Dakota Ruralist, Huron, S. d. saws:
mo better evidence is desired that the
Alliance is Going splendid work than is
shown in the fact that the entire parti-
san press of the country is unitedly en-
gagged in a war to break it down. 1t is
thoroughly understood by the power
behind the throne of party, that the
success of the principles advocated by
the Farmers Alliance and industrial or.
gal lzations means the destruction of
present political parties, as we'll as to
take from money the power it now pos
sesses TO rob production. Brethren,
resist the effort by putting more zeal in
your labor"

The Neaes Reporter Three Rivers.
Mich. says; 1.-The land currency and
the sub-tr, asury system of finance has
shocked the natl nal bankers of New
York and New England out of their
wits. Large contribution of money
have been made by the national bankers
and sent down South to be used in cities
where national banks and newspapers
have controlling influence. The
Southern states have, as compared to the
North, but u few cities and national
banks through which an overwhelming
influence can be arrayed against the
farmers, The Alliance farmers of The
South comprise three fourth of the
voting population. lhey are well
organized, vigilant and desperate
ly in earnest. To all appear
ances the money contributed in the East
and sent to the cotton States will not pan
out as 1t was expected. When the daily
press OF the South opened fire on the AL
lance all at one time there was no sur
prise or shocking fleet The farmers
were posted when parties from the South
went East for Doodle, with which an as
surance was given that the Alliance craze
should be checked, if not souelched.
There need be no fear for the Alliance at
the South except it be through over con-
fidence in trusted leaders who are suscep-
tible of briber influence. Betrayal of
confidence may not be as safe in the
South as it is here, but there are those
who will take the chances the Alliance
may rest assured.

A NATURAL FOUNTAIN.
COL. BRACKENRIDGE is NOW
RICH.
He has One Billion Of Diamonds
OF Purest Ray Washed to His
Feet Every Day.

To be born lucky is better than to be
ushered into this world in golden
chariot or rocked in silver cradle says
the old axiom. To be born both, lucky
and rich, is better, and this is fully
proven in the case in point, that of
Col. Geo. w. Breckenridge, the we'll
known banker and water king of this
city. Not satisfied with the splendid
water privileges owned by this gentle
man, has found splendid artesian
water in his first we'll, on his proper
ty on Market street, near the Market
street bridge, but the water which
gushed up, at the incision of the
large S.inch drill, at depth of $50
feet, at IL o'clock last night, far sur
passed anything in the expectation Of
Col. Breckenridge, or of the citizens
in general. A depth that reached a
fine flow of water had been struck, last
week, and a charge of dynamite was
exploded Mon day night, but did not
materially increase the flow. The
drill was again inserted and a few
feet lower the water was struck in
such volume that further drilling is
not necessary. The stream PUSHES up
with force that causes the derrick
and foundations to tremble. 1t is s
inches wide and the stream thrown,
reaches q solid column three
to four feet high, and is pure,
sweet and clear as crystal. In the
sunlight 1t sparkles like diamonds,
and millions of gallons pour forth
every day. An estimate places the
flow per day of "a hours at from two
to three millions Of gallons
1t Is the intention of Col. Bracken-
ridge to pipe this water into large
reservoir to be located in the city.
This will probably he a standpipe
reservoir.
Crowds of citizens visited the we'll
today and all express wonder and
pleasure at the find.
