Many have criticised Bishop Potter's address at Harvard because it sounded a note of warning. There is a class its antitype that gathering in "Belgium's capital" whose orators, closing their eyes and stopping their ears to all that warns of danger to their country, charm and tickle the self-approbation of their hearers by graphic pictures of our won derful growth as a nation, and arouse their enthusiasm by painting, in glow ing terms, a second century of greater prosperity and grandeur. With appe tites whetted with such self-laudation, many of our citizens, especially those whom happy fortune has born on the wave of prosperity, object to hearing any calm, philosophical analysis of the situation, any attempt to lav bare the forces which are working a change in this republic, and subverting the condi tion of equality and fraternity in which it was founded. Whoever has courage to point out the dangers that threaten us is a pessimist. "On with the dance." Still we bid them speak and repeat their words, if mayhap some of the careless ones may be made to pause, to listen, and to think. "A portion of our contemporaries ot the press, who have commented upon recent public addresses, are disturbed by the address of Bishop Potter, be cause it cakes too gloomy a view of the condition of affairs. One of them in stances the Fourth of July oration of Mr. E. A. Pillsbury as an answer to, if not a refutation of, the bishop's posi tion. It is a most mistake and dan gerous view, however, to assume, as it is undertaken to do in this instance, that the people who warn of danger are prophets of evil to be deprecated, while those who prophesy smooth things are patriots to be praised. One of the worst possible signs of the times is not only that evil is being done, but that there are good men in the community who deprecate calling attention to the fact, ana who complain if specifications are made with regard to it. History teaches that it is this spirit which precedes the . downfall of nations." Boston Herald. Some of the thoughtful leaders in our national life took aa vantage of its great anniversary to tell the people, in plain language, of the perils whidh threaten the stability of our institutions. They should be heard. Bishop Huntington says : "Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and chil dren are not free in any true American sense of the word freeman. In factories, in mines, in shops, in the great indus tries, in the controlled, terrorized bal lot, they are in an actual and unright eous slavery. Class is enslaved by class, and the American intelligence and education have informed the suffer ers of their servitude. Is it not obvious how the annual festival ought to be used by orators, by statesmen, by the press, for reconciliation, for justice, for industrial emancipation, for the break ing of yokes, and the easing of burdens, and the averting of the impending danger." The Independent, in which the abve and the following extracts from utter ances by men of national repute are found, comments editorially upon this: "No other article in the series which we publish has more deeply interested us than that by Bishop Huntington. He is an old man; he comes from con servative Boston; he is a bishop of the Protefant Episcopal Church; he is a a man of broad scholarship and the finest culture. If there is any man from whom a conservative view might have been ex- Sicted, it is Bishop Huntington. But ishop Huntington finds the great and op pressive lesson of the day in the social conflict which is arising ; between em ployers and employed, or between wealth hedged about by opportunities of combination and extortion and la bor limited, controlled, and oppressed. He believes that this is the day to E reach the doctrine that all men are orn free and equal, and that this equal ity is an equality of the poor as against the rich, of .liberty against social tyr anny, of deliverance from grasping mo- nopolasts. We call special attention to his solemn words. Our people are no more threatened by foreiimoppression, but these words deserve' to ne quotea in full: " 'They are threatened by a social tyranny growing up among ourselves. They are imperilled by enormous and unscrupulous accumulations of wealth. They are strangled by grasping monopo lies. They are crushed by a selfish, heartless, pitiless power, of money and the passion for money.' !A i i-U ..-.-.,1:3 rf XXrt Cassius M Clay, formerly minister to Russia.. "I have but one thought to present to your readers for' July 4th. We must declare anew our independence of corporations. The chief of these are the railroad corporations. They control now all the sources of political power, and are fast absorbing the. whole wealth of the people. All other trusts, com bines, and robberies are the off-shoots of the railroad system. (This is a signifi cant statement. It should be criven thoughtful consideration. It indicates where the first blow must be struck by the people in any attempt to wrest from the monopolists the unjust and perni cious power which they have assumed.) There must be a department of ways, etc. railroads, water-ways, etc. This head of commerce can kill all the crimi nal 'trusts' and swindles in the Union with a word. The greatest of all my thoughts the one thought is one which more than a million of times at my indi vidual expense has gone into print." "The railroads must be owned by the Government, valued and paid for at a fair price: it will be a great sum, but it is the price of liberty." Hon. Albion W. Tourgee very perti nently says: "The old Fourth of July celebration was based very largely on the universal sense of equality. Riches counted for but little in those days. Neighborship was a common bond. So cial circles met and overlapped without fear of , contamination and reproach. This condition affairs no more exists. Proximity has developed repulsion among the atoms of society. The city separates men, classes, households. Money outranks worth, merit, brain everything. Public displays have come to take on the chnracter of the amphi theatre they are 'shows for the people' instead of popular demonstrations." The Permanency of Farmers Mutuals. A subscriber whose faith in farmers' mutuals is, we fear, of the size but not the strength of a grain of mustard seed, sends us the following: Mr. Editor. As the Insurance andj lighten ing' rod venders have begun to put in their appearance, thinking to get a job, I want you to answer a few questions on the subject. Are the mutual insurance companies short lived and unsafe? Are many of the farmers leaving the mutuals and insuring in other companieu? In case of a thousand dollar loss would it cost the Members of the Madison County Mutual nine dollars each to pay said loss? Subscriber. So far from farmers' mutuals being short lived and temporary, they are among the most permanent and long lived institutions in the West. They increase in numbers and in financial strength as the seasons come, each re port of the auditor of state, where it is his duty to report, showing a gain in numbers and in the volume of business transacted. At the present rate of progress it will be bat a short time until nearly all the desirable risks of farm property in Iowa will be carried by the mutuals. ' No organization of any kind is secure against failure. In some cases farmers' mutuals have been badly managed. They have begun business without a sufficient number of risks in force, and under these circumstances a small loss has fallen heavily on the insured, and agents of stock companies have made the most of the dissatisfaction that has followed. In other cases the directors have been a disgrace to a stock com pany, and thus forfeited public confi dence. In other cases under the best of management there has, for a series of years, been heavy losses, and some of the farmers have been stampeded. In a few other cases the business has been conducted in defiance of all business principle, but, taking the entire amount of business transacted, there is no in surance safer, and none so cheap. If every doubter will send to the auditor of state, at Des Moines, Iowa, and pro cure the annual reports for two or three years, he can very easily inform himself and step the mouths of irre sponsible ascents of stock companies. We speak of Iowa because in that state the system is well developed, and relia ble statistics are given to the public each year. It is worthy of special note that the older mutuals in Iowa are nearly all the result of the liranee movement. The Grange taught the farmers how to organize, and organization for the pur pose of mutual insurance followed. Some of these early associations carry three or tour millions of risks in a sin gle county. They would no more think of going back to the old system than they would think of going back to the scythe or cradle in a hot day in harvest The more recent organizations are for the most part the outgrowth of the Farmers' Alliance. Many of these are quite young, commencing with but $100,000 in risks, and gradually increas ing and growing in the public confi dence. We cannot too strongly urge upon Alliances in every state the im portance of taking steps to save about half the expense of their insurance by In this connection we desire to speak a word for tornado insurance, lorna do insurance, to the stock companies, is nearly all profit. Tornados take a very narrow path. 11 one were to sweep through an entire state it could do com paratively little damage. We have had our buildings insured for three years in the Iowa lornado Mutual, and the en tire assessments have been but three dollars. It would have cost us at least thirty in a stock company. It would be entirely unsafe for a county mutual to take tornado risks, because, while there might not be any losses for many years, when it did come it would prove fatal. The true policy is to organize a state tornado mutual and have each secretary of the farmers' mutuals act as agent for the tornado mutual. In this way losses are widely distributed, and no man is required to pay more than he would gladly give as a charity to help an un fortunate brother. We cannot answer our correspond ent's question as to the sum each mem ber of the Madison county (Iowa) Mu tual would have to pay in case of a thousand-dollar loss, for the reason that we write this at the farm, and without access to the auditor's report. Assess ments are not made "per capita," but in proportion to the amount each mem ber has insured. If we had a policy in the Madison County Mutual, we would not lose any sleep over a loss of $1,000, or $5,000 for that matter. Homestead Alliance Sewing Machines.

Subscribe foj the Farmers' Alliance. Foreclosure. Kearney Courier. , "The foreclosure of mortgages has assumed such enormous proportions in the state of Kansas that the Farmers' Alliance has .petitioned the Judges to delay proceedings. And this in a state enjoying all the beauties of prohibition prosperity." The above is from the Grand Island Independent of yesterday, and exhibits the pure cussedness and ability of Mr. Hedde, it3 editor, to misconstrue and give out false impressions as to the true cause of the depression m Kansas, lhe facts are, that in 1887 and 1888 there was an almost total failure of crops in Kansas, and last year there was an abundant enm crop and a large yield of srhall zrain. but these crops brought nothing. This year their corn crop is a total failur in tnree-iourxns 01 me state, and foreclosures arc the result If Kansas had enjoyed the blessings of high license saloon system, together with her crop failures, she wouia nave but few free holders left, provided all her citizens had been saloon patrons. But Mr. Hedde need not go away from Nebraska for object lessons in regard to foreclosures. A large sausage iac torv recently removed from that illus trious saloon town, where they rotten egg prohibition speakers, Nebraska City, Neb., to Sioux City. Iowa, because in Nebraska City there was not enough support given it to live, presumaoiy, oe cause all the surplus cash went for whis kev. Iowa is a prohibition state. Nor is this all. In JNebrasfca tne corn crop is practically a failure, and our farmers are iu critical straights financially, and if they are pressed for payment for in terest on their loans, there will oe more foreclosures' in Nebraska during the next year than there has been during the past ten years put together. In fact, at least one -half the farmers from Grand Island to the Wyoming line, would lose their farms and their chat tels, if pressed to the wall for the pay ments of debts they owe. And all this has come to pass with bountiful har vests and the glories and beauties of high license, with which to enrich our state and educate our children. The republican party has been in the ascen dency during all the years Nebraska has been a state. We have just such "regulating" monopolies as the repub- iican parry nas given us, arm me sou, with God given rains and sunshine, gave to our farmers, for ten successive years, the most abundant crops, which were confiscated at their very doors by the transportation monopolies of the state and our nobly and truly Christian usurers, and to-day with the loss of a corn crop and no oats to speak of, half a wheat crop and no vegetables, our fanning "community find themselves without a dollar, and so much in debt, that they are at the mercy of the money lenders, and in consequence are de manding a stay law, or some other means 01 relief. With these tacts be fore us, it ill becomes a newspaper who has any sense of fairness or an ounce of brains, to publish such squibs, as the one above quoted. If the editor of the Independent wil wait a few weeks, he will hear as great a demand going up from Nebraska farmers for relief from robbery and op pression, as is now going up from Kan sas.

New YorJc World. Victor de Bules, said to be the son of a distinguished German count, was found dying in his room at a boarding house in Philadelphia. Medical aid was hastily summoned, but the man died soon after the arrival of a physician, who pronounced the case one of un doubted suicide. De Dules came to this country about ten years ago. He was an expert chemist, and until about two months ago, when he lost his posi tion, was employed oy a chemical firm here. He was about fortv vears nf ar handsome and of strikincr nerartnal an. pearance. A search of his clothing snowed mat at tne time 01 his death he had just one cent. New York World. .

One of the most startlinir and original works ever written. The author a man of wealth and high social position, and who writes under a nom de plume, presents, in a startlingly original and wonderfully fascinating work of fiction, a profound study of sciological condi tions, and he follows theae conditions out to what he believes will be their inevitable result. The events described in the story take place YorK uuy. xne plot Is diversified and full of human interest. Some of the chapters are equaled only by Victor Hugo in terseness and vividness of description. The effect of the book as a whole Is such that the reader will scarcely know in which character most to admire the gifted author whether as a novelist skillfully weaving a complicated plot Into a harmo nious story ; as a poet deftly touching the chords of the great heart of humanity; as a philosopher analyzing the errors and laying bare the evil tendencies of our age; as a prophet warning the race against the nri ulflahnMH whlnh trn Mtlnr iw thn fminliLtlnn nt nnirt-r or as a preacher teaching the broad principles wTe mo aun me gooa mu reaeem we The above book will be sent from this office at 50 eta.

There was a surplus of corn last year to have carried the farmers over another year. A great mistake was made fal lowing the corn to pass out of the farm er's hands and mostly out of the country A lesson should be learned by this ex perience, that farmers should never again sell corn for 10 and 15cts per bushel. Still we are not discouraged. Our Alliance is growing in interest and numbers. We have a membership of 46 made up from both the old parties. Our motto is "Equal rights before the law to all." We rejoice to see how the bid party lines are broken, and all work ing ha.moniously together. Our Alli ance with many others, attended a pic nic at Cambridge July 31st, and listen ed to an able address by Judge McKei- ghan, who spoke to an attentive au dience. We wish there were more such men as Judge McKeighan, and with such men in office, and John H. Powers as governor of the state of Nebraska, we as tarmers would feel safe.
