Country Life.
(At the annual meeting of the Pat
rons of Husbandry, just held at Syra
cuse, New York, Eva E Page, Steward
of the National Grange, read a report
(her own) which contains so many fine
thoughts expressed with such literary
art, and which holds up to Americas
farmers such an attract! re conception
of what farm life with all its natural
advantages may be lifted to, that we re
- print it below for our readers: Editor
Alliance-Inpepemdent
Worthy Master and Patrons:
Again we meet to greet one another
and to give an account of our steward
ship. The achievements of another year
hare been added to the roll of centuries
Every profession has helped In the on
ward march of the world's progress has
received new light from the ingenuity
of man. All nations stand higher today
and are united in a closer bond of broth
erhood than ever before. The agricul
turalist Is not behind in this general
wakening of intellect. His held of
labor Is expanding in every direction;
Into the mountain valley, along the
winding river and over the arid wastes.
Where the desert blast has hitherto
lighted and scorched the scanty vege
tation, art.ficlal rivers of water have
fructified the land and now gorgeous
grain palaces exhibit the wealth of the
husbandman. The Columbian exhibi
tion at Chicago has given the farmers a
TTJtJti' Agricultural j
m-s-. ', u horticultural hall and the
various State buildings make the grand
est display from field, orchard and gar
den the world has ever seen. The effort
to improve the size, 'quality ana beauty
of our farm products have produced
inch encoursg? results that both con
tinents look on with amaaement. These
facts are of universal Interest, since
three-fourths of our population are liv
(if ing in the country and the other fourth
get their subsistence from the farm.
Many books have been written, and
orators have grown eloquent concern
ing rural life, and all are highly In favor
of tbe American farm as the best place
for ths most , natural human develop-
. ment. We need upon the farm more
thoroughbred stock, more beautiful
flowers and luscious fruits; but the
great end to be accomplished Is a pro
duction of men and women of the high
est quality.
A country is good or bad jnst in pro
portion to the quality of Its inhabitants.
The surroundings and conditions most
favorable to the growth of the soil are
those sought after by all intelligent
minds.
Does the country furnish conditions
lor the highest development of human
beings? When the physician advises
his patient to seek a healthy locality,
he directs him to the country. When
the busy merchant longs for rest, he
finds it In tbe forest and field. When
the poet wishes to feel the thrill of the
muse, he wanders over the hills and
listens to the songs of the wild birds
The artist, when he yearns to drink in
the wonders of a sunset sky silently
strolls across undulating meadows
where he finds uninterrupted view.
Many successful men and women of
every calling, leaders In professional
and social life spent their early days
upon farms where they received the In
fluences to which their later success Is
largely due. The merchant, tho manu
facturer and the teacher point back to
the farm as the place where they learn
ed their economy and gained their
energy.
The greatest statesmen, thinkers and
divines gladly look back to the associa
Hon of flocks and herds and growing
fields as the nurse of their most unsal
fish desires and wholesome ambitions.
In our beloved Republic the men wbo
have made the most lasting impressions
and who were the leaders of new and
progressive epochs, were nurtured in
body and soul amid the rustling corn
ard waving grain. There is a reason
for this. In the country development
iis natural. Among the trees and grow
Ing plants all shams are out of place
Men look at thlnsrs as they are rather
than as they appear to bs, and are in
spired themselves to be, rather than to
seem.

k Each one pursues his work In
dem dently according to his will, and
thei eby cultivate a happy individuality
. 'Ontln the fresh air, under the quiet
sky, amid the beauty of the landscape
everything contributes to tho farmer's
trut development.

The farmers environment is m-de fa
vorable to a many sided development,
and when the child of a P. of H.
who has studied the Grange platform
and got himself properly onto it, go
away to school or college, they are pre
pared by the influence of tho farm life
to acquire knowledge in a real and
practical way. They know where
things come from and appreciate the
amount of labor it takes to raise a crop
or aooomplish a useful deed.
It must be acknowledged that too
many farmers shut their eyes to their
many advantages. Too many fail to
reach out their hands for the gifts
which nature offers. Abs3rbed in sor
did efforts for mere material gain, they
too often, like Esau, sell their birthright
for a morsel of pottage..
Farmers generally need to be aroused
to the realities of their golden opportu
nities, and need to make more of
their nnparallelled situation. Farmers
should train their children to observe
nature, to see Its beauty and sublimity,
should stimulate them to scientific
study and investigation. Literature of
the best sort should always be found in
the farmers' homes, and in every way
possible provisions should be made for
Intellectual culture.
They should neglect no chance of con
necting themselves with a ,gJu"filTe
grange and ot ptronft',OVLr st
schools . We are only ad vanced by pro v-
Ing ourselves greater than the position
we occupy, The signs of the times In
dicate that the youth of our land will
be called upon to bear responsibilities
even greater than our own. Let each
of us do our part la fitting the rising
generation for nobly living and acting.
Concerning Farmers Insurance.
Editok Alliance-Independent:
Looking over the proceedings of last
state Alliance, 1 find resolutions adopt
ed touching farmers insurance which I
believe to be right. It Is certainly be
hind the times, to Insure property so
safe and detached as farm houses and
barns lu the old line stock companies.
Why will farmers persist In sending
their money out of their county and the
state, when we can tret the very best
insurance on tbe mutual plan for less
than one-fourth of their charge?.
Farmers in this county are not doing
much toward paying the great dividends
of insurance stock holders, or the ex
travagant salaries of officers and com
missions oi agents. The state Alliance
resolved that farmers in every county
should organize mutual fire and light
ning insurance companies. Richardson
county farmers organized in 1887. We
now have a membership of 348, holding
polices for over $500,000.00, and we
never yet had an agent in the field
day. There is never a week but what
we gain new members, and bankers,
merchants and city people generally,
are insuring their farm buildings with
us. Our total lofses on all this risk
since beginning, is 155.25.
It needs no proof that our old mem
bers are all sticking to the company
The men in our company would have
paid out about $12,000.00 more for in
surance than they did since 1887, if we
had not organized. We have members
who paid as high as $175.00 for 5 years
insurance, but now they pay us from ten
to fifteen dollars, and small farmers
much less. There Is no need to rate
farmers longer, In any part of the state.
Get together and organize.
The state AUianoe also recommends
that safe and cheap cyclone Insurance
can best be found with The Mutual
State Cyclone company of Lincoln, J,
Y. M. Swigart, manager. This compa
ny is the result of the fostering kind'
ness of executive committee of state
Alliance for some years. It was not
thought best to have a storm company
confined to so small a territory as
county fire company, hence the demand
seemed to be for a cyclone company
covering all Nebraska. This, like
mutual fire oompanies, cannot Insure in
cities or villages. Many In this county
are insuring in this storm oompany
A neighbor had a valuable building
demolished last August, and received
his insurance money from this company
without delay.
I like this mutual plan of oil-operation
in many things, especially in a matter
so easily comprehended and managed
as farm insurance Take a very small
per oent. from members when they join
the company and get their pollclos, and
trust them to keep the bulk of It, until
low ha occurred; then collect by pro
rata assessment At the next session
of the state Alliance, thtro will be an
open publlo meeting, free for every
body, where the subject of mutual In
auranco will be thoroughly dUcu d
and to which all interested In tho sub
jct are heartily Invited. Every wre

This, I understand, is the practice which hat
for a lone time prevailed in the pension
bureau, but afutr entering upon these recent
investigation the commissioner modified tula
rule so as not to allow until after a complete
examination interference with tbe pvm-'nt or
pension apparently not altogether void but
which merely had been nxed at a rate hl2hr
than that authorized by law. I am unable to
understand why frauds in the pension roll
should not be exposed and corrected with
thoroughness and vi'or fcvery n tine fraudu
lently put upon the- rolls is a wicked Im
position upon the kindly sentiment in which
pensions have their ori-in. Kverv

perjuy more common ana false and umitnerv
in pensioners rob the people not only of their
money, but of the patriotic sentiment which

fraudulent pern loners and recent develop
ments by the bure iu establish apnaUiu con
spiruies to establish pension fraud. Ily no
means the least wromr done is to brave and
deserving pensioners, who surely on ht not to
be condemned to such associations.
Those who attempt in the line of duty to no

enmity or indifference to tbe claims of honest
veterans

Discrl nlnatiug Cars Urged In Adjus
Untie lu the New TasJlT Hill, '
Economy in public expenditure Is a duly
that cannot innocently be no lected by those
entrusted with tbe control of monsy drawn
from the people for publlo uses. It must be
confessed that our apparently endless re
source the familiarity of our people with Im
mense a.cumulutlons of wealth, the rowing
entinient among them that the expenditure
of public money should In some niauuer be to
their immediate and personal advantage, tbe
Indirect and almost stealthy manner In which
a large part of our taxes are exacted and a de
generated sense of official accountability have
led to growing extravagance In governmental
appropriations ,
At this time when a depleted publlo treasury
confronts us, when many of our people are
engaged In a hard struggle for tbe necessaries
of life, and when forced economy Is pressing
upon th't great masses of oar ceuctryinnn, I
desire to ure with all the earnestness at my
commund that congressional legislation be so
limited by strict economy as to exhibit an ap
preciation of the conduct of the treasury and
a sympathy with the straitened circumstances
of our fellow citizens. Tbe duty of nubile
economy is uiso of immense Importance lu its
Intimate und necessary relation to the task
now in band of providing revenue to meet
lovernmeat exoendltures and yet reducing the
people s burden of roderal taxation
Alter a naru struggle varin reiorm is uireci-
ly before us. Nothing ho Important claims
our attention and nothing so clearly presents
Itself as both an opportunity and a duty an
opportunity to deserve the gratitude of our
follow citizen and a duty imposed upon us by
our oft repeated professions and by the etn-
ntiatic mandate oi tne people After run dis
cussion our oountrvmen have spoken in favor
of this reform aud thoy have confided the
work of its accomplishment to tbe bands of
those who are solemnly pledged to I.
If there is an v thin in the theory or a
representation In publlo places of the people
sua their desires, t public officer are really
servants of the people, and If political
promises and professions hive any binding
force our failure to give the relief so b ng
awaited will be sheer recreancy. Nothing
should Interfere to distract our attlentlon or
disturb our effort until this reform is ao
comnlished by wise and careful legislation
While re should staunchly adhere to the
principle that only the necessity of rovenue
lusiilies the imposition ot tariff duties and
other federal taxation and that they should
be limited by strict economy, we cannot close
our eyes to the fact that conditions have
crown up among us which in Justice and firm;
ness call lor discriminating care in a strtuu
tion of such duties and taxation as the
emergencies of our government actually
dem i ud.
Manifestly If we are to aid the people direct
ly through t j riff roform one ot its most obvious
features should be a reduction in present tariff
charges upon tbe ceoessurlos of lire. Tne
benefits of such a reduction would be palpable
and subat mtially seen and felt by thousands
wbo would be better fed and better clothed
and better sheltered These gifts should be
tho willing benefactions of a government
whose hi. best function Is the promotion of
tbe welfare of tbe people. Not less closely
related to our people's prosperity and well
being Is the removal of restrictions upon tbe
Importation of tbe raw materials necessary to
our manractures The world snouiu be open
to our national ingenuity and enterprise
This cannot be while roderal legislation
through the luiixmltlon of high tariff forbids
to American manufacturers as cheap materl
als us those used by their comiietitors. It is
auite obvious that the enhancement of the
price or our manufactured products resulting
from this poli. y uot only con 11 lies the market
for tin mb products without our own bodies to
tbe direct d sadvantae of our Imadufacturers
bin ;ijo increase tiunr cost to our citizen
The mii-rcsts of labor are certainly, though
itullrot'ily Involved in this leature of our
tariff system The sharp competi
tion uii.t active struggle among our
tn iniifacturers to supply the limited detnuud
lor their goods soon till tbe narrow market to
which thoy are common. Then follow a sua
pension oi work In mills and factories, a dis
charge ot employes aud distress in the home
of our workup tatia. Kvnn if tho rtn dis
proved iisserliou could lie made good that a
lower rate of waves would result from fnm
r iw m ttenais and low t.ir.n duties, the intent
