EDITORIAL NOTES.


Sam Jones IS firing ungramatical
broadsides of salvation slang into
the ranks Of New York sinners. but
no breaks are observable IL their
lines, although they contribute lit
orally to pay the Rev. Sam, for the
amusement ne furnishes them.
They have queer ideas over in
Australia. The minister of educa-
ton mas suspended one Of the most
successful school teachers Just be-
cause she prayed for the death of
her husband. If her husband was
anything like the husbands of some
self supporting women we know she
was justifable in praying for his
death, and more deserving of sympa-
thy than censnre.
The short crops in Europe make
IT almost certain that there will be
no war there this year, notwith-
standing the strained relations be-
tween France and Germany,
The idea of nationalizipg the mil:
TIA of the States and placing the
whole under the command Of the

should be dropped at once. We want

A farmer from New Auburn, who
says he is not member of the al
lance there asks us two questions:
1st.-"Is Miss Mcdonald an editor
of the GREAT WEsT?" No sir.
2d.-"Was she ever?" No sir.
And then he goes on to state that
she was made a member of an al
lance there on that basis by a reso-
luton which read that she was an
editor of G. W.
Miss Med. contributed three let
tiers, we believe, to the G. W. nearly
two years ago! Without consulting
her or anyone, we put the articles
under a special head. That made
her responsible for nothing. Her ar
ticles were "edited" the same as any
correspondents. That was about a
year and half before she was palm
ed off as an "editor OF the GREAT
WEST" Better go and join the al
lance, Mister, and then we will ans
swer the other questions.

Whereas, A circular letter was
sent to the chairman OF the indie
pendent Political Convention held in
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 10Th day OF
May, 1891, by the late State Central
Committee of the state farmers al
lance of said state, asking said con-
vention to allow delegates appointed
by said committee to be heard, and
represent the Minnesota State F. arm
ers' Alliance, thereby causing trouble
and leading other states to believe
that MINI. was divided, and had
sent double delegation-when in
fact only one delegate appointed by
said committee was present and she
claimed that she had no credentials
from said committee-therefore,
Resolved, that Alta Vista AL
lance, No. ISL denounce in unmeas-
ured terms the action OF land COM
mittee in sending delegates to said
convention, under the pretense of
in any manner representing the
State Farmers Alliance of said state.
Resolved, That we fully endorse

ton, and pledge to it our hearty
support from now until the close of
of the ballot box in 1892.
