STRENGTH OF THE ALLIANCE.


Members in Good Standing.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE
1. The deep, intelligent conviction of
the truth in Senator Plumb's statement,
that the evils the farmer, labOrer, busi-
ness man and small property holder COM
plain Of were produced by legislation
and can be remedied only by legislation.
2. The gradual disappearance of party
prejudice and sectional strifes, resulting
from intimate and frequent association,
an intelligent comprehension of the
present unhappy economic condition of
our country, the causes that produced it
and the means by which 1t can be reme-
died.
3. The loyalty and sacrifices Of the re-
form press. Many Of these came danger
ously near the brink of bankruptcy by
sending large editions out for gratuitous
distribution. MaLy even now are max
subscription rates that do not pay for the
blank paper. The bold and honest ex-
posure Of the National Union Company
scheme will ever endear, to the tru re-
former, the National Reform Press AS
ISOLATION, which association is being
secretly stabbed in the back by the hireu
assasslns of the enemy of the wealth pro-
ducers. In view Of the magnificent and
generous record Of the reform press, the
charge that its opposition to the Ma
tlonal Union Company is inspired by the
company'S refusal to "anti up" that the
reform press could be hired to sell out
for q mere pittsnce, should rebound
upon the vile alligator. Can the argu-
mentS Of the reform press in opposition
to the National Union Company be met?
That's the question to be decided, no
matter what may have inspired their op-
position.
4. The Kansas Alliance Exchange Com
pany, with its numerous adjuncts, have
not only saved the members of the Farm
ers' Alliance, but non-members, several
million dollars of hard earned money.
This is greatly appreciated, though not
to the extent 1t should be, and Is having
telling effect in holding the Alliance
solid.
5. The Farmers Alliance Insurance
Company, which furnishes equal protec-
tion In every respect to that Of any other
FIRE insurance company, at about half the
customary rate, keeping all the money
within our state, which otherwise would
go out of it through foreign companies.
Foreign companies take out all money
collected except the comparatively small
amount paid on losses, agents commits
slons and part Of advertising bills. Will
not half the amount of premium In your
pocket benefit you more than it would in
the safe Of some eastern or English COM
pany? Is not money In Kansas more
beneficial to the state in general than
money In the eastern states or old EDg-
land? Would you not prefer to pay 81
instead OF $5 to $50 agents commission
for the same service? Why should the
farmer show lack of the wisdom Of COM
mon sense in not standing by the Ali.
RnceI
8. The Farmers Alliance Benefit As
soclatlon OF Kansas gives equal advan-
tages In the line of life insurance that
the Farmers Alliance Insurance Com
pany does in the line Of fire, wind and
hail insurance.

THE CAPITALS MORTGAGE REPORTS.

says:
As to the registers of deeds it is an outrage to
insinuate dishonesty against these Obligtng off,
cIals.
THE ADVOCATE has not made any
insinuation of the kind. We have
said very distinctly that we believed
the dishonesty to be in the Capital
office; and we have frequently DEM
Omstrated this dishonesty. In our own
county, during the campaign of 1890,
the Capital claimed to have made an
examination of the records at the
court house, and published the state
ment, as a result of that examination,
that there had been but two foreclos-
ures in the county during the pre-
vious six months. We made and
published transcript from the court
docket of oUer t1Uo hundred during
that time. We have also followed its
monthly mortgage reports in several
instances with sworn statements from
different counties, showing the utter
falsehood of its reports.
What we say is this: That we have
seen the blank sent out by the Capital
to the registers Of deeds, and it only
calls for two items of information
mortgages released and mortgages
filed. If it has a different blank at
this time it has been recently made.
The Capital closes its criticism as
follows:
We challenge The ADVOCATE to prove It's
sincerity by publishing reports from the county
registers of actual releases and Of mortgages re-
corded.
This is just the kind Of a report
we are objecting to. A release by
foreclosure is an actual release, and
the Capital has been including just
this kind of releases in Its reports.
We accept the challenge to publish
the reports if we can get them, with
this provlso: that we furnish the
blank upon which the report is made,
and that all the items of information
called for shall be supplied; and we
return the challenge to the Capitalize
itself publish this kind Of a report.
It is we'll known to every reader
that the papers Of every county in
the state have constantly from q col
umn to a page of advertisements OF
sheriff's sales. This is a fact that has
not escaped the observation of the
people, Notwithstanding the efforts
of the Capital to obscure it. We
have before us at this moment the bar
docket of one county, in which forty
two cases of foreclosure are set for
the February term of court. We may
look for all of these to appear in due
time in the Capitals report Of mort
cages released.
How about the publication of re-
ports such as we propose? Will the
Capital "prove its sincerity" by
agreeing to publish them, and will it
unite with us in asking the registers
Of deeds to furnish the informstioni

The Umbria,s Inconyenient Delay.

The detention of the Umbria is seri-
GUS inconvenience to the steamer offices
in this city, and source of much regret
to the gentlemen connected with the Of
fees. In the first place, it is customary
for the manifests of the big ocean steam
ers to be despatched, in duplicate, by
mail, via New York. Some of these
manifests are on the Umbria, and their
delay seriously disarranges business
here. The Umbria also was due in New
York the day before Christmas, and
therefore has big Christmas mail
aboard. Many an anxious Briton is
waiting for her to get in, in order to have
his Christmas present and news from
home.

HoGG HAS THE COUNTRY.
Appearances Indicate the Texas
Governors Re- election.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct 31.-One week
from tomorrow one Of the hottest
gubernatorial fights ever known in
Texas will be closed. How the vote
will go cannot be accurately stated at
present. Clark is strong in both Demo-
cratic and Republican ranks. Hogg is
only strong with the country people. He
has few friends in the cities, but the
country people in Texas can out-vote
the cities. Hogg's leaders have an i'm
mense force in North Texas that will
come in solid phalanxes for Hogg.
Clark leaders give him $1,000 majority,
while HOgg men say their man will go
in with 100000. Nugent, third party
can didate, is stronger than either party
antic ipates, and will change the result
considerably. In the meantime, both
sides are moving heaven and earth for
votes, and are betting right and left on
the result.
