great blunders within a year.

President Polk, of North Carolina,
one of the most prominent anti
monopoly men of the age, and a.
grand public speaker, will come to.
Minnesota soon. We have received
a second letter so stating, and the
date will be fixed upon by our next
issue. Just where to locate his ad-
dress has not yet been determined,
but as all the alliance workers should
meet him, it must be central. Pres't
Polk can spend but one day in the
state, and one day each in South
and North Dakota. The great Ma
tional Alliance and Industrial Union,
of which he is the head, is developing
a tremendous power. 1t captured
the Alabama State Convention, few
days ago, and turned it over to the
farmer, body and soul.

A Touch of Anarchy.

Chicago has been startled again by
a slight exhibition on the part OF her
slumbering anarchists There was
an attempt to blow up the monu-
ment to the memory OF the police
who were destroyed by the anar-
chists at the Haymarket meeting
years ago.
No one can regret the rise OF an
archy more than the farmer or our
selves. The awful scenes to which we
are rapidly descending are such as to
make any good man or just man
shudder. There can be no justitica-
tion for the inhuman and beastly
orgies of wickedness which wait upon
the new century-now so close upon
us. Everyone who has a grain OF
sense knows that anarchy means
lawlessness-and every man knows
that lawlessness of the rich man and
the politician are among the stupen-
dous crimes of the age in which we
dwell.
The debauched legislator, who
takes his bribe in secret, does not
stand forth as the anarchist alone.
But the mayors OF our cities and vii
lages-who openly declare that they
do not enforce laws because the
wicked element wont stand it-are
writing their names in crimson blood
across the sky OF an early tomorrow
sLAW-DEFYING ANARCHISTS y
What has Chicago to say for her
self-a city whose depraved poll
ticians have put criminals, even to
muraerers, in her aldermanic coun-
Gil, and made dictator-at-large o1
the vile prince OF gamblers and male
prostitutes, Mike Mcdonald. Even
her public press have blown to the
winds the names, numbers, location
size and character of her countless
gambling hells, and cried upon the
dirty scoundrels who rule the city tC
remove them-and they dare not!
Finally, one of her daily papers
The Chicago Daily News-gets out
warrants and invades some of these
gambling hells-just to show the vii
lain who rules as Mayor that it WAS
easy enough to act if he wanted to!
What can Chicago say against the
anarchist-the suffering basement
poor-when her rich and powerful
"pillars'' are moth-blown and worm
eaten with crime and perjury!
Who cares for law in this country
when they are strong enough tc
evade it? What law will hold a
plutocrat to Justice? What is the
difference between a faro-bank and
the Board of Trade? Who will de
fine the difference between a brave
burglar who takes his life in his
hand, and the sneak who waters his
bogus stock, takes 20 per cent. a
year-or cheats his constituents by
voting for caucus instead of his
district?
What gradations of villainy there
are-one fights to fill an empty
stomach-another concocts schemes
of robbery amid the fumes of cham.
paign and havana.
Anarchy is wrong-awfully wrong
and we say that the vile wretches
who are engaged in it under silk hats
and in lavender breeches, ought to
be hung-hung legally and quickly.

The following, from the Mankato
Register, is certainly in the right
spirit. The facts have been given,
and the state OF Minnesota is al
most a unit on the questions in
volved. The Register is certainly
very moderate IN it's response to our
criticisms
We must say to the GREAT WEST
that the S'Austin Hail Co." knew
nothing directly or indirectly about
the article we prepared and to which
the GREAT WEST referred at length,
although proving nothing serious
against that company. Now we want
to say this to the GREAT WEST !:
That if the so-called "Austin Ins.
Co." or Capt. Haigh or anybody else
concerning that company are as cor
rupt as the insinuations of the G. w.
would lead one to think the Journal
wants to know it, and will, with the
desire to do our duty to the farmers
of our section of the State, give wide
publicity to the specific charges if
founded upon facts. There are great
questions at issue which cannot con-
sistently be jeopardized by internal
dissension in the ranks of alliance
workers. The enemies smile COM
placently upon the scene thus pre-
sented. These are days when true al
lance men are needed. No dough-
faced ones wanted, but true courage
GUS spirits who will do their duty,
and who are liberal and broad-mind-
ed enough to overlook the errors in
judgment, if any, committed by their
co-laborers in the important work of
devising and executing plans for the
betterment of industrial classes.
This is the grand work before us.
Let us not be unduly Influenced.

Messrs Falls & Co., write us that
such an implication is a great in
justice and hardship to them-an i'm
putation of a serious nature. And,
in fact, upon consideration, their
feelings upon the matter are fully
justified. For while it is true that
these transactions are the routine
method of transacting the honorable
skin-game of brokerage in Chicago,
We know nothing whatever of this
firm-and an imputation without
knowledge is wrong And in full
sense of the injustice liable in such
matter we request our readers not to
apply our editorial of two weeks
since to this firm. Messrs. Falls
writes us a courteous letter-with
one exception-the implication to
our worthy Lac qui Parle friend that
we do not understand the grain
trade. While Minneapolis may have
some peculiar features-and she
surely has-the heavy dealers on
on that Board ought to realize that
the GREAT WEST knows considerable
about it. While we feel honored by
making denial of any personal in
tent to our structures, the subject
matter, from a general standpoint,
is reiterated. The scheme of making
returns at different days, and even
at differing hours of the day, is SO
common to the wheat broker that
nothing but the sight OF Gods
throne rolled out on big black
cloud could arouse the average
wheat operator to a sense OF his
moral attitude. If this is not COM
mon in Minneapolis it is common in
Chicago, and the former city is that
much more virtuous. But with the
picture of that benign Miller's Associ-
alton, and "grade no No. / hard
wheat under any circumstances" be-
fore us, we don't take much stock in
the virtue of Minneapolis.
