tits perfectly amazing that tens
Of thousands Of laboring men and
mechanics will 20 to the polls year
after year and vote the Democratic
ticket, when they ought to know
that the whole policy of that party
from the dawn of it's history, is re-
trenchment-a form of retrench-
ment that ''retrenches" the money
Of the people in the vaults of the
national treasury, while armies of
workers are thrown out of employ
ment to glut the labor market in
other branches. President Cleve-
land pursued this policy until he
had accumulated millions of money
in the vaults of the treasury-and
then the Democrats raised the howl
about 'sthe surplusp' when if legit-

Down in Elizabeth, N. j., the
people have gone crazy over re-
ligion. A revivalist named Mills
has been holding meetings there;
1900 men, women and children
have ''found their savior;''. thirty
saloon-keepers have smashed their
whiskey-jugs, closed up their rum
shops and joined the church; men
kiss each other on the streets and
ask ''what have you done for
Jesus" A great wave of religion
has swept over the entire city and
environs. Such outbursts of re-
ligious fervor effect little perma-
nent good. In a month or six
weeks the rum-seller will be dis
pensing "liquid damnation'' the
same as before, and the converted
brethren will not. be 50 lavish with
their caresses-they may conclude
to sensibly confne their endear-
ments to the sisters.

Another County Heard From.

The platform is a disgrace to
the name Of reform. It contains
reckless and indefensible doctrines
which are not maintained by the
mass of Alliance members and the
well balanced farmers Of the State.
It was forced .upon.the convention
and will be repudiated, and only
those planks which are founded on
correct principles and true reform
and progress will be sustained.
The new management, however,
cannot seriously betray, mislead
or barter away the Alliance or it's
cause. The subordinate Alliances
are composed Of the best element
among the farmers, Of men of
honor, good sense and an earnest
purpose to do right, and they will
hold in check and defeat any at
tempt to fanaticism and democrat
ization, and will demand and main
tain the organization, restore it to
the right track and direct it in the
noble cause for which it is de-
signed. Albert Leu Standard,

down from the woods on account

Mrs. W. A. Smith is having a
siege of the grippe. A number of
Others are enjoying the same
luxury.
The Livonia people are having

DR.. Whittemore and Fred Hill
dreth, of Elk River, spent few
hours at the Brook last Wednes-
day. They want q few car loads
of cattle.
The hounds that were bought by
residents of this town arrived at
Princeton last Saturday, and all
who have seen them are very much
pleased with their looks. If some
could be got at Princeton we could
join drives and have some high
old times chasing wolves.
We had occasion a few DAYS
since to visit the dairy stables of
Whit Barnum. He thinks dairy
ing pays as well as any other
branch of farming and a little bet
ter. He has a very ingenious de-
vice for watering cattle . in the
stable, in fact, the best we ever
saw. He is fitted up for twenty
head of COWS. A tank is situated
at one end Of the stable; attached
to the tank is horizontal pipe
running the whole length of the
barn directly in front of the COWS:
on the floor between every two
COWS, and fastened with bolt to
the stanchion, is a galvanized iron
bucket with the top on line with
the top of tank; a vertical pipe
connects each Of the buckets with
main pipe, with check valve to
hold what water flows into it..
when the tank is full the buckets
are full, as the water will find its
level. A waste pipe at top Of
tank conducts the overflow into a
trough in the yard for other cattle.
1t is one Of the most complete
arrangements for watering dairy
cows in use. The advantages are
numerous. The water is all the time
before the cows to drink when
they please. A COW giving 4 GOOD
mess Of milk needs plenty Of drink
as the milk is about IS parts water.

TALK OF SECESSION.
The Rock County Alliance About
to Secede from the State
Organization.

At it's meeting next Saturday,
Luverne Alliance will discuss the
question Of a separation from the
State organization and the form
alton of what has. been termed a
Farmers club to carry on that part
of the Alliance idea, which covers
the debate and consideration of
topics of mutual interest. In the
opinion of the Neaos, such move
would not only be unwise but un-
necessary. We have been so plain
IN the expression of an opinion
upon the results of the late State
convention, that there should be
no doubt about the position we
have taken, position, we are
glad to observe, which is also, that
of those whom we consider the
best men in the Alliance, not only
Of this locality but in other parts
of the State, and the Alliance pa
pers all over Minnesota are falling
into line, obeying the voice of
popular opinion, to which they
give expression. For this very
reason there is yet hope for the
Alliance. A reaction is to be
looked for, and the sub-Alliances,.
as they study the questions at is
sue, unswayed by the presence of
the artful oratory Of demagogic
leaders,, and the natural enthusiasm
and recklessness which always pre-
.vades a large gathering, will work
out the salvation Of the great re-
form movement. a convention
for the nomination of State officers,
will be held in q few months, and
at that time, the Noaos expects to
see a platform adopted, more in
accord with the sober, conserya
tive, second thought, of the great
farmer body. Therefore it's adj
vice to the local Alliance, is to
move slowly. The members did
not go into the movement hastily,
neither should they drop out
hastily. Make the Alliance a
farmers club in all that the name
implies, and after matters have
definitely shaped themselves, de-
eide whether the State organiza:-
ton is worthy of their continued
support or not. Rock Go1uay

"INVENTED" NEW9

The Princeton UNION, referring to
the Journals West hotel conclave state
ment, says 1.-THE story was invented
solely for the purpose of injuring Mr..
Nelson and stirring up strife between
his friends and those of Senators Davis
and Washburn.'' If the story was
simply q dull and malicious ''inventiono
why does editor Dunn take the trouble
to tell all about it? The UNION is a
strong Nelson paper, too, and it seems
singular that editor Dunn should seek
to ''injure Nelson by the publication.
The Journal never has to ''invent0
news. 1t gets the real article in large
quantities. The Journal is not publish
ed to interfere with Mr.. Nelson's polit-
lcal aspirations, neither is it printed
for his particular benefit, or for that of
any other Politician Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
The Journal is a great newspa-
per, second to none in the North
west, but in this instance it has
invented news, and 'sinvented''
it for the purpose Of prejudicing
Mr.. Nelson's political aspirations,
if he has any.
Three Of the gentlemen who
were reported as participating in
the caucus at the Lowry banquet
have been heard from, viz, Gov.
Merriam, D. M. .Clough and H. F.
Brown. Gov. Merriam writes:
1T would be utterly absurd for me
to deny all the various charges
made against me by the newspa-
pers. [ should do nothing but
spend my time in writing denials.
There is no truth whatever in the
Journal article. Nor am I can
dldate for Senator Davis's posi-
tion." D. NJ. Clough says, Il
never heard or thought of such a
thing until I read the Journal
article. I did not even speak to
>. j. Hill that evening, and merely
shook hands with Gov. Merriam,
Thos. Lowry and Henry Brown.
l have no desire to antagonize Sen
ator Davis. I think he is one of
the ablest senators in Washington. .
MIR. Browns denial is even more
explicit. He remarks: ssTruth!
There is not a line of truth in the
Journal article. Our State candi-
dates or the senatorial question
were not discussed in my presence
that evening, not even mentioned.
AS for myself I am not candidate
for any office and would not accept
an office. My personal choice for
Acknowledgements would be D.
NJ. Clough. The Republicans Of
this State will select their candi-
dates at their next State conven-
ton"

deliberately s'inventing'' news.
