Uii : : . | The people of Ashland have been
looking forward with considerable Interest to *
the meetingot the fanners of Cuss , Harpy
mid Siiundors counties , which took place last
Saturday. Hon. T. J. Picket and others of
inir business men had paid for the Slnlngtort
opera hall in which to hold their meeting.
Before ! ) o'clock the streets were almost
c-rowded , nbout which time two cars heaping
full < -umo from Wuhoo , and In marching from
the depot the long line was led by .Judge Tur-
penlng and Editor Smith , both of whom seem
to bo held In high esteem by the farmers. At
10 o'clock the alliances held n secret session
mid it Is understood transacted some
important business , though not yel
inside known. In the afternoon
nbout 2 o'clock General Weaver delivered
ono of Ills characteristic strong speeches to
all that could crowd Into Sinnnington's
npi-rii house about six hundred only u
mnall per cent of the limners and other
men In the city. General Weaver made
the assertion that the farmers were
alToctcd with a money famine. The cause of
HO much clamoring on the part of agricultural
districts is not over-production , but the
present price of farm products which would
not enable them to pay debts contracted
honestly. Political philosophers -during
campaign times had told the farmer that he
had nothing to sell was the reason of such
bard times , and nt this the farmer sot about
raising n largo crop last year. Whim
ho i the farmer ) hauled his crop to market ho
was confronted with the scandalously low
price. Thereupon ho queried his political
light as to the cause , and ho told them it was
' over production. " "It is n farce , u scnru-
i-row , " said General Weaver. Ho concluded
that the cause was the inadequacy of the cur- i
reney. Consulting the olllcial report of the
year 18i7 ( with that of this year , ho found that l
hi 18117 , with n population of one-half the
present population of the United Stutes.thore
was double thu number of dollars in circula
tion that there is now. Ho compared the
government to a family. If In 1M > 7 , with
only two in the family , would it not take less
.Sidney tu defray expenses contracted than it
srlJl in 1MKJ , after an Increase of six or clghtf
So it is with Uncle Sam's family of IW,000HI. ( ) (
The money in circulation in the United Slates
today it ) insulllricnt to the demand. Dur
ing the war money was gathered in the
north which made inoro per capita than Im
mediately preceding the war. Southern
hlalcs rejected thu money of the north be-
t-auso they hud money of their own ; hence
the cause of high corn and wheat. What the
people now want i.s the unlimited coinage of
silver ; suppression of the national hanking
system and giving the money entrusted to
the banks back to the people. Ho also cm-
phasi/ed the policy of the alliance to nominate
good , holiest men. Men who , as congress
men , would not caucus with any party or
clique. Men who consider the interests of
their constituents llrst , and not party fealty
or adhotcncc. General Weaver ended his
speech amidst a storm of applause , when ho
declared that ho had learned two facts in his
public life , viz : That lie does not know it all.
Second , that men of other parties are just us
honest us lie.
it was interesting to listen to the groups of
farmers talking on the streets. The princi
pal topic of discussion was the vlsdtmi of
pulling an alliance ticket in the Hold next
lull. They appear to bo much divided on this
question. A largo number who did the talk
ing on thu streets favored a .separate and
straight alliance ticket. Others think it will
bo more wise to makademandsei' the parlies.
A great many believe" the republican Jjarty
w'Uio'lirrntitiicsY'uiui , ihtleed. our politicians
offer to lend their aid to the farmers in mak
ing up the list. They have not a shadow of a
doubt in regard to their being ublo to control
every party. Most of them have verv liltlw
ronlidonco in the outside prolTored help.
They are , as a rule , alitllo suspicious of till
but farmers. Wo noticed that the more in
telligent men , us n rule , do not go so far to the
extreme , and , whiloaceomplishhig their ends ,
work harmoniously with men of of other call
ings in their party. Some are alruid of Gov
ernor Tlmyer , others of Attornev General
Loese. In fact some ono was really to Hud
fault with every man whosonamo was-men-
tionetl. You will Hud Unit farmers , like
other people , differ quite widely in their
opinions ,
.Farmers have various views also regarding
this bpcelal session. The line board is a
farmers' organi/ution closely allied to the
Farmers' Alliance in its objects and opera
tions. Jthcems to htivo its objects more
closely defined and its workings am less gen
erally known. Its members usually refuse
to speak of the growth of the order , or of its
origin. Even the members are Innocent in
regard to the number of lodges. Ills quite
cortulnliowovertlint its bninchcsnro confined
to two or thrco counties. Some of its mem
bers are believers in canalization and Indeed
it is nearly uvident that It hud Us origin in
the labor movement and some labor inun muv
bo nt its head. It is educatiomil. No attempt
is imulo to [ get largo numbers into their
lodges. From six to twelve is a .suftleient
number , as these nro to form a class for
study. The subjects for study nro currency ,
labor , laws and political economy In general.
From the views stated bv one of its members
It might bo taken that Its real object is to
bring about equalization of liberty and prop
erty From another stand point it Is gathered
Unit it is u boiled down Farmers' alliance ,
with n dellnito object of obtaining legislation
for the farmer. You will Hnd very few of
them in favor of placing tin alll.
unco ticket In the Held. Thov will
work to control the two great parties.
From numerous interviews your correspond
ent concludes that It Is u vary secret organiza
tion , tlmt it has very dellnito ends in view ,
that It Is youim mid not widespread , and that
unless the alliance outlines her work and
nim more definitely it will Increase raphllv.
There are some mysteries connected witli ft ,
but perhaps those are to mislead outsiders.
Detectives have boon at work to learn their
.sm-ot workings , which furnUhes only
amusement for the line board. But nsldo
from the mysteries In regard to equality , the
oristn of the organkutlon und Its growth , it
appeal's to bo Just the thing us oao expressed
it , having which the alliance- has never hud u
veal and definite object and n method of work
to reach the object , und whllo it is thought
mnnll It will have tin inlluenco on next fall's
oloctlon. 'i'ho alliance men realize that they
nro to derive iioro good than harm from the
line boards , so cucoiuiigo the enterprise
rather than dlseouivgo u. Many belong-to
both organisations.

A Silver Crook Opinion.
Sn.VKti CIIBKK , Ncb.i.Mny 23. [ Special to
Tin : Br.r : . ) The late anti-monopoly repub
lican conference did well th declaring for an
early convention , though f doubt the wisdom
of the Instructions to the committee of fifteen
to call a convention of their own in case of
the failure of the state central commltteo to
cull the regular convention nt nn curly date.
If the farmers of the state were not largely
represented at the conference , It does not fol
low that it was for lack of lnterc.it. If an
early convention Is called ni il candidates
placed in the field whose records and charac
ters ran stand the fire of a long campaign I
believe our ticket will bo triumphantly
elected. Republican farmers , whether in the
ulliunco or not , will , I believe , very generally
support such a ticket.
1 f the Htato central commltteo prefer party
defeat to party success without the railroads
tlmy will do well to disregard the wishes of
the conference.
1 think there can bo no doubt that the.
farmers of the stuto do.slro the election of u
legislature that will enact n maximum freight
law , and that therefore the resolution of thu
conference on that point will meet with gen
eral approval.
President. I'owi-rrf at Onl ,
Om > , Neb. , May i . [ Special to TUB BBK. ]
John H. Powers , president of the Nebraska
State Farmers' alliance , gave the members of
the Valley county alliance n stirring address
Thursday afternoon. He mentioned a few of
the objective points of the alliance move
ment. We must have lower railroad rates ,
or , said the speaker , the alliance will advo
cate and work for government ownership and
control of the railroads , and "we won't p.iy
for water either. " Another object was the
suppression of trusts and the estab
lishment of co-operative stores for
the sale of farm machinery , groceries , etc.
The speaker did not advocate a farmers'
partv , but advised strong and united effort
on tile part of farmers in the parties to which
they now belong to secure in public oftlco
honest and capable representatives of Urn
farmers' interests.
The alliance in Valley county bus thirteen
subordinate brum-hcs , with a membership of
about live hundred. The farmers have not
taken o great uoul of interest in alliance af
fairs so far , but such addresses will doubtless
develop mtorest in them.

ance of Johnson county speak very favorably
of the action taken by the anti-republican
conference at Lincoln and see no good reason
why they won't support the nominees of the

principles enunciated by thu conference. Jf
the conference hud advocated the free coinage -
ago of silver and the abolition of the national
bunks a number of the members of the ulli-

There are twenty sub-alliances regularly
organized in Nuokolls county and having nn
average of twenty-live members each , says
the Superior Journal. To say that such iin
organization will not cut n conspicuous swuih
in county und state politics , is of course utfer
nonsense. Tii.it the organization will do" this
within the party lines to which the members
belong , is , wo learn , that which they wish to
do , but if they do uotsm'ccoil there , they will
take separate party actions. That tluiv can
do It within the present party lines Is sure , If
nllthese thousands of real farmers through
out the state will do that which they liuve
always heretofore neglected to do that Is ,
attend the primary conventions und caucuses.
That Is whore the work Is done.

City Laundry VH Lincoln.
The City Steam Laundry team and the Lin
coln Giants met nt the West park yesterday
afternoon and the game they put up wus ono
of the very flnest seen in Omaha this season.
Tlio crowd in attendance was something
like twelve hundred or thereabouts and their
enthusiasm over the good work of both teams
was unbounded.
The Lincoln Giants , as is probably gener
ally known , Is composed of colored men ani
it is safe to say there isn't n stronger amateur
team in the whole western country. The
battery work of Keeves and Muupins was cs-
pecinlly fine , Mauplns being one of the
swiftest anil most accurate throwers seen
here this year.
In the City Steams Manager Bert Wilkins
lias tin aggregation ho may well feel proud of.
Every one of them Is a ball player , und
Hurt , who did the twirling yesterday.
Is the equal of two-thirds .of the
[ litchcrs InJ the Western association.
1'he big colored sluggers from the capital
only managed to scratch out thrco little
pearly hits oil'of him. His loose Holding in
i measure marred his par-ojcccllont work in
the box. Llnahan also played well behind
thu plate , and evidently has the stuff in him
for a llrst class backstop. But the score will
better tell the tale of the superb battle :

Rov. P. S. Merrill of Iho First MethodUt
church lectured last night on n subject which
had been nnnounccd ns "Tim Donnvln , or n
more wonderful posprl tcmperanco triumph
than Francis Murphy. "
As au introduction to the evening's dis
course Mr. Merrill said ho hud n story to tell
which would show u triumph over whisky
and the devil , greater thnu that of Francis
Murphy. Ho lind heard Murphy's story from
his own lips , having known him intimately
for several years , und had also heard the
story from Captain Sturtovuut , the man
through whoso efforts Alurpby bad been
saved. The story he was bo ut to tell , ho
said , could bo substantiated In every detail
by n number of reliable people.
In IS'it. while ho was ntutloned In Philadel
phia , with hi * llrsl charge , ho held a series of
revival meetings. Every Tuesday evening
was llxed upon for holding experience meet
ings. At one of these meetings there up-
jK-ared n drunken , nigged , blear-eyed. Illthy
vagabond whonroso iu I'luseal ' and uddrcssed
thu meeting in n niauinin voice. He said his
wlfo was dying in their miserable home , and
lie hud seen Mr. Merrill there during the day
praying with her. 1 io had started out for
ono more drink but hU bund trembled so ho
could not carry the glass to his lips , and ho
heard a voice saying if ho drunk it ho would
bo n dead num. He had left
the liquor and had wandered into
the meeting. He appealed to the pastor
not to put him out or have
him arrested. He wus led to the altar und
the congregation prayed for him. He said ho
experienced a change and solemnly promised
never to drink again. Tlio next night ho ad
dressed Iho congregation , telling tlio story of
his life , nnd said ho was sure ho would never
touch liquor again. His wife recovered her
health and the husband wept to work again.
Thev soon had a homo and were prosperous
the balance of their days.
Mr. Men-Ill closed Ids dNrourse by saying
Unit the grace of God could -save drunkards ,
but the saloons nmdo ninety-nine drunkards
while the people were saving one. He said
tlio only salvation of tbo people from this
curse wus to vote for prohibition , which ho
hoped everyone would do.
