Nothing more disgusting than the
recent three-column account OF a
murder at South st. Paul, in the
daily press, has come to our no
tice in many years. There was a
tresspass on land; then an alter
cation; then fight in which a
stock yards commission man, the
trespasser, pounded the other. Then
the commission man made AS if to
draw a revolver. Robarge, the other
person went in and got an axe. The
termination of the whole affair was a
horrible murder by Robarge, but
every step to which was urged on by
aggressive action on the part of the
opponents. The terror-stricken slay-
er, spoke an awful sentence of regret
to his wife, in the house, rushed to
the barn, and killed himself.
Now the disgusting feature of the
whole affair is that the daily press
drool out an Infamous screed against
anarchy" in the matter. They
constantly refer to Mr.. Robarge as
1.-THE anarchist" "killed himself in
accordance with the principles of an
archists," "the anarchist slayer" So
frequent are these references in the
long article poinred-that the

nection that the daily press is q

We fight not only monstrous wrongs

We fight not only monstrous wrongs
but those who palliate them.
To talk of peace or good will to
men who have upheld the robberies
OF the past and present is nonsense.
70 talk OF harmony with men who
put their hands into the treasury OF
the giant monopoIies is folly. How
little do the "peace and harmony
men-often good men-realize the
great and profound struggle open
ing before Ms! In the year soon to
come they will look back to us as to
a lighthouse on stormy shore-and
through the thick mists and over the
lurid waves will come the voice,
s'Thy voice was flaming sword, but
it clave for righteousness"
No sir, no peace for us. 1t may
mean simply a war at the ballot box,
and before the altar of patriotism
but war it is-until the plutocratie
vision OF wealth dominating poverty
has dissolved into a new empire
where labor wears the purple and the
bond-robber wears the stripes.

Any scheme on earth to put mon
ey into the politicians pocket is legit-
innate, constitutional, and "econ-
omical." 1t may be vast river and
harbor frauds, war-ship frauds, Col
umbian Fair frauds, with multitude
of $4,000 salaries attached, whisky
warehouse ring robberies, etc., etc.
But you talk of loaning money on
farm lands, postal savings banks,
and subtreasuries for produce-and
they are all too costly and unconsti-
tutional. Well, it takes a political
revolution to accomplish wonder, s.
and it's on hand!
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-11-07

Another remarkable feature of the
Campaign Committee comes to light.
The editor OF the Princeton Union,
"'Bob" Dunn, as he is Familiarity
called, was a candidate for the legis-
lature. We have nothing to say
against Mr.. Dunn, personally or poo
litically. In fact, we know he stands
well before his people. But Mr.. Dunn
edits a radical republican Merriam
paper, and stands in thoroughly
with his party-one of it's eminently
respectable members. But it is not
in line with faithful alliance work for
members of the Alliance State Com
mittee to write formal endorsements
for candidates upon another party.
Geo. w. Sprague and R. c. Judson, the
Stock Yards Inspector, both members
of the alliance committee, have done
so. Mr.. Dunn is doubtless worthy
of the friendship, but official relations
should not permit such semi-official
endorsements of man who is an ad.
vocate of the old party. In one col
umn appear these letters-in another
strong and earnest appeals to stand
by the old party and Mr.. Merriam!
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1890-11-07

The campaign has not been q
severe one for Mr.. Owens. Although
but five years resident of the state,
and previously a dry goods clerk,
and not then nor now q member OF
the alliance, still the opposition
press has made no use of his ''politi-
cal weakness" Nor has the fact that
not a solitary farm worker was on the
ticket been referred to to our know
ledge-nor that only one member OF
the alliance was on the ticket, and
that an endorsed candidate, Mr.. Bar
rett. Truly the alliance ticket has
been kindly dealt with.

Financial Di1ncuItie..

The greatest bar in the way of the
successful working Of labor organize
tions is the difficulty of taking prop
er care of the finances. The difficulty
is one Of great import-one greater
than has ever been brought to the
surface.
Thousands OF persons will not
join a labor organization because
they are afraid that there is a s'mon-
ey scheme" in it. A great many
doubtless are in it owing to a money
scheme which they see it. But the
most severe drawback is the fact
that men whose generous hearts
would pour wealth into labor treas
uries from their earnings, are afraid
to do so lest some one is fattening
unjustly off their liberality.
The great desideratum required to
bring labor up into a stupendous
organization, of great independence
and power, is the discovery of some
means to construct and guard an alb
solutely safe treasury. 1t will be an
invention, if ever acquired, and once
secured there would be such a devel-
opment OF strength as the world
never saw.
The inefficient guards about the
treasures is what weakens and i'm
poverishes our societies. The defec-
ton OF three alliance secretaries in
succession, in this state, has been a
blow of terrible severity upon this
organization.
Perhaps. in time, all labor organ
izations will consent to common ex-
amining boards. At all events, and
under all circumstances, the financial
accounts should be- published. OF
course, in great secret organizations
a ''secret fund.- is required-but the

Peace and HARMONY"


1t is exceedingly difficult for some
OF our friends to realize that this pa
per is not after "peace and har-
mony." The
PEACE AND HARMONY RACKET
never entered our heads-and it
never will. The GREAT WEST was
not started in the interest of peace
and harmony. It was ushered into
the field to the music of q war-cry-
and that cry shall echo over the prai-
ries of the west and the savannahs
OF the south till the uplifted hands of
want and woe sink to rest, or bear
the sceptre of the Christ-dominion
There is no "peace and harmony"
between God Almighty and Lucifer.
There is much less opportunity for
p. & b. in our case because we lack
those qualities of
BENIGNITY AND TENDERNESS
characteristic of heavenly agents
The fact is, gentlemen, the GREAT
WEST is armed to the teeth with
venom and malice for those who in
the name OF the poor, and the suffer
ing, and the evicted, and the robbed,
have put themselves under the
wings OF bankers and the coattails of
lawyers, while advocating the hottest
cause that was ever borne to human
ity on the wings of everlasting love.
H,gentlemen, you must have either
peace and harmony, or the GREAT
WEST, and only one-and you pre-
fer the D. and h., go ahead-and we
will let you have title down with
the wolf and caress the viper. Love
is a sweet passion, and it is said that
even alligators weep at the sound OF
crushing bones between their ponder
GUS jaws. But if you prefer to have
a little OF the rock-salt of truth and
a little OF salve OF justice-you'v We
got to fight. As for us it is fight.

" worked for the democratic inter-
est. But for the GREAT Wnsr Jump
ing on to them they would have let
the entire campaign simmer out and
play out. Only the night before the
election this organ Of the Campaign

icent and glowing tribute to the
character of the great railway at

the sooner it is corralled into the

was to do, business! Another men,
Der was the delightful companion of
Jim Hill on his Montana Palace Car
frolics. Another was the Stock Yards
Meat Inspector, and another was the
Secretary who told the Exec. Com.
to ''get the records when you can,
Cd d-n you?'-as he closed the
door on the august body. Etc, etc.
The Secretary, the one active man re-
quired, instead of being a man who

guise-who was as helpless in the

No, the "Committee" did not hold

Of course the campaign is over,
and the voters are practically count
ed-and the fury of the waves is
overpast. But we do want to
say that those three last days in
Pipestone were the biggest in our ex-
perience. Whether it was the ICY

named us, or, as more likely, the visi-
be Truth rising in wrath-at all
events the two great Errors repre-

they did not succeed.
Thursday afternoon and evening
Pipestone was alive with farmers.
They didn't crawl over Pipestone-
they came with a hop, skip and jump.

House a big noisy giant, in the shape
OF a thresher traction engine footed
it's wild "agony of joy over the

CINE responded. Behind the traction

now we will try to settle down and

three weeks the G. w. has been on

such things never occur to other pa

an original idea OF our own. And
yet only one worries us-that is, the
putting in of the wrong Halls as
members OF the last Twine Commit

fault. Any editor would have done
the same on similar information.
