Miss Eva Mcdonald was married
last Tuesday, week, to Mr.. Frank
Valesch, one of the appointees OF Mr..
Merriam to the Labor Bureau. We
were not at all friendly to Miss Eva
as fighter against radical alliance
men-but as bride we shall wish her
a happy and a long life. She has
much ability and we trust that
they may add to her domestic wei
fare.

Why don't the GREAT WEST take
more interest in that wheat investi-
eating committee? Because the G.
W. is an honest journal, and it
knows the $4,000 fraud underlying
that business, and-time will tell.
We are glad to state that some new
facts have come to light-that is,
they have come to public light. The
fact that averages have accumulated
in the elevators and been shipped
out; that the farmers have suffered
from at least shadowy performances,
every one knows. When Hall re-
vamped the old Duluth shipments,
to make capital out of it, why didn't
he take up the history Of events but
eighteen months ago nearer home.
The Investigation" will fizzle-not
through dishonesty of the commit
tee perhaps. After it has fizzled, the
state can pay the bill! Now don't
say we do not want Investigation to
go on. We do. We want it on the
line of the GREAT WEST facts, and
not the self-interest conspiracy OF
men. Think of Eric Olson as an in
vestigator of wheat frauds! Or Hall,
fresh from his Irvine history! OF one
thing we feel glad-that this miser-
able fiasco cannot be fastened on to
the Executive Committee of the ALI
ance. When the alliance moves we
hope it will move against robbers in
such a manner, and with such pur-
pose, as will do more than to put
thousands of dollars into the peck
cts of the investigators-and end
there.
For the additional facts which
have come out we feel grateful. They
are very small, but certainly useful.

Alliance men, get ready for the
stern conflict OF 1892. You may not
at first realize it, but you are now
members OF a great National Party
the "People's"-and as populists
you have duties to perform. This is
your own party. You own it. You
control it-and probably will for the
next 16 years-when it will itself re-
quire "dressing DOWN. Go to
work among your neighbors and
canvas. Get every man to work and
report to us. Let us know our
strength in your township. Get
every reformer to work.
We will preserve these reports
and some Of them will be published.
But get to work. Talk it to your
neighbors. Get the women to in

Begin now. Let the work be not
delayed single day. From now
until next March you have to solidi-

Organize! II you do not organize
more alliances, get the spirit OF Or

Get groups of three or four together
in the evening and drive over to

the GREAT WEST is taken in every

point. Do not put it off. Every

There are men who pretend not to-
but in their heart of hearts they DO
trust it. 1t is the one, great, strong,
powerful force-turning and over
turning the tremendous issues so
that you may have your armor on.
Take and encourage other alliance
papers, whether they agree with the

A DEMOCRATIC DIAGNOSIS OF THE
q, o. p.
(From the Bucyrus Forum. }


These are your classes of Republi-
cans-capitalists, office holders, office
seekers and dupes.
The capitalists own aud control the
party. They regulate its policy, dictate
its legislation and furnish the money to
buy the elections. In return the party
does everything possible to mako mo-
nopoly stronger and more profitable.
The Office holders do the dirty work
for the party. They draw the salaries
from the public treasures and secure
their masters, the capitalists, by hand
ling the millions of Doodle for the cor
ruption of the people and the ruin of
the nation. They do not know the
meaning of patriotism, craftsmanship
or love of country.
They obey the behests of the plutoc-
racy blindly for the reward of the spells
of office. This class also invent the
specious arguments on party questions
for the control of the dupes.
The Office seekers are the active and
faithful lieutenants Of the Office hold
ers vying with these in unscrupulous
methods to defeat the will of the peo-
Pile and intrench monopoly.
The lunk-heads are the non-think-
ers. They are not prejudiced, but are
go-easy people who allow the leaders to
do their thinking for them. They will
not examine the tariff, silver question,
or any of the great issues fairly and
weigh them in the scales Of thought.
They drift along lazily and happily In
blissful ignorance, allowing the bosses
to do their brain work and furnish ar
guments on political matters. They
are not bigots, but continue to vote the
Republican ticket because it would
cost too great on effort to think Of
making a change. The sons Of this
class as they come of age are the ones
apt to break away from the q. o. r.,
and these cause the leaders the most
trouble to retain. They have no ira
dition of active and prominent parti-
sanship to hold them to the party of
corruption and monopoly, and their
common school education has created
habits of thought that haunt the old
diec-in-the-wo fellows like night
mare. These are the bright young fell
lows that are flocking to the party of
equality and Justice, the party of toler-
ance and freedom-the grand old De-
mocracy.

Every body Eats Crackers.

Everybody eats crackers, and conse-
quently anything relating to their manu-
facture and sale is of general interest.
There was a time in the history OF the
business when crackers we're all about the
same. One brand was just about as good
enough to be any very great temptation to
a delicate stomach. That time has passed.
II was good many years ago. The
crackers OF the present day and genera
ton are as different as day from night.
There are good crackers and bad crack
ers; fresh crackers and stale crackers,
and of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the country
who sell stale, unpalatable crackers be-
cause they can get them cheap ana make
a big profit on them. They think their
customers don't know the difference, and
bye and bye when their cracker trade il

MAoeuEARY ON JONAH.

We are In receipt of the st. Louis
Republic of May 4, containing a very
good picture of the Rev. Howard Mac
Queary, with his sermon In full on
"Jonah and the Whale The Rev,
MacQueary seeks to prove in his ser
mon that the whale did not swallow
Jonah, and, consequently Jonah was
not entombed for three days in the
whales belly. We quote briefly from
the sermon:
"rhe wonderful miracles IL relates are
| simply incredible, unless wo had mos
overwhelming evidence. Suppose we were
| 10 read such stories in any other book
| say In the sacred books OF India or Greece
| 1--WE really do find stories similar 70 them
| In those books), would we not at once re
| ject them as fables, or demand the mos
conclusive evidence 70 prove them, Ol
course we would. Why, then, should We
| draw line at Jonah.n
While the Rev. MacQueary disputes
the whale record of Jonah, he does not
dispute that there was such man al
Jonah, and that he was gentleman
and man of affairs. He does not cast
aside the story of Jonah's misfortune
with the whale, as worthless
but he claims the story az
told has no intrinsic value to modern
Christians. And here is the Rev. Mac
Queary's version of Jonah's experience
and of the origin Of the Bible account
of his being swallowed:
"The Israelites at that time we're In
| communication with Assyria, and II it
| highly probable that Jonah, being disgust
| ed and discouraged in his work under the
| wicked King of Isreal, should go to Nine
| veh and preach. When Jonah's history
was written, long years afterward, all
sorts OF wonderful stories would have
arisen concerning his missionary journey
IL would be quite natural 10 say that he
had tiled to avoid the performance OF his
duty, and TO escape Jehovah by fleeing
over the sea, but was arrested by a Cod
sent storm, and fish, which conveyed
him, nolens volens, to the Assyrian coast,
1t would be natural TO magnify his success
in preaching to the Ninevites, and thus we
would get our Book Of JONAH"
The Rev. MacQueary thinks the ac-
count of Jonah's experience with the
whale is not accurate, because 1t was
written some 200 years after Jonah's
death. Concede this to be true. Now
on this basis how can we be expected
to believe the Rev. MacQueary's &C
count of Jonah, written some 249l years
after Jonsh's death. Without knowing
much about the man who wrote the
history of Jonah, we are certain he
knew more about this affair than our
young friend MacQueary, whose exper.
fence In nautical affairs has been con-
fined to few excursions to Congress
Lake, and q few steamboat rides on
Lake Erie.
That the story of Jonah was believed
In Christ's time is shown in Matthew
xii 40 as follows:
"For as Jonah was three days and three
nights in the whales belly SO shall the Son
Of Man be three days and three nights In
the heart of the EARTH"
