Committee on credentials made final report (.bowing nearly every county Krport accepted urd committee gh-chargi-d. Annual report of tho (secretary rea.i foilows: SECRETARY'S ANNUAL ULl'OKT. In leaking this ray fourta aurata j wport of tho work of tha ..?br ka i FtmimiV AU'anee, I ixed make ro x-! tenJi-d statement of facts oilier tnun; those that come under my personal observation as stato teeretary. Wo assembled in annual meeting a tear ago with the organization ex tended iuto everv county in our stare and tho work for 6vl was more ca strengthening of that which remained and the development of a higher citi zenship on the part of our members than in chart, ring new organization i. In some of tbe counties, notably in the north western part of the state, a num ber of new Alliance have be-n organ ized and these have played an import ant part la tho facial and political features of that section during the year. We havo issued in all about lifty new charters since cur last annual meeting in January; and rc-h-sin d a number where the original members bad moved away or severed their con-! miction with tho organization. Tne j lirst flush of success had changed to i tbe stern realities of continued ex istence. Tho enthusiasm of the years 1M and 181 had almost lost its forc; and had to bo replaced by tho sober earnest judgement and serious though' and action of our members. A great political movement, national m its character, hud been ushered into tno Arena of polities, whoso very cxisti nee was made possible by the agitation and education along the lines of political reform that hr.d been carried forward by tho alliance and kindred industrial organizations It is not strange therefore that the political movement should in a great measure absorb tho attention of our people durirg this a year when the contest for national supremacy was waged by the political organizations of ourountry with great earnestness, and tho questions of money reform, land reform and transportation reform was discussed from a political stand point, from the A lantic to the PaciOe and from tho northern lakes to the southern gulf. The result of that con test need not be referred to here. It is now a part of our national history. Tho strength of organization has been felt however and we now fed tha: more than ever before should the alii aiico educational work receive the at tention of our people. Wo believe that the crying need ot our government to day is a higher degree of political in telligence on tho part of its citizens. Not partisanship which overlooks ail shortcomings of any system of govern ment, if that system receives the sup port of our p'lrty; but rather a discrim inating intelligence that can examine in an intelligent manner into the needs of the masses of the people, and deter mine without prejudica or partisan feeling upon a course of action that will insure to each member of tbe common wealth tho greatest possible liberty and prosperity. A very cossiderable portion of our ejror" tue ast year nave Dcen put UnTJTTrrttiC-TU V vr-i-'iivi, V t, last annual meetinsr three lecturers wero chosen, who have in an ab e manner labored for the advancement of tbo principles advocated by tne alliance. In addition to their work the presi dent of the state alliance has visited a largo portion of tho state during the year, holding successful district fnd county meetings in nearly every county. Ho has carried with him the respect and esteem of all our members and guided by hi-: years of experience in tlio work, his labors have bc'n especially help,ful. The lecturers have also placed a great deal of literature in the hands of the people, and while this feature of the work has been productive of much good it will be seen by the treasurers report that it bus also been self sustaining. In all about threo thousand volumes of the best of our reform literature ha bJen thus placed in tho hands of the citizens of our state, and I believe this feature of tbe educational work should not only be continued, but more fully developed in the coming year. During the, past two years in a num ber of counties, mutual insurance com panies have been established under the directi nof the county alliance, and in some cases controlled entirely by the organization. Their experience goes to show tho desirability of mutual in surance and indicate that its workings will be entirely satisfactory and the assurance afforded will be ample, mak ing them fully as safe at less than half the expoiiee of old lino companies. inere are some companies operating in the state under the mutual plan but cnargmg one per ci nt for membership feo. The experience of tho purely mu tual companies in Iowa and other east ern states goes to show however that such a membership feo is not required unless it bo for tho purpose of employ ing agents on commission, a practice that could ba entirely' avoided by writ ing . insurance through the medium of subordinate alliances. J trust this matter will receive duo con sideration at this meeting as its im portance is felt oy ail those having farm property insured on the old ba;is and paying the old rates. The past four years has seen a'l up rising of tho ptople of Nebraska made possible by the work of tho alliance un precedented m tho history or tne stato. The present shows us that while we may have accomplished some cttho ob jects sr.ight, wo still lac.c much of securing the enactment tf those laws which should bo tho outgrowth cf our principles and won'.d so materially tend to mane at men fee and equal. But what of the future: May wo not cherish the belief that the seed sown iu the days that are behind us wi'l blossom into a full realization of our expecta tions, and yield fruit even an hundred fold.. I believe that with thorough cul ture fi'-f the soil, and proper attention to tho degree of temperature best adapted to secure proper fruitage, our highest hopes may be realized. It is here that the allianee organization steps in. It makes us more human, more mindful of tho needs of another, gives us clearer preceptions, (through the counsel and advice of its members) of our own needs, and enables uj to put ourselves wbrro wo hope to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.

Some litio farmers paid tho memberihip lee and insured their gro .vmg crop in the asMWiation at 10 cents per aero. ISti of these suffered oss by hail amuuuling to over $10,000. By assessing tho lull limit of 10 cents I er acre ou ll the assured only enough money will be collected to pay the losers j io per cen o oi tneir luss. lhey are ail bound in writing to be satisfied with this, and release and receipt finally. We your committee regard this as com mendable work and ask that you en courage it bv resolution. "I ho collecting of over $11,000.00 from tliejjfoitunate ones who escaped hail and giving it to tho unfortunate ones is certainly good fraternity and should meet our approval. If tho limit were placed at 15 cents per aero losses would be paid in full in a year like this. The committee recommended the fol lowing resolutions which wero on mo tion adopted by the Alliance: Resolved That wo urge farmers in every county to organize mutual fire and lightning companies under the new mutual law, aud thus combine to insure their farm property in this fraternal way. In many counties and several states it has for years proven prao'ica), and a great saving when prudently managed. Resolved That we recornrno the Nebraska State Mutual Cyclone Com pany to all farmers who desire storm insuraneo at cost. Whereas A Mutual Hail Insurance Association for tne State of Nebraska, called the Nebraska Mutual Hail Asso eiation has been organized by members of this Alliance, and Whereas Wo believe the principle under which it is organized to bo cor rect, and the organization as effected, substantial, therefore be it Hesolved That tho State Alliance, do recommend this association to all desiring Hail Insurance.

The following resolutions wero re ported by Allen Root chairman of the committee oh President Powers' ad dress, and were unanimously adopted: We reaffirm our declaration that the freight rutes in Nebraska should be no higher than in our sister state of Iowa, and we demand of our legislature the enactment of a maximum freight rate law to that effect. We, condemn, in unmeasured terms, tbe members of the present board of transportation who, having full power to reduce freight rates iu Nebraska to a just and reasonable basis, have absolutely refused to do so. We would ask of our coming legisla ture to pass a memorial to congress asking that a trunk lino of railroad be built from the Dakotas to the Gulf as an experimental step towards absolute government ownersbsp and control of all railroads in the United States, and that the preent congress at once pro vide ways and means for a preliminary survey to that end. We would recommend to our legisla ture the careful consideration of an amendment to the present ballot law to the end th'-it all the safeguards now therein may be retained and improved, and th t the ballot be simplified so as to be more easily understood by adopt ing a form similar to that now in use iu Iowa, Illinois and Ohio. We demand that the stock yards at South Omaha be made public markets and controlled by reasonable legisla tion. We demand that the government at the earliest possible time establish a postal telegraph system in connection with the postofiico department, to the end that all means of communication may be directly in in the hands of the people instead of great corporations. The following additional resolutions were reported by the committee with tho recommendation that they be re- fei red to the subo dinate alliances for discussion during the coming year. Resolved That we refer to tho sub ordinate alliance for discussion the consideration ot an amendment to our state constitution creating the initia tive and referendum. Whereas, We believe fartyism to bo one of the most prolific causes in producing unjust, unequal an 1 corrupt class legislation, thereiore, bo it Hesolved, That wo will advocate that all officers of the government (ser vants of tho people) both state and national, ba put in nomination by baUot at primary nicotines a'l tho people pirticipa.ing, and that the two candi patcs for each and every i.Qic-3 who have received tho highest number .of votes at said primary meetings shall te declared to bo tno regular candidate to t?o voted for at tho general election the one receiving the majority of all the votes cast shall bu declared elected. We recommend an amendment to the constitution to this effect, and we ask all men who are desirous of maintain ing good government to aid us in secur ing said change in all election laws. Whereas, It seems to us a very great injustice that a state bearing upou its shield, the roble sentiment "equality before tho law," should disfranchise ouehalf of its citizens, while at the samo time compelling them to pay taxes, and be amenable to the laws en tc for ifriCGS.
