CITIZENS PETITION.
They Protest Against An Industry Being
Established.

At the meeting Of the Common Council
Monday evening Mr.. Campbell presented the
following petition:
we, the undersigned. hearing that a com
pany proposes 10 establish brewery IN Blen-
ners Park. do most respectfully and earnestly
request your honorable body to save rs and our
families from the visitation of such a curse.
Our churches and orr children will be injured.
and our property will decrease IN value. Save
rs we entreat You. from the untold evils which
the setting up OF a brewery will lntllct upon us
in this part Of our growing and beautiful city"
The petition Is signed by about one hundred
and seventy-fye citizens Of that part Of the
city where it is proposed to establish the
brewery.
The paper was referred to the Committee on
Health. Opinion was expressed yesterday
that the Council can take no action in the
matter. The only way 10 prevent the opera
ton OF a brewery is 10 prove that 1t Is nui-
sance, which is a matter for the consideration

Supervisors.
There is money in the hands Of Mr.. Lyon
G.. Tyler for certain United States supervisors.
At the Congressional election in 1886 a new
registration WAS made, and the supervisors of
election at that time worked eight days.
The law allowed them pay for any number
of days not exceeding ten. and accordingly
the men put in bill for eight days work at
the rate of 20 "A day.
Acknowledgement Garland at that time de-
cided that five days salary was q sutficlency,
and they, as n consequence. only received s2J.
They brought suitin the United States Court,
and after the usual laws delay the Supreme
Court of the United States decided that the
Attorney General was wrong and that the
supervisors were entitled to the three days
salary.
This fact was brought to the attention Of
Congress, and at the last session an apprO-
pration was made to pay the supervisors and
the expenses of the suit.
Accordingly the men, and there are forty Of
them. can receive on next Thursday at II
o'clock at the custom house their long looked
for Sl5. and the opinion of Mir. Garland Just
costs the Government the little round sum Of
: 4 600.

BICYCLE GINS.

When the open air was again reached a
SIGHT met the gaze Of these innocent farmers
which caused them to long for the broom-sage
fields Of HenrcO and adjacent counties. The
shocking" sight was a number Of girls spin
ming along on bicycles.
Yes. two-wheel BICYCLES. and they were
riding them in regular boy fashion.
About this time there was a controversy as
10 the next point of interest 70 be seen. some
desiring to 20 10 the top Of the Washington
monument. while others were anxious 70 view
the panorama.
A compromise was finally reached. and the
party separated. as the time was too limited
to allow of visit to each place.
Those who went to the monument felt
greatly blessed in doing honor to the Father
Of his Country by sublectng themselves for
his sake to a long and tiresome walk.
All of the latent fire in the bosoms of the
old Confederate farmer soldiers who visited
the panorama was aroused. and they almost
imagined themselves again IN action.

False Civilization.

A civilization that does not equalize
upon scale of equity, the conditions
of it's classes; that not only does not
eliminate injustices but tends to foster
and perpetuate them; that breeds class
distinctions on a purely arbitrary basis;
that results in making the rich richer
and the poor poorer; that concentrates
power and privilege into the hands Of
the few to the detriment of the many;
that provokes antagonism between
classes whose real interests are iden-
tical; that makes wealth the sole STAN
dard of responsibility and influence,
and gives money and almost superhu-
man power, to the neglect of charac-
ter, brains and personal worth; that
sets up before all false aims and makes
what the Greater evidently intended
should be but the means of reaching
supreme end. an end in itself; that
does all this defiaptly, arrogantly and
automatically; in other words, a civili-
zation which has all the characteris-
tics of mediavalism in that it promotes
and exalts plutocracy, such a civiliza-
ton is rank failure, and deserves to
be classed with the defunct civilizations
of Ninevah. Greece and Rome. The
Alliance.

Pull TOgether.

We believe that farmers should have
seats at the first table and partake of
the good things that abound without
crowding other worthy people away
There is no use trying to force the
millennium. The good time we all
pray and work for will be slow in
coming at best and we cannot hurry
it up. Ill considered attempts to ex-
pedite it's approach may result in a
postponement Of its arrival.
Hence movements of farmers to i'm
prove their condition, unless wisely
planned and conservatively executed.
are liable to setbacks. in. which the
good cause will seem to recede.
Especially any selfish attempt to go
forward at the expense of any class, to
acquire benefits which other people do
not have, will certainly result in fail
ure, as it ought to.
1t is folly for farmers organizations
to unite with other labor societies.
Farmers must learn to manage their
own team, before they hitch up with
another team that has not learned to
pull true. It is ali right for labor to
organize; if it does not it will be left
in the mire. 1t is essential for far
mers to organize in self-defense; but
don't tie the two bodies together.
Neither can run well so.-Farm

Fowls Eating Feathers.

When hens eat their feathers it is a
symptom that something is wrong with
their feed. Giving too much corn is a
common cause of this habit. The hens
grow fat at first. from, the excess of
carbon or starch this grain possesses,
but soon become unhealthy and stop
laying. Even when more heterogeneous
and mineral food is given care must be
exercised not to over-feed. The only
way to secure entire healthfulness
with any breed is to give them plenty
of room, and if of the lazy Asiatic
breeds, that dislike exercise, then
force them to- it by giving them food
mixed with straw or chaff so that they
must scratch to get it.. The fowls that
pick over heaps of horse manure for
scattering oats may not be engaged in
clearly business; but they do not be-
come diseased as fowls will that are
cooped up and fed only clear grain.

What They Forget

The old party leaders have omitted
one important factor in their calcula-
tions regarding the proposed campaign
of education. They have not taken
into the account that 5000, 900 mort
cages that are leading propaganda
among the people, .ceaseless in their
efforts and marvellous in their results.
These $1,000, 900 mortgages scattered
throughout the country on the average
of one to every seventh man. woman
or child, can do more in the line of
teaching the people the need of rad
ical reforms than the whole combined
subsidized press can explain away.
These 10000 mortgages take no va
cation, never disagree as to methods,
are united in single effort, and always
conclude their labors with moral APP
plication that is never forgotten. AS
an educator the mortgage has no equal.

THE DEMANDS.
Great Objections Come From The Igno-
rance of Directors.

Great Objections Come From The Igno-
rance of Directors.
The Alliance demands adopted at
Ocala, Florida, are as plain and sim
pie as the English language can ex-
press them. They are put up in a
business way, and their authors have
plainly shown that they meant bust
ness. These demands are made by
people who feel the need of them.
The laboring classes, by the aid of
their leaders, have published their
wants, and told to the world that they
must have them. What has been the
consequence? Why, opposition of
course, from every quarter and de-
nunciation from almost every hand.
Why all thisp just because some
mans business is going to be inter-
fered with and some company cannot
make as much money as they could
before if these demands are granted
by the law-making bodies of our land.
The great objections raised come more
from the ignorance of the DIRECTORS
than any other source. But none
need despair on account. of OBJ
jectiOns All reform movements
that have ever been started. have at
first been the subject of sharp criti-
cism, and the instigators denounced as
traitors and natural born cranks. In
this position, just now is the Alliance.
Its leaders are being attacked and the
demands controverted by bitter oppo-
sition. What these demands are a
great many people do not know, and
further they do not want to know, if
in them they find anything to cross
their paths, however wrong they may
be, or however reasonable these de-
mands appear to fair and unprecedented
minds. The Alliance has unfolded it's
banner to the public and now let it be
upheld with dignity and honor to the
principles it so earnestly adheres to-
The Alliance demands, generated in
the domains of reason and Justice,
born of necessity by the oppressed and
down-trodden, in this same spirit
should be sustained. Let every Ali
ance man stick closely to the Alliance
demands, and allow no strife or con-
tention enter his mind. Let all ac-
quaint themselves with the issues and
be prepared on all occasions to stand
their ground in the face of opposition
and denunciation. Farmers Advocate

THE CREATURE OF LAW.
A Debt-Mortgaeed and Bond Cursed
Nation.

A Debit MortgaDed and Bond Cursed
Nation.
The issue is to free labor from the
bondage of debt. To do this we must
repeal the infamous financial laws that
created, fosters and increases the debt.
Debt is creature OF law. Where
there is no law there is. no debt The
Babylonian government was destroyed
by debt; Greece persisted in debt;
Rome went down under debt which
she could not pay; debt was the cause
of the French revolution; every acre
of land under the dominion of Great
Britain is mortgaged; every acre OF
land and city lot in the United States
is mortgaged. All Christendom is
under legal debt. and there is no law
providing for the payment of this
legalized robbery. Debt is burden
upon labor. Debt takes the farmers
corn, wheat and stock before he has
produced them. To-day a laborer's
wages are taken for interest," rent
and taxes before he has completed his
days work. The merchants labor is
all taken by transportation companies,
rent and interest. The farms are mort
gagged; the productions of the farm
must be taken to pay the interest
on the debt. The merchants store
and goods are mortgaged; the profit
taken from the consumer is to pay the
interest on the debt The railroads
are mortgaged, the profits taken for
transportation are used to pay the in
terest on the debt Debt is the cause
of 1000, 900 people being out of en-
ployment and compelled to tramp in
the United States to-day. We are a
acknowledged and bond-cursed ma
ton. Labor has borne this burden;
the chains are becoming more CALLING;
the means of the miserable. made SO
by oppression, are heard all over the
land. As the debt increases labor de-
mands freedom in sterner tones.
Where shall we go for relief Will
we go to the old Democratic and Re-
publican parties? No! We must go
to the students of labor, 60 to the till
ers of the soil, go to the shops and
mines and factories; and ask all who
labor to come together in one grand.
Independent political organization,
then we can iberate labor from this
bondage of debt. Then when the
farmers are free from debt and school,
county, railroad, state. and national
bonded debts are paid, then the labor
problem will be solved, for the burden
of labor will then be lifted, and he
who, tolls will then have the benefits
of his productions. Industrial Edu-
