CoWley County Resolutions.
A. & I. U.

EDITOR ADvooArE:-The following reso-
lutions were adopted at the regular ses-
sion Of the Cowlsy County Alliance, held
April % and 20, in the city OF Winfield.
They were adopted by unanimous vote,
and the secretary was instructed to fur
nish q copy to the ADVOCATE and other
reform papers:
Whereas, The charge has been made and
is being made that an organized attempt
would soon be made to pledge the Alliance
as an organization to the Peoples party OF
some other partisan policy; and
Whereas, These charges have OF late been
often repeated, and Alliance men through
out the country warned against it; now
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this Al
lance that we hereby renew our opposition
TO this measure, and respectfully serve
notice upon all interested parties that We
will ever be found lsboring to abort suof
an attempt and striving to preserve our OF
ranization in its purity, free and untram
meled with any partisan pledges anc
struggle for the upbuilding Of toiGng hu
msnity by educating ourselves in the line o.
political reform in q purely non-partisal
spirit. Also be il
Resolved, That we hereby denounOe an
such an attempt as violation of the spirit o
our institution, and calculated TO demOral
ize, not TO say disrupt, the organization
and we look upon il as the special handi
craFt Of our natural foes, the political dem
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-24

agogues of the day, and we believe it a
scheme of theirs to disrupt the order.
Resolved, That we deplore the bitter CON-
troversy now being wsged between the Ma
tional Economist Publishing Company on
the one hand and the officers of the Ma
tionsl Alliance on the other, and we ear
nestly beseeoh them to desist from said
controversy and turn their efforts in the di-
reotion of advancing the cause of reform.
If the Economist has gone over to the dem
ocratio party, let its readers be the judge;'
and if it's course is to be non-oommittal at
this time, let it's magnificent fight for re-
form measures in the past atone. On the
other hand, if the officers of the National
Alliance have been dominated by partisan
influences, let the membership Of the order
be the judge and if they have committed
the sin of attempting to pledge the Alliance
to the Peoples party or any other partisan
policy, let the mantle of "in all things es-
sential unity and in all things charity" fall
around them, and let them atone for it by
bending their efforts towards placing the
Alliance as an organization upon higher
and better plane-snd that is above any
partisan or sectarian creed. Be it
Resolved, That we hereby express our full
and implicit confidence in the present
officers, both state and national, of our Or
gsnization, and rely upon their ability and
integrity to preserve the Alliance free from
entanglements.

The Summer EnCampment,

To all whOn it mag concern:
Farmers days." have been arranged, or
are being arranged at all the principal
Chautauquas throughout the United
States, at which the Summer Encamp-
ment Committee N. F. A. & /. U. have
agreed to supply speakers.
These meetings occur during the
months Of July and August, and are
scattered from Oregon to Maine. Real
izing that the financial and industrial
questions will be the most intensely inter
estinR themes for discussion during the
coming summer, and that the people
want to hear men of national reputation
and experience discuss these subjects,
the committee have secured the services
for part or all Of July and August fol
discussions at summer meetings OF over
thirty Of the most eminent writer's ano
speakers on political economy in the
United States, among which may bsfounc
Senator Jones, Of Nevada; Senator Stew

The Great Triangle.

Oklahoma, the Indian Territory country,
and the soon-to- -be-opened Cherokee Strip,
form great triangle of the finest unde-
veloped agricultural country in America,
which in the near future will become the
most prosperous farming region in the
United States, because it produces every
thing from cotton to corn. ALI grasses,
eereals and fruits are grown successfully.
For reliable information concerning this
favored region for new homes and farms,
our readers are advised TO send fifty cents

Home, Field and Forum, Guthrie, Okl., the
only agricultural and home journal pub
lished in that territory.

strongest roster Of speakers to select
from that have ever been controlled for
season by any organization.
Believing that the best means of edu-
eating the people to a full knowledge of
these important subjects is through fair
discussion, our committee invite the same
everywhere and stand ready to furnish
speakers for the Alliance side Of such
discussion, at any point in the United
States on reasonable notice, it being un-
derstood that the opposition are to fur
nish equally prominent men to defend
their side.
Having arranged for these speakers we
wish to fully occupy their time and ur-
gently request the friends Of reform
everywhere to organize meetings, and
write to me for speakers Gt we have not
enough to fill the demands we will secure
more) and let US make the summer OF A.
| D. 1893 famous for the discussions of the
people all over the nation.
Temperance or other summer encamp-
ments who can have Farmers Day will
be supplied with the best speakers at low
est cost. Any wishing speakers will
please write at once, as expense and time
may be saved by having applications all
| in before appointments are made.
In case of meetings in congressional
Districts, or places where the member
ship is small, there should be no false
modesty to prevent charging small ad-
mission fee to defrsy the necessary ex-
penses.
There Is no place where we will not
send speakers il meetings are arranged
for in good faith; our object is educational,
and not speculative.
Hundreds of meetings have already
been contracted for. We want to reach a
thousand more, that as many people may
hear the true causes for the depressed
lcondition Of industry, and the relief for
the same, as possible. Let each one do
his part. 1. h. DEAN,

A Scheme to Loot the Treasury,

A@NOS SAA~
The end Of the war at Topeka last
winter is not yet. II the republicans
should, by hook or crook, gain control Of
the next state administration and legls-
lsture, they will make it a pretext to
drain the treasury dry and re-drain it
whenever there are any funds for the next
twenty years. The editor Of the Hsmil-
ton County Bulletin has given the scheme
awsy-inadvertently, Of course. He Is q
rank republican, and was given custody
Of money last winter to assist the g. ops
When asked to give an account OF his
stewardship, he explained as follows in
bis paper:
ave took this money down to Topeka
ourself to turn it over to j. M. Simpson
and while there we were asked to serve
"a an assistant sergesnt-at-arms and
was promised So per day for each and
every day we served. We staid at To-
peka four days serving in that capacity,
and we used this money in defrsying our
expenses, which we considered perfectly
proper, as we were in the employ of the
legal house Of representatives, helping
sustain it, and that was the purpose for
which it was raised. We should not pay
O dollar of this money back until we get
our pay, and that has not been paid uH
vet, and from letter received from Secre-
tery Brown, we will not get it until the
legislature meets again. After stating
that our name does not appear on the
list provided for by an appropriation Of
the legislature he says in conclusion
Il know of no way to remedy it now
until the legislature convenes again, and
then presume there will be no difficulty
in getting an amount inserted in the mis-
cellsneous appropriation bill sufficient
to cover amounts due number OF assist
ant sergeAnt-at-srms, who have beer
overlooked in this report, and there are
quite q large number of them.'"
The scheme is as plaine as the nose OF
YOUR face. When the legislature recon
venes (supposing it to be republican,
every man who claims to have been
deputy sargeant-at-arms will be paid tol
whatever time he may claim to have
served. 1t will not be necessary for him
to be listed-those on the list have al
ready been paid. 1t is safe to say that
majority of the republicans in the STATE
will discover by that time that they ar'
the identical persons who battered dowr
the doors Of representative hall.
It will be seen at q glance what grea
opportunity for Doodle would be afforded
The only way to prevent the looting o
the treasury is to see that the republi
cans are kept out Of power.-Burlingam

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.

sales advertised during one week In
thirEy-seven counties Of the state. Among
other things it also suggested that the
Copital might gather from these sales
quite a harvest OF " mortgages released "
for it's prosperity column. Our esteemed
contemporary Of the Scott City Repu0A-
can did not relish the ADVOCATES Ian
RusRe, and says sit emanated from q
brain that was grossly ignorant OF, or
strongly preiudiced against Kansas and
was used for the sole purpose Of Snj~rs'g
Kansas" Then the judge stopped
g standing up" long enough to strike
western Kansas, and many OF the good
people that live here, as well as those
who used to live here, the severest and
unkind blow that we have noticed for
many moons:
"No doubt the thirty-ssven counties
referred to embrace the western part OF
the state where most Of the foreclosures
occur, Of which not one in 1OOare homes
advertised for sale under the sheriff's
hammer It is q clear case OF prevari-
cation in the ADVOCATE, and no doubt
one Of it's exchanges contained notices,
and is included in the '267' counted, OF
sheriff's sales in Scott county, county
in which, since it's organization, there
has been but one case OF foreclosure
where a home has been advertised for
sale under the sheriff's hammer. In
every case where foreclosures have oc'
Cured, the lands have been abandoned,
stSa in most cases the mortgagor has OBJ
tanned ss much money Rs possible with
no intention Of doing otherwise than
abandon the land and not pay cent OF
interest. Such lands are being foreclosed;
three, four and five years interest has
become due, and in default OF payment,
holders Of mortgages, as q matter OF
course, foreclose."
Upon examining our exchanges we lind
that the week previous to the appear
ance Of the ADVOCATES article, thirty
sheriff-sale notices appeared in the
Cherokee county papers, a dozen in
Sumner county, the same in Edwards
and in many other eastern and central
counties Of the state. We also found
that the county treasurers in nearly
every county in the state were publish

A WISE SUGGESTION.

The young man had married the
rich mans daughter, and wasn't kill
ing himself with work to support her.
One day the father called him up to
call him down.
Look here" he said emphatically,
"why don't you go to workG"
81 don't have to-" the son-in law
replied with brazen effrontery.
"Well, you will have to-"
"Why will I?'
because, sir, I can't live always to
support you"
But you will leave us something's
mot much, I won't. There won't
be anything to leave"
The son in-law was alarmed.

don't mean to tell me that you have
nothing9" :
That's about the size of it,"
The s~on-in-law devoted himself to
profound thought for several seconds.

LITTLE BOB STOOD THE TEST

The "blue line" street car stopped
at the corner, says a writer in the
Youths Companion, and an anxious
looking young woman put a small boy
inside.
"Now, Bob" she said, as she hurried
out to the platform again, "don't lose
that note I gave you; don't take it out
of your pocket at ALL"
Nom" said the little man, looking
wistfully after his mother, as the con-
ductor pulled the strap, the driver I'M
screwed the brake, and the horses
shaking their bells, trotted off with
the car.
whats your name, Bob9" asked a
mischievous-looking young man sitting
beside him.
Robert Cullen DEEMS" he answered.
"Where are you going9"
ITO my grandma's."
"Let me see that note in your
pocket"
The lock Of innocent surprise in the
round face ought to have shamed the
baby's tormentor, but he only said
again:
"Let me see it."
81 tan't," said Robert Cullen Deems.
"See here, if you don't, I'll scare the
horses and make them run away"
The little boy cast an apprehensIVe

look at the belled horses, but shook his
head.
Here Bob, I'll give you this peach
if you'll pull that note halfway out of
your pocket"
The boy did not reply, but some of
the older people looked angry.
CT say, chum, I'll give you this
whole bag of peaches, if you will just
show me the corner of you note, said the
tempter. The child turned away as if
he did not wish t. hear any more, but
the young man opened the bag and
held it just where he could see and
smell the luscious fruit.
A look of distress came into the
sweet little face; 1 believe Bob was
afraid to trust himself and when a
man left his seat on the other end to
get off the car, the little boy slid
quickly down, left the temptation be-
hind, and climbed into the vacant
place
A pair of prettily gloved hands
began almost unconsciously to clap,
and then everybody clapped and ap-
plauded until it might have alarmed
Bob, if a young lady sitting by had
not slipped her arm around him and
said, with a sweet glow on her face:
"Tell your mamma that we all con
graduate her upon having a little man
strong enough to resist temptation and
wise enough to run away from it.
I doubt if that long, hard message
ever reached Bob's mother, but no
matter the note got to his grandmother
without ever coming out of his pocket.
