HUTCHINSON, September 10.
EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Since the county
presidents adopted the now famous an
gals resolution" the party bosses and the
party press OF the state have been indus
triously circulating the statement that
the alliance is rapidly losing It's members
and that It's power as an organization is
broken.
A comparison Of the reports Of county
secretaries for the quarters ending March
31st and June 80, gives interesting infor-
matlJn In this respect.
Seventy-three county organizations re-
ported March 8lst, showing a gain in
membership for that quarter Of $4,000.
Now there are one hundred and one
counties organized and the reports show
a gain In membership Of over 10000 for
the second quarter Of the year.
This coming Immediately after the
passage Of the fatal (P) "Ingall resolution"

To Members Of the Alliance, and Especially to
Delegates tO State Alliance Meeting IN October,
1890.
It is expected to make business ses-
sion. The subject Of a state paper, either
alone or in connection with the national
order; will call for serious consideration.
The Dakota plan Of making the state
dues 81 per year with the mammoth
state paper free will be discussed; also
plan Of transportation reform. The ques-
tion Of insurance, and as have had
many complaints Of our state insurance
commissioners acts, / should be pleased
if he should give us personally a history
Of insurance since his term Of Office; also
others posted in such matters. Amend
ments TO the constitution will be dis
cussed, and other important work. Come
to stay until the work Is done. The state
will probably be able to pay expenses of
delegates. Fratenally,

AT the age of five years he was left an

1882 he came To Minneapolis and formed

LABOR a BLESSING"
The Regular sunday Talk of Rev.
III. NJ. Simmons.

Rev. Fl. NJ. Simmons, of the First
Unitarian church, in his sermon ycster-
day said that toll had often been consid-
cred as curse inflicted on the race of
man, and only year ago, when the
French academy offered prize for
poem on labor, every one of the over
200 contributions received treated it as
an evil. Excessive labor of course is,
and that of too many men has to be eX-
ceSsiye. But all history shows that
work and some degree of hardship are
blessings, and idleness is the curse. The
lanuS where living is easiest produce
poor men. The Semitic race reached its
highest not in fertile plains, but in rough
Palestine, with its rocky surface and
thin soil. The Aryan race, from which
most of human civilization has come.
has everywhere had to work its way
against difficulties. 1t reached it's high
est point In ancient times in Attica,
which ''iS one of the most sterile coun-
tries in the world:" and so high an au-
thority as IL. 5. Maine says that except
the blind forces of nature. nothing
moves in this world which is not Greek
in its origin. In modern times no land
of its size has produced more great men
than Holland. which has had to win
much of its soil from the very sea. The
same result is seen on this continent.
The fertile valley of the Amazon is
rather barren of human greatness.
Even in our country the bleaker North
is better than the IuXuriant
South. Florida is better for
oranges, but New Hampshire for men.
Mississippi can raise cotton for clothes.
but Massachusetts better people to put
in them. So with individuals; the great
est men have been made so by the diff
cuties they have had to face. Labor.
when not in excess. is no curse, but the
best blessing given to man. And its ex-
cesses are being removed. At the be-
ginning of this century, men, and even
children, had often to work fifteen hours
day. The working day has since been
shortened successfully to thirteen,
twelve and ten hours. Already ten
hours prove too long by leaving so
many unemployed. and the hours will
be shortened again. Labor will grow
easier, and the day Will come when
prize poems will praise it as blessing.

halo of respect and awe. But
it is far from my purpose to
compare the power of the name
OF any mortal man with that of our
Savior. Jesus came into this world to
fulfil prophecy. aud that promise was
held out to us by his name; and accord
ing as it was propheSied that He would
come into this world TO save all men,
He came. and His only purpose in this
world was to ne savior of men. Let
any one who takes His name in vain
think of these things and by prayer
cast aside his great sin. Let us not
speak that name in anger nor fippantlv,
but let us speak it when our hearts are
full of love and joy. or when bowed
down by grief, Tor that name is most
sacred, and let us always endeavor to
hold it such.

LOWRY ,ATI5FIED,
But Doesn't Want to Move the
Tracks From NicOiIet,

Thomas Lowry, president of the Min
neapoliS Street Railway company, thinks
the idea af moving the motor tracks
from Nicollet to First avenue south. be-
yond Grant, impracticable. as First ave-
nue. is not opened all the way to the
WaShburn home, and the company has
purchased lani ut the corner of Grant
street ami Nicoilet avenue over which
1T has laid tracks. enabling it to reach
Nicollet avenue without making too
short curve. "Electrcity," says Me.
Lowry, lis not so noisy or diSagreeabIe
as steam, ami since the motor is to be
superseded by electricity. the prop
erty owners on Nicollet avenue
would not consent to its removal.''
Mr.. Lowry is entirely satisfied
with the action of the council in agree,
ing to have electricity instead of the
cable. The power houses will be used
as generating plants, and the other ma
terial belonging to the cable line will be
stored. Mayor Babb has not vet signed
the resolutions, but will doubtless do so
before Friday. which is the day of the
expiration of the time in which he is to
do it.

Looking for a location.

The site for the new South Minneap-
oils High school building has not yet
been decided upon. The committee of
the board of education having the mat
ter in charge was expected to make
report at the last meeting of the board,
but did not. The place the committee
had i'll view was the old hay market
square at Cedar avenue and Twenty
Fourth street, but when he learned for
what purpose it was to be used the
owner wanted all the bonds ever issueo
by the city before he would consent to
part with his property. As the commit
tee did not feel justified in paying sew
eral prices for the land, it is now on the
lookout for another location.
