The Farmers' Alliance will make its little splurge and sink into obscurity, says The New York Sun. All the same, while the little splurge lasts it will make things mighty interesting^ for some people.

THERE is an enormous increase in the acreage sown to flax in the Northwest this season over previous years. Flax seed sold at a little over a dollar a bushei last fall on the farm, when wheat brought only about half as much while the yield per acre, and cost of raising, are about the same as wheat. The increase in acreage is about 45 per cent, oyer last year.

HERE is nn easy little lesson in protection and a complete refutation of the free trade lie that "the tariff is a tax." Steel railway rails are selling in England at §34.50 a ton. The duty on all imported into this country is $17 per ton. If the tariff is a tax. and the consumer pays it, the p^ice here should be $51.50 a ton. The price of steel rails in the United States is £82^ a ton. A single fact is worth a thousand theories.

Striking workmen are learning shrewd methods. They do not now go on strike for all they desire and intend to obtain. First they demand, say, shorter hours of labor. If this is granted, but wages cut down to correspond, they do not rebel, but accept so much as gain, and go on to work as usual. But after due time, •when the short hours are 60 firmly established that public opinion would permit no lengthening of them, then a general striko is made for higher wages, and it is nearly always successful.

Emperor Williava has called a conference of distinguished native scholars to consider the subject of uniformity of spelling for the German language. We ought to have the same sort of conference of distinguished scholars from all the English speaking countries. Uniformity, not oaly of spelling but also of pronunciation, in tho English language is most desirable. But we givj our British cousins notice herewith that we will never consent to "labour" and "honour."

The common council of Hoboken have inaugurated a sweeping reform. Well may old tune aldermen bless their stars aud wonder what the world is coming to in these degenerate (lavs. The Hoboken council have passed a bylaw that that body shall have power to eject a member when he is drunk. Thus are sapped the vitals of one of the most ancient privileges of a freeman—ft councilman's right to be drunk in town meeting. Hoboken is going entirely too fast with her new fangled notions. They would upset any system of town politics. Moreover, Hoboken permits the chairman of the oooncil to be the judge whether a man is drunk enough to put out or not, judging that he was the person whose experience best enabled him to tell when a man was intoxicated.

ON

June 11 the House passed tho pension bill as agreed to in conference with the Senate. It will pass the Senate and go to the President within a few days. The bill will place on the pension roLs some 250,0C0 new names and increases the pension of 50,000 men now on the rolls. It is expected that ii will distribute from $50,000,000 to$100,000,000 among the poor soldiers of the Nation. While it id not all that some of th'i friends of the soldiers wish, yut its provisions are quite liberal. It places on the rolls all who are disabled whether the disability was re-

ceived in the service or not, at the rate of from $6 to $12 a month,proportionate to their inability to earn a support, besides giving to the widows of soldiers $8 a month and $2 a month to eaoh child under sixteen years of age.

I ABE THEY IHSAKE1

A curious development of "cussou ness" is manifested by those miscreants who station themselves at street corners and hurl ink upon ladies' dresses with no other object than the pleasure of destruction. One of these fellow? has been captured in New York. His mode of operation was singular and quite original. He plugged the stem of a pipe bowl with a match and fitted a cork to the large end. Then he would fill it with ink, cork it, take his stand on a street frequented by handsomely dressed ladies and bide his time. At the proper moment he drew the pipe from his pocket and gave it a quick flirt, concealed as it was within his hand. and when the woman who happened to be passing the shabbily dressed :n just then reachcd homo she found her gown was ruined.

The dresses destroyed were always light in color and of expensive material. A cheap dress or a dark one had no attraction for him. The police watched for the i'eilow for months before they could catch him. He became a subject of thrilling interest in police circles and a reward was offered for him. When caught he had nothing to say. It was Hound he a sober, hardworking hostler, who got $112.50 a week, and handed all but the od half dollar regularly over to his wile every Saturday night. Hi:i work being at night left him some leisure time during the afternoon, and thuB he employed it-

He was a stupid looking fellow enough, this Connors, with deep set eyes and sunken cheeks. His wife testified in court that ho had been acting strangely of late, and she thought he was out o'' his mind. That, however, would probably be no more than most wives would say under the circumstances. But a curious question arises here: Can ii temperate, steadily working man, who supports his wife and four children and does his work satisfactorily to his employers, bo regarded as insane? On the other hand, would a sane roan, situated as Connors was, and in all other respects good natural and kindly, fling ink over ladies' dreses in this manner? Should he be sent to the lunatic, asylum or the prison?

THE silver bill as passed the House and will doubtless receive the sanction of the Senate with some slight modifications provides for the purchase of $4,500,000 worth of silver a month at the market rate, not exceeding $1 for 371i grains of pure silver, that being the quantity contained in the standard dollar that in payment for this bullion Treasury notes are to be issued, which are to be redeemable in coin. These notes are to be legal tender for all debts, publio and private, and are to be re ceivalle for customB, taxes and all publio dues. On demand of the holder, the secretary of the Treasury is authorized to exchange for the notes an amount of silver bullion which shall be equal in value at the market price thereof to the amount of such notes presented. Whenever the market price of silver is $1 for 371J grains, owners of bullion are to be entitled to deposit the same at the mints to be coined for their benefit. This is a good bill and the Senate should lose no time in passing it.

It is likely taat everybody, oven the most rigid Protestant or the most self contained person, has felt at times the need of a confessor, of some one who will give a sympathetic ear to the troubles that have become too great to be borne alone, and not only lend a sympathetic ear, but give wisa and friendly counsel when tho brain is too beset to think clearly for itself. Religious confessors will not do. for the things that bother people most aro not religious matters usually. They are generally thiugs pertaining to love, health or money.

To fill this loug felt want, Mr. W. T. Stead, of the English Review of Reviews, proposes to establish a confessional in his magazine. The idea is worthy the man that prepared thy great Pall Mall Gazette sensation. Mr. Stead says at once of this new departure and department:

Are there any among the rva/lere of this review who feel the craving for e-.iuus^i, for sympathy, aud for tlie consolatiou of pouring out their souls' grief? If so, may I ask them to communicatee with mo? The names of my correspondents will, if they, so desirj it, remain only known to mo. But their coses, as they submit tbeav will be placed before such oarapetent advisers as 1

THE Farmers' Alliance generally are demanding free sugar with a bounty of two cents a pound on the home made product. This action makes the Democrats uneasy and unhappy.

THE national debt has been decreased $07,787,722 in the eleven months that have passed of the present fiscal year. A pretty good showing for the Republican administration.

KILLED HIMSELF.

Could'nt Stand It to Be Sued, So Commits Suicide. 7 Special to The Journal.

VEEDERSBURG, June 12.—Peter Otter, a farmer three miles of this place, committed suicide some time last night by hanging himself in the barn, When found this morning the body was cold. The only possible reason which can be given for the deed is that he had recently been sued and for the first time in his life. It worried him very much and today was the day for him to appear in oourt. He was 50 years old, a man of family and very highly respected.

NANCY IN THE TOILS,

The Fair Siren of the North End Before the Rud Eyed Law. On Weun slay came up in the circuit court tho case of Mrs. Nancy Lightcap charged with arson. At about nine o'clock attired in her Sunday clothes and escorted by Charley Davis she entered the court room. The court at once proceeded to select jury, good and true, to try the fair charmer before the law. There was feme little difficulty in this as Nancy was not exactly smitten with all the gentlemen who appeared as jurcrs and it was after eleven o'clock beforo the twelve chairs were all filled. A. 33. Anderson made tho opening speech for the prosecution and was followed by Judge Hurley for the defense. The Judge said that although Nancy hadn't always been perfection personified she was upon the whole a pretty good sort of a girl and that she was going to be cleared by a large fat alibi. By her side sat her faithful minion, Can Seting. Elmer Marsh was the only witnets examined in the morning, he testifying to the fact of his house being burned on the 14th of April and the enmity existing between Sering and himself. Mrs. Marsh in tho afternoon testified that she had received various notes making dates for her or her hus band to be at certain places at certain times which were supposed to have been by Mrs. Lightcap. Henry Kohls, ex chief of Fire Department, said that he arrived at the fire about

(J

o'clock and

found quite a crowd in the back yard. He discovered evidences of coal oil around the house. Chief Weidle, at that time assistant, substantiated the the above. William Wilhite stated that Nancy was a regular customer of his and that he sold her a gallon of coal oil on the Monday before the fire. Horace Ensmmger testified that on the Saturday after the fire there were only three pints in her coal oil can. Ho stated that he asked her for the shoes she had on and she gave them up without a word. He fitted them to some tracks in Marsh's back yard and they were exactly alike. There were also evidence that the owner of these shoes had run over the back yard and climbed the fence. Ed Long was the star witness of the day. He met Nancy between the quarrel on the train and the fire and during a short conversation she said: I'll have revenge on him (referring to Marsh). I'm a dirty if I don't burn liim

in his sleep. If I can't get justice I'll t-tke the law iuto my own hands. Col. Courtuey asked the witness if it wasn't true that he and Nancy had had some trouble lately. "No," said Ed,"I am trying to be decent now and don't associate with any such people." This was a corker for the defense aud the witness was dismissed. Nancy, herseli, was the chief witness in her own cause and proved to be a very interesting one. She boldly charged that the whole case was trumped up by officers Ensminger, Grimes and Conner?, and made some very grave ciiarges against tho two latter genllemen. She a!so attacked the character and "motive of the chief witnesses of the prosecution in a very startling manner. Her style upon the witness stand was forward aud brazen and she drove her thrusts home in a most amozoman manner. She suffered considerably in the cross examination as did several of her witnesses. The best witness she produced was one Guthrie, who swore on alibi. The evidence in rebuttal ou both sides proved the characters of moat of the witnesses to be exceedingly bad. Arguments were m-ide thin morning by attorneys Courtuey and Clodfelter for the defense and Anderson for the proseontion.The arguments were all fine, in their way, and enough characters destroyed to stock a good sized community. The speeches were finished at noon, and upon the assembly of the court at 1:30, the judge gave his charge, which was a very mild one, to the jury and they retired with the future career of the airv, fairy, Nancy in their keeping. Much indignation is expressed by the police on account of Nancy's grave charge, and they positively deny them all. About 9 o'clock Thursday evening the jury returned a verdict sentencing her to one year in the Women's Reformatory at Indianapolis and $50 fine.
