in the United States The present contro-
versy between America and Italy is viewed
with no little satisfaction at Berlin, aud

German press generally. The motive is
not so much unfriendliness TO the United
States as TO put a stop TO German emigra-

yerely felt in the lack Of laborers for agri-
culture The Conservative party and the
large land holders generally are IN favor Of
prohibiting emigration for all except Jews
as is done in Russia. The government i,

hatchet, and when he finally desisted the
woman's skull was crushed TO bleeding
mass. Both her arms We're almost severed
from the body, having been cut while she
raised them in an endeavor to ward of the
blows. Hallingar then attempted to kin
himself. He had cut himself severely
about the head when the police arrived

woman to again live with him was the
reason given by the murderer for his terri.

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE.
WARSAW n O..

w ARSAW, N. y.
MR. EDITOR:-The questions before
us today are of very grave Importance.
They are questions that we cannot dis
regard, but should be weighed by us
in the most accurate b alanceS of reason
and sound judgment, The Alliance,
from the little spark that was kindled
it Parker county, Texas, more than q
dozen years ago, has grown into i'm
mense proportions. The Qittle) mustard
seed that was planted in the Lone Star
State, has sent its roots downward and
spread it's branches outward till it has
grown into a national tree, under
which the tOiling masses of this repub-
lie are rushing for shelter from the
malignant storm Of monopoly. The
grand basal principles upon which the
Alliance was founded and sent out to
the people of this nation, are right.
The managers and leaders have made
very few mistakes so far. They nave
educated the members of this grand
body in the economic and important
governmental questions Of the times,
and have to q great extent allayed sec
tiOnal hatred, engendered by the war,
and kept up by little partisans. They
have, in a great measure, united the
people, of common interest. for
change in the financial system Of this
government The people are aroused
to their interest through this great
organization. The nOn-partisan spirit
in which the Alliance has acted has
been the most potent lever in the re-
suits attained, The brotherly love
among themselves and their charity
toward all mankind, have drawn all
gOoC E4en toward it, either in sy ympathy
or admiration. Thousands, disgusted
with the unholy war between political
leaders of both the Democratic and
the Republican parties, have united
themselves with the Alliance, believing
it the only means Of furnishing the
politics of the country and bringing
about a better state Of things, than
now exist.
Should the Alliance continue its non
partisan tactics, and with vigOr push
to the front it's reform demands, there
is no power under the sun that can
stop it's universal march, or can hinder
it from obtaining the government re-
form it seeks. The great upheaval Of
the labOrlng classes Is due to education.
They have, heretofore labOred on
blindly, hoping that every year times
would be better, and their OnerOus
burdens would be ightened. They
have been loyal to party and partisan
leaders. They have heard from the
partisan press, and the enthusiastic
politician, that glory and prosperity
lie in the path Of the Democratic or
Republican party. They tell you to
stand by your colors and put IN your
votes to the party that gives you Nc
Kinley tariff bill, which puts money
into the great manufacturers pockets,
the favored few, and draws it from the
toiIing masses, by indirect taxes on the

in every instance repUdiated and
proven them as such malicious and
cOwardly misrepresentation; therefore
be it
ResOIUed, By Liberty Alliance, No

mend every word and sentiment ex-
pressed by our said editor as the truas

PRESIDENT POLK.
A California Welcome.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct %, 81.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct %, '91.
The recent visit of Col. l. l.. Polk.
National President of the, Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, has
aroused the greatest enthusiasm in
California. Immense crowds have
hung with rapG attention upon his
elOouent utter Lnces. He has done a
splendid work for the Alliance and has
put it in a position to win a magnificent
victory. He has made thousands o
warm personal friends on this coast
who will watch his future career with
the deeDest interest. Perhaps the most
notable thing that he has done here IS
to have captured the hearts OF the
Union soldiers by his brave words IN
favor Of fraternity and unity. On
Monday evening. the 10Th inst, over
three hundred Union veterans of the
war paid him the compliment of call
ing upon him in a body at the VOdeOn
hotel accompanied by all of the mem
berS Of the State Alliance. - Lead by a
fife and drum and carving the
United States flag they marched into
the corridor Of the hotel and drew up
in military order. They were accom-.
panied by delegation Of ex- Confeder-
ate soldiers who marched elbow to
elbow with the boys in blue. Many of
the old soldiers were accompanied by
their wives. The long corridors,
crowded with ladies and gentlemen,
the martial music, the high military
bearing of the grizzled veterans and
the glare Of electric lights made a
memorable scene. 1t was the first
me citing of the kind ever held in the
United States and California is proud
OF being able to do little honor to a
gallant son of the old North State.
At the 70 t of the stair case stood
President Polk. Upon either side of
him rested the stars and stripes.
Gen. IL. IL. BOyce greeted President
Polk, and in brief speech, on behalf
OF the veterans, welcomed him to the
city. Col. J. S Barbee, a member of
the Stonewall brigade, next made
few appropriate remarks, after which
President Polk was introduced. After
thanking the audience for their kind
ness, he spoke substantially as fol-
lows:
