The Watch.

1t has leaked out the past week
that there was an object in Scheffel 8
giving that watch to Lathrop-and
on the part of the men who Clipped
in. Lathrop was fully posted as to
the combinations made with the old
party leaders, theAeekly meetings at
Scheffer's, and the manipulation Of
that labor delegation. The heads of
the Committee were kept together
closely to devise some escape from
exposure through him if they could
not save him-so the scheme of get
ting a filled-case gold watch, calling
it $40 daisy, and having a genuine
presentation. Itwas carried through
successfully. This may account for
some other parties standing by the
old man.

Good reports for the cause are
coming in from the state-especially
as regards the legislative and con-
gressional tickets. The farmers look
upon both the old parties as merely
representing two wings OF the rail-
road interest. There is no difference
between them. Republicans try to
scare alliance men back into the
party by crying out democratic

RESOLUTIONS.
Z WHEREAS, in our belief, r. J. Hall,
Pre- sident of the State Alliance, has
proved himself to be a traitor to the
alliance cause by his insults heaped
upon the Hon. 1gnatlus Donnelly,
Father and inspirator of the Mime
sofa State Alliance, and upon the
GREAT WEST, the only true alliance
journal published in the State.
And whereas, we believe him to be
the cause of making our State Secre-
tary a, defaulter by advi, ing him to
use alliance funds as he needed them :;
And whereas, he has shown himself
unfit to- be President of the State Al
lance by the appointment Of bood.

THEREFORE, be it Resolved that this
alliance, in Justice to itself and the
best interest of the organization at
large, demand of the Executive Com

office, and the appointment of some
one more competent to the high Of

It Will Make Halls Head Ache.
Here is the second set of resolu-
tions demanding Halls resignation
from the presidency of the Alliance.
We publish both the letter and the
resolutions:
THE LETTER.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
L enclose you copy of resolutions
which were unanimously passed at
our last meeting, the 10th inst, and
will say we had very enthusiastic
meeting, and fairly we'll attended con-
sidering the busy season of year.
Two threshing crews stopped opera
tions to attend the meeting. At our
July meeting we raised $40 or $12
for the campaign fund, with fair
prospects OF increasing the amount
to $25 or $50, but since learning the
makeup of the Campaign Committee
we have decided not to send the
money. Our secretary was instruc-
ted by unanimous vote at our
meeting on the 18th inst, to hold all
such monies until the Campaign
Committee was composed of more
ture alliance men. Parties have been
canvassing here for the Daily News,
but as far as | have been able to as
certain have only succeeded in get
ting one subscriber in our alliance.
We have no use for such political
sheets in our alliance The GREAT
WEST is the paper for alliance men
to read. There is more truth and
common sense in one issue of the
GREAT WEST than has been pub
lished in the Daily News since it came
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-09-26

A correspondent asks us what is
the name of our party. We cannot
answer-there never has been any Of
fetal publication Of a name since the
first long one. 1t has been twice
changed in the past six weeks, but
we are ignorant of the present title.
1t was changed to accommodate the
Australian law, we understand.
Some Of the other states adopt the
name "Independent''-a in Dakota.
The title Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union" IS a fraud, as this
state has never united with that
great body. Mr.. Sprague fought
against it at the great St. Louis Con-
vention for purely political reasons.
We are in hopes that the Alliance will
yet Join their brethren.
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-09-26

Some may wonder why paper or
a radical element cannot make as
strong a fight without a committee
as with. The reasons are multiple.
First, Lathrop refused us addresses
of alliances and the material that
goes with it. Then the Campaign
Secretary gets all the official routine
of work to be done. Speakers are
sent, (or not rather, expenses paid,
advertising done, notices mailed, al
lance literature sent out, correspon-
dence carried on-as secretly with
held from the real workers, as though
we had been destroying angels. Even
nominations and appointments are
withheld-now is any other paper
them? There must be a
no general work!

THE GROWING OF A KING

BUILD high the throne for the mighty one,
And gild it DER with gold;
With subtle powers adorn with flowers,
It's legs with flags enfold
With silken stars, and crimson bars,
Bedeck the gaudy thing
Let Oriflamme surround the frame
Made gorgeous for King!
Call up the crowd to cry aloud;
Well dedicate this chair
With song and shout, and revel rout,
And highfalutin' prayer.
Give Shylock place-to say sweet Grace
And, on the weather side,
The money-ring to bribe the King
Our Master and Our Pride!
Hand o er the Sword, and storied Word,
OF patriot sires now dead,
To bankers tools and purchased fools
From Hell's dominions fled!

Tune up, We mortgaged wight!
Come toiling men, from bog and fen.
Come victims of the blight
Lift voices high-our purses dry!
With collar on our neck
Well stand like slaves on patriot graves,
To sing our country's wreck
Well crown our King of the Party Ring!
All hail to thee! To thee!
The sceptre take-let hayseeds quake.

STRANGE CONSEQUENCES.
Superstitions Attaching TO the Houses

The following history of the house
now occupied by Secretary Blaine and
the site of the Tracy residence is

come to Mr.. Blaine when he moved
into his present house. | do not know
but the history of this house has been
given too frequently of late to permit
its repetition, but | will venture an old
story as briefly as possible. 1t was
the clubhouse in front of which
General Sickles shot Barton Key,
and into which Key was taken
to die. 1t was the house in which Sec
rotary Seward and his son Frederick
were almost assassinated the night
Booth shot President Lincoln. 1t be-

work, which failed instead of meeting
with an easy success, until IL was too
late to partake of that lunch.

haunted was as conclusive as anything
of that kind can be. The phenomena
were testified to by Messrs. Pakenham
and Robertson, secretaries of the Eng

one summer. corroborated in an inter
teresting manner by servant of the
family of the previous tenants, and by
neighbors, whom / know very well,

to those facts. Mr. Pakenham's story

reading.
The gentleman who reduced the
account to writing and the gentleman
for whom it was done, and to whom il
was sent, are friends of mine, and made
at the time an investigation of the case

WAR ON THE HEBREWS.
It'll at Last Arousing Them to De-
fensive Organization.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The unrelentng war
fare against the Hebrew race in Russia and
the intermittent anti-Semitic crusade In
Germany and other countries have led to
proposals for a meeting of prominent and
representative European Jews, to which it
that race will also be invited
at Amsterdam or some other
city in a small nationality in the course of
the coming summer. The principal meas
ure to be discussed will undoubtedly be
the raising of fund to be devoted to the
protection of their brethren from the
prosecutions and inviduous distinctions to
which they are now subjected in the ma
iority of countries throughout the world,
Baron Hirsch has promised to attend
such congress, If it takes place. and 1t is
confidently said that the storm of indigna-
tion aroused by his famous pamphlet of
last year, wherein he practically urged the
assimilation of the Jews with the people
among whom they dwell has convinced
him that the spirit of the race is almost at
present subdued.
This being the case, he is of the opinion
that the only course is for the Jews to fight
in every possible manner for their rights,
using largely the press and persistent per-
sonal appeals to persons exalted by position
and reputed for justice and humanity.
The apparently implacable attitude of
Russia toward the Hebrew race has led to
enormous losses among the shopkeepers
and money-lenders in the different prov
inces, where the debtors openly defy
the hated Jews, whose expulsion
they deem temporary Intervention
of Providence in their behalf. The thirty
lawyers just eXiled from Odessa were
among the most prominent in that COM
mercial city, and by their departure more
than one important transaction will be him
dered, if not prevented altogether, to the
| great loss of trade there.
A prominent London banker observes
that too much prominence cannot be given
to the fact that where the Jews are most
kindly treated they lose the character
| istics Of which their enemies com
| plain, as is instanced in England and
France. Indeed, in the latter country,
he remarks, the peasantry are more Jewish
than the veriest Shylock, and would speed
| lily fleece such class Of money-lenders as
are complained of in other countries. while
in the cities the Jewish bankers find it more
| difficult yearly to hold their own against
