last night, having had time to study

The frs. piece. "O'Callahaghan's

fine eccentric acting of Mr.. John Ryall,
who played the Irish character like an
artistic professional. He also played the
part OF the detective in the " Prima
Donna" with fine effect: Both of the
pieces presented were highly acceptable
in all respects. The little Irish comedy
is racy and witty and the "Prima
Donna" is brilliant. The same pro-
Qramme will be presented this evening.

AFFECTED BY THE FAIR.

General Early thought the small at
tendance was due 10 the fact that since
the Exposition no regular fair had been
held, and no meeting OF the association.
In future with regular fairs the attend
snce would DO up TO the old standard.
Richmond, he said, is undoubtedly the
proper place for the association - assem-
bic, and he suggested that Judge Chris
tan divide his resolution.
General Rosser. speaking in support
OF bis resolution, said he did not propose
TO cast slur upon the association. The
survivors OF the Army OF Northern Vir-
ginia could not afford TO come to Rich
mond, and the only thing for the asso-
ciation TO do was TO meet at different
points where the soldiers could attend.
Judge Christians substitute, that the
association meet in Richmond at such
time as the Executive Committee may
determine, and continuing the old Of
hcers, was adopted.

That is hitting Fletcher in sub
stantial way. The resolution liars
have procured one or two affidavits,
but they are very indefinite they
would be of not the least force in
the trial of the case in court. And
yet the Western Veteran, published
in Topeka, writes itself down as
blindly partisan by publishing these
worthless afidavits and pronounc-
ing them as conclusive. This bogus

they get through with it. Things

states that provide against laboring
on Sundays, etc. Not only this,
but it is also an infraction of that
provision Of the constitution of the
United States that forbids "the free
exercise Of religion" Thus we see
that the religious rights of all
church members who are in the pos
tai service, are also ignored by the
protested christian superintendent
of the postal service. But what
better can we expect from the pow
ers that be, who are willing to go
down into the lowest dens of cor
ruption for help to place in power a
party whose leaders pander to the
wishes of the enemies of good gov
eminent, and then can, and do, in
suit christianity, and everything Of
a moral tendency, by showing their
adherence by words, or practice,
to the theory that politics, or the
civil powers that be, owe allegiance

rule.

Wheatland Alliance, No. 231, at
a stated meeting held at the above
named place, adopted the following
preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, We as producing and
laboring class have been long op-
pressed by high taxes in various
ways, and oppressed until forbear-
ance has ceased to be virtue, and
WHEREAS, We have time and
again asked and sought for redress
of our grievances, and instead have
only, like the lsraelites, had our
burdens increased and
WHEREAS, Both the old parties
have ignored our requests, and even
when a Featherstone, or Stanford
who would dare to introduce a bill
for our relief, the leaders of the
old parties were not even content
to treat the effort with silent con-
tempt, but publicly denounced it,
scouting every endeavor to throw off
the yoke of bondage that has been so
cunningly, daringly and unmerci-
fully placed upon us ; therefore be it
Resolved, That we strictly and
unhesitatingly favor the organiza-
ton of new party, to be based on
true democratic principles.
Resolved, That we protest against
any and all systems of banking.
Resolved, That we favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver
Resolved, That we favor the is
suing of money direct to the peo-
pie, and that we favor bill like the
Featherstone, the Stanford, or the
sub-treasury bill.
Resolved, That the circulating
medium shall be at least fifty dollars
per capita.
Resolved, That we will not sup
port office seekers, but will support
men who are in accord with, and
whose interests are identical with,
ours.
Resolved, That we favor reduc-
ing the salaries of officers, when
they are too high, and increasing
such as are not sufficiently lucrative
to justify good men in filling posi-
tions.
Resolved, That we condemn and
discard the practices of both the old
parties.
Resolved, That we favor the cleo
tion of president and senators by
vote.

John Wannamaker and John
Wannamaker, II. M. G.

John Wannamaker has, in former
years, been noted throughout the
country as a leading Sabbath
school worker, also one of the great
merchant kings. And as mer-
chant king he employs poor women
and girls to make shirts, etc., at
starvation rates per dozen At, or
about the commencement Of the
campaign of 1888, it is stated that
Wannamaker steps out of the Sun
day school, and from behind his
desk, takes flying trip among the
combinations of the Shylocks, the
rum holes, the gamblers and specu-
lators, and returns with $780, 900
collected from the slums, as it were,
and what for? Was it to send mis-
sionaries to the heather F.? No.
Was it to build an institution in
which to feed the poor, lonely or
phans, and such poor women and
girls as he was paying starvation
wages for their labor? No. Was
it to found a place where those
who lost their limbs and
health in defense of their country
could rest in quiet during
the remainder of their days? No.
In short, has anyone ever heard of
John Wannamaker taking a flying
trip up and down amongst the
churches and Sabbath schools for
the purpose of collecting money to
send the gospel to the West Indies,
Africa, or any other country? Or has
anyone heard of John Wannamaker
giving $4,000 to send the gospel
to heather lands ? If so, let him or
her answer. But you see it was in
1888, during a red-hot campaign,
andsEaccording to Republican and
Democratic party regulation, it
takes money to win. Hence John
Wannamaker handed over the $780,
600 he had collected, and $4,000
of hisown, to Boss Quay to be used
in securing the election Of Deacon
Harrison. John; Wannamaker knew
that Boss Quay needed ne hstrnc-
tons as to the disposal of it, for he,
knew as well as any; man how to,
use tin organizing. blocks of five,
and in, buying votes aof4people4 like
SO many sheep. THUS we see, that
John Wannamaker, the great Sab
bath school worker, was both
principal and ansaccessofy in fur,

nishing Doodle bag 70 carry on
one of the most deplorable, damna-
BILE and corrupt presidential cam
paigns that has ever disgraced this
nation, which resulted in placing a
church deacon in the White House.
And for the part that John Wanna
maker took in bringing about this
result, he was given a position on
the Deacon's staff as commander-in-
chief of the United States mail SER
vice, and now he is known as John
Wannamaker, postmaster-general,
chief superintendent of a service
that requires thousands of men, wo-
men, boys and girls to transact it's
business. Hence we will now no.
tice some of the acts of John Wan
namaker as postmaster-general, or
in other words, chief superintend-
ent of the United States mail ser
vice. Now as an introduction to
his official acts which we purpose
to notice, we undertake to say that
there is no law Of congress that re-
quires the opening and distributing
of mails on the Sabbath day, unless
in cases of absolute necessity, Of
which the local postmaster and
postmaster-general are to be the
Judges. Any human law to the
contrary is in cofict with section
four Of the moral decalogue, and
thereby ceases to be law, on the
principles on which civil law is
founded. But we notice that Post
master-general Wannamaker has
said that "a petition from any COM
munity signed by considerable
majority of the patrons of the post
Office requesting the closing of the
office on Sundays, would be regard
ed with favor by the department, as
a means of ascertaining by practical
experiment just what the effect of
Sunday closing would be-" Now
then, notice, if you please, the alb
surdity of talking about an expert
ment as a means of ascertaining the
effect of closing the postoffices on
Sunday, in the face of the fact that
receiving and distributing the mails
on Sunday is robbing thousands Of
people of the day of rest that God
has given them. Not only does it
do this, but it also deprives them of
the right of their religious privi-
leges. Again, John Wannamaker,
postmaster-general, has said "The
difficulty is largely with the church
members, and if they were to prac-
tice what they preach, many of the
postoffices need not be open on
Sundays" Further he says, 81 am
urging such practice, and also such
closing by local option"
Now if church members do not
