the first of May and November in each
year, the latter report to be accom-
panied by cents per capita dues on the
membership of their respective states.
10. All communications Of whatever
character, whether printed or written,
which are addressed officially to the Sec
retary, or other officer of body, are
the property of such body, and should be
filed with it's records. All official CORE
spondence should be under the seal Of
the body.
H. The president should exemplity
the unwritten work frequently. The
lecturers of subordinate bodies should
read the obligation in open meeting at
least once in each quarter, and by conH
menting on the duties therein imposed,
impress the members with the absolute
Importance of its observance. s
II. ONE OF THE FIRST AND
MOST ESSENTIAL DUTIES DEVOLV-
ING UPON A STATE ORGANIZATION,
is TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND
PROMOTE A JEALOUS, STRONG AND
RELIABLE STATE ORGAN, DEVOT
ED SOLELY AND LOYALTY TO THE
PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES OF
OUR ORDER. In no way can we so
successfully combat error and defend
truth as through tho columns of an i'll
telligent, Independent, manly press. En-
courage among the members, and by
every means, the circulation of the state
and national organs and other papers
and literature devoted to our cause.
13. Let us keep constantly in mind
the great truth-that proper education
among the farmers in the PRACTICAL
ECONOMICS OF FHUSBANDRY AND
GOVERNMENT is the sure safeguard
to our social, moral and financial ad-
vancement.

crop prospects too good to cause and de-
cided bullish sentiment but remember
the chances are all on the bull side, as
both cereals would advance rapidly on
bad weather and crop damage. Visible
supply Of corn decreased 100000 bu.
Oats decreased 100000 bu
Provisions-Pork is active and specu-
latiOn is reviving; prices lower on larg-
er receipts of hogs, but on these breaks
We would buy 1t.
Railroad stocks are strong and news
to all is bullish.
Write us for Daily Price Current and
market letter; also private telegraph
code and other information which we
give without charge. Orders in grain
taken in lots of 1000 bu and upwards
on l and 2 cent margins. Pork in SO
barrel lots and upwards. Stocks, 10
shares and upwards. Commissions as

lar. These quarterly dues are payable
in advance. After the organization of a
state body, the national order receives
none of these dues or initiation fees. It
all remains in the state. The only
source of revenue to the national order
is the five cents per capita paid by each
member on or before the first days of
June and December in each year. Coun-
ty organizations, where there is no
state organization on the first days of
July and January, should report their
strength, and send five cents for each
member to the national secretary, and
20 cents to the state secretary.
2. Trade arrangements should be
brought before the body for considera-
tion at a regular meeting, but called
meeting may be held to finish the con-
sideration of the same.
3. The alliance should always be
opened promptly at the hour set for
opening.
4. The new semi-annual password is
given out on the first of July and Janu-
ary in each year, and will be sent to
the state secretaries from the national
Office on the first of June of each year,
and will be sent out from the national
meetug in December of each year.
| When a new password is received by
the president, he should announce in
| open Alliance that~he is ready to give
the same, and all, members will ad-
vance to him and receive it. AS mem
bers advance for that purpose, the pres
ident will call their names and ask the
secretary if they are clear ON the books;
| if the answer is in the affirmative, they
are entitld to the word; but if the an
| swer is in the negative, they are not
entitled to the word, and the president
has no right to give it; and no person
: is entitled to sit in open Alliance under
any circumstances, who is not entitled
to receive the word for the curren
term
5. No funds Of the Alliance should b.
paid for any purpose, except by a vote
of the house, unless specially provided
for.
6. County Alliances or Unions, wher
they meet, should be called to order b,
the president, who will call upon tn
secretary to read the list of accredite,
delegates. The secretary will read tn
names of such brothers as have pre-
sented him with certificates OF their elec
tion to the body, provided the Allianc
they seek to represent has paid all fee
and dues due the County Alliance O
Union. If they have not so paid the.
are not entitled to representation.
7. Be careful how you use the blacl
ball; give all eligible persons of good
moral character, upon profession o
their faith," chance for membership
but do not hesitate moment to rejec
or expel any one who has proven I'm
worthy.
8. SELECT FOR OFFICERS TIL
BEST AND TRUEST MEN-those VIII
will be prompt, faithful and vigilant
1t is highly important that the SECRE
TARY BE WELL QUALIFIED. H
should be paid for his services, an
should be kept as long as he is faithful
and efficient.
} 9. State secretaries will make a sta
tistical report to the national secretary
on blanks to be furnished by him, o.

row evening to consider the proposed new
charter of Wilmington. This is right
There are many things that require ex-
plauation and the attendance Of theotiicers

sums OF money collected annually frcm
them.
We urge upon all of our readers to go
to the meeting early and take front seats.
Whom questions are raised let every man
have his say.
Don't wait for some one else to speak,
but talk out yourselves plainly and blunt
ly II you will.
The occasion ought not to be one of full
some tlattery but of honest and straight
forward discussion of the question Of bet
ter government for Wilmington.
1t cannot BIO denied that we have, In the
existing system, very little of home rule.
The new Charter will place the affairs of
the City under the control of the people
where they should be.
Let the people be heard.
