The Congressional Directory and
Congressional Record are the two Of
fetal publications of Congress. The
one contains biographical sketches of
Senators and members written by
themselves), the personnel of the va
rious State departments, district maps,
and the names and addresses of all
members of the two Houses. 1t is the
government blue book in this country,
and brought into constant use in po-
htical and social circles. The record
is mirror of legislative proceedings,
taken down by expert stenographers,
and issued by morning of The next day
from the government printing office.
1t is rather amusing to peep behind
the scene of its construction. Many
of the orations are entirely rewritten
by their authors before midnight, all
are corrected and revised, and in ma
merous instances the solons who pose
before their constituencies in cold
print, never uttered ten lines OF said
speech aloud. The permission to tex
tend remarks in the Record is an.
other abused privilege.

L. L. Polk, president of the nation
al Alliance, says every true Alliance
man will vote for the nominees of the
Omaha convention. This is official,
and Alliance men must govern them
selves accordingly or abandon the or
ganization.-Ihpeto Journal.
This is unfair to President Polk and
unfair to the Alliance. Col. Polk, in
his official capacity, has never pre-
sumed to dictate the party affiliations
of members of the Alliance, nor would
Alliance men be under the slightest
obligations to be so influenced, if it
should be attempted. 1t is a funda-
mental principle of the organization
not to interfere with the party affilia-
tions of its members, and no one
recognizes and observes this more
sefupulously than its honored Presi-
dent. AS an individual and citizen,
President Polk has declared his allie
glance to the Peoples party, and has
adcised other Alliance men to do the
same, because that party has become
a champion of the leading reforms de-
manded by the Alliance, while the
two old parties are openly hostile to
these demands, but that is all. If
President Polk and Allianeemen gen
orally feel more kindly toward and
inclined to affiliate with party that
is friendly to their interests than one
that is not, that. is most logical and
natural, but no such alternative has
been presented as that assumed by
the Journal, nor will there be.

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition of our cOun-
try imperativcly demands unity of action on
the part of the laborng classes, reformation
and economy. and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encOur
aging the toiling masses-leading them in
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor, just eX-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all monopolies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies;
l. To labor for the education of the agricul-
tural classes in the science of economical gov
ernment, in a strictly non-partisan spirit and
bring about a more perfect union OF said
classes.
2. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special fayors to none.
3. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sental, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop a better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
5. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudces, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
Z. The brightest jewels which it garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to aSsuage
the suffering of brother or a sister ; bury the
dead care for the widows and educate the or
phans to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life its intention is ''0n earth,
peace and good will to man,"
