Alliance: Our present social system is just the opposite to the -kivvs of the universe and the plan of na ture. Throw the planets out of their orbits and send them living through .space, crashing against each other, the smaller ones falling before the larger, and you would have a very good illus tration of our present system on a larger scale. What has brought about .this state of affairs? Nothing but arti ficial man-made laws prompted by greed and selfishness contrary to the laws of (Jod and nature. There is a class of men in this world who would if it were in '.their power appropriate all the bread in the world, pile it up in a pile, then stop the seasons in their rotation until they could extort all the wealth from the in habitants, then perhaps sit down on the pi!e and cry for the moon. Xapoleon was one of this class and thev did about the right thing with him. There is an other class afflicted with this klepto mania whose weakness consists in ap propriating worthless trinkets and trash and piling them up. Society has always stood in holy horror of this class, and always adopts speedy measures to pro tect themselves from them, while they have been making the former class rul ers over them. Rut a change is taking place in public sentiment, i'eople are beginning to see that the appropriating of the wealth of the producer by a non pti'dncing class has a tendency to dis courage industry; is driving men out of honorable legitimate labor, and enticing them into unknown paths of specula tion, gambling and other means of ex torting Hie earnings from their fellow men. ( )ur laws must be so reconstruct ed as to leave the producer of wealth the possession of wealth. That will in vite them into the fields of industry in stead of driving them from them. The , application of steam and electricity to navigation, transportation and labor saving machinery is a powerful agency either for the benefit or detriment of the masses. If controlled by the Xa poleon class our history is shoit. This class . with these agencies can destroy i nation; and governments in a very lim ited !race of time compared to the downfall of ancient nations. Will the people of the United States protect themselves from this destroying ele "ment aiul thus avert the impending! calamity? "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." J. 1. Oslkk.

The iirst annual re port shows that m spite of all the op position brought to bear on us. together with the hard times of the past season, ve have come out even financially, and have a whole year's experience to our credit. About thirty shares of the stock have not been taken out, and several others have made but one payment, yet we enter the second year's business with blighter prospects than ever, and all are encouraged witii the outlook.

It is a scientific view of one of the economic questions of the age. lie says: Time was when the carbon and hy drogen, which form practically the whole of our supply of fuel and the principal part of our food, were inor ganicno more capable of sustaining combustion or animal life (if we except certain microscopic forms which de compose carbonic acid) than granite or slate. For vegetable life, however, the supply of food was at its maximum. Vegetable life came, generated in some unknown way by the solar energy which poured through the atmosphere, and the heat energy which penetrated the earth's crust from within. Through the unimaginable ages of the carboniferous period a gigantic Horn fell on the rich atmosphere, assimilating its carbon and hydrogen, and thereby setting free its oxygen, until it could sustain its animal life, at first in the lowest, then success ivelv in the higher forms. This gi gantic flora, with its enormous poten tial energy of chemical separation from oxygen an energy derived chielly from the solar energy of that period, easily admitted and tenaciously retained by the atmosphere is now stored up m the earth as fuel for the future genera tions of our race. Future, I say, for tremendous as the annual consumption of coal, petroleum and natural gas for a generation has been, ve have as yet only begun upon titer great store. Hitherto Mother Earth has been able supply nei cunuieu neeus iry ey peiiuiDg net current income. n mis latter day, lioweverytheir demands have multiplied so rapidly that she has been i obliged to draw upon the capital stored up during the long ages of her maiden-1 hood.

Is her children's prodi gafity actually maicing ner poorer, or shl: tjie power to nullify the ef lects ot their extravagance, and art ire j hr diminisliins resources due only to the decreasing energy of her natural supporter and protector, the sun? However prodigal man may be in his use of earth s treasures, he can never annihilate me :itom ()f her substance or transport it beyond her domain. ; In his wasteful" consumption of fuel, he is only restoring its ele- iineius u mm pniuev.u cuniu- , .1 ... - , , !t. as constituents chiellv of the ci aerial and aqueous oceans which sor- round our globe It follows, then, that the combustion, the the more rapid i richer becomes the atmosphere in its ! . ttll:1;M :iml f ' ,.w,fau,tt growth.

The only essential diflerenee, thereore, which will mark the two re mote geologic periods, the past and the future, will be due to whatever reduc tion w ill have taken place in the sun's energy. But whether that condition is destined ever to' return to earth or not. one thing is certain: it will not be through human instrumentality. Ages before its arrival the percentage of car bonic acid in the atmosphere will have passed the point possible to the contin uance of human life. If not through human agency, then how is it to come? j Certainly not by any of the processes j now in operation. The percentage of carbonic acid in the atmosphere does not materially vary. This tact means simply that somewhere on the earth's surface, vegetation is taking up the enormous surplus of carbonic acid con stantly pouring forth from our millions of furnaces, and thus restoring it to the form of available, fuel. The weight that is constantly sinking, is thus being con stantly relit' ted. by the daily conversion of solar to vital energy. Only some stuperfdous convulsion of nature, like those dreamed of by John of Patmos and Lord. Byron, in which "the ele ments shall melt with ferrent heat,"' can undo the work of the carboniferous ages some tremenduous upheaval in which the subterranean stores of fuel shall at once be laid bare and given over to the devouring oxygen. Then would a new cycle begin, another carboniferous era, in which the store houses would be again slowly rilled for future genera tions of men. Again and again might the cycle return, until the diminishing energy of the sun should fail to uplift the fallen weight, to reorganize the inorganic. or less, of fossil fuels now stored up in j st,imP the state 111 favor otlhe Pi'ohibi the earth's coal bins, shall have been ' tory amendment. consumed, the atmosphere will simply j This is as it should be: when a battle W. C. T. U. COLUMN. Edited by Mrs. S. C. O. Uptox. of Lincoln, Neb., of the Nebraska Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The editor of The Alliance places the re sponsibility of this column in the care of the above editor. The triple alliance oi the W. C. T. U., the Prohibition party, and the Good Templars, for the purpose" of co-operation in the coming amendment cam paign, is announced, and hailed with joy by those who hope and work for the cause. Their address to friends of the amendment announces that the Nation al organization which they are auxil iary representatives will do all in their power to make Nebraska the national battle-ground to fight out the battle be tween the home and the high-license delusion and snare. They recommend that each organization secure funds in its own way, and that in all meetings in the interest of the amendment they co-operate in bearing the burden and expense. They promise to soon furnish an ac credited list of speakers both State and National representing each of the three organizations, and these speakers are to be chosen from among those ca pable of doing the highest class' of ser vice. A call is made for the people to intilize all local speakers, and make the school-houses ring with debates, essays and speeches during the coming con flict Temperance people are advised to enlist the press and pulpit as far as pos sible, and appeal is made for as abun dant financial aid as temperance men and women can consistently make for the cause. There has been some criticism on the position of the great evangelist regard ing prohibition. The following pub lished last week in The New Ilepublic, shows plainly that lie is right in princi ple whatever we may think of his poli cy. 1 noticed in your last issue a quota tion from D. L. Moody on the Prohibi tion. On Oct. 19th 1 addresssed Mr. Moody in the following manner, which he answed over his own signature, as follows: 1st. "Are you in favor of the com plete Prohibition of the liquor traffic and saloon in our Nation?" Ans. "I am.'" :M. "Do you believe it is right in the sight, of God to grant license for the sale of intoxicating liquors?" Ans. "I do not." od. Do you think there is any other attitude except that of uncompromising hostility toward the Liquor traffic, for the true follower of Christ?" Ans. "I do not." 4th. "Are you in sympathy with the Prohibition party method of disposing of the traffic?" Ans. "Let all temperance men hold together, and if either party put up a rum man, all go on the other side." 5 h. "Do you think it is right for a Christian to identify himself with any political party that is not in uncom promising hostility to the saloon.-" Ans. "Go for the best men at all times." I have these answers in Mr. Moody's own handwriting and over his own sig nature, as before stated, under date of Oct. 25th, 1889. 'While his reply to questions four and five may not quite suit us all, still they show just where he stands on the subject. Geo. C. Terwilliger. AVayne, Neb., Nov. 2(, 1S89. The Lincoln W. C. T. U. enjoyed last wpek the services of Miss Jennie t, x, , . , . , , , . mith, National Superintendent of work for Railroad Men. She held a meeting among the employes of the railroads at noon, met with the union . ! in the afternoon, letting them feel the uplifting inlluence of her own rich spiritual experience, as she told of her years of helpless suffering with disease, and he marvellous healing, when in answer to prayer she was enabled to rise from her couch and walk, though for sixteen years she had not stood upon i her feet. Miss Smith has a pleasant, j wholsame apperance and a manner tree from cant, that at once inspires eonfi- deuce. She is very popular among rail road men. with whom she labors con stantly.

LIIV ItLlIU lH (Lllfl . 11I1W IV 111 ' for reform is in progress let all lovers of humanity join forces to secure victory. All reformers are but branches of one great army, and the thrill of sympathy and the substantial aid should go forth i to those who are in the thick of the light, whether they be on the right, left or center. The New Kepublic announces that it is not the president of the Senate this time, but our Senator Paddock who has opened a new hotel with a saloon in it running at full blast. The hotel is located at Beatrice, and Editor Hardy seems to intimate that the papers that hav e been whitewashing the vice-President's record may have an unlimited supply of that kind of work to do, and it is well to give them practice. Seyen-tenths-of the crimes of this coun try are traceable to the liquor traffic; shall this deluge of crime continue, or will law-abiding citizens as soon as op portunity offers vote to prohibit the importation, manufacture and sale of the liquor which causes it? A nation's honor does not consist in "far Hashing lances, trumpets courage ous of sound, galloping squadrons, or rocking armadas,1' but righteous laws administered within her borders, black, white, red, or yellowy; 'and christain dealing with other and; feaker nations. Selected. ENCOURAGING TO MOTHERS. The following is from the venerable Professor Clark, who wrote the famous Grammar. He gave a brief address be fore the Monroe county. New York, W. C. T. U. convention, in which he said: "My mother brought up her five boys in a tavern. Her husband would sell liquor, and while "customers' (and hard ones at that) were carousing in the bar room, she in the nursery pre'ached 'righteousness, temperance and judg ment to come.' One of her sons became a senator of the Empire state. She urged him to stand by his principles in his high station; he did so, and brought in the Clark Bill similar in its provisions to the Maine law. It was adopted, but Govenor Seymour vetoed it. My broth er was then made candidate for gov ernor to beat Seymour, and he did it. My mother's boys weie staunch for temperance. Do not be discouraged, women of Monroe; your boys will help you to free America from the drink bondage; the day is not far off." Union Signal. . A NEW PREMIUM. LOOKING BACKWARD. We have made arrangements to fur nish our patrons with that wonderful book of Edward, Bellamy, Looking Backward, as a premium.
