DoNNELLY was explaining how doc"
FISH was the only man in the newspa-
per business capable of even sporadic
lapses into truth, and although nothing
eXcites greater interest among. the
members of the Alliance than
eulogies on the Sage's brilliant
lieutenant. 1GNATIUs had to interrupt
his address for moment, so great was
the applause which greeted the lady
from Kansas. Later in the evening she
had an opportunity to contribute some
thing to the regeneration of society her
self, and 1t was exceedingly we'll re-
celved. There was some uncertainty as
to the exact bearing of her remarks, but
they were generally admitted to be a
convincing presentation of the superb
orty of. thesprinciples of the Peoples
party over the teachings of Christianity.
All this was also very happily put and
made many converts.
At the second days session Mrs.
LEASE, inspired by the example of the
great IGNATIUs, said that the newspa-
perS were unutterable liars and that
they had done her grave injustice when
thsy implied that she was not much of
Christian. She said that she thought
Christianity was very good thing of
its kind, but the trouble with twas that
its qualifications for membership were
not strict enough. In this regard
the Alliance beats it all hOl-
low. in her opinion. Abandoned
wretches like bondholders and us
urers can belong to Christian
churches. but the Alliance opens its
doors only to the holy, like IGNATIUs
DoNNELLY and Doc FISH. If the
church would reform in this particular,
she believed there was some hope for it,
in spite of the competition of the new
faith, of which she is disciple, but
if it keeps on in its present evil course
ruin awaits it, because she has vowed
never to pay another dollar or another
old copper" to its support until it shows
some disposition to mend its ways. The
GLOBE. on behalf of the Christian peo-
pie of the Northwest, is glad that Mrs.
LEASE is to tarry for some time in Min
nesota, and show us what we must do
to be saved. This gifted female orator
may be secured during the present de-
preston in the regeneration of society
market for $40 night and expenses.
These are red-figure prices and are liza
BILE to be raised without notice.
IL IS either weakness or trickery that
causes the nominee for governor of the
lottery wing of the Democrats in Louis
iona to say he is opposed to lotteries.
He is completely in the hands of the
lottery gang. Public sentiment outside
may have made itself felt, and this is
one of the little by-plays for use out of
the state. The only safe way for the
true opponents of the thing is to stand
by the Democrats who are fighting it.
A RECENT court ruling in an election
matter i'll New York brings out
practice of the postal department i'll re-
gard to letters that has not been we'll
understood. The person who mails
letter can reclaim it any time before it
is delivered to the party addressed.
Recently party in the East stopped by
telegraph letter sent to st. Paul after
it had reached this city. A sworn de-
scription is necessary, OF course.
A MISSIONARY who has been laboring
among the itch and cultured in Boston
thinks they are more in need of the Cos
pei than the poor. There was an init
nation of that sort more than 1880 years
ago.
PERHAPS it doesn't pay financially to
be congressman, but there is no pres
ent danger that any one will have to
be drafted. Senator SHERMAN could
give profitable experience in the SEN
ate.
THE year 1892 nnds the United States
treasury in more exhausted condition
than it has been for thirty years. But
there are only fourteen months more of
this administration.
DRESS reform among the ladies OF
Boston has lost its chance from lack of
rainy Saturdays. They should employ
one of the rainmakerS.

Favor of a Railroad.
