Mr Donner erected over her grave hangs
upon the lillico wall, Alice Cary used to

Upon a face that must once have been

The Singer ?>r Topical Kong*.
There isa popular Impression that ii is
thc singing comedians w ho make the top
ical songs what they are, simply by their
manner of rendering them, by ibo cross
eyed look-; and the Inflections of voice
which they originate and introduce. Hilt
this isn't so. If il singer has goes I verses
he ClUI make I hem go and get his lillie
applause. lint if the verses are had he
can look UH cross eyed ns be may please

Verses will never he anything hut the
Hallest of failures. The lan dis don't
Come, and he cali'l do anything except
pray for bolter verses.
Hui giving the authors three parts of
the credit tor writing a brilliant verse,
the remaining portion maybe safely given
to a comedian who brings out the author's
meaning in an unctuous manner, with
good voice, dist incl ciiiuiciatIon and com
ical facial ex pression j a had comedian
without true sense ol humor might spoil
a capital verse, whereas a good one w ould
hiing out all thc points given lum hy the
author and many innes even more hy the

Tlw Pnrmcv*' Alliance
I'd' Dc In.lex .
rho farmers' Alliance is an or-j
ganization which bad ?is tullin in
tin- State nf Texas ab tit ten years 1
ago. In Hutt ?State il has grown ra
pidly and taken a deep and strong !
?mid which augurs well for its fu
ture success. Interest in it lias
boen maintained from the begin- |
liing, and alter tim lapse often .years
it is ?bund lobe still growing in i
numbers ami influence. It lins
spread into other States nf tho |
South, ami ?a Louisiana and North j
Carolina it bas met willi unusual
success. Tlic last-named stale bas
been well organized and lias sove
ral hundred sub-alliance.s which '
count their membership Ly tens cf
Ihotismuls.
In Sou I h Carolina, so fur, little
bas bien dime lowui'ds tho estab
lishment of the organization in the
various counties.
Ii: Marimi County several sub
itllianccs have been established ?iud j
a county alliance bas been perice- '?
ted. "
W illi thc exception of one sub
alliance in 1 lorry no other branches
nf thc organization have been plan
ted in Hie Stale. The spread of the
organization and its growing inflii
ence In thc community give It a
power and prominence t ai de
mand and deserve more Iban a
1 insslllg lint icc.
A careful study of the constitu
tion of the (ionci'il Alliance will,
fail tn reveal one thing to which j
reasonable objection can he made,
[ts abjects,aims and purposes are
st riet ly legitimate. More (han this
they are laudable, and it" they ure 1
carried nut in the manner and sp!- !
tit eomlemplated by tim original
leaders nf thc urbanizat ion they can ;
luit promote thc interest nf ngricttl- j
taral class ?11 every community.
Its members are banded logetli- '
er fur Hintual improvement for ed
ucation, f?>r tin' cultivation nf ni
non-partisan spirit and in .suppress
personal, local, sectional and na
tional prejudices and all unhealth
ful rivalry and selfish ambition.
There can be no more laudable '
purpose than tins In pu organiza
tion of (his nature. There is no
disposition to antagonize other elas
ses of people, Tho spirit ol' tho
Organization is friendly lo all pro
fessions ?md vocations nf men. Its <
primary object, of course, is to im
prove thc condition of thc fanners
ol' t bc conni ry and lo promote their
interests as much ?ismay bc poss i . ,
ldc, lilli does not seek thc COIlSltm- ?
mal ion of (his end by working harm
and injury to others. It recognizes
thc rights ?un? privileges of oilier
classes of citizens ami inculcates
?ind seeks to enforce the respect j
due to every class and individual
ol society. ,
The Alliance deprecates and 1
seeks to minify Ht"' prejudice which '
exist-, or i- supposed tn exist, be
tween Hie different finisses of men, ,
and w hile it seeks primarily thc
good .if nne class ?i < ult linnie object 1
is (be good (d' all thc people with
out respect lo cla<s or occupation
There is no hostility to cither mer
chant, lawyer or banker and no
disposition ol' desire tn do (lUgllt
that would injure lite legitimate
business ol' (hese or oilier classes.
One c i i Hi cully t?? bc anticipated
in thc introduction of this organi
zation is the number of similar or
ganizations already in existence in
Hie Slate.
In our own county ibis difficulty
lins not proved so great a barrier ns
it will provo in other counties ?
whore the Urangeand ibo Agricul
tural and Mechanical Society have
a strong and influential following.
Here these societies In? ,'o nearly
?ill passed nut nf active existence
?ind the Alliance hus practically
im opposition. In some of thc coun
ties, however, Hie Grange la still
fairly strong, leaving little room for
the introduction of new organiza
tions with practically Hie same ob
jects and purposes in view.
Thc separation of the farmers ;
into a number of distinct organiza
tions will naturally give them less
Influence than they would wclhllf
united in one grent body. The
other farmers' organization*, how
ever, have failod to stand the test
of time; tiley have failed, In u mea
