There is one thing about humanity
We never could understand, why so
nany love to hurl stones at birds and
,rutes. crippling things that do them
o harm. Through all forms of life
here appears a sign of prey that is
ot consistent with a divine origin.
|)ne of the lowest and commonest
PRACTICES is manning and poisoning
Irute5, so that they suffer fortunes be-
ore some merciful hand puts them
but of their misery. If things must
e killed, do it quickly and humanely
4 nd not barbarously. We are no firm
leliever in retributive justice, but
ave often noticed that wanton cruel
& y to animals brings its own suffering
nd punishment in due time.

Charles Counselman-I believe in
the free coinage Of silver. l believe it
can be made to float on par with
gold. We have not today one-half
the money we need to carry on bust
ness with. Bankers oppose more
money because they want to get
high rates of interest for what they
have got. Our circulating medium
does not begin to be large enough.
Look at France, with a silver curren-
cy equal to $50 for each person,
while we have but $5.. Bankers pre-
dicted the same dire consequence
from the Bland bill, but we have
gone on absolutely unconscious Of
the fact that any silver is being
coined. The great wisdom OF these
wise men told us we were to have f.
nancial panics, but we had only
prosperity. 1t will be the same now.

That MORTGAGE Census,

Is one OF the dirtiest political
frauds ever contaminated in this
country. The plutocrats who rule
this country never will let you know
the stupendous indebtedness OF labor
while they rule the people.
We have now in hand some facts to
publish hereafter. The census en-
umerators in many places, or in all
places, simply ask, lis your farm
Yes" And that is
all. No question as to amount.
Mortgages of non residents, as in our
own case, do not get on the lists at
all. When the reports are made not
one-half OF the amount of mortgages
will appear.

Mr.. Blaine has informed the anx-
ious world that the Mckinley bill
would wreck the republican party
that it ''is an outraged" Mr.. Blaine
was merely making a campaign
speech for those knaves who repre-
sent Minnesota in Congress. What
was it, Comstock, Lind, Dunnell,
Hall, Snyder-was it ignorance?-or
knavery that led you to misunder-
stand this bill, discussed for three
months? We can tell you which it
vast was both! No more COM
mon-place, inefficient, contemplate
little herd OF nobodies ever before
ruled the destinies of an empire like
Minnesota. For ignorance, broad,
deep, long, compact, OF all great ma
tional issues, OF statecraft, OF econo-
mics, of progressive civilization, we
will put these five party puppets
against any grogshop politicians in
the country.

Oh yes, the Mankato Register is a
dazzling alliance paper. Especially
in it's standing by the goldbugs OF
Wall Street in demonetizing silver.
Its pet, Dunnell, is also OF the same
ilk. After reducing the value of sill
yer from 3 per cent above gold to %
per cent below by demonetizing, these
hounds tell us they don't propose to
make this country "the dumping
ground" of silver! This same Man
kato Nuisance stands by the men
who voted for the Mckinley bill, and
for the Pacific Railway plunderers.

Some OF the old alliance ring who
labored so hard for the alliance that
at the time the GREAT WEST started
there were nearly ten real live al
liances in the state, say that we are
now trying to smooth over" our
attacks upon them. Well yes, mas
much as we are about entering a
campaign we think it wise to let
them rest Notwithstanding them,
however, that not one word ever ut
tered by the GREAT WEST in regard
to their political betrayal of the al
lance is either softened or with
drawn. In regard to the Austin Hail
Company-it is now wholly outside
the Alliance jurisdiction-not a men,
Der OF it's board being on the Execu-
tive Committee of the Alliance ex-
cepting Furlong. AS an outside and
purely local company it has a right
to do business as it pleases, though
it would be more honest to drop the
name alliance" AS a company,
otherwise than in the use of the name
alliance" we wish it well.

Pope County, has recently lost his
farm property by fire, and sickness fol-

and writes, with trembling hand,
CDR, there are SO many trying to
down the alliance-or to divide them.

them to see their interest and put

Well: Bro. Sem, say to these sleepy
heads, that all publishers go into

the question is, had the farmer rather
we would array ourselves against

one who fights for home and children

gressmen-owing to the influence of
the farmers alliance.
Well, if Minnesota so disgraces her.

that men who were already getting
$4,000 a year for supporting cas-

Every one OF these men are shame

FarmingtOn Tribune:

1t is now intimated from Washing
ton that because some of the mem
bers ofcongress from the new western
states voted in favor OF the free coin
age of silver, Idaho and Wyoming
will not be admitted to the union.
Hale, of Maine, will lead the opposi-
ton to their admission. So soon are
the arguments about the sovereign
people forgotten, and the narrow
role of the Dakotas and the Demo-
Gratis is to be re-enacted by the Rep
ublicans. This shows clearly that
the great fight is coming between
the eastern monopolist and western
freemen. 1t was this same Hale who
voted against the admission OF the
Dakotas, because the county OF Yank-
ton owed some OF his constituents for
some swindling bonds.

Letters are coming in from sections
where there are no alliances stating
that "we will most of us vote the al
lance ticket if you put up a good
one" The following from Jas.
Montgomery, of Sleepy Eye, is of
that tenor:
"Send us a few copies of your pa
per to distribute as samples. We
have no alliance here but will do
something to help the good work to
down syndicates and monopoies.
We hope you will make good nomi-
nations"
Hundreds of letters like this find
their way to this Office. The poll
ticians have no conception of the
feeling abroad.

Mankato Registor:

Mankato Register:
John Diamond, in letter to the
Journal, of this CITY, anent the COM
ing alliance state convention sug-
gested the following very wholesome
advice:
SKeep all the disturbers and kick
ers at home and send only good men
as delegates to this important con-
vention; let there be peace in the
delegations"
Eyes, that is what John wants
wants the kickers quieted-so the de-
PRAYED political traitors could sell
out the alliance as planned-and so
the ballot box suffers could get in
their work, John can afford to- keep
his mouth shut in the coming
convention, or there'll be sore kick
ing. It isn't customary in honest
work to shove in four dead ballots
at time for an elected President
when electing a secretary-nor to
crumple up a ballot in the palm of
the hand and drop it into the hat
when taking one out. We want to
observe right here--that if those pol
itical traders attempt to run the
meeting of the 18th there will be
music in the Minnesota atmosphere.

President R. J. Hall, Secretary
John Lathrop and Messrs Atwood
and Toombs we're at St. Paul yester-
day on business relating to the al
lance and the approaching state
convention. They held a secret
session of considerable length and
it is understood discussed the ways
and means for raising the necessary
funds for carrying on the campaign.
They report everything connected
with the alliance in good condition
and the membership increasing as
rapidly as ever. Every arrangement
is being perfected for the convention
July 10Th, and the attendance will
be very large, A strong effort will be
made to nominate man for govern

cans will have to put him on their

While the great industrial interests

Twenty-Five railroads operated in
N. Y. state report an increase in the
earnings for four months only, over
last year, OF the nice little sum of
$4,61O,OOO.
At the same time the state assessor
says that if things continue as they
are it will be but a few years before
not farmer in the state will own
his own farm. The Manhattan Is
land roads (sixteen) and the Long
Island (nine) make the above in
crease a million more.
The Pennsylvania system did a
business of about one million more
than last year-and this was net
too.
The Pittsburg, Fort W. & Chi. sys-
tenn report net gain of 81 100000
and more over last year, and the
Western Union Telegraph Company
declares it's usual quarterly dividends
besides enormous construction OF
new lines and purchases.

\ Remarkable Gathering.
WINDOW AND WEsTBROOK.

WINDOW AND WESTBROOK.
The editor was in Westbrook last
week Friday afternoon. The school
house was full of farmers, and all
were strong friends of the GREAT
WEST and it's work. We talked to
them for about three hours, and
felt that every man in the room was
with us.
At Window the gathering was re-
markable. We have never seen it ex-
celled for solid, earnest feeling, not
even in Crookston last month. Mr..
Hoffman, whole-souled German
farmer friend living some Is miles
from Window, brought us down to
the lite city Saturday morning. Al
though the address was to he at 2 D.
M, at $50 in the morning we looked
abroad, when five miles from town,
and counted eleven teams at one mo-
ment vending their way to the meet
ing. The hot sun drove the crowds
to the skating rink. where from $50
to 800 farmers were gathered-and
there these patient men sat during
three hours OF oppressive heat, and
listened to us with patience and ap-
parent approval. It reminds us Of
the old days when Fremont was a re-
publican candidate and patriot farm
ers gathered together to defend free
mems rights.
They took up their Irvine interests
both before and after the address.
The GREAT WEST made a PROPOSE
ton OF Patterson jute at 9hc., de-
livered freight free, but strongly adj
vised them to take half-and-half
(standard) at 1Oc. with freight from
Chicago-about 1O%c., which they
did. The local dealers were thunder
struck, as they were offering the
same Irvine at 15c.

Again and again the question
comes to us, GLOW can we get rid of
members of an alliance who do not
conform to the constitution ?"
Again we reply. you do not have
to get rid of them. They are not
members. The Constitution defines
membership. No action OF an al
lance can modify the state constitu-
ton. No alliance can therefore re-
move q member because he is not a
member. At any moment when a
man ceases to live upon a farm,
and to get the bulk OF his living
therefrom, he ceases to be a member
not by action OF an alliance, but
action of the Constitution. Any al
lance that keeps non-eligible men,
bership can be denied admission to
the state alliance. This is not our
personal verdict-it is the constitu-
ton. This may drop some very
good men-but if they are "good"
men, they will not be SO selfish as to
open wide the doors to the politician,
the land agent, the money broker,
the loan agent, etc., ETC., solely for
his own pleasure. The alliance has a
distinctly legal organization. In or
to get it's party into the politics of
this state it must conform to the
laws of
THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM
And hence we repeat, you do not
have to drop men who become ineli-
ble-the constitution does that for
you.
