farmers are being held In various dis
tricts of the country for tho purpose Of
elcctlng delegates TO the Farmers Con-

10 form an organization Of the farmers Of
Montgomery, Bucksand Chester counties,
having for It's object the betterment OF
the farming class generally, by legisla-
ton or otherwise.
At the district meetings, which are
usually well attended, such subjects as
"High Taxes and Their Causes" "Equal
Rights and Liberties to all" and "The
Most Good to the Largest Number" are
discussed. AT the meeting Of Limerick
township farmers several evenings ago u

The movement which was mentioned
in the Ledger several weeks ago, has
been growing in favor amongst the farm
ers Of the middle and upper sections OF
the country, who are impelled to some
action for relief by the numerous failures
occurring and the low price commanded
FOR farming land not having railroad IA

EDITOR ADyoCArE:-We have here In
smolan ono Of the most enthusiastic
Farmera' Alliances in existance. We or
ganized about the middle Of November
1880, with only 10 members, and for
awhile il looked as II II would die out but
little while ago il took IA boom, as soon
as we commenced sending fora few goods
and Il leaked out that we got goods at
quite a large discount to what we are in
the habit Of paying at our retail places OF
business; 10 at our last meeting we NUM-
beredH and seven applications for admit
tance and we do not representthe ignorant
or hum drum class OF farmers either We
represent in our order all the leading
farmers in our vicinity and by tho first Of
October next there will not be n single
farmer OF any consequence outside of our
order Weare very reasonable set fully
concurrlng with everything agreed Upon
aud transacted at our county alliance
where we are ably represented. Hoping
our congress will soon pass some bill en-
abllng us to get money at less interest,
for at the rate we are now paying IL
is only a question Of time how soon we
are compelled TO leave our dear beloved
homes. / say dear, as the most Of us are
early settlers, having lived In Saline coun-
ty for upwards Of 21 years and some Of us
more. Hoping something will be done
In the near future, we willalways remain
obedient servants of state and county.

EDITOR ADvooATE- Seeing a great
many communications from different
parts Of the state, / thought short arti-
Gle from Cherokee county might be ac-
ceptable. / believe we have the banner
alliance county Of Kansas, having a
membership of over 5000. Our last
county alliance met In the city Of Colum-
bus on the 3D. Of April. II consisted Of
127 delegates, representing thirty eight
sub-alliances, five sub-alllances not being
represented. The meeting was pleas
ant and profitable one, every member be-
ing enthusiastic over the success OF our
organization.
Our county is most favorably situated,
having inexhaustible lead and coal mines,
large manufacturing industries, and the
best local markets In the state, yet our
farmers are in most deplorable condi-
tion. Many mortgages are being fore
closed and men are forced TO leave the
farms upon which they have spent the
best years Of their lives to improve.
Nothing can save us but immediate leg
islation from becoming tenants on the
farms we have toiled so long TO make our
homes. We cannot wait to revolutionize
the politics Of our country. We must
have help, and have It now. Under the
present system Of trusts, combines and
mortgage companies, the land will pass
out Of our hands, real estate will advance
in price, Gas everything else does after II
passes out OF the hands OF the farmer,)
free homes, the boasted heritage Of the
people, will become thing of the past,
and the poor farmers will become tenants
forever. Is il not possible TO get relief
during the present session Of congress2
Before congress meets again many thou
sand mortgages will be foreclosed and
great multitude Of people left homeless
A Ameasure has already been introduced
in the senate by Mr.. Stanford, Of Callfor-
MIA, which would give the people imme-
mediate relief. The practicability Of this
measure no one can dispute; IL Is no
more than the government has been do
ing for the national banks for years and
enabled them 10 put our noses on the
grindstone by contracting and expanding
the currency at will. Nine-teuths Of our
people belong TO the alliance and the

GERMAN EMPLOYERS COMBINE.

LATE news from Germany is to
the effect that a movement is on
foot and spreading rapidly, the
design Of which is to create a net
work Of employers associations COW
ering the whole empire. The aim
Of this design is the protection Of
employers against strikes. The con-
solidation which has been going an
at an accelerated rate, for some
months past, among the various
labor organizations, has impelled
the representatives and manipu-
lators Of capital to seek closer al
lance with each other, that
they may be the better prepared to
resist the demands OF labor.
This course oSthe part of capital
viii still further hasten the move
ments Of the wagesh-working classes
in the direction Of greater solidity,
which, in turn, will make employers
more united. Each will prepare
with increased thoroughness and
determination for assault upon and
resistance against the other; and the
power or agency which is to step in
between the two great, opposing
forces, and successfully enact the
roll OF peace maker, does not seem,
st the present time, to be cutting
any figure in the social or political
affairs Of the German Empire.

SENATOR BECK.


SENATOR BECK. arrived from
New York at the Baltimore & Po-
tomac depot in Washington, at four
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon, and
few moments after leaving the
cars, and before leaving the station,
he dropped dead. Our dispatches
narrate the the particulars Of the
SAD occurrence, which was a shock
to the entire country.
James Burnie Beck was born in
Dumfriesshire, Scotland, Feb. IL,
1922, and hence was in bis 69th
year. He received an academic
education in his native country,
whence he migrated to Kentucky,
with his parents, while still n young
man locating in the city Of Lexing-
ton. He chose the bar as his profess
sion, graduated from the law de-
partment of rransylvaniaUn University,
and was admitted to practice in
1886. For twenty years he devoted
his time and energies to this calling,
refusing To become a candidate for
Office.
But in 1866 he was offered and
accepted a nomination for Congress,
and was elected to the House OF
Representatives. He served four
successive terms in the lower house,
when, in 1876, he was elected to the
Senate. He took his seat in that
august body, the highest position to
which foreign born citizen can be
elected under our government,
March 4, 1877, and was twice re-
elected. His third term would hare
expired in 1895, but it had come to
be expected that he would retire
before that time, on account Of
failing health, though his sudden
taking OF was entirely unex pected.
Senator Beck possessed n power
fai and comprehensive mind, and
was a statesman Of great ability. His
laboTs as legislator were devoted
more to economic than other ques-
tons, though he was not lacking in
versatility, nor ability as a debater.
He had given much attention to the
tariff and currency questions, and
was an advocate of free trade, and
generous legislation towards silver.
His reputation for probity stands I'M
questioned, and in his death the
Democratic party loses one of its
ablest leaders and opponents.

sign Of being very much
ashamed Of himself. When the
waiter arrived TO take his order
there was mutual recognition, and
the newcomer murmured, 'fGreat

attendant showed no sympathy at
all, but, drawing himself up haugh-
tily, driIy replied, "Yes, Jones, l

AMENDMENTS TO THE STRUBLB
BILL.


ABOUT three weeks ago we pub
lished the text of the measure
known rs the Struble bill, which
aims to disfranchise all Latter-dsy
Saints in the Territory of Utah.
Since then the bill has been amend
ed 50 as not TO make an OfIense of
homogeneous celestial marriage,
avoiding a construction which
might have been put upon it, and
the following has been added to the
second section:
amy person who shall take said
oath shall be entitled TO have his name
entered on the registry for said cleo
ton; but il he swears falsely he shall
be deemed guilty OF perjury, aud on
conviction thereof shall be punished
accordingly"
a new section to be known as
section 3, is also added, as follows:
That any person convicted of the
crime OF perjury under the provisions
Of this act or the act hereby amended.
or to which this act is supplemental,
shall have the right 10 appeal upon
any question OF law or fact 10 the
Supreme Court Of the United States"
The effect Of the clause added to
section > is to curtail the unlimited
authority heretofore assumed by
registration officers in passing judici-
ally upon the question Of an appli-
cant's right to take the registration
oath. Under this bill the
registrar is made no more
nor less than he is supposed,
on the principles of common sense
TO be, a ministerial officer. He must
administer the oath to all applicants
and leave the question of their rig hit
to take Il to the courts. II they
swear falsely they subject them
selves 10 punishment for perjury.
The new section numbered three
provides for appeals to the highest
tribunal in the land, both upon
questions Of law and fact.
While these amendments might
in actual practice, tend TO mitigate
the tyranny heretofore exercised in
this Territory, in relation to n GER
tain class Of prosecutions, and the
registration Of voters, they do not in
the least modify the infamy Of the
bill, when, as a whole, 1t is viewed
from i standpoint Of principle, pat
riotism or constitutional law.
