TIE people of Salina have passed

TIE people of Salina have passed
resolutions, thanking Senators In
gals and Plumb and Congressman
Anderson. for their success in Sc
curing a $4,000 federal building for
the above mentioned city. Thus do
those once placed in Office make
themselves solid with. and at the
expense of, the people. Salina
needs public building Of that sort
about as much as a wagon does a
fifth wheel. Enterprise, like char
ity should first begin at home before
asking donations from the govern
ment. Salina, one of the best
cities on the road and the capital of
one of the best counties in the
state hasn't a decent county build
ing of its own, but of course there
is a difference between paying for
your own improvements and having
them paid for by the government.
We don't blame Salina, but we do
object to the indiscriminate appro-
priations that are being made at the
general expense of the people and
for the benefit of privileged few.
We object to a policy that allows
our senators and representatives to
make needless appropriations of
large sums of money for the princi-
pal purpose, apparently. of securing
reelection. We have no especial
fault to find with our senators and
representatives for trying to get
their share for their own state, so
long as the general government
foots the bill. and We pay our share,
but we do earnestly protest against
reducing the surplus in the treas
nry in such an unjust and inequitable
manner. We say make the distri-
button to the people, by means Of
pensions, to the old soldiers. to
whom we are indebted for a federal
government and United States
treasury. By so doing the soldier
himself, who most of all deserves it,
Is directly benefited and every mem

that he be an Alliance man. Let
the same rules govern as in the cleo
ton of congressman. Select the
man that is likely to do the most
for US. Let us hope that in these
two instances, at least, that this
much of the millennium has come,
that the office Will seek the man
and not the man the Office. Any
man that is loyal to our interests
will submit and appreciate the hon
or. As an Alliance let US try not to
monopolize all of the offices. Re
member that we do not approve of
monopolies. As an Alliance let us
strive to keep out of personal mat
ters as much as possible. The Al
lance was organized for a higher
and nobler purpose than the pulling
down or lifting up of any man. As
an Alliance, let it alone, as indiyid-

The Alliance and County Politics.

The following is an extract from
an address delivered by E. D.
Wheeler to the Wa-Keeney Sub
Alliance. We publish it for the
reason that we presume it reflects
the Alliance sentiment upon the
subject treated of. 1--WE consider
this an auspicious time to briefly
discuss county politics as connected
with the Alliance. 1t is well
known fact that we wish to send a
man from this district to represent
US in congress. We consider that
our interests demand it. Should it
be developed that we are master of
the situation, as we NAV be if every
one does his duty, we will very like
ly have a lot Of candidates who have
a very strong affection for the poor
farmer. Let us not be easily deceiv-
ed. Can the leopard change his
spots, or the Egyptian his skim
Let us try and send a man whose
previous life gives evidence that his
heart, at least is right, and whose
best efforts Will be made in our be-
half. 4 large majority of US did
not join to honor any particular
candidate. The man should be only
a means to an end. Let Us select
the best man we have and not be
guided by individual preferences. I
believe it Is generally understood
that Alliance men should be sent
there who are not pledged aud not
instructed, then all will be in condi-
ton to unite on the best man we
can find for our use and stand as a
unit. It IS also no secret that we
wish to name the next representa-
tive to the state legislature. and

Meeting of the Presbytery Of Osborne.
WA-KEENEY, kan, April Is.

WA-KEENEY, Kap., April IS.
The Presbyt terry of Osborne which
convened in our midst last Thurs
day, held a very interesting and
harmonious session.
Aside from the routine work, the
chief matter Of interest coming be-
fore the body, was the much talked
Of and written about overture Of
the general assembly on the revis-
ion Of the confession of faith.
This Presbytery was almost unit
against revision. The only voice
being raised in its favor being that
of our home pastor, and he and one
other, only, voted for it, although
six, of the eight Presbyteries Of
Kansas have gone on record in favor
Of it.
The devotional exercises and re-
ligious services in connection with
the meeting Of Presbytery were all
OF high order and were exceeding
ly interesting.
The retiring moderator, Bro.
Bowl, Of HOxie, gave US a good and
practical sermon Thursday evening.
On Friday evening a popular
meeting was had under the auspices
of the Ladies Presbyterial Mission
airy society. Mrs. Blair, its secreta-
ry presented their report and made a
very interesting talk in connection
Herewith to which very earnest at
tention was given by all present.
Good speeches were made by Bros.
Bracken, of Phillipsburg, Aller, of
Norton and Wilson, now, also of
Norton.
On Saturday evening Bro. VIII
son, the worthy stated clerk preached
an interesting sermon from the text,
Fear not little flock, forit is your
Fathers good pleasure to give you
the kingdom" Luke, 1872.
On Sunday morning good au-
dience was present i'll the Preshyte-
rian church to listen to a splendid
sermon by the moderator, Bro. At
kinson, Of Hill City. In the after
noon at three o'clock a goodly num-
Der sat down together to celebrate
the sacrament OF the Lords supper.
This was solemn and interesting.
The service was conducted by
Father Batchelder, of Osborne. and
Bro Bracken and several of the
visiting elders. All went away feel
ing that it was good to have been
there In the evening very earn
est and able discourse was listened
to by good and highly interested
audience, preached by Bro. Phipps,
of 0berlin. Thus closed a real
feast of good things to the people
of our little town and community.
All the visiting brethren were
loud in their praise of our town and
people and the very warm hospital
ity shown them. They were lavish
in their praise of our little church
and almost gushing in their praise
of the music rendered by the choir.
The NJ. Z. church was filed in
the morning by Bro. Bracken and
in the evening by Bro. Liddell.
We understand all present were
pleased and edited on both occa-
sions. The Baptist pulpit was fill
ed by Bro. Mead with great accept
ance in the morning. No service
in the evening.
