Our Duty.

"There is duty which follows
every responsibility of life" This
is sound proposition, and will
hold coed, no matter what station
in life the individual may occupy.
1t applies as we'll to the rich as
to the poor; to the wise and the
unwise to the Greek and to the
barbarian. That duty and re-
sponsibility go hand in hand
though all human effort and must
be accepted as a cardinal truth.
This duty may relate to the indi-
vidual, or extend to those near
or far. 1t is always present, and
when properly understood is a
faithful and unerring guide. I'm
der ordina ary circumstances, a
majority of the people will per-
form duty when made plainly
known. The individual in his in
dividual capacity can oftimes re.
concile his conscience to certain
actions when he has proven re-
creant to his duty as an individ
ual; but the difficulties of such a
settlement increase when the
neglect affects the conditions and
rights of others. When person
by his own act joins with others
to promote the advancement of
any cause or for the attainment
of any purpose their sense of du-
ty should become more enlarged
because the responsibilities have
become greater.
In all organizations there should
be definite object 10 work for,
and should pe followed by a uni
ty of action on the part of every
member. Just so long as there
was unity. of purpose among the
members of the Farmers Ali
ance its strength and influence
was powerful. Their achievements
staggered the imaginations of its
most ardent supporters, and if all
its members had continued faith
full to their obligation the accom-
plishments would have increased
in proportion to the amount of
duty performed.
The duty involved upon each
individual member of an Alliance
must include desire to work for
the advancement and best inter
ests of the order, and the only
possible way to make a success
of any organization is to enjoy
the confidence of each other and
back 1T up with a full under
standing that in things essential
unity, and in all things charity.
The unity feature of the organi-
zation was what gave it Hercule-
an strength in its beginning, and
if members will restore it to its
former prestage it will be a great
er power for good than ever be-
fore. That designing men found
their way into the organization
for selfish purposes has been
abundantly demonstrated, but
the Alliance is not an exception

to such impositions and should
not be condemned for that reason.
Jurors and witnesses in court Of

peUurors, and forever afterwards
they have the mark of Cain: if

tional obligation imposed upon

then. for some imaginary offense,
leave it to begin TRADE of abuse
and misrepresentation.
a strict adherence to duty will
rid the Alliance of all factional
strife and eliminate the dema-
gogue, the traitor, and men with
selfish designs. 1t will add cour
age and strength to the 6rgani
zation and give dignity of pow
er and strength to the Order.
1t will crystalize the Order into
one solid phalanx whose ranks
cannot be broken by SANDER or
misrepresentation and secure it.
against dissensions within its
ranks. 1t is no longer the assaults
of its avowed enemies that thre at
ell its destruction, but the insid-
ious attacks of disreputable mem
bers who have gone over to the
enemy, bearing gifts, that
"thrift may follow fawning."
These are the dreaded enemies of
the Alliance and can only be de-
feated by severe restriction and
rigid performance of duty. When
there is a unity of dependence
among the members, and one
brother can depend upon the
other members to discharge their
duty at all times and under all
circumstances, loyalty to the Or
der becomes absolute and de-
termination to do right becomes
answering. Nothing indicates
the power and ultimate triumph
of the principles of the Alliance
more forcibly than the manner
in which the membership are
standing by their duty.
The Alliance, since its organi
zation, has done more to educate
the people on all economic ques-
tions than all the schools and
colleges in our country combined.
The former has taught by object
lessons, demonstrating in a prac-
tical way the where's and where
fores of business transactions and
opening up the avenues to wealth,
happiness and prosperity by un-
covering and exposing frauds to
which our people had been for
long time cruelty subjected.
Generally, in all schools and
colleges, theories are taught,
leaving the student with vague
and indefinite ideas of the prac.
teal duties of life, and hence the
multitude Of ignorant, helpless,
improvident people who are al
ways running after rainbow in
search of unearned riches.
1t is the duty of Alliancemen
to watch and guard themselves
against the insidious endeavors

The end of the great strike of coal min

president Of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company, which concern has
been freely blamed by rival operators as
responsible for all the mining troubles
or the last three years, has come to terms
with the arbitration commission. Conces-
slons have been made both by him and
unottlcially by other operators. His fam
Gus uniformity" agreement has been in
dorsed by representatis es of the strikers,
and in turn he has receded from his posi-
ton demanding the signatures Of 95 per
cent OF the operators in order to make it
effective.
This agreement was approved at the
conference in Pittsburg by President Pat
rick Dolan and Secretary William War
ner of the United Mine Workers of the
Plttsburg district. They promised to So
llcit the interest Of the miners in the plan
and to Use every influence to secure the
required number of signatures a clause

case it is found to be impossible to Sc

operators.

from Columbus to confer with the local
officers, and it is freely predicted that the
result will be a general return to work in
the near future.
Under the terms Of the agreement Mr.
De Armit consents to sign contract
which will bring about condition Of true

cording to the plan formulated, but which
failed eighteen months ago. The con-
tract provides that there shall be no COM

The agreement moreover provides for
an assessment of one-tenth Of a cent on

ROAST DOG FESTIVAL AT THE BIG PEACE PoW-WoW.

WOW came the formal burial Of the toma-
hawk in token Of the end of the war and
strife. All the Indians were seated in a
circle around an open grave, and while
the musicians made discordant noise with
their tom-toms the singers chanted peace
song. This over, two young bucks march
ed about the circle bearing with them a
large Ratchet made Of wood. Behind them
the braves Of the two nations fell in line
and INDUCED in bowls and gestures sup
posed to indicate their great pleasure at
| assisting in the ceremony. Then the med
icine man signaled for quiet and the tom
ahawk was solemnly lowered into the
grave and covered with EARTH The mo-
ment the last spadefu1 of earth was put
in place bucks and squaws jumped up and
began the peace dance, which was kept
going for three days and nights without
intermission. Day and night the dance
was kept up, big fires being built as soon
as darkness fell, and the weird effect of
the ha;f'naked, painted Indians circling
about in the Pickering lights was one
never TO be forgotten.

Inc NATIONAL convention Meets in tho
Southern City.
The seventh international convention
of the Baptist Young Peoples Union Of
America began in Chattanooga, Tenn,
Thursday morning with about 1000 del
egates and some of the most prominent
Baptist leaders in the country present.
The handsomely and deliberately decorat-
ed City Auditorium was completely filled
at 10 O'Clock, the hour of opening. Each
State delegation occupied quarters reserv-
ed for it. On the rostrum were seated
the officers and speakers, and in the gall
lery above was the eXcellently trained
choir of 500 voices.
The convention was opened with a
short song service, led by Dr. L. L. Hen
son Of Fort Wayne, Ind, formerly secre-
tary of the board of managers. The inn
mense audience joined enthusiastically
with the choir in the singing and a great
wave of inspiring harmony foated
through the building. At the close of the
song service DIR. Henson read the 10th
psalm and delivered fervent invocation,
after which President Chapman arose to
deliver the opening address.
Following the president addresses of
welcome, all eloquent and interesting,
were then delivered as follows: On be-
half of the churches of Chattanooga. by

dresses.
The report of Treasurer Frank Moody
Of Milwaukee showed evidences of great
err economy and better financial condition
than before. For the year ended June 80,
1896, comparison of assets and liabilities
showed a deficit of $4,S2O.23. For the
year eLded June 80, 1897, after a con-
servative estimate of assets, the deficit
is reduced to $1,73S.17, showing a gain
for the year Of $3,0S2.G5. An examina-
ton of the report Of the business man
ager shows a gain during the year in ac-
counts receivable of $3,5S7.79, plus a
reduction of Indebtedness to the amount
of $317.5O
The board of managers recommended
some changes in the constitution, which
were accepted and approved by the con-
vention. These changes led to a most
complete union of the forces Of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union of America with
the Southern union, by which the forces
of both are consolidated, and in making
this new relation with the Southern ue-
partmcnt, separate departments were pro-

SPANISH JAPANESE ALLIANCE.

Union IN case OF HOSt1ltIeS.
A dispatch from Paris to a London
news agency says that inquiry at an
American embassy there has elected a
confirmation of the rumor that the Gov
ernments of Spain and Japan have ar
ranged ali offensive alliance against the
United States. The terms Of the under
standing, which is for the mutual protec-
ton of Cuba and Hawaii, provide that
in the event of an active aggressive move
ment Oh the part of the United States
tending toward interference in Cuban af-
fairs or persistence in the annexation Of
the Hawaiian islands, both Spain and
Japan shall declare war simultaneously
against the United States, and shall make
hostile demonstrations along both the At
lantic and Pacific coast lines of that
country.
At Washington, little credence is plac-
ed in the statement that the Spanish and
Japanese Governments have entered into
an offensive alliance against the United
States for the mutual protection Of Cuba
and Hawaii. Mr.. Day, the first assist
ant secretary, discredited the report and
regarded it as too improbable to discuss.
'"The State Department has no informa-
ton concerning the reported alliance"
he said, "and l don't believe there is any
foundation for the statement that one
has been entered into" Both the Span
ish and Japanese ministers are away

IN A TEMPORARY DEADLOCK.
Tariff Bill Conferees Are a Long Way
from an Agreement

Tariff Bill Conferees Are a Long Way
from an Agreement.
The conferees on the tariff bill found
themselves Wednesday apparently fur
Their apart than they were at the begin
ming IF the conference. There was no
immediate prospect Of agreement and
more than one member stated that the
ENHANCEMENT was such that the settle
ment might be indefinitely prolonged.
Washington correspondent says that
from all that can be learned there has
been general recession from the partial
agreements made on the more important
articles until sugar, wool, hides, ETC., can
be definitely fixed. Sugar is still the prin-
cipal contention. The best reports repre-
sent the House conferees, with Speaker
Reed behind them, as holding out for the
House sugar schedule without any change
whatever, and the Senators quite as de-
terlnined not to yield to this extent. The
House conferees insist that this schedule
must be definitely fixed before other ques-
tons shall be taken up.
One Of the other questions Of secondary
Importance upon which sharp differences
have arisen is the Senate amendment for
stamp tax on stocks and bonds. The
House opposed the amendment, but the
Senators, while not welded to it, insist
upon it as necessary for revenue. The
House is also resisting strenuously the 20
per cent duty placed upon hides, and is at
the same time persistently holding out
for a restoration Of gunny bags, cotton
ties, etc., to the dutiable list.
A Senator who talked With some Of the
conferees said: They are in a temporary
deadlock and are tied up all along the
line. It looks as il the situation might
remain unchanged for a week"
While this appears to be correct out
line of the situation, the prevailing inn
preston is that settlement Of one or two
important schedules would be speedily
followed by complete adjustment Of all
other differences

GREAT PEACE PoW-WOW.
Sioux and Chippewa Indians Bury thu
Bloody Hatched.

Sioux and Chippewa Indians Bury the
Bloody Hatched.
Sioux Indians marched from their Da-
kota reservations to White Birch. WIS.,,
where a two weeks peace powwow was
held with their old enemies, the Chippe-
was.
For hundreds of years the Sioux and
Chippewas have been implacable foes,
making war upon one another at every
opportunity, and conducting reprisals with
a brutal savagery that would shame even
an Apache. Death by torture of the most
horrible kind was the certain fate Of cap
tives, and knowledge of this caused their
long warfare to be marked with demoni-
acal fury. The original home Of the Chip
pewas was in the lake country now dlvld-
ed into the States of Wisconsin and Mich
igan. Here the western branch OF the
famous Algonquin family ruled in force,
noted for bravery and military skill Of a
high ORDER. On the west, where now is
Minnesota and the Dakotas, was the
home IF the powerful Sioux nationA
Bloody raids were Of frequent occurrence,
until finally, after long and disastrous
warfare, the Chippewas gathered in force
and drove their enemies into the Mime
sofa country, from which they were re-
moved to the Dakota reservations by
Federal troops in 1868. Time and chang
ed conditions have mellowed the redmen's
passions.
The Chippewas have settled down to
peaceful pursuits in northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota, where many of them have
farms, While the Sioux are held in control
on reservations far beyond the MISSISSIPPI
pi. Being unable to come together in con-
tlict as OF old, owing to the supremacy Of
the whites, these Indians now want peace.
1t is years since they met in actual war
fare, and the head men have come to the
conclusion that, as further fighting is inn
possible, formal treaty Of amity might
as we'll be ratified. This is the excuse for
the peace powwow held at White Birch.
Two hundred Sioux have made their
way across Minnesota and Dakota to the
rendezvous at White Birch, travelling on
ponies and encamping out in aboriginal
style. These met in little bands at Bis
marck, n. D., and there consolidated in
one body under the leadership Of Chiee
Red Face. In this party are number Of
notable characters, including Sitting
Bulls daughter and Chief Black Bear Of
Custer massacre fame.
