspicu
ous example of the working of this sys
tem In the case of a first lieutenant who
recently was promoted to a captaincy
after a continuous service of twenty-
two years in his regiment as a liouton
ant. Ho eiitercd the regular from the
volunteer service as a second lieuten
ant of cavalry , and in 1800 was promoted
to iirst lioutonant. Ho became a cap
tain on the twentieth of last month. In
the meantime it is stated that ono
hundred men have entered the cav
alry service and boon promoted ever
him , the army register to-day bearing
Iho names of sixty-five captains of cav
alry who were below him on the
list of second lieutenants in 1807. This
appears not to bo an isolated case. The
senior lieutenant of the Tenth cavalry
graduated from West Point in 1869 , and
in the Seventh cavalry there are three
second lieutenants who graduated at
the academy In 1877 , while cadets who
graduated in 1883 are first lieuten
ants. Other facts are given
in evidence of the injustice
resulting- from the prevailing system of
promotion , under which some olflcors
are advanced to a captaincy in a few
years while others are compelled to
wait half a lifetime for the promotion.
Obviously such a system cannot but
bo harmful to the morale of the array
in bogottingidissatisfaution and consequent
quent demoralization. The remedy
suggested is to make the promotion of
subalterns lineal instead of hampering
it by regimental restrictions , so that
length of service would receive its duo
rowavd.
Tnc congress of American nations ,
which , will meet : in Washington , October
2V may be productive of considerable
good to the merchants of this country.
South American nations generally are
preparing to send delegates to the congress -
gross , and a moro enlightened view of
each country may bo obtained from a
free interchange of views regarding
trade relation ? . Last year the South
American countries sold us 8110,000,000
moro than they bought of us , but the
balance may be easily reduced or alto
gether done away with if our people
present their industrial advantages in
the proper light. Among the things to
bo considered are "measures looking to
the formation of ap American customs
union , under which the trade of the
American nation 3 with ouch other
shall , o far as * profitable , bo
promoted ; the adoption of a
uniform system of weights and meas
ures ; the establishment of regular and
frequent communication bctwocn ports
of the several American states , and
other plans having in view the mutual
profit of the various countries. Un
doubtedly a satisfactory arrangement
on these and other essential points will
have a tendency towards a very largo
and profitable increase in our future
trade with the South American re
publics. _ _ „ _ „ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUB county commissioners have at
last taken tbo right stops to vindicate
themselves. They have requested that
the district judges call , u special grand
jury to investigate the management of
county affairs. If such a grand jury is
empaneled it should bo mudo up of our
very best business men. Ilnngors-on
who live upon county and city patron
age should bo oxcluded. Some of them
may bo prejudiced against the commis
sioners , while others would bo justly
liable to a suspicion of being -
ing under the commission
ers' influence. The last time the
grand jury investigated certain abuses in
city government the proceeding was a
farce , simply because tlio membership
of the grand jury was such oa to makn
it impossible to indict any boodler , no
matter how flagrant his abuse might
huvo been. The boodlera bad just
enough friends nnd coparceners in the
grand jury to prevent a true bill
being presented.

his lecturing season will bo brought to a.
close , ho will then have- been seven weeks

a much needed rest.
"Wo took in the far northwest this time , "
ho said , "a section of the county I had never
before visited , und was surprised to tlnO civ
ilization up there so fur advanced. It aston
ished mo to see so much enterprise
us tha people of Seattle und Spo
kane Falls are displaying in rebuilding
these towns , so recently destroyed by tiro.
At both places I had immense audiences , and
my lectures seemed to revive and raise thorn
out of the funeral condition they bad
been in. "
During his conversation Mr. Talmtfgo said
that ho had found tiu | country In n greater
condition of prosperity than has ever been

to bo ono immense cornfield. Why , wo have
Just begun to grow , and our greatest pros

tlons arc dying out. Men begin to realize
that no one cluss can dictate conditions
to the detriment of another , nnd
there seams to bo a better feeling
of contentment than has existed at any time
within m.v recollection. Capital and labor
are rapidly reaching tbo eye and band rela

Labor ilny was appropriately celebrated In

With him , the presiding ofllccr of ovcry
labor organlatlon In the city occupied the

VV. J. Bryan , were introduced In the order
named. Mr. Hansom , the father of Labor
day , paid a fitting tribute to Lincoln mid
thanked the labor organizations of the city
for the comnllmnnt paid him.
Mr. Hansom suld that tlio laborer should
Insist an tenaciously for recognition as the
Grand Army man ; that thu Grand Army
virtually dominates the republican party ,
especially In Nebraska , and the party ewes
more to this class of mon limn to any other
ono class , and no thinking man will deny
them recognition , What they accomplish
tlioy accomplish by organization. They
constitute loss than one-sixth of
tlio republican voters , .yot they arose
so thoroughly organized that the
party organizations implicitly obey thorn ,
and while they constitutes this proportion of
the popular vote , the laboring classes malto
nearly all of the rest. What the defenders
of the nation demand you can safety grant ,
anO , at the same time , mulco the demand for
yourselves which , In Justice and decency ,
should bo conceded to you. You can do this
in the selection of your congressmen , legis

the government. The power Is in your
hands and it only remains for you to apply it.

Typhoid Kever Aboard Ship.
NEWPORT , K. I. , Sept. 3. Another appren
tice boy of the United States steamer Now
Hampshire , the third in less than a week ,
died to-day of typhoid fover. The ship's au
thorities huvo ordered tents and blankets to
enable the bovs to camp on the sand while
the ship is being disinfected.
THE clearness of plate-glass windows is impaired by washing
them with soap containing resin , which always leaves a thin ,
semi-transparent coating over the surface. Ivory Soap contains
no resin , and if used with tepid water , a sponge to apply the soap
and water with , and a chamois to rub the window-pane "dry , your
windows will prove the truth of the saying : "Clear glass is to a
house what beautiful eyes arc to a woman. "
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be " just as good as Iho' Ivory' ' | "
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon gelling it.
