The address of welcome by Governor Lewellmg was In grand and noble words roachinjr the hearts of all his listeners. "What a striking contrast were his words from those of our past and present governors on similar occasions, as pub lished by the subsidized daily press of Che stato. President Loucks responded in re marks brim full of patriot'sm and thanked to the good people of Topeka and Kansas for the royat reception iven the delegates of the greatest firmxra organization the world has ever known. .

The principles of the Alliance feeing those of co-operation on all lines for mutual benefit, some startling and wonderful facts were learned by the -oooimltu e on the lines of Mutual Life insurance, fire and lightening by states and counties, tornado and hall insur ance, co-opera'lve stores and shipping firms, those of the greatest success and magnitude working under principles very near akin to the celebrated Koch dale system, ahd located in Kansas, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and North 'Carolina, showing conclusively where co-operation on tnese lines is followed on correct business principles they have at all times and places proven a grand success, saviDg to the farmers an ! labor ing classes allready millions of dollars. Now brothers of the Alliance will you wake up to your duties for yourself and family, for the order and for humanity, and get down to business as a citizen of the country, or will you be content to remain the slave of competition, ad jou and your children go down in the night of ignorance and slavery? for no slave wae ever kaown to free himself.

The Morgan tisters of Topeka, whistlin; pit to shame the bestcacaries or mocking birds. The music furnished by the Morgan sisters was simply super t). Speeches, essays and music filling the time to 11 p. m The president announced the name of Mrs. Lease as America's greatest orator Mrs. Lease was greeted ty clapping of hands and cries of welcome that seemed to shake the State House to its founda tions. Well may she or any person be proud of such a reception. The sub sidized press is trying to make it appear that Mrs. Lease is kilting herself, the Alliance and the People's party. But such receptions by her on people give the lie to all they say. She is en throned in the hearts of her own f eo pie, and the best elements, regardless of party, sustain and uphold Mrs Lease. While the vast audience were cheering a number of boys and girls brought from a side room bouquets aud wreaths of the most beautiful iljwers, placing them upon the desk befere her, and amid the cheers of the people and the musio from the piano, Mrs, Lease in plain dress witbout any attempt at vain show or display, humbly bowed her acknowledg ment of the heartfelt love and confid ence of those who knew her best. As an illustration further I might a story unfold where a certain self styled laOoring man's friend, appeared not many days ago at Topeka. Sent there at the instigation of corporation tools at Lin coln and Om-'ha to bring reproach and ruin to Mrs. Lease, and when the citi zens of Topeka got on to h's racket he fonnd discretion the better part ef valor, and to save blsovn neck skipped the city, leaving behind him an unpaid board bill. But to returm from this degression, Airs, iase in well cnosen remarks re- cognlzed the sympathetic love of the people of Topeka and Kansas, and in her speech of half an hour, closed with the grandest appi al to all liberty lov ing men and women to stand firm to our principles as their guiding star to a nobler and better civilization. The meeting closed for the evening, but everywhere were her opponents cha grined and overwhelmed at her recep titn. The writer heard one well dressed g. o. p. remark that he would have to stay away from the Alliance meeting or in spite of h 1 meaning the Republican party he would get converted to the Alliance principles. Mre Lease won her case before the supreme court in Kansas, that court be ing two Republicans and one Populist. The decision being in no sense partisan Governor Lewelling, like all great and go d peop'e, made a bad mistake, and none know it better than he knows it now. Mrs. Lease is upheld by tha masses of the AlHanoe people and the best elements of all classes, regardless of party. Yet Mrs. Lease makes no claim to perf- ctlon. None but Rpub llcan and D mocrntio politicians do, When any man or set of men become perfect it Is time they were translated, and let ordinary mortals run the ship state. For this reason they are rapidly disintegrating and being trans lated to the realms of eternal oblivion, and the hayseeds f Ktnsas are at the front and will keep there. foriurtner information of the pro ceeding of the suprtme eeurcil it Is hoped the reform press of the state will publish matter as fat as furnished by the national secretary.

WITH UUIt A aUCfOWlR, USt Peach Craning la Kebraaksu The experience of tte lat-t fifteen years has made a marked change in the accepted methods for suucesf ally grow log peaches in Nebraska, Formerly the impression was current that pach trees needed sheltered sutrty locations: tbey were placed on bottom land, not infrequently sheltered from the north and west and sunny hill sides, with the result that they suffered more from growing too late in the season and the starting of the tan In mid-winter or too early in the spring than could have posstbly hsppened from bleak exposure to north wind or cold. It has also been demonstrated that the peach by proper selecion and handling can be accilmat ed as far north as Muscatine Iowa and will withstand more than 25 degrees below zero under proper conditions and circumstances. In the planting of bud ded peaches, too large a proportion were planted from varieties tbt were found successful In the est and south i s .a ... issieaa oi selecting suca varieties as are particularly hardy in the fruit bud To Illustrate, the Early Carwford has been freely planted because the fruit is very satisfactory lo quality, not knowing that the variety is comparetivtly tn der In fruit bud. Varieties of peaches no hardier in fruit bad than the Caw- ford should not be planted InNebraxka It should also be borne In mind that our orcbardlsts who are constantly experimenting and studying this sub ject in all its bearings have ascertained that quite a number of the varieties will withstand from 22 to 25, and occas ionally 30 degrees below zero without lost of crop. Aleo that the peacb tree in bloom wlths'and, more cold often tlnu s than the apple. That the great est danger to the peach crop is first, the range of temperature in the winter bo low as to dt-s roy the fruit bud, and secon 1, going into winter wl h the ground so dry as to suffer from lack of moisture. Our most successful orcbardlsts now plant their commercial orchard "n high ground and northerly slope without windbreak from the north and west Benefit is gained from a south wind break. Woatever tends to kep the trees dormant through the winter till spring is fairly opened is beneficial Should the trees under suany shelter and warm exp"sures have a prem iture flow of sap slightly expanding In fruit buds, a comparatively slight degree of subsequent cold will destroy the buds. Experience has d -moastrated that in the evolution of varieties from seed lings which comes from jnd clous culti vutlon, varieties are brought out much hardier in fruit bud than the average seedling. Among these are the follow ing varieties named nearly In the order of ripening : Alexander, Hales Erly, Cooledgestavorlte, Hi i's Chilli, Smock Wager, Heath Cling and Sal way. The approved method for commercial peach orcharding now is to select high land; became the thersometer drops lower In cold nights on low ltnd than oi high land; trees ripen earlier on high ground particularly where on northerly slopes. It has been discovered thut the ques'ion of moisture bere In Neb ak a n orchard management is of the firt Im portance. To gain his trees shou d be piloted 18 feet apart each way and cul tivtted from ihe first to the middle of May to a-least the 15th of August or later ab iut once in ten davs with sur face cultivttlng tools like the dick cultivator, keeping the surface at all times lo 'se and mallow that It may re tain moisture and that weds are not allowed to grow in the fall to dissipate the moisture needed for th proper wintering of the trees. Again it has been found that where the temperature drops so low or tae conditions are so unfavorable as to kill most of the weed of tha trees that succeeding thore cul'l vaUon will put new healthy wood ever and about the damaged wood and the tree very likely go forward to useful work. At tie recent state meet leg of the HertlculUral Society Mr Ruasell of Wy mora showed sections of acb wooa from tree ten to leurtoen years oid, shewlig- that where the wood had brn sertoaaly damaged three year In succession, succeeding good cultivation bad pet on such growth as to give an Inch or two of live wood and that the trees promised a gooi rop th comlag year.
