Alliance OAaoers Win.

GUTHRIE, Okla. Feb. 25.-Two
weeks ago at the county election the
Farmers Alliance ticket was success
full. The Republican office holders
claiming the election to have been
held without authority of the law,
refused to allow the officers-elect to
take possession of the Offices. The
farmers Alliance officers set up indie
pendent Offices and have been carry
ing on the county business since Sat-
urday. Early this morning before
the Republican officers got down to
business the Farmers Alliance Off
GERS obtained forcible entrance to the
county Offices, and with crow bars,
cold chisels and sledge hammers a
general assault was made upon the
safes and vaults and they were opened.
The Farmers Alliance officers took
invoices of all the contents and be
gan business. The Republican officers
appealed to United States Marshal
Grimes, but he declined to act. The
Republicans are highly chagrined,
but will probably attempt no VOL
ence.

Oh, we men of Drawn, in Minneso-
ia, where now are the miserable ten
for-a-cent parasites OF the cities, who
brayed through their brass horns
that Donnelly would betray you!
Look on the path OF the cyclone, and
see the saplings flattened to the
ground, while the condemned and
abused giant gathered his little force
about him.
And once again-to those who
have put their heavy foot on the
neck of the G.. W.-where would have
been your interests if the flaming
spirit of the new revolution had
leaned upon the miserable newspa-
pers who fought the Sage for two
weeks, inch by inch-for their infor-
nation?
They say we carry a frebrand?
No, but we carry a torch to light
the honest pathway-and to cremate
the traitors-just as the garments OF
the infected dead are burned outside
the gates.

1t may be thought by many in
other states that the last issue OF the
G.. W. was terrible hard on traitors.
In explanation we will say that the
great fight against plutocracy CEN
tres in the northwest, where the
plutocracy are entrenched behind a
wealth and power wonderful and al
most impregnable. The immensely
OF the fortunes, the breadth of the
political power, of the Twin cities is
beyond belief. And as consequence
the alliance is choked with noisome
traitors whose treason is bold and
aggressive. There is but one way to
survive here-fght or Join the enemy.
The GREAT WEST chooses to fight
and fight hard.

The baby nonsense OF that great
big paper called the Pioneer Press is
sickening in the extreme. For Mercy's
sake give the squaller some paregoric.
1t has been grouping for weeks over
the fact that the forfeiture of princi-
pal law in case OF usury had not been
enforced-and could not be enforced!
That it was dead letter, and should
be removed from the books.
After that croupy wheeze the legis-
lature begins to provide for retaining
that same forfeiture law.
Then the mumps sets in, with ear
ache to match-and the Pioneer-P.
bowls with anguish over the poor
farmer who will now be rot-ruined be-
cause the capitalist will leave the
state.
Oh, DETERMINATION? Why, they
haven't left the state for Ia years of
forfeiture! It's a dead letter! But
now they're going to put their dol
lars into wheelbarrow and "git."
Poor P. p! If some one would
rub the ruffian youngone down with
a brick-or part it's hair with a hot
poker, there would be some peace in
the family and Justice in the world.

No sir, the GREAT WEST is not a
beggar at any mans gate asking for
aid or support which is not earned.
Above all it asks no support from
men who secretly stand in with the
plutocracy, or the Twin-City Octar-
chy-and publicly palliates it's wrongs
against the poor OF earth. We
strike a square blow-ask no mercy
or charity and, by the Eternal, in
this day of evolutions, we give none.

Hundreds Of Abandoned Farms.

BosToN, March 2.-The report of
special commission on the abandoned
farms OF Massachusetts gives figures
which are startling, when it is con-
sidered that the area of the state is
very small when compared with 9TH
ers. The number of abandoned
farms is 1,461, of which $50 have
been stripped of their buildings. The
aggregate acreage is 126,510, and
the present assessed valuation ST.
O76, 1928. The percentage of the
abandoned farms of the whole agri-
cultural acreage OF the state is 3.45
per cent. The cause of this abandon
ment is the failure of the land in the
western part of the state, and the
competition with Rhode Island and
Connecticut in the southern tier, and
the increased tendency of the young
men to go to the cities.

same time kept hammering at OPP
preston and wrong until today the
people of Minnesota are with him.
Witness his late magnificent cam
paign for the presidency of the Farm
ers' Alliance of Minnesota. With the
natural and laudable ambition of
some of his fellow members to fill the
same position, he had also to contend
with the united, fierce, uAholy opposi-
ton of the leaders of corporation
monopoly on the outside with all
their Trays, Blanches and Sweet
hearts barking at his heels. The re-
suit was his unanimous election and
all honor to the horny handed farm
ers of Minnesota whom money prom
Uses could swerve, for it goes to show
not only their honesty, but that they
are in the fight to stay and to win.
What of the future of Ignatius Don
nelly? At present it looks as if he
would be the nominee of the Indepen-
dent party for the presidencyin 1892,
and bear their banner either to a
glorious victory or an honorable de-
feat. If so, the old parties will meet
a fighter and tactician, equal to their
best and if defeat comes the party
will have been made stronger by rea-
son of his leadership. Should victory
be the result, then the common peo-
pie would have a president, the toilers
friend in power, monopoly would
lose it's grasp in governmental affairs
and the doctrines OF the Declaration
of Independence be enforced, ''That
all men are created free and equal;
that they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain unalienable rights;
that among these are life. liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" Hail, hap

How Hompe Works the Racked for

After Hompe has voted twenty or
thirty times with the plutes for the
repeal of forfeiture; after he has led
away other alliance men; after he
has spoken against forfeiture most
bitterly; after he has abused Donnel-

fought most bitterly and contempti-

alliance meetings-at the last mo-

Farmers of the Fifth District! You
know OF the desperate fight! Will
you forget it? No, you will not. You
will not forget that Hompe voted
against
EVERY AMENDMENT AND EVERY
MEASURE
to keep forfeiture in the law-with a
record of a score of such votes!
No wonder, when he was again a
candidate for Vice President for the
Fifth, at last State Meeting, he
could muster only six votes out OF a
couple of hundred!

The Sage of Nininger.
Ignatius Donnelly has been APRON
inent figure in Minnesota politics for
many years; his influence OF late has
extended beyond State bounds. 1t is
true that the partisan monopolistic
press by every means in their power
attempt to belittle that influence;
some sheer, some jibe, some Islander
and others charge him with mercen-
airy motives in every act and utter
ance, but the fact will not down that
the Usage of Nininger" is leader of
men.
That he is honest is beyond ques-
ton, all will admit who have watched
his career. What might not have
heen his public position today had he
given his allegiance to either of the
old parties? He has proven himself
a brainy man, an astute politician, a
deep thinker and thoroughly equip
ed to deal with public affairs. Were
he dishonest he would have made use
of these powers and opportunities
where they would do the most good
to carry out nefarious schemes, and
God knows Minnesota has been
fruitful field during the past twenty
years. Ignatius Donnelly has not
done this, but on the contrary has
refused to endorse and support cor
ruption, thereby concentrating the
wrath of the corruptionists of that
State upon his devoted head. While
other spilled up colossal fortunes from
the toll of the people Ignatius Don
nelly protested, suffered defeat, op-
probrium and poverty, but never
wavering in his support of the right
as God gave him to see the right.

n. =. Junction Vidette.
A number of Allian,e newspapers
have frankly acknowledged that
their preference of candidates for the
presidency in 1892 is U. S. Senator
PETER, and Senator PETERS own pa
per has arrived at the conclusion
that Senator PETER is the most avail
able man for that position. Now, We
are anxious to observe the prefer
ence of Senator Ignatius Donnellv's
organ, the GREAT WEST, of St. Paul.
That paper is wonderfully silent on
this very important subject. Is it
possible that it's usually large stock
of modesty and Fish has been de-
creased to such an extent that it is
looking for some poor fellow outside
it's own barracks to fire the salute?
If such is the case, we are inclined to
believe that it must want forever.
The above was taken from some
western exchange. We can assure

Chatt1e Mortgage Outrages.

The extortions of the chattle mort
gage usurers in localities where the
crop failures have made it impossible
for the pioneer settlers to pay, have
been so villainous that nothing short
of a coat of tar and feathers could do
justice to the outrages perpetrated
under the name OF law. In comment
ing on these Col. Lounsberry, the
we'll known newspaper correspondent,
says:
Il have seen the sleek, smooth
tongued dealer in horses sell on time
at an exorbitant price and have seen
his patronizing smile as he raked in
his bonus for an extension when his
note became due, extending his mort
gage so as to cover everything avail
able the farmer had, and within a
week take possession OF all under the
clause of his mortgage permitting
him to do so at any time he deemed
himself insecure. I have seen him bid
in a wagon at S., a span of horses
for SIS, a double harness for So, and
a pillow for SO cents, foreclosing for a
debt of 800 incurred for the wagon
only few months before, and take
Judgment for the balance and $50
costs. l have seen the widows COW,
the principal means of subsistence
for her children, driven off and bid in
at sale on a debt of IS. | have seen
a sick woman almost lifted from her
bed, and stove and bed and bedding
taken from her on chattle mortgage
to satisfy the demands Of the usurer.
l have seen the aged turned in sor-
row from their homes after spending
the better part Of their lives working
that the usurer might live in luxury.
have seen my own wife and little
ones turned out OF their comfortable
home, when was helpless from
broken limb, as the result of wound
received in the service OF my country,
because had become impoverished
by the demands of the usurer and
could not meet further demands on
claim unjust in conception. have
seen prosperous business Destroy
ed, a good name discredited and a
home almost broken up by these
fiends in human form, who fatten on
the misery Of their fellow men,"
Surely some system can be adopt
ed, without infringing upon the legit-
innate rights of capital, which will
protect the homes Of the people, and
protect the unfortunates from those
who rob them by means of cut-throat
chattle mortgages. as we'll as from
those who assault with bludgeon or
