Whereas, We believe transportation rates to be quadruple what they ought to be, and that the rate of interest charged by the money loaners is usur ious, and Whereas, the existing laws either in their form or in their execution have failed in the past to redress any of these grievances or grant relief; therefore be it Resolved, That we the Phelps County Alliance request our State Alliance or the members of the executive board to devise some means whereby the Subor dinate Alliances may put their forces to work so as to elect executive officers and members of the legislature from the farming class and from among those whose antecedents show them to be in entire sympathy with farming in terests. That we are in favor of government ownership of railroads operated at cost of operating. That we are in favor of a full legal tender paper currency issued direct to the people on lauded security at one per cent per annum. That we favor a reduction of taxes to reduce the surplus in the county, state and national treasury, instead of by reckless and extravagant appropria tions, as is being done by the present law makers. That we, the farmers of Phelps Co. Alliance, will not support a man for otlice who in our judgment does not favor a radical reduction in transporta tion rates, interest on money, salaries of officers, and economy in expenditure of the public mone'. That we, the farmers of Phelps coun ty, are in favor of reforming the pres ent obnoxious, unequal and unjust sys tem of tariff laws. That we are in favor of abolishing the present state board of transportation. That in our belief the farmers of this state, who are the majority, will never be fairly represented in our govern ment until the offices of governor and congressman be tilled by men elected from among themselves. The Work in Polk Co. Osceola, Neb., Mar. 25, 1890. Editor Alliance: It was decided at our last meeting to hold an open meet ing of the next county Alliance, to which every one interested in the farmers' movement, especially ladies, was invited. In the meantime, the committee on ar rangements had secured the services of Prof. 1J. F. Pratt and wife of Clarks, It jerrick Co. Each delivered such an address in behalf of the farmers and their work as had not been listened to for many a day. Had we more such workers in the farmers' cause the time when the money power ceased to con trol the legislature would indeed be short. Sister Pratt, formerly Miss Julia Gar-r-etsou, in the days of the granger was lecturer for the State Grange of Iowa and Ohio. She traveled in the interest of that order through almost every coun ty in those states. Since the Grange has passed away her labors have been coniined to the farm. But now that the Alliance has arisen to take the place of the Grange she has again enlisted in this great reform movement. The court house was filled to over (lowing, with a large attendance of la dies from all portions of the country. I am glad that the women of Nebraska are gitting interested in this great work. The time has come when we must lay aside all party affiliations, and work and vote for jour own interests. The old parties that control our nation to day are ouy shadows of their former selves. It is as sister Pratt said, "The farmers must organise, must cling together like a baud of brothers; must educate; must vote to their own interest, else they are lost." The farmers of Polk county are begin ning to feel their need of a Savior, and are coming manfully to the rescue. This fall there will be such a change in lolities as will astonish the old line of politicians. C. D. Stonee, Sec. Co. Alliance. Resolutions From Star Alliance, No. 109.5. Resolved, That in our judgment the time has come to the farmers of Ne braska for an immediate, decided and letermined effort to secure lower rail road freight rates for our produce, and that to this end we will from time to time both as members of the Farmers' Alliance and as individuals, by petitions and private letter urge our state officials especially our railroad commissioners to secure a reasonable reduction in freight rates. Resolved, That we hereby give notice that we will not support any man to rep resent us in the legislature who does not only pledge himself to favor such legis lation and only such,by speech and vote as will secure for us reasonable freight rates, and whose antecedents prove him both strong and honest enough to carry out such a pledge; and further Resolved, That the secretary send a copy of these resolutions to The Alli ance for publication, also to the com missioners and to the governor. W. C. Sawyer, Sec. Meeting of Cass County Alliance. Editor Alliance: The Cass County Farmers' Alliance held its fifteenth quarterly session at Mauley, March 22, 1890. Alliatices were well represented and reports encouraging. Large acces sions have been made and all are in good working order. Resolutions were adopted condemnatory of the state board of transportation and in com mendation of Attorney-General Leese; also against extending time of payment to the government of the indebtedness of the Union Pacific railroad. Short addresses right to the point were made ly J. Clarke, D. D. Andrus, J. Chap man, H. Strickland, D. S. Halverstadt, a,. e. uiibert and others. Avery profit aDie ana interesting session was en- ioved and all went awav full of hone and courage, determined in all things to stand together until the great prin ciples oi the Alliance shall triumph. B. F. Allen, Secretary. Resolutions of Crounse Alliance. Crounse, Neb., March, 24, 1890. At a regular meeting of the Crounce Alliance, Saturday evening, March 22, the following report of the committee on resolutions was accepted by a unan imous vote: Inasmuch as the present freight rates of 20 cts per cwt. on corn from Lincoln to Chicago is in excess of the rate chanred previous to the interstate law. and while the rebate system was in in vogue; said rates being about double that between Chicago and New York for like distance, and all this notwith standing that the amount to be carried is much greater than when the rate was less; therefore Resolved, That Alliance No. 1010, of Crounse, Lancaster county, Nebraska, regards the action of our board of transportation in accepting a ten per cent reduction on freight rates as un satisfactory, unwise, impolite; and while seemingly an effort on their part in the interest of the people, is in reali ty of no benefit and is liable to be looked upon as a mere move on the po litical chess board, and as such merits our contempt. Resolved, That we commend the un tiring efforts of Attorney-General Leese to procure Iowa rates for the cit izens of Nebraska, and that we con demn the cowardly evasion of the ma jority of said board whereby said ef forts are defeated. II. M. Reeves, President. E. W. Pinklev, Secretary. An Open Letter From Hamilton County. If. S. Garber, Secretary State Board of Transportation, Lincoln, Xeb. Dear Sir: We would say in answer to your letter replying to the resolu tions passed by the Hamilton County Alliance on Feb. 8th, that we are aware of the fact that the state board of trans portation cannot control freight rates beyond the state line, but they have control of the local rates of freight in the state; and if they were to demand a reasonable reduction from the existing rates to Chicago, of at least 10 cents per hundred pounds, and an equal reduc tion to other points, and the It. It. Cos. would refuse to grant these requests, the state board could use extreme measures to compel them to comply with their request. In your letter you state plainly that it is the sworn duty of the board to fix rates on a reasonable basis; why do they not do it? Why do they not estimate the value of the railroads and compel the lines to at least charge no more than the Iowa tariff on local rates. We do not think that our Alliance has any apologies to make; we think this letter states plainly what we want, and Ave insist that you demand a re duction of not less than 10 cents per hundred pounds based on the existing rates to Chicago, and if not complied with, that you immediately take, action on local rates, etc. Yours respectfully, M. II. Severy, Valentine Horn, Secretary. President. Words of Cheer From Vice-Pres. Horn; Phillips, Neb., March 23, 1890. Mr. Editor: As I have been work ing in the interest of the Alliance since it was first organized and feel very much interested in the work, thought I would write and let you know how it is thriving in this vicinity. We are do ing most all the shipping in this dis trict, and are ordering a great many supplies, principally groceries, from headquarters. We hava no elevator here yet, but are managing very nicely until we get a better start. I have traveled in quite a number of counties organizing and visiting Alliances, and found all that were organized in good running order, and all seem to be work ing in earnest. A great many have asked me where they would get their farming imple ments, and the general agent's name; so will you please have the full particu lars published in next week's paper if convenient. I take your paper and think every farmer should, as it is a great helper in building up and pushing this work for ward. I trust the farmers will continue to work with zeal, united heart and hand, and the time will soon be here when the farmers will not be the down trodden, but will be equal to all classes ot industry throughout this nation. Yours fraternally, V. Horn. Grand Meeting in Saunders County. The Saunders County Alliance met at Wahoo, March 15th. Twenty-fire Alli ances were represented by 100 delegates. There was a very enthusiastic feeling among all the members to advance the cause of the Alliance. Considerable time was devoted to discussing the lo cal questions with the best of feeling. Our organizations are being severely felt by home combinations which will result in benefit to all members and la boring men of our county. In the af ternoon and evening Hon. Trevilhck addressed an audience of about 700 armers and labores. He spoke for bur hours and told us more about the Alliance than a few of us knew. We would reccomend him to any County Alliance that is in need of light. W. O. Kand, becy. Go. Alliance. Brother Higgins of Furnas County Sends Cheering Words. Cambridge, Neb., March 28, 1890. Editor Alliance : The good work is going grandly on in Furnas county; we are thoroughly organized, and the farmers seem resolute and determined. From all indications we will break the charm, and for once be represented in the legislature instead of being a corpo rate tool there as heretofore. We in close you a copy of resolutions adopted by our Alliance that you may see that we are alive, but not for publication as it is usually the best time to catch a thief when it is dark. Will report pro gress in the future. Strike boldly and fearlessly for the right. We are with you through it all. itespectiuny yours, Jonathan Higgins. Beet Seed for Distribution. LincolnMarch 28, 1890. J. Burrows Esq., Editor Farmers' Alliance. Dear Sir: I shall have in a few days sugar beet seed for distribution accom panied with instructions for planting the same. It is intended that this dis tribution shall reach only those persons interested in that culture, and who when the beets are harvested will send samples to this office for analysis, and receive in return a certificate of the re sults. Applications made to this office will be attended to. Yours respectfully, John Jenkins. Otoe Co. Alliance.

Upton, 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. Prohibition in The Pulpit. The "watchmen on the walls" of the modern zion, or in other words, the min isters are waking up to the contest com ing on in our state beween the saloon power and those who desire to see the saloon outlawed. On Sunday, March 23d, several ser mons on the subject of prohibition were delivered in Lincoln.' Chancellor Creigh ton spoke on the subject in East Lincoln to a large and interested audience. At Grace M. E. church, on the same even ing Presiding Elder Miller gave a forci ble sermon on the same subject, and Rev. Stein of the St. Paul M. E. church gave one of the series of six sermons in which he has discussed the subject ex haustively. Rev. Bradt of the 2d Presbyterian church has also been treating the ques tion in his pulpit. All these pastors, we are informed, have had large and sym pathetic audiences and have given no uncertain sound concerning the duty of christian men at this time in regard to the liquor crime. As no organization is so wide-spread, or has the ear of the people like the church, it means much for the prohibi tion cause, that the church is thus alive to the duty of the hour. Radical reformers have been thunder ing in the ears of the church that it must take its stand for prohibition, and to day the church realizes that it must "do or die." With all the activity of evangelists, endeavor societies ami Sabbath schools, the fact is notorious that the saloon is destroying men faster than all these agencies can save them, and the wise ones have concluded that christian poli tics is one of the crying needs of the hour, that christian sentiment on this subject needs to be crystallized into forms of law. The thirty-eight saloons of Lincoln, stand with open doors at all hours of the day and much of the night, are far too powerful opponents of purity, tem perance and Godliness for any church to be mitral in regard to them. We have a right to expect this action of the church, yet it is a matter of rejoicing that it is thus meeting expectation. Since the Chancellor of the Wesleyan University, the presiding elder of the district, and the pastor of one of the largest churches in the state have taken such an uncompromising stand for the prohibitory amendment we may reason ably expect from every A'illage and school house where people meet to wor ship God throughout this state, shall be heard from the sacred desk truths drawn from texts like these: "Woe to him that buildeth a town of blood, and es tablisheth a city by iniquity." "Woe unto them which justify the wicked for a reward." And behind the pulpits stand a multitude of devout souls whose feeling and language Isaiah thus expresses: Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgression. What the Prohibitory Amendment Means. The State Commitee calls attention to the two amendments to our state constitution that are to be voted on the 4th day of November next. The Prohibitory Amendment provides as follows, viz: 'The manufacture, sale and keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage are forever prohibited in this state, and the Legislature shall provide by laic for the en forcement of this provision. " The license Amendment provides as follows, viz: ''The manufacture, sale and keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage shall be licensed and regulated by lair. " To carry either of these Amendments requires a majority of all the votes cast at said election. " That is if there are two hundred thousand votes cast in this state next fall, it will take one hundred thousand and one votes to carry either amendment. A governor may be elect ed by plurality of votes, but the amend ment can be carried only by a majority of all the votes cast. Attention is also called to the License Amendment as a mandatqry provision, and if carried will repeal the Slocumb law with its high license and local op tion features, and enable the traffic to open a saloon in every town in the state. It cau do this though the sentiment and vote of the town be unqualifiedly and unanimously against the saloon, and when that saloon is established it may not be required to pay a license of over $100 or even less. In fact the Legislature would not have the right to fix a license fee that would be prohibitory in its character, for that would conflict with the constitutional provision. Let the voters of Nebraska ponder these truths and be ready to des troy the legal power of the saloons by absolute prohibition. C. E. Bentley. Ch'n. The State Teacher's Association which met in Lincoln last week was a very successful and profitable meeting. They passed a resolution declaring that they favored the pending prohibitory amend ment, and believed its passage would favorably effect the edcational interests of the state. The "Fox" Scale.

Burrows, Esq.,Editor of the Farmers' Alliance, Lincoln, reb. Mr Dear Sir: I have neglected ac knowledging your recent favors in refer ence to the petitions that l have reciev ed from time to time. I have up to date recieved 158 petitions from the Farmers' Alliances and citizens of the state of Ne braska, and shall give attention to any others that may be sent me. Yours Truly, Jno. A. Anderson. From Merrick Co. Clarks, Neb., March 29, 1890. Editor Alliance: The members of Pleasant Hill Alliance, No. 636 are awakening to the subject of their inter ests. They are all aware that they must do something for themselves or be crowded to the walls by monopolies and trusts and bankers. We have resolved to support no man for office but farmers. I am also a read er of your valuable paper, and hope that the good work will go on. Resp. Yours, - J. W. LUMADUE. Meeting of Saunders County Alliance. Saunders County Alliance will con vene at court bouse in Wahoo, Satur day, April 19th, 10 a. m. A full repre sentation from all subordinate Alliances is requested. Prominent speakers are expected. W. O. Rand, S. II. Moss, Pres. Secy. The Work in Colorado. We haverecievedan interesting letter from our old friend Hon.P. B. Reynolds of Holyoke, Col., formerly of Aurora in this state. Bro. Reynolds informs us that "the Alliance is on a big boom" in his vicinity, and he applies to our State Agency for assistance in the way of trade in implements, etc. We copy the following from the correspondence of the Holyoke Herald, writen by Mrs. Rey nolds, which shows that she is,as bf old, on the side of the farmer in his struggle; We respectfully beg1 leave to differ from the Herald regarding1 the true objects and aims of the Farmers' Alliance, having- seen in other states to much of its workings and practical advantage to the tiller of the soil. While it may be true that some connected with the or ganization were more imbued with the ambi tion for official preferment than a fraternal sympathy with the misfortunes of oibers.and what Order is free from these ambitious bar nacles, yet we can see no impropriety in agri culturalists banding together for mutual pro tection, such as exists in nearly all other branches of labor and trade. And we believe the records prove that this organization,whose cardinal tenets require non-interference with politics or religion, is doing more to-day in the way of demanding equitable rates on all our railroads, discountenancing combines and trusts, exposing swindling schemes.and many other impositions upon a long suffering public, than any other extant, and should recieve the hearty encouragement of all lovers of fair dealing among men. L. M. It. Extract of Miss Willard's "Glimpse of Fifty Years." We give the following extract from the above delightful book. It will be seen that the style is pure as well as sprightly and vivacious. It is one of the most readable household books issued for many years. H. J. Smith & Co., Chicago, publishers: That summer we had a new girl, Margaret Ryan by name, for Bridget wanted rest. She was but eighteen years old, and great company for Mary and me. She was true and kind, very intelligent, and we became very much attached to her, gave her piano lessons, read aloud to her while she was at her work, and never learned anything from her that was not good. So our memories of "Margie" were always pleasant. Mother was so considerate of her helpers that she sel dom changed, but in our twelve years on the farm we had perhaps thirty or more men and women with us at differ ent times. Some from Ireland, others from England, and a few from America, while of Germans and Norwegians there was a large representation. But of Catholic or Protestant, Lutheran or Me thodist, we found good hearts in all, and made common cause with every one, teaching them English, giving them writing lessons, and never recieving anything but loyalty and kindness in re turn. If the foreign population of this country was properly represnted at For est Home, it is neither drunken, im moral nor irreligious, but warmly re-! sponds to every helpful word and deed, and can be Americanized if Americans ! will but be true to themselves and these new friends. In the loneliness of mother's absence I began to write more than ever, though I had kept a journal since I was twelve years old. Climbing to my high perch in the old oak tree I would write down the day's proceedings, scribble sketches and verses, and I even began a novel entitled "Rupert Melville and his Com rades: A storyoof Adventure." Mary, too, kept a journal, and competed for a prize in the "Children's Column" in the Prairie Farmer. I tried for the premium offered for the best poem at the county Fair, but it was won by Mrs. E. S. Kel- log, the Janesville poet, lhis did not, however, discourage me at all; I wrote all the harder, took my essays to Mrs. Hodsre, who had fine taste and was an uncommonly good writer nerseii. ana made up my mind that "write I could and should and would." My novel was a standing joke in the family. I worked at it "off and on,"but chiefly the former. I had so many char acters that Oliver said "for the life of him he didn't see how I expected to get them all decently killed off inside of a thousand pages." Every day when my resrular chores about the house were done, which took only an hour or two, I got at work and insisted on doing at least one page, from Avhich it is plain that I had no great inspiration in my undertaking. Perhaps no body appre ciated it more than Lizzie Howley, a bright young dressmaker from Janes ville. to whom I was wont to read each chanter aloud, as fast as it was written. Sometimes since.I have wondered if the main reason why Lizzie listened so duti fully was not that she had no choice in the matter; there was the reader and h ere was the story, and the busy needle woman could not tret away. Perhaps father's fitting us out with huntinar implements during mother's ab sence had something to do with the writ ing of this story. It is more likely how- ever, that the lrrepressioie spirit oi nis two daughters drove him to allowing them to hunt.for we seemetl to have tie veloned a passion in that direction stronger than ever before, about those davs. Especially was this true of me. I had got hold ot a story dook, l lie Prairie Bird," another called "Wild Western Scenes." and a third, "The Green-Mountain Boys," and secretly de voured all three without leave or license They had produced on my imagination the same eitect they wouiu upon a Doy s. Above all things in earth or sky I yant rl tn be. and meant to be a miffhtv hunter. The country I loved, and the town I hated, and would one of it Fort City" and all its belongings were no longer to be thought oi as an aue quate "sphere." GEO. A- BELL. C. W. MCCOY. T. C. SHELLY. S.
