At the meeting of the Copiah Ali
ance President Guyncs spoke words
of soberness and truth when he add
monished the brethren that this years
contest is but skirmish in COMPARE
son with the struggle Alliance men
must make next year, when besides Il
President Of the United States, an en-
tirely new set Of Congressman are to
be elected. 1t doesn't matter what
the outcome of the present struggle
in Mississippi, we must close up all
gaps in the ranks and press right on,
bent upon final victory.

The Meridian Standard, stalwart
George champion, but which always
tries to be fair, has this to say of
Major Barksdale:
AS a member of Congress the Major
was faithful to the interest of his con-
stituents, as he saw things, or he was
nothing. He made an admirable
Congressman, and the Standard is
glad to be able to say so much for
him. He was attentive, energetic and
faithful to his duties there.

Alliance men everywhere should
take special care to note that the most
desperate efforts are being made by
''big" politicians and big newspa-
pcrs to divert the attention of the peo-
pie from financial or monetary reform
to some other matter. Democrats are
making Il desperate struggle to have
the tariff made the great issue. Re
pnblicans are dropping back into the
Of Scctionalism again,
and trying to excite the hatred of
brother against brother; and both are
fighting with all their power and with
all their soul the Alliance and its de-
mands. Let these things be kept CON
stantly in view, and let every man
now do his own thinking. If he will
save himself and preserve his free
right to an'equal chance with all 9TH
ers i'll his own country, he must think.

The nine million of mortgages on
the homes of the people of these
United States is the most palpable
and convincing argument that can be
adduced that there is something fear
fully wrong in our financial system !;
and that a radical change is impera-

Its Disastrous Results.

There is white-haired old friend lIv-
ing i'll Chester county whose face wears
an expression of deep sorrow that seems
craven there.~ Friends who have known
him for twenty-five years have the first
smile to see on his broad, furrowed face
He is wonderfully benevolent and
kindly old Quaker, especially to the col
ored people, who come to him for miles
around for counsel and assistance.
There is a shadow OH the old mans
life, of which few of his friends have
any idea. 1t was cast away back in the
war times. His home had been sta
ton on the underground railway" and
10 his home one night came a bright
eyed, ebony-skinned little runaway of
about fourteen years. He was such a
quick-witted, clipper little chap that
the kind-hearted Quaker concluded to
keep him to run errands and do chores
about the farm, especially as he pleaded
so hard to be allowed to stay. 1t was
not long, however, before he developed

A good birch switch would hold him in

NESS AND HIS PULL"
Will 1t Make Him Captain at the
Central Station?

Some time ago there was talk. of
changes in the police department. 1t
was rumOred that several of the officers
in charge of stations would be switched
around. The rumors have been re-
Yived.
1t is said now that one of the changes
slated for immediate enactment is a
switch of Capts. Day and Ness. Capt.
Day is in charge of the Central station
and Capt. Ness is stationed in South
Minneapolis. Capt. Day bears an ex-
cellent record as an officer. The reason
for the rumOred change is not clear.
Supt. Henderson denies that any
change is contemplated, but the
superintendent is always extremely
reticent about any matter con-
nected with the police department. At
any rate the rumOr is abroad as coming
from at least semi-Official source. 1t
is known, too, that Capt. Ness stands
very high with the superintendent of
police: some people say he stands higher
than any other man in the department.
Just where Capt. Ness gets his pull"
has been worrying a good many pOliti-
clans ever since the 1st of January. The
plan of running police department on
political basis prepares the public to
expect certain number of dismissals
as soon as there is a change in the ap-
pointing power. Last fall it was eX-
pected that Ness would be about the
first to 60 for various reasons. not the
least of which was his especially
active partisanship during the cam
paign. Several South Minneap-
oils Democrats against whom he
had worked had his name ali
written out in large letters in their
black books. One of these was Aid.
Lars NJ. Rand. But the days rolled by
and Ness was still on the police force.
He was there stronger than ever. Rand
did his best to have him removed, but
there was "nary a move" This Ness
matter was what caused the first rupt-
ure between the mayor and the alder
man from the Sixth ward. The dis
agreement was mentioned at that time.
1t has continued ever since. not openly,
of course, but indirectly. Some local
Democrats have got into the habit of
saving, "Rand's name on petition for
all appointment means the rejection of
the Petition This rumOT of Ness adj
vancement-for from the Third precinct
10 the central station is advancement
gives color to the theory that there is
some power working in the interest of
Ness that is even more potent than
aldermanic influence.
