The st. Paul Daily News and the
GREAT WEST can snuggle down in
the same little cradle. That is on
the Manifesto" business of the ALI
ance members of the late lamentable
legislature. The News thinks it. un-
wise, and we solemnly agree with it.
1t strikes the GREAT WEST that we
have had enough of this good music
we want action, and action we did
not get. AS wHoLE-as a body
the alliance legislators were Iii
which is another word for nothing.
And it seems to us that a porten-
tious, tho well-written, ponderous,
manifesto over lost opportunity is
not in exquisite taste.
1t is decidedly patent that they
succeeded in getting ''supes'' into Of
fice-why did success stop there?

positively:

of the proceedings ever known. Mr.

Disgraceful to the Last Degree.

The conspiracy OF the daily press
has reached point where it is dis
graceful and traitorous. Great
events are transpiring in Pennsyl
vania and in Detroit-streetw warfare
in which many are wounded and even
killed. But not a word appears in
the daily papers of the northwest
This is conspiracy of the most dan.
gerous character. The Associated
press is the instrument of this crime
and the plutocratic party managers
the directors.
And the people take it in good part

maps.

dollar of capital removed from the
state owing to the forfeiture law now
in force! This was it's plea-now let

continuing the outrages OF the usurer
in this state.

1t has long been the wish OF promi-
nent Alliance men throughout the
state to organize State Alliance
Mutual Fire Insurance company.
But the law was such that it could
not be done without a large amount
of money being paid in at time of
organizing. Mr.. Donnelly has Sc
cured the passage of a bill author
izing the formation of State COM
panies similar to the law authoriz
ing the formation OF Township Mu-
tuals. There is no doubt that fire
insurance confined to farm property
is the safest class of insurance in the
world. and the old line companies
have been drawing money from the
farmers to pay city losses. Thous-
ands of dollars can be saved annual
ly if the farmers will unite and Or
ganize. A meeting will be held at
go Wabasha St., on Tuesday, May
5th, at 10 a. M, to organize such a
company.

The st. Paul Globe is now at the
task OF disrupting the alliance. AS
it will be a split off of one hundred
on one side and $4,000 on the other
side it's spewing is not dangerous. 1t
is about time that the st. Paul
Globe was paying little attention
to it's own party. When it can
throw off the grip Of the plute at it's
throat will be time enough to give
the Alliance advice. The reason the
Globe is going to haul off it's 100
devotees is because thay can't run
the Sage and his army of hackers!

NEW YORK, July 27.-W. w. Durant's
new steam yacht Utewana will spend the
early part of the week in this city. She will

carry out this idea requires a very expert

who formerly commanded an East Indian

posed to have been around the world as
many times as his fifty years of active SER
vice would permit
Mr.. Durants new vessel is beauty in
every way, and she combines all tbs essen
tials for comfort and efficiency. She was
built by Neafe q Levy OF Philadelphia. Her
dimensions are: Length, 19l feet; beam, 27

built in this country, being an auxiliary
craft, with strong set OF engines and a
brigartine rig, with very large sail area.
She Is sailer more than a steamer, her
owners intention being to steam only when
there Is no wind. When under canvas the
propeller can be unshipped.
The Utowana carries 81 tons Of coal which
Will last 20 days when running at a 10-knot
speed. She carries stores that will last
three years, together with a complete double

contains the following:
The week has been cooler than usual In all
sections east of the Rocky Mountains. al
though the departure from the normal tenn
perature has been less than it was during
the previous week generally throughout the
Southern States, while the deficiency in tenn
perature was more marked In the Northwest
over the spring wheat region. This week
was warm to the west of the Rocky Noun
tains, the excess in temperature increasing
with the longitude, and at Pacific coast sta
ti0ns the Dolly temperature ranged from a.
60 above the normal. The cool weather of
the past two weeks has reduced the season
al excess In temperature previously reported
over the greater portion of the country east
of the Rocky Mountains, and at present the
greater portion of this Southern States Is in
cluded within the region where the seasonal
temperature is deficient, although the de-
parture In all districts amounts to generally
less than 10 per day for the period from jan
uary 1st to July oath.
The rainfall during the past week hes been
largely in excess on the Atlantic coast. the
heaviest rains occurring in South Carolina
along the Allegheny range in Virginia,

from lack of rain; generally, however, crops
show a good growth, especially corn which

and corn show a slight deterioration csm-

in northern counties. Rainfall of past week
unequally distributed, but enough fell in
