BACK DUES RENTED.

Do not forget it. The Executive
Committee of the State Farmers Al
lance, at their last meeting. held in
January, 1894, unanimously adopted
the following resolution. Let all the
alliances avail themselves of this
liberal concession.
Whereas, Many members of the al
alliance, in consequence of the hard
times, have fallen behind with their
dues: and whereas, we desire their
cooperation in our work, even more
than their money; therefore.
Resolved, That we hereby remit all
back dues of members in arrears,
provided they come in and pay the
dues of 20 cents each for the year
1894; and the secretary is hereby d.
rected to recognize all old local ALI
ances as in good standing which so
pay up their dues for not less than
seven members.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-04-04
ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, The state of Indiana has
adopted system of lOaning out pub
lie funds on real estate security at a
low rate of interest: therefore
Resolved. That we favor the adOp-
tion of similar course in this = -tc.
Resolved, That the THINKS and
concentrations of this convention
be, and the same are hereby, tender
ed to the Hon. John w. Willis, one of
the judges of the Second judicial dis
trlct. tor his able, fearless, and emit
nently just decision in the state ele-
vatOr case.
Whereas. The board of trade of the
city OF Minneapolis has rendered to
this convention efficient assistance
by extending the use of this hall and
appropriate committee rooms free Of
cost, besides giving to it's members
a hearty and cordial welcome: there
fore.
Resolved, That the farmers of this
state, through this alliance in con-
ventiOn assembled, do hereby extend
to said board of trade their sincere
thanks for the assistance and cour-
tesies thus extended, and will ever be
glad to receive from the members of
SdIo OOOy. 40 WClI DIS OUICI ClUlZcuS,
their hearty cooperation and sup
light, justice, and humanity, and
in securing the adoption of rem
edial measures, that shall rebound to
the credit and benefit of all true low
ers of their country and state.
Whereas, In the various counties of
this state, some eight thousand acres
were swept by hail last year, and the
farmers living thereon are very poor,
and will not have the means to pur-
chase seed-wheat with which to seed
their land in the spring; and
Whereas, 1t is believed there are
uneXpended balances Of appropria-
tions for similar cases of restitution,
Resolved, That we ask the govern
or and state auditor to enquire into
this matter and extend to these I'M
fortunate farmers every help in their
power.
Resolved, That this convention
urges upon all members of the ALI
ance the support of their local reform
press that are faithful to our cause
rather than to support local papers
that are enemies of reform, and
that condemn our principles as an
archistic, heretical and pernicious.
Whereas, 1t has been represented
that the farmers elevator company
at Madelia has been Disseminated
against by the Omaha railway COM
pany in the matter of being furnish
ed with cars in which to ship their
grain being denied cars, when the
market is advancing and flooded with
them on falling market: therefore,
Resolved, that we ask the members
of our executive committee in that
district to investigate this matter
and take steps to correct this injus-
tice.

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 a rod of iron, and
effectually prevented a fair express
sion of the sentiment prevailing
among all classes; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we demand the
immediate and unconditional taxa
tion 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
al taxes upon gross earnings received
by them and remaining due and I'M
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 their
holdings.
Resolved, That we condemn the
measure known as the the State Cap
itOl Bill as we'll as the means by which
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-04-04

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
called financial concerns, and invite
the grand and petit juries and all
county officials to do their duty. to
the end that the new state capitol,
if completed, may be built by the la
bors of those who desired it's cree
tiOn.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the Irvine plant established at Still
water; and we ask the farmers of this
state to give it their hearty support
by using the Irvine there manufac-
tured; and we also ask that suitable
agencies for the sale of the product
thereof may be established in each
county.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the naturalization of the liquor
traffic.
Resolved, That we favor the pas
sage of such laws as will permit the
payment o. taxes by installments by
SUN as uoeno. o..u., 1odving the mon
ey in the hands of the people instead
of in broken banks
Resolved, That we favor the cleo
tion of president, vice president and
U. s. senators by direct vote of the
people.
Resolved, That we favor the regu-
ton by law of railroad and express
charges to make them conform to the
present impoverished condition of
the people: and declare that the gov
eminent ownership of railroads, eX
press and telegraph companies, is the
only just and final solution of the
problem.
Resolved, That we call upon the
coming state and national conven-
tions of the reform movement, by
whatever name known, to place in
their platforms a demand that all
salaries of state and federal officials
shall be reduced to correspond to
those paid for like services rendered
in other callings.
Resolved, That we condemn the
act demonetizing silver, and the
methods and means used to secure
the same, believing it to be impolitic
and Unjust to SO contract the circu-
lating medium.
Resolved, That we believe the Sc
lection of J. Sterling Morton as sec
rotary of agriculture to be deliber-
ate and direct insult to the farming
and producing classes of this country
Resolved, That we condemn the is
suing of any more United States
bonds. We demand that there be an
increase of the money of the coun-
try by the issuance of full legal ten
der notes, direct, without the inter-
ventiOn Of banks of issue.
Resolved, That, last but not least,
we favor the adoption of the system
of initiative and referendum, since
all laws should emanate from and be
approved by the public.
RESOLVED, That the state alliance
heartily approves Of the work Of the
REppE SENTATIVE nowCnanar IT.

There is one famous American in England whom the N c. U. dares not refuse permission to ride. That person is Miss Frances E. Willard of Chicago, known the whole country over through her connections with the Woman s Christian Temperance union. This lady is visiting Lady Somerset, and the Eng hsh cycling papers are just beginning to speak about her. In recent issue Bi- cycling News prints the following inter- view.
 Counting Up all the odd 10 minutes turns, it has taken me 26 hours to learn to ride a bicycle. In October last com menced, and in February I could ride quite alone. But learned on the road and received hints and helps from young women friends who had but lately learned have been very cautious, for you see, we older folks find our bones less pliable and moro set than you younger ones. Therefore, if we fall, it is a much more serious business. near ly broke my arm in turning corner in the old tricycling days, and this has made me careful. y
 "what do you think about cycling as pastime?"
 Why, am enthusiastic over it and would thlnk it a splendid thing if some Of the royal ladies would take to it and thus bring it into fashion. But 1t will come gradually, for commercial men are realizing that it is profitable for them to make our safeGes and this urges men to

Get Fashions Consent.

All advocates of dlcss reform agree that it must he made fashionable before it can become popular And t locks now as if woman s suffrage was to profit by the same principle. The open book at sherry is receiving signatures rap idly, and talks iu Fifth avenue drawing roUus arc fUrtheriag the eause at wonderful rate. At one Of these talkn tho other afternoon Mrs. C. 4. Runkle a representative woman of the very best social life of the city, answered before a large gathering of women some of the most common objections to the woman suffrage question
 Mrs Runllg took up the points often raised that voting would unsox women; that going to the polls would be Q most disaereeable experience, because of the rough element to be encountered; that voting women would quarrel with their husbands and the rest, which seem al- most too absurd to be stated and yet which are arrayed as valid arguments against the movement very frequently,
 In the speaker hands these questions seemed more than puerlle and were quickly and coucludvely disposed of As to the issue whether women could fight if war were proclaimed, this ap- peared o Mrs. Runkle almost too ridic. ulous to consider Byvoting woman did not propose to enter the battlefield any moro than she would think of usurping meu's other arduous duties
 Following Mrs. Runsle, Mrs. Mont. gomery a graduate from Wellesley, made an address. Thls speaker claimed that the time was ripe for suffrage; that theoretically it was right, from logical and philosophical point it was right, and in accordance with the laws of evolution it was right Being sure the theory is right and having it demonstrated in practice leaves nothing to do or say. Woman has reached a point that calls for this step, and as she has not lost her femininity in her progress, nor has her physical or mental caliber suffered by her pioneering in various fields, it can hardly be possible she will be the loser by thinking and acting politics.

The suns Fire.

How was heat originally imparted to our great luminary? Was he born in fire" and has he been in an active state of combustion since the day of his birth, or was he once Ia darksome body, fit. ting hither and thither and yet going nowhere in particular?
 If once a mighty planet of somber hue, why is he now the torchlight as well as the heating apparatus of Q great system of worlds, and, being both, who is equal to the task of calculating even the cycle of time wherein the great change took place? 1t may have been that there were no worlds in what is now the solar sys- tenn prior to that time, or, if there were, probably only two.
 These two black giants of this dark ened portion of the great universe may have collided and coalesced into vast nebula, from whence the whole of our system has been evolved. If light and heat were thus mechanically produced and still retained to certain degree in our sun, the largest fragment of the two colliding worlds, is it not altogether like ly that the great solar fires will finally burn out and that as result man and all living creatures will become extinct on all of the inhabited planets?-St. Louis Republic,
