GOOD NEWS.
A Nagnanimou. Act.

When the Peoples party was organ
lied in 1882 it was severe blow to the
Farmers Alliance. Many, mistakenly,
thought that the Peoples party was a
substitute for the Alliance, and that
there was no longer any need for the
latter.
Events have shown how false this
view was. The dishonest politicians
rushed into the Peoples party and cap
tured it and the honest farmers were no.
where.
A Few faithful men labored to preserve
the life of the Alliance, but it was up-
hill work. The collections were not suf-
ficient to pay the salary of the secretary,
Mr.. J. c. Hanley, and it went on accu-
mulating until, with his cash advances.
1t amounted to about $4,000 This bur-
den was crushing the life out of the
Alliance. Mr.. Hanley perceived this,
and he magnanimously waived his claim
to all this large sum in the following pa
per:
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Dec. Goth. 1S99.-This is
to certify that l have received from Hon.
+. II. Rahilly, president of the State Farm
ers Alliance, of Minnesota, one dollar in
full payment and satisfaction of nv claim

other demands of mine, OF any kind, against
thu State Alliance; so that 1t may start on
the 1st proximo with a clear sheet: 1t being
my intention. in view of the impoverished
condition of the society, to make it a pres
'ent OF all my said claims; with the under
standing that Mr.. Rahilly and others and
the Representative newspaper will do their
nest to make our state meeting in February
a great success; and that all moneys received
at that meeting will be devoted to the paw
ment OF the expense of getting up said
meeting, either already incurred or to be-
incurred hereafter. IF. -
And IN the same spirit, and for the same
purpose, | hereby relinquish all claims
against the Minnesota Grain Growers as
soeiation and the National Grain Growers
association. Signed,

This action reflects the highest credit
'apon Mr.. Hanley. This large amount
was legally due to him, and his gen.
crosby will not be forgotten by the
Farmers of the Northwest. Id

America Has Signified Her Intention ia
Side With Great Britain.
From London Dec 20

HiOM AOAuOH, Lee. 81.
The text Of Col. Baden Powelps pro-
clamation to the burgers besiegins Ma
feking, the gist of which has already
been cabled, came from Lourenzo Mar
ques yesterday.
After asserting that the republics can
not hope for foreign Intervention and
pretending to relate the exact atti-
tude of all the European DOW
ers. including Emperor William,
who, the colonel said, fully SYM
pathizes with England" Baden-Powell
snakes the extraordinary statement that
THE ! AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
HAS WARNED THE OTHERS OF HER
INTENTION TO SIDE WITH ENG
LAND SHOULD ANY OF THEM IN
TERFERE."
When leading administration organ
of Minnesota admits that the statement
of Col. Baden-Powell, that there is al
ready treaty, offensive and defensive.
between England and America, and that
the United States has bound itself to go
aid England against the Beers, it is time
aor congress to inquire into the matter.
NO president or no administration has
the right to involve this republic in any
such treaty, especially for the purpose
Of crushing a sister republic. There can
be no question that nine tenths of the
people Of the United States sympathize
with the Beers. They are a small and
gallant race, maintaining their indepen-
Aence against great world-power.
which seeks to appropriate their terri
tory and dictate their local legislation
as to schools, taxes. etc. The American
people are instinctively on the side of
Freedom and fair play. There are SO

IS THIS sELF-06tlvERNMENT.

IS THIS sELE-06vEItNMENT
Now comes the informatfon that Han
ma and Mckinley havespledged the HIVES
of their American subjects to help the
Rothschilds conquer the Beers.
In return for this Rothschild has
pledged the British army and navy to
help Hanna catch Aguiualdo.
Two or three milionaires in each coun-
try get together either personally or by
correspondence, and form a treaty, each
binding their respective governments to
help the other wage wars of conquest.
The people of the United States do not
want the Philippine islands OF any other
foreign territory. We have at home
millions of acres not yet occupied. We
have lands not yet surveyed and terri
tory not yet explored, and it would seem
that az home we would find ample room
for expansion
The Philippine islands are already
densely populated. The language and
customs of the people, the great distance
from our home government, the un-
healthfulness of the climate and the de-
of that people to have their
independence all constitute the strong
est reasons why America should leave
them alone. &c
But the country has some natural re-
sources that have attracted the greed
of American capital; there is oppor-
tunity there for loot, and that settles it.
Hanna pushes the button and the pluto
dailies and American armies are i'm
mediately in motion for the accom-
plishment of his designs.
A small clique of capitalists today
hold in their hands the life of every
American citizen. They say war, and
tomorrow you go. And this is what we
laud as self-gOvernment. E. A. T.

Dear Sir: Whether God heard your
prayer for delinquent subscribers or not
l don't know, but I heard it and here
with l harken to the same by sending
you my dollar ($1.00). I hope your
prayer will be heard from center to cir
conference of this broad land, and that
everyone who knows it to be their duty
will step up and do likewise-to
strengthen your arm to strike from the
shoulder at these rotten Democrats.
Without an aim and without pur-
pose, one part of them now in congress
wants the gold standard and the other
part don't know what they want. They
cannot again straddle the Peoples party
platform on which they nearly rode into
power in '96, and so they hardly know
which road to turn.

that date and the white elephant"

them their defeat and has sunk them so
deep down that don't believe they will
be able to crawl from under for the next
ten years. Hence the folly of fusing

But, bear in mind if the Democrats
have deserted us, the Republicans don't
forget us. But the trouble with the
average farmer is he don't appreciate his
friends and sometimes even fails to To-
cate them, and l must confess myself
one Of the latter. Our taxes this year
