The Lecture Fund.

The state convention voted, prac-
tically, 5000 into the State Lee
turer's hands, for his work. This
was more than he needs, inasmuch
as the Campaign Committee will now
take up all the work Except that of
the Institute and some organizing ef-
forts.) We therefore suggested to
the Campaign Committee that we
turn over the prosecution fund to
them, as in line with our own work,
and ask alliances hereafter to turn
over the fund to the campaign COM
mittee. This will leave us $500, which
is as much as we can use reasonably,
with the contributions which will
come in. The campaign committee
were pleased to have us do this, and
the work OF the alliance and the COM
mittee will go on harmoniously.
Meantime, we trust that the con-
tributions to the So 900 fund will go
with spirit-as we wish to send men
into unorganized districts. We have
already arranged with two gentle
men to go into Sherburne and Anoka
counties, at an expense OF $5.45
day for both.

The election of DR.. Fish as an cleo

The election of DR.. Fish as an elec-
tor by the 4th Congressional District
was permitted by the DR.. for a rea-
son stated st the meeting. After
time to look about the field for an
other man, the DIR. went to Mr.. Rich
mond twice and besought another
district meeting in order to withdraw
for some other candidate supposing
it would be done. But Mr.. Richmond
finally stated that it was thought
better not to recall the meeting. The
DR.. can resign at the nominating
convention, but it will require fresh
petition OF 1000 names, and there
fore, much against DR.. Fish's wish,
he will remain. The editor of the

A Royal Pedigree.

The alliance men of Todd county
are clear cut stay-in- the middle-of-
the-road adherents of the peoples par
ty. Their stalwart proclivities were
shown at their congressional district
meeting at St. Cloud, June IA. They
endorsed the action of the Indian
apolis Council and the platform
adopted at the St. Louis conference
and gave their unqualified endorse
ment to the organization OF the peo-
pies party in Minnesota as mapped
out by the state central committee
July Z, 81, at St. Paul. One man
stood out solitary and alone, and
prevented the meeting from record
ing it's unanimous vote. That man
was E. 81. Atwood, OF st. Cloud-a
Furlong-Sprague-P Phelps renegade.

Three of q Kind,

j. 81. Davis, is unable to see why
John Sherman should be ostracised,
and other senator's who advocate the
same measures as does he, be looked
upon as bright and shining lights.
He figures it out in this way:
Il have all my life been taught to
believe that John Sherman was all
that was pernicious and vile III poll
tics, and | was taught to revere Just
such men as Carlisle and German.
but when one month ago l saw Car
Isle and German and Morgan too,
stand upon the same floor, and on
the same day, with John Sherman.
and move that the money question
be referred to a joint commission
composed of emissaries of Great
Britain, felt that the same law that
impelled me to detest John Sherman
also impelled me to despise and de-
test Carlisle and German"

If any man who has the love of

his being, hesitate longer, as to
which'is the safest direction for him
to cast his ballot in the coming ma

lowing paragraph taken from cir

cry OF alarm against the liberty low

movement. They acknowledged that
things are nearing a desperate crises
but they say they do not favor AS

ducers to the wall by musket and

These are their own words:
"The farmers alliance and the

must take immediate steps to either
control these organizations or to dis
rupt them" Force at the present
time would be premature; we are not

Gazette. (DemOcratic.)
If the situation OF things was not
so pitiable, it would indeed be laugh
able to hear these democratic calam-
ity assistants pile ALL the odium of
monopolistic legislation upon their
twin associate in calamity making.
The song OF the democratic party
which has sounded from the hill tops
and from the valleys beneath, for so
many years past-"Wait till we have
a chance in the legislative halls and
the burdens OF the masses shall be
lifted"-is followed by wall of dis
appointment from the people. The
democrats have waited and watched
for a tide in the nations affairs,
which taken at the food should land
them on the shore of victory. The
tide has risen and the food came,
but alas for the promises. These
same d. o. p's have thrown away
their ''silver" opportunity and can
no longer plead for extension OF time
or lack OF opportunity. Many of the
representatives, pledged to and in
structed by their constituents, turn
ed their backs upon their pledges,
and left the free coinage bill founder
ing in the pool of corruption. 1t is
but another lesson added to the
many learned before, OF misplaced
confidence, and blasted hopes. The
high priests of Wall Street stand on a
gold basis and dictate to the leaders
of BOTH old parties. Experience
should be to the nations of the earth,
what it is to the individuals, means
of improving the future. Note this:
The TACT has yet to be recorded on
the pages OF history, that a corrupt
and powerful political party has
purged itself and crushed out the de-
mon of greed, and the unlawful love
OF power. History repeats itself. The
deduction is logical that there will
be no clean and helpful legislation for
the masses. by the parties who have
sown the seeds of distrust, oppres-
sion and calamity in the nations.
