THE FARMEKS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY JUNE 4, 1801.
STORY OF THE WEEK
KXBIXG WEDXESDd )', JVXK 3.JS9L
DECORATION DAY. The day was
observed throughout the country ia a
more marked manner than ever before.
The graves of the nation dead were
decorated with flowers everywhere.
Business was almost suspended In all
towns. Impressive services were held
at the tomb ef General Grant in New
York. The graves of confederate he
roes were decorated, and services were
held in many places.
HAYTITS TROUBLES. President
Hippolite was fired upon by four men
in ambush recently while riding ith a
few officers. The government papers
speak of it as an attempted assassina
tion, while opposition papers refer to it
as part of an uprising which will result
in a long and bloody civil war. Upon
the overthrow of President Salomon in
1684, Legitime became the ruler of the
provisional government. General Tele
maque endeavored with his troops to
overthrow the provisional government
and was killed in a tight, whereupon his
soldiers chose Hippolite as their leader.
Mealtime, Legitime had been elected
president by a sectional majority, and
a civil war between the northern and
the ether parts of Haytl enmied. Hip
polite was victorious, and became
president in October, 1880. Legitime
escaped to New York, but both he and
Maoigat have returned to Hayti.
ITALIAN MAFIA. Last October
the mayor of New Orleans, under a res
olution of the council, appointed a
committee of fifty to investigate the Ma
lia. The committee hu just published
a report. It catalogues ninety-four as
swsinations by Italians and Sicilians
where the accused escaped for want of
evidence. These were followed by the
the assassination of the chief of police.
The Matia has terrorised the Italians of
New Orleans for years, the report pro
ceeds, levying tribute at pleasure under
J iiAath A an Intot-vlaar with
Consul Corte, he stated that be believed
the Matia existed in Sew Orleans, and
strongly suspected . who the leaders
were, promising to give their names.
He also spoke of an attempt of a co
terie, composed principally of the men
, who were killed by the mob, to poison
him. Though he promised further in
formation, he never gave it, offering as
bis excuse tbat the committee was an
extra judicial body. The committee
recommend the entire prohibition of
immigration from Sicily and lower
Italy as being as dangerous to Louisi
ana as Chinese immigration is to Cali
fornia. CHINESE IN CANADA. A deputa
tion from the Trades and Labor con
gress waits upon Sir John Macdonald,
declares that the Chinese are undesira
ble immigrants, and asks him to devise
some measures to still further restrict
their landing in Canada. Sir John re
plies that the 150 poll tax on Chinamen
is restriction enough; that the Chinese
do not as a rule remain in Canada, but
land there with the intention of cross
ing to the United States; and that' the
United States has antagonized the Chi
nese government by their exclusion pol
icy, and therefore it would be unwise
for Canada to jeopardize her Asiatic
trade, which is now being built up at
the expense of the United States.
TRUST LAW. Judge Thayer, of the
United States district court of Missouri,
decides that a trust company has no re
course in law if a member of the trust
violates the agreement not to go into
business again.
The decision was rendered in the case
of the American Preserving company
against the Taylor Manufacturing com
pany. For years prior to 1888 the Tay
lor company bad been carrying on their
business in New York, but ' the Ameri
can Preservers' Trust had bought out
their business, for which they were to
pay part cash and balance iu trust cer
tificates. The Taylor company agreed
not to go into the business again in the
county for twenty-live years, or until
the trust died. In 18UU, the company
did go into business . again, and when
the Ainwicau Preservers' company
brought suit to enjoin them they claim
ed that the agreement only Iwund the
three stockholders who had signed it.
As the trust did not allege that the
company was bound by the action of
those stockholders It was compiled to
file another paillon, and the Taylor
enmptuy thn deinurrsd, claiming that
even if the company was bound by the
agroeniHbt, such contracts were unlaw
ul la the state of Missouri. The de
murrer was suatainvd.

Philadelphia, is in jail on the charge of
misappropriating 130,000 of city money,
and the embezzlement of 1400,000, of
state money.
Revolutions are now in progress in
several South American countries, in
cluding Chili, Honduras and Dutch
Guiana.
The "original package" law has been
decided constitutional in the United
States supreme court. This is a victory
for prohibitionists, as by its provisions
the prohibitory lav in prohibition
states does not have to be re-enacted as
was claimed by saloon men.
Russell Harrison told some Chicago
politicians the other day that his father
would not be a candidate for re-election,
"unless bis party demanded it."
An unsuccessful attempt was made te
steal the body of P. T. Barnum from
the cemetery in Bridgeport, Conn., Sat
urday night.
The jury in the Sheedy mnrder case
at Lincoln, acquitted the defendants,
Mary Sheedy and Monday McFarland,
of the charge against them. The con
fession of McFarland was the only evi
dence agains: them, and the jury de
cided that it had been procured by In
timidation and therefore threw it out.
It is a peculiar case. The negro, Mc
Farland, made four different confes
sions that he committed the murder,
and the jury only convicted him of ly
ing. Such are the technicalities of law
which allow red-handed murderers to
escape punishment.
Sir John McDonald, Prime Minister
of Canada is on bis death bed at the
hour of going to press. There is great
excitement throughout the dominion,
as Sir John McDonald is at the head of
government affairs there, and upon his
death the dissolution of tne present
ministry follows, and a new election
must bo held. The tory element were
held together only by the magnet issa of
McDonald in the last election, and it is
confidently predicted in many circles
tbat a "liberal" or "annexation" victory
will be the result of the next election.
The state convention of the people's
party is being held in Des Moines as we
go to press (Wednesday afternoon). A
great amount of enthusiasm has been
manifested in that state during the past
few weeks, and a large convention is
undoubtedly the result. Full rapon
next week.

Let us stop and ask ourselves a ques
tion or two: For what are stock insu
rance companies organized?
To make money without earning it.
Then why do they break up?
Becanse they pay out too much money
for the small amount of work done.
Agents' fee is from 25 to 40 per cent of
premium and a policy fee if he cad get
it.. The general agent a fee and several
useless men receive a salary large
enough to swallow a national bank.
And the expense of legislation is simply
immense. Just think of it. There must
be a large committee to attend the leg
islature of all states and seo that no
laws are passed that would be detri
mental to the welfare of the company,
and it sometimes happens that several
thousand dollars are required to con
vince a foolish (so-called by this gentry)
farmer legislature tbat it is entirely un
safe to pass any law by which the farm
er may organize and insure their own
property and hire their own help at
farmer's wages-
What is the real difference between
mutual and stock insurance companies?
In the mntnal all tbat are insured ave-
meinbers and help to elect all officers,
help to regulate the wages of all em
ployes, etc., etc. While in stock com
panies the the stockholder only has any
thing to say about salaries and other
expenses and as it costs them nothing,
they are not particular about the spend
ing of a few thousand dollars unless it
is going to a poor policy holder.

It will be noticed that in the first
three companies which are considered
small companies in Pennsylvania the
per neat of I ss and expense are both
greater than in the larger companies and
if that is the case in Pennsylvania it will

At the age of nine Leon GambctU
was sent to the seminary near tho vil
lage ef tabaatide. It has been related
that the child voluntarily put out ene
of his owa eyes with a pen-knife, when
he was tit the eccleeiutlcal seminary,
in order U compel his parents to with
draw Lia- from the charge of the
priests, sv's Paul Armand. The
accident rcaily happensd in the follow
ing manner:
Leon dvays spent his holidays ot
home at Cnhors. Next door to his
father's thtp a cutler named Galtie hrui
established himself, and the child was
constantly in the cutler's workshop
One day as a workman was boring a
bole In the bnadle of a knife with a
steel drill, put In motion by means of
sort of bow, tho steel rod broke and
one of the pieces struck the child in
the right eye. Henceforth Leon Gam
betta was blind of an eye. His eye re
mained In this way till 1867, when Dr.
Wecker took out the diseased eye and
substituted a glass one iu its place. ;
