Afterwards the following paper was read
and adopted.
From the executive committee OF { ne
State Farmers alliance to the people OF
NJ innesota:
For two years past we have come up TO
the capital with our grievances asking
our state authorities and state conVen-
tions for relief. We have invariably re-
ceiyed fair promises, and experience proves
that these were only made to be broken.
mere stepping stones to places OF trusO
and honor. For righteous acts we get sym
pathetic words; officials, instead OF en-
forcing the laws, have become hungry poll
ticians, office seekers. iobbers, who would
barter their birthrigh1 for mess OF pot
tage. The people OF this state are SUD
iects OF cruel, relentless system OF rob-
berry, tkat forces them to pay exorfltant
prices for all they buy, and deprlves them
OF a free market for what they sell. Unlust
discrimination against persons and places
is practiced with impunity. Laws enact
ed to relieve the people are dead let
ter or perverted and made OF no
effect. Laws are framed and
forged in favor of monopolists; corruption
reigns in high places. All over the country
there are hirelings at work to perpetuate
this power; cunning knayes talking party
preiudiees to hide their own sins and lead
off the people to the polls like sheep to the
slaughter. The needs OF the hour are ster-
ling manhood, independent intelligent
vigorous action. The oath OF office is the
highest pledge, and should be held sacred.
Periured recreants should be branded with
everlasting shame and relegated to the
place provided for them-the penitentiary.
While we do not assume to dictate to the
members of the alliance 1.-THE state at
large, and have no authority to place in
nomination candidates for any office nm
der the rules OF our organization, we never
theless recommend that the members OF
the alliance, and farmers throughout
the state use their utmost en-
deavors to place in nomi nation for legis-
lative executive and judicial Offices men
who are known to be in sympathy with
the principles of the alliance as expressed
by our platform OF principles, and in this
connection it does not seem improper for
US to recommend Albert Scheffer for gov
ernor OF this state. His past record, as
well as his present position, entities him,
we believe, to the confidence of those who
are in sympathy with the principles we adj
vocate.

Rivers and Harbors.

The house committee on rivers and har-
bors has completed it's work, and has pre-
sented to the house bill which proposes to
appropriate SIS, 432,7S3 for river and har-
Dor improvements. This is the largest bill
ever reportedln any congress. The aggre-
gate will, OF course, attract much attention,
and will excite apprehension OF veto. The
last river and harbor bill was vetoed by the
president largely because OF the magnitude
OF the appropria tiCn, yet the total Of that
bill was very much less than the footings
Of the present BILL twill be claimed for
the bill that the United States is a very
large country, that its internal commerce
Is rapidly increasing, and that the; de.
mands Tor internal improvements keep
pace with the development OF the coup try;
that every item in this long bill has been
considered with the utmost care,
and that the percentage OF the amount
appropriated to the amount of the esti-
mates which have been made by the engi-
neer officers OF the government is very
small. The final allowance made by the
committee is, in fact. less than half the to-
tai amounts called for by the estima ties,
The otal bill is $19.432, 1888; the amount
OF the estimates is $4O,O41, 1913. and the
engineer officers are considered to be
scientious officers in the governments
service. OF the sum agreed upon,
the northwest gets the following sum-
Red river OF the North, $4,000.

It is II 5S. In two short minutes the heavy train, if not warned, will rush away and terrible disaster must certain ly ensue. But the old yardmaster does not move.
 Suddenly there is an impatient little squeak in the corner and tiny Shem pokes his nervous little nose out of the hole in the wall.. It is supper time and their landlord seems to be little negii- gent. Shem and Ham creep stealthily out upon the table to reconnoiter. There is not single crumb anywhere. It is shameful. Japhet joins his brothers. Still Mir Toby makes no move. The three hungry little creatures put their noses together for consultation.
 Would it not be advisable to give their kind master little hint:
 It would.
 They creep noiselessly up to the bowed
 gray head, Shem and Ham on the right
 side and Japhet on the left. By rising on his launches, Japhet can just reach
 the tip of the old mans ear Shem and
 Ham take stations close by his nose and chin and, at signal from Japhet, they each give quick nip with. their sharp . little teeth.
 The old man moves. Three little tails
 fairly snap as they disappear in the hole , at the corner of the table. The yard l, master raises his head and yawns. His mind is q little hay. What are those , freight cars moving slowly by the win
 dow.
 He yawns again. There is piece of
 paper under his hand. He picks it up . mechanically
