What is known as the northern ALI

secret alliance that has been extern
sively organized in the northwestern
states. The secret order had it's ORR
gin in Texas, but has spread over the
entire south and extended into the
northern states This became very
strong in Kansas prior TO the meeting
Of the supreme council at st. Louis

Is it possible FOR the party press to

corrected the statement going che
rounds Of the press that eleven Coun-

endorsing Ingalls,. Several papers in
referring to this correction refer to
the editor Of The ADVOCATE as score

that The wealth Of the nation ia being
rapidly absorbed by few men They
know thatwhile immenseandunwiel
fortunes are being accumulated in the
hands Of favored few, poverty is
rapidly enslaving the masses. They
know, also, that the policy which has
produced these conditions is the re-
suit Of one Of the most damnable con
spiracies recorded in the annals of
time; and they know that we know
them to be parties TO this conspiracy.
They have been petitloned TO redress
these wrongs, and our Legislative COM
mittee in the city Of Washington has
been constantly pressing them to en-
act some legislation for the relief Of
the people, How have they respond
cd to these petitions, and these cries
for reliefY Week after week, and
month after month have passed in
the consideration Of every imaginable
question except such questions as re-
lates to tho welfare Of the masses.
They have made appropriations for
the erection Of monuments to the
heroic dead, while they are deaf to
the appeals Of the heroic living. They
have had ample time to consider prop
ositlons for the construction Of DOW
erful navy, to cost millions Of wealth,
to provide against the attacks Of inn
aginable foes from without, while tho
foes from within have continued un-
molested to prey upon the interests
OF their constituents They have
considered projects for the establish
ment Of bathing places upon the sea-
coast, whore the wealthy may luxuri-
ate and rest from the active cares
Of life during the heated term,
but they have forgotten the
anxieties and cares Of the sons
and daughters Of toll who are strug-
Cling against fate in the fields and
shops all over the land. During all
these months Of weary waiting by the
people, during which time these
naughty nabobs, who are unable to
exc out an existence upon salary Of
$4,000 per year, and who have been
drinking iced lemonade and apolli-
naris, and bathing their precious
bodies in bay rum and edu de cologne
at government expense, have not yet
found time to seriously consider a
single proposition having for its OBJ
iect the relief Of the industrial inter
ests Of the people. The books show
that during the months of July and
August, 1888, when congress was in
session, the lemons, sugar and apoli-
naris used by the senate alone cost
the government $483.42, and the ice
used during the same period 5000.
While thus luxuriating at the peoples
expense, they have time to legislate
only in the interests of the money

highest commendation. The people
Of Kansas have, on more than one oc-
casion, demonstrated their indomita-
bic pluck and courage in the face OF
adverse circumstances, and II is the
possession Of these qualities in 80
large n degree that inspires hope in
the ultimate success OF the present
struggle
Our brother says: Immediately

Right at this point our brothers
education must begin, Why did
farm produce bring fabulous prices,
and all kinds Of stock about all a man
chose to ask for il, at this timer Sim
ply because money was plenty and Ia
boring men were all employed at
good wages. Everybody had money
to buy all the necessities Of life.
Every branch Of industry was pros
porous. Every mandatory in the
land was pushed TO It's fullest capacity,
and every product Of every industry
found n ready market at n fair mar
gin Of profit Forced idleness was
unknown, and never in the history OF
America did so universal prosperity
prevail. We had then about $50 per
capita in circulation. To-day, with
an increased business and far greater
necessities we have less than $40.
Who is responsible for thisl Have not
our Legislators inaugurated and main
tanned a persistent policy Of ContrOc-
tion, whereby every industry in the
land has suffered and only bankers
and bondholders have profted2 Is
not labor in enforced idleness, our
country filed with tramps, and
the great agricultural interests Of
the entire nation bankrupted as a re-
suit Of this suicidal policy7 Has any
class Of American citizens profted by
this policy except bankers, bondhold-
ers and their hired mercenaries and
subsidized servants?
This writer expressed the most sug-
gestive truth to be found in his entire
communication when he said: eve
have the same kind of congressional
material now we had eight or ten
years ago when everything was -four
ishing with the farmer" This is a
most lamentable truth. The policy
inaugurated by our Legislators during
and Immediately after the war, has
been perpetuated by their successors
Notwithstanding the fact that under
it every industry has languished and
every interest of the masses Of the
people has been sacrificed to the avar-
ice and greed of the money lords of

on MAKER.
In the protracted struggle OF electing
a United States Senator % succeed
james M. Harvey In 1877, the ballOtlng
lasted through eight days, and Preston
b. Plumb was chosen on the sixteenth
ballot, having started with twenty -four
and left of with elghty-nlne votes. Mr..
Hallowell voted for the railroad attorney
candidate, Theodore O. Sears, on fifteen
ballots and finally for David 8. Lowe.
on the day Of The election he offered the
following resolution and moved its
adoption; but II was laid on the table by
a vote Of yeas, S8; nays, 30.
Resolved, That the rule Of this Joint COnven-
iiOn, which preCluded nominations and explAna-
lions Of votes, be and the sumo II hereby re-
Dealed.

Unless II be William J. Buchan, OF
WYandotte county, John James Ingalls,
has no more servile following in Kansas
than that given by James r. Hallowell
II was intimated TO George r. Peck that
the position OF United States district at
torney was a prime necessity for Hal
lowell In order that Ingalls, might make
his calling and second election sure,
through Hallowolps vote and influence.
The examination Of the testimony OF
Hallowell given In the investigation Of
Ingalls, second election, might prove
somewhat interesting reading 10 the
average good citizen and vOterln Kansas.
Republican candidates for Congress-
men in Kansas for 1890, now stand,
Webb McNall, Harrison Kelley and
James r. HallOwell, all anxious TO obey
the behests Of Ingalls,, and Anderson,
Funston, Morrill, and Perkins, all stand
ready TO join this procession, for that
representative Of Imperialism --- John
James Ingalls,. II may be well. Let
the people see with their eyes and hear

farmer in the Kansas legislature at any
time Of It's history as territory or state,
has ever introduced a bill 80 thoroughly
wanting In justice, form and Comellness
as was HallOwells dog law OF 1875. II
was condemned and ridiculed by county
clerks and by commissioners throughout
Kansas, and II was labeled as the work
Of an ignOrant, presumptuOus, Legislative
nInCompoOp. And il fell to the lot Of
two such statesmen as Samuel j. Craw-
ford and James II. HalloWell TO run
against each other for Congressman-at-
large in Kansas In 1878, when every
farmer knew thAtthere SOGS no such Office
to dH IN Kansas. And yet the poor, old,
stupid Capital Is just about bright
enough TO toll its readers that "HAllOwell
never.took his seat, being ruled out by a
democratic majority" These POLITICAL
wiseacres seemed to forget that a Con
gresslonal Apportionment for a state
lasted through a decade Of years.

in tho following suggestions Of the
Reno Gazette:
"In view OF the fact that q Consti-
t%ut!onal Convention seems almost n
necessity, would it not be q good idea
to call n public meeting in each coun.
ty in this State and select delegates
composed Of the leading men OF both
parties, on tho same basis that tho
Silver Convention selected delegates,
to meet say at Reno during Fair
week, to discuss tho public needs?
All the State officers could DO invited
to attend aud give their views, and in
that way We could ascertain just what
is for the best. After the subject has
been thoroughly discussed some plan
of action can be adopted, and, if
found necessary, n convention can DO

would be valuable in framing a now

ABOUT ALARM CLOCKS.

According to an Old Watch Maker Thoy
Can Not 10 Depended On.
bly advice to those who find It nee
essary to rise early is. do not depend
on q single alarm clock. The human
mind Is 80 constituted that it soon be-
comes accustomed TO oft repeated
sounds. and while l am not prepared
10 say That an alarm clock will not bo
heard, / II safely predict that 1t will
not long be needed by its owner.
There are people whose habits are
30 regular that they habitually awake
nbout ths time their alarms are
sprung. They would be surprised
into wakefulness II their alarms failed
to net, and it Is quite probable that
they would awake ut about the Same
time without the use of such q clock.
II tho tine and character Of tho sound
OF IN alarm clock could be changed
once n week, the result would be very
different One would then have no
opportunity to acquire the familiarity
which breeds contempt
I once sold an alarm clock to n
friend whose irregular hours rendered
1t difficult for him to rise in timo for
business. For q few days he was de-
lighted with his purchase. One day
he entered my store md declared that
1t no longer alarmed him at tho hour
for which he set 1t. He asserted thut
he was sure the time-piece was out OF
order. gave him another clock with
q bell OF a different tone, md told him
to sot 1t q quarter earlier than his
own, so no would be awake ut the
hour Of tho latter's alarm. He did so,
and u week lntor informed me thatthe
clock l had sold him faithfully per.
formed Its duty every morning. Ha.
also purchased tho clock I had lent
him. and by alternating them aud
sometimes using both together man
