The Farmers Alliance in Politics
Is the Farmers Alliance a political

Is the Farmers Alliance a political
institution, is a conundrum which the
Aberdeen News is endeavoring to
solve. It gives the organization notice
that if it is, its days of usefulness are
numbered. W. notice Of late an IN.
defnable something in the tone of
the political articles appearing in the
News that may not be bulldozing but
still not very far removed from it.
The Farmers Alliance have a per-
feet right to enter the political arena
whenever their interests lead them
there. Not only have they a perfect
right to do 50, but it is their duty to
do so. More than any other class in
the territory, the farmers are inter-
ested in the public questions of today.
When it is possible for the farmers to
obtain through either of the political
organizations such representation and
legislation as their interest seems to
demand, it is much the more desirable
way to attain it. When however,
existing political organizations ignore
the farmers, and their interests, who
can question the legitimacy of indie
pendant action on their part? If one
party comedies to their reasonable de-
mands, aud another one ignores them
who can question their right to 10y
ally support those who support them?
The object of the Farmers Alliance
should ingraft views and their inter.
ests into the platform Of all political
parties. All of Dakota's political par.
ties ought to make haste to study the
warts and necessities of agriculture,
and the wants being discovered, there
ought not to be a second thought
intervene between the conclusion and
the action. There is higher law than
political consideration that appeals to
US for honest, independent action in
it's behalf. Our own material interest
is involved with theirs. When these
considerations fail to control political
parties, or when political parties are
dominated by foreign and adverse
interests, we hope, and shall hope,
that, so far as the territory of Dakota
is concerned, the Farmers Alliance
will possess intelligence enough to
realize the fact, and courage enough
to resist it, by Independent political
action, if necessary.-Grand Forks

Scandinavian Disafection.

The Scandinavians element cuts 9 very
important figure in our Northwestern popu-
lation, not only because Of its numerical
strength, but more particularly because of
the intelligence. and independence which
characterize the Scandinavian people. Thus
it is their influence is wider than their own
circle. They readily adapt themselves to
our American ideas, and with remarkable
comprehension quickly gain an iptelligent
understanding of the political il5pse -,
sented to the people Of this 1lntl 10
have one evidence Of this in
unanimity Of opinion among
Wan farmers of the NorthwSok6o
question. They are in advance Of many<f
our American born farmers on this ques-
ton, for they do not suffer their individual
interests to be sacrificed because Of blind
party prejudice, or by reason of false educa
ton. The recent disaffection Of Norden, the
leading Norwegian journal Of Chicago, from
the republican ranks is o gratifying indica-
ton of the Scandinavian disposition to act
intelligently and independently on oil ques-
tons in which q principle is involved. The
high tariff and free whisky platform adopted
by the Chicago convention did not please
Norden, and consequently it ~repudiates the
whole thing-platform, party and all-and
advises its readers to do likewise. Norden
urges the Scandinavian people to stand
brsvely for the principle Of tariff reform, to
which they are attached, and insists that the
only way tariff reform, can be accomplished,
is by voting for Cleveland and Thurman.
Norden has . large circulation among the
Scandinavian people Of Minnesota, and we
hope that its words Of wisdom viii
be heeded.-St.Paul Globe.

The brave deed Of Alderman WILLIAM
H%AnRrNoToN, of Orange, in leaning forward
from q hand-car on which he was riding at
rapid speed and snatching q child from the
track, upon which it had fallen, illustrated
the value Of perfect self possession and Witt
action in emergencies.
SoEf-possession is much more than self-con-
troll. The latter means the power of restraint.
The former puts q man in active control of
all his faculties, and enables him to think
and act Oh the instant. A moments bewil-
derment or delay in the case noted and the
car would have gone crashing over the child.
An eye, a nerve and-a judgment that work
together in such an emergency are of the sort
that make heroes of men.

But there is another which IL somewhat
rarer in occurrence is q very potent source OF
peril and which has at times produced very
calamitous results. This is where tho air

which restraints it. When this is the case II
breaks out with a terrific explosive force and

WHAT LABOR THINKS.

The stupid falsehood is persistently

The $4,000 protests against repeal sent to

nailed this as a lie. The only requests or
pressure for a repeal came from bankers and
other money magnates. Do the working
people usually select such mediums to make
known their wants? -
Yesterday the Central Labor Union, repre-
senting 100, 900 workingmen in this city.
adopted a resolution requesting the Governor
to veto the bill now in his hands. Do not

THE TEAPOT

It Is quite absurd to try and make q burning
issue out of the differences between the
Mayor and the Aldermen on the flag ques-
ton. -.
One would think, to read the frantic call for
o meeting TO " support Mayor HEwIrT in his
opposition to flying foreign flags on the City
Hall" that the Stars and Stripes were seri-
ously menaced, and that t-r-r-eason was
afoot.
The plain truth is that nobody fought for
the glorious - flag of the free more en-
Enthusiastically and desperately in the late
war. or would do 30 again if it were menaced,
than the citizens of foreign birth who retain
q sentimental regard for the green banner of
Erin and love to salute 1t once q year.
The whole thing is teapot tempest, and
the Mayors zeal is like nothing SO much as
that of Don Quixote when he ran q tilt at the
windmill.

PARK SERGEANTsl HOPEFUL.

The Bill Taking Their Positions Permanent
10 Go Before the senate To-Day.
By an unconstitutional vote in the Senate
last Friday, the bill making the positions of
the Captain and sergeants Of the Park Police
permanent was defeated by one vote. Sew
bill, and as only sixteen affirmative votes
were cast the bill comes up for another ballot
to-day. and if the required seventeen are cast
in its favor the bill will then only require
Gov. Hills signature to become n law.
AS only twenty members of the Senate
were present ut the time of voting, the SER
geants are hoping that among the twelve alb
sentees at least one can be found who will
vote In their favor.
Park police officers should not be placed on
the same footing as those on the municipal
police, and with this consciousness of o good
cause they are confident of success.
