SENATOR DONNELLY seems to have
a grudge against the people, and
wants to infiict session of the legis-
iature annually. Under the spell of
his eloquence Senator Sanborn want
ed the bill limiting the legislative
session to 60 days so amended as to
provide for an annual legislative ses-
sion, giving members an annual sala-
ry of 81 900. With the present mem
bership of the two bodies this would
entail salary expense of $l68,000
year, or $4,000 biennially, and the
other legislative expenses would run
this to about $3.50, 900, or more than
three times what the legislature costs
at present. The ultimate passage Of
such bill is extremely doubtful. If
vote of the people was taken upon
the subject, it would undoubtedly be
found that that body meets now as
often as they care to have it.

THE failure of two northwestern
states Wyoming and Montana-to
elect senators after long struggle,
and the treachery i'll North Dakota
by which a legislature elected a sena-
tor from the ranks of the party in the
minority, will only serve to strength
en- the impression among the people
that senators should be elected by
popular vote. There are probably
men now occupying seats in the Unit
ed States senate who would not have
been able to have obtained them had
the people been allowed to settle the
matter. And there is no question but
had the people had the opportunity to
have chosen the senators, some of the
disgraceful scenes which have taken
place during the past winter would
never have been enacted.

THE CHANGE.

Saturday Benz. Harrison stepped
into the ranks as a private citizen, land
Grover Cleveland again assumed the
position as a servant of the people.
Yet so quietly was the change made,
and so smooth is the current of gov
eminent, that the people will be.slow
to realize the change.
President Harrison has closed a sue
cesSful administration. 1t has been
essentially business administration,
and,the country has prOspered under
the policy which he has pushed to a
successful fulfllment,as never before,
and the prosperity Of the people as a
whole was never greater. His foreign
policy has been one for the rigid pro-
lection Of American rights every
where, and the spread Of American
trade, and will shine with increasing
brilliancy through the years to come.
In every respect the Harrison admin
istratiOn will take its place in history
among the greatest which have been
given the republic. Coming to the
high position comparatively unknown,
Mr.. Harrison has so conducted the af-
fairs Of government as to leave his
impress upon history as one of the
foremost statesmen of his day.
Mr.. Cleveland is reported as having
said that he wished to give the coun-
try a good business administration.
If at the end OF four years he can
look back over an administration as
successful as the one just closed, and
can survey country as prosperous as
is the United States today, he will
earn position in history of which he
may we'll be proud,

SPEAKING of the Hawaii annexation
question the ReUielo of ReUieocS for
March has the following which is
worthy Of thoughtful consideration:
''The Hawaiian Islands are the key
to The North Pasific If they fell in
to the hands of one Of the great
European powers, we should be COM
PEELED to fortify our Pacific Coast and
to maintain naval force in that
ocean at enormous expense. The
mere fact of our firm possession of
the Hawaiian group as an integral
and inalienable part of our national
territory, instead of making future
international complications prob
able, is precisely what will tend to
keep such complications at a min
imum. We can protect our Pacific
Ocean commerce, guard our Western
coast line, and maintain our control
of the prospective canal, at less than
half the expense for Notifications and
ships, if we hold Hawaii, that we
should be compelled to incur with
out the islands in our possession.
The article we print elsewhere in
this issue we'll emphasizes the COM
mercial and strategic Importance of
the one halting-place at the ''cross-
roads" of the Pacific. AS a matter of
military economy, we cannot afford
to be without Hawaii"

be made. No error or omission shall
invalidate an assessment. The assess
ment shall be prima facie evidence
that the proceedings up to the date of
such warrant were valid and regular
Provisions for procedure are also made
when an assessment or any part of it
may be set aside or declared void by
any court. The council may also es-
tablish street grades by two-thirds
vote. The citizens are given twenty
days to protest against such grade,
and the council thirty days to recon
slider their action by majority vote.
The whole plan of the assessment pro-
visions is said TO closely follow the
present charter of Minneapolis.
The whole bill was to come up and
be discussed at meeting of the at
torneys today and some changes will
doubtless be made.

The statement that. President
Cleveland will pay no attention to the
claims of those who held office under
his former administration has caused
commotion among those who had
hopes of again ''toasting their shins'
by a government fire. Mr.. Cleveland
is reported as saying that when he
left the White House four years ago
he went to work to earn his living as
every American citizen should, and
gave no thoughts to again securing
his high position until called by his
fellow citizens to again serve them,
and that he responded only from a
sense Of duty. that he should regard
the appearance of the old Office hold
ers as an indication that they did not
SO go to work, but had been waiting
in hopes of again securing the loaves
and fishes. Should this prove to. be
true, there will be walling and gnash'
ing of teeth among many Of those who
| for the first time in third of a cen
fury shared the spoils of office, and
would like to do so again. 1t is alto
gethe9 probable that they will regard
it as much a sense Of duty that they
may sacrifice themselves to serve the
public for a good, comfortable salary
as il is for Mr.. Cleveland.

CALIFORNIA; beet sugar production
rose from 100000 pounds in 1891 to
$4,000, 900 pounds in 1892 under the
stimulus of the sugar bounty. One
of the first moves of the Democratic
party will undoubtedly be to remove
this bounty, and so prevent further
gratifying increase of this nature.
Democracy prefers that our sugar
should be produced abroad.

The cOmmiss on to the State Alliance

where you pay high prices. Exactly
this will happen: The manufacturers
not being encouraged to make this
special i~nducement, carrying this special
line of goods for our benefit, and at
such low prices, will notify your State
Business Agent that the trade does not
pay expenses. and that after thirty
days, as per contract, they will cease

Will YOU allow u contract to dis

This matter should be discussed
freely in the meetings of the Sub ALI
ances, and pains taken to see that
every member knows that he can buy
shoes, for any member of his family,
direct from the manufacturers. Also
this point should be often called to
mind, that it is necessary to order be

GUANO.

There seems to be q misuGderstand-
ing as to selling Guanos this year. The
fertilizer company do lot take notes
for a less amount than 800, and we
wish to supply those who do not want
as mich as a 500 worth of fertilizer.
We thought it best to establish local
agents (Our regular Business Agents
where we cCuld) who would order in
car lots and supply these who only
wanted a small quantity. In a load
lots, you can order through the local
agent, or direct from the company. 1t
viii cost YOU just the same, and no
more unan it has in the past three
years. We have a large amount now
ready for shipment and would advise
all to send in their orders at once, as
the transportation companies may not
be able to move IL promptly as the
season advances.
These local agents are for the benefit
of those using less than car lots, and 1t
will come cheaper to them, as the
freight rates are twenty degrees higher
on less than car lots-than a lot
rates The company would add one
dollar per ton when shipped from the
factory in less than car lots. Make up
your orders early. Send for rates to

OUR SHOE

Since I have been serving the ALI
ance as State Business Agent it has
been my constant aim to try to furnish
the brethren whatever they needed, or
wanted. ON the very best terms pos
sible. To do this, with the various
lines of goods, has required many CON
tracts. Most Of my contracts have
been successful, while a few have been
failures. But I have never made a
contract from which [ was more hope
full of good results than that / have
recently entered into with the Postal
Shoe Co, of Boston. This line of goods,
as we'll as ready-made clothing, and
cloth, has given me much concern and
it has been most difficult to make salts
factory terms for satisfactory articles.
InOw believe that we have it on shoes.
lie only remains fOc you to give this
department a fair trial to confirm our
hopes. We have now in our office
about 5000 worth of sample shoes at
from 40 cents to $500 per pair and |
am sure that | never before saw such
goods for the money. These shoes are
sent directly from the manufacturer to
to consumer and are delivered at your
pOstoffice o. railroad staff n all trans
portatlon charges prepaid. Every pair
Is warranted to give satisfaction;
and if they do not, we cheerfully send
other shoes, or refund the money"
There are two classes Of our shoes:
the light and finer qualities sent to YOU
through the mails and may be ordered
by the single pair is desired, while
heavey boots and brogans will not ad-
NIT of the postage as it would cost as
much 80 send three Or four pairs by
mai astwenty-five or thirty by freight.
In order then to make this saving to
yourselves possible, these heavy goods
must be sent by freight, in lots of not
less than 100 pounds in one order. The
order can be made up of as many
different kinds as you wish, only there
must be enough to weigh 100 pounds
or over, for each shipment, as the
freight charges on small packages ia
Che same as on 100 pounds. To enable
you to determine how many to order
the average weight Of each kind is
given in the price list. 1t will NOT
take many families to make UP a 100
tOrder.
While the light and finer shoes NAV
E5e ordered by the single pair, yet it is
Netter for the Agency, and hence for
YOU, to cOndense your orders and send
CNe m in b the regular channel, through
