he not know when the legal money OF

DEAD ALLIANCES,

In response to numerous inquiries
sent out we are getting at this office
some idea of the actual condition of
our alliances.
In cases like the following we urge
some friend of the cause to go out
upon missionary work and reorgan-
ize. These are alliances which died
out before our recent revival:
LIE SUEUR CENTER, MINI.
Sept. Sth, 1890.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
hold charter 457 of dead sub
alliance; present prospects to revive
poor.
Peter Shipman, LIE Sueur Center
holds the old charter of the LIE Sueu1
County Alliance, No. not known to
me.
There was also a sub-alliance in
the town of LIE Sueur, and one in the
town of Elysian, in this county all
dead. Numbers not known to me. i
can learn anything more definite
will let you know.
Keep on with the good work.

 MT. Edmunds also gave notice of another amendment whichlhe intended d to propose to the Tariff bill, authoriz- ing the President of the United States, whenever he shall be satisfied that unjust discriminations are made by or under the authority of any foreign country against the importation of any product of the United States, to make proclamation excluding products of that country from importation into the United States. He said that this amendment was identical In all respects with one of the sections of the "Meat bill" which had passed the Senate two or three times almost unanimously but had never got any farther than the CaDafa

 "Upon the occasion of the embar ka. ton of the rem aims of Captain Ericsson it is the desire of the President to give solemn expression to the cordial and fraternal feeling that unites us with kindred people, the parent source of 8 large body of our most valued citizens, of whom the late inventor, 6 Scandina. vian by birth and an American by adoption, was the most illustrious ex- ample.
 "In recognition of this feeling and of the debt we owe to Sweden for the gift of Ericsson, whose genius rendered us the highest service in @ moment of grave peril and anxiety, it is directed that at this other moment, when we give back his body to his native coun- try, the flag of Sweden shall be saluted by the squadron.
 ne uepaSthehe IhoEeLoEo AsSues tho following instructions: The colors of the squadron will be at half mast dur ing the embarkation.

IT looks as if Mir Blaine was conduct

IT looks as if Mir Blaine was conduct ing very skillfully-planned campaign for the presidential nomination in 1892. His course would thus far seem to be directed to disposing of two possible rivals-the president and the chairman of the ways and means committee. He is overshadowing Mir Harrison in the public eye, and he virtually arraigns Mir Mckinley for deliberately throwing away the last chance to negotiate treaties with the sugar-growing coun- tries by which the sugar used in Amer ica can be paid for in part at least in iron and wheat instead of altogether in cash. Thus far he has played his hand with great skill, but all the obstacles are not yet out of his path, and there are other aspirants for the presidency in the republican party besides Mir Harrison and Mir Mckinley. Besides Mir Blaine has many bitter political enemies in re- publican politics.
