There is a paper published at Min
neapolis, Mimi, called the Herald, %
edited by q man named Allison-the
same old "Rev. John, "-when he is
sober and up to snuff. He walks into
Donnelly-and declares that the dele.
gates to the Cincinnati Convention
did not represent the State Alliancel
Well, you old bypocrite, who said
they did? They went duly elected un-
der the call, every one of them! The
antagonism to Donnelly is one of the
many instances of the fellow-feeling oil

sewer for the man who does the
<snatching!

The Reporter, Of Three Rivers,
Michigan, in reviewing the course OF
the two old parties combining
against the peoples cause in Kansas
and Nebraska and of the mighty in
fuence exerted by Wall street in car
rying the Ohio election says:
"Those glazing acts of combina-
ton and Doodle have stirred the
farmers and laboring classes of this
state to the core. They are more de-
termined now than at any previous
time to push the fight to the finish.
Fusion, combination and intrigue OF
the old parties have not crushed the
rebellion against plutocracy as it
was expected"

We notice in the Progressive Farm
er, of Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, that the State
Oranges OF that state met at
Springfield on the 9Th OF December.
j. NJ. Thomson, Grand master of
the state, gave them some interesting
facts relating to the crops of that
commonwealth, and some mortgage
statistics which, we should think
would warm the desire for relief of
the granger element in that section
into independent party action. Mr..
Thompson belongs to the cid party
in power. Can it be that with the
experience OF the past staring him in
the face in the shape of the following
facts and figures, that he expects
reformation or redress from that
source? He shows that of the last
80 years, during the first IA wheat
was raised at profit, but for the
last Is it has been raised at an &C.
tual loss. The farmers OF the state
OF Illinois are now paying interest
amounting to $6,8OO,OOO per an
mum on mortgage indebtedness OF
$146,OOO,OOO, while the net profit
on all farm products is only about
$17,000,OOO. This would leave to
the farmers OF this great agricultur-
al state as their share of the years
toll the small sum OF 5000, 900, while
shylock's share is $6,8OO,OOO. In
other words, of the net earnings of
the farmers of Illinois, the creditor
class, the money power gets a little
over 81 per cent. OF the farmers pro-
duct, leaving him a little less than
3 per cent with which to pay his
taxes and support his family" This
is by far the worst showing, for the
farmer, that Illinois has ever made.
And yet, Mr.. Thompson, the man
who is pointing out these abonina-
tions and fully realizes the Infamous
condition of the people, advises these
same down trodden men to seek re-
lief in their respective old parties.
Now that they are burned, let them
sit on the blister.

Senator Plumb, the senior senator
OF Kansas, was stricken with apo
plexy, in Washington, D. c., early
Sunday morning, Dec. Goth. After a
brief but severe struggle he breathed
his last about 11:3O a. m. He was
one of the wheel horses of the republi-
can party, and an old soldier. His
devotion to party principles was
never doubted, but he was ever ready
to condemn what he considered er-
rors in policy and legislation. He
was Of a positive uncompromising
nature, in sympathy with the peo-
pie and at war with aristocracy and
against plutocracy. Since Senator
Ingalls, defeat, the senior senator
(Plumb) has been the recognized
leader of the republican force in Kan
sas. His sudden taking off will
greatly complicate the struggle be-
tween the alliance and republicans.
It is highly improbablethat the legis-
lature will be reconvened. as it is
made up by large majority of al
lance members. Gcv. Humphrey
will not be in haste about naming a
man for the vacancy, as the ap-
pointment is OF major Importance.
The successor of Senator Plumb,
without doubt, will be the republican
candidate when the legislature con-
venes in 1898.
Among the prominentnames which
have been mentioned for the place,
are Geo. " Anthony, ex Congress
man E. N. Morrill, and Geo. R. Peck,
general solicitor of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad company.
Had Senator Ingalls, not been SO out
spoken for the farmers movements,
in the past few months, his chances
for the appointment might have been
brighter. But it is a we'll known fact
that the present governor of Kansas
believes in fighting, rather than pet
ting, the alliance.

GLOW ought our representatives in
Congress to stand as to caucusses,
etc.," To our mind, if there is but
one man that man should stand alb
solutely alone, hold his own caucus,
nominate himself (if for office nomin-
ations) and vote fer himself. If he
can go into other party combina-
tions, then he could go in at the bal
lot box, and have no party of his
own. "Them's our principles!''

Thirty years ago the agriculturists
OF this country owned 80 per cent. Of
the wealth; twenty years ago 60 pei
cent; ten years ago 40 per cent; in
1890 they owned % per cent, with
three-fourths of that under mort
gage. That is democratic-republi-
con Wall street policy. Now let us
have peoples policy, and if we can
not improve on the record of the
) past 30 years let us give it up as a
government OF the people, and call it
q failure.

Texas Industrial Educator says:

ceived by half dozen OF our ALI
ance and peoples party leaders. Sew

to bet $50 that President Polk will
not be alive on Christmas. Would it
do any good to place these letters in

Ignatius Donnelly by the ISLANDERS Of
the Pioneer Press, are connecting
some new mess of abuse and that it
is to be exploded at the coming ALI
ance Convention, unless Gov. Don
nelly will agree to prevent the State
Alliance from endorsing the Peoples
Party of the United States, and that
the man who is to make the attack
expects to go to Congress from one OF
the Congressional Districts as a re-
ward for his service in side-tracking
the Independents. 1t is assassination
in Texas; it is to be worse than as
sassinatiOn in Minnesota. The ALI

his sub alliance represented in the

preston or injustice.
