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.

'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.

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." San Fran

WK STERN NORMAL COLLEGE
Lincoln Nebraska. A Famous School
In a New Location. 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.

MAIN BUILDING 256 FEET FRONT.
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.
No doubt catalogues, circulars and
any desired information will bo fur
