At an open meeting of the above
named alliance the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That we earnestly endorse
General Weaver's efforts to establish a
great nationally college at Des Moines,
Iowa, in which shall be established
professorships with the following curri
culum: Land, public utilities and in
antloas, finances, transportation, con
Btltutlonal law, legislation, suffrage,
applied Christianity and public debates.
We pledge our co operation and sup
port so far aa we are able.
Every lover of his country and every
lover of the human race should txnl

ing of Jesus Christ to civil government.
Pour-fifths of his divine teaching as
set forth in the four books of the gospel
had direct reference to the temporal
wants and lightening the burdens of

Plutocracy must not and shall not
lord over Uod's heritage, "tie mat

this is God's fundamental law Inflicted

When all men and women who are
able to render service are put to
work the nation will produce ia three

The clergy of this state and nation
who are preaching "goody goody" and

In pitiless armies into sweating shops
and great factories to wear their little

-The National Alliance Aid"
As adopted by resolution at the last
meeting of the State Alliance is bring
rapidly pushed into all the counties of
the state. What life insurance is to
the Workmen, Woodman, and other
fraternal orders, this is and will be to
the alliance. It is one of the best
methods to reorganize and will do as
much ti hold the alliances together.
An aid degree Is formed in the "alli
ance," and m one except alliance mem
bers can become members. Aid in the
form of life insurance is given to all
members over 18 and under 55 years.
Any man r woman over 55 years can
become an honorary member of thejde
free. A brother can carry a benefit
certificate made payable to his wife or
another. Or he and his wife can make
a joint, cert.flcate payable to t ither at
death, This is a new feattre.DOt com
mona to other fraternal orders. The
cost to carry a benefit with "the Alii
ance Aid" in the average of age, will
probably amount to from (even to nine
dollars per year.
The "Alliance Aid" has in addition
to the death benefit an accident feature.
If a member loses one limb one fourth
of the "benefit is paid;" if he loses two
limbs, either hands or legs, one-half is
paid. For lods of one eye one-fourth is
paia. r or loss of bom tyet one-naif i paid.
The remainder at death.
The "Ailiauce Aid" is now working
in all parts of the nation, and the mem
bers are learning fast the benefits to
themselves, ine order, and its princi
pals are those which all are so deeply
Interested in seeing made the law of the
laud. The scribes and county or
ganizers are requested to study care
fully the instructions and blanks sent
out to guide t'.em in their work. Send
in your wants to W. F. Wright state

amlrhty stride toward human liberty.
The end of the nineteenth century will
not be an exception to that rule.
ing banks are the fellows who insist
that the present financial system is tne
best the world ever saw. It is for
them.
The lefson of the French revolution
ought not to have been in vain. The
oppressors of labor ought to take warn
ing. 13 ut tyranny is ever needless oi a
day of reckoning.
The next revolution in the way ot
progress will be industrial revolution .
It will be the consummation of all
the struggles of the past, the acme of
the efforts toward human liberty.
Mossbacke, old fogies and hypocrites
have always tried to bleck the advance
of reform. They have always stood in
the way of the car of progress. And
they always finally got run over too.
ss
The love of human liberty if left to
take its own course Is harmless. But if
tampered with it ia dangerous. If con
fined it becomes an explosive that will
"raise Cain" when the pressure grows
too strong. Plutocracy should get off
the safety valve.
The Almighty endowed every man
with reason. A great many men don't
show any very alarming symptoms of
it, but he did just the same. He in
tended every man to use that reason,
to think for himself. Think,. act, vote
as you please. Do not let anyone else
dictate to you.
The minds of the great plain people
keep pretty close to the primary stand
ard of right. When the minds of the
leaders, through lust ot power or of
gold, get too far away from that pri
mary standard, then it is that the
masses assert themselves and place new
men at the front.
Labor has beautified this planet.
Labor has covered the earth with tem
ples and happy homes. Labor has car
ried the race forward on the road of
progress. Labor has been the great
lever for the advancement of mankind
And yet labor is clothed in homespun
and rags, w&ue idler dress in oroaa
cloth and roll in ease. Is this right?
There are mutterings of discontent
throughout the world. Even the Orient
Is feeling it. The masses are preparing
for one supreme effort to throw off class
rule. A social cataclysm is coming
Af ler that is over the tollers will be
lifted to their proper sphere as the
true nobility of this world. Then
justice and liberty will come to dwell
among men.
The average man kicks about mon
opoly and hard times for three hundred
and sixty-four days in the year and on
the three hundred and sixty-fifth day
goes to the polls and puts in bis ballot
in favor of both oi tbem. Yes, every
man Is a sovereign iu America, and a
majority of the "sovereigns" are
bandied like putty by tne party doss.
Men, who have brains to think for
themselves and eyes to see into the
future, know that there is an invisible
power that stands on the side of right
and carries it anally forward to success,
The enemies of human liberty may
seem to succeed for a time but when
they meet this power they are swept
aside as autumn leaves before a storm.
One of the rulers of ancient Greece
was confronted by exactly such a situa
tion as the American people are con
fronted by today. Everybody was in
debt ahd trade was stagnant. This
ancient Greek doubled or trebled the
volume of currency. tAnd the result
was unbounded prosperity and happi
ness for a century. This is one more
lesson those wonderful Greeks have
taught us.
In the old days the thief did not show
his face openly. He haunted the high
ways and byways on the borders of
civilization or prowled in unfrequented
parts of the seat He fellon his victims
by night and fled from the pajesty of
the law. Now the thief lives in houses
with brown stone fronts. He is at the
"top of the heap" in society. He haunts
the stock exchange, and the halls of
congress. He is even elected by the
people to hold office. Times have
changed, you see.
Did you ever watch the coming of a
storm? First the faint mutterings and
distant flashes ot light; the marshalling
of the hosts ia the air on the far west
ern horizon; then the rising of the blue
trembling masses through the sky,
acenmpained by gleams and rumblings
while the earth holds its breath; then
the clashing of the elements, the as
sault of the rain, the wind and the hail;
and finally the peace and beauty of the
earth after It has all passed over. Such
li the coming of tho great industrial
revolution.

Some time ago we submitted a propo
sition to help start a state fire company
for those who had no local mutual com
pany. Wo have had some response al
ready and perhaps if those who are
now wanting to organize would oome In
and help to start a state company, they
would help to put a strong company on
its feet, and when any county has mem
b?rs enough in the state company they
could withdraw and rgaalze a county
company of their own.
If any one desires to help along a
good cause and put a company on its
feet that will be purely mutual and not
a money making scheme for a few offi
cers, you should write the editor of
this department stating the amount you
would like to insure in such a company
with the conditions that the articles of
incorporation and bylaws cover the
above idea. In case any one does not
approve of the plan at the time wo have

All the evidence is now in the im

judge of the guilt or innocence of the
impeached officers by the tone of the
press, irrespective of party, they are a
most corrupt set of officials, and are
guilty as charged. Alliance-Herald,

The impeachment trial of the state
officials is drawing to a close. It will
not be many days before the court will
decide how the impeached officers stand
before the Nebraska courts. The evi
dence has shown incompetency, care
lessness and dishonesty on the part of
these men. They should not escape a
just punishment for their shortcomings,
Lexington Clipper.
Nebraska's boodlers are to escape
with a reprimand from the supreme
court instead of impeachment and
punishment- This will not satisfy the
people, who have been robbed of vast
sums of money by the republican ring
of that state. If the indicted officials
are guilty let them be properly punish
ed and not whitewashed by a reprimand.
The independents of Nebraska must
prepare for another sweeping campaign
Keform is needed in the judiciary.
