eide because did not stay in my native home.
EVA BLOCH.
Address Wrotnowska, II Utica, Sc Wspolna,
Warsaw
The body of the unfortunate girl was
subsequently, buried in ST. Mary's Cemetery
through the exertions of john Joscienieckl,
a Russian tailor, who knew the girls family,
and his countrymen.
Grant Miller last night replied to Madam
Wrotnowska's letter at length, giving her
all the information he mad regarding the
unfortunate girl.
There is reason to believe that an effort
will be made by the Russian police to run
down the young officer who brought Eva
Bloch TO this country, and the American
officials may be asked to take charge Of the
matter.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Mrs. S. Harth, Secretary of the Buff
falo Alliance, No. pa, of Minnehaha
Co., S. OAK, sends us resolutions of
that alliance. They do not want the
government to issue bonds to any pri-
vate corporation to build an inter-
oceanic canal. But they do advise
that the government issue treasury
notes, of full legal tender to build the
same-and then own and control the
same.
The difficulty in the way is aninter-
national compact with foreign nations
which agrees that no nations shall
take thematter in hand on account of
the control of the same in the time of
war. However, we believe that the
compact may be withdrawn with
proper notice.

There have been a great MANY grand

There have been great many grand
words said, and beautiful enlogies
pronounced, on the life and character
of Secretary Window. 1t is not wise
nor just that after death the course of
a man should be thus endorsed unless
his life itself were fitting tribute for
such eulogies. Secretary WINDOWS
later life has not been remarkable for
its patriotism. He never failed to
cometo the aid of suffering Wall street.
His responses were gratefully received.
He died with words upon his lips
which sustained the awful iniouity of
the destruction of silver values. He
called thecountry prosperous beyond
the fondest dream, when evicted farm
erswere weeping over broken hearth
stones, and hundred thousand
laborers in New York city were idle
when mighty corporations were &C.
cumulating prosperity at the expense
OF the producer. Every word Mr..
Window pronounced was a bolt to
fasten plutocracy upon the land.

A friend writes us asking why the
bill to have a committee investigate
the cost of railroads was defeated by
not having a two-thirds vote. It was
because the motion was to suspend
the votes" and take the question up
out of it's regular order. This is a
means, at times, of killing bill in in
fancy. Some enemy makes the
motion, knowing that while q MAORI
ty may favor, two-thirds cannot be OBJ
tanned for it-and the committee from
whom the bill is thus NOT ordered for
vote, by long custom, understands
that such vote means, "don't bring
the bill in till get ready" We do
not know that anything of this kind
was done in the above case-in fact. as
it was Wagoner's bill, we think the
railway lobby is too much for us.
And, in the meantime where are our
Alliance "agitators' that their voices
are not heard echoing down the stair
way and the whole length of Waba-
sha Street. The legislature needs
more determined grit.
The above thirds" me ans two
thirds of all the members.

The Alliance Elevator Co.

The present understanding in re-
lation to the condition of the affairs
of this company is that liabilities
amount to about $4,000. To offset
this there are about $11 200 of I'M
paid stock to collect on, and each
stockholder is liable for double the
amount of his stock, Then there are
various assets including a $500
mortgage on Dakota land, and several
elevators. The latter are mortgaged.
There are also some items of office
furniture, etc. Some of the stock is in
hands able to meet assessment,
though there is considerable that
is not very promising. It will be
some time probably before Eric Olson
will pay up the first dollar on the
$1,000 of stock he took-and in fact
Eric may not like to locate it just
now.
Probably the liabilities will all be
met, and the company honorably
closed up. If any one received our
opinion of the cause of the break it
would hit a Minneapolis grain firm
straight in the neck-and probably
expose some very cute work.
We feel very profound sympathy
for Mr.. Loucks, He has been near to
deaths door for months, during the
past year and is now scarcely able to
walk-a chronic bone disease in one
Of his limbs. He has lost fully $4,000
in the elevator company, and is now
practically a ruined man, physically
and financially.

We have secured a copy of Mr.:
Hompe's railroad bill-not the volume
which caused his combine with the Re-
publicans- one said to be written
in the office of the Northern Pacific R.
Company, and submitted to railroad
officials for approval. We refer to
the one which makes the tesponsor
for shutting up cut rate ticket Offices,
and compels the owner of ticket who
does not use it, to get to the road
from which he bought it to redeem, or
lose it! A bill which has a penalty
for the man who sells his ticket to
other parties, but no penaltyafSr the
railroads if they do not redeem. The
bill will appear this week. go

The Eric Olson clerkship business

The Eric Olson clerkship business
came up in the House again on Mon
day. There was general discussion,
and the speakerleft hischair to defend
the appointment. The request to
have Olson appointed to SIS day
buncombe clerkship was made by
Cantleberry, McGrath, Nilsson,
Koehnen. Darelius and Coates.
Mr.. Lomen said the minority of that
committee were taken by surprise by
that appointment. They regarded it
as unnecessary. That no power ex-
listed for the appointment Of such clerk
That Olson had been appointed as
having served from Feb. 10th, and
that the committee had met but three
times, and passed twomotions [proba-
bly, to adjourn] since the session COM
menced and there would not be more
than weeks work for the committee
during the entire session.
McAllister practically said that
Olson was incompetent.
Mr.. Gildca, of Murray Co., objected
to sinecures being created for any one.
The house already Ihad 40 employees
on it's pay roll this early in the SEES
sion, while the last legisla-
ture only had ~ on the roll at the
close OF the session. He offered SUBJ
stitute that the committee had no use
for clerk and requesting the speaker
to cancel the appointment.
Bjorge said the fight against Olson was
a slap in the face of the speaker, and
not against Olson.
Greer stated that the knowledge he
had against Olson was obtained from
the GREAT WEST and that if the state
ments were true Olson was not fit for
the appointment. He placed great
confidence in the statement of the
Stearns Co. member who said that the
committee had no need for such clerk.
Mr.. Capser stated that after the ex-
perience of two years ago he was OPP
posed to the extravaganza in this d.
rection. 1t would go all the state
that the Alliance was doing the same
thing now, and he warned the demo-
Gratis to keep their skirts clear.
Mr.. Lockwood said that an ALI
ance member had taken him into the
cloak room and told him that Olson
was no credit to the Alliance party.
The motion to indefinitely postpone
the motion to take back the appoint
ment was carried, tout of respect for
the speaker" and Olson gets his SIS
snap.

Notice to Subscribers.

To parties who receive notice of Ex-
piration of Subscription:
Owing to the fact that subscriptions
and renewals have lately come in more
rapidly than the type has been
set on the printed address list, some
postal notices get directed to persons
whose money has been sent in. This
has occurred even in cases where bust
ness letters had called for reply in
which full amount of check was noted.
We hope our friends will bear with us
in errors of this kind. We are sending
out thousands of renewal cards and
such errors are almost unavoidable.

Mr.. Foley, of Aitkin, (dem.) intro
duced billin the house on Thursday,
of last week, to tax railroad lands, as
follows:
Section provides that all lands in
this state heretofore or hereafter
granted by the State of Minnesota or
the United States or the Territory Of
Minnesota to any railroad company
shall be assessed and taxed as other
lands are taxed in this state, except
such parts of said land as are held,
used or occupied for right of way,
gravel pits, side tracks, depots and
all buildings and structures which are
necessarily used in the actual man
agement and operation of the railroads
of said companies.
Section 2 provides for the repeal OF
all acts which provide or attempts to
provide for exemption of the lands re-
ferred to in section 1. The remaining
sections provide for the submission
of the act to the vote of the people at
the general election in 1892.

"What will Hompe say to his con-
stituents for voting against the Inter-
est-reduction conference, by western
states?" So said an alliance man in
this Office. Oh, he'll try to gum over
the matter and make them think there
was some "niggah in de chip basket!'
Here are the suffering states of the
west seeking to get together and move
on the Shylocks in a body, so that
the capitalist must come down with
his interest, or get out of all the states
if he does one-and Mr.. Hompe votes
with the plute to keep Minnesota from
joining with the others-simply to per-
NIT him to "down Honnelly."

Doubtless most of the alliances are
getting little anxious about the stat
us of the Irvine market for the COM
ing season. We are enabled to state
that the Business Agency are thor
oughly posted on every feature of the
market, and will be on deck with con-
tracts with manufacturers themselves
under which Irvine will be sold much
cheaper than last year.
Let us say this, which we positively
know: That Irvine is sold all over the
country as pure MANILA and as half
and-half, which often does not have one
single strand of MANILA in it! And
often manila" in which there are a
few scattered strands. The first ques-
ton asked of the agency, after manu-
facturer was secured, was:
"Well, how are you going to deal, on
brands, or on straight goods?"
The answer was most emphatic,
"Straight goods or nothing"
"That will make all the difference
in the world in prices"
"Then," returned the Agency, eve
will sell straight goods or nothing just
the same" And if the Agency does
not have the lowest wholesale price in
the country it will know why. DR..
F'rain is Chairman of the National
Alliance Irvine Committee, and as
such is thoroughly posted on every
movement.

The Constitutions,

When Mr.. Clarke, of Minneapolis, Of
fered to print $1,000 constitution
pamphlets for the Alliance six
languages, for the advertising in it, the
GREAT WEST publishers advised the
Executive Committee to accept the
bid. We had tried it the year before
with four languages, and succeeded in
paying the expense. But our adver-
tising space was limited, and we pulled
through "by the skin of our teeth"
So we did not wish to try it again.
But we knew that Mr.. Clarke would
necessarily be delayed in getting the
work out. Now, however, it seems
that two months will elapse before
the constitutions appear. This delay
is greater than the Alliances had reas-
on to expect, and it is matter of re-
greet.
Letters are coming in every mail, call
ing for them, and the postage for re-
plies is quite burdensome. We hope
the pamphlets will be issued before
March LIST. Mr.. Cark's:: arrangement
with the Executive Committee was
made through Miss Eva Mcdonald,
and she can probably answer letters
in regard to the matter more intelli-
gently than we can.

The reason that a vote of ~ in fav-
or OF, 20 against, the bill for a. COM
mittee to examine into the cost of
railroad construction defeated it was
asfollows: The motion was asecond-
airy motion, like that to suspend the
rules to pass it, and such motion
required two-thirds vote of ALL the
members, whether present or not. A
vote OF that character is generally
taken to quiet bill even in commit
tee; but it can be called up again.

On Monday Mr.. Donnelly introduce
ed resolution to repeal the libel law
OF 1887, on the ground, we premise,
that it protected the press in the pub
LEGATION of outrageous lies. This is true,
for a retraction can be obscurely
made, or made in such a way as not
to reach the readers who purposely
spread the original statement, and
not the denials. This repeal would
not affect, OF course, his present suit
against the Pioneer Press.

Mr.. Bjorge is endeavoring to re-
cover himself on the railway pass
business. Week before last he boldly
voted against Mr.. Gildea's railway
pass bill. Was his pocket full of them?
He is merchant of Underwood,
Otter Tail County, and the report in
the GREAT WEST brought a storm of
resolutions around his head-and SO,
last Thursday, he, with equal prompt
ness. voted to call up the anti-pass
bill-and not leave it "indefinitely
postponed"-as he had voted before.
Brave alliance man! If there had
been no fuss made, there would have
been no vote gained; make a fuss,
gentlemen, and make your men chalk
up or walk the plank!
They say the G. w. is radical
That's right.

Since entering his suit against the

tered suits against the Minneapolis

have been asked why the G.. w. did

that will appear very soon. We did
not even know of the statement for
several days, and then understood by
an error that it was in the Tribune.

We give another installment this
week of the GREAT VESTS exposition
of the wheat stealing business. DR..
Fish has succeeded admirably in Sc
curing letters and documents written
by these elevator companies them
selves to parties abroad. How he
got them is unnecessary to state. He
did not 60 abroad for nothing, and all
are vouched for by a jurat made in
our own country. The profits of these
elevator companies have been simply
robbery, and the GREAT WEST has
rightly dubbed their business econ
spiracy to rob the farmers of the
northwest" The articles each week
are lengthy, but we trust our readers
will be patient and give them a care
full study. While we cannot get back
what has been lost in this way, it is a
satisfaction to know how it was done,
and profit by the experience 1t is in
formation and education on these
subjects the people need now, and
then if they rise in their power and
intelligence they can sweep the whole
accursed robbing and grinding system
from the face OF the earth. Such COM
panies are human leeches, devoid of
conscience or feeling, and insofar as
they thus plumber. have no rights that
the people are bound to respect. It
is high time the law that gives them
creation also controlled their actions,
else we will soon be a people of pau
pers and slaves.

The Free Lance, of Minneapolis,
seems to take in the situation, and
talks very plainly about the matter,
as follows:
Miss Eva Mcdonald is fast making
herself obnoxious to the executive
committee of the Farmers Alliance
by her forward, bold and unladylike
treatment of matters before the AL
lance. The farmers will soon see how
foolish they were to put a city girl,
and an inexperienced one at that,
in so important a position as State
Lecturer. She never belonged to the
Alliance, was ineligible, and never
should have been elected.

It is not in frst-class

1t is not in frSt-clasS to pub
lish fattering words about ourselves
It is done, because amid the mighty
whirl OF abuse launched at us, we like
to show up that the G. w. has friends
in the world. Thefollowing is from the
Pope Co. Press:
eve see by the Minneapolis Tribune
of the 31st, that a proposition was re-
ceived from DR.. Fish of the GREAT WEST,
relative to the purchase of that publ
cation and makingit the official organ
of the alliance. He reserves the right
to control to certain extent the edi-
tOrial columns and it is understood
his proposition was accompanied by
an offer to take $4,000 for the plant.
We would ask where can man be
found in the state of Minnesota or
elsewhere that can take the GREAT
WEST and advocate the alliance work
in all it's details that are connected
with the alliance and laboring class
es interests, and give the general
satisfaction that DR.. Fish has?
It looks as though there is scheme
at the bottom of it to stop the
investigation that is now going on
through the GREAT WEST that is of
vital Importance to the producing
class. The Press believes that if such
a sale is consumated so that it will cut
off DR.. Fish from any editorial work
in the alliance organ, it will prove a
terrible mista axe, and we will lose one
of the wisest and noblest lights in the
alliance ranks"
The intention was, Bro. West, to have
the DR.. continue in certain lines of
work, but take off the strain of the
general work, and make the paper
thor oughly official and therefore non
personal.
The St. Vincent New Era, on this
same subject, says:
"The proposition to buy out "THE
GREAT WEST" the present official
organ of the farmers of the state, is
a very sensible and just scheme. Drs.
Fish and Frain, publishers of '"THE
GREAT WEST" have been whooping it
upfor the farmers until they are on top,
for once in their experience. What
more decent thing could they now do
than chipin the price of treat each
and own a paper in this great state
that should be entirely under the con-
troll of their executive committee.
The monopolists own hundreds of or
gans, surely the wealthy, victorious
farmers can afford to own one"
