The Pennsylvania Railroads. Secold Tou
to the Golden Gate.

The Pennsylvania Railroads. Secoad Tour
to the Golden Gate.
Tourists on the first Pennsy lvania Rail
road tour to the Golden Gate, left New
Orleans last week, after witnessing the
great Carnival of Mardi Gras. Their special
train has provoked the greatest admiration
aud the most favorable comments from
the Southern people, owing to its palatial
equipment. Letters from the tourists en-
route to friends at home are full of express
ions of delight in regard to the trip. The
second tour, which will leave Philadelphia
Tuesday, March 81, is filling up rapidly,
due in great measure TO the desire of many
to be in California in the delightful season
of early spring. The route taken for the
second tour west traverses the States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico,
and Arizona, entering the American
Utopian State California from the south,
while east-bound it takes the same route
as the first tour. Stops of longer or shorter
duration are made at all the prominent
points en- route in both directions. The
rate is remarkably low, being but S275, yet
including Pullman Palace Car accommo-
dations, meals, and several side trips The
descriptive itinerary may be procured upon
application to George w. Boyd, Assistant
General Passenger Agent. For those who
anticipate joining this second tour appli-
cation for space should be made at once, as
the number to be carried Is limited.

POLITICS MAKE STRANGE
BED-FELLOWS."

The New York Sun, Democratic,
in its issue of the 4th inst. in it's lead
ing editorial, advocates the re election
of Senator ingalls,, and publishes a
long and interesting interview with
Mrs. ingalls,, in which the good lady
also commits herself unconditionally
to the same idea. 1t is said that in
the event of his defeat in Kansas,
Senator ingalls, has q place provided
for him in the Sun Office as one of it's
editors. Whether the advocacy of
his election by the Sun is prompted
by it's malicious hatred of the ALI
ance, or the purpose to give him an
advertisement as one of its prospective
editors, that paper does not say.
Again the Sun is booming Gov. Hill,
a protectionist, for the Presidency in
1892. Again the New York Herald,
a free-trade paper, is booming the
editor of the Sun, protectiOnist, and
Mr.. Cleveland, anti protectionist, for
the Presidency. Truly, "politics
make strange bed-fellows.
There are lot of people, by the
way, who seem to think the State of
New York holds right in fee simple
to the Office of President, but the
people propose to make application in
the high court of public opinion for a
test of this claim, and we opine that
the verdict will be sumner to Wall
street. But won't the Alliance catch
it lively when Ingalls, and Dana get
together on the San

national banks, trust companies and
all other combines against the general
eOeltare clause.
Political bosses may take warning
from the 4th of November last.
Alliancemen, keep your powder dry
for 1892 Watch the intrigues of the
enemy. We want and must have the
Sub Treasury bill whether we get
Vance or not. We hope our repre-
sentatives and State Senators will bear
this specially in mind, or they will be
left next time. Country first, party
last " is our motto Long life to you,

to all. Fraternally,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Permit one who lives
within hearing of old oceans roar and

good brother "cry aloud and spare
not" "Hew to the line, letting the
chips fall where they may" 1t is
sad indeed to hear the poor down
trodden farmer complain about his
coarse and scanty food and rags, his
actual needs of the comforts of life
and enormous taxes, while the
products of his labor is being bought
and sold many times before it is even
planted, by spectators and gamblers,

pirate the balance to make millionaires.
Phantoms in mortgage shrouds must
certainly haunt the farmers when the
iron tone of the midnight bell is pro
claiming the hour of twelve.

cyclones, floods of water and floods

Mr.. EDITORIAL regular meeting

WHEREAS, The use of Intoxicating

the Constitution of the Farmers ALI,
ance requires a person to be of good

-lutions do not conflict with the Con
stitution- of the order:
ResoEved, That we, the members of
Bluff Alliance, No. 1902, will not
grant any one an application card for
membership in our Alliance who Is
given to drinking ardent spirits to
drunkenness.
ResoEved, That we, as brethren, use
all of our influence among ourselves
in brotherly love to prevent our
brethren from using the same to ex,
cess; and, as far as in US lies to build
up better state of morals among our
brethren, so that we may look back
with pride on the Alliance in after
years, and our children's children
may rise up and call US blessed.

lutions be spread on our minute
