The q. w. Makes an Errer.

KERKHovEN, Mimi, June ID, 1891.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Allow me to correct an error in
your publication of the resolutions
adopted by the Kandiyohi County
Alliance on May 13. The resolutions
as you copied them from ''The Stand
ard" are correct, being officially pub
lished as furnished by the county Sec
rotary, E. J. Price. The following
resolution, which you state you have
received from Sec'y Owre was not
passed:
"Resolved: That we endorse the
action OF the Executive Committee OF
the Minnesota State Farmers AL
lance, in denouncing the late cam
paign committee and declaring it's
duties ended"
Neither do I know OF "Sec'y Owre"
in Kandiyohi County. Mr.. Price is
the secretary and the "Standard"
published the resolutions officially
and correctly. The resolution In re-
gard to the campaign committee is
as follows:
Resolved: That the Alliance cam
paign central committee did cease to
exist at the close OF the last election
in 1890
The whole is probably mistake.
H. w. Roll.
Bro. Roll has a clamp on us now
and we bend double in apologizing.
But 81. w., if you mean to say that
you don't know "Sec'y Owre," of the
Lake Lillian Alliance, you admit
that you are not acquainted with a
sound and stalwart alliance apostle.

"FOR INFLUENCE.
While at Springfield recently a
member of the lower house handed
us this document, remarking that it
was what knocked good legislation
in the head:
THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COM
PANY.
SPRINGFIELD, April IL, 1891.
DEAR SIR: When your stamps are
exhausted if you will return the COW
ers through this office will see that
your messages are sent D. H. until a
new book is received. Very respect
fully. j. Il. lNMANN.
Manager.
In plain English this means brib-
cry in the same sense that all mem
bers get passes on the railroads.
The stamps referred to are dead
heads" for twenty-word messages.
1t is hardly necessary to further
state that large numbers of members
avail themselves OF this courtesy"
and then when an important bill
comes up affecting the Western
Union or other kindred corporations,
they stand around on one leg and
fail to see anything in it for the pub
lie.
Shameful it is that only a few have
the fortitude or manhood to refuse
thus to be compromised"
Indeed it is shameful. Forty
thousand dollars worth OF passes
were issued to the late Wisconsin leg
islature-and passes were openly de-
Tended in the Minnesota House. It
looks pretty dark when bribery can
be defended in public.

H. r.. EAGLE & Co.

Wewish to call the attention of the
alliances to this House, located at 68
and 20, Wabash Ave-, Chicago.
They deal with the alliances and in
dividuals at wholesale rates. There
has been good deal OF feeling in
country villages about this trading
of farmers at wholesale stores-but
our advice to farmers is the same
that we would give to country deal
ers or any other human being-buy
where you can buy the cheapest
quality for quality. The H.R. Eagle
company have made a reputation on
groceries, and a thousand other arti-
cles. Their name is known all over
the west. Their sales in Iowa are
immense. They handle immense
quantities OF Binder Twine-and rope
as specialties. The members Of an
alliance can club together-even four
or five families-and order so that
freight will cut no figure at all. II
you have never looked this matter
up do so at once. We feel more like
encouraging trade with this house
because several Chicago houses re-
fuse to deal even with regularly es-
tablished and rated Alliance Business
Agencies. Send for their Catalogue.

The Navy Yard at Duluth.

The Navy Yard at Duluth.
There has been considerable laud-
able work in the interests of a. navy
yard at Duluth, "the Zenith City of
the Unsalted Seas" and serious at
tention is being given the matter by
those in authority. Sensible and
far-seeing people can see no reason
why the government should not es-
tablish navy yard at that most
advantageous point, for the scheme
is backed by reason and necessity.
Duluth's harbor is unquestionably
one OF the finest in the world; she
dominates one of the richest iron de-
posits extant; her timber supply is
practically inexhaustible; she is the
northern terminus OF The Saint Paul
& Duluth Railroad, which is even
now widely known as The Duluth
Short Line, and regarded as the best
rout for tourists desiring to go
from St. Paul and Minneapolis to
Duluth and West Superior, Or vice

Comments on Miss Mitchell's engage
ment appear to be the order of the day.
Many of tiem it seems to us, are very
much out OF taste. If the Duke de
Rochefoncould is true man, why should
not Miss Mitchell give her heart with
her hand, the same as any other young
lady, and in that case all we can do is to
wish for them both the blessings of a
happy life, and that theirs, may be one
more true home founded; blessing,
wherever it is, be it France or America,
and which we trust it may prove, and un-
til the contrary is known, for the sake OF
American womanhood. Do not let us
hear any more about our girls being in
the foreign market for sale, and knowing
Miss Mitchell we do not wonder at the

THANKSGIVING MINCE-MEAT.

AS Thanksgiving time draws near we
realize more than ever how many things
we have to be thankful for. Russia is
suffering from that terrible plague, the
famine. Though not so great as that
VISITED on Pharaoh and his people, it is
none the lesss terrible to those who suf-
fer in it.
How thankful we ought to be that the
fGiver OF all good" has given US abun-
dant crops, that we may fill our granar-
les and store-houses. but il is to be hoped
we will be ready and willing to help our
sister states or counties from%he bounty
of our store. and not hoard it up as did
the rich man in the Bible, and thus in
cur the displeasure of our Lord.
No doubt the calamity which lately
befell our beautiful city and left SO many
homeless, seemed to us great punish
ment for which we could in no wise
account. Yet ought we not to be truly
thankful that it was no worse? "God
worketh all things together for good, :"
and though it seems hard sometimes, we
should humbly bow our heads and say
'Thy will be doDe."
We should be thankful that our town
is rising like phoenix from the ashes
and that our business men are not
respondent, but can look through the
clouds and see clear and golden sky
: beyond.
We should be thankful that at last
our citizens have awakened to what was
needed by our farmers, and indeed all
the people in and around The Dalles and
have put on our grand old river, line
of steamers, and that they realize the
needs of the farmers and shall fulfill
their wants.
Providence permitting the peoples
boat, will not tie up for six months in
the winter time, but will enable those
living in Washington, off the line of the
railroad, to ship their goods IN winter as
well as summer.
Marion Hartland's recipe for mince-
neat is "to put in everything but the
rag-bag." 1 have often thought how
much our lives may be likened to mince-
meat. Some lives, in fact, all our lives
are made up of little things, which,
when put together in the right way, are
good, and credit to the maker. Some
lives, am sorry to say, have the rag
bag thrown in with the other things.
We that are in comfortable homes,
seated around cheerful fires, or bounti-
fully spread tables, with all whom we
hold dear near us, ought to thank our
Heavenly Father that we are not as
some, and ought to endeavor to brighten
even ones life with a morsel of Thanks.

Minneapolis was chosen as the place

Francisco only received s votes on the
informal ballot-Minneapolis is to be
congratulated because she was the sue
cessful competitor in the race. She
deserved success for her untiring energy
and vigorous intent to win. That city
is more desirable, as point for the
gathering OF the clans than further

SPECIAL 10 the OaZeLJt
DETROIT, Mich, May 25-This morning
the Presbyterian assembly resumed its
labors and took up the discussion of a
design for seal of the church. One party
favors cross, with a serpent twined about
1t as an emblem. while the opposition favors
the representation of an open bible. The
discussion waXed warm for IN hour and d
half, and was then put over until the after
noon.
The report of the committee on theological
SemlnarleS was made the first order for
Thursday morning. This will open up
Briggs case for discussion.
Rev. EbeneZer ErSkine, chairman of the
board for work among freedmen, made his
report this morning. The report showed
$50 churches under the boards control.
Two hundred churches had become self
sustaining. During the year moral train
ing school has been opened at Charlotte. n.
c. More funds are needed for the educa-
ton OF girls. Last years receipts We're
SIS, 600, with which II ,029 pupils, eighty
four schools and 49, teachers We're sup
ported y vigorous appeal was made for
the encouragement OF the work, coupled
with the request that the restriction as 10
expense be removed.
After the debate on the work among
freedmen the assembly devoted half an
haur of discussion TO the subject Of I'M
employed ministers. \ general central
office was proposed with d secretary
who should keep tab on unemployed
ministers and vacant pulpits.
The whole matter was postponed for
recess.
The debate on the seal of the church
finally wound up in the presentation of Il
dozen suggestions at once. Elder George
.junkin of Philadelphia, who was against
the serpent and cross design. moved to post
pone the whole matter, but the moderator
ruled him out of order.
One brother moved to put an open Bible
in the blank space, and Elder Ora
ham of Nebraska made an original
suggestion of substituting a lamb as sym
bolizing the savior. The whole matter was
finally recomIlitted for the committee to
ponder over for another year.
Rev. John Eaton opened the discussion on
the work among freedmen, in line with the
mornings business.
Before taking recess the assembly de-
cided to remove the financial restrictions
which have seriously hindered the work
among Southern negroes.
The assembly then adjourned until to-
morrow
