Resolutions have been adopted by

country asking that congress require
the superintendent Of the census To
ascertain what percentage Of our peo-
pie own their homes, and TO what OK
tent these homes are incumbered.
Petitions have been sent in from oil
parts Of the west asking for this same
information In response TO this e1.
pressed will Of the people bills have
been introduced authorizing the
superintendent Of the census to col
lect these statistics Senator Hale
from the census committee in the
American House Of Lords reported
back the senate bill adversely on the
10th inst. The information that
would be accumulated under q pro-
vision Of this kind would not likely
accord with the sentiment that 'with-
in our own borders general prosperity
prevails" and IL is not the kind Of
information that these magnates de-
sire distributed among the people.

is made by this congress for enlarging

Herald, containing an article headed
"An effort to arousethe political preiu-
dIces Of the Farmers Alliance" The
effort referred to consists Of the fol-
lowing taken from the Logan
Freeman.
The old party organs arc like the man
that had the bear by the tail, they don't
know whether to lot 80 or hold ON, in the
face of the present organization of tho
farmers alliance. While the alliance is not
political, they will cast their votes for mem.
bers Of Congress who will advocate and
carry out their principles, and this in itself
will down 80 out Of every hundred who sit
in Congress aud state legislatures at the
present time. stroke Of paralysis seems
10 have stricken the fellows who formerly
yelled anarchy at the knights Of Labor for
the principles Of the alliance are identically
the same. The great work started by the
X. of L. is almost accomplished and thou
sands Of farmers are now enrolling under
the very banners they were so used to hear
cursed and abused less than two years ago.
We can well say "God be praised the light
is breaking" The bravest and best men in
the rank and file are breaking loose from
the demagogues who have appealed to their
preiudices whilethe robbed their wives and
children. Freeman.
In commenting upon this little
item the editor Of the Herald goes in
to Mysteries over this imaginary effort
to arouse political preiudices to the
injury Of tho alliance. We desire
very kindly to call his attention to
the proceedings of the ST. Louis meet
ing where the Northern and Southern
Alliances, the Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit Association, the Agricultural
Wheel, and the Knights ofLabor met
together and either consolidated or
agreed to act together for the advance
ment Of Interests that are common.
Docs the editor Of the Herald under
stand the significance Of that consoi-
dation Of interests? Has he read the
compact entered into between the con-
solidated body that assumed the title
of the Famrers' Alliance and Indus
trial Union, and the Knights Of La
Dor, signed by the representatives OF
both orders at that great meeting
We suggest that he take little time
TO inform himself of what the real
purposes of the order are before he
speaks too freely ii its behalf, in
criticism of the Logan Freeman.
The article in the Freeman correctly
represents the sentiment OF the order
or we do not understand what that
sentiment is. 1t is true the alliance
is not a political party and the Free
nun docs not claim that it is. 1t sim
ply itates the common sense propo-
sition that "while the alliance is not
political the members will cast their
votes for members of Congress who
will advocate and carry out their prin-
ciples." II they are not to do this
they may as well be at once resigned
to whatever fate may have in store
for they.
To settle this proposition definitely
and finally we quote the following
The advocate., 1890-01-23

ln1ANAiB bAo AAAENlh Oh AihODGs having
read the demands OF the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, which are embodied in this
agreement, hereby endorse tho same
on behalf Of the knights Of Labor,
and for the purpose Of giving proc-
tical effect to the demands herein set
forth, the Legislative committee Of
both organizations will act in con
cert before Congress for the purpose
Of securing the enactment of laws in
harmony with the demands mutually
agreed.
"And it is further agreed, in order
to carry out these objects, we will
support for Office only such men as
can be depended upon to enact these
principles into statute law uninAu-
enced by party GAUGES"
This is precisely the position Of the
Order. The first Of our declaration
Of principles points directly to pur-
suit Of this policy. "To labor for the
education Of the agricultural classes
in the science of economical govern
ment in strictly non-partisan spirit
and to bring about more perfect
union of said classes"
1t matters not in what political
party our work may be done; and any
party that is ready to undertake it in
good faith is entitled to our support;
but that we are to be silent upon po-
litical subjects in the alliance is the
most ridiculous kind of nonsense.
What we must do is to beGome 80
educated as not to be tied TO our old
party regardless Of whether it is right
or wrong; and we rejoice to know
that this is the kind OF education that
our members are receiving to day.
%heold lines that separated the demo
crqt from the republican disappear
in the alliance, and men Of all parties
meet together in friendly consultation
as to matters Of common interest
and they have no difficulty in agree
ing to support men Of any party who
can be trusted to carry out the pur-
poses for which they are organized.
Partisan feeling disappears, as il
mp0Ldisappear in this struggle for e. o
common rights Of manhood.
The Herald says speaking Of the
Alliancel Newspapers Of every po-
lltical complexion are friendly to it
and so far the Order has had smooth
sailing, and all has been harmony
and peace"
What kind of newspapers has the
editor of the Herald been reading9
Is it not a well known fact that very
few indeed Of the partisan papers
ever mention the Order except with
reproachY Some Of the more far
sighted are cautions about giving
oifense, but they are not very siren
uously advocating the interests Of the
Order, tits one of the most apparent
facts in the policy Of the partisan
press that a concerted effort is being

HIGHwAYMEN IN HELENA.
e. W. McNeal Attacked by Two Mon ON
Helena Avenue.

+. W. McNeal Attacked by Two Mon ON
Helena Avenue.
E. w. McNeal, the well-known old-timer
and mine operator, had curious experience
while on his way home to the depot Satur-
day night. He was riding in light wagon,
drawn by two ponies, and while driving
down Helena avenue about II O'Clock, was
accosted by two tougA-looking customers
who said the wanted to ride. One Of them
Immediately began to climb into the rear
end of the vehicle and the other started to-
ward the horses.
The mar. who was getting into the wagon
asked his pal If he was all right and the lat
ter replied that he was. He then told Mr..
McNeal they wanted his money and were
going to have it. Nc. then began to think
the matter was little serious and started
his horses at lively gait, at the same time
reaching for his cane, with which he gently
tapped the would-be robber on the head.
Not liking this he tumbled out and was left
behind.
Mac drove on to tho depot, but on arriv-
ing there concluded it was not we'll to leave
two such characters as his assailants abroad
in the land, and went back for the purpose
into serious difficulty. He drove up the
avenue to about where he thought the men
ought to be and turned around, when the
robbers suddenly darted out of the dark
ness towards the horses heads and de-
manded money.
Damn you, you have got money, and we
are going to have it, said one.
Mao then concluded not to arrest the
men. but started his horses on a gallop. He
barely run the gauntlet of the two high
waymen and reached home in safety. As it
turns out, the affair was rather amusing,
but there is no telling how serious it might
have been had the men succeeded in their
desperate undertaking. There was time
in Montana when the attempted perpetra-
ton of such crime would have ended dis
astrously to the criminals.

The Fourth of July.

The camp, Ruby City, is assuming consid-
cradle activity, and preparations are being
made for starting up the different mines.
The Fourth of July is attracting considera-
BILE attention at this time on account of the
high grade ore that is being mined on that
property, says the Oknanogan Outlook.
There are now ten tons or more of ore on
the dump recently taken from this mime for
shipment. This test has been assorted with
considerable care and will mill to exceed six
hundred dollars to the ton. It is estimated
with the present showing seventy or eighty
tons of similar grade and character could
be mined without difficulty. There is
large amount of low grade ore on the dump
which will run from fifty to three hundred
dollars to the ton. The work Is being pros
ecuted under the direction of Mr. John
Melch, who took charge of the property in
February.
