Sii.vnn'Ciir.r.K , Neb. , Juno 7. To the Ed
itor of Tin : linn : Inn recent editorial Tirn
Bun gays : "fiver since otho Nebraska farm
ers' ' nlllnnco elected J. Burrows ns its official
orgnlnst , nothing that TUB Bui : has said or
Its editor done has met the approval of Bur
rows nnd his organ. " Tun BKB is In error.
The Nebraska farmers' alliance | ncvcr nt any
time elected J. Burrows as Its official organ
ist , neither did It at any tltno declare his
paper to be the ofllclnl organ of tlio state alli
ance. It Is the official organ of the nlllnnco
in tills mid nothing more , that certain nfll-
cials of tlio alliance s w fit to go Into the
newspaper business , and , without authority ,
are using the prestige of the ulllanco's immo
to build up a purely private enterprise. 'It
sometimes pays to bo n patriot.
From the beginning , Mr. Burrows' paper
has persistently advertised that it was tlio of-
Jlclal organ of the alliance , no less before
the meeting of the state nlllanco nt
Grand Island last winter than
Blnco. If it wcro made the
official organ nt nil , it was in the adoption
of the following resolution nt that time :
"That every member should heartily Rup [ > ort
tlio fanners' alliance , our state pnpcr nnd cn-
vniragc nun-alliance men to Introduce said
jwper in their homes , together with alliance
papers , nnd papers published in our Interest. "
Now this resolution could not have been retro
active In Its effect , nnd if it mndo Mr. Bur
rows' pui > or the ofllcial organ it necessarily
follows thnt previous to the p.issngo of the
resolution it could not have been the ofilcinl
organ undMr.Burrows Is proved to have been
u falsifier mid sailing under fnlso colors. As
anyone may see from the resolution itself , it
Ls intended simply to commcdnablo papers of
a certain class , and particularly , of course ,
that of Mr. Burrows. But it made no paper
the official organ , for , if so , Tin : BEK itself
might justly claim to bo the official organ of
the alliance , since it could not bo successfully
maintained that that paper is not published
in "our Interest , " even if it don't continually
proclaim that fact from the house tops.
The state alliunco bus not ono cent thnt

ering that it is supixwed to bo backed by a
constituency of bO.Ouo , as now claimed.
desire to call the attention of members of
the alliance to a point which may bo regarded
ns a question of constitutional law. Article
V1I1 , section 1 , of our state constitution , pro-
Hcriblng the qualifications for membership ,
provides that no ono shall bo admitted "un
less lin ho n farmer , farm laborer , country
mechanic , country physician or country min
ister of the gospel , " nnd further , "when nny
member of the farmers' alliance shall engage
in any occupation which would render him
ineligible before initiation , said member shall
at once bo dismissed from the alliance and
furnished by the secretary with a written
statement of the cause of his dismissal. " In
Ills paper of September liS Mr. Burrows , in
Kpeaklng of himself in assuming charge us
editor , says : "lie uow abandons his busi
ness to take charge of tno alliunco paper. "
But editors of newspapers nro not eligible to
ndmiusion In the alliance and I submit that it
is the duty of Mr. Burrows' homo alliance
Immediately to dismiss him In accordance
with the terms of our constitution as nbovo
quoted. Helms no more light in tlio alliunco
nan has the editor of Tin : Bun or the Lincoln
Journal , and as chairman of the state execu
tive committee ho holds his ortlco illegally.
The Alliance of May 2-t , speaking of tlio al
liance troubles In Texas and commenting on
the conduct of our own financial affairs , says :
"As 0110 who has all the time been in a
l > osltlou to control the finances of the
alliance , the editor of this pspcr takes special
pride In these facts. " In n former article I
commented on tlio grossly illegal act of Mr.
Burrows' executive committed in assuming
to elect delegates to the national alliance , but
I did not mention the fact that the commit
tee then reached their hands uown Into our
treasury and took out $150 to pay the expenses
of those delegates. ( I state this from
memory , hut any ono can test its correctness
by referring to the Alliance of September 21. )
If Mr. Burrows can bo believed ho was re
sponsible for that act , nnd I merely call at
tention to it in order that his friends through
out the state may join with him in his sclf-
gratulatiou.
I had been very desirous that Mr. Burrows
should go to congress this fall , but in view of
his eminent financial ability I now nominate
him to the office of state treasurer , subject to
the approval of the independent people's con
vention.
If members of n fraternal organization will
thus violate and trample on their own laws ,
how can they bo trusted with the remodeling

GCNBVA , Neb. , Juno 8. [ Special to THE
Bii ; : . ] The farmers' nlllnnco of Fillmore
county met In this city yesterday in mass
convention. About three thousand farmers
were In attendance and came in largo delega
tions , headed by bands of music , and numerous
banners and Hags fluttered to the broczo. They.
were received into the city by the First regi
ment band of Geneva. At VI o'clock the dele
gates assembled in the opera house to elect
the county officers of thonlliunco , after which
they went into secret session to discuss ques
tions which your correspondent was uuablo
to learn. At the pane the farmers were ad-
iltvssoildiy TJ. T , Fisher on questions of docp
interest to them. The nlllanco numbers 1,500
in this * county and is rapidly increasing In
number at each meeting. The usual good
fooling exists among the farmers , nnd they
ure prepared to make their wants known in a
very forcible way. Tills call was made for
the purpose of having a people's convention
to nominate a state ticket , They fcol that
thev quinot get their rights from the old par
ties and huvo taken this means of securing
them. On the railroads they believe In liv
ing and let live , and they think the present
railroad rates are extortionate. They think
that the farmers will organUo a farmers'
party and do not intend to assist the old par-
tics In any manner , and from this county will
peud up u man of their choice , which , of
course , makes BOIIIO of the ixilitlcians in the
old parties tremble In their hoots. The po
litical completion Is decidedly mixed , with
the chances that the farmers of this section
will control the next representatives from this
i'ounty.

BnvTiucn , Neb. , Juno 8. fSpcclat to THE
Biu. : ] The Gage county alliances continue
their weekly meetings with growing success
nnd increasing membership. Kuch Saturday
representatives from all of the precinct
alliances meet In this city for conference nnd
concentration of work. At the last meeting
the following notice was given out as in
structions to ull the alliances Of Gage county :
Whereas. It Is a notorious fact that the
option dealing and gambling In agricultural
and farm products In Imaginary < itiintltlu.s :
nothnHcd upon the existence or ownership or
power of delivery ; IN practiced to an alarming
extent In most , of our lending cities and upon
their bpards of trade ; nnd
Whoicas , Wo aio convinced beyond Questioner
or douht that .said option dcnllng or gambling
In agricultural products and essential food
supplies Is pioductlvoof very great ovll to
our Internal commerce , and to our foreign
commerce as well , and
Whciea.s , Wo fully bellovo that such option
dealing and gambllne Is really destructive to
the best Interests of all our farmer * , nnd If
permitted to RO on without restraint will be
destructive of agriculture Itself , and bring
our farming population to p. 'miry ; mill
Whereas , Wo iiaru abundant evidence that
said option dealing and Rambling reduces the
price of many of our farm products below that
which our fa rinuri should obtain ; and
Wheieas Wo most sincerely believe that the
present deploi ablp and depressed condition of
agriculture In these United fetnte.s IM hugely
due to the leductlon of prlcus for farm pi o-
duets , which lias been brought about by the
extravagant and reckless operations of option
dealeis and gamblers upon our bouidof tradu ;
and Whereas. Wo bullevo that prices of nil farm
products should be regulated by supply and
demand , and that all transactions In Mien pio-
dncts should bo based wholly , without excep
tion , upon ownership and power of delivery ;
therefore bo It
leM ( > lveil , That wo do most earnestly urge
and ieiiue.it , both our senators and all ourrop-
iusontatlve.s In congress , to support and use
their best efforts to speedily miss and enact
Into a law of this land the bill which Is now
pending In the house of representatives at
Washington , known as the Itutteruoith option
bill , housu bill No. KK3 , to the end that the
farmeisof this country may have succdy relief - ,
lief fiom one of thomoitdestructlvo and de
basing causes of their present pitiable condi
tion ; and to the end that our farmers shall no
longer be crippled , traduced and robbed of
their haul enmities by the dealing and gam
bling of millionaires , nnd Impecunious and
unprincipled operators as well , In options and
visionary quantities of farm products and
food .supplies , one dollar's worth of which
never existed , and which quantities snld oper
ators could not possibly deliver or receive and
pay for , were It to cost them their lives.
The nllumco of Gngo county demands n
change in the political economy of the county ,
they demand that our legislators enact laws
beneficial to the fanners' interest aud cense
the consideration of monopoly interests that
labor may retain a fair shara of the i > rofl ts of
labor.

Otoo County Alllnnco Demands.
NnmiAsicA CITV , Nob. , Juno 8. [ Special
to Tun Bun. ] The Otoo county alliance has
many members who favor a tax on mortgages ,
especially on mortgages held by non-residents.
At the last mooting of Gordon Hill alliance
No. 028 , the following resolution regarding
the matter was adopted and sent to the board
of county commissioners. The latter received
the resolution , but took no further action on it :
SVIIACUSE. No'b. , May 31. To the Honorable
Hoard of County Commissioners :
Whereas , Some mortgages have been asses
sed by several assessors m Otoo county , hold
by non-residents ; therefore , bo It
Ke.solved , That wo , the members of Gordon
IIII1 alliance No. ffis , do request the honorable
board of cqunllzntlcn to tuv all mortgages as
sessed In Otoo county held by non-residents.
The alliance nt Unadllla Is the latest of the
organizations to commence grain shipping
business on its own account , aud will hereafter -
after get along without the middleman. This
alliunco is also about to establish a largo co
operative store at Uimdilla.
Here's u 1'lini 1'or You.
UEDISUTON , Nob. , Juno 8. To the Editor of
TUB BEE : The articles of A. J. Austin and
Jacob Beck in y.our issue of Juno 1 lead mo to
ask that this brief suggestion bo inserted in
the column for the tolling masses.
Discussion tot different methods of relief
for the masses , no matter how wide apart and
antagonistic they may bo , is the only way a
plan of relief can bo agreed upon ; so wo
should not bointolcrnntof the views of others ,
but weigh them well nnd impartially before
condemning them as impraeticadl cor Utopian.
AVe have reformers traveling in
every direction , and some of thorn nro try
ing to ride two horses nt the same time , going
in opposite directions. But , I repeat , lot nil
bo impartially hoard. Before anything can
possibly bo douo that will bring relief the
tolling masses must unllo upon a plan of re
lief and act jn , unison. If they can't do that
they will surely novcr got relief. It will
always bo Jabber , jabber and no relief until
they consolidate upon and carry out some
definite idea. The workingmen | solldly
united would bo so strong so all powerful-
thai opposition would houseless , but the weak
minority would hardly bo so foolish as to at
tempt physical resistance.
Now I think the llrst stop to rcliof Is : For
all men to assort their natural ( and therefore
inalienable ) right to the sell. Murk you , I
say assert , not bog for it , or petition the gov
ernment for It , or do anything oho but assert
it , 1. o , take vacant laud with your strong
right arms wherever found , without asking
the owner , so called , the government or any
body else ; but relying upon natural right ,
nnd the united sanction and aid of each
ether Just settle down upon , occupy , possess
mid work the vacant ( mitillod ) spots of earth
as naturally nnd quietly as the birds of the
air fly through space , or aa the Jlshes occupy
the ocean , the seas , the lakes , the rivers , the
ponds.
Having taken a "plocdof Jnnd , don't allow
yourself trt.bo the " "
Imposed upon by "Georgo"
Idea of laying nil tuxes upon land , but resist
any and all taxes you do not wish to pay.
The right to tax nt all Implies unlimited
power , ov.cn to JcoiUbcutlou. Hlght hero is
the communism , tlitf robbery lu governments.
Lot you i' motto bo ;
1. Man's nutuml right to the soil.
' - ' . Voluntary taxation. !
Hero Is n plan that surely offers relief to
the "tolling masses" that is simple nnd
ImiucdliUo and hurts no man. Tolling

Four Masked Men Hold Up u Northern
Paoillo Train.
ST. PAUL , Minn. , Juno 8. The Northern
Pacific cast bound passenger train , which ar
rived hero tonight , was robbed by masked
men near Now Salem , N. D. , last night.
The engineer nnd fireman wcro surprised by
two masked men climbing over the tender
and ordering the train stopped at the point of
their revolvers.
Express Messenger Angcvitie , hearing the
shots fired forward and suspecting something ,
hid 8600 in money from the safe , put out
the lights and ran back two miles to Now
Salem. The mall car was first tackled by the
robbers. A number of registered letters wore
rifled nnd then two robbers turned their at
tention to the express car. This they found
deserted , much to their chagrin.
The passengers were not touched. Ono put
his head out of the window during the delay ,
but was told to got his head back , nnd n bul
let whizzed past his head as a reminder
that the order had better bo obeyed.
A posse of men with the sheriff loft Man-
dan this morning for the scene of the rob
bery. The robbers compelled the engineer to
break In the door of the postal car.
Only four masked men were seen at anyone
ono time. The district around Now Salem is
peopled by quiet , law abiding settlers. The
robbery is presumed to bo the work of people
unknown in that yart of the country.

LOKOON , June 8. The Anchor line steamer
City of Komo arrived at Quconstown this
morning. The vessel had a narrow escape
from destruction nt Fastuot. She made a
landing in a dcnso fog at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. She was going slowly and taking sound'
ings when , notwithstanding { ho care exor
cised , she struck Fastnet rock , about thrco
mtlos scuvvard off Crookhavon. The bow on
her forefoot got on the rock nnd but for the
prompt reversing of the engines a great fatal
ity would have been recorded , .
The passengers say the steamer trembled
all over when she struck the rock. For n
time thorn was Intense alarm on board , the
density of the fog adding to the omnlous
character of the situation. The passengers
were finally quieted by the repeated assur
ances of the commander and other oftlcors.
The full extent of the dnmngo cannot bo
ascertained until the vessel is docked. Her
stem is broken at the peak and tmo shipped u
largo volume of water forward ,
The steamer started for Liverpool at 11

out to Willis , then Poormnn and D.ilrymplo
singled , and the two runners ahead of the
latter came home , Poormtm having stolen
second , while Welsh reached third on Poor-
man's hit. Dalrymplo made second in the
throw-in to catch Poorman at the plate. The
next two men wore quickly retired uud Mil
waukee was nhead.
And she staid there , blast her I
Iji the fourth ghnlon led off with n three-
bagger , and everybody thought , very natur
ally of course , tlmutho score would bo tied.
But thoughtsjddil't win baseball. It takes
brains and br.uvn'smd nerve , and base hits ,
good ruuniiig and fcharp fielding a mess of
ingredients Omaha ] seems to lack.
The man diiLjiot get homo. Cleveland
popped up n little } ono to Shock , Andrews
died at first and } Willis in the Hands of
smooth Mr. Thornton.
Now that was tough , wasn't ill
The brewers did not get a man to first in
their half.
Again the first man up in the fifth , which
was Urquahart , sent the spectators' blood
boiling with excitement by a corker to the
right. ,
But that boy Thornton is a foxoy mug , nnd
by putting on nfi ; extra curliqucs , which
ho had stored nwiV In his vest pocket for
jiibtsuch a crists'ns this , ho struck the next
three men out so qatckly they hardly know
what happened. ' '
Captain Andrews'wni so hot that ho singed
his shirt collar. It'was ' gall nnd wormwood
to hear the dear people flinging their melodi
ous plaudits upon the air for u pitcher from a
foreign land.
Again the Brewers failed to score , as did
the Black Sox in the sixth , notwithstanding
Kearns actually led off again with usafo hit.
The visitors , however , were luckier. They
added another brace of tallies to their sldo of
the score.
Pottit wet to first on balls , nnd Shock nnd
Morrissey following with hits , ho came homo.
Funning next hit Albert with the ball and
the bases wcro full. Thou ho pitched four
more wide ones and Morrissey was forced
ucross the pan.
Oh , dear I Oh. dear I
But that was all. The next two men were
neatly attended to by Walsh and Andrews.
The seventh was unproductive for the local
team , but Milwaukee gobbled up four moro
tallies just like a girl in her teens immersing
herself in ice cream.
Poorman made a hitwhich Wally Andrews
made a great dlvo for , but only succeeded in
stopping , then Undo Abner and Pettit did
thusamo and Walsh's fumble of Shock's
grounder filled the bases.
It Is only necessary to add that the whole
quartette scored.
Aud that ended the run-getting , nnd when
Urquahurt made the twenty-seventh out in
the ninth , the crowd picked itself uii in a sad ,
dejected sort of way and meandered in a
dozed condition out into the yellow sunshine
and homo.

CHAMP-AKIN , III. , Juno 8. The students of
the university enjoyed a small-sized jamboree
last night at the expense of several professors.
It is tlio custom for the members of the grndu
atlng class to give a reception and hall dur
ing commencement week. The class of IS'JO
petitioned the faculty of the university to
permit the new hall to bo used for the com
mencement hall. The faculty would not per
mit it , much to the disgust of the class.
After the society .meetings Friday night
about thirty or forty couples slyly mndo their
way to the hullding , and by thoiiid of several
tallow caudles , several mouth organs and
guitars , they wore enjoying the dedication of
the new building , when Hov. Dr. Peabody ,
regent of the university , appeared upon the
scene. The crowd put out the lights aud
vacated the building. Dr. Pe.ihody , Prof.
Forbes and others guarded the east entrance.
Several couples of tlio young people tried to
rush out , but were repulsed by the professors.
A small garden hose In use around the
grounds was secured and the water turned
on , the professors guarding the entrance. Dr.
Peabody endeavored to turn the water off at
the hydrant , but was unable to do so on ao-
count of tlio deluge of water ho received from
ttio hose In the bunds of tlio students.
It Is not known what action the faculty will
take in the matter.

The present administration nt the Iowa
cnpltol linvo been having a ilillleult time fill
ing some of the minor positions. Especial ) }
lias this been the case with the janitorshlp of
the governor's rooms. Several colored men
Imvo been ehosen , only to ho dropped again
on protests from tlie bourbon party that they
wero-not democrats. At last Walter Blrnoy ,
a barber of tills city with a good deal of
white blood in his veins , and withal a very
agreeable man , has been chosen
and will assume his duties tomorrow
morning. Even his'domocraey is questioned
but some of the democrats console themselves
with the conclusion that his politics are as
good as the governor's , to say the least.
Quito n row has been raised over the sum
mary dismissal of the janitor of the stale
library and the substitution of a rockrlhbcd
democrat. The chntipc was made for purely
political reasons , and tlioro is some talk that
the executive council , which Is I to 1 repuhll
can , will refuse to confirm the change. It is
regarded as an entering wedge which mat
result in putting democratic janitors in all
the ofllrcs In the building.
