They Stand Solid.

The Peoples Party in the house of
representatives is intact as a political
organization and united as to party
measures which it is to press on the
two houses of the Fifty-second con-
gress.
In the caucus which met before the
organization of the house and nomi-
mated Representative Watson as the
candidate of the Peoples Party for
speaker of the house, the nine indie
pendet representatives then assembled
decided to preserve their political au-
tonomy on all questios to the end of
the session. Within the past few
days various reports of alleged dis
sension in the ranks of the nine Peo-
pies representatives have been cur
rent and the third party men tonight
complain that these rumors have been
inspired by politicians of other par
ties and teIegraphed through the
country purely for political effect. To
silence these insiduous rumors in their
inception the nine regular represen-
tatives of the Peoples Party to-day
issued the following address to the
country:
"To correct an erroneous account
which appeared in the public prints
IL reference to discussions in the ranks
of the Alliance congressman, we make
the following statements"
''At no meeting of the Alliance
members of congress was any motion
or suggestion made that they should
join the democratic party or cast their
lot with it. A disagreement occurred
because certain Alliance congressman
thought the contest should be made
through the old parties and others
thought Independent political action
necessary. There has been no split
between the People Party represen-
tatives. We are as united now as we
were at the opening of congress. We
each believe Independent political ac-
ton necessary. We hold our confer
enees as we did at the opening of the
session and they are harmonious
The only dissention that came among
the Alliance members came when we
had conferences with congressman
who adhere to old party lines"
The statement is signed by Thomas
E. Watson, W. A. MeKerghan, John
G. OTIS. K. Halvorsen. K. 0. Kern,
Jerry Simpson, John Davis, William
Baker, and B. H Clover.

Not a Party

The Kansas Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union is the official organ
of the Farmers Alliance II this state.
1t is published by the executive COM
mittee of the order and contains all
news necessary to the members. The
executive committee authorized the
following statement drawing the dis
tinction between the Peoples Party
and the Farmers Alliance:
1--WE plead with our membership to
strive by every means in their power
to correct the outside view that the
Alliance and Peoples Party are syn
onymous teams or the same. The
Peoples Party is an organization en-
tirely outside and independent of the
Alliance, and we expect it viii remain
so. Our enemies have too nearly sue
ceeded in making outsiders believe
that we are the same and some of our
own members are culpably carel ess
when they say Alliance ticket. We
now officially declare there is no such
thing as an Alliance ticket. There
cannot be such thing as an Alliance
ticket. Neither can an Alliance hold
a party political caucus, party primary
election or adopt strict party meas
ures as such within the Alliance meet
Ings proper without the liability of
forfeiting our charters. We cannot
distinguish in the Alliance room be-
cause a member belongs to either po-
litical party. We have not a shadow
of right to use the funds of the treas
ury for strict party purposes. Yet we
have right to advocate any princi-
pie or platform adopted by our state
or national organizations, and to ju-
diciously spend money for Alliance
institutes. encampments, etc, held
and legally authorized as a part of
the work of our order If any or all
the existing parties adopt one or all
our principles it does not change these
facts. The Alliance has a right to ad-
vocate its cause, to heartily support
its own work and it proposes to let
nothing interfere with that work"

FROM AGRA

Bad weather ana worse whisky ara
the leading topics To say that some
of our citizens have been perfornoiney
dIsgracefully while under the infin7
ence of liquor, would be drawing Il
very mild. Touch not, handle not it

an adder" It matters not how much
we may be inclined to condemn a law

proverb holds true to letter, and the
Vilest of beings if they are honest with
themselves will have to admit of II
For our part we would say Amen 70
a federal law that would prohibit the
manufacturing of all intoxicating
liquors. We notice some who use
liquor for the Grippe; judging from
the actions we would say that the eff

the disease.
Elder Franklin is conducting a
series of meetings at the Christian
Church.
Quite a number of our little folks
are afflicted with the genuine meas
les.
Rev. B. R. Turner, who has been
expounding republicanism in differ
ent parts of the county, is with us
again.
J. W. Bryant of Cromwell, Iowa,
visited us last week with the intention
of purchasing Kansas soil. He re-
turned home well pleased, with the
intention of returning in the spring,
and bringing several of his friends
with him, IN order that they too may
avail themselves of the great bargains
to be had IN the way of cheap farms.
Mr.. Bryant stated that he saw corn
here that had not had cultivator in
1t that would yield more per acre than
some of their Iowa corn that had four
civilizations. We do not wish to IN
courage non-cultivation, but think we
are safe IN saying that had all the
corn planted in Phillips county had
four civilizations, the yield would be
double. We see it clearly demonstrate
ed in certain fields: One man will
with one team raise more corn from
fifty acres, than if he tried to Guilt
vate one hundred acres.

FROM PRAIRIE YIER.

Editors HERALD:
The person who asks what the re-
publican party has ever done for this
country, is as dumb as a lop-eared
mule, and should be treated as a COM
mon dummy Dispatch It gives
me great pleasure, am supremacy
happy, IN ecstacy, to be able to agree
with the Dispatch. say yes, the fell
low that don't know what the g. O. %.
has done for the country (some of the
things at least) is dumber than blind,
string halt, lop-eared mule, and is IN
woeful state of ignorance. I would
commend all such to the sympathy of
the g. o. p, as they have an inexhaus-
tible supply of that commodity OH
hand; it is as free as free grace, all
you have to do is to make application
for it. Well. LET us refer to a few of
the things it has done for the country;
away back, about 1862. less than a
year after its advent to power. it de-
preciated the peoples credit by plac-
ing two exceptions on it, in order to
make a market for Shylock's gold I'M
til 1t was worth 40 cents on the dollar,
and then paid the soldiers in that
kind of money, and whenever it has
been proposed to equaIize them vii b
the Shylocks, they throw up their
palms IN holy horror, and say It would
bankrupt the nation Considering
the time the act was committed, when
the nations life was in danger, the
heinous criminality of the act, is with
out parallel in the history of the
nation. Another thing it did was to
repudiate the first contract it made
with the bondholders in which it was
stipulated that they should be paid in
the same kind of money they paid for
them. They changed the contract
and made them payable in gold; there
by adding the difference between 40
cents and 100 cents to Shylocks invest
ment. This was all done to strength
en- the peoples credit. How increas-
ing the debt and decreasing the pow
er to pay would strengthen credit, is
an enigma beyond my comprehension
DemonetiZing silver and contracting
| the currency, are other credit strength
ening acts. which had the effect TO ap-
preciate the debt, and depreciate the
power to pay. The specia resump-
ton act was another credit strength
ening poultlce. Would the Dispdtch
please figure ont the probable amount
transferred by these several opera
tons from the pockets of honest toll
ers to the pockets of Shylocks. and
confer favor on an honest inquirer?
Another far reaching operation of the
g. o. p was the loaning of the peo-
pies credit to the amount of $50. 0OO.-
600 to the Union Pacific Railroad. and
a land subsidy of a small empire. and
guaranteed the interest on the loan.
secured by first mortgage on the
property; they afterward released the
first mortgage. and allowed the cor
poration to give first mortgage to
other parties, and the government
took a second mortgage, aud has paid
the interest on the loan until the cor
poratisn owes the people Sl30 600, 600
These are few of the things the 2. O.
p. has done for the country, but they
are the things their press do not keeI
prominently before the people. Yes
the fellow that don't know what the
g. O. p. has done for the country il
dumber than a -. A. DAWSON.
