January 10, 18i5. , r t hood remained. After bad Inws, bad men, bad policy had impoverished the masses, and wealth and luxury bad en ervated the clauses (jut an these tilings ar doing in the United States today), then Human mauhood was gone. Then Itome was at the mercy of any Attilla that might come that way. Then war and conquest destroyed civilization. Slaves paid tribute and civilization per ished.. It will be very easy to repeat all this by supinely waiting on circumstances to develop deliverance from what we all know is working our degradation at this moment. We can sell all the powers of steam, electricity, etc., to capital, char ter corporations, let all the lands and minerals pass into the hands of the rich, leave the masses without homes, without hope, without courage, without man hood, and then sink into oblivion just as surely and much quicker than those sunken. empires of the past did it. If we choose not to do that we can seize the moment and fortify against any such fatality. Such use as God intended in giving us these great natural powers and sources of wealth, honestly and per sistently applied, can and will save us and our country for free men. We need not lose our art of printing, our knowl edge of steam, electricity and improved machinery, but we can lose them by just losing manhood. Men may hoot at this and call it all rot, but just as great things have been lost, and just as strong countries as these United States have gone to pieces. It is not yet thirty years since we narrowly escaped just such a dissolution by the hand of Americans, and the foreign foe only loaned a helping . hand at a distance. Art and science would not have perished immediately had the south gained their indejiendence, but two debts must then have been paid by the very people who are groaning un der one. Double our present hardships and how much would be left for the la . borer? Nor are we strengthened by the votes of 1892 and 1894. Cleveland was 'elected by more than a million of votes , in 1892. Two years later the million went to the Republicans. Call the first a rebuke to McKinley, and the last a re buke to Cleveland. There is some com fort in taking that view of it. But the fact remains that about all the honest change in conviction voted with the Pop ulists. The balance shows a multitude slippery as eels, and dangerous to the last degree when aroused by passion. There was very little of conviction or patriotism in their vote. " It meant pas sion, corruption, everything but safety. The next degree of intensity after vot ing is fighting, so we stand on the crum bling edge of a precipice. The money power can furnish a few degrees of inten eifiorl foulitior hv tnminur down the screw o four tlironflu Tim nluve nower did It. and who dares to say the money power will not do it: to be continued. Proposed Article of Incorporation. The committe appointed at the Co-operators' Conference, held in Lincoln De cember 15 and 16, 1894, to draft pro posed articles for the Christian Corpora tion heretofore discussed and advocated in this paper, beg leave to recommend the following as the legal basis of the or ganization. Upon comparing the Ne braska and Iowa codes we find the laws of Iowa much more favorable, and it is therefore better, evidently, that we incor porate under the Iowa code. This will not make it necessary for us to locate in Iowa, take notice. We simply take ad vantage of the ample provisions of Iowa law, and may locate in any other state to carry out our plans.

Wo would thus teach that communion with the Infinite and with one another is by means of labor, and we must love most those who labor most faithfully, sacri ficing ease and energy, to bring to us good things and useful knowledge to en joy. Our future and ultimate object in giving birth to this Christian Corpora tion orsocial body is through itsgrowth, its accessions of members, to save indi viduals completely by saving all men from the infinite evils of the present sel fish struggle of divided contending indi vidualism.

Tho west Talks Back. Papillion, Neb., Dec. 30, 1894. Editor Wealth Makers: . In an issue of the Morning Advertiser of New York, dated December 27, which has been extensively circulated in the west, appears an article headed, "Popu list, Conference at St. Louis," which I re plied to as follows: Under recent investigation some of the Doodling and corruption in New York City has been brought to light. I hope that it will continue until all classes are brought under investigation, for I be lieve Hint all like articles that appear in i he corporation organs of our large cities are inspired by boodle. Now, when vour guilty hund pens the (ear that the 'different elements may amalgamate, -vim disclose the npprehension of your cIiihs that jiiNtice may overtake you. "The crunks that, assemble at St Louis" will not include Grover Cleveland nor his representatives; for they are ex clusively the property of the New York eofdbugs and boodlers, who elected him, not "through all unices and deals with the People's party in the western states," but with alliances and deals in the east ern states, as the presidential vote of 1888 and 1892 reveals. In 1888 Harri son received in New York 14,377 plural ity. In 1892 Cleveland received 45,518 plurality. This difference of 59,895 votes in vour state probably shows the pur- riiiiniiiuniimumiHiiiiiitinrammiuutmmnuinnniTniuiiumauuujiuiuiaJiij I NOW IS YOUR TIME!

Co., 1 Lincoln, Neb. liiiiJiiHiraniiiiiiii mmmmmmmtmmmmmxmmm mmmmmmmS chasable votes of boodlers and the gulli ble victims of the city press. The western people want no instruct ion from your class of political plunder ers and British goldbug theorists. Your "gospel of plunder and discontent" should be applied and confined to great er New York, a city that has been buik up by plundering the industrial classes of the nation and whoso inhabitants are now quarreling among themselves over the division of the spoils. The western part of the "American peo- SIo" are not ready to beconverted to the ev York style of "prosperity and or der." Our "public schools" have taught us to be foes to that kind of society. Your "imaginary danger," that we will ever control the "weak and unscrupul ous," is absurd, for "birds of a feather flock together," so you may expect so long as your boodle holds out to retain them. The path of safety is a combination of patriotic citizens under a political party that will see to it that the income tax in some form is retained and that the doc trine of "prosperity and order," as taught by New Yorkers of your stripe is repudiated, and this country brought back to prosperity and order that means something to its humble citizens. Sym pathetically yours, CuA8. Nownes. LITERARY AOTKS Mr. Thomas Russell of the United States Engineer office at Sault Ste, Marie, Michigan, has written a insist in teresting work on Meteorology which which Maemillan & Co. have in press. It is entitled Weather and Hood Forecast ing Methods, and is fully illustrated by maps and diagrams. Among Maemillan & Co's announce ments for January is a very interesting work on the Adoption and Amendment of Constitutions in Europe and America, translated from the French of Charles Borgeaud by John Martin Vincent, ol John Hopkins University. The book is a brief but systematic treatise on the methods by which constitutions are Adopted and changed in all the countries )f Europe and America where written ;harters prevail. In a preliminary chapter, the author shows that the writ ten constitution was first practically realized in the American colonies; was carried from there to Frunce, and thence was spread all over the continent of Eu rope. The revolutionary movement com pelled the monarchies to adapt them selves to fixed charters of various kinds, and the manner in which this was done affords opportunity for very interesting studies and comparisons. In fact, no one thing reveais more clearly the pre vailing ideas of law and government in a state than the relation of the people to the building and mending of their consti tution, and on this account the book be comes at ouce an essay in comparative democracy. Without intending to write a constitutional history, nor yet a com plete exposition of the government of each of these countries, yet by bis vigor ous sketches the author has succeeded in giving the reader remarkably clear views of the origin, growth, and present status of government in them all. Of Switzer land he is able to write as a native, of France as a long resident arid close ob server, while of the history of America he displays an intimate knowledge of which many a native student might well be envious. 80-Acre Farm to Rent.
