line and yell themselves hoarsa u.,

US moderns a lesson in politics ? AZ
we so dull of brain or so beso<t
with ignorance that we, though s,i'-
by dirt and begrimed with swas.
shall delegate to a few to hatch 90

by the peaceful, yet Charlton rise "
the Alliance. 1t has stilled a maI5~S
cry than this and choked to death
N ore venomous wolf. The bIood'
shirt is folded forever. Oregoni,s!
are reaching''out hands and givinp tJs
grip to Floridians. The duSkv c2o ,Is
of Louisiana is f~raternizing with 49,
blue eyed lumber men of Maine. Will
across the continent is linked a ban5
of brothers, heart to heart and hay
in hand, the foes of none, the friend,
of ala mighty host of freemer ON
Unused, vjgilant and in earnes.. dator
mined to win their rights at the ba'ot
box and by the ballot box. Yor
might more easily stay the rush of thu
wind, dam up the waters of the graat
rivers with bull rushes than attemnt
even to force this body of men to voto
for mere party any more. The fat
has gone forth and the clang of the
guillotine has lost it's terror. Thew
have awakened from a long sleep ami
they will slumber no more, for we,
they know that eternal vigilance i
the price of liberty. They have pre-.
sented a patient, sick and dangerously
sick, for treatment to the assembled
Swans of our political, therapeutics
school. In their simple Ignorance
they have made a rough diagnosis
and prescribed a few simple remedies
A consultation of experts are in ses
sion. They agree the patient is Ill.
but conclude that the prescription il
not secundum artem and altogether at
variance with the teachings OF GaIen
and Hippocrates, and in the meantime
offer no treatment nor prescribe a
remedy. Well, a sick man needs an
active not a passive physician, one
who will not only take charge of but
treat the patient. Such doctors Of
the law we need and such we will
have. No fear they will not come in
answer to the call. There are many
other Pasteurs outside the regular
profession who can devise a remedy
for a hitherto incurable disease.
Leaders are always walked amid vol
canic throes and in great emergencies.
The Alliance seeks no quarrel with
any faction or party. She is ready to
pour oil on the troubled waters Of
strife. Her mission is peace and good
will to all men. Her sons wish to
remain free and enslave none. II
there is a tyrant in this land devoted
to freedom, she will strike him down.
She envies no mans wealth. Pile
Pelion upon Ossa, only its base must
not rest on ruined homes. We wish
to enjoy only our own, to till our
farms in peace and pay tribute to no
king, whether his name be Bank.
Pool or Trust. Millions must not
grow poor with each revolving year
that a few should grow richer. Let
US be true to ourselves and to the Al.
lance and order will spring from
chaos, light from darkness, peace
from strife. Let us be ready and
watch every move upon the political
board and rally only under that flag
upon whose folds are written pledges
to secure our rights. Sow the seed,
the ruin will germinate it and the
sun will fructify it. All hail,
brothers and sisters, the clouds are
and the rainbow of hope is
over us all. Stick to your colors and
there is before you neither an Apo
mattox or Waterloo.
JULIAN H. PICoT,
President Como Alliance.
