EDITOR GREAT WEST:
We see from the GREAT WEST that
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly has been
outrageously pushed aside. This
movement is universally regretted
by the Wisconsin Alliance.
If the Minnesota farmers do not at
tend to their political affairs any
better, they will have but little sue
cess. They were we'll organized un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Donnelly,
and had it all in their hands. But by
carelessness have let the bankers and
brokers buy up cheap labor votes in
order to vote them out of their noble
leader. 1t will not be enough to or
ganize only, and then lay the hands
idly in the lap, and think, 30, it will
go without me!''
1t is the same all over. No class of
people care so little for their own in
terest as the farmers; and if farmers
don't help themselves who will?

The Steele Age.

In the history OF the world, various
periods have been designated as the
Golden Age, the Silver Age, the
Bronze Age, the Iron age, and so on.
The first was long, long time ago,
the age OF the early poets, the age in
which man lived in true pastoral
simplicity, the age Of demi-gods and
heroes. The Bronze Age was the age
when man made his implements OF
husbandry and his weapons for the
chase from bronze. The Iron Age
embraces the portion of time when
the most useful of all metals came
into use-and caused a revolution in
the mechanic arts. The present day
may be fifty characterized as the Age
of Steele, it having largely supplant-
ed iron in thousand ways. Our
civilization would be impossible with
out it-for our railroads would not
exist without steele. 'The Burling-
ton" belongs to the present age, it's
1000 miles of rails being all steele,
and it's equipment, speed, and safety
unrivalled. For tickets by this route,
and any information, address nearest
railroad agent, or write to w. &c.

The organization, which started in
the state ofNew York in 1873, moved
westward, then southwark, and then
up along the Atlantic coast states
until it's members embraced officially

ances are forming at the rate of one q
day in some of the states. Over L.
600 Alliances were formed in q single
year in Georgia, which now has 6, 500
local organizations, and Texas nearly
5000. 1t is said Kansas has the
largest membership of any western

At the regular meeting of the Ash

the following resolutions were I'M

RESOLVED, That we do not sup
port the Lake Benton News until it
works for the interests of the farm
ers, and has more sense and less
nonsense in it.
RESOLVED, That we support the
Independent ticket this fall.
Our township for the past six
years, has had a strong prohibition
element. Yet there are many who
donots that the humiliation of the
liquor traffic is the most important
question, and that it will help the
farmers and laborers much materi-
ally. Yet all are aware that we are
suffering great wrongs and that we
receive far too little for our hard toll,
and believe to a man that the old
parties will not and can not remedy
these great evils and maladjust-
ments of society, and is simply max

EDITOR GREAT West:
Allow me to inform you, and the
farmers, through your valuable pa
per, that Hon. J. L. Loucks, the bust
ness agent of the Minnesota Farmers
Alliance, has recently received a car
load OF Eureka Windmills, from
Kalamazoo, Mich. 1 have had an
opportunity of examining them, and
in my estimation they are the best
mill ever brought into the state.
They are the simplest in constfuc-
tion, with the best possible working
parts, and every one of these parts
is protected from the weather. No
ice or snow can interfere with the
working. Beside that each working
part, is provided with an oil cup that
contains oil enough to run the mill
for one month. The main shaft is of
steel, such as is used for buggy axels.
The turn-table, is most ingeniously
constructed, made OF chilled iron, and
runs on anti-friction rollers, all Of
which is also protected from rain,
snow or ice, when it is impossible for
anything to interfere with the turn
ing. In fact what little time I have
spent in examining the mill, convinces
me that it is the best constructed,
and made of the best material of any
mill l have ever seen. And then con-
sidering that they are to be sold to

convention at Stephen, Mimi, to
nominate candidates for Senator and
Representative.
The old tricks were tried, enemies
found in pretended friends; they will
show their hands in time, but they
failed to carry out their plans, the
farmers knew what they wanted and
would not be imposed upon.
An informal ballot was cast with
out nomination for senator and the
ballot stood:
L. G. Wood, Warren, Marshall
county, Mimi, "a.
Geo. Roberts, Stephen, Marshall
county, Mimi, 6.
c. Culberson, Argyle, Marshall
county, Mimi, 1.
Two did not vote.
On motion L. G.. Wood was de-
clared the unanimous choice by ac-
elimination.
On motion Frank Wagner, OF
Donaldson, Kittson county was de-
clared the unanimous choice for Rep
resentative by reclamation.
The choice is good, their friends
are many outside of the Alliance.
They are men who will not only be
an honor to Marshall and Kittson
Co.'s but the entire state of Minneso-
ia. They are men of ability and in
tegrity, all wool and and a yard

No one need fear getting justice from

TIE Glorious Fourth.

1t seems, by correspondent of the
Farmers Advocate, of Canton. s. D..
that our address there did not suit
the leather-headed political gang
who have run this country on to the
brink of ruin. We quote from a
friend in the Advocates columns:
ED. Moscript, Of Worthing, has a
communication in the last weeks
issue of one of the Canton Clifford or
gans in which he gives DR.. Fish and
the independent party leaders
roasting-that is, a roasting as he
would have it. He knows of no
other way to get at them, so he
tackles" them for holding a politi-
cal meeting on the Fourth of July.
and makes the Worthing celebration
the object of his attack. He init
mates that he got mad at DR.. Fish's
speech and had hard work to keep
his mouth ''from going off, right
there and then. It's to be regretted
that Mr.. Moscript managed to con-
tain himself, for nothing would have
suited DR.. Fish and his audience bet
ter than to have him shoot his
mouth off at that time. imagine
however, that he is one of those fell
lows whose tongues are naturally
loose, but usually takes good care
to hold it still when there is powder
and smoke" in the air, as he says
there was on this occasion. He is
probably one of those fellows the
soldiers say they had in the army;
they could always fight a whole brig
AIDE OF rebels at the supper table,
when there were none around, but
when on duty the next day, the
enemy appeared, their bravery, pat
riotism and superb valor and all
usually vanished into a sprained
ankle or an attack of the belly ache.
Among other things 7 see Moscript
takes exceptions to, is that Dr. Fish's
speech did not have lone word in it
to make an Americans heart glow
with pride and love for his country"
l am sorry [ was among the number
who failed to hear DR.. Fish's speech
on the Fourth, but if Mr.. Moscript's
statement is true, the Doctor has the
consolation that there are hundreds
of thousands of true hearted Ameri-
cans, who are doubtless as loyal as
as Mr.. MOscript is, who will testify
that the Doctors speech was eminent
lr appropriate. It is a remarkable
fact-a startling fact-that at the
moment Mr.. Moscrlpt was wrestling
with his narvelously cautious anger
at Doctor Fish's speech, and while
his heart was running over with
burning love and patriotism for his
country, there were thousands upon
thousands of hungry men and
women who would gladly have wor-
SHIPPED their country had they had a
bite OF bread to be thankful for. The
very country Mr. Moscript would
have them worship has been the in
strument OF their oppression, the OBJ
ject of Mr. Moscript's adorationis the
abettor of their degradation. l tell
you, friends, when a government
stoops to the things that this govern
ment is STOPPING to, it is high time
that Fourth of July celebrations are
converted into Indignation meetings
and if that will not do the work,
advocate that our ministers take up
the subject in their pulpits on the
