It is not a racical, neither is it a veligious one. Itis an cconomical persecution. The Jews are not producers. They do not till thesoil. They do no manual labor. They are usurers, brokcers or saloonkespers. They charge 400 por cent interest, and the peasants baving 10 money to pay are compelled to work for them all the time. 1f they don’t work they goto jall.

Kaxsas Crry, Mo, April 10.—[Special Telogram to Tur Bee.|—Since the farmers’ alliance has taken hold of affairs in Kansas many surprising things have been done, but tho mostunique and daring plan that has yet been envolved by that body is a reported scheme to build a trung railroad line across the state, This proposition will be made the issue of the next political fight in Kunsas by the alliance. The plan is for the state government to construct a trunk line about two hundred aud fifty or three hundred miles in length, and for the counties to build a net work of branches that will touch every im- portant point_ in the state. It is said that the right of way privileges would be donated in every instance aud that the branches would probably be built on tne section lines, There i5 more rallroad mileage in Kansas than in any other state in the union outside of Illinois, and rail- road men are inclined to think that the plan will never be carried out. So far, it is said, talk of the scheme bas b nfined to the leading members of the alliance in the state, and Lhey refuse to say anything on the sub- ject. President Frank MoeGrath of the farmers’ alliance in Kansas is in the city to attend the meeting of the farmers' alliapce and he admits that the subject is now belng plannea out. ‘The alliarce is radical in the reforms it undertakes, and among the thinking men who have kept apace with its movements it has been sencrally believed for some time that its next move would be & step to secure control of the railroads. - South American Surveying Party.

The boot and shoe trade is uncommonly dull, with prices tending rather downward. The sales of half a million pounds of lake copper at 133 cents are reported, Lead is weaker, but tin has been advanced by speculation The outlook for the bailding tradeis gen evally favorable, though labor troubles in some localities are still threatened. Reports from the various centers of trade are about thesamo as last week, but recognize the temporary slackening sven more gonerally while it i3 attributed mainly to bad weath and the state of country roads.
