August Post , the secictnry , has recently
Issued tlio following letter explanatory of tbo
objects of tlio orgnni/atlon :
The National farmers' nlllnnceas , thunamo
donates , Is a national organization of farmers ,
having for its object tbo promotion of tlio In
terests of agriculture. The reasons for Itsex-
istanco Is to bo found in the fact that this is
nil ajo of organization an ago in which 1m-
iortant losults nro accomplished only by
messing force * thnt can bo bound together
upon the b.usls of slmlllarty of circumstances
nnd community of Interests. It Is bollovcd
that the luliuonco to which the magnitude
nnd Importance of agriculture entitle it , can
only bo exerted through the principle of or-
gnnlzntlon , and It is only thus tnat
farmers can favorably affect the social
ftiut economic conditions which so vi
tally concern them. It Is believed ,
further , that the Ecnor.il public- does not
desire to bo unjust , and would not willingly
deny to so Important a section of Industry as
agriculture any fair nnd well considered de
mand which fanners regard ns essential ot
advantageous to their welfare. Organization
utTords an opportunity for such intelligent
discussion ns shall furnish a lonsonablo as
surance that tno demands which may be
made aie fair and well considered , ana also
supply n voice which to uomooUoni , at least ,
can give uuthoritiUivu expression to the
farmers' wishes and needs , after they shall
have been formulated. Those are some oi
the considerations and only some of them
which ronrtor organization l > y tbo farmers ol
the country desirable , not only for their own
sake , but for the sake of the public. Horc
unrest and discontent without definite cx <
pressing grounds of complaint have novoryol
righted n wrong or removed a crlovanco.
The object , then , of the National farmers' '
alliance Is to secure unity of action , after ful !
nnd intelligent discussion , for the promotior
of such lororins ns may be necessary to a bet
taring of tbo farmers' condition. It covers i
broad field , and nothing thnt can advance th <
welfare of the farmer Is foreign to It
Naturally , purposes so extensive cannot be
described in detail In a word. Thpy Include
reformation In economics , tbo dlssomltimior
of principle1 ! calculated tocncourapo and fester
tor agricultural pursuits , and to secure U
these engaged In tlicm their just share of th <
returns from the soil , the education of th <
agricultural classes In Just Ideas of govern
mont.l opposition to monopoly , tlio laciilca
tlonof the belief in the dignity and worth o
the pursuit of agriculture , the discussion o
all topics relating to the farm , whether ill
rcctly , as la the case of crops , grasses , feed
ing , etc. , or moro remotely , as In the case o
transportation , markets , supply nnd demand
and the like. The principle ) of co-oporatlot
in purchasing Is one to wlilc )
the alliance devotes much , attcn
tlon , mid with good results , nn <
it seeks by legitimate means to so Influence
legislation ns to secure Juitlco from the rail
roads and transportation companies , to ahol
ish special privileges to the few , to proven
food adulterations Injurious nllko to consumer
or and producer , and to Increase markets a
homo and to crush combinations which toni
to destroy legitimate trading under the law
of competlon nnd supply anil demand.
With this purpose In view the Natlonn
farmers' nlllnnco has organized state nlll
antes in ten of the states of tlio unionand ha
in process of organization llvo other states
with numerous local alliances hi still othc
states where the body Is not jot stroiij
enough to warrant state organlzutlon. Th
plan of organization conskts of the Natlonn

auxiliary to It , and these In turn liuvo subot

Xlio I'mployos Deny Tbat They Cre
ated Any Dlflturliaiice.
The nine employes of the Garneiiu bakery
who struck last "Monday deny that they ere-
ted any disturbance at the bakery on South
Thirteenth street last Wednesday night.
They stated yesterday to a DEK reporter
, hat three of the force , PeUsr lick , James
O'Connor nnd Charles King , went to the
inltcry on Wednesday night nt the Invitation
f the foreman to talk the tniltor over. The
oroman usknd them whan they got to
ho bakery , they said , if they
, \ould go to work , nnd they replied that they
.vould If they were not obliged to sign a con-
, iact. This contract , so the men claim , pro
vides that they work from January 21,1891 ,
until November 14 , nnd that they pay $1 per
, vcek out of their wages Into a fund which is
o bo refunded to thorn at the expiration of
ho contract , if they quit before the contract
ixpiros , so they claim , they will lose the SI a
.veekfortho time they hnro worked. This
lontracttho men refused to sign , and refused
o work with anybody who would sign It.
The strikers claimed also tlmt they were
c fused whnt wni coming to them when they
ailed nt the ofllco on Tuesday , the regular
layMfty. They were told that they would

ionic ot them who needed money.
Mr. Wielntid , the foreman , was scon by n
BUR rcoorter ycsterdny. Ho said ho bad not
irged the men to sign the contracts. Ho
limply presented them , as the company hnd
tistructed him to do , and lot the men use
heir own judgment in the nutter. Ho said
tint the placet of the strikers nro MOW all
tilled by capable men and the work moves on
as usual ,
Mr. Pierre ( iiirncau said yesterday thnt
ho contracts which they nsltod the men to
sign are virtually the same ns the verbal con-
, racts under which the men have boon work-
ng Instead of paying the men $14awcok and
keeping $1 out , they pay them $10 a week and
glvocnch man credit for 61 , which goes into
n sort of premium fund and is paid the men
at the end of the ye.ir. or when they quit ,
providing they give the foreman duo notice ,
or In case of accident or sickness whloh
necessitates their quitting the employment
of the rompitiy.
This is the way the bakeries in the large
cities nro conducted It furnishes nn induce-
inent for the men to bo faithful ar.d steady ,
anil gives them n snug little lump of inoue.v

> IloiiRO Last Sun
day
The Inquest to determine the causa of
tlio death of Nathan Bernstein came to a
close last evening after holding llvo session *
nnd examining' thlrty-flvo witnesses. Tbo
testimony was very conflicting , and It was
very evident , oven to a casual observer , thnt
the statements of n largo number of tbo
witnesses were totally unreliable. Tbo
larger nart of the Polish and Itusslnn Jews
of tbo city were present every day nnd were
divided into two factions , ono roproscntlnir
the interests of ICloIn nnd Splirlo and tlio
otber factlou being under tbo loiulorsblp of
Isaac Hrown. the furniture dealer , a cousin
of Bornstoin.
Whenever nny testimony wns introduced
which made things look dubious for Klein &
Spittle , nn adherent of tboso people would
skirmish around and post ono oC the numer
ous hangcra-on of that faction nnd would
then inform the coroner or the county attor
ney that "this man knows something1. " The
man would bo put on tbo stand and would
tell n story directly contrary to tbo ouo which
reflected on Klein or Splglo.
It developed during tbo inquiry that nearly
nil the witnesses who testified for these men
were related to thorn In some way.
At yesterday's ' session County Attorney
Jlahoiioy conducted tbo examination of the
witnesses. Attorney M. V. Oannon wns
present nnd cross-examined the witnesses.
Jlr.Gannonnlso Introduced several witnesses
to prove ttio whereabouts of Spiglo Sunday
afternoon , but every ono of tuotn kept Spl-
Elo unaccounted for between tbo hours of 3
p. in. and 0 p. in.
George llussoll wns recalled. Ho repeated
the story bo told upon tlio stand Thursday
evening about the proposition Dennis Lane
made to him on the corner of Sixteenth nnd
Cuss streets I'Mday ovcuing last to burn a
building.
F. E. Munn appeared as attorney for
Dennis Lnno and proceeded to cioss-cxatmno
the witness Tno only point brought out
which differed from the first statement made
liy the witness was that ho hnd pone up to
Justice Shaw's ofllco with I'ciiiiPll after the
conversation between witness and Lnno , nnd
talked with Lane about the proposition bo
had made to Russell.
Donnls Lane was present during the ex-
nmlnntlon of this witness nnd was put on tbo
stana. Ho stntcd that ho knew Hussell.
Lane then stated that on Thursday or Frd
day afternoon ha was in Justice Shaw's
oftlcohoroho was employed ns clerk nnd
bookkeeper , when someone came after Shaw
nnd Lane cnt down stairs after him. lie
saw Hussoll standing on the corner of Six
teenth and Cass streets in a badly intoxicated
condition. Hussellwanted the witness to
tteat , but ho refused and asked Husscll why
he didn't go to work. Kussell asked the wit
ness to put him onto a ] ob. Witness vetorted
sharply. "Why don't you rob somebody ! "
ilo testified tuat ho snld this because ho
knew Kussell to bo a thief. Ilo then said , as
ho turned to leave Hussell. "Why dou't you
go burn n bulldUjgl" The -witness then
loft Itussoll and went up stairs. A short
tlmo afterwards Ponncll and Russell came
up to Shaw's ' ofllco and I'cnncll stuck bis
bead in the door and said , "Denny , I want to
speak with you. " "Witness said ho had no
time to talk to him and they loft.
Aleclc Splglo was ro-c.illcd and stated
positively that ho was at the store
about 8:30 : or 0 o'clock In the morn
ing , but not afterwards. The witness
hail heard tlio testimony of Kichmond , in
which bo Bnid that ho saw Splglo about the
store with Klein in the afternoon. There
was not a word of truth In this , the -witness
said. Ilo was ntShugi'rmnn's in the after
noon and went from tuoro to Washington
ball , where ho was busy all afternoon fixing
up tbo wines nnd liquors for the ball.
Mr. Gannon then asked the privilege of In
troducing some witness and tbo request wns
granted.
Mrs. Nolllo Lewis Was called. Her bus-
bind keeps a furniture store on North Sbc-
tcciith btrect , the firm being Splglo & Lela.w
She was on the committed topron.iro the sup
per nt the hall. She was at Washington bnll
atli o'clock and Spiglo came in. Ilo re
mained about an hour. Slio met him after-
v.aids , about 5 o'clock , and bo ald ha hnd
been at Shugenmw's. During the even
ing she saw Splglo at short Inter-
vals. The witness also gave sorno tes
timony concerning Kichmond. Ilo was
employed ns driver at the housoof the wit
ness , about n year npo , and stole a diamond
ring. Ho tried to charge the hired girl with
the theft , but tbo ring was trnced to Kloh-
mend , and hu was arrested , The witness
filed a complaint against Richmond , but
afterwards withdrew It , M she was In ill-
health mill did not fool llko prosecuting it ,
Tbo witness testlliod that , Uichnioud had the
reputation of being a great liar. When tbo
witness saw Spiglo in tlio afternoon he wns
alone. Saw Klein at the ball during the
evening. Witness was a niece of Aleck
Splglo ,
Miss ttvn Spiglo was tlio next witness and
corroborated the testimony of tbo last wit
ness. She saw Spiglo in the afternoon as ho
\\nscomlnprfroin Shugerman's. Was also n
niece of Aleck Spiglo.
Morris Davis was called. Ilo was playing
pool nt Fourteenth and Dodge streets nil
afternoon Sunday. Iihniond ! was tlioro nil
afternoon. Had known Kichmond two years
and coulit not hnvo boon mistaken. The wit
ness \\cnt to the sho\v at IJojd's and afU'r
the show ho saw Richmond again at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Dodge. The witness
asked Richmond if ho had scon n fellow.who
lived up on Cumlng street , and Kichmond
said ho had not boon on Guiuing street all
day.
day.Oftleor P. J. Kclloy , who had been sent for
* by the coroner , came In nnd wns put on th < )
stand. Ho testified that ho was on day duty
on Cuming street ; was botwooii Twentieth
and Twenty-eighth streets nil day Sundny :
know Klolu nud Sp'iglo by sight ; saw both of
them Just after ho had reported by telephone
to the station at either U or1 o'clock In the
afternoon ; saw Bplglo going in tbo front door
of tbo saloon ; Klein was thcro , but got Into
hla buggy at the corner of Twenty-first
street and drove away while Splglo went into
tbo saloon. Witness spoke to Spiglo nnd
asked him if bo didn't bavo sense enough to
go round to tbo back door on Sunday. Splglo
did not reply , but wont inside. Tbowitness
know Splirlo and felt sure ho could not bavo
been mistaken.
Mr Oannon tried to rattle the witness by
cross-questioning him , but did not succeed.
Max Schiller , a young man who is in tbo
grocery business on North Sixteenth street ,
was then called by Mr. Gannon. Ilo tosti-
Hod that ho wns in tbo pool room on Four
teenth and DoJgo streets Sunday afternoon
between 3 and 3 o'clock ; saw Richmond
tlioro but did not remember seeing Davis.
Did not speak to'Klchmond , but was sure ho

"I mot II. Walter Condon on the street
yesterday , " said a railroad man to a BEE re
porter last nlgnt , "That It , It was either
Condon or hU doublo./Ihoro Is a peed oppor
tunity for some OnmhA.fly cops , for that man
la badly wanted. "
Continuing the railroad man explained that
Condon wna a defaulting grand secretary of
the Switchmen's Mutual Aid association. In
1867 he disappeared from Chicago , nnd in
vestigation showed him to bo about $3,000
short in his accounts , Condon was employed
in tbo switch yards of the Kansas City ,
Fort Scott & Gulf road at Kansas City. While
thcro he was vnry intimate with TUB UEK'S
informant , and told the latter muoh of his
past. Condon was a inomoer of Qunntroll's
band when Lawrence , Kan , , was raided , and
Inter was a member of n gang of bushwhack-
ore. Ho qulotod down after the war , but
still bore the reputation of being a bad man
to fool with. '
"i met him at the corner of Eighth nnd
Plerco streets , " concluded the railroad man.
"He looked nt mo hard , and before I had tlmo
to speak to him darted Into a door and disap
peared. I think ho Is working la tbo Bur
lington yard undercover. "
