At our last meeting the purchase
of the GREAT WEST by the alliance
was briefly discussed and final action
deferred us It'll our next meeting,

There is one point upon which our
alliance seems to be a unit, and that
is, the GREAT WEST must be sustain
ed, and that too in the present at
titude. Some of us think that If the
GREAT WEsTis absorbed by the state
alliance and comes under control OF

dissolved into a lukewarm meaning

A Dirty Critic.

"A &dTty Critic.
HOLLAND, Mimi, Feb. 18th, 1891.
Editor GREAT WEST:
DEAR SIR:-I see that some paper
is trying to ridicule you and ns-the
Alliance party, by saying we call
Donnelly the "new Christ /, for
one, think that such an outbreak on
you and on the alliance by,uany pa
per, or by any man, is an outrage,
and no man OF principle and good
morals would make any such re-
marks either in public or in private.
consider ties a low, dirty, nasty,
filthy act. Now let me say TO you
and all thosewho have alliance prin-
ciples, and principles of honesty, and
who have the manly courage to
stand up fortnight and to put their
foot ON all that is wrong, that we
the alliance, have not come to stay
a day, but have come to stay for
good, and we will live, when those
who are now making report OF our
work will be'forgotten.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly is a man
we need and want at the head 81 the
alliance, and l do sincerely believe
that he will prove himself worthy OF
the confidence we;placed in him.
A little advice to some OF our local
alliances:
For one thing, stand by one en-
other, in all just actions, if you are
true alliance man and you see your
neighbor or brother alliance man
treated unjustly or unfairly in any
way, you will feel the sting as we'll
and as hard as he does.
Never be ashamed to stand up for
right andiustice, no matter when and
keep your ears and eyes open and
keep your lips guarded. In fact keep
yourself unspotted from the world.
Have manly principles and manly
courage and dare to do right at all
time and in all things and after you
read your GREAT WEST, hand it to
your neighbor, who is not a sub
scriber to it, try and get him to sub
scribe for it, and at once, Tor delay
is dangerous, for it is a paper that
should find it's way into every ALI
ance family. If they can't read it
read it to them; show to them the
great truth; try and tear the veil OF
ignorance from their faces, SO that
they may see how we are robbed and
swindled, not only on grain but
everything we buy and sell, eat,
drink and wear. Dear reader, if you
are subscriber to paper that does
not advocate alliance principles, or
is perhaps straddle of the fence, give
it the g. b. Let none of the papers
lblindfold you on any subject con-
corning Alliance principle. I know
there are lots OF them that try to
confuse the toilers' ideas. They will
tell you to stand by the Old Party,
that it is a policy! Be brave, broth
efs, and plant your artillery OF JUS
tice, for it will be needed in '02, at
the ballot box. For then is the time
when we propose to bury both the
Old Granny Parties in one coffin and
one grave, and sing farewell to them
and peace will reign once more.

MY WHITE BONANZA OATS
$5OOIN GOLD.

In 1889 the American Agriculturist offered $500
in gold to the farmer raising the greatest number
of bushels from one measured acre. 1t was won
by w. R. Strickland, Albion, N. Y, who purchased
of us 2H bushels Of White Bonanza Oats and
sowed same on acre, yielding "a bushels and
rs lbs. Some ten thousand entered the contest
and the WHITE BONANZA SCOOPED
THEM ALL. returning the first and second
heaviest yields. The Editor Of the American
Agricultural, commenting on it, says: "The
American Agrfculturist pronounces it the most
prolific of all other varieties.

Fish Creek Alliance.

This alliance met on the 18th of
Feby, and passed some very solid
resolutions.
The first one was in reference to the
appointing of Boards by Executive
officers of the state, and calls upon
their senator and representative to
aid in removing such power, and
make the Boards elective. The COM
mittee on resolutions was Jas. A.
Gilbert, A. S. Stephens, John John
son and R. S. Trip.
The second is promised on the ex-
traordinary extravaganza of the
legislature in the matter of perqui-
sites, and buneombe officials, such
as five dollars a day to raise the flag
twenty feet near the caves of the
State Capitol building.
The resolution says:
"Resolved, that we denounce and
deem it unjust to make any such ap-
preparations, simply to demonstrate
an assumed authority"
The third resolution takes up the
State Lectureship.
Whereas: i e2rrrcears that our
State Annual Meeting has made a
mistake by electing Miss Eva Nc
Donald. a person for State Lecturer,
who according to our constitution,
is not eligible to a membership the
alliance, and
Whereas, The said Miss Eva Nc
Donald is at present employed as a
reporter for one of the influential pa
pers of the state which is not gener-
ally in sympathy with our move
ment, and
Whereas, The above influence is
brought to bear on our Executive
Committee meetings, thereby caus-
ing a disturbance in our Executive
Committee, Therefore be it,
Resolved, That it will be for the
interest of our organization that
action be taken in the matter, and
Resolved, that We ask the Execu-
tive Committee to, at their earliest
opportunity. bearing all respect to

How a Pennsylvania Man Foretells the
 Weather.
 A gentleman who lives a few miles west of town, says the Windland (Pa.) n,mOcrat, is barometer in himself. He can tell when the temperature will lower or rise almost to the hour. Often he has predicted north winds, rain, etc., when there were no visible signs to hear out his assertions He does not prognoSticate by his feelings, but by some strange markings on his left fore arm.
 These marks resemble the discharger of a Leyden jar as much as anything else. There is ono mark about two inches long and quarter of an inch wide and from this project two other red lines. On the end of each of these is blue spot. When the indications arc for rain these two spots travel under the skin until they touch each other. When the probabilities are for wind or dry weather they separate until they are diametrically opposite. Physicians have examined the discolorations, and say that they are only some kind of pig ment under the skin, and that they are similar in nature to birthmarks. They cannot explain the travelling proclivities of these fOrerunners, however.

is shut out the domestic producer
is protected from competition"
and so fixes his own p ice. The
result is that the revenue that for
merly went to the Government
now goes to the men who make up
the campaign funds of the Repub-
lican party.
There is notable decrease of
expenditures for the seven months
which the Chicago Herald thus ac-
counts for:
Turning to the expenditures we
find still stronger reason to expect
a deficit. In the first place we see
that the expenditure on account of
pensions during the seven months
this year were only $63, $4,000
against $40, 100000 during the same
months last year, decrease of &c.
$4,000. The expenditures on this
account should have been larger
than last year, because very little
had been paid out under the de-
pendent pension bill before Novem-
her, last year, and because the PEN
sion Office is continually passing
claims under old laws. Congress
expected that the pension charge
would be greater for the current
fiscal year than it was for the last
for it appropriated $36,700,000 more
for the current fiscal year. During
the expired four months of the cur
rent fiscal year there has been paid
out on this account $36,417, 900,
against $44, 1897, 900 during the same
months last years., 100000 less
this year, and about $9,000000 less
than the proportional part of this
years appropriations"
In addition it is to be remember
ed that not less than $10,00O,000
will be necessary to pay the sugar
bounty, and $1,000, 900 more to meet
the ship subsidy.
The Republicans will go into the
next Presidential contest facing Il
big deficit. They will be required
to explain and defend policy of
folly and extravaganza which has
converted an annual surplus of 800
100000 into an annual deficit of
nearly S20,OOO,0O0 with an increase
of taxation on imported clothing
and other comforts of life.

The Power Of One Vote.

There never was a stronger in
stance of the power of single
ballot than the instance occurring
in Sullivan county, N. Y, at the re-
cent election.
The Republican clerk tabulated
the vote of the county as required
by law, and found that George M.
Beaks had been elected to the AS
sembly by majority of one.
Subsequently the county Board
of canvassers, consisting of nine
Republicans and six Democrats
met, when the Republican MAORI
ty decided to do an act wholly un-
authorized by law: namely, to go
over and inspect the ballots.
In doing this they found in one
precinct, that one vote had been re-
jected by the judges for the reason
that a Republican and Prohibition
ballot had been folded and voted
together. Both ballots had been
rejected by the judges as the law
requires in such case; but the Re-
publican majority decided to count
this rejected vote for the Republi-
can candidate.
Thus by the fraudulent action of
the canvassing Board, the Demo-
cratic majority was reduced to Il
tie.
The Republicans then on some
preteXt Of other, just what does not
clearly appear, threw out Il Demo-
cratic vote in another precinct, and
thus changed the Democrat major
ity of one, to Republican maiori-
ty of one, and thus hold control
of the Legislature of the State.
1t is said that this action of the
Board is in direct violation of law,
and the courts will be appealed to
to annultheir action.
We do not know what the pro-
visions Of the law are in this re-
gard, but the whole case shows the

A Big Deficit.

Cour. Journal
Some years ago in response to
the demands of the Democrats for
a reduction of taxation in order to
avoid the accumulation of a sur
plus, the Republicans responded:
at is easier to handle surplus
than deficit"
Their method of managing a
surplus was to create deficit.
They "abolished the surplus" by
extravagant appropriations, and
changed the laws so as TO reduce
the revenues while at the same
time increasing taxation.
Now it is plain, all the false pre-
lenses of Republican officials to the
contrary, that the revenues under
theMKinley tariff won't be suffici-
ent to meet the expenditures order
ed by Reeds BilIion-dollar Con-
gress.
