The recent national meeting,
was harmonious, business-like,
and effective. It conducted it's
labor in q manner satisfactory
to ali who have the good of the
Order at heart, and reflects great
credit upon the sagacity and in
tegr ty Of the delegates. Such
action will greatly strengthen
the Order and materially aid in
the work Of the coming year.
The brethren should feel a just
pride in the result Of this meet
ing, and take renewed courage
at the fright prospects for the
Order. With both loyalty and
good Judgment the meeting took
up the business at hand and car
ried it TO successful compile
ton. No responsibility was
shirked, no question evaded, but
g square, manly course was pur-
sued in relation to all matters
presented for consideration.
Moderation and conservatism
marked all the proceedings, and
81 general desire to unity and
strengthen seemed to pervade
throughout the nesting. Taken
altogether, the result Of the ma
tional meeting has exc eeded the
most sanguine expectations, and
will have q marked effect on the
Order. The subsidized press
had prepared the public mind
FOR the disruption and disorgan-
ization Of the Alliance. Indian
apolis, the place Of meeting, was
filled with thoss seeking the de-
struction Of the Order, vet. in
the face of all this, no overt act
was committed, no thoughtless
or unguarded action taken, or
anything npdignifed or revenge
full INDUCED in. All were treat
ed courteously but firmly, and
no one had just cause for COM
plant in regard to such usage.
The trlcksterS and traitors were
brought to naught. Such in
btlef are the main points of the
recent meeting, which should
be source Of congratulations
tor every earnest member of the
Alliance. Much more could be
said in regard to the meeting
and its grand work, but the
above Is sufficient to saaw that
the outcome has been a long
stride in advance for the cause
of reform, and and another an
nual mile post successfully pass
ed by the Alliance in its rapid
yet healthy growth. The fu-
ture OF the Order looks bright.
It's prospects for successful work
and the ultimate triumph of its
Principl IS were never more pro-
pitious. Lat the bre hren be
thankful for the present condi-
ton, renew gain their faith IN
the Order, and strive to excel in
the future the devotion and dill
igenc" of the past. The dark
clouds that have hung so low
are beginning TO lift, and the
silver lining SO long hidden from
sight is being seen through the
riff. Let individual effort be
redoubled and a supreme effort
made by one and all for the Ia
boz Of the coming year.

away, nay, corruptly alienated
