The new catalogue of the Louis ville Bryant & Stratton Business Col lege is the handsomest school cata logue we have ever seen. When any institution sends out such a produc tion, it is evident that its school work is equally complete and thorough. Dr. D. C. Jvelley was tried by a committee of the annual conference just closed at Pulaski for leaving the ministry to engage .in politics, and was suspended from all ministerial work for six months. The confer-; ence stood 110 for Kelley to 25 against, but the above result was ac complished by severe and arbitrary rulings of Bishop Hargrove, who presided over the meeting. Dr. Kel ley took an appeal to the general con ference. There is little doubt that Dr. Kelley deserved the punishment, yet the manner in which it was done is severely condemned by many of the preachers. The Bishop is being severely censured by both the press and his ministerial brethren lor his arbitrary rulings, and the ap pointmcnts indicate that the Bishop's disapproval of Dr. Kelley did not end with punishing him Kelley's warm friends and , supportors were reduced to weak charges with small salaries, while those prominent in his prosecution will be allowed to feast - A-l . II. . 4 ' sumptuously ior tne next year. Ik "Alliance-Man" in this week's New Era will go back and" read over again our article of last week a little more carefully he will discover that much of his scrawl in the Era is "irrelevant." The Stan dard has never declared any war upon the alliance, save in its degener ate capacity of a secret political or ganization. We have specifically stated in these columns before that democratic members of the alliance have a perfect right to exercise their full strength in the democratic con ventions, but no secret order of demo crats, republicans and mugwumps in general has a right to "fix things" for a democratic convention in a star chamber from which many straight democrats are excluded. We want to say to the members of the alliance, or whomever else we may criticise at any time, that if they feel aggrieved over any of our incongtuvial remarks, our columns are open to them for re ply. We have as little malice in our nature, we think, as the aveage mor tal, and it is our earnest purpose to deal fairly and justly with all men and all measures. We seek no ad vantages or privileges we are not willing others should enjoy. If Alii ance-Man will hunt up the minutes of the Warren Couuty alliance, he will find the boycott resolution against the Standard, referred to in our article last week. It was pass ed at a meeting held at Rock Island some time last fall, if our memory serves us right, and we believe a por tion of the proceedings of the meet ing were published in the Era the While manv cood and true demo- . . v -i crats of the 'state fire honestly In doubt as to wherjier it is good de mocracy to vote for Mr. Buchanan or not, up to this writing we can still conscienclously say to them with Mr. E., "vote the straight ticket," "don't scratch." : : While the assertion of Mr. E. that Buchanan's nomination was secured fairly, cannot probably be successful ly controverted, yet it can bo asserted with equal force that since his nomi nation Mr. Buchonan has proven un worthy of the honor, and amenable to censure, by his failure and refusal to answer questions courteously put to him by life-long democrats. The relevancy of these questions Is a mat ter of opinion. Thousands of demo crats in the state are just as firm in their convictions that they are rele vant as Mr. Buchanan and his alli ance followers affect to be that they are not, and a courteous reply to the questions is the least that could be expected of the nominee, We agree with our correspondent that the democratic state platform is the standard by which to test the democracy of our candidate for gov ernor, but when put to this test Mr. Buchanan refuses to stand up to the rack. The St. Louis platform of the alliance, and the Tennessee platform of the democracy are diametrically opposed to each other. Mr. Buchan an is pledged to both of them. A man cannot serve two masters. To which one will ho pay his allegiance? While it Is conceded that Mr. Buchanan stands in the shoes of th democratic nominee, his nomination is due entirely to the alliance, and J. II. McDowell, the president of that order in the state, claims that Mr. Buchanan i3 in thorough sympathy with the alliance and all Us central ization ideas. A man cannot ,be a thorough alliancer and a sound dem ocrat at the same time. What is Mr. Buchanan? What kind of a white black bird is he? " It is censurable and undemocratic tor any collection of men, whether they be editors, lawyers, street-corner politicians, or farmers, to.get togeth er to Vfix things" for a convention be hind locked doors, and exclude from the council other members of the party. In jus "now seriously" paragraph our correspondent reveals the animus which has characterized the alliance throughout the entire campaign the contemptible policy of rule or ruin. He threatens that for a failure on the part of democrats to support Buchan an, the alliance will retaliate by a slaughter of Snodgrass. Now we would like to know who this policy would injure more than the alliance members. Is it to the interest of the farmers of this country to perpetuate republican rule and the robber tariff? If so then they will not suffer from such a course. If Mr. Buchanan had only answered his own catechism with the same manliness and frank ness that Snodgrass did, democrats would not have been punching him in the short ribs all over the state. We assert again that we have no war to make on the alliance as an or ganization of farmers to promote the true interests of their calling. The farmers need organization for this purpose, and should by all means maintain it, but as a dark lantern sideshow to the democratic party there is no room for it, and its at tempt to swallow the main circus with the menagerie, camp equipage, reserved seats, ticket wagon, and all, will prove a signal failure. The far mers had in the alliance what might have been made a most beneficial order for them, but they have allow ed a few such designing demagogues and chronic office seekers as J. II. McDowell to capture the organiza tion and use it for the furtherance of their pet schemes and morbid ambi tions, and now if they wish to accom plish and good for themselves they will have to purge their own ranks of such cattle, or else rub out and start over afresh. a ghost of a show for election think for a moment what a spectacle he would make in the governor's office with not a single member of his par ty in either branch of the Legislature to support him. Dr. Kelley as gov ernor would have no power whatever to effect any legislation, but he would have the power to obstruct and re tard legislation, and he Is just erratic and cranky enough to do it from no other motive than to assert his brief authority. Dr. Kelley In the gov ernor's chair would be responsible to no recognized element of strength, In the State's political affairs. He would would be to raise money and turn it over to him (Clarkson) to be used as he might see fit. This" role Mr. Bel den humbly accepted. Then Clark son began to show Carter that he on ly regarded him as his clerk, put there to blindly obey any orders he gave. ; Carter did not fancy this at all, consequently there has been a constant friction between the two men, which finally ended in a war of words, and Mr. Carter has gone to Montana, leaving "boss" Clarkson In supreme control or the committee. The delay in getting out the demo cratic text book has been so QP.L.DREN A ,."S be subject alone to the promptings of great that no attempt will be made his own will, which is as changeable as the pictures in a revolving kaleido scope. The great Methodist church, with its taut lines of episcopacy, has signally failed to keep Dr. Kelley on a straight course, and it is not reason able to suppose that the embryonic elements of a new political party would have any better success with the venture. But there is no probability what ever, of Dr. Kelley being elected gov ernor, and every democrat who throws his vote from Buchanan to Kelley simply aids Baxter to the ex tent of one-half of his vote. No mat ter how you may theorize about it, this is the practical result. If the choice were between Kelley and Bax ter, we would certainly prefer the former, and while we do not admire Mr. Buchanan or the manner in which he has conducted the canv paign, he is by long odds preierabie to either of them. Every vote for Dr. Kelley is a semi-endorsement of the force bill and everything else that is rotten and offensive in the republi can party. The View From My Window. The following es3ay was written by ired Matthews and read to a silent audience at the Viola Normal School, Oct. 10, 1890. It describes the view from the window of his board ing house at Mr. D. II. Wooton's. The scene from my window is a picture of beauty with changeable en gravings': It seems the divine artist, Nature, had dipped his wonderful brush into the concentric bands of the rainbow, and the genial rays of many morning's sun, drawn from the rains and dews a suited oil, and made of the earth an ornamental easel. It is composed of flowers that are ever willing to speak sentiments of joy, regardless of wealth, to a droop ing soul, of argent fields that yield the golden grain and of unciferous, bacciferous and coniferous trees that buy of the earth and air their food, and pay back to the earth their autumn foliage; to the air the odors of their spring blossoms, and donate their blossoms to the bees, their boughs and twigs to the. birds and their dilicious fruits to man. The clear summer night comes and clothes each object within this picture in a shuiing goal of diamonds with its dews ; later tho beams of the sun arrive to frolic with the blooming rays in the grass. Now this scene has reached the zenith of its beauty and the shimmer ing rays of this dewy dress are the rich spangles that adorn this nature painted picture. There along the portico, grows and blossoms and bears a rough old grape vine ; but in spite of its roughness it will have its beauty ; still it clings to the mouldering wall as a festoon to the veranda. Just across tne road stands an un- couth buggy-house, a clumsy strue ture of man's in the midst of nature most beautiful. A landscape like an open picture- book is stretched out along the dex ter bank of Hickory Creek. First a field covered with stubble that is brown and sear ; then a hillside, its light color is due to the decaying leaves of the scattered poplar, and a ripe corn field ; next a gigantic mountain that is a hank of azure hue. Twilight changes the beauty, then night comes and disguises everything with a black mask. M. C. to give it general circulation. It con tains much valuable data for Speak ers and editors, and owing to the short , time remaining of the cam paign, it will hardly reach many out side of those classes, although the Congressional Campaign committee will fill all orders for them which may be received from local committees. Mr. Blaine is going to Ohio to speak in McKlnley's district, but he goes very much against his will, and only m deference to the enormous pressure which was brought to bear upon him. He Is aware of the ab surdity of his attempting to convince the intelligent voters of Ohio that his reciprocity Idea and Mr. McKin ley's high protective tariff law mean one and tho same thing, when he knows that they are as wide apart both in theory and practice as are the North and South poles. It is now an open secret here that Mr. Harrison will unload Commis sioner of Pensions Raum as soon after the Congressional elections as he pos sibly can, and there is some talk aoouc Kaunas getting his back up and resigning before the election, just for spite, as it were. The new tariff law has stampeded the Treasury department to an unex pected extent, and the complaints have only just begun. Treasury offi cials hope to escape some of the vex ation and the responsibility which properly .belongs to them, through the ridiculous order issued last week, stating that the decisions made by the Collectors of Customs would be final, that is to say, that no matter what an absurd interpretation some ignorant or careless collector may put upon the new law, the Im porter cannot appeal to the depart ment. no must either accept it or go to the expense of carrying it into the courts. It is claimed by some good lawyers that the entire tariff law is void by reason of the fact that a clause was left out in enrolling the bill for the President's signature, Legal complications as well as whole sale robbery of the people will natu rally follow this law. Justice Miller of the Supreme Court died here yesterday from the effects of a stroke of paralysis with which he was stricken last Friday, and already there is a scramble among the republicans as to who shall succeed him. Attorney Gener al Miller, who is very anxious to be fixed for life before his brother Ben retires from the White House, is of course a candidate, but there are lots more of 'em coming in on every train, so as to be here when Mr. Harrison returns tomorrow, and Mr. Harrison's law partner may get left again as badly as he did when Jus tice Brewer went on the bench of the Supreme Court liable to sudden and aevcro u.UIs, to trotip, sord throat; lung fever, etc. ' Remedies, to lie effective, must be admin- -Isttaed without delay.
