The second day of the Haptlst stale con
vention was devoted to thu interests of tha
Young People's union. Ttii meeting opened
at U o'clocK with n full house.
Tlio dovotlotinl meotlnz was led by Uev.
, / E. U , Folsom and it lasted half an hour.
At' ) no the business session was called to
order by President Macicod. Ho spoke
feelingly of the great family aflllctlon Hint
had overtaken President Hiirrlson In the
prolonged Mcknc s and death of Mrs , Harri
son and ho called upon Or. Wood of Lincoln
to offer a special prayer for the president and
his family.
After the offering of this supplication n
ipecinl cotnmittoo was nppoluled lo prcmiro
j messngo of ( .ympaihy to bo sent to Presi
dent Harrison.
The following ministers wore appointed to
prounro the toloarun : Hev. W. Tate of
Froir.otit. llov. W. P. Ilolllngsof Otnnha
nnd Dr. E. T. Allen uf Omnha.
The committee reported in a foiv moments
and the convention scut the following mes-
ijro to President Harrison :
"Benjamin Harrison , President of the
United .States : The Baptists of Nebraska ,
now in coiivontln.- assembled , send heart
felt sympathy. See II. Corinthian1' , 1. . 4 "
The verse loads : "Who comforteth as in
nil our tribulations that wo may bo able to
comfort them which nio in any trouble , by
t'.ie comfort wherewith wo our.selvcs are
comforted of Uod. "
President Maclcod c vo a verhal report of
the progress inodo clunntr the year by the
Baptist Young People's Union of Nebraska.
Ho had no tabulated statement of mom-
bewhlp or of the smoirita of money
paid by the various societies during the
year , for ho said many of the local branches
had been lax in reporting to him. Ho jjavn a
general idea , however , of the wont that
hcd been douo. Ho believed there
were morn than ! t,000 , members of the young
people's sociely of'.lie ' chutch in Nebraska
nnd lhjj orgaul/atlon wns not completed by
nny mean- . . lie had traveled many thousands
of miles durTlig the year in attending meetings
of local brunches of the Haptlst Young Poo-
pie's union , and thu good work nail been
moving on.
I'diiu.itlim of Iliu Young linptlsls.
Mrs. It. M. Hodenc' * of Central City road
nn excellent paper upon "Higher Education
of Baptist Young People. " She took the
Ground thnt every young man and woman
should strive lo gulii a thorough education.
They should not bo coutunt with n mere
"bread nnii butter" education. That sort of
thing was u very low view of life. Baptist
young people , the lady held , should , if possi
ble , attend u good. Baptist colleio und take
thn full course.
Mr. G. W. Parks of Lincoln discussed the
subject : "Wanted Conviction. " Ho took
up the various voung people's organisa
tions , the Young . Mon's ' Chris
tian association , tno Young Pee
ple's Society of Christian Endeavor ,
the Queen's Daughters , nnd tno various de
nominational organizations. The past three
or four decades bud witnessed n wonderful
movement in the organ U.ilion of Christian
young people , but the iiuestion naturally
arose : Were these organizations doing
nil that they could or should do for
thn reformation and salvation of the
human race ) Ho reared that there were lee
many young people riding on the gospel train
who had but a faint idea of the vltnl import
ance of the work they had undertaken to ac
complish. Some of them needed a new spinal
column , the speaker thought. They wors
weaklings baci.uso they had not exercised
their splrltiiAl powers sufllcienily lo build
themselves up Into stronjc men and women
in Christ. The trouolo existed because of the
fuel Ihut the feeling of conviction , the con
sciousness of great responsibility had not
been weighing down heavily upon the hearts
of these lu Ice-warm Christians. Ho thought
thnt the consciousness of Christian responsi
bility should strike deep enough mlolbo minds
and hearts of the people lo get hold of iho af
fections and roach clear down to the pocket-
hook and bhell out iho cusli in lavisu quan
tities.
The lack of n deep conviction had put
many a Christian tu bleep uiuler the influ
ence of Satan.
Thu laclc of conviction on the part of Bomo
concreirntto.is lias slarvod failhful pastors
and pinched the missionary collodion into a
miserable trllle. Deep conviction sot people
on their feet , stirred the blood in their
veins and put their hands and
'
hearts in tuno'wlth the Blessed Masler.
Conviction produced will power , persever
ance , hope , courage and made the man or
uonmn It took hold of a workingund success
ful Christian.
The address wns heartily applauded.

Kav. A. M. Wilson , I ) I ) . , president of Iho
Grniul Island college , was Introduced and
addressed the convention for fifteen minutes
very entertainingly.
Un hnd hoard ol n fnw young people In No-
hrasa who ccemcd to bo u little aslmmod to
confess that they were mumbers of the
Buptht chutch. He xvus glad lo suy , how
ever , that none of the young poo-
pie present in the convbnuon har-
uarcd such feeliiiL's. There wat
nothing to feel ashamed nf In iho Baptist
church , but on the other band there were
many things over which to feel proud In be
longing1 to the church. Ho snul a few
good words for tbo colleco and
urged ell tha young pcoplo to
ntnna up heroically nnd realouslv for the
Baptist collu.ro at ( Jrund Island , The school
had been opened uut a short lime but it nas
uomn to stay. The school was a permanent
llxturo and the future would cer
tainly sea It prow Into a largo nnd
InlluonliiU Institution. Ho hoped ( hit the
school would receive n goodly share of the
attention and contributions from nil thn
Baptist people ,

Yesterday afternoon the program ot the
nuptist convention was a centennial mission
ary meeting. The devotional mootiue , which
forined thn preliminary partot thn afternoon
soislon. was conducted DJ Dr. W. E. Wittier.
Key. E. X. Ilarrh of Hatli-Edon church
read the report of the com.nlttoo on foreign
inlsMons.
A number of short spaochas followed the
report.
llov. L. A. Mitchell of Hoatrico , from the
Uluo River association , had sqmo discourag
ing things to say regarding the work. Some
pastors and leading church member * were
indifferent as to the progress of the mission
ary causo. "It is enough to make the angels
turn against u = , " said tbo speaker , "lo see
the amount of lethargy that exists among
Ills alleged followers upon this Important
work. "
: Needed.
llov. E. It , Terry of Lincoln , froai the
st Kcbiaska association , was not Inclined
to up braid the members of his church on ac
count of tliolr Indifference or laxity upon the
question of missionary support , lie realized
that the demands ' .voro very great. There
wns a sort of grab game going on constantly
between the foreign and homo missionary
boards. Kach board felt the pressure of iu
own needs most nnd ninilo nn effort to got
thn lion's share of the fuud . tlo
believed there should bo n more systematic
method of raising funds for the
missionary work. The funds for this great
cause should bo looked after just as system-
a.icnlly ns any other department of the
church work. lie believed in having the
assessment for missions divided up among
the young people , Iho la'iles socielles nnd
the individual members of erich church , und
ho believed in raising the money all
in u lump , simply for missions und
let thn division " of the funds bo de
termined by the church after the
money had neon raised. System was the
ono Important desideratum In the work nna
when the church once decided to follow a
dolinito system in raising funds , then the
inonoy would coaio all righl.
Con-tillered a ( ioiul Plan.
Uev. Frank W. Foster , representing the
Omaha association , heartily seconded Iheso
remarks. Ho tirped Iho nocessily ot a
rtcflnito plan in raising missionary funds
just tbo same as in raising other funds of
the church. The haphazard way has failed
to do the work. A plan should nnd ho be
lieved would bo adopted by which the mis
sionary funds would bo systematically
raised.
I tor. F. E. Hritlen of Norfolk , from Iho
Loup tind Eikhorn association , took up the
discussion and ottered soma timely sugges
tions. The people were in tha habit of
demanding somolhiug something tang-
lole oeforo tuom before they were willIng -
Ing to pay their money , The people
needed to bo taught simply to give their
money for mission ? , without stopping to
cavel or ask about the special Hold in which
the funds were to bo expended.

The report of the state secretary of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society was
read by Mrs. E. T. Allen. While the so
ciety had done well during the past yonrtho
secretary thought that much moro might
Imvo boun done. Sha hoped that
the stale society would raise no * .
less than $1 , ( ' > ( ) ( ) during the ensuing
vcar aHhougu the apportionment was only
51.900. Tlio report gave n detailed account
of Uio condition und progress of tno various
locul lusoclalious , uud withal tlio outlook ap
peared lo bo very bright for Iho missionary
work ns carried on by iho women of the
church.
The association noctvtarles of the women's
societies gave u number of ttirea-inlnuto re
ports. M . K. W. Harris ot the Oinutm
association read a very encouraging report.

of which roads as follows :
"To strlvo to secure the establishment of
right and justicalo onwolvos nnd posterity. "
Now I purpoio taking that doslar.Ulon as
a text and showing , In soinj moisiirJ , now
well the alli.inco h is lived up to it. If what
I shall say sh ill appear to the discredit of
Iho ulllancjatid , Indirectly , to the discredit
of the Indopandont party , I cannot help it.
Truths psrtinent to the issues In this po.-fl-
leal campaign should 'ho ' made Known. The
independent party ll an Issue nnd the nl-
llanoo is an issue. The men who control and
give character to th'o alllanco control and
glvo character tb the independent
party. If they I are tyrannlcil , dis
honest and unjust , thwo ors.xnlz itions mil Hi
of necessity bo unwurthy of support , for n
stream cannot rise higher than its source.
As regards its constitution and declared pur
poses , the alliance la eminently worthy no
right-minded man copld object to It on that
ground. The trouble with the alliance is
that it fell into the hands of autocrats , trick
sters , weaklings ana ( frauds , who were able
to lead u majority o'f its members by the
nose to iho devil. After these men had be
trayed the alliance into party polities it was
the'ir hypocritical prstcnso that the alltanco
was non-partisan und educational. Whou
these deluded fnrmtirs shall have grad
uated from thisJ ' previous school
of polllies Ihoywill , Hnd their
chief education to cortsm in a knowledge of
Iho fact that It pay ? patter to do one's own
thinking nnd lo depend , upon one's own ef
forts for tno botterment.of hi * condition than
to blindly follow . salt-constltulod Moseses
nnd gulp down their political nostrums.
If in this do-crlplioft ( .talk somewhat nbout
myself it will bo , not because 1 have nny personal -
sonal grievances lo air.lbut boeauso my ox-
periouco in the alliarica and it might us well
ba understood tha' I aip-in the alllanca today
and socratary of our loeit lodge may propo
erlv bo used in elucidation of my tesl.
Wnon I wrote thosojlptters two years ago
attacking the loaders or tiic alliance for atc
tompllcg to turn our oivn organization over
, to the indepjndont party it was not because
1 wished to any oxleutwhnlovcr to control
or Inlluonco the ulltaao ? lo the advanlogo of
the republican parly , out bncuiso 1 saw they
were sucrillcing Ihe interests of tuo ulliaucj
and of the farmers to their own solllsh araUln
tlon and grossly violating the letlor nnd spirit
of our constitution.
LSI me brielly racur { o soma of tha thingt
which ivore originally considoroJ u-nong its
tnotnbsrs a making tin alliance strictly non-
partfstn and which 'oucht to inat-o it such
vtoday.
On becoming a msrhbsr every person is
required lo sign nn qblljratlon lu which ho
declares , among uthar things , that ho has
not Joi-ied the ulliaico | through nny "im
proper or partisan motivo1' ; the second of
the declared purposes of the alllanco Is "to

classes in the science/ / fit economical govern

"Thoro shall not bo any political lasts of

page o , before taking the llnal obligation ol
the order , the candidate is informai thai it
"will not conflict 'with his pqlllical or
religious convictions. " ( I would not con
sider myself jtistlllod In making this quota
tion from the ritual' had it not been so fre
quently publicly referred to by loaders of
the aliiunce. ) tuotonj.vjwns nonpartlssin.ship
the law ef the alllanoq , but up till the time
of Iho organization of the Independent
partv in this state the founder. *
nnd leaders of the nlltancn recognized it as
such. At the meeting of the stute alliance
In the winter of ' 8'J-.tO , nt Grand Island , Jay
Burrows , who was than president of Ihe
national alliance , ndnionlslied the members
us such lo have nothing lo do wilh i ho forma-
lion of a now parly , tolling them Unit if the
allianro wont into politics it would bo its
dcslruclion , and enlorced Ins contention by
referring to the esporjpnco of the alliance in
connection with Iho nnti-monopolv parly ,
lie hold , nnd most Justly , that no new party
was Hooded , und tol.l .tho farmers that they
could got what they wauled through the old
parties only so they were unllod and know
what they wanted. Powers , who was
then president of the stuto alliance ,
hud previously tnkun the same position and
yet these men. and othflu , for reasons best
known to themselves , sttillillod ihomsolvo *
and violated the constitution und their ob-
llgutlons by joining ns nlllanco officials in
the movement to start a new party and en
couraging subordinate nnd county alliances
to give it their formal support , which they
did verv generally throughout the stato.
Did that kind of work look much like tryIng -
Ing to establish right and Justice * ( Was
ihoro much of Justlci in it to republicans
nud democrats who hau joined tbo alliance
in coed faith as a nonparlisan organisation ,
relying on Ihe solemn assurance that U
would not Interfere with their political convic

not been elected , uiid they were so zealous
in that matter that ttioy left thousands of
their consliluents fur a whole tnontb in dan
ger of btarvatlon without lifting a linger to
help them.
Having denounced legislative caucuses ,
they organized a caucus most tyrannical and
literally denounced any member who showed
tbo least , disposition to refuse lo submit to
its dictates. But what bettor could have
been expected of them ) They had shown
an utter disregard of tbo laiy of the alllanco
ana the rights of Its ummbers ; they were
only consistent with taonuelvoi in showing
a like disregard of the laws of the state and
tbo rights of its ctlzans. )
In the alliances a varjr strong pressure was
brought to bsar by the leader * and the inde
pendent majority to force tbo entire memoer-
ship intodttio Independent parly. 'This , I
suppose-was for the purpose ot ostal'lul.uig
richt niul justice and tor the education of the
farmers ! in n strictly uoniuri'mn ' spirit.
Many who were naturally dhlnclinoJ ,
yloldod ; others refused , some leaving the
onliT and sotno ronnlnln ? , Inslulngon their
rlitht to vote with what pmv they pleased.
Forsooine what thU precious band of con-
splratorj were about , I did not wait , but at
tacked them from the beginning in Titr. Hi- :
nnd other public prints. Such Uidopjiidcnco
ns thit was not to < ia tolerated. \ ou should
know. : Mr. niltor , that in the alll-nco and
independent Dirty ills not in accordance
'
wi'h tbo principle's of right and justice that
n man Rhoulu spank his own mind , nr oven
have nny mind of his own , and that when
those ' paopln shall have followed out their
"principles" to their logical conclusion , the
govorninnt will not only own railroads ami
teloeraphs , but the souls of men.
\\ell , It bocimo necossarv that I Mio'ild begotten
gotten out nf thow.vv , and of this 1 wi h now
to give n brlof account , touching lljhtlv on
such facts as have becti heretofore published.
If 1 had committed any olTenso against the
nlllanco U would hnvo boon otsv to bring
charges and expel mo in n rceuinr wav.
Th it would have boon in accordance with
old-faslilonrd ideas of justice and ttio well
principles of American law , but
not so in the alllnnoo. ICvcn their own
wrltion iaiv is a dead loiter , i'hoy do not
think it is nocojjary to zlvo a man charged
with nu oftonso a Hlr nnd spnjity trial , tlioy
do not ballovo la giving it m in nny trial at
nil.
In the alllniico it Is In accordaiico with the
principles of right and justice to bang a man
up to n lamn post without uvon Ipttinsr him
know what it Is for , If no happens to incur
tljo dlspluasuro of the alliance powers that
bo. nnd so orders were sent from the hand-
quarters of the stiito alliance thnt I should bo
poromptorHv kicked out ( This nssortlon I
can prove oy written testimony In my pos
session. ) A few objdiont ours aojordlnglv
sneaked Into ono of our mootlngs during my
abicnco , passed n votu of expulsion and
iiftorwarJs refused mo ndmlsslon. I niadj
cnmnlalnt to our ( Morrlck ) county alllanco
that 1 had uccn arbitrarily and
unlawfully deprived of my rights nnd asKed
for an investigation. Hut the alliance In
Merrick countv , the leaders of which are
also thn loaders of the independent parly in
thnt county , did not think nny principles of
right and justioa wore involved inthuciso
and so they treated my complaint with con
tempt and persistent noglect. Lint , it happened -
ponod that there was always a majority in
my ullinnco opposed to the high-handjd out
rage and , in splto of strong opposition , they
t'umlly rostoivd me to full membership.
What now was the llttlu band of conspira
tors nt Lincoln to do ! They undertook to do
precisely what t had anticipited nna had
lateen measures to guard against. Immedi
ately on my reinstatement , I caused all back
quarterly reports to the state alllanco with
tlio necessary fees and duos to bo sent to
the state secretary. Ho having boon
previously uotlliod ol my remslatc-
mcnt did not reply immediately. In
the meantime tno assistant lecturer
of the state alllnnco , Pratt of Clnrks , In niak-
ing nn independent spae h at Silver Crack ,
nonpartlsan of course , informed the public ,
in the interest of the establishment
of right and justice I suppose ,
that there was no alliance nt Silver Croak.
Ilosaid that "thoy" thooflleers of the state
alliance , lucludlntf the president , vice presi
dent < J , secretary , lecturers , the live members
of the executive committee , etc. "had
formed themselves into : i kind of sunromo
couri , " ( by the way , this is not the supreme
court that"Shrader damned ) , nnd that such
was the decision of this court , which ho was
authorized to make public. The constitution
of the alliance does not provide , directly or
indirectly i , for the establishment of any such
"court,11 but then I suppose the nllionco-ln-
depondcnt outtit ut Lincoln formed it ns an
aid in the establishment of right and justice.
Shortly after that our secretary , Martin
Kuruis , received a letter from State Secre
tary Thompson , which is as follows :

hold a mooting at au early dato. Will advise
you of their actmn as soon us the matter can
bo considered. Yours very truly.
.1. M. THOMPSON , Secretary.
( I wish those who have followed mo thus
fur would carefully note the points of the
above letter and what I shall now say con
cerning it , In order that they may the better
understand tha cussedness of the outlit that
is now loaning us farm rs anJ laborers the
poor down-trodden "white slaves" of Amer
ica to a political mlllenium , where , I takn
it , just such "right nnd lustlco" ns I have
boon talking about In this long loiter will bo
fully established. )
Section fi , article ix. . of our state comtitu-
tion Is ns follows :
Section 5. When a subordinate alllanco
shall fall to matte its report to the state and
county alliance , us provided in section 1 of
article v. , H shall not bo allowed representa
tion ; and if shall continue in said neglect and
not send elms to to iho state alliance us
provided in section ! i of this article , for the
term of ono year. Its charter shall bo sus-
pandcd. It shall bo the dutv of the secre
tary of tlio state alliance to notify such al
liances of their suspension nnd the cause
thereof , and upon n payment of said duos ,
Accjnipnmed by said reports , they shall bo
reinstated In full membership.
It does not nojii n lawyer to see from the
aboro that , the piyment of our dues as ac
knowledged by tbo state secretary and the
necessary reports were in that letter too , for
I put them thoru mvself would have fully
reinstated us oven if wo had bson suspamled.
AH ivo nenjeil to know was that Iho duos
and reports had boon received. Duplicate
reports with nocoisary fnos were also ten
dered the secretary of the county alllanco
but refused. Neither the secretary , tbo ox-
ocutlvo committee nor nny other authority
had niiy right direct or implied to refuse us
recognition after both reports and dues had
boon sent It , Any Intelligent alliance man
in iho state will sustiiln mo in this assertion ,
and yet to this day wo hnvo boon rofuieu
recognition , but they keep our $1.10 , 1-rab-
ably thov want It to aid them in oslnblishtug
right and justico.
but why should they thus arbitrarily at-
tempt to cut off our nlllanco ( Kvldontly because -
cause that was the only way they then had
of getting rid of mo. H was nothing to them
