The moat exciting and important po litical battle ever fought in the west will take place In Nebraska during the present year, It is none too soon to make preparation for that campaign. state oomniittee cannot carry on successful political campaign without money. The only dependence the com mittee has for money is upon personal voluntary contributions. This is not a safe and reliable resource, and even when It succeeds results in putting the burden of the fight upon a few individ uals who are patriotic and devoted, but often least able to bear it. We do not beliere in assesssmonts upon candidates or oflloials. They are corrupting in their tendency, and un just in their application. All the people should contribute to needed campaign ex- The Alliance Publishing Company will now make a proposition for the raising of a campaign fund whioh shall be a burden to no one, and shall be lim ited only by the efforts of the Indepen dents of this state, viz: For every new subscribes sent to va from this time until election, ' at our tegular price of 11.00 per year, we will pay 20 cents to tho treasurer of the In dependent State commlttoe, and will re quire of the Committee vouchers show ing the proper expenditure of the money. One thousand new subscribers will raise two hundred dollars for the cam- 1 paign fund. There are one hundred thousand people in the state who eught to have Tax Alliance, and who will take it if properly approached The Independent committeemen of every county and precinct in the state should take hold of this work at once. . The opposition to the independent cause will be fiercer and more unscru pulous this year than ever before. Ev erything depends upon this fight. Elec tors, U. S. Senator, congressman, legis lators, are to be elected. The Independent state committee most have money. We show the way an abundant supply can be obtained with no burden to any one. Jfoutsthe time to begin. A fund of twenty thousand dollars can he raised by this means mthin the next too months. , D you believe in itf Will you do itf Alliance Publishing Co. By J. Burrows, Editor, Pernicious School Boots, Editor Alliance: la your reply to the monetary articles recently published in the Century magazine, you lay stress (and I think deservedly) on the fact that its influence and circulation has weight with a great many readers This reminds me of a fact that has recently come be fore my notice. It is simply this, our district schools are now required to apply all their school books, to the cholars, and amongst them, I came across a political eoonomy entitled "The American Citizen, "and in its con tents there are sections so partisan and vcfair in their construction, that they are a disgrace to the average intelli gence of the readers thereof. I will here give a sample of these vap idities. On page 148 in the section head ad "Popular crazes" we find these words "Bat the popular idea may be hasty and mistaken. This is the case of the green back delusion when the multitudes Im agined that the poor might be helped to be rick, if the government would print sufficient quantities of paper dol lars. Again he goes on and adds, "it I a erase when the farmer or others think that it is a part of lha duty of the govern met to lend money, and so tempt every one to run Into debt." tte ae- vo'.fe a chanter to what be is plensed to call "Honest money," and in one of his sections beaded A moral question" be says, "When the government stamp a coin, and make a legal lender," that is good money to pay debts, the stamp U a sort of guarantee or pledge that the coin has as much value in in it, as it says on its face Thus the gold eagle ays, "I am honestly worth a fixed sum in the markets of the world." So again he adds, ' If the government coins silver dollars, and puts less value into tms coin than it puts into its gold dollars," the silver dollar would not tell the truth," unless it has as much value as the gold dollar contains. i will only add one more illustration of this writer's economics in a section beaded "The mo ney of commerce" he says, "Govern ments coin money, but the commerce of the world fixes its value." It would lake up too much of your valuable space to quote any further, but I will just give you one more sample) of his unbluehingegotism and conceit. On page 105 under tbe caption, "What the pub lic school should not teach,' he has this high sounding, but very truthful com ments. "It would be unfair, that any teacher who is employed at tbe public expense should urge his private opin ion upon tre cniluren of parents who may think differently " He (roes on and says it would not be fair for a teacher wno was supiortea Dy an tue people to try to persaude the children of demo crats to become republicans, otherwise our publlo schools would become par tisan. Now as a citizen of this republic and as a member of the general community, I protest against tbe unfair and unjust mode of introducing such text books into our public schools, the errors (as 1 consider them) that this author would inculcate into the minds of our children are partisan, bigoted and utterly unfair and talking over his lust quoted section they are most condemnatory. Trusting this will meet the eyes of some of our school boards, and make them cautious in introducing such works into our schools. i remain an enemy te partisan b'gotry. JOHN 8. AUIBEN.

Tor The Campaign, Resolutions from Alliance No. 812. At a regular meeting of this Alliance Jan. 23, Chas. Nash offered the fol lowing: Whereas, Tbere is a great nccossity for fighting for principles, that the com mon means r f aggression be forthcom ing, viz. funds, Kesolted, That the members of this Alliance agree to help towards raising a fund to be donated to the independent party for use in the coming presidential campaign. That each member feeling the above a duty agrees to plant one acre of his land this year and devote the gross proceeds towards the above object. The resolution was adopted and or dered forwarded to The Fabmers' Alliance of Lincoln, and Peoples Rights of Seward for publication. R. M. Robotham, Sec'y The above is praiseworthy and all right. But as a means for raising edu cational and campaign funds it will not prove anything like so efficient as the plan we proposed in last week's Al liance. The work that would raise and mar ket an acre of produce would obtain 100 new subscribers for The Alliance. This would put twenty dollars in the fund, and carry tbe gospelas preached in Tbe Alliance into one hundred new families. BES0LUTC033 Endorsing the Action of our Congressmen in the Sossiaa Appropriation Business. The following preamble and reaolu tions were adopted by Taylor alliaace at the regular session held on the fourth Saturday in January, imr.!: Whereas, Certain corporation fed newspapers are condemning the action oi tbe Aebraska congressmen in voting against the appropriation of money out of the United States treasury to aid the neoDle of Kussia: and Whebeas, Congress refused to vote money to aid tbe people of Kansas and Nebraska when in similar circumstances upon the ground that it was in violation or the constitution to do so; and Whebeas, Some of our bankers and business men who are now so loud in their professions of sympathy for, and protuse In their proners or aid to the people oi nuisia, opposed every meas ure looklntc toward the relief of our own people during last winter and spring; thererore be it Besotted, By Taylor alliance No. S45: 1st. That while we de ply svnipa- thlse with the people of Russia in their uofortunate condition and are willii g to, and wui, extend every means or re lief consistent with the demands of our own people, we believe that charity begins at home, and that if it was un constitutional to vote money out of the United States treasury to aid c:iiizeun and taxpayers of the United States it Is equally so to vote money out of the same treasury to aid the people of a loreign country. 2d. That if snfficieut aid is extended to the people of Rusiia to enable them to continue their productive industries the commerce of the world will be greatly augmented and the transporta tion companies will be tbecbier gainers thereby, and we bolicve that if the peo ple of this country donate liberally of their products to aid the suffering peo ple of Russia the transportation com panies should rurnish free transporta tion for all articles donated and properly consigned to Russian sufferers. 8d. That if our bankers and business men are so much more concerned about and interested in the welfare of a for eign people than they were their own people wuen in aimiiar circHmatances, we believe that if the farmers donate corn and other trrain or food products they ought to be willing to advance suf ficient money to pay all transportation charges without burdening the public treasury in case the transportation companies refused to carry the same free of charge. 4th. i bat as our present unequal revenue system places tbe larger share of the taxes upon those least able to pay them, and as the revenues ciettei thereby aro Insufficient to meet the ordinary expenses of the government, and as we are opposed to increasing the alnady expensive burdens of the labor ing classes of the United States, we heartily approve and endorse the action of our member of congress Hon. O. M. Kern, in voting against the afore said appropriation. 6th. That a copy of these resolu tions be furnished to The Fabmehs' Alliance, Lincoln; the Loup Valley Alliance, Burwbll, and the Custer County Bencon, Broken Bow with a request that the same be published and also that a copy be mailed to Hon. O. M. Kem. . A. wihsio. secretary. Wm. Evans, President. The Truth Comlux to Light. It is very seldom that tho daily sub sidized papers ever speak tho truth, and in their editorial columns it need nevor bo looked for. writes Hugo Proyer in tho Plow and Hammer. IV however, comos out occasionally in tho local columns in a ropori ef some kind. Such a enso came to light in tho Cleveland Leader, of Nov. 2H, 1891, w here Director of Publio Charities, Mr. Morrison of Cleveland, makes a report in which he states that last week tbe city bad to keep in fuel and food 2,013 families. This number would seem small if not analyzed. But let us see what it shows: The population of Cleveland is 230- 000; this divided by 5, the averngo number to a family, gives us 46,000 families In Cleveland. Dividing 46, -000 by 2,023 shows us that ono family out of every 23 is a pauper, kept at publio expense. Docs this indicate prosperity ? Again in tho same issue wo find a report of Rev. Mills' meeting1, in which it is stated by thoso who have investigated the aTairs of which thoy speak, that there are in Cleveland to day 4, 000 men out of employment and on an average now 1,600 porsons aro obliged to sloap out of doors, having no home to go to, or money to buy a night's lodging. Think of it! This statement made by minixters of Cleve land. Yet when we humanitarians show up a similar condition we ara called 'calamity howlers.1 Let every reform paper copy theso statements, and let every reform speaker quote them. Get a copy of tho Leader of that da to and show the people the actual condition of society in tho largo cities. Good friends, get your calamity faots and continue to howl ihem until the preseut condition of society is changed. Our duty to God and humanity de mands it of us, who have a spark of humanity loft, to do all in our power to assist our brother maa not alone by giving him alms, but by removing the legislation that has brought about this condition of socioty. Then, up and at it again, brethren. Give no quarter until the victory is won. A Gem of Hare Setting;. Our dubts stand for our invest ments, and not our losses. They rep resent our enterprise, and not our misfortune; our property, and not our poverty." This is the quotation from the address by the Republican State league during the late campaign that has bocomo famous as one of tbe greatest absurdities ever enunciated, an impracticable theory, and so thor oughly nonsensical that it has become the batt of ridicule throughout tbe state. The reform papers seized upon it and have pounded it poked fun at It and Jaugbod at it until tho d. o. p. organs are ashamed to even quote it any moro. Our speakers made sport of it and even the neighborhood cor respondent kicked at it And yet irhen it made its first appearance it was considered a gem of rare setting. The sentiment was elegantly clothed, but the people who are looking to the prautical things of this life have so thoroughly stripped that quotation of srl sentimentalism that the poor thing is almost naked and disowaed. It certainly would be interesting to know who was or is the real author of that fern. Ho should be embalmed in his tory. Alliance Tribune.

Hunting; tha Kangaroo How Rob- bla Rod After Hla Faiher Soma Amusing Experiment What ha Would Say Little Harold. Hunting tha Kangaroo. The term "kangaroo" which is used generally in most of the world to de scribe any animal that has a pouch for carrying its young, and a long tail, and that proceeds by jumping on its hind legs, is of limited applicat ion in Australia. Tbe kangaroo is differentiated by many exact particulars from bis cous ins, the "wallaroo," the "wallaby," and the "paddymelon," all of which strangely named animals appear to the uninitiated only as smaller indi viduals of ttie kangaroo's immediate family. Kangaroos are found in all sorts of country in the open wood, on the plains, in the dense "scrub," and in rocky ravines. They are variously hunted on horseback, with qr with out dogs, and by stalking, cither with riHe or shotgun. A kangaroo hunt on horseback is an exciting and often dangerous pastime. In timber, where it usually takes place, it is particularly hazardous, owing to fallen logs and low-set branch es, which often sweep the incautious hunter over his horse's tail and drop him in an undignified position on the ground behind. Firearms are not employed in this pursuit, and when the gameis cornerd it is killed by a blow from tbe butt end of a heavy riding wiiip or from a stirrup, which is unshipped from the saddle for, the purpose. The dogs used in the chase are a rough breed of large orey hounds, which have not only the strength necessary to pursue a flying ioangeroo for miles, but also to attack him when brought to bay. In addition to being timid and in offensive by nature, the kangaroo is poorly provided with offensive weap ons, llis powers of biting are not formidable, and his forepaws are so weak as to seem almost rudimentary members of little use. His hind legs are muscular and strong, but are apparently of use only to assist flight from his enemies. In these hind legs is found, however, a most formidable weapon in the shape of a long claw, as hard as steel and sharp as a chisel as terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots of the ancients were to their enemies. Ho fights pluckily when cornered, and if he can find a stream or water hole in which to await his foes, will station himself waist-deep in it, and, pushing the dogs under one by one as they swim out to attack him, either drown them outright or compel them to retire for want of breath. Against human enemies, armed only with clubs or stirrup irons, the kan garoo often shows himself a clever boxer, warding off blows very dexter ously with his fore paws, and now and then making forward bounds, with rapid play of bis dangerous hind feet, which are dWlicult to avoid. The common opinion that kanga roos use their strong, muscular tails as a means of propulsion in their Hy ing leaps, whioh often cover from 20ft. to 30t't. each, is at once seen to be fallacious by any one who joins in a kangaroo hunt. When sitting erect in attitude of ob servation, the tail is used as an im portant factor in the support of the body, and when the animal is feeding (at which times it moves about in a lazy, crawling gait upon all four of its feet"), it drngs limply over the earth. In running, however, it is curved gracefully upward to clear thegrouud, and never once touches it during the kangaroo's llidit, being seen to fulfil the ollice of a balancing pole, and pre serving the animal's equilibrium by shifting positions according to the nature of the ground. So iniportunt is the kangaroo's tail in his rapid progress that experienced hunters with guns aro accustomed to ' lire at the point where tins appendage joins the body when, the tail being disabled for its ollice ol balancing, the animal is as effectually stopped as if hamstrung. Hit elsewhere, except with a nlle bullet, or at point-blank range, the kangaroo is pretty likely to get oil. When the early settlers entered Australia they found the country swarming with the marsupial tribes, and as there was not enough pastur age for sheep and kangaroos, a war of extermination was waged against the latter. They were slaughtered by millions, until, at the present day, a kangaroo is, in most districts, as scarce as the buffalo in America. Now that kangaroo leather is a valuable commodity, tho settlers are mourning their recklessness, and tak ing means to preserve the animal from extinction. How Robbie Rode After His Father. Uobbio's father was going to the city, and going on horseback, too. Robbis wanted to go very much, but it was a long way. Robbie was very little, so he must stay at home with mother. Ho watched his father ride away, and he did not cry, as every body expected be would. O, no, for a fine plan had crept into his umall head. After his father was out of sight, Robbie looked around until lie found his stick horse. He didn't look for his hat, for he didn't like to wear it. He onfy kept it on because mother said, if he did not, he must wear a bonnet. So, in his red dress, Robbie went trotting off through the front gate. Nobody was on watch just then, and Master Rob got well out of sight be fore any one missed him,. He had made up his nfind that he would go with father, and expected every moment to catch up with hiin. The stick-horse trotted bravely along the muddy road. Father'shorse had cone through the mud. Robbie could see the tracks of the hpofs, so be would not turn aside either, but splashed along through every mud hole. At last the stick -horse did not trot so merrily. He fell into a walk, for Robbie's shoes were so heavy with mud he could scarcely drag them out of each miry place. His hands were very red and cold, too. Surely he would soon find father, so be trudged along the muddy road. At last he did ce ft man and on horseback, too. Rut he wa routing toward Robie. When at last he came up to the at irk' bora and its tired rid?r he stoptied. "Where are you going?" be aeked of Robbie. "I'm going after father, and he'e gone to Richmond, said Robbie. "Well, I wouldn't go any farther to day," said the man. "You get np here in front of me and we'll have a fine ride home." At first Robbie did not want to turn back, but the kind neighbor per suaded him, and took him, muddy shoes, stick-horse, and all salely home. Whether mother had missed Robbie before he got back, I don't know. But I do know she was glad the stick-horse had not carried its little rider on any longer journeys. Robbie was washed and kissed and petted, but he never rode after father again. Our Little Ones. Soma Amusing Experiment. TO SWEEP A CENT OUT OP THE HAND. This seems a very easy trick, but if done fairly, it is really difficult. Open the hand naturally and place the cent on the palm of the hand, then ask some one to brush it out with a whisk-broom. After repeated efforts, it will prob ably be suspected that the cent is fastened in your hand in some way. In order to prove that it is not, let the sweeper place it on his own palm, and he will find that it remains as im movable there as when he tried to sweep it from tbe hand of the other person. A few persons have fat palms. The cent may easily be swept off from such palms, but they are not common. TO PICK I'P AS APPLE WITH A SPOON. It requires not a little patience to accomplish this trick. Place a large, round apple, stem up, on a smooth floor; then try to take it up with a spoon, The very effort of trying to get the spoon under the apple starts it rolling, to the amusement of the onlookers. If done quickly enough, the apple can be taken up while in mo tion; but the proper way is to wait until it ceases to roll, and then care fully push the spoon far enough under the apple to get the center of gravity over the spoon, when there is no diffi culty in picking it up. TO CL'T AN APPLE WITHOUT BREAKING THE SKIN. Thread a needle with strong thread. Insert the needle just under the skin of the apple, take a stitch, and fare- fully draw the needle and thread through to within six or seven inches of the end. 'Then insert the needle again, this time in the exact hole it was withdrawn from. Continue the stitches in this man ner around the apple, withdra wing the needle the last time through the first hole made. The thread is entirely around the apple now, coneealed by its skin. Take a firm hold of each end of the thread and, holding both of the ends well together, to prevent tearing the skin, pull gently. The thread cuts its way slowly through the apple until it is in two pieces, when the thread is withdrawn through, the tiny hole made by the needle. If this trick is donecarefullyenough, the breaks in the skin will not be dis cernible on the closest inspection. In deed, the only convincing pi-oof that the apple has been cut in half, will be to pare a narrow strip of skin where the needle and thread have traveled, when the apple will fall apart. Papa Ate It All. Coming borne to dinner and learning that his wife was out making calls, the head of the house notified the servant he would have his dinner at once and alone, presuming that his small boy, aged 4, would dine with his mother. The smnll boy had a different plan, and,acting on it, climb ed up into his high chair and waited to be served. The father supposing that the young man was simply keep ing him company, gave him nothing to eat. With a puzzled expression on his face the boy saw the meal disap pearsoup, meat, and vegetables his own plate all the while empty. As the servant brought in the desert the boy.s anxiety greatly increased, al though he said nothing. But when the last morsel of cherry tart had gone out of sight the little chap broke down completely. Throwing himself back in his chair, he cried to the serv ant. "Oh, Mary, Mary, papa has eaten the whole businessi" New York Times. Little Harold. Harold had a bad habit of crying at bedtime, and saying he didn't want to go to bed. One afternoon, about four weeks be fore Christmas, his Aunt Lizzie came into the room where Harold was play ing, and told him she had just been hearing a letter from Santa Ciaus read, and in the letter Santa Claris said that every night about six o'clock he heard some little boy crying and making a great disturbance because he didn't want to go to bed, and he was going to try and find out who the little boy was, because he shouldn't bring any presents to sueh a child as that. . Harold hung down his head a minute and then said, "Aunt Li7zie, you can tell Santa Ciaus 1 was that boy, but tell him I am not going to cry any more." He kept his word, "and I know that on Christmas morning he found a Rtockingfnl of presents by his crib:- Youth's Companion. What He Would Say. Dick is a sunshiny boy, always good natured and full of fun, and nearly always ready to do his share of help ing; but he doesn't like his nightly task of getting kindling for the day's fires, and is pretty sure to shifk it when he can. One day, before Christmas, Aunt Nell was lecturing him a little. "St.Nicholasdoesn'tlikelazyboys," said she. "What would you say if he should put a stick in your stocking?" Dick's brown eyes twinkled. "I'd say, "Hello! here's a piece of kindling wood for Aunt Nell!' ' he laughed. Aunt Nell laughed, too; how could she help it? And Dick didn't get a stick in his stocking; but h'e found a bright, new hatchet, sharp enough to cut kindlings with, hanging up beside it. Youth's Companion. EVERGREENS ?j P. AN0 fOREST TREES.
