Some of the World' Fair officials are drawing a salsry of 115.000 per year At the same time in that city, where more work in being done than in any city in the nation on account of the enormous preparations Imc the lair, oe- tween 20,000 aud 30,000 working men cannot find employment, and every train that arrives brings new recruits. This estimate of the unemployed is made by the Chicago daily Xties. It is stated as a fact that hundreds of men apply for almost every place or job which is advertised. "Between 500 and 800 who are out of work have no money and no place to stay and are sleepiag in the police station every night." What do these conditions in the world's center of activity indicate? - The democracy of Massachusetts has placed itself on record at a meeting of the Tariff Reform club, the most repre sentative and powerful democratic or ganization in .New England, in favor of Mr. Cleveland for president. The meeting was called to protest against nominating Hill, and such great demo crats as Col. Charles R. Codman, Gen, Francis A. Walker, Edward Atkinson. JohnE. Russell, Massachusetts men, and Gen. Joe Johnson of New Orleans, were among the speakers. Gen. Walker declared he would vote for Harrison, Reed, or even McKinley before he would vote for Hill. Gen. Johnston affirmed most positively that the south was solid for Cleveland. The old confed. is off there though. Folk and the Farmers' Alliance will split the south and carry off the best part of it. Dk. Kent of the peoplos' church at; Washington, D. C, whose only creed is the Fatherhood of God and the Brother hood of Man, was recently called on by two friends of a dead woman, all three belonging to the outcast class. The liv ing were anxious to commit the dead to the earth with a pitying prayer, bat before coming to him had been unable to find a minister to serve or a place to hold the funeral services. After con sulting with his wifo Dr. Kent offered to hold the services in his own parlors. Mrs. Kent also hastily summoned a few of her lady friends, who met there the undertaker and two outcast women. The parable of the prodigal son was read, the story of the thief on the cross, and the life of the Saviour feelingly set forth; and after earnest prayer the funeral cortege resumed its way through the storm, the mantle of covering "beautiful snow," to the cemetery. Before her fall, a victim to drink and the sins of men, "no one in the city did more for the poor than she" in the way of charity and kindness. Another Loyal Judge. Noeth Platte, Neb., Eeb. 15 '02. Editor Alliance: Having noticed in your valuable paper a letter from a correspondent at Beatrice stating that the newly elected judge of that distsict had declined to accept a pass tendered him by the railway company and as said writer asks the question "is there any more like him?" I wish to inform him that J udgo William Neville of the 13th district is a man of the same metal. Judge Neville was supplied with a pass by the U. P. Railway Co., as has been their custom, but he returned it with a courteous letter of thanks stating that he wished to keep himself in position to do equal justice to all parties in suits that the Railway Co. might be interested in and that he could best do so by pay ing his fare when traveling over their lines. I may be violating confidence in offering this matter to the press, as it is not generally known among the judges frieuds, but being desirous that such noble examples may be emulated I am willing to risk tho Judges displeasure. And now Mr. Editor if your space will permit 1 woul-' like to offer some suggestions on this subject which I be lieve would remove many of the tempta tions that are now so powerfully and skillfully welidcd to debauch our public officers more especially tho courts and Legislrture, by this sanio pass busi ness. Would it not bo better for tho state to furuish all public officers with railway transportation when traveling on public business and repeal all statutes that provide for the payment of mileage; let the statutes destroy the commercial value of tho pass if possible, and then make it a penal offense for an officer cf the state, high or low, to accept such a favor from a Railway Co, while ho is in the public service. I make these suggestions merely to start a discussion in the hope that some practical remedy may be suggested and generally accepted by the time the nest Legislature meets. Platte. An Alliance Patriot Writes At a meeting of tta o Loup Clt y A lltanco held atMHdiHon P'luare February 8, mi, a motion carried tbat Win. Evans bo requested to fur nish copy of an essay road by him before said meeting to Th Fakmers' Alliance with a requeBt tbattbo same be published. Wo are pleased to publishd it. Editok Alliami'k. Mf . President, brothers and sisters of the Alliance: It is as needful that we cultivate our minds as our iields, there fore it is proper that we come together often in social intercourse to greet each other and indulge la a friendly inter change of ideas. U is written that "man shall not live by bread alone" therefore it becomes necessary that we devote a portion of our time to our social and intellectual improvement as well as to our physical being. Duty as well as pleasure and profit enjoins upon farmers that they associ ate more together in order that they may become more intelligent, more en lightened. It was the producers of wealth, labor ing men and women driven from the old world by the bigotry and latoler anco, the injustice and oppression of idlo drones consumers and absorbers of wealth that first settled this ceuntry and dedicatod it to freedom and toler ance, justice and equality, and it be comes our highest duty to maintain it as tho "land of the free and home of tho brave." If we would perpetuate our free insti tutions we must take care that our agricultural Interests are not depressed or discriminated against. Agriculture is the first and noblest of all occupations and all history teaches that where it has been fost ered by a people they have prospered and reached a degree of civilization and perfection; but where it has been neglected degen eracy began. Let us heod the warning and escape the doom. Let us then cultivate both the love of our calling, and the love tf our country as well. To love the country Is to take an Interest in ill that belongs to it its occupations, it sports, its culture aud its improvement to gather the llocks and herds around tu and feed them with our own bauds to protect the birds and make them our friends to inhale the pure morninz air and brush the dew from the glittering field, as if our path was strewed with dissads this is to lov our land and make it truly our borne. We must also Instil into the minds of our children the same love of country, remembering that they are to follow utter us and perpetuate our institutions. But if we would encourage them to love rural life we mast make its labor ootn cheerful and profitable. We may tell them of the pleasures and independence cl tbe farmer s life, but it tneir aauy intercourse with it proves it to be tedi ous, irksome and laborious without re numeration or recreation of body or mind if they see idlers, speculators and usurers reaping the pronts of the labors expended upon the farm, they will soon lose all interest in it and seek fascinations and rewards elsewhere. It behooves us then to educate both ourselves and our sons and daughters, not only in books, but in that Higher and broader education which takes in the relation of ono business to another, the relation of government to all the great industrial interests, the true char acter and functions of money and its relation to and effects upon labor, in a word that education which takes in ail of the human characters and enters into every just human relation. Nowhere else cau this be so well don6 as in the Alliance ana kindred societies. Here the soundest and most correct business principles are taught, the highest and broadest moral sentiments inculcated. Tbe highest and noblest attributes of he human character are bere brought forward, selfishness, meanness and bitterness rebuked, and the mind ex panded As a result of the educational features of the Alliance and other labor organi zations I look fot the time to come when from the farms and workshops of this broad land will go forth the men and women who will sit In our legisla tive and executive halls when intelli gence will become so broad and uni versal, and justice and equality so firmly and deeply grounded in our laws that we shall hear no moro of venal legislators or corrunt public servants. Then friends this work of organization and education is the most important woric oi our times. L3t us then with clean hands and pure hearts consecrate all that is best and noblest in us to the success of this work, which is the grandest, most sub lime and far reaching in its character of any ever before undertaken. Let each one of us then lav upon tbe altars of our noble order whatever we may have of selfish ambition or mer cenary motive, and joining let us coven ant with each other that our best and highest thought and action shall be dedicated to the cause of justice and humanity. Let us pledge ourselves to labor faith fully, patiently, earnestly and persist tnily to purify and build up ourselves,, our calling, our state and our nation, i Let our every wish and constant prayer be: "May klni Heaven the glad day hasten When in one fraternal band, We may number In our order All who till the smiling land." Then sir, "As a mighty host with banners, Peaceful vlotories we will gala. Moved by right's resistless purpose. Held by love's eleetrlo chain. Serfs and vassals then no longer Chained to ceaseless labor's oar. Deaf to Heavon'g highest teaohlng, Blind to nature's grandest lore; But with minds that honor freedom, Strongin strength that shleldB the weak With the free man's peaceful weapons, We'll enforee the rights we seek. Lancaster Oo. Beet Sugar Conuention Called. Hickman, Neb , Feb. 22, 1893. Editor Jabmebs' Alliance.

Editok Aixiaxce. for twelve years I have been a close observer of Mr. Roewatfr'a facts and flgures, as be terms them, and In no instance nave 1 known him to be correct in all of bis statements and on an average I do not think his facts and figures will prove to be true more than once in every ten times. In his last article on the silver ques tion he gives the price of wheat in Chi cago for the following years: IV I! S5 IMS Ti law si. law as it6 l.w Tbe facts are that oc the first day of January the Chicago price of wheat for the following years was: IMS Il.fll IK.8 ti.o 17... l.fti ltw i.a) IM i.w Now mark, these prices were given when wheat was about as low as at any time in the year except perhaps in No vember and December and in May and J une it was much higher than on the urst day oi January of each year. Then ho says, in 165 the difference bo'.ween the price of silver and green backs was all the way from 12 00 to $2.40. Now the greatest difference be tween paper money not full legal ten der and specie (gold and silver were the same)inl8G5 was tl liOJ and in the same month it was down to $0.07 and it run as low as $0 38 in the course of the year, and only twice in the year did it go above $1.00 tiifference after the fall from $1.30. Here von see are eight statements of figures by Mr. Rosewater and not one of them anywhere near the truth. , Respectfully. W. P. Brooks. Another Heard From. Editor Alliance: An article In Al liance of Feb. 4th entitled "a Judicial Curiosity," and an enquiry " are there any more of the same sort " Inspires me to say that there is. D. T. Weltv. judge otthis the 14th judicial district is another of that sor:. Mr. Welty real ized for years that any man taking a pass was under obligations to a certain extent to the giver, and that a pass was given not only as a matter of courtesy but as an indirect attempt to gain favor, hence he never asked for or received one as an attorney, or in any other ca pacity. At our judicial convention of this district and after his nomination was assured Mr Welty voluntarily pledged himself tnnt he would not ac cept a pass under nuy eruditions. Hang up tho roll of honor that all may see, that others as honorable may oe enaoieu to nave tneir names entered thereon. Yours truly, W.H.Allen. Cambridge, Neb , Fob. 12. A Fairtury Fanners Ideas. Fairbuky Neb., Feb. 13th, 03 Editor Farmers' Alliance: I wish some one would please tell me why the farmers cin't hire money direct from the government as well as railroad men can. Congress has let railroad monop olies have it on long timo and when duo they ask for still longer time, 5 or a 100 years and they Bever pay, or intend to pay. The government not only lent them credit but gave them millions of a I 1 i - - . i auits oi larni ousiues. Ana now inoy aren't satisfied, but are trying to rob the peopie oi one intra oi their produce by imposing on them unjust freight rates. They have however gone a little too last, lne people are waking up to re sist their ensroachments and are mov ing in tbe direction to buy and help them selves. We can build our own railroads and run them too. So much slack is expressed about sil ver money. They say if we coin a lot of eilver it wouldn't be worth more than 05 or 75 cents en the dollar, but we don't believe it. One silver dollar will buy as much as one gold dollar. They say too that paper money is not good, that it will stagnate business. 1 think it will mako business flush, as it was 25 or 27 years ago Give us greenbacks again making them full legal tender, and issue enough for all business needs. We never had better times than we had af ter the war when greenbacks wore plenty, and had it not been for con traction of the currency the good times would have continued. (live us what money we need, loaning it on good security at 8 to 4 per cent, and force tho railroads to charge just reasonable rates, and the hardworking will bo comfortable and contented. G. L. A. State Lecturer Wright in Sherman Oo, Editor Alliance: I want to tell you of the good work Bro. W. F. Wright has been doing in Sherman Co. ii, i i i .

Wright is a line orga nizer, and the plan of his selling the re form literature is gaining friends to tho independent cause here every day though Sherman county cannot be com plained of, it was tho banner county of the state last fall it elected every inde pendent candidate in the county, and gave large majorities for the state and district candidates. Wo pushed the fight right along from the start. We elected a dentral committee and an ad visory committee in case any emer gency came up, these last being older men, and everything worked like a charm. We made no compromises with either the republican or demo cratic party but "kept in the middle of the road.-' Our ht is one of princi ples and when a compromise is made with the old parties, either by endors ing their candidates or swapping off at the election, we compromise principle w e nave snown in this county that it is a successful as well as an honest plan to " keep in tho middlo of tho road. " If this is done in the national campaign it will be better for the canso we are ad vocating. Yours for success in "92, J. W. Zink. Loup City, Eeb. 20.

Editor Farmers' Alliance: I hear remarks made by persons who would be lad to believe it, that the Alliance is ying.

We are holding meet ings every week, mostly public, and dis cussing Questions of interest to the masses, and we always have a crowded bouse. 1 think another way to do much trood is to hand around Alliance and in dependent papers after we have read them, as many people will subscribe for a reform paper alter tney Decome inte rested. I give all of my papers to our political opponents, and I think I have done some good work in that way. The Farmers' Alliance should be in every reading room in .Nebraska. Yours for reform, W. A.
