WAsnlS0roS, D. G., March 20.-Very
litto surprise was expressed this after.
noon when the announcement was made
that the Senate, by q vote OF 81 to 81, had
refused to pass tho Educational bill.
There has been steady decline In the
popularity OF this measure for almost
two years. This was due to tho increase
in tho appropriations for pensions and
public improvements and the incessent
talking for the bill by It's author. Sena.
tor Blair has consumed about ten days
in debate himself and many more days
were consumed by other Senators.
When the bill was frat voted upon a
iaw years ago II received a two.thirds
majority. The next time 1t passed the
Senate the majority. was somewhat di.
minishcd aud now 1t is no wonder that
the bill perishcs. It will not likely ever

DIVISIONS on TIE TARIFF.
Nebraska and Iowa present a
very fair idea Of tho divisions which
arc common among Republicans on the
subject OF the tariff bill. At confer.
cnco OF the Iowa Republicans, which
continued till late hour. m expression
was made which threatens to be the
unanimous decision Of the delegation
against any reduction Of the internal
taxes and in favor OF free sugar. Final
action was deferred. Just across the
Missouri in Nebraska the three mem.
bers and two Senators oppose any dis.
turbance Of the sugar duty. The grow
Ing beet sugar industry in their State is
the cause Of this position. The Nebras-
kans would prefer to see all OF the inter-
nal taxes abolished rather than have
their beet sugar industry destroyed. So
II goes each man in Congress must stand
by the local interests OF his district, but
there will be tariff bill finally passed
md it will DO very acceptable to the

Another black eye was given National
banking interests to-day through the
Granger influence. The House Com.
mittee on Banking and Currency had up
bill providing that National Banks
may loan 10 per cent Of their surplus as
well as capital stock to individuals. The
opposition to any class of legislation in
favor Of National banks appeared with
renewed vigor in the committee, and it
was agreed that the measure should be
reported adversely. It was recon.
mended by the Comptroller OF tho Cur
rency. The prospects for any kind OF
legislation intended to relieve the
National banking interests at the hands
OF this Congress are now very small.
The farmers OF the fur west have pour
ed into Congress wagon load of pc.
tilions protesting ngainst any kind Of
legislation tending to give IN impetus
to National banking interests, and Con-
sress seems to be thoroughly frightened.

RESIGNATION OF ME-. 1ouoKs.

MI. II. l.. Loucks, for more than four
years the popular president of the Dakota
Farmers alliance, and since the division
of the territory president Of the South
Dakota alliance, has resigned. His cleo
ton to the vice. presidency of the National
alliance, and the determination to here
after devote his time and abilities to
building up and enlarging the usefulness
Of the Alliance Elevator Co., are the rea-
sons given for the resignation. AS an
organizer, and in directing organization
into practical, useful channels, Mr..
Loucks has been a conspicuous success.
For more than two years he has devoted
his time jointly 10 the Dakota alliance and
the Elevator company. of which he has
also been PRESIDENT. He has been faithful
to both trusts, and has come as near CIV
ing complete satisfaction in both capac-
tiles as could be expected of fallible
mortal. In his capacity as president of
the Alliance Elevator Co., Mr.. Louck's
held OF practlcal usefulness TO the FARMERS
of the northwest is really broader than
ever. The Elevator company could not
have been-possible without an organiza-
ton of FARMERS, and farmer organizations
would be valueless without those practical,
cooperative business adjuncts of which
the Elevator company is a type. The Da-
kota alliance has lost an excellent presi-
dent. but the farmers of the entire north
west have got ar efficient ally in a posi-
ton where they most need one.-Farm

PIERRE, JAM. ~, 1880.
Editor Free Press: Will you kindly
grant me space to enter q general deniafl
of the absurd and vicious charge made in
the Aberdeen News of recent date. to the
effect that I had counselled our alliance
friends in the legislature to obstruct .legis-
lation in order to bring the republican
party into disrepute. I brand it as un-
aualifedly false and without the shadow
of foundation and it was undoubtedly
published with malice a~forethought. The
writer was doubtless actuated by a desire
to injure the alliance and weaken the in
huence of our farmer members. l am
glad to learn that few can be found to give
it credence. Respectfully Yours,
A. WARDALI.
The Free Press cheerfully gives place to
the foregoing letter, the more SO from the
fact that the editor of this paper is cog
infant of the fact that Mr.. Wardall was in
Pierre at the time referred to on business
in no wise connected with legislation, and
which must have occupied most of his
time. Moreover We can see nothing that
can possibly be gained to the republican
party by creating any dissentions in its
ranks. There are many members of the
farmers alliance who are as good republi-
cans as any need be, but are also good
workers in the alliance because they be-
lieve it to the interest of the farmers to
organize. The republican party wants to
keep all of its friends and get new ones
when it can. Regarding the fractional
fight in the alliance the Free Press has
nothing to say, but leaves that to them

THE LABOR QUESTION.

EDITOR UNION:-We have all read and
leard SO much said OF late on the labor ,
md tariff questions that I thought I
would express my views or this matter
Of all Importance to the producing and
masses.
Ihare studied the situation for some
time and have come to the conclusion
that there is only one way to solve the
problem, and that is through organiza-
ton OF all the laboring classes, regardless
OF their different trades and occupations,
Tor their common interests are the same.
We are all striving to attain the same
~Object-the bctterment Of our condition
financially, and to throw off the yoke OF
bondage which the monopolies are fore
ing upon us by the organization OF trusts
OF various kinds for the purpose OF con-
trolling the raw production Of the country
and force the producer to dispose OF his
produce at an actual loss OF the cost Of
production, and at the same time hold
the manufactured article at such a price
lis not to give the consumer any of the
benefits OF the reductions in the price of
the raw material, thereby robbing pro-
ductive industry OF the just fruits OF it's
labor.
AS I said before, the only solution OF
the problem is through organization,
and working for one purpose. We must
first advocate cooperative industry,
cheap money and land limitations.
When these ends have been accom-
plished, the tariff and free trade ques-
tons will settle themselves, for surely
cheap money will solve the problem OF
free trade.
The formation OF trusts are on e1 cry
hand. 1t is the harbinger OF coming
events; it implies that the competitive
system OF labor and production is on it's
death bed. There is nothing left for the
laboring people OF America to do but
organize a grand trust in which every
man in the United States shall have
equal interests and from which like
benefits shall result to each.
1t is no use wasting time discussing
any other subject. The tariff question
is a dead issue just as much as the old
Stamp act and the anti-slavery question.
We have now reached the era Of combi-
nations. The only question now is:
"How shall the great common people OF
the United States combine?"
The only way I see to defeat private
trusts is to build up a great public com
bine that will crush all lesser ones. We
cannot take any back steps, butwe must
press forward and profit by the example
set by the monopolies and gain our goal
through cooperation using the ballot-box
as u only means OF warfare. But to
do this, the laboring masses OF America
must stand shoulder to shoulder as one
man and speak as one voice.

The Prayer Cut Busted.

The campaign against compulsory
prayers at Harvard is being waged Wig
orously by the students. One of them
tells this incident to illustrate the hard
ships of the system:
THE prayer cut is busted" said a
sophomore when his girl asked him last
night to come with his bicycle and join
her with her tricycle. for a morning spin.
Il can't come"
"The VIII what is busted?"
"Ihe prayer cut. Don't you know
what the prayer cut isp It's cutting the
morning prayers. Don't you know?
Not going to chapel"
"And you've actually got to go to the
chapel every morningt'
"Yaas, got my prayer warning yes
terday."
and what's a prayer warningp"
"Oh, it's a thing about so long and
about so wide, and looks something
like a postal-card, or something trifline
like that; but what is your horror when
you take it up after a while to find that
it is a warming that you have absented
yourself from prayers all that is per-
mitted, and that your attendance at
chapel will be required hereafter"
And you've got to 60 to prayers
after this?"
Il regret to say that I have. You
can only cut prayers just so much, and
I've used up my cut, as / said. Oh,
tell you these involuntary prayers are
the one tyrannical survival Of barbarisn
that disfigures the otherwise fair and
pleasing aspect of the nineteenth cen.
turv. They have got to go."-M. Y. Sun.

Before our city marshal acts on the
advise OF the Republican and arrests
farmers whose teams are left on the
streets united, we advise him to begin on
delivery rigs, dray teams and carriage
horses. Not long since an effort was
made to enforce an ordinance against
driving across sidewalks. No public
notice was given, and many people COM
Ing in from the country were first made
acquainted with such an ordinance by
the justice before whom they were
brought and fined five dollars. Often
the walks driven over would need to be
unearthed to be seen. Put up hitching
posts and then post notices throughout
the city before making arrests.
