terests, and still try to take the
stand OF an advisor by slandering a
man OF whom he is not worthy to
wipe the dust from his feet. In fact,
1T seems strange that scullions and
political suckers can carry the audac-
lty to criticise eminence. There NAV
be other men in the state that would
be an honor to the organization, but,
think Mr.. Donnelly is entitled to it
first. Let it be as it will, we have no
use for R. J. Hall & Co.
Our Alliance has taken vote some
time ago as to a probable candidate
and Mr.. D. was the unanimous choice
OF this Alliance, and we will take
steps to have a delegate to the meet
ing solid for the Sage; anu we hope
to secure his election to the presi-
dency, SO that we can have the
means OF calling out the worst of the
suckers that are hanging around st.
Paul to pull at the bankers teat.
Our Alliance admires the stand
that the G. w. has taken in exposing
all frauds. We fully realize that had
it not been for the G. W. we would
not know an iota of the corruptions
and frauds that have been exposed.
You are oppressed on all sides, but
cheer up-your blows count.
The best wishes of this Alliance to

them. PRESIDENT,

EDITOR GREAT WEST:

V1HEAI w ESI.
As our annual state meeting ap-
proaches, think it is the duty of
every armermember of the Alliance
to take an active part in it's delibera-
tions, especially SO when our cause is
assailed by all the powers of hell on
earth to divert the intentions of the
members from the right course.
I have been a constant reader of
the St. Paul Globe since 1 came to
this country, because it admonishes
OF a principle which have admired
tit being about the same as that of
the alliance), but 10! where are to be
found the number of men to carry on
the principles. They are few and far
apart, because the democratic plut-
ocracy, is no better than the repub-
lican. We must therefore look else
where for redress.
But when the old Globe came out
as it did against Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly, going so far as to call on the
Alliance members to use their infu-
ence to defeat him for president OF
the State Alliance, think it is high
time to cry halt! for what business
has the Globe to NEEDLE with the
Alliance candidates? Can the Globe
point out anything that Mr.. Don
nelly has done for the Alliance that
was unconstitutional?
The Globe appears to advocate the
election of R. j. Hall, the present in
cumbent. Now, I would say, COM
pare the constitutional work of the
two men. l know something of the
latter. I have attended an Alliance
senatorial convention of the Forty
ninth district, in which R. J. Hall
was a dictator. Well, I do not know
whether you would call it conven-
ton or not, for the nominations
were made before the convention as
called. Ask Hall what means were
used to make the nominations? But
thanks be to the Almighty, and the
people-his colleague was defeated
by the people November 4th. and it
is the earnest desire of the Alliance
members of the Bloody Fifth" that
Hall be buried under such a pyramid

Ornaments of the swell Esouimou,

At any time from Ii to 81 years of age
the male natives have their lower lips
pierced under each corner of the mouth for
labrets. When the incision is first made
sharp pointed pieces of ivory are put in.
After the wound heals the hole is gradu-
ally stretched to half an inch in diameter.
Some of the poorer natives wear labrets
made from camel coal, ivory, common
gravel and glass shoppers obtained from
ships, which they shape for the purpose.
All who can obtain them have agate ones.
Some of the girls have their ears pierced
just back of the lobe, where it Is thinnest.
They wear ivory earrings, some of which
are carved with plain figures, while others
have setting of turquois. Some of them
have string of beads, extending from one
earring to the other, suspended under the
throat. Tattooing the chin among the
women Is general, and it is kept up. so
they say, because it has always been the
custom. At the age of one narrow per-
pendicular line is drawn down the center
of the chin, powdered charcoal being used
in coloring. At about 12 years of age the
line is broadened to half an inch, and n
narrow line drawn parallel to it on each
side (Alaska) Letter

One of the most remarkable cases of
close listed stinginess ever known has lust
been brought to light in Salem, Ills. 1t is
unnecessary to name the parties, but the
story as vouched for by several citizens of
this place is as follows:
farmer residing near here, worth from
5000 to $4,000, not long since had broth
er in the neighborhood who was very sick.
The attending physician requested that the
sick man be given small quantities of lem
onade. The wealthy brother was dis
patched to town to get some lemons. He
went to leading grocery store and pur-
chesed three for ten cents. That night the
sick brother died, and only one of the lem
ons had been used.
The day after the funeral the wealthy
brother took the two remaining lemons
back to the merchant and said as his
brother had died before using all of them
he had no further use for tlrem and he de-
manded six cents for the two returned
The merchant refused to take the lemons
back and the miserly old fellow went away

AN IMPRESSION.

A cypress dark against the blue,
That deepens up TO such hue
As never painter dared and drew:
A marble shaft that stands alone
Above wreck Of sculptured stone
With gray green aloes overgrown;
A hillside scored with hollow veins
Through age long wash of summer rains
As purple as with vintage stains;
And rocks that while the hours run
Show all the jewels, one by one,
For pastime of the summer sun:
A crescent sail upon the sea
So calm and fair and ripple free
You wonder storms can ever be;
A shore with deep indeuted bays,
And Ger the cleaning waterways
a glimpse of islands in the haze;
face hronze0 dara 90 red and gold
With mountain eyes that seem To hold
The freshness of the world of old;
shepherds \ crook, a coat of fleece
grazing tiock-the sense OF peace,
The long, sweet silence this is Greece!

TIME was when the New York Nation
was a mouth-piece of the Republican party,
and endorsed any iniquity that party saw
fit 10 perpetrate. But the Nation has evil
IDENTITY seen the error Of its way, and refuses
TO go any farther with the party whose rev.
dictionary methods promise to destroy both
the Republic and the nation. Now that
paper sounds note of warning, as fol-
lows:
''Since the new rules were adopted in the
House, the caucus, the lash, and the gag
have been substituted for debate and DELHI
Grafton 10 a rather alarming extent. If
things 60 on as they are now going, there
will soon he no House Of Representatives
left, but merely Speaker, a caucus and a
few chairmen OF committees. All bills will
be passed by counting a quorum the
minority sitting speechless and voiceless.
The good understanding which goes so far to
make representative institutions workable
will be gone-if indeed 1t js not already
gone. 1t is best, we think, that
Speaker Reeds system should be carried
out, so that all parties may know what Of
good or evil there Is In 1t. The next meas
ure to come before the caucus will be the
Federal election law, and the next after
that will be, perhaps, the Pacific Railroad
funding bill. Each time that the lash and
the gag are applied there will be residuum
OF discomfort In the ranks Of the majority.
When this residuum becomes sufficiently
large and sufficiently exasperated, the eau
Gus yoke will be thrown off, or the people
may at the coming election throw out the
lashers and gaggers at one bounce. This
Is the result most likely TO follow"
