The editor of The Progressive
Farmer is deeply grateful to his
brethren for their kind words and
expressions of appreciation of The
Progressive Farmers work. With
all the power we possess we have
fought for the Alliance and every
principle of it's Declaration of Pur-
poses. Our heart is in the work. We
rejoice at every forward step taken
by the Order and feel the necessity
for redoubling our efforts when n
ground is lost. We expect to do our
part for the Order and we believe
the brethren will stand by the Or
gan. Helping each other, working
for each other, let US keep at it until
we again place u organization in
the proud position it once occupied.
AT the State meeting last year,
Democrats, Populists, and Republi-
cans were present. This year each
of these parties was represented, and
the Prohibitionist party as we'll. In
the work of reorganization, as in
the list of officials, all parties will be
represented. The charge of parti-
sanship received it's death blow last
year, and this year it was buried be-
yond resurrection. And if any So
called Allianceman, forgetting the
non-partisan character of our Order,
fails to do anything in his power to
remove old worn-Out prejudices, or
so conducts himself as to make out
siders or ex-members feel that mem
bers of all political parties have not
equal privileges in the Alliance, he
is untrue to the Order and a STUN
bling-blOck in the way of re-organi-
zation. Let there be no prowIing
about the grave of the miserable
prejudices that we have buried for
ever.
And now the plans have been laid,
the officers chosen, and the work is
to begin. The command is truly,
that we go forward. Like Paul of
old, forgetting the things that are
behind and reaching forth to those
things that are before" let us press
forward until full success crowns our
efforts.
And the Alliance expects every
man to do his duty!

1t is interesting to note how great a
change has come over the character
of The Delineator. For 25 years it
has stood foremost as the popular
fashion and home magazine. Now,
without abandoning it's prominence
in that direction, each number dem
onstrates that in it's other features
it is seeking to prove itself the equal
of any of the high class periodicals.

WINS
PARIS.

The Mccormick harvesting Machine
Company of Chicago, has been awarded the
Grand Prize on Harvesting Machines at the
Paris Exposition. This is the highest
award.
The Mccormick Company also received
the highest award, a gold medal, on binder
Irvine, for the superior quality of its product.
Special Irvine machinery from the celebrated
Mccormick Irvine mill was exhibited to the
jury and awarded a medal.
The McCormiCkS have received the
largest number Of awards, as we'll as the
highest awards made to any American
exhibitor. In addition to the Grand Prize
on machines and Gold Medal on Irvine they
have received two medals in the department
of metallurgy for superiority in forming
metals into special parts for machines; in
the department of machinery a medal for
factory machinery, and also silver and
bronze medals in other classes, six medals
in all, besides the Grand Prize.
The International jurieS of the Exposition
haVereCOgRized the greatreVolutiORWrOught
by Mccormick machines and this large num-
Der of awards is agreat triumph for America.
In addition to winning these awards, the
Gold Medal and 200 francs, the single high.
est award for binders, was won easily by the
Mccormick Binder at the field trial at
COuIOmmicrS on July 10, against all corners.

GOOD LEADERS.

The officers elected by the State
Alliance for the ensuing year are
men we'll qualified for the great
work they Will have to do. Presi-
dent Graham is one of the best
farmers in the State and a good bust
S man. He has never faltered in
his devotion to the Order. The con-
slant attention he gives to all mat
tiers affecting it is evinced by the
number of sound suggestions con-
tanned in his address, given else
where in this issue.
Vice-President Paschal, while not
an active farmer, is an excellent man
and a firm believer in Alliance prin-
ciples.
Secretary Parker has performed
all his duties so ably, has kept his
Office in such close touch with the
brethren from all sections OF the
State, that is not necessary for rs to
say a word in his favor. In many
ways the brethren manifested their
high appreciation of his good work.
Lecturer Balm is a worker, as he
has proven to our satisfaction. With
the more favorable conditions for
reorganization, the brethren expect
him to improve upon his already ex-
cellent record and we do not think
they will be disappointed.
We might write at length of our
earnest and energetic Steward Mitch
ell of u worthy and lovable Chap
lain Mercer of Doorkeeper Lane and
Sergeant Lane, always true to the
Order or our President pro tenn,
Prof. Graham, whose efficiency in
that position is as marked as in his
excellent school; of Bro. Denmark,
whose untiring work was properly
approximations space forbids. Suf-
flee it to say that the Order is in
good hands and that we believe every
officer will do his duty in the work
of reorganization that is to begin at
once.
1t may not be out of place to say
that the members of the Executive
Committee elected at previous ses-
siOns, whose terms have not expired,
have won the gratitude of the Order
for zeal and devotion to duty.
We do not write this to please the
brethren named, but assure the rank
and file that they r following ex-
+ cellent leaders, whose planning will
doubtless make for progress.

WORKING THEIR LIPS.

You may have noticed that
young children while asleep, for
some time after being weaned,
work their lips as though in the
act of nursing. You have noticed
that, haven't you? Well, that is,
the result of habit----you might
call it force of habit. ' Something
happened at Idaho Falls the other
day that reminded us very much
of the working of d sleeping child's
lips after its natural food had been
denied it. There was up there a
meeting Of the Silver Republican
county committee. The Demo-
Gratis and Populists made grand
rush for the fusion teat. The Sill
yer Republicans pulled out and
left the fusionists working their
lips; for when they came to count
noses they found nobody present
but Democrats, and they had ac-" j"
tually passed string of resolu-
tions fusing themselves with
themselves. That was force of
habit. The Democrats have been
fusing SO much in late years that
they can't break up the habit.
When they are, awake they cry
for it and when asleep their lips
work. - Malad Enterprise, .. y.
