About 2t)() iieopl.i witnessed the hang-
iti(f. Crunipton mado a HtHtenient on
tho palloWH sayinrf that whltdcy hud
brought him to hia preaunt eonditinn.
Ho warned those pivsent when they
took a (flas of liquor to look Intuit
and they )'oUld aeo there tho hani'-
mnn'i noono. Ho protonteil his inno-
coneo to tho lust saving thut his ene-
mies had sworn hislii'e away and that
tho real murderer would boiiio day be
apprehended. His spiritual adviser
tho Uev. Mr. Williams paxtor of the
M. E. church reiul a few verse from
tho New Testument and offered a fer-
vent prayer for tho doomed man.
The black cap was adjusted and at
10:110 tho trap was sprung. Tho vic-
tim's neck was broken and in six min-
utes tho attending physician pro
nouneed life extinct. The body wa
tnken down and placed in a cheap pint!
codln. The relatives then took charge
of the body and will Inter it at liras
I. T. in tho family burying ijrourld.
Tho murder for which Hood (Vumpton
paid tho)enalty was committed Novem-
ber 3 l.! near Muskogee t'i'eek na-
tion. Tho cvldeni-e against him was
all circumstantial but very strong. Tim
proseoiitlon established tho fact that on
Sunday Crnmpton and Sam Moi-an
starte'd on horseback to visit sumo
yoiini? lmlies several miles away Hoth
werelHdintf horsea beloniin;to Morgan
who had a large crop in the neighbor-
hood. Lato In the evening Crumpton
returned leading the horse riden away
by Morgan and also having in hossoss-
lon the gun and overcoat of tho do-
censed. Ho stated that ho and Morgan
hud met a man in a buggy who had em-
ployed Morgun to go with him to Paw-
nee Agency to work and that Morgan
had instructed him to tuko charge of
his horses and crops and other prop
erty and take care of It until his re
turn.
Seven weeks later tho dead body of
Morgau was found aonm distance oil tho
road traveled by tho two men on tho
Sunday morning aliove mentioned in a
deep mudhole made by the unrooting of
a large tree lie had "eon snoi in ino
head and from tho positioned the body
and tho range of tho bullet. It was evi
dent that ho had been shot after ho got
into tho hole on this evidence tho the
ory was advanced that t'rumpton had
induced his companion to go down
into the hole bv representing that there
was some whisky concealed there and
th 0 shot him.
As soon as tho body of Morgan woe
discovered the friends of the (lead man
caused f'o arrest of t i umpton and he
was lodged in jail hero tile latter part
of December lt(. At the trial the
prosecution traced Crumpton and his
victim all the way along the road to the
killing and from that point m a round'
about w ay back to the place of shirting.
The only' defense brought out was the
bare statement of tho defendant with
no ev'denco in support of It. He
was convicted on June .( IH:iO and sen-
tenced to bo hanged August 2 of the
same year but he tik hu apcal to the
supreme court of"lhe United States.
After considerable delay tho judgment
was aftiirmed the mandaio being Hied
here April Irt 18M. Ho was resen-
tenced April 2.V and his attorneys then
sought executive clemency hut failed
to accomplish anything.
After this the young man began te
make preparations for his doom and
has conducted himself in such a man
ner as to gain the sympathy of all con
nected with the jail. Ho has at all
times modestly assorted his innocence.
He says ho is the victim of a peculiar
chain of circumstances w hich he had
no means of overcoming. After re
ceiving his last sentence he prepared a
statement which was published in the
pam-rs here giving an account of him
self during tho entire day ou which the
murder was committed.
Ho was but years of ngo and a
splendid specimen of physical human-
ity. Ilaliiiced's nutchrrlrs.
New York Juno 110. A corrcs)otid-
ent at Santiago de Chill writing May
'lutb Bays: in Chili to day scores of
men were shot. In this city the shoot-
ing of tho officers and sailors of tho
toi-elo launch (Joadlo was the se-
ial feature of the wholesale execution.
Tho men wero placed in one of the
largo rooms of tho juil last night and
thosfl who desired to confess did so. At
tno side on a table wus a silver cruci-
fix between two candles. The heart-
broken sobs of tho prisoners inter-
mingled with the low tones of tho
priest who on bended knees exhorted
tho condemned men. Even tho stern
soldiers of Halmaceda who were on
guard could not repress tears. All
night the solemn ceremoney continued.
It was scarcely day break when tho
shrill notes of a angle were heard.
Soon six companies of infantry were on
line in the prison yard. An ofticer
quickly ascended tho tes loading' to
the capilla as the room is called and
handed tho officer on guard a document.
It was the seutenco and order of execu-
tion which was read and then the
funeral procession was formed As tho
prisoners stepped out of tho room each
was put Ix-tween two grim soldiers.
When all had bevn thus placed tho pro-
cession moved out of the prison and
was met by two companies of mounted
men formed in two long lines between
which tho men proceeded on foot to
the p'ace of execution. There was not
a soul in the streets.
On arriving at tho pla.a tho troops
formed in a hollow square and a sec-
tion of sharp shooters took po-'lliona
opposite tho condemned men. Not a
muscle of their faces moved. They did
not seem to realize that these men
whom they were tho next minute to
send to their graves wero their breth-
ren. After the prisoners had kissed
the crucifix their hands wero tied be-
hind them and then tho command
"I'repare aim fire!'' rang out. A vol-
ley little puffs of smoke and the execu-
tion was ao-omplished. About a dozen
men had been sent into eternity because
they espoused the cause of liberty as
thev understood it.
The list of Halmaceda's cruelties Is
terrible to contemplate. Men and
women are butchered for daring to ex-
press an opinion and thrfre seems to be
no limit to the brute's devilishness.

For ninny months the Kansas Farmer
bus be ui much uiuused at tho ivpi.bllcuu
press try lug to persuade itself Into tho
belief that tho fanners' alliance and ln-
iliisli lal union la simply an auxiliary to
llio democratic party Many a smile
have wo enjoyed as wo calmly watched
Hie desperation with which these jour-
nals attempted to misinform their read-
ers. As each and every member of the
alliance positively know bettor; of
course tho only converts to such silli-
ness could only coino from those outside
of the organization most of whom have
bocomo too woll hU d to bo longer Im-
posed upou.
Now dear deluded friends of the old
party press wo will kindly inform you
that tho farniors alliance and indus
trial union cannot possibly becomo an
auxiliary to any political party without
violating Dot n the letter and spirit or
Its constitution. It is a non-partisan
organization and must rcmaiilso. Hut
while this Is true it is also a fact that
Hie organization Is Intensely political;
It Is a school lor tho study "of political
economy independent ot any jxilit-
icttl uoclrino or nrganination.
In considering tho questions of tho day
It has honestly "hewed to the line" fa
voring no ono party more than tho
other; h has determinedly and steadily
inarched for tho truth. As a result of
this investigation and reasoning from
stTocl to cause camo tho St Juls
Omalia and )cal demands. These de-
mands havo been before the public for
months and all existing imlitical par-
ties know just what is wanted by the
great Industrial cla-sses of this country.
What has been tho result? Tho great
money powers of tho world plainly saw
that the acceptance of these demands
by either ono or both of tho two great
Parties meant death to thein and cur-
ing nothing for parties only inasmuch
as they could bo used to "feather their
own nests" they resolved that tho old
organizations should stand by them In
a desperate struggle for life and thut
In case of defeat thev must all go down
together. Hrielly this is tho situation
lo-day. Hoth of the old parties
aro cont-olleil by the unscrupulous
money power and cannot accede to tho
demands of the people: they must goon
In tho same old channel. Not being
Ublo to meet or discuss tho issues of tho
day as demanded by the great liuhist-
liul classes of the count ry these old line
politicians have very foolishly entered
upon a campaign of abuse which can
only drive the rank and file of the people
farther and farmer from any hope of re-
lief from them. Hoth of the old parties

relief For their prayers tho jK-ople
havo received derision and abuse and
for their continued ietitioiis have Ix-er.
Bpurned with contempt from all legisla-
tive assemblies until ail hopo has
fled This is no surprise to us. To an
observing mind and close student such
position by tho old war parlies is in-
evitable lit the very nature of things
It cannot Ik- .otherwise. Tho great
money power of tho world took advant-
age of our condition in civil war and at
Its close Immediately gained control of
both of tho lato contending foi-c.-s. and
havo ever since used them tho Repub-
licans of the North and the Democrats!
5f the South to further their own in-1
sts fl.'id rob the people. How
well they have succeeded is plainly seen
In the accumulation of the great wealth
3f tho country into the hands or Hie few
agents of the great money power
ind the continued increasing indebted-
ness of the people. These conditions of
tilings and the causes are now being
pretty well understood. Ever since the
war until within a few years the great '
wealth producing classes of tho United j
Stales havo permitted politicians to do ;
their thinking and with blind eonli-
lonco followed their instru lions in all
legislative matters liut mey linnlly
iisoovcred that their conlldeuco had
been imposed upon and that their )h;i-
tuittod leaders and supposed friends and
guardians were traitorously scheming i '
ugai list tiicm und rapidly placing them
In the power of the great robbing mon
ey Kings of tho earth.
l.atlons have petitioned and ((egged and
pleaded und prayed lor relief all t hese
years: and the haughty minions of po
iilieal power nave spurned both them
and their petitions and prayers. Do
not bluut'J them for your overthrow
hut blame your own blind and miser-
able folly.
The action lately tukon by tho con-
ference at Cincinnati has mode the fu-
turo of our polities so uncertain as to

we In-foro stated wo consider it an utter
Immtnsibility. Sooner or later each

Shorter Hilnrs ot Labor
Ono of tho uttimutes of thin great re
form movement must bo shorter nodi's
of labor In all industrial pursuits; and
as a consequence more leisure more
time for rest and recuperation greater
opportunities for recreation more
hours for study and intellectual im'
proveincnt.
However great may be tho efforts of
our opiMinents to create division in the
ranks or luhor by deseunting upon tho
antagonistic interests between those
engaged in agricultural und other in
dustriul pursuits upon this question
tho lact Is no such antagonism exlsta.
There Is not in all cases a perfect un
derstanding of tho conditions and needs
of each class by all the others but
when such understanding exists there
cun lie no conflict in the ranks of labor.
While present conditions may not
now admit of shorter hours In all Indus-
trial departments one of tho ultimate
objects of this movement is to so revo-
liitionizcconditions us to render such
I'hango practicable; and In all coses
wl ere It Is now possiblo its adoption
instead of operating to the detriment
of unyone. is in reality a benefit to all.
It is in tho shops and mines and all
Indoor occupations that shorter hours
should first lie established. There are
many reasons w hy this is true. In the
various trades nnil mechanical pursuits
latKir-saviiig machinery has vastly mul-
tiplied the possibilities of production
and to a corresponding extent curtailed
the demand for men the hours of labor
reinait ing as before. Under our "pres-
ent system tlln employer derives all of
the benefits of these increased facilities
whilo thousands of men are In enforced
idleness inconsequence. Shorter hours
to those now employed would atTord op-
portunities of labor to those who are
now idle. Ee-y idle mail find Ing em

tural but uUo of manufactured product

I at once routed. An increased demand

the condition of the faninir and likewise
increase his demand for the products of
the laetorv. the shop and tho inino.
This st i molds to industry would thus
gradua.lv extend itself to every depart'

activity und more uniform prossTity to
all. 1 here is right m this ono ques

and voters patriotically determined
that this shall yet be "a government of
the people by the people and for the
people. '
Now comes the much misunderstood
and misrepresented question: What
will the Alliance do with the new polik- j
ical organization the people's party? j
Inlhj language of President Polk's ;
paix-r the Progressive Farmer of
Haleigh N. C it ought not to take
much wisdom to answer that question.
The new party has adopted tho alli-
ance demands into ita platform. Diss
anyone suppose that intelligent alli-
ance men will vote against a party that
adopts those demands and in favor of n
party that not only fails to ado. t. but
resists those demands? The western
alliance states have already pone into
the new party. Will not the necessity
for unity force the other alliance
states to go into the new party ulso?
We see no way to prevent tho new
party from sweeping the country ex-
cept that of the old parties cheerfully
conceding to the people every one of
their just demands If the alliance
men are to be blamed for goinu into
the new party then a hungry child can
be blamed for going to sonie one w ho
can and will furnish him food. Gentle-
men of the old parties if tho time
comes when your ranks shall dp broken
your leaders overthrown and vour
heritage takec from you do not b'.iie
the aliianrs for your ru;n. The necDle
