Good POPCORN.

One of the merchants of Owatonna
is very thriftf1l man. When Mr..
Donnelly and DR.. Fish spoke at the
opera house there a merchantpopped
corn in one of the adjacent rooms
and sent a kid into the hall to sell the
delicious edible. edrove thriving
trade-and the crunching of grain
and the rattling OF bags greatly aid
ed Mr.. Donnelly in his speech. After
the process of exchanging baked corn
for shekels was stopped we found out
who the originator OF the scheme
was-a powerful baptist brother
leader of the choir, and useful man
all around.

At the Salt and Lumber Company
works, near Manistee, Michigan,
about 100 Polish laborers have re-
Gently been discharged by the man
ayers. The alleged cause was that
they did not support the Republican
ticket on election day. Most of them
have lived for FIVE or ten years in
homes hear the works, bought from
the company, and OF course that
company has them in it's grasp.
These wronged men threatened
damage to the works unless they are
restored to their places. The de6ni-
ton OF an anarchist is zone who ex-
cites revolt or promotes disorder in
a state" Ought not this Salt and
Lumber Company to come under this
definition?

The Renville Union published our
comments on the time when bonds
are payable at the "option of the
government" The Union is correct
and we were mistaken. To show the
care we took in the matter lest we
were mistaken we quote our words:
without looking the matter up,
in our campaign haste we suggest,
etc."
The statement was written with
overcoat and hat on, starting for
the train. We trust we shall never
get too bigoted to acknowledge an
error-though it has in this case no
bearing on the question.

An Alliance Daily journal,

There was recently held at Wash
ington, D. c., at the house of Rep
resentative Watson, meeting OF al
lance Senators and Representatives
looking toward the establishment OF
an alliance campaign committee. It
would be the duty of this committee
to look after the alliance interest in
the congressional districts, to keep
voters informed, and have an eye on
the political prospects and possibili-
ties OF each district throughout the
United States. They also discussed
the question of national paper to
be published at Washington. There
will be further conference on this
important topic before the matter is
definitely settled. A big alliance
daily will be the probable outcome.

Ole E. Hagen, Crookston, local edi-

did not succeed i'll having it adopted,
and that is why he is CROSS that
is the reason Donnelly should be

allowed to run things as they have
done, there is but little hope there
can be built up peoples party in

Now, why does not Mr.. Holston
come to the peoples party press with
his grievances? Why is it, that he
goes to the republicans with them?
Why is Mr.. Holston cross? Why
shall the "Donnelly crowd" be SLAM

The very able paper on the subject

was hopelessly mixed by the printer

A Pluto Lie.

North REDWOOD, April 10, '92.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Enclosed find small slip which
l cut out OF our county paper (Ren-
vile Times) in regard to alliance
mentioned. Would like to know if
it is true or is it Pluto trick:
II. LINDIMAN
The Lamberton redwood county,
Alliance, with membership of over
100, has surrendered it's charter and
given up the ghost.
There is not a shadow of truth in
the statement, Bro. Lindeman. The
officers of the state alliance are au-
thority for this assertion, and you
may, put it in your hat that it's a
''plute trick'-in other words a
great big unadulterated lie-"all
wool and yardwide.

Some It'll District Music.

The youngsters up the 7th District
who have taken Hompe's place in
trying to divide the peoples party
are not so cute as they were two
years ago. They are showing their
hand early. E. R. Holston, one IF
the Office seekers of Crookston, aid
bosom-worker for E. E. Lommen,
has the following to cay of the wol k
ing forces who are now battering at
the walls of plutocracy. Say yo1r

little sticky gum into the c1acl
O. doom:
From the Minneapolis Tribune:
=. K. HolstOn, county attorney OF
Polk County, attended the peoples
party executive committee meeting
in st. Paul, on Wednesday. He is an
Alliance man of the kind that does
not belong to the Farmers Alliance,
but he finds himself in an anomalous
position now on account of the DO
litical pettifogging of Donnelly and
Fish.
After the meeting he told an Even
ing Tribune man that the peoples
party would be injured materially by
the selfishness of that man Donnelly.
At the meeting held on Wednesday
Holton fought Donnelly tooth and
nail, but he fought him practically
alone:
Holton said: 81 had a resolution
prepared which provided that the
selection of delegates should be by
precincts and voting districts, each
county to be entitled to representa-
ton according to the votes cast for
Owen at the last election. I argued
that the peoples party was now a po-
litical organization-that it was not
a class movement any longer. While,
no doubt, the farmers alliance
would still be the predominant influ-
ence in the party, it was no longer
necessary to base the representation
upon the alliances and labor unions.
But Donnelly had already pre-
sented q resolution, basing the rep
resentation upon the number of ALI

Well, that much-talk-of Ovens
Phelps meeting of an alleged alliance
Committee was held at the Merchants
hotel in st. Paul last Tuesday, the
Goth inst. The D, O. P. press have
roared for weeks about the mighty
schism in the ranks OF the alliance
men, and have nursed the half-breed
boom in the hope of effectipg afusion
between the half baked crowd and
the d. o. p. Last Tuesdays meeting
was the elimination. The attend
ance was as follows: Darlington
Phelps, T. C. Hodgson, B. W. Brand
borg, Albert Warren, Jay LaDue,
Chas. Canning and J. C. Meyers. 81.
B. Martin, Tom Lucas and S. M.
Gwen were present as spectators.
There was nothing tangible for the
democrats to fuse with, and the meet
ing fizzled out in a set of resolutions
asking the peoples party executive
committee to confer with them and
make terms for their recognition and
representation at the Omaha conven-
tion of the peoples party. 1t is USE
less to try to galvanize that old alli-
ance campaign committee into exist
ence. It is thing of the past and is
superseded by the peoples party. The
adoption of the peoples party plat
form at the alliance state meeting in
Minneapolis last January and the
adoption by nearly every sub-alli-
ance in the state of resolutions en-
dorsing thatplatform establishes the
fact beyond controversy. These men
reject and denounce that platform in
unmistakable terms. The letter,
published elsewhere in this paper,
from Chairman Taubeneck of the ma
tional executive committee of the
peoples party, indicates clearly the
terms upon which they may be re-
ceived into the fold.

The Republicans OF North Carolina,

people will swell the alliance ranks.

Rally at Wellington Saturday.

Wellington, the beautiful capital city Of
Sumner county, will be in blaze of glory
Saturday. Congressman J. c. Burrows of
Michigan will address big Republican
rally there and unless al! signs Iail it will
be one of the grandest Republican rallies
ever held in the county. When Governor
Mckinley will be here Sumner county
promises to send up 1000 people, and it
would be eminent!y right and proper for
the Republicans of this county
to pay their neighbors in Sum-
ner fraternal visit on next
Saturday. Delegations from Augusta,
Winfield and other towns will be
there with bands. A fare of about 81 will
be made for the round trip. Mayor John
T. Showalter. who WAS in the city vest err
day, authorized the EAGLE reporter to say
that if Wichita will send 800 or 400 people
they will be we'll taken care of aud hospit-
ably treated. Congressman Burrows is
one of the best speakers on the tariff ques-
ton in the United States, and no good
Republican who can afford to make a
small! outlay and take a day off should
fail to hear him.

torium of the Y. NJ. G. A. building. The
room was lavishly adorned with grasses.
grains and vegetables, melons. squashes.
corn. potatoes, tomatoes, apples, etc. The
stage was arched with grape vine full OF
clustering fruit. Back of the altar stand
the wall was covered with notices, such
as. "Civil and Religious Liberty" No

full of grain in sheave, and large plants OF

bouquets of carna and roses and assorted
flowers Great punches OF golden
rod here and there, with an occasional
cluster OF sunfowers. 1t was fine dis
play. The exercises, with Mrs. Babb as
directress were singing by quartette com
posed of Mrs. Schwartz, Mrs. Mccall, Mr.
Walden. Mr.. Coates, with Mrs. Furlong
at the organ, scripture reading by the
pastor and singing by the congregation.
Then followed the reading of a paper by

thoughts. A solo by Mr.. Walden was very
finely rendered. A recitation by little
Miss Ella Frank was nicely spoken. An
address by Mrs. Babb was interesting and

of missions and individual obligation in 8

calculated to infuse the heart with thank
