AAMuW Sore Limb
Flesh n Mass of Disease. Con-
ditiOn Hopeless. Cured by
the Cuticura Remedies.

For three years was almost crippled
with an awful sore leg from my knee down
to my ankle; the skin was entirely gone,
and the flesh was one mass Of disease.
Some physicians pronounced 1t incurable,
1t had diminished about one third the size
OF the other, and / was in hopeless con-
dition. Alter trying all kinds Of reme-
dies and spending hundreds OF dollars,
from which / got no relief whatever, |
was persuaded to try your CUTIcURA RE-
NEEDLES, and the result was as follows.
After three days l noticed a decided
change for the better, and at the end of
two months l was completely cured. My
flesh was purified, and the bone (which
had been exposed for year, got sound.
The flesh began to grow, and to-day, and
for nearly two years, my leg is as well as
ever it was, sound in every respect, and
not sign of disease to be seen.

A Winter Paradise.

Our English word paradise" comes
frome the GREEK PARADEIsos, the
primary Specification Of which is
pleasure park, such as was attached
to the residences of monarchs, in
which rare animals were gathered from
strange lands, and in which also beasts
were preserved for the chase. In this
meaning of the word, the southern
portion of the United States, particu-
larly the states bordering on the gulf of
Mexico, may fairly be called winter
Paradise. While the residents of the
upper Mississippi, Valley are in the
midst of snow and ice, and buffeted by
winter storms, the pleasant cities and
towns OF Louisiana, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Georgia and Florida are en-
bosomed in green trees and blooming
flowers, while breezes from the salt
sea and the pine woods alternate in
giving health and enjoyment to the
dweller there, The favorite line, giving
choice OF routes via either Chicago or
st. Louis, for visitors from the North
west to Southern resorts, is .'The

In the house, on Thursday last, Me-
Allister, (dem.) OF Hennepin Co., for
merly, of Swift Co., land Pope Co. moved
to have a reading clerk appointed at
$3.50 a day. He made a famboyant
speech in favor of this little economi-
cal plan. The matter was debated by
Diment of Owatonna in strong
speech against the pay Of $3.50 per
day. Others claimed that the "ardu-
Gus duties" deserved it. No one
laughed at the statement.
Gildea, of Pipestone, maintained
that $500 per day was sufficient.
Mr.. Diment stated that regiment
could be obtained for $500 a day.
The 81. so day feature was defeated.
And it is to be said to the credit of the
Republicans that they aided in
squelching it.

The St. Paul Globe, a liar of note,
stated in Sundays issue that Ignatius
Donnelly and the GREAT WEST are now
enemies. That is, of course, a false
hood. It then says that we were
"mad" because we didn't print the
$1,000 copies Of the constitution. On
the other hand it was the GREAT
WEST who went unsolicited to the Ex-
ecutive Committee and urged them to
give the printing to Minneapolis
printer, who offered to print it free for
certain amount of advertising, as
we were unable to undertake it in
that way. The Globe says that we
were summoned before the Executive
Committee to answer, etc." This is
too contemptibly false for even such
an old scar as the Globe. Every
statement made in the article is a
filthy falsehood. It refers to the
"F'ish" and the "Austin" Insurance
companies. DR.. Fish has no interest,
visible or invisible, as officer, member
or incorporation. of any insurance
company, nor has DR.. Frain. The
scurrilous malignity of the Globe is
profound in it's meanness. Wecannot
believe that Miss Mcdonald inspires
or writes these reports of proceedings
Her position as reporter for the paper
has caused a statement to that effect.
But such downright falsehood and
Misrepresentation OF the Alliance
could not come from her.

We regret the fact that the In
dustral Age does not prosper better.
If it would sever it's relations with
the city Alliance forces and the Daily
News, and join hands with the G.. w.
in honest work it would find the field
large enough for all reform papers.
1t is now proposed to organize a joint
stock company and float it. Il. c..
Hodgson is working the thing up, and
several members of the legislature, we
understand, are ready to put up their
money and salt down their experience
for future use. We shall be glad, of
course, to see real Alliance paper
established. 1t is not stated yet
whether the same name will be con-
tinued. Courage, Mr.. Griggsby, there's
a graveyard full Of good bones, but
bright flowers oft bloom on some OF
the graves.

member of the Senate) in violation
of all constitutional law, a document
was spread on the records of the SEN
ate, of a dirty, vituperative character.
That was the John-Day- Smith Don
nelly episode. But this week came the
great protest of a majority of the SEN
ate, written by Donnelly, and signed
by 20 members-ordered endorsed by
% to 20. 1t is masterpiece, and al
though too late for this week in whole

The matter of making the GREAT
WEST the official organ in full, by a
vote of the local Alliances, came up be-
fore the Executive Committee last
week. The editor was present for an
other purpose, and stated his views in
the matter-viz: that paper should
not be official so far as editorial work
was concerned. The G. w. is now be-
coming so thoroughly known through
out the United States that it should
have free swing. OF course there are
persons who think we have gone too
far. We do not think so. The G. w.
has fought good fight-asquare fight
AN honest tight-and we have a con
science to lay at the foot of a throne
where honor is respected. Still, we
are anxious to have the Alliances vote
on the question as to whether the G..
w. shall be official in all necessary re-
spects.

The Farm, Stock and Home is mad
because the GREAT WEST was made
"official'' so far as the publication OF
official matter is concerned. Mr..
Owen says in several places that the
Alliance is a political party" Now
we suggest that that is not true or
fair statement The Alliance is not a
political party-nor can it be by it's
constitution. Any Alliance man can
vote for any party he pleases-if he
pleases. The Alliance is an agricultu-
ral association to care for the COM
mercial and juridical interests of the
farmers. None but farmers can belong
to it. Our advice to Mr. Owen is to
join the body which did 80 much to
make him governor-and then give us
all the good advice possible.

Subtreasury.

The following is commended to the
attention of the Daily News, Of st.
Paul, the balmy Alliance organ on one
of it's six Sides It is clipped from the
National Economist.
Zone of the most absurd pieces of fol-
ly yet INDUCED in by the ultra-partisan
press, who are blindly opposed to
everything that the Alliance has done Or
proposes to do, is the flooding of their
columns since the Ocala meeting with
statements calculated to convey the
idea, directly or indirectly, that the
Ocala meeting of the National Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union fall
ed to indorse the subtreasury plan. A
greater falsehOod was never attempted
to be perpetrated upon the people. The
plan was not only Endorsed the same as
it was in St. Louis, by re-indorse-
ment of the St. Louis platform in the
strongest terms but by the addition
of another and specific demand in
which it was mentioned, and also by
a vote indorsing the sub-treasury bill
by name as it lies in the Ways and
Means Committee room of Congress,
and calling upon Congress to pass
that bill. This shows a most prodig-
ious growth in sentiment in regard to
that measure during the last year.
Such Endorsement of the bill would
have been strongly opposed at the
St. Louis convention, but at Ocala it
was so nearly UNANIMOUS that only
four members of the body voted
against the adoption Of the sub-treas-
ury bill by name as above stated.
Why, i'm the face of this these papers
should have the audacity to speak
out to a reading public and say the
Ocala meeting failed to indorse the
sub-treasury plan is one of the
mysteries that must remain unsolved
until they make a confession OF their
sins.

A MuSkrat Farm.

Considerable interest attaches nova
days to the suggestion that the state
establish muskrat farm for the pur-
pose OF making observations. The
suggestion came in all good faith for a
prominent member of the signal crops,
who held that as so much stress was
laid W ION the thickness of the walls of
a muskrat's home as an Indication of
mild or severe winters, it would pay
the state to found on experimental
station, where the jovial rodent and
the somewhat retiring ground-hog
might be reared at public expense and
their habits recorded for the benefit of
the public veal. 1t would then be
easy to determine fully, and without
the aid OF an expensive arm of govern
ment, whether cold day was coming.
1t IS always a very cold day

not take The Saint Paul &

Day Smith got the start of Ignatius

business consisted simply of the intro
duction of a protest" of the Republi-
cans against the majority ruling a leg
islative body. The protest" was
couched in uncourteous language, Mr..
Donnelly moved the exclusion of that
language. The chair ruled the motion
out Of order. Mr.. Donnelly appealed.
Ives, the president refused to allow
any appeal! And that is all there is to
it. Gentlemen, put not your trust in
what the daily papers say. There is
scarcely a shadow of truth in their
accounts.

The Alliance Majority Has a Level

In the following account Boyd was
the Republican candidate, Thayer the
occupant holding over, and Powers

from the Missouri World:
LINCOLN, NEB., Jan. 8.-All doors of
Representative Hall were closely
guarded this morning and none but
members of the Legislature, State Of
ticers and persons having business in
side were admitted. All the members
were on hand promptly, although they
found g1eat difficulty in pushing their
way through the crowds that fill the
corridors and besieged the Capitol at
all points. The Alliance members had
taken possession of the House at 5
O'Clock this morning. They placed the
Speaker in the chair, and put a cor
don of assistant sergeants-at- arms
around him. When Lieut.. Gov. Nickel
john appeared, he was not allowed to
take his seat, but stood in front of the
Speaker ready to call the joint session
to order. At o'clock the Speaker
issued an order for the arrest of Lieut.
Gov. Mieckeljohn on the charge of
misconduct in Office and breach of the
peace. The Lieutenant Governor de-
fed the officer and was not taken in
to custody. Both sides had force of
sergeants-at-arms within call and any
attempt on either side to proceed
with the canvass of the vote would
have precipitated in row. To avoid
