fixed for Sept. 18th, 1890, to which

Mr.. O. G. Wilson was elected dele

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l have read with satisfaction in
your paper the action of the Execu-
tive Committee of the State Farmers
Alliance in deciding to call q conven-
tian of the Farmers Alliance of Min
nesota to nominate a separate State
Ticket. If they also could arrange
matters with the Prohibitionists as
well as with the labor organizations,
of the cities, there would be no doubt
about the outcome of the election.
If the Alliances had started as a sep
arate political party at first, and
worked to educate the farmers to
vote with their own party, they
would now have been more used to
act and vote Independently of the
old parties. The alliance leaders
have repeatedly said that we should
vote for the best men irrespective OF
parties and then we would get relief.
That is what we have been doing for
a good many years, but without any
apparent result. If the alliances
could make no further progress to-
ward the desired end than to vote

Is it the intention of this admins
tration to misrepresent the mort
gage Indebtedness existing and un-
satisfied upon the farms in the United
States for the purpose of showing
that the Industrious classes are
more prosperous than they really
are?
If not why are the enumerators
not instructed to ascertain such
mortgage Indebtedness from the rec
ords Of the Register OF Deeds OF the
various counties, the only place
where such actual Indebtedness can
be ascertained. l venture to assert,
without fear of successful contradic-
ton, that not more than three-quar-
tiers, if one-half the Indebtedness OF

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
At meeting of our Subordinate
Alliance, recently, it was almost un-
animously decided by our alliance
that a complete independent ticket
be nominated, and it is also our wish
that every alliance in the state will
work for the ticket. With all the
energy that our young Alliance
promisesa defeat will be impossible.
"Let the good work go on is our
motto. We need a complete revision
of our laws, and we earnestly hope
that some time in the near future the
farmer can send his produce over the
different roads at a reasonable trans
portation rate. We have been bled
by railroad corporations and mon
opolists of every imaginable descrip-
ton long enough. The sooner it
comes to a termination the better.

Alleged Unclaimed Estates in Europe

Alleged Unclaimed Estates in Europe
If you fancy you are heir to vast I'M
claimed estate in Great Britain, France
or Germany, drop the foolish notion
There are no vast estates in Europe
waiting for anybody. In the British
court Of chancery there are all told no
more than $4,000, 900 awaiting claimants.
In the bank of England are only few
small sums unclaimed, and none over
$1,000.
No poorhouse old woman ever fell heir
to $4,000, 900, and no tramps rich uncle
ever died in Scotland and left him $780,
600. Fiction, pure fiction. A set of
swindling scoundrels in Europe feed on
the credulity of us Americans, who
think we are SO sharp, and gull individ-
uals into believing their ancestors left
vast sums of money only waiting to fall
into their laps. There is nothing in it,
absolutely nothing. These swindlers set
all the stories going, they always make
the gulls subscribe sums of money to
prosecute an inquiry which is never
made, and which would not amount to
anything if it were made. These scoun-
drels get their living off credulous Amer
leans in that way. The only way to get
a fortune is to get it through your own

Jamaica's Exposition.

Jan. 1, 1891, Jamaica will inaugurate
her first national fair, under the auspices
of the home government of England.
The fair will be formally opened by that
young sprig Of royalty Prince George of
Wales, and the governor of the island,
Sir Henry Arthur Blake, promises that all
will be in readiness. 1t is to be hoped that
American merchants will not neglect the
opportunity to extend knowledge of our
wares into this interesting and beautiful
island. Applications for exhibition space
must be made previous to July 1. A
committee in New York will receive ap-
plications and grant space. It is expect
ed that the steamship City of Rome will
lie in the harbor at Kingston as hotel,
accommodating 700 persons.
The exposition is for the double pur-
pose of attracting outside attention to
Jamaica and for waking up her own citi-
zens from sort of bli1sful laziness which
has crept over them. Especially Ameri-
cans arc invited to exhibit sugar making
machinery, with it's latest Improvements.
The governor of Jamaica believes she
will have large market hereafter for
sisal hemp, which is the fiber of the
agave Americana. This is being utilized
for cordage, and lands otherwise useless
can be cultivated with it to an unlimited
extent.
The new governor is full of vim. A
million and half dollars have been
spent under his administration for roads
and public improvements. In all the
measures for the development of the ISL
and the $1,000 white inhabitants take
considerable interest, while the 600, 900
black ones look ON with apathy.
Next winter will witness popular ex-
cursions from the United States to the
Jamaica exposition. The fair grounds
will be beautiful as dream with palms
and gorgeous tropical plants. The tree
moving machine has been resorted to,
and in ono instance palm forty feet
high has l,een lifted and transported
bodily into the park surrounding the
buildings. Full exhibits Of the best
machinery and methods for preparing
textile fiber, coffee, cocoa, ETC., are de-
sired. The climate of Jamaica is unsur-
passed as winter resort. Here will be
opportunity on grand scale for both
business and pleasure.

for the best men it might as well dis
perse, as either of the old parties
have presumably always voted for
their best men and consequently
there would be no object in CARRYING
on a large organization for the pur-
pose of electing the same men be-
cause they would get there anyway.
My humble opinion is that if the
reform and progressive parties shall
accomplish any betterment in our
condition they must unite and strike
out boldly for the righteous cause OF
the unfavored many and not be led
astray by the old schemers.
Gov. Merriam acknowledged him
self in his speech at the State Alliance
meeting last winter that the rail.
roads had been allowed to issue too
much watered stock, but promised
that if we were prudent, Industrious
and good we should get much desired
reforms. The exact words used, I be.
lieve, were "that we will give you re-
FORMS which would be taken to
mean that we will get reforms as a
Gift from some superior race of men,
and might not ourselves be allowed
to participate in the making of re-
forms. The Pioneer Press in it's last
issue tells piteous tale of the gener-
al unrest among the working class,
but asserts that if the farmers get a
good crop and good price for their
produce general content will again
reign supreme; which only goes to
show that there is some rottenness
somewhere that may be covered up
by good crops and good prices.
