The Alliance Is Growing.

The cotton Punt says: The
State President and State Organizer
finished their tour of the State on
last Saturday, their last meeting
being held at Anderson, and returned
to their homes the first of this week,
and in due course of time the results
of their observations and invcstiga-
tions will be reported at length in
the columns of the cotton Plunt.
While not intending to anticipate
the reports of these officials, we take
the liberty of saying that they will
show the order to be in first rate con
dition in every section Of the State.
They have conferred with represent
tatiycs of the order in nearly every
county, and with only two exceptions
the most cheerful and hopeful
accounts were received. The brcth-
ren generally are in the best of
spirits and are more enthusiastic
than at any time in the history of the
order in this State.
The results of cooperation in
buying supplies last year gave abund-
ant satisfaction, and saved tens of
thousands of dollars to the members,
and the prospects arc that even
greater savings will be made the
present year.
The opposition Of merchants and
agents of manufacturing concerns
with which the order was confronted
Il year ago, and which in some coun-
ties enScndcrcd bitterness and i'll
feeling between the farmers and
themselves, has in great measure
subsidized. With few exceptions, the
merchants and agents in towns and
cities arc now willing, and in some
cases seem anxious, to secure tho
trade Of the members, and cvi-
IDENTIFY hcttcr understand the pur-
poses Of the order.
The cooperative efforts of the
farmers are no longer regarded as II
blow at the Legitimate mercantile
interests of the country, and the
grim spectre of disaster and financial
ruin which so many business men
foresaw resulting from the move
ment has proven to be only the fruit
Of wild imaginings. The order has
stood the test of one year with great
credit to itself, and this fact has
given confidence in its methods.
We have yet to hear of single
agent Of the order, or Of single
sub-Alliancc in the State, which has
failed to meet honest obligations.
The organization is gaining in
material strength every day, and is
proving Il blessing to every interest
f"stcrcd by our people. 1t is build
ing up agriculture, the great creative
industry Of our State, and which
everybody recognizes as the one on
which all others depend.

An Illuminated Lecture on Holland by
Prof. Farrar to the Monday Club.

Prof. Farrar to the Monday Club.
Holland. that celebrated country of
Europe situated under the banks of
the sea, has been the subject Of the
writer's work by the Monday Club, an
organization composed of prominent
ladies of Ottawa who come together
to study geography, history and art
in general. There is hardly child
who has been in school four or five
years but knows something about llOl-
lands dykes, which are used to keep
the sea off the land, and every reader
used in the public schools contains one
or more stories relating to these fam
Gus water barriers. 1t is subject
that never grows old. and when to the
pecularitieS Of the country itself is
combined study of its history, its
literature, and its art, Holland be-
comes fascinating.
Holland" was the subject Of lee
ture delivered under the auspices Of the
Monday Club. to that club and a limit
ed number Of friends Friday .eycn'g at
the residence of Mrs. Douglass Hape-
man. by Prof. Charles 5. Farrar, of
Chicago. Each member Of the club
it is needless to say the ajOrity Of in
vited guests accepted with pleasure.
The east parlOr was used as lecture
room. and seats We're furnished for one
hundred guests, Mrs. Hopeman re-
ceived the guests. and at 5 o'clock
Prof. Farrar commenced his talk.
His remarks were illustrated by a
series of one hundred or more views of
very high order thrown upon a can
vasS. The more prominent character
iSticS of each view We're explained
thoroughly by the professor. who is
quite a brilliant talker. brief and con-
else in his statements, and very par
ticular and exact in drawing conclu-
SiOnS.
Only the most meager outline Of his
lecture can be giyen-a sort of running
line of the topics dwelt upon. from
which the reader can gather an idea
of the scope Of his matter. when they
imagine the details filed in and illus
trated with the many beautiful views.
The manners, customs and habits of
the people of Holland, he said, vary
according to locality. For instance,
in north HOLLAND customs are in
vogue which are not known in south
Holland. and vlca versa. The cities
are very crowded and there is no such
thing as a public park or open space of
any kind in the heart of a city. Liver
pool was not considered city until a
cathedral had been erected. and the
same rule applies to cities in Holland,
The Ottawa free trader., 1890-06-21

a belfry Is essential To a city. The
people care most for making Holland
rich. The peculiar architecture stamps
Hollanders as an original people. The
exterior OF all great buildings Is COW
cred with inches in which are set stat
ues Of their great men. Painters and
poets get more prominence than sol
dierS and heroes. Art expression was
not in religious lines, they devoted
their time TO making statues of
great men Of the world. There were
no pictures in the churches. The far
mers own the villas in which are dis
played the most beautiful of natures
productions. The people are very kind,
respectful, and hospitable and live by
| farming and fishing. Their dress is
simple yet neat. and cleanliness is a
universal custom with the Dutch.
Il struggle and rise again and EN-
erge,n is Il motto long used by the
Dutch, and represents their struggle
with the sea.
Prof. Farrar continued at some
length on this subject, and the audi
ence We're highly pleased with his re-
marks. The views were especially
| fine.
After the lecture refreshments We're
served in the large dining-room, after
which. at about ii o'clock. the guests
diSbursed for their homes delighted
with the evening 5 entertainment.
The Ottawa free trader., 1890-06-21

The suggestion was made at the late
Democratic county convention and
comes to mind again in view of the
Republican convention thiSafternoon;
and that is. instead of calling con-
vention> to meet at 1880 or 300 o'clock
p. m. and actually beginning work
one-half to three-quarterS of an hour
later, why not call them at II o'clock
a. M? The temporary organization
can then be made and the committee
OH credentials appointed, who can 90
to work at once. while the convention
itself may adjourn. AT o'clock the
committee is all ready to report and
the business of the convention will
proceed without holding the delegates
in a sweat-boX while the committee on
credentials do their hours work in a
still smaller and more intOlerable box
of the same kind intensified. Such an
arrangement would be infinitely more
comfortable all around and not with
out advantages in other ways.
