Organising Military Companies.
Fa emont, Neb ., March 22, "92.
Editor Alliance-Independent: A
few weeks ago editor Haskell, of tbe Ord
Blizzard, Incidentally remarked In the
columns of his paper that It would be a
good plan for the Knights ot Labor to or
vanlze a military company, and take les
sons In military tactics, something after
the manner ot the uniform rank of the
Knights of Pythias.
Thia remark waa taken ud by the sub
sldlzed press, and the vocabulary of bil
lingsgate was exhausted in hurl lair ana
themas at the unfortunate editor's head.
It was charged that this was the effort of
an anarchist to orranlze the laborers into
a revolutionary baod with tbe Intention
of precipitating a war between labor and
capital. All good law abiding citizens
were cautioned against thia movement
and urged to use their influence to pre
vent any auch an organization coming In
to existence.
After having read so many ot these
frenzied appeals, and having the conse
quences of such a step so vividly brought
to my mind by these excited champions
of our country's liberties, I was consider
ably surprised bv reading In the columns
of one of tde loudest mouthed ranters of
this class (The Lincoln Call) that the Dun
commercial Agency, and the different
banks of Lincoln had organized a private
military company, officered and com
manded by bank officials. This move.
ment evidently met with the commenda
tion of the Call, and as yet, I have failed
to notice one word ot censure from the
papers who were so fearfully excited
over the mere mention that the Knights
of Labor might do the same thing. Lin
coln Is not the only city where tbe money
interests are organizing military compa
nies. In addition to 40.000 Pinkerion
thugs who are kept upon the pay rolls ot
corporations, and who at their bidding
stand ready to slaughter in cold blood
unarmed laborers who dare assert their
rights, tbe money power Is organizing
Just such companlas all over the United
States, with the intention, no donbt, of
acting in conjunction with those assas
sins If occasion requires. '
Senator Sharon's idea was to cuturn
loose upon them (striking laborers) canis
ter and ij rape." The railroads and banks
are preparing to do thia. They are stealth
ily creating a large and well drilled army.
When the laborers cause shall have
triumphed at the ballot box, this army,
equipped with the most destructive
weapons money can procure, will confront
them. Under the pretense that all laws
enacted for protection of tbe wealth pro
ducer are "unconstitutional," the Supreme
courts will defeat all legislation for the
people, and will have a standing arjiy to
back them. One of the most significant
and portentlos signs of the times Is the
tact that old party papers are encouraging
tbe organization of military companies
among the wealthy classes, and condemn
lng In unmensured terms the mere sug
gestion that the Knights of Labor ought
to do the same. It proves conclusively
that a subsidized press is in league with
the moneyed aristocracy to lull the peo
ple to sleep wiiiie the chains of slavery
it re being forged so strongly, that
no amount of effort will be able to
strike them off.

Modie of Bed Willow.
Representative Modie of Red Willow
county sends the following copy of bis
letter to Governor Boyd with his com
ments thereon:
McCook, Neb., Feb. 23, '93.
Gov. James E. Boyd: Dear Sir: Yours
of 20th at hand, contents noted. In an
swer will say that I am decidedly against
the call of an extra session; for I can see
no good thnt would accrue, either to
yourself, to legislators, nor to the people
whom we have the honor to represent.
But sir if you In your wisdom should see
proper to convene an extra session I
should obey the call. Vou ask me the
question direct if I think that a majority
of the Independent members would favor
a reasonable reduction ot say, ten or
twenty per cent on railroad tariff as
charged in this state. I can answer only
for myself: It would be only one step in
the right direction. I am In 'avor of twenty-second
session bill "H. R. No. 12"
(Newberry Bill). As to other measures that
should be Incorporated in your call; I have
no opinion to offer but will try to work
and vote intelligently.
Y'wri Respectfully, '
A. C. Mopts.'
Now. Bro. Thornton, the above is ver
batim as I wrote to hla Honor James E.
Boyd . But 1 bad no idea that bis Honor
would misconstrue my meaning and con
sider that from the tone ot the letter that
I in any way considered the Newberry
Bill too sweeping; but in the position
which he occupies in the eyes of the people
of this state, he is "more to be pitied"
than censured, for the executive pen will
fail from bis trembling hand, too soon for
him to correct the mistakes made by him
self, his party and the hundreds of repub
licans whom be so cordially thanked at
thia late reception in Omaha; for their
"voice and vote" In the contest of wrong
against right, In 1890. Now Mr. Editor I
will subscribe myself yours In a fight to a
finish without gloves. .
Respectfully,
A. C. Modie.

F. C Johnson, clerk of the district
court ot Phillips county. Kansas, con
tribute tha following to tha Topeka
Advocate:
The trial docket for tha January
term of the district court in thia
county. hc wed 109 foreclosure, cases.
Of these, thirty caeca were continued.
The amount of judgment taken waa
107. 6VL
At the same term there were forty-
five sheriff's sales confirmed. In casea
representing judgments to the amount
oi 3U5(sat)0. and in which the lands
sold for $14824.61.
The mortgages arc released, but
there remains unsatisfied judgments
juat In these forty -five cases to the
amount of f 19. 455.89.
Is thia a 'calamity howl?" Verily, a
law that will allow such a state of af
fairs ia a calamity. Men may talk of
offering inducement , for capital to
come to our state, but the people now
say. after their eyes have been opened,
that men who will enact auch a law, if
not guilty of robbery, arc at least ac
cessory before the fact
No one among the members of the
Farmer's Alliance denies the right of
the creditor to foreclose when the con
ditions ot the mortgage have been
broken. All even admit that, if the
mortgagor ia unable to comply with
the agreement set forth in the instru
ment which he baa signed, that the
owner of the mortgage may legally
foreclose,-though the mortgage bo
ever so 'iron clad." But the people
are speaking now, and demanding
that laws be enacted by which tbe
property pledged after their enact
ment ahall aatisfy the debt
A law that allows a farm of the
value of $2,000 to sell for.'foCas was
the case in one of the above named
judgements,, and leave a large unsat-,
lsnea juagement against an old gray
headed man, is unjust unholy and
crueL He can not own property in
this lire but what it can be seized
upon aod sold under execution for
what it will bring.
Ihia system, is fast destroying the
small farmer class. Our lands are
passing into the hands of a few per
sona Americas yeomanry is being
deprived of their homes, and at the
same time having an incubus of debt
fastened t'pon them from which they
cannot recover, unless relief oomes
soon. These are facts, very disagree
able ones, not only to those who make
it their business to condemn the
calamity howler," but also, and In
much greater degree, to the ones who
bear that classic name; for they tire
the ones, who are most' affected.
The man Who says that the people
are making these protests for political
effect is mistaken, "it is a cenditiou
and not a theory that confronts us. "
As matter if we had good crops and
fair prioes, and many got out of debt;
the same condition still confronts the
people of this nation, and while tho
good Lord blessed us last year and
helped us in our time of need. I be
lieve that unless the people go for
ward and do their duty as men and
women that they are unworthy the
name of 'Americana, and that future
generations ot rack ridden tenunta
will look back from their scenes ot
toll to the time when their ancestors
had the power to redeem 150. 000. 000
acres of their domain from foreign
capitalists and failed to do it, and will
pronpunce anathemas against an an
cestry bo lacking in moral courage as
to allow a mighty empire to slip from
their grasp and be robbed by foreign
nobles.
This government should provide
some means by which American citi
zens can save their homes. Enough
money should be provided by the gov
ernment, and got into circulation
through a system of public improve
ments, 60 that the people can pay off
the debts and be once more frea
Such a state will never again be ex
perienced in this our beloved land as
long as our present laws in regard to
foreclosures remain in force.
Where Poverty Abides.
Imagine a city with most of its
streets narrow, muddy and crowdod.
where the soller of lottery tickets
takes the placo of the newsboy, where
the pavers or the street, tne conductor
of the cars, the clerks in the stores.
the policemen on their beats, the sol
dier with his muskot, the barefooted
men and women who peddle their
wares and the very beggars at the
doorways all smoke cigarettes or
cigars. The street oars carry the cof
fined dead to the cemetery, with tho
mourners iu the cars that follow. Men.
women and children, half-naked and
without shoes, bear the burdens that
we put upon drays and wagons; water
carriers peddle tho limpid fluid from
the acquoducts from house to house.
Every other woman haa a baby dan
gling contenteUly from a sack upon
her back. Imagine the picture and
you get a glimpse of the street scopes
that you look upon about tho great
