APPEAL FOR RELIEF.
Kansas Farmers Ask for Liquidation for
Their Relief

Kansas Farmers Ask for Legislation Tor
Their Relief
Petitions have recently been circulat-
ed throughout Kansas requesting Gov
ernor Humphrey to convene the Kansas
Legislature in extra session for the pur-
pose of providing the people with GER
tain relief measures which can not well
be deferred until the regular session in
1891. The petitions make the request
for the reason that the railroad laws
be amended so that railways may
be tcompeled to lower their rates of
freight transportation. The petitions
most numerously signed are those orig
mating with the Farmers Alliance, and
expressing the following reason:
WHEREAS, The shrinkage in values on
both real and personal property in the State
of Kansas in the past two years has caused
very great financial embarrassment among
the farmers of our State, and in many in
stances the farmers have become unable, by
reason of these shrinkages, to prevent pro-
ceedings in foreclosures, which are incr1as
ing to an alarming extent; we, the under
signed, electors of Kansas, therefore re-
sPectfully petition your EIcelency to call a
special session of the Legislature of Kansas,
for the purpose of providing for the relief
of our farmers, by the passage of a law CIV
ing the mortgager of a homestead at least
two years in which to occupy, enjoy and re-
deem, if possible, after sale of mortgaged
premises, and to provide, also, for stay of
execution on all judgments on promissory
notes and mOrtgaged bonds for a reason
able time after judgment, without bond.
1t is exceedingly doubtful that the
extra session will be called by the Gov
ernor, as he is understood to be averse
to the movement, not thinking it ad-
visable to impose such an expense upon
the State with such small prospect of

The WORK GOES ON.
The Revival in the Matter of Farmers
Organizations.

The Revival in the Matter of Farmers
Organizations.
There is more interest manifested
among farmers in the work of Organiza-
ton at the present time than ever be-
fore in the history of the country. The
older organizations, such as the Grange,
are experiencing a great revival, and
new ones are growing very rapidly. In
matters of organization, as in religion,
human nature seems to be decidedly
denominational. just as people can not
all be induced to unite with some one
church, or with any, for that matter, s.
farmers will not all join one organiza-
ton, and some will not join any. But
of all bodies of men they are certainly
the most backward in getting move
OF themselves" But once we'll or
ganized and started in forward motion,
they will form an irresistible army.
There is danger that the force of the
farmers defensive movement may be
lost by having too many different
organizations, but, after all, there is not
much TO prevent them from becoming
regiments or divisions of one great army.
The organization that has grown most
rapidly in numbers in recent years is the
Farmers Alliance.
In answer to inquiries, we give the
declaration OF purposes of the Ohio
Farmers Alliance:
Profoundly impressed that we, the Farm
ers' Alliance, united by the strong and faith
full ties of financial and home interests,
should set forth our declarations of inten-
tions we therefore resolve:
To strive to secure the establishment of
right and justice to ourselves and our pos
terity.
To labor for the education OF the agricult-
ural classes in the science Of economical
government in a strictly non partisan spirit.
To indorse the motto: I'm things essential,
unity; in all things, charity"
ito secure purity of the elective franchise,
and to induce all voters to intellgently eX-
ercise il for the enactment and execution of
laws which will express the most advanced
public sentiment upon all questions involv-
ing the interests of laborers and farmers.
To develop a better state, mentally, NOR
ally, socially and financially. Toconstantly
strive to secure entire harmony and good
among ourselves.
To suppress personal, local. sectional and
National prejudices; all unhealthy rivalry,
and all selfish ambition.
To assuage the sufferings of brother and
sister bury the dead. care for the widows
and educate the orphans; to exercise charity
toward offenders; to construe words and pur-
poses in their most favorable light, granting
honesty of purpose and good intentions to
Others, and to protect the principles of the
Alliance unto death.-Earm and Fireside.

GRANGE WORK.
The Work of the Grange Has Passed the
Experimental Stage.

The Work Of the Grange Has Passed the
Experimental Stage.
Fifty new Oranges in the year just
closed is the record for New York
fifty organizations of farmers added to
others that have been maintained
through years and with augmented
strength are ready for every good work.
1t can hardly be said that the Grange is
an experiment now, after all the years
of its existence and the numerous Access
sions to its membership. If it were
without purpose, or, having purpose,
were without spirit and will to accom-
plish, it could not have survived the
tolls it has met. But it has had, as
it still has. fixed purpose, spirit and
will. Who will say it has not influence?
In this State more than six hundred
Oranges have been formed. Some have
failed, il is true-others may yet fail
but the organization as a whole is much
stronger than at any former time and
its increase is greater. more new
Oranges, more additions to the member
shin of the earlier Oranges and all these
gains unattended by excitement Curl

ALLIANCEAND GRANGE.
PRELATE AND FARMER.

Bishop Fink Declares that No Catholic
Can Join the Alliance.
In Lenten pastoral letter to be read
in all the churches of the diocese of
Leavenworth, Kas., Bishop Fink, of the
Roman Catholic church, referring to the
Farmers Alliance movements, caused
by the agricultural depression, says:
I'VE may say that, surrounded by a
bountiful crop as We are, many OF our
people are suffering and are in misery,
uncertain what they should do in the
future. The complaints come not only
from the laboring classes in cities who
are without work, but especially from
the country districts from the farm
ing population which feels that
matters can not be as they are
for an indefinite number Of years,
or they would lose their house
and home. Owing to the peculiar state
of our country every one suffers when
the farming population is III distress.
Thoughtful persons are well aware that
the present grievances of the farmer are
but too true. 1t seems that almost every
industry in our country is protected in
order to amass riches in the hands OF
the few, by which the many will have
to suffer. The only classes not protect
ed are those who would seem TO need it
most-the laboring men and the farm
ing population"
The Bishop reviews the constitution
of the Farmers Alliance and holds that
no Catholic can join the order because
it virtually has chaplain Of its own.
This latter point he discusses at length,
and declares that if the Alliance will
drop its religious aspect Catholics can
join it and work for the good of the
farming classes.

Farmers Mill and Elevator.

Members of the Farmers and Labor
ers' Union, of Logan County, KY, have
organized company to be known as the
Union Mill and Elevator Company. with
headquarters at Olmsted, ,or the pur-
pose of conducting the business of their
order in that section. The capital
stock is so, 900 and has all been taken

union can become stockholders.

yfcar-GeDeraI Bradv,s Views.


Vicar-General Brady of the Chicago
diocese, on being interviewed in refer
ence to the above report. after acquaint-
ing himself with it's contents, said that
Bishop Fink's remarks were timely and
TO the point. There is no doubt what
ever" he said, that the Farmers AS
ISOLATION would be greatly strength
ened and their scope of usefulness ex-
tended if they would only drop their
rituals and chaplains. They are bust
ness organizations established for the
protection of farmers and the industry
they represent, and l can not see the
necessity of introducing religious
features. They are composed Of
men representing all creeds and
denominations, and any ritual they
adopt can not satisfy all. In
this diocese, which includes the entire
eastern half of Missouri. the same ques-
ton arose some years ago. We were
then asked if Catholics could join the
Wheel and the Farmers Alliance, both
of which are represented in Southeast
Missouri. We then objected to the semi
religious character of the societies, and
we have yet to be given some good reason
for the necessity of having chaplains and
rituals in such an organization. They
are organized for business and should be
conducted on a business instead of re-
ligious basis. Let the Farmers Union
drop these features and devote their
meetings to business so that Catholics
generally can cOnscientiously enter them
and by thus increasing the membership
extend the range of their usefulness. !"
