Editok Farmers' Aixuxck: I hard
ly know whether to address you in a
personal or an official capacity, but I
feel that some report should be made
of the ratification meeting held in this
city last Saturday. The court room
was filled with fanners (only their
editor. Judge Stark and ex-shoriff Fall
being present from the city). Speeches
from Judge Stark, Chairman Upward
and S. N. Whittlesey, a former republi
can, were listened to, describing the St.
Louli conference from the standpoint
of the K. of L., the Fanners' Alliance,
and that of a spectator; and for more
than two hours the people sat and
listened to the recital, only &n occa
sional burst of applause relieving the
unusual stillness of the room.
The Judge was forcible and eloquent,
Ui'. Howard, Interesting and con
vincing, and Mr. Whittelsey, though
not used to public speaking, stirred the
audience as he pronounced "the work
of that conference an inspiration and
its personnel to be the most earnest and
patriotic he ever saw."
When the final vote was taken as to
whether or not the work of the confer
ence met with the endorsement cf the
audience they, with a single exception,
sprang to their feet as one man. So
unanimous and enthusaistio a meeting
the writer has never seen.
Speeches were also made by Senator
Hern, Representative Newberry and
others.
The system of substituting primary
elections for caucus and convention
was fully discussed and the chairmen of
the varion central committees in
structed to ascertain the wishes of their
precincts in regard to the matter, and
with such hearty good feeling as one
seldom sees, the meeting adjourned.

At the close of ths business meeting
of the county Alliance Saturday an open

county was held for the purpose of
ratifying the St. Louis platform. S. W.
Carter was made chairman and H. C.

St. Louis platform and plans for carry
ing on the campaign were discussed at
some length by D. R. Carpenter, J. M.
Williams, M. Sullivan, U. W. Bryant,

Editor Farmers' Alliance: The
Peuuia of this county assembled at Jiln

Endicott. Neb., March 29, 1802
Pursuant' to the national call for
ratification of the St. Louis demands
the Independents of Endicott precinct
held a meeting for that purpose on the
afternoon of March 26th.- The meeting
had been appointed for both afternoon
and evening but owing to the unusually
severe weather the bonnre and the eve
ning meeting had to be abandoned.
The afternoon meeting was well
attended considering the weather.
Good music was furnished by the
Endicott cornet band, and some most
excellent speeches were made. The
principle sneaker was S. E. Isgraham
oi Falrbury, who is soul and body in
the Independent caase ana who
chock full of reasons why we need
reform. He Is a forcible speaker and
handled the finance question without
gloves, exposing the fallacies of the gold
Dags, in suca a way mat a way oaring
mail thongk a fool might see the point
Following Mr. Ingraham came several
local speakers, educated in the
Allianoe. We have no troubls in
getting speakers now.
The most noticable feature of the
meeting was the almost entire absence
of the old party Waders, and that raises
the question, "are they afraid to beard
the lion in bis den?" or do they think
they will freeze the causa out oy not
showing their smiling faces at our
meetings. If they do they are very
much mistaken, for the cause grows
stronger every Say. tne people are
thinking and our cbances lor victory
are better than ever before.
Wishing vour paper all the success
possible, we are, yours for reform,

to its utmost capacity. Mrs. Mary E.
Lease the "Kansas Cyclone" was the
orstor, and words are inadequate to ex
press the wonderful enthusiasm of our
independent people on that occasion.
Mrs. Lease caused a veritable wniri
wind here and the enemy are complete-
demoralized; many are at the
anxious seat crying, "What shall we do
to be saved?"
In a clear r'.nsring Voice she presented
the principles set forth in the St. Louis
platform, commenting upon each, one
told ot republican misrule and
challenged them to name one act of
legislation in mo luieicsua ui iuc cum
mon people. But the g. o. p.'s were
silent. She thought that some one
ought to say that they bad given us the
homestead law. one was wuung to
'render unto Orsar the things that are
Ca-sar's," but they had given the laud to
tne railroads.
The lady spoke both in the afternoon
and evening and all felt that not one
word could nave been ielt out.
If Nebraska independents know their
Interests they will secure Mrs. Lease to
speak to the laboring people in all of
the cities of the state, she has a voice
sullioientlv strong and clear to be
beard bv an audience oi ouuu people.

Editors Farmers Alliance I am
receipt of a circular letter from
'hdlp Andres, deputy labor commis
sioner of Nebraska, wbi:n reads as
follows: . . .
The cost of raising corn and w sein
er farmers are workiDg at a loss is a
question that has agitated the minds of
tne people, this uureau is aeiernimea
to investigate the mutter and obtain.
with your assistance, me most accurate
and reliable figures.
You aro respectfully requested w uu
out the enclosed blank and return the
same to this office."
FniLir Ahdres,
Deputy Commissioner.
Now Mr. Andres for his authority
in sending out these circulars adds the
following:
"Sec. 8. of tte Law creating a Bu
reau ot Labor. Census and Industrial
Statistics, reads: 'The said commis-
ssioner shall have the power to prescribe
blank forms, and transmit tnem to
employers and others wnich shall be
tilled out clearly ana completely, wun
the facts, statistics ana statements
asked for, and return them to the com
missioner within such reasonable time
as he may fix.' "
Sec. 8 of chanter 39. which Mr An
dres pretends to quote, reads as follows,
and please note the difference:
"Sec. , (forms Aamission 10
Work Shoos.) The said commissioner
shall have the power to prescribe blank
forms and transmit them to employers,
which shall be tilled out clearly and
completely under oath oy the person or
persons to whom they are sent, with
the facts, statistics and statements
asked for and return to him within such
reasonable time as he may fix. In case
any owner or occupant, or bis agent,
sh.ill refuse to admit any officer of said
bureau to bis work shop or lactory,
when open or in operation, be shall
forfeit the sum of ten dollars for each
and every offence. Etc , etc."
Now. Mr. Editor, the farmers of this
state already know just how fast they
are getting rich raising corn. They also
know how much it costs to get it to
market, and that the speculators and
railroads get all our profits and more
too; hut would it be any better with
beets and allow the buyer to do bis own
testing? 1 think not. Let's hear from
our brothers near Grand Island who
raised boets even when there was a
state bounty on sugar. Will they
raise more beets this year? I think
not.
Now. Mr. Editor. I think this is a
grand scheme on the part of the sugar
men t,(tney are so sweet) to compile
these statistics without authority at the
expense of the state and make them
appear authentic. The next thing they
ill do win oe to compile peet statistics
which will show that we can make
more raisinor beets than corn. If so,
then the legislature next winter should
put a bounty on corn raising for the
beet raiser to pay. or we would all
raise beets and have no corn to put la
our sugar cake.
T m . ' ' 11.... AMm
i am in lavur oi raiBiug luunc wui
which will Dav best, but so! long as the
sugar crop is controlled by a monopoly
there is no hope lor tne larniers. i am
not In favor, however, of taxing the
mlanr to oav his neighbor for
raisinir beets, or vice versa.
A law should be passed establishing a
state inspector of beets and abolishing
the bureau ot labor and Industrial sta
tistics If thty cannot confine themselves
to their authorized Jurisdiction.

Editor Farmers' Alliance: In the
counties of Burt, Wayne, fierce and
Stanton, throueh which I have been.
find that the farmers are everywhere
joining the independent ranks and will
vote for reform as held forth by the St.
Louis platform. The time was whou the
Alliance organiiation went before and
created the sentiment for reform, but
in most plaees the people are ready and
anxious for the opportunity to come
when thev can have the privilege of
crystallizing our platform into law by
their votes and especially is this the case
in many districts where there is as yet
no Alliance organization. The indepen

Compulsory Toting,
c BazileMiLs, Neb,
Editor Farmhrs' Alliance: There
is even now some one foreign natien
where compulsory voting is a law, and
Joseph Cook but sanctions the senti
ment of a noted jurist in speaking of
"no shirking" in politics. Had there been
snch a law in force in this state for the
past two years a good many now holding
ouice would be as tree from oinciai re
spensibilitiss as a new born baby. Un
der such a law J. H. Powers wou.d now
be governor of Nebraska without ever
bearing out the fraud against him. Jos.
W. Edgerton would now be a member
of the Supreme Court of our state. A
d'Allemand would be one of our State
Regents, and how many more State ofti
cers would have been elected I know
not. And though this is a matter of
small importance your correspondent
would now be holding the oltice of Sup
eiintendent for Knox county, with per
haps 100 votes to spare, and it is likely
that every oounty officer of this state
would to-day be of the independent
party, aad perhaps in all we would hare
bad 200 more in office than we have
ia the whole state.
The question naturally arises as to
whether the sentiments of a majority or
ot a plurality shall be utterly Ignored by
the laxinees or stingiaessof a few whose
sentiments and beerta are otherwise
right. What Is the loss of two hours on a
threshing day or from corn huskisg to
what candidates are called upon to lose,
who are simply doing the will of those
who have called them to their posi
tion. .
Is it fair to put a man in the field to
endure all the stress of a campaign and
then desert him? There is a matter of
honor in this business and scarcely un
der any circumstances is the position
of a candidate an enviable one.
The baser elements of all the cities
and towns can easily rally or be rallied,
the sick, "halt, lama and blind" will all
be there at the polls and In these com
munities the opposing parties find their
majorities.
If a man is good enough to be an in
dependent he is too good to be allowed
to wrong himself and others. He is
god enough to be compelled to do
right.
Then if each man knows he i to be
compelled to vote be will carefully con
sider the propriety of voting right.
There might be strong opposition to
such a law on the part of same, but ev
ery independent should be in favor of it.
When the people have a sentiment let it
be expressed.
Yours fraternally.

FOR THE FIGHT.
To What Political Party Should
MlnUtert
Belong?
The question, it seems, would be
easily answered. We should say to
that party which is right However,
this might be doubted, and the ques
tion raised should we not consider the
question of expediency? Am I to
sacrldce friendship and standing and
influence simply to bo right? Had I
not better stand for the best I can get
and hope that the parties that are
will drift to the right; yea, help them
to drift to the risrht? I take the
ground squarely that a mlalstor never
xinea anyimug oy v, uoiuprouiuKj
Hh the devil or aay of his agents.
Had I'aniel bowed to the demands
made upon him and done the best he
could, where to-day would have been
the noMe name and grand history?
But says some one "a half
loat is better than none at all. I
Ah, indeedl Is half a bridge
better than no bridge? Is a half
hearted friend better than no friend?
I proter no friend to one who is half
hearted. Who is there that does not
despiso a half-hearted man, one on
whom you never feel safe? Does the
Lord love such a one more than weP
We despise a man who is our friend
so long as policy diotates and when an
ill wind comes deserts us. It seems to
me that the patience of the Lord is so
tried with some men who are ever
lastingly governed by policy that if
his store was less infinite it would be
exhausted.
If you condemn a half heartod man.
how do you think that the Lord can
tolerate sudh a one In a man whom he
has culled to stand before the world
as his embassador? The question is
not to what party should a man be
long, but a minister, one whom God
has called and sent forth as his em
bassador. A foreign minister repre
sents not himself, when he stands be
fore the queen or king of a foreign
land but he represents his government
and must act at all times in the in
terests of his land and people and not
himself.
So wo are representatives of the
Lord and should staad so as to repre
sent him. Should the Lord ever
stand for a moment, with that which
is not right it would destroy his divin
ity. He would no longer be God.
How then can a minister who is his
representative to the people ever
stand with the unrighteous? The
question arises how shall we vote if
there are only two evils? There is al
ways time to get out a decent ticket
Why should we do It? The writer re
grots to-day ho voted for the present
mayor of this city and if the same two
candidates were before the . people for
the o-.lice agutn I would make out an
independent ticket if only a dozen vot
ed for it Would at least be able to
say I registered my opinion fer the
right and against the wrong. Oh,
says oue, that would be throwing
away the vote. By no means, for al
though the man was elected to the po
sition 'for whom I voted, I consider
that vote thrown away. What is a
vote? A ote is a oon ruction record
ed. Understand me, nfit osrpressed
but recorded. OuV ladies can express
very forcibly, but fliey canuot vote.
They oaenot record thoir opinion.
The recorded vote or opinion is all
that counts. Now we vote our opln
ietrs, net men. Ia voting for Mr. Cef
rau for mayor I chose the least ef
two evils. I thought and you who
votaft for Mr. Quinton voted for the
least of two evils, you thought, we
neither of us reoerded an opinion for
the rigbt, for both were men who wore
in the wrong. Let the Christian min
istry express their cenviotiou by vot
ing atone for good men and they will
soon have the political bosses bring
ing forth good mea to be voted far,
but so long as we will vote fer vaoh
men who openly or behind the door
drink their liquor, we can expect that
we will have such men thrust under
ur Koses to vote for. Eev. X. D.
