Minnesota Farmers Demand that 1t BE
Reduced-N hat They Ask.

The resolutions adopted By the Minnesota
convention OF the Farmers Alliance open
ed with a shot at the tariff. The most i'm
portant OF them are as follows:
We demand that the war tariff be
radically revised, giving necessary reduc-
tions and placing raw material on the free
list, To the end that we may be able to COM
pete with the world for n market. We de-
mand governmental control OF the rail-
roads both of the State and the nation, 10
the end that reasonable rates shall be
established and watering OF stock not be
permitted, and that our Legislature shall
enact n freight-rate law which shall fix
rates no higher than those now in force i'm
Iowa, and reduce the passenger rates to
two cents a mile. As producers we de-
mand "A free and open market for our grain,
and that railroads shall receive and ship
the same as they do all other commodities.
That the grading OF wheat at coun-
TIE stations be abolished; and we de-
mand that the Legislature investigate the
handling, inspection, and weighing OF grain
under existing laws. We demand n law
lorbdding any railroad from issuing any
mortgage bonds or stock until an account

1uction OF the rate OF interest TO : per cent.

vention of banks OF issue. We demand the
free coinage of silver and denounce the
silver bill passed by Congress as a fraud
upon the people and we also demand
that all public offices which directly affect

day OF reconciliation and peace, and we
hold that one of the greatest aims OF the
Alliance is the restoration of fraternal
feeling and true concord TO the people OF

Government foreclose its lien on the Union
Pacific Railroad, and take possession and
operate the same In the interests OF the
people OF the United States. Option gam

sgnatius Donneliy Chosen President Of
the Orc anixation.

More than 1000 delegates TO the Farmers
Alliance State Convention OF Minnesota
assembled at the Newmarket Theater at
Il. Paul. Mr. Ignatius Donnelly read q
plan for the settling OF disputes In the Com
mitSee on Credentials which was unani-
mously adopted. On the retirement OF
The committee, IA Dakota County man
moved that the State Lecturer, Mr.. Dom
nelly, be heard from. This was quickly
amended by "a motion 10 adjourn. The first
test vote between the two factions resulted
In great triumph for Donnelly. There
were some manifestations of dissatisfac-
ton, but President Hall said: "Gentlemen,
speech from Mr.. Donnelly will not
hurt you. Ii he wants 10 address
you hear him. and 1 will now pre-
sent him 10 the convention" Mr..
Donnelly alluded To this gathering as
the most unexampled and unparalleled
meeting ever held I'm the State, and after
congratulating the convention on the i'm
mense vote polled last November for the
Alliance ticket, proceeded to argue that
the Alliance must maintain its separate
Identity and not fuse with Democrats or
Republicans. He said:
Both parties have declared time and
again that the water must be squeezed out
enough water extracted to wet the lips OF
thirsty Arab in the Desert OF Sahara. Nay,
when we passed law i'm 1857 that
no more watered stock should be created.
and that IL IL was created the men en-
gagged in the work should go To the
penitentiary, no attention was paid TO
IL. Since the passage OF that act
the fraudulent capitalization OF railroads
in Minnesota, in the face OF an enactment
declaring 1t penal offense has increased
about S3s. 00O, 900 /and the average capital
iZation of the roads OF the State has risen
from about S37 600 per mile TO $4,000 per
mile. The 500 Railroad Company claims
that its road cost S34 Ia, 097 65, but SIS, 41g.
219. 90 was for discounts on securities; that
is to say it cost SlS,4l0,2l9.90 TO discount
sI5,754, s77.66; If they had borrowed the
money for another six months at
that rate they would have owed $50
000,0 and not have had a foo, OF
road or a tie, or spike, or u cigarette to
show for IL. Not a man who has been en-
gagged in these iniquities has been arrested,
prosecuted or punished. Not only this
but the chief among them has been sent by
the Republican party To the United States
Senate. These things must be righted by
the Legislature. Behind the Alliance stand
the shadowy legions OF all the good and
great who have died for the prosperity and
liberty OF mankind.
ON the vote later in the day Ignatius
Donnelly was chosen President Of the State
Alliance by $40 votes against 1l3 for his
opponents.

London is constantly being Mortified at

cident. At Brixton, "A portion OF London,
on the Surrey side OF the Thames, a
woman who gave the name of Mrs.
Reeves, and who is known TO
have figured under several aliases,
was arrested on the complaint of
her neighbors for carrying on the illegal
business known as "baby farming" When
the police searched her residence they
found eight emaciated filthy, sickly babies
crowded into one small, ill-ventilated room.
Apparently the infants were in starving

Two distinct earthquake shocks with but
a few seconds intermission occurred at San
Francisco at 1900 Friday afternoon. The
vibrations were nearly north and south.
Reports from Gilroy, Santa Cruz, Modesto,
Stockton, and u number OF other points
indicate that the earthquake was quite
generally felt in Central California.
No damage is reported beyond the
breaking OF some glass articles. Prof.
L. 5. Holden. OF the Lick Observatory at
