Atty John w. Arctander, of the
law firm of Arctander & Arctander,
Minneapolis, has been in almost con-
slant attendance, lately, upon the
legislature, caring forlabor interests.
They have drawn and examined bills,
briefs and statements, and been
ready with counsel. What makes
this a matter OF deep interest is that
this work has been almost entirely
free OF expense, even to the printing
of the briefs. The senior member of
the firm has had struggles, and, we
understand, has even experimental
with prison life, owing to his views
and vigorous expression OF them in
the old country. The labor men ap-
preciate their friendship very highly.

Senator McHale, of Scott County,
democrat, deserves the thanks of the
moral citizens of this state and the
entire country, for the eloquent and
radical stand he takes against the
bawdy costumes of the modern
stage. We are no enemy to legiti-
mate stage-but we. believe that the
daily press degrades itself by defend
ing the custom Of putting troops of
girls on the stage to parade before
the youth of the land without a
stitch of clothing on except a pair of
skin-fitting tights and an elastic
bodice. On the part of the citizen
ship who are not ssstuck" on that
kind of "art'' we thank Senator
McHale for his eloquent efforts. Sem

OF THE GREAT VEST:

OF THE GREAT WEST:
Some alliance men, / understand.
are complaining because l took nv
share of the appropriation for report
ers-and complaining Of the GREAT
WEST. left a salaried position in
the G. W. office to report, without
any pay whatever-and, truly, 1
thought that worked hard enough
to deserve some compensation. But
l never asked it. did not ask to have
my name put on the list. I never
asked q senator to vote for it. hui
morously asked Senator Mott how
ne would vote, and he said promptly
that he would vote against it. DR..
Fish, when he was told of the CONVEX
satlon, sent word at once to Mr..
Mott that he was right. The DR.. and
several friends consulted as to what
would be the right course to pursue,
and he instructed me asfollows: 'sDo
nothing to aid the bill. If it passes,
and the others get paid, you take
yours too-and keep it yourself. The
oficedon't want cent of it," This
meant something to me, as l have
my own account. I,believe that Mr..
Donnelly voted for the appropriation
about 81 200 I believe-from q
sense that it was just, although the
amount was too large. Remember,
farmers, that this state does not pub
lish a journal for distribution as does
other states, and reporters, even
though unfair men or women, are
compelled to be on the alert con-
stantly, if faithful, and all their
other work is crowded over. Atleast,
that is my view of it. was the only
unsalaried reporter there, and my
conscience is clear-except that I
think 500 for ITO days would have
been more reasonable. I think I
earned the money.

guages, viz: English, Norwegian
Swedish, German and French, and
they instructed Miss Mcdonald tc
make contract with you on those
terms. To now refuse to carry out
! this contract will be great injury to
the State Alliance, because it especial.
ly desired the report of our annual
meeting, with the speeches, platform
and proceedings, in the seven Ian
guages named, to distribute among
the several nationalities, with a view
to increasing the membership of the
Alliance among them. Nor can we
expect the GREAT WEST to renew, at
this time, it's offer, as the spring ad-
vertising is now all given out.
Under these circumstances. and in
asmuch as there will be a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the
State Farmers Alliance in less than
two weeks from this date, 1 must re-
quest you to proceed no further in
the printing OF said report, but to re-
turn the copy OF the same to me. AL
so please return to me the original
MS. OF the constitution of the State
Alliance. It is very important that
it be carefully preserved.
When the Executive Committee
meets on the Dist inst, shall SUBJ

action as it may see fit to take. 1

knudson, of Blue Earth, cast the
one vote in the House against the
Tawney (Hompe) R. R. bill.a His
reason was that there was absolute
~ nothing in the bill to call for it's
passage, and as matter of legisla-
ton it was useless and superauous.
Mr.. KnudsOn was the most sensible
man in the House. That bill ought
to brand Hompe as a traitor to
the Farmers Alliance. Even Harry

praises it. Thirty-seven senators
voted for it and one against-seven

There is no earthly object in Albert
Warren or Darlington Phelps making
any financial report now, of that
Campaign Committee. Itmight sim
ply be ''Doctored up" There would
be some enormous amounts for Sta
tionery and Printing; travelling ex-
penses OF speakers, and pay; adver-
Using and halls, etc., etc., etc., of
which not one item in ten ever occur
red.
Does any one suppose that men
who contributed 500 each and then
drew $50, would account for the
money used to buy them a newspa-
per-two OF them? Yes, it is quite
rich for journal like the G. w. to
see it's friends pouring in the cash to
give such men paper to destroy us
with. But so long as farmers come
to a convention without vinegar in
their pockets, and rocks in their
hearts they will do just such things.
Now, there wasn't q genuine coward
in the whole convention. The differ
ence was this:
The Sanity City -farmer-what's-in-
it-for-me gang went there for business
and attended to it. The radicals
went there to whoop-er-up for har-.
mony, and they attended to it. And
the whoop er-ups got left, of course.
Stromberg, a Hall-Scheffer attache,
was cheered into the Secretaryship;
Biorge, the merchant-d ollar-for-La-
throp-gold-watch man, went in for

porter for the Daily Globe, friend of

A gentleman came into our office
this week Wednesday morning, and
said: "Doc.. you're not radical

you-print it"
We read it over and behold it was

''What name shall we put to it?''
we asked.
ono name-it's editoriaHit's your
writing it in.''
That we will, and here it is:
Farmers of Minnesota! Members
OF the Alliance! do you want har-
mony with those who are traitors to
the cause? Will you stand idly by
and say you don't like the GREAT
WEsT-that DR.. Fish is too radical,
while at the same time men like Al
bert Warren are receiving the money
you so generously donated at the
annual meeting to defray supposed
campaign expenses-with an unkept
promise that an itemized statement
would be made showing what dispo-
sition was made of the money? To
this day no report is made and you
don't know for what purpose this
money was used? Can it be possible
that many of you gave money not
to defray campaign expenses, but to
sustain paper that would antagon-
ize the G. W? Where is that promised
report? For what was the money
paid? Farmers, we must have some
radical treatment. Treatment like
Senator Donnelly has tried to give
us in the Senate but failed for the
want of support-not only from
members in the Senate, but from GER
tain papers who are passing as ALI
ance papers! How is it possible for
the Alliance to gain anything while
part OF the Alliance is fighting the
leaders? Farmers, come to the
front, and stand by those who stand
by you, and never talk .harmony"
until every traitor is driven from the
ranks. Then, and not before. let us
have harmony. If the G.. W. is too
radical and you must have soft soap
and whitewash say the word and
we'll give you soft soap and white
wash till you can't rests What say
you, farmers? Which will it be?

President Donne||y's Letter
In Regard to the Constitutions
SENATE CHAMBER.
ST. PAUL, April, 8th, 1891.
THOMAS A. CLARKE, Esq,
Minneapolis, MINI.

minneapolis, MINI.
DEARSIR:-Ihave received, through
a third party, a copy of the constitu-
ton of the State Farmers Alliance,
printed by you. l desire to say, as
president of the organization, that it
is very far from satisfactory to me.
The paper is poor; the whole look of
the thing is meant does not contain
the name OF the officers; and it has
not even title-page. 1t looks more
like the advertisement of a Dime
Museum than the constitution of q
great society with $4,000 members.
am also informed by Secretary
Stromberg that you have stated to
him that although you had taken the
job of printing $1,000 copies OF the
proceedings of our last annual meet
ing, and our constitution in seven
different languages, to wit: English,
Swedish, Norwegian, German, French,
Bohemian and Polish, and to take
your pay in advertising 10 oe secured
by you, that you now propose to
print a smaller number in English
alone, and not to print the proceed
ings in any other language. 1t is my
duty to notify you that this is not in
accordance with our contract. The
State Lecturer, Miss Mcdonald, in
formed the State Executive Commit
tee, that you were readyto print 81
900 copies of the proceedings in
seven different languages, and look
for your paw, to the advertisements
on the fly sheets of the same to be
procured by you. Onthe strength OF
this statement the Executive Com
mittee refused to give the job to the

which offered to print them, on the

List Of Secrstaries.

List Of Secretaries.
Last week the G. W. made the dis
tinct charge that Secretary Strom-
berg had furnished President Don
nelly with an old mailing list OF Sec
retaries, which was worthless, while
he and others Of the state-house ring
had the correct one prepared under
orders Of the Executive Committee.
To this explicit charge Stromberg
replies as follows:
FOREST LAKE, Mimi,
April 18th, 1891.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
In answer to your statements on
the Sd [5th] page Of your paper dat
ed April 10th, referring to the State
Secretary's list of the local secretar-
les, ETC., l will only say that they are
falsehoods. And in regard to the last
statement I will add, that, in the ev-
ening Of April Ii asked our Honor
able President, Mr.. Donnelly, where
he ascertained those facts? And the
PRESIDENT answered, ri have made no
such statements to the Doctor, nor
ascertained any such facts" This
was said in the presence of Mr.. Ham,
lin V. Poore. A. L. STRoMBERG.
That is sublime audacity, Mr.. S.
Mr.. Donnelly never made that state
ment, nor did Mr.. Poore hear him
make it. But the President did state
that you had permitted him to keep
a typewriter busy day after day on
a worthless list!
Mr.. Donnelly did not furnish the
Doctor those facts-nor did we so
state for the very logical reason
that the Doctor furnished them to
Mr.. Donnely! We thought you had
played your little game too long, es-
pecially when you let those last i'm
portant circulars be addressed by
that list-in which not one hundred
secretaries are correct!
Let us get down to business:
The Elk. Com. ordered blanks prin-
ted to send out and get up a new list
months ago.
1t was done.
You and your friends have had it.
You were directed to furnish said
list to the President.
Did you do it?
Have you done SO up to date-the
18th inst?
No, you furnished him an old car
bOniferOus list in which there are en-
tire counties without a living ALI
ance (out of 9 to 2O) chronicled-but
alliances dead five years brilliant
with secretaries long since in heaven
or now opposed to the alliance!
We think old Mower Co. has one
real secretary out of fourteen to
twenty. When Stromberg was asked
about the Dexter Alliance, which did
not show up, he said, "That's dead!''
How does it feel to be dead, Dec?
1st.-H HAVE you furnished the
President with your list?
2d.-Dare you make oath as to
who got it through you?
3d.-How long have you Honor
abled our stalwart President-except
by ministering to the wants OF his
bitterest enemies?

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-Tsrrible for

week in Eldorado County, and more thar
40 square miles of country have been
burned over. The flames spread over
Greenwood Creek County, and all the
country to the west of Garden Valley,
destroying many dwellings, barns, hay,
and thousands of acres of dry feed. Az
Pilot Hill the postoflice, town hall and
many residences were all burned.

one or two scattered buildings on the

the hills in that section of the country
has been destroyed, and the loss of stock
will be large in consequence. Farmers
