    T1IE FAHMERS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., SATURDAY JAN. 24, 1891.
J35T The Journal beads an editorial
with the query. "What is Cheap?"
Well we should say a combine of the
republican party to make so poor a
democrat as J. E. Boyd gorernar was
decidedly cheap.
GPThe country exchanges are full of
poetry about the present legislature.
The subject Is a good one, but iike all
country newspaper poetry the rhymes
are very wearisome.
y The Kentucky State Union has
recently made some valuable improve
ments, and promises more in the near
future, It is a live paper.
y The Lincoln Herald has removed
to 1020 P street, J. D. Calheun and L.
D. Woodruff having formed a partner
ship ia the printing business. , The
Herald is as bright as ever. It seems to
be getting dangerously near to the
Daily Call. . '"' -
tip A woman came to the rescue
and saved the farmers from being plun
dered by one of the greatest trusts of
the country. Mrs. McCormick refused
to go in the great implement combine.
HTWe invite attention to the adver
tisement of Wm. Messman, offering seed
or feed corn. Also to letter from Jas.
Raynard, asking for such goods on time.
All such parties should get together.
Who has Grain to Sell to our Western
- Brothers on Time?
Bekklehan. Neb., Jan. 16, 1801.
J. M. Thompson Sir: Our Alliance
neoDle out here will greatly be in need
of seed and feed this spring such as
corn, oats, potatoes, barley, and sor
ghum seed, and I was instructed by our
Alliance, No. 1710, to make inquiries
through you to get into correspondence
with Alliances in parts of the state
where thev raised a crop, in order to
find whether or not we could buy the
grain on time say nino months giving
good security for the same.
Unless we get some such help very
many will be unable to put out much of
a crop in the spring. If you can put us
on the track, or seud me the address of
secretaries of Alliances where crops
were good it would greatly oblige us
Anvthing that you can do in the matter
will be greatly appreciated by your
brotners in neea. rieaso repiy.

Whereat. One. J.-H. Craddock has
been trying to impress on the minds of
the public and also the members of the
present legislature that he is a member
ol carpenters union JN o. 148 ana is there

union, and
Whereas. The said J. H. Craddock is

of said local union .No. 148 ol carpenters
and joiners of America for the last three
years and therefore is not and never was

GOOD WORDS FOR MR. POWERS
FROM COLORADO.
We give the following extract from a
private letter from. Hon. C. H. Made
ley of Yuma, Col., formerly of Adams
county, Nebraska. Those of us who
were in the anti-monopoly fight of 1883
will remember Mr. Madeley as one of
our best, and as candidate for a state
office on the ticket nominated at Hast
ings:
Yoma, Col., Jan. 16.
J. Burrows, Lincoln, Neb.: Till I
went to Nebraska I was not aware that
your man for governor was my old
friend, John Powers. Hailing from
another county than Adams wnere
knew him for live or six years, misled
me. To me this gives an added interest
in your struggle, for I knew Mr. Pow
ers well, as a good farmer, an intelli
gent, honest, upright man, and better
than all, as an earnest, consistent Chris
tian. I am sure he would have made
you an excellent governor, and my
nope is that he may yet take the reins
which I believe he is - fairly entitled to
hold. Pray give him my kindest re
gards, and my best wishes for his ult'
mate success. And you, my friend, I
am heartily glad to know that you are
so ably helping along the good work.
May God bless you in it, and all others
who honestly try to aid in righting
wrongs.
The Clear Creek correspondent to the
Osceola Record gives the following ac
count of an open Alliance meeting,
which signifies that the "fool farmers-'
are not so dangerously prone to be "ig
norant" as some of the wondrously
wise campaigners who stump and write
for the old parties would have us be
lieve: "The open Alliance in district
No. f2 convened at a late hour Monday
evening with a full house. Although it
was uncomfortably warm, everybody
seemed to enjoy the entertainment. The
Tableland string band, headed by Prof.
McPeak was an enjoyable part of the
exercises, also a few well-chosen re
marks by the Hon. George Horstwere
of interest and which any of us might
be well profited by. The Valley string
band put in some good work. Mr. C.
C. Stull's solo, guitar accompaniment
was well received. Mr. N. Mackin then
gave us some of the objects "of the Alli
ance. Mr. Johnson's German song was
quite amusing. The rest of the pro
gram was reasonably good."
tJT" " James, the pretender," is the
way one exchange puts it.
MISTAKES OF HOWE.
The wail of disappointment, chagrin,
humiliation and despair nttered by
John D. Howe in the World-Herald and
copied by its ally, the Bee, has rarely
been surpassed.
He waileth four great wails over mis
takes made bynhe Independents.
He waileth first that the Independ
ents have not iaken Howe's advice, but
have ignored a man with such a record,
a democrat and an attorney, too a
man good enough to wail even over the
mistakes of his adversaries against
whom he is retained as a lawyer and has
a fee to take the advantage of.
He waileth secondly because the In
dependents, he says, have among their
assets a "corpse." He calls it a pro
hibition corpse. He thinks that war
rents a first-class wail. John here
would create a case ot ' mistaken
identity. He knows that the remains
are a democratic-republican "cadaver"
that the eighty two thousand lively pro
hibitionists brought in. The defunct got
his quietus on Nov. 4th in Omaha.
Tne Independents were not in the
melee. They are just bound to give a
decent burial.
Go around on the other side of John
and hear his wail No. 4,' and see that
tear bedewed eye. It unmistakably
rests on democratic remains. No such
gush as that could be brought from' the
stony heart of a railroad lawyer icith a
fee by a view of cold "water remains."
He waileth thirdly
For Omaha for her humiliation and
disgrace. Correct everybody should
do so when their friends are caught and
convicted.
.He waileth fourthly
Deep and long for his beloved
client. This seems right. When
a lawyer has had his fee and
cannot do anything for his client he is a
very contemptible lawyer if he don't
"wail."
We- think Mr. Howe has done well
for his clients.
He has pointed out the mistakes of
his clients' .opponents instead of taking
advantage of them.
He cussed the court in advance of the
verdict.
He has confessed bis client' has no
case by publicly bewailing his defeat
and damning everybody for it before
the trial.
The National Farmers' Alliance.
Ed. Alliance: The National Farm
ers' Alliance will hold its eleventh an
nual convention at Omaha, Neb., on
Tuesday, January 27, 1891, and will
consist of representatives from the sev
eral states organized under the au
pices of the National Farmers' Alliance.
The occasion will certainly be one of
profound interest, and the deliberations
of the convention will undoubtedly be
attended with important results. Not
only is the condition of the National
Alliance and its constituent state or
ganizations more healthy and harmo
nious than any previous year, and its
membership more actively alert and
intelligently interested in the work
than ever before, but the necessity for
agricultural organization in order that
united effort may resist . unjust . en
croachments, and correct economic
wrongs which have hitherto unduly
burdened the farmer, is becoming more
and more generally recognized, both by
the farmers themselves ana tne public
at large engaged in other pursuits.
This general recognition of the ne
cessity for some organization has led to
a comparison by the farmers and the
public, of the National Farmers' Alli
ance with other organizations having
the same general purpose, namely, the
advancement of agricultural interests
and the improvement of the condition,
socially, politically, and economically,
of those engaged in agriculture. The
National Alliance has not suffered by
the comparison. Its members in local,
county, state and National Alliances
assembled have, as a rule, counselled
wisely together; they have engaged iu
diligent educational study of questions
before formulating demands respecting
them; while firmly insisting upon'their
own rights as fast as they clearly saw
them, they have carefully avoided en
croachments upon the rights of others;
they have made great permanent gains
in the direction of securing conditions
more nearly in consonance with justice
to the farmer, and in doing this have
been careful to fortify themselves by
such intelligent study of the principles
contended lor as would secure convic
tion on the part of the public that they
were right. Not only have the points
thus gained been substantial and per
manent gains, not requiring to be con
tended for again and again year after
year, but they have established a pre
sumption in the minds of the public
that the things which the Nationa
Farmers' Alliance shall hereafter de
mand will be right. The moral vantage
ground thus secured can not be too
highly estimated. It enables us to ap
proach our fellow citizens in other
walks nf life with the presumption in
our favor with regard to the demands
we make. The non partisan methods
which our fundamental law prescribe
have impressed the public with the be
lief that we have been actuated by a de
sire for justice and the establishment of
right economic conditions and not by a
desire for justice and the establishment
of that party or to become a political
party ourselves. . All these consider
ations have gained for the National
.farmers' Alliance a degree or puonc
confidence which is as gratifying and
as helpful for every just purpose we
entertain as it is merited.
It is under these auspicious circum
stances that the National Farmers'
Alliance approaches its llth'annualcon
vention. That the session will be more
than ordinarily interesting does not ad
mil of a doubt, and that important re
suits will fljw from the meeting seems
clear. August Post, becy.

JERRY'S CHOCOLATE CAKE.

"When I am a man," d Jerry WhiU
amore. searching bis plate earnestly
for crumbs of his vanished cako
"when I am a man I am goinj to have
a whole chocolate cake to myself a
whole, big, round chocolate cake
mother; I am. Indeed: and nobody
hall hare a bit of it. I would like to
see bow it feels to eat a whole cake by
myself
"You need not wait till you are a
roan," said his mother; "I will make
you one to-morrow."
"Will yon really, mother, all to my
self?" "Yes on one condition, that you
will not give any one a bite while it
lasts."
"Ho! I caa easily promiso you that
for I don't want anybody to help me
at it, I can tell you."
Mrs. Whitamore sighed a little, and
wondered if Jerry was as selfish a lit
tie boy as he thought he was; but she
made him the cske. As soon as the
icing was firm, Jerry cut a big slice
for himself and sat down on the kitchen
top to eat it. His little brother, Rob
eaiuo and stood in front of him, with
his hands behind his back.
"Wis' I had some piece," said Rob,
looking at Jerry.
"Mother." said Jerry, "can't I give
RobapieoeP" ' v -
"Certainly not,? answered his moth
er. "Go away then, Rob, and don't
watch me eat it," begged Jerry. But
no there stood the little man eyeing
the cake until it was gone, while two
big tears, rolled down his cheeks.
"That piece didn't taste good one
bit," said Jerry to himself. ' I won't
eat any more when Rob is around."
The next time Jerry took a piece he
lipped out the door to hide himself in
the wood-shed. Bounce, -the little
black-and-tan terrior, thinking he was
going out to play, slipped out after
Kim, but just before the couple got out
of sight the mother called, "Jerry, re
member not to give Bouuce any cake."
"Oh, ain't that a pity?" said Jerry to
Bounce, and then he began to eat his
cuke, with Bounce begging for every
bite. It was worso than Rob. because
be could not explain anything to dog
gie. "There! that's two plecos of cake
spoiled for me," grumbled Jerry.
"Eat in' a whole cake ain't half as much
fun as it's cracked up to be."
When the tea-bell rang Jerry was
as ready for bread and butter and
milk as if he bad not tasted anything
for twelve hours; and there on his up
turned plate was a half of what the
Whitamore children called a "snow
ball." It was a white cake, white In
side with crumbs and citron, and round
and white outside with pnrtioular su
gar icing. Nobody made lust those
cakes except Aunt Martha Mason.
"That cake was sent to Rob. Jerry,"
aid his mother, "and of his own ac
cord he asked me to save you a piece."
When lo! to everybody's surprise, big,
boyiug Jerry burst out crying.
"I bate chocolate cako, mother." he
aid, ' i never want to see another
piece as long as I live."
So mother Whitamoro know that
Jerry bad learned his lesson. She did
not believe he would erer again think
anything sweeter that he kept to him
self. "Suppose we bring out your eake
and eat it for supper? ' she said to her
little boy.
Jeri's face cleared up all in a niin

'O mother," he said, "that would
be so nice."

One Man's Pood Another's Poison.
Exceedingly common is the notion
that length of life is controlled by
habits, and that a careful observance
of what are called good habits must
necessarily insure to every one long
evity. Indeed, some seem to tninK
that such self-denying persons ought
never to sicken and die.
It was my fortune, many years ago,
to know a man who held to this idea
and who carried out to the full such a
course of life with more than ordinary
consistency and intelligence. His in
come enabled nini to completely
realize his idjal. He trained bis body
carefully and regularly; he had no
"small vices" nor great ones; he ate
the plainest food, but it was always of
the best, well prepared and abundant.
Not one of thoso habits which are es
teemed good was neglected, and those
whioh are called bad were shunned
with abhorrence. He boasted that he
was never sick, and that he would live
to celebrate his one-hundredth birth
day. He had a neighbor of the most
self-indulgent kind. He also was a man
of wealth, who took no exercise beyond
an occasional pleasure drive, who uni
formly ate a hot and rich supper at iu
o'clock at night, and of whom it was
asserted that, though never druuk, ho
was rarely, if ever, perfectly sober.
The former of these gentlemeu died at
64. the latter at 68. Of the heredity o.'
either I have no knowledge.
Fancy Cabinet Woods.
Of the woods that are chiefly used in
fancy cabinet work, ebonv comes
mostly from Ceylon and Madagascar,
and is sold by importers at 8 cents per
pound. Satin wood is grown on the
island of San Domingo and in Porto
Rico. It is one of the beautiful woods,
and is described as a "canary yellow."
In the log it soils at 75 cents per foot.
Tulip wood is but littlp used. It is
imported more for turning and Inlay
ing than anything else, it is found in
Central America, anil when brought
to New York sells for 8 cents a pound.
Names of Atlantic Steamers.
The names of all the White Star
steamers end with "ie." those of the
Cunaitiers with "m," thoso of the Ger
man mostly with "I it nd," and thoso of
the Dutch always with "dam."

A MAN WHO- OIOST STRIKE.
laty Tr IvIiiIihm - the Cvktral
Ua One lad Tw lUglroaals.
Down st Slnyveoant, on the Central
Hudson Road, there is stationed
switchmen who has been at his post
ever since the first traiu passed over
the rails, and had been In the com
pany's employ . before that, . almost
from the day when the first tie was
laid and the first spike was driren.
This man did sot strike when Lee's
order went over the wires on the even
ing of Aug. 8. He is not made of that
sort of stuff of which they are made
that blindly follow the berk and call
of an autorratio leader. Old Patrick.
Sweeny remained at the pest which he
lias faithfully guarded for nearly sixty
years now.
Although he is slightly illiterate his
mental jxwera have a natural vigor
that is remarkable. Once the com
pany issued au order directing thatsll
switchmen who could not read or write
were to quit its service. Pat got a boy
in his shunly to teach him how to read
the numbers of the engines so be could
report the time and number of trains
that passed his flag shnnty erery day.
The old man had apparently passed
the age when the mind can yet be
turned back and made to grasp what
it has outgrown, for he discharged the
boy, but his ear was still keen. In less
thau a month be had learned the num
ber of every engine on the road by the
sound of iu bell, and never made
single error in his reports. This is
vouched for by people who havo known
Sweeny half a century.
He does not known what fear is. and
story is told how ho once defied two
regiments of soldier because he knew
what bis dutv was and they did not
It wtfs In April, 1862. during war
tunes. Sweeny was at bis post on the
road, which was then double-tracked
north of Stuyrcsant, but had but one
track between that town and New
York. Fifteen car-loads of soldiers on
a special train, bound for New York,
reached Stuyvesant early one morning,
and Sweeny, who was on the lookout,
stopped the train, because the train
which had immediately preceded it
carried no signal to give warning that
the special was behind It, It was be
fore the days of block signals and
much depended on a remenibranee of
orders as to how trains were to bo rub.
The commandant of the troops could
not understand why the train had come
to a standstill. Leaping from the train
he began making inquiries, and found
Sweeny standing at the switch, which
he hud locked.
"What does this mean?" thundered
the officer. Don't you know these are
Federal troops, under orders from
Washington to proceed to New York
without delay? What do you mean by
topping this train without orders?"
Sweeny pointed his thumb over his
shoulder in the direction of the single
track.
"The train ahead carries no signal
for yez," said he," "and there bees an
up train on its way."
"Unlock that switch instantly." com
manded the officer, drawing his sword.
"Not a moment's delay, now. Unlock
It!", v , . .
Til not," said Sweeny.and the words
were scarcely out of his mouth before
a dozen soldiers, in obedience to an
order, bustled the switchman into his
banty. One thrust his bayonet into
the boards alongside of Sweeny's neck.
The other pinned him in a similar man
ner under the arms. Ha'f a dozen
others' placed the muzzles of their load
ed muskets within a few inches of hit
bead. .
"Give us that kev and lot this train
proceed" was the command, and,
while no threat .accompanied it, tne
switchmen knew that the next order
would be to pull the trigger. He never
flinched.
"Not one foot docs this train move,"
he said without a tromor.
"I will give you one min "
. At that moment a shrill whistle was
beard, and before the officer could
finish his order the train for Albany
came flying along at the rate forty
miles an hour. Sweeny's watchfulness
had prevented a terrible disaster. Ho
knew well that the first train should
have displayed signal flags to indicate
that there was another following. Had
ho permitted tho train carrying the
soldiers to proceed there would have
been 'a frightful collision at about
Stockport, where a curve through a
rocky cut shuts out all view 200 yards
aheard. It didn't take cither the offi
cers or the men long to rcalizo what a
narrow escape they had mado and to
appreciate the bravery of the switch
man who was ready to give up his ewn
life rather than permit a thousand men
to put theirs in danger.
Famous Sam Sloau was President of
the Central in those days, and when he
heard of Sweeny's courageous conduct
he sent him a check for a generous
amount and suuimarilv discharged the
engineer and crew of tho train that had
run through without a signal. And,
strango to say, no strike was ordered
because of their discharge, nor was
President Sloan asked to specify rea
sons. Albany hxpre&s.
