RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the State Alliance at
Minneapolis Jan. 10, 1894.

WHEREAS The people of our state
and nation have recently had pre-
sented to them in forcible manner
the means used by the ruling powers
to defeat the will of the people in
more than one instance; and
WHEREAS, The various corporate
and sO-called financial leaders have
for years ruled the masses-rich and
poor alike-with rod of iron, and
effectually prevented fair express
sion of the sentiment prevailing
among all classes; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we demand the
immediate and unconditional taxa
ton of all railroad lands, for current
as we'll as for back taxes.
RESOLVED, That we demand that
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway, and all other railway COM
panies maintaining corporate exis-
tence, be required to pay to the state
Oh taxes upon gross earnings received
by them and remaining due and un-
paid, even where such companies fail
to operate their lines of road but
have gross earnings: and we call upon
the attorney general to wind up all
such corporations as fail to them
selves operate their roads.
Resolved, That we call upon the
governor of this state and the presi-
dent of the United States to remove
the present incompetent bank exam
liners, to the end that competent ex-
aminers may be appointed and the
public and private funds be deposit
ed in solvent and safe concerns.
Resolved, That the course pursued
by part, if not all, of the so-called
daily press of the twin cities in shield
ing and defending the criminal acts
of the official, political, and financial
leaders of this state, is disgrace to
them, to the said cities, and to the
state of Minnesota, and calculated to
endanger the lives, liberty, and prop
erty of her citizens. and to foster and
encourage the commission of crime.
Resolved, That in the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme court Of this
state destroying the state elevator
law, we feel that said court has
usurped the legislative function and
set aside the will of the people, thus
destroying their sovereignty.
Resolved, That we demand that all
persons who have amassed their for
tunes out of school, university, or
state lands, be made to disgorge any
and all sums they may have illegally
or fraudulently acquired; and we in
vite all regents of the university
and other officials, past and present,
who have so acquired, or aided others
in unlawfully acquiring lands, to va
cate their offices and disgorge thei1
holdings.
Resolved, That we condemn the
measure known as the the State Cap.

ventiOn assembled, do hereby extend

Whereas, In the various counties of
this state, some eight thousand acres

Whereas, 1t is believed there are

tions for similar cases of restitution,
Resolved, That we ask the govern

this matter and extend to these un-
fortunate farmers every help in their
power
Resolved, That this convention
urges upon all members of the alli-

it's passage was secured, and invite
that new legislative body the SUI
preme court-to apply to it the same
rule that was applied to the elevator
| bill.
Resolved, That we condemn the
fraudulent management of many so

! Resolved, That we favor the regu-

PREMIUMS,

Hon. Thos. E. Hill. the author of "Hill's
Manual" has lately brought out a most
important work under the title money
Found" in which he proposes an effective
yet conservative remedy for the present
business depression and distress among
working men. He argues that the main
cause of the country's distress is lack of
those mis-called national" and that the
true remedy is for the government to
open its own banks, pay three per cent on
long time deposits, besides receiving de-
posits subject to check without interest,
and lend money to every one having good
Hill holds, will bring instant relief alike
to those who have no safe place of deposit
for their savings and to those who are
obliged to pay exorbitant rates of inter-
est under the present system. 1t will also
enable all business to be done with
possible. It will not add to the cost of
government, but will on the other hand
afford a net revenue of nearly 4OO.0OO0OO.
An appendix to the book contains a
glossary of financial terms and summary
of historical and statistical facts relating
to finance which is simply invaluable for
reference to any intelligent writer, speak
er or voter. The price is SLIGO in full

Hitting the Nail.

The travel of thousands of human be-
ings up and down the tiled corridors Of
the pOstofice has so worn the tiles that
it is like walking over plowed ground.
An old nan and his wife, evidently
strangers on a visit, were inspecting the
interior Of the building the other day,
when she noticed the roughness and
called his attention to it. and added:

"Of course it don't" he replied, as he
stopped to look.

Cant be. Stone floors can't spring.

window curtains at 6 or Z in the morn

four hours. At 6 in the afternoon he
rose, dressed for dinner and returned to
bed again between 10 and II.
Being unable to sleep much, he found
pleasure in ringing for the servants.

ONE OF TIE FIRST PIANOS MADE
Interesting History of an Old Musical In
That Has Travelled.


In a music store on Third street, be-
tween Marion and Columbia, there is an
old piano which attracts much attention.
The old musical instrument is of the
upright style and is in a fair state of
preservation, though it is nearly one hun
dred years old. 1t has a keyboard with
white keys for the regular notes, and
black keys for the sharps and fats, just
ike the pianos of today. These, when
deity touched, u the ancient instru-
ment to discourse most eloQuently.
No n could tell its great age by hear
ing it played on. Its tones are still har-
moniOus and t~uneful, though, Of course,
it cannot be compared with the best
pianos of today, when volume or modula-
ton Of tone is considered. It's front is
ornamented with wooden s~crollwork,
behind which is a crimson cloth of fine
texture. The frame on which the strings
are stretched is of wood, while the frame
of the modern piano is of iron. The
double row of keys is followed to this
day, and the interior construction is
much the same as in vogue at present.
The fact that the ancient instrument
is in such a good state of preservation is
a high tribute to the old time piano
makers. They built their instruments to
last. This is said not to be the case with
many of the present piano manufacturers.
The superannuated instrument has an
interesting history. The Nineteenth
Century had counted off but three years
when it was bought by al English gen
tleman for his family of the makers, j.
& J. Hopkinson, Of Regent street, Lon
don. It was made IN the year 1902 and
sold in 1903. 1t passed as an heirloom
from one member of the family to an
other until it came into the possession of
a branch that left London for America
in the year 1864. The voyage was made
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe.
During the voyage a heavy gale was en-
countered, and the piano was washed
overheard with other things, but was
finally fished out of the briny ocean
The family that brought the instru-
ment to America settled at Victoria, B.
c., and they passed away one by n
until only two sisters were left. Finally
one of these died and the other became
insane with grief. Then it became nee
essary to administer on the estate of the
sisters, and the piano was sold by order
of the probate court. The instrument
then fell into the hands of a gentleman
named johnson, who resided in Victo-
ria.
In 1869 Mr.. johnson sold the instru-
ment to a gentleman who had it in his
possession for the past twenty-five years.
During that period it has been at Port
Ludlow, Olympia, WILDLY Island and
| Seattle. Once it was in a fire, in which
$1,000 damage was done, and it was
saved. 1t was moved from Seattle to
Victoria twice. Finally the last owner
traded it off for an instrument of mod
ern make, giving good boot.-Seattle
Telegraph.

Latest Fashion in Clothes and Children.
The small woman who fervently
prayed that there might be no ''best
clothes" in heaven certainly ought not
to be unhappy now, for even the best
clothes are simple, and are made SO that
she can move and be happy in them.
Silks, satins, laces and iummery on chill
dren are only evidences of the folly Of
their mothers, for the wisest and
w%ealthiest women dress their children
in the simplest and plainest manner.
You see, babies who quote Shakespeare
at five, or who are looking for microbes
at seven, are counted bad form, while
those who dig in the sands for precious
stones, or build houses that are washed
away by the incoming waves, are the
ones who are going to be healthy and
