6 THE ALLIANCE - ODE? E NT) NT Polk's Work Juit Begun. Whon Biprli uiu ...u of heaven, When fall th evening dew, When hope seems almost driven And lost from human view; Then stand we still and wonder, Nor waiting, wonder long, For in the echoing thunder We'll hoar the gleeful song, That right agiin shall triumph, That JuHtico shall bo done, Anl then will sound the seraph, 'Tis I'olk's work Just begun. We'll listen long in silence Enraptured, filled with Joy, With bated breath ana stillness, As stands a timid toy; We'll catch it to tho echo, As echo will prolong Beyond tho mighty shadow ' Ne'er stirred by hurrah song; Aud angels in the chorus Will try aloud. "Well done!" And bright will bo the glories Of Polk'a work Just begun. 'Tis God that hides tho vision From mortal eyes so far, And laughs at human wisdom That thinks to know a star; And He is God, our Fa:her, And hears his children cry, In mercy tries to lead them When for the right they tryj Though be tho effort humblo, In ignoranco begun, Still grand will o the coming Of Po It's wc rk Just begun. T. B. Summers. 'baking Hands With Himself. A Washington dispatch of August 2nd, "says: Representative Watson, tho young Farmers' Alliance member from Goorgia. in feeling so good theso days he is shaking hands with himself all the time. It ia duo to tho change of sentiment that has como over con gress since the Homestead troubles. L'eforo tho attacic on the Pinkertons he got laughed' at overy time he men tioned his bill to wipe out the system. Hut few deemed tho subject worthy of attention, and as for iti passing why, there was no doubt of such a thing. But immediately tho news came that Carnegio had sought the assistance of the Pinkertons, and it was learned that the country had sat down on the act with unmistakable vehomence, there was a tumbling over one anoth er by the members in their mad ha9te to get recognition from the speaker to introduce bill resolutions, any thing to blast the hated Pinkertons from the face of the earth and the fullness thereof. To hear them talk, one would have supposed that they had had only one desire slnco they came to congress and that was to introduce some legislation to wipe out the Pinker tons. Most of them begrudged Wat son the advertising and fame he would get from having, early in the session, before there was a speck of war on the horizon, got in first with a bill of his own. Most of the others ignored him and the remainder congratulated him. . The measure is now a very popular one and it Is doubtful if a member could be found to-day willing to vote against obliterating the Pink ertons from existence. They accord the system no rights whatever. No epithets are now too severe in the members' or the senators' minds to apply to the Pinkertons and they are applied right vigorously and often. Hence Watson's handshaking. Tli el r Game Is Up. No longer can the Democrats dodge the people by preaching their loyalty -their fidelity to the great demands of the people that game is up. Tho people can see, and know as they knew before, that the moneyed aristo crats rule the once grand old party known as Democracy, but which is now a Wall street corpora tion. . Shall the suffering millions inherit any relief through that corporation? Let every man study the situation, weigh well his thoughts, for by this method can he only hope to aot for ihe right; let him look back for a space of time and maneuver what have the two old parties been doing for the great mass of people, and then come to the present and see what great to tho fuiure, and what havo they in store for tho suffering millions? Under such class legislation we can hardly hope for a decent living, not even a home of our own; and surely many will be compelled lo give up the hard struggle for life for want of something to cat and something, to wear; their past shows gloomy for the future, it promises nothing but plenty of hard toil and nothing for your labor, it promises robb3ry in tho way of all class rules. They want to dodge your want3 your rights by scaring you with the force bill. Thoy want to dodge your wants by tolling you that tariff reform is what wo need something no two men can agreo upon. If thero woro two hundred Democrats in overy corner of the state's capitol. and fifty for prosident, it would never becomo a law; bettor talk about hatching chickens with a forly-horso gin. Tariff reform is simply a delusive theory to blindfold tho people and keep them under tho kind's command Southern Allianca Farmer. Poor Kulo Won't Work Both Ways. Tom Reed, in a recent speech. made the following statement: "There is another class with whom 1 have no sympathy, and that is the class who desiro to debase the currency for the purposo of pavinsr their debts in a cheaper coin than that in which they had contracted them. These men are willing to ruin tho country for their own temporary benefit" And overy pin-headed Republican editor and political demagogue echoes tho sentiment During and after the war the bonds of the United States were sold to the srold buirs for nreen- backs at an average of 60 cents on the dollar, and those bonds have been made payable in gold by subsequent legislation. What have theio patriots to say about the peoplo beinp re quired by law to pay their debts in a aearcr coinago than that in which they were contracted? It is a poor rule that will not work both ways. Topeka Advocate and Tribune. The (Slant Tree of C.ilifbriili. S. K Holcom, one of the discover ers of the grove of giant sequoias in Fresno county, in what John Muir has denominated the new Yosemite, says no words can describe their grandeur nor the impressions created on tho visitor when beholding them for the first time. "They are tree3 that as tonish and amaze," said he, "and the effect is lasting. It lasts for all time. At least, I do not think I shall ever get rid of the effect which they had on me, nor do I wish to. If to Bry ant such - groves as he saw were temples, what must those be con sidered? I leave all this to tho poets, but there are some points that I doubt not will be of interest to the lumber men. Thero is a tree there with tho astonishing circumference of 127 feet, and a diameter in the narrowest placo of 42 feet, while tho trunk roaches almost 400 feet in the air. Then there are trees there 23 feet through and babies of 12 feet and so on. To see them is an object lesson which carries with it astonishment forever. To stand in their shadow is something worth doing at any cost Could tho lumber men of tho pineries behold them never again could tbey view the ordinary tree, but they would bo Im pressed with tho fact that they were but mere saplings, cuttings set in the ground, and only these."

Something or its History and Future Prospects. Hut a small per cent or business men succeed and to those who fall it is a seven day's wonder how others escape financial disaster. The wonder is mul tiplied many fold to the old line col leges when they see a college without endowment other than energy, ability and experieuco of the management, succeed, and succeed far better than schools heavily endo ed. One school in the west has attracted great attention by its bold aggressive ness in advertising anT and by its wonderful business manage ment. This is tho Western Normal College of Lincoln.

In a few vears without anv finanriin.1 aid, there has been won the confidence 01 many educators of tho west, an hon orable name and fame for the school in lowa and surrounding states, an enroll ment 01 many nundreds of students, the good will of the press of the west, an abiding place in the hearts of thousauds of tho students. Then came tho fire whinh iTs rnvor) the main building, and this was follow ed by splendid offers from forty-seven different cities and lowns to remove the school. The offer from Lincoln of over $200,000 in buildings, grounds, equipments, was accepted. A beauti ful, healthy, sightly location, south west of the city, to be connected by electric street car line, was chosen, the twenty acre campus laid off and work commenced on the magnificent build ings at once The buildings are main building, (a good picture of which is given above) 2G5 feet front by far the largest school building in tho west; steam heating and electric lighting plants, and a water supply system. Cottage dormi tories will be used exclusively, thus making it more homelike for ihe students, and having a cluster of beau tiful two-story cottages surrounding the campus which present a more pleasant view than the dormitories. It is not advertising alone that makes a success of a school. The curriculum must bo broad and compre hensive, the wor k done to bo thor ough and radical and meet the demands of the times, the teachers must be ex perienced and able, the management energetic and progressive, anri im low expenses for the student. inese points are what we have made the Western Normal College such a talked of success. The managers and owner of the school, Win. M. Croan, president; and W. J Kingsley, secretary and treas urer, are leaving nothing undone that will add to the comfort, conveni- nee or welfare of the student.
