A Steady Growth llcpnrtcd From

Co-Opcrutlvo
Sii.vnn Cnnr.K , Nob. , Juno 1. To llio
editor of Tur : Uii : : : In the current number at
The Fanners' Alliance , published by J. Bur-
Vows of Lincoln , Unit gentleman proceeds to
nnnlhllnto niu in the following manner. I
quote Uio iirticlo untlro in order to give It
itomo currency among tbo farmers of Uio
iInto :
"Tin : JJir : : In its efforts to obtain corres
pondence ntlvcrso to the Alliance nnd its
officers , is now filling Its columns with n lot
of slush combined with Insults to President
Powers unit others , from n fellow in Mcrrlck
county who was bounced from the
position of county organizer on the
recommendation of the Morrlck county nlll-
iiuco , utid who has probably entirely sovurcd
his connection with the alliance since Unit
time. TIM : HII : : Isn't improving Its nllliinco
connections In Merridc county by giving Its
editorial page to spread slanders against
President Powers. "
If Mr Burrows was nblo to ill vest himself
of the idea Unit ho is the alliance ho would
lie ublo to see , if ho had sulllelent honesty ,
thut ncitlii'r Tin ; HIR : nor your humble cor
respondent bus said anything adverse to the
.iiUinneo. . His statement in regard to my
being "bounced" is false. I held
n commission ns county organ
izer , which was of full foiro and effect until
January I , 1V.K ) , and expired by its own
limitation. As I am only n private Individual
llio public will not bo interested in a further
xlUoussion ol' this matter at this time.
As regards President Powers , I stilted the
truth. Truths arc not slanders.
With the permission of Tin : Bnn. I will
jiow treat Mr. Burrows to soniomoro "slush"
find since I am only n "fellow. " and ho u ilno-
[ haired gentleman , perhaps ho will now kindly
ignore mo personally , leaving mo to mat
uiiodest obscurity which ho seeks for
fills "people's committee , " and here-
[ lifter attend only to the "slush. "
Uf ho relishes that kind of diet perhaps ho
ijmiy get a stomach full in what follows.
In former articles I have had occasion to
indulge In some criticisms of Mr. J. Burrows
jt > f a not altogether complimentary character.
If these criticisms were Just , it was not only
ijny right , but my duty to my brethren of Uio
nllliinco to niako them. If this man who ns-
Mimcs the dictatorship of the alliance and
constituto. ) himself the Moses to lead the
farmers out of the wilderness of political
rascality to the promised land of political
purity is himself but a usurping , egotistical
iiutocrut , It is proper that they should
know it. Thousands of them have but re
cently joined the alliance , while others scorn
disposed heedlessly to follow thosowho howl
loudest against the abuses of our time and
nro apt to talco it for granted that ho who
plumes his wings as an angel , and masquer
ades before them in the garb of a saint , Is
necessarily a paragon of virtue.
Mr Burrows declaims against monopolists.
Ho himself is a monopolist. In the leader
ship of the alliance ho hits a monopoly of the
brains. For that I give him full
credit. Ho is the head center. Un
doubtedly lliero nro ninny nblo men In the
alliance , but an yet they have not como to the
front.
In a former article I referred to Mr. Bur
rows as being n usurper of authority. I will
now make good my words by a brief state
ment of facts hi reference to only one of his
olllcial acts among many of liko'nnturo.
The National alliance last met at St. Louis
on December ; ! . The Southern alliance con
vened there at the same time , and it was ex
pected that they would there form an
union , including , perhaps nUo , the Knights
of Labor , thus making a combination of
voters which would bo all-powerful in politics
nnd soon assume absolute control of the gov
ernment. Mr. Burrows , In the alliance of
September 21,1 think it was , spoke of this
meeting In tli . most glowing terms , repre
senting that to have a seat In that important
assembly would bo an honor of the first mag
nitude. But constitutionally our state
nllianco would not meet until the ilrst
Wednesday in January following. How
then wore the delegates from No-
rlmiskn to bo appointed , .sinco our state
nllliineo alone hnil authority to cheese them !
Section I of article i ! of our state constitution
provides that "tho president , secretary nnd
( executive committee may change the date of
the annual meeting for special reasons for
nny one year. "
This provision afforded a perfect solution
of the dinieulty. The date of the meeting of
the state alliance could have been changed to
homo day in November and the delegate * law
fully elected , but this wis ; not done. What
was done ? There wag perpetrated an act of
tyranny and usurpation of author
ity without ono mitigating circum
stance , perhaps without parallel in the his
tory of free governments and rarely if ever
paralleled in the history of the democratic or
republican parties. Even emperors and czars
lire governed by law , but the ofileinls of our
state alliance are above all law. Our state
executive committee , without the least
earthly .shadow of authority , direct or im
plied , themselves appointed those delegates.
Mr , Durrows was chairman of that executive
committee and also president of the national
nllianco to which these mado-to-ordcr dolo-
teatcn were accredited. What was Mr. Bur-
Yowa' motive ) Did ho aspire to bo
Mu-osident of that vast organization that
was to be , and want a delegation which
ho could rely enl I do not know. Ho got
liothlng of the sort , but instead lost two
states Dakota and Kansas ana came homo
disgruntled and soured. I will bo Just to
ward Mr. Burrows. Ho must needs have
Homo excuse for such a high-handed outrage.
What was itl Mr. Burrows' bowels of com
passion yearned for the poor farmer and bo
could not endure the thought that ono out of
every forty or Ufty otthem should bo obliged
to leave his corn husking nlul rest Uis sere
liands for a day or two in going as a dele
gate to the state alliance , as would bo neces
sary If the dates were changed [ See
Alliance of Sep. ai , Ibb' ' . ) . ] Only this and
nothing more. What transcendent level
Farmers of Nebraska , behold in Jay Bur
rows your political Moses 1
Mr. Burrows declaims against the old pnr-
r-r-tics , and "g-o-p" is n sweet morsel under
his tongue. Lot us Imagine a "deadly par
allel" to the performance of that gentleman
as Just recounted und suppose that tlus repub
lican state central committee , which meets
Juno , should say : "Tho fanners of the state
nro very busy with their crops ; they nro in
debt ; wo will save them the trouble and ox-
jwnsoof a state convention , " ami should
then proceed to place in nomination a
full state ticket. It would not bo submitted
to for mi Instant by the republicans of the
Btato nnd every ono In nny wav responsible ,
for the art would bo consigned to eternal po
litical death and everlasting contempt.
Hopubllcan brothers of the alliance , how
flo you relish the parallel ! Are you now
ready to follow this Moses Into the peoples'
party , and so help to down the hated "g o

Otoo County'H Alliances ,

to TUB BEK. ] The alliance in
OUw county is growing steadily each week ,
And it Is estimated that by November nearly
o'/ory eiiKiuio inrmer In the county will bo u
member of the organization. It has been
claimed that the alliance. In this county is too
weak to cut n figure In polities , but un In-
Xestlgntlon demonstrates the error of the as-
Bortion. The simple fuel that there U a lack
. of noise about the organization doci not do-
aiolo weakness. Its importuiico nt least is
trecoguized by local politicians , us a number of
[ their political wirepullers have made fro-
louent but unsuccessful attempts to get on

juomber of the alliance made Uio statement
that a number of such applications for mom-
Ixutthip iiro rejected ut every mcotiug.

TucuMscir. Nob. , May 31. [ Special to Tun
BKK. ] The question , "How will this 'special
session of the legislature effect the alliance 1"
has been asked by many. Prom several alli
ance men wo have received tbo reply. They
seem to think the same goad could bo accom
plished at the next regular session , nnd us the
farmers have sold nil their gi iin nnd stock
that will bo shipped until after this fall , there
can bo no great good derived from it.

officers and other important business will
rome up. The address by ex-Senator Van
Wyck , which was to have boon delivered at
that time , has been postponed to some more
convenient time on account of the largo
amount of business that is to bo transacted.
Says the IIowclls Journal : Last Saturday
the farmers of this county orguni/cd a
county nllianco at Schuylor. The meeting
was very largely attended and much Interest
was manifested. The fnrnura seem to hnvo
organized with a determination to accomplish
much good. Farmers of all palitical parties
have Joined tha alliance and they propose * to
work in harmony. The railroad question is
what the fanners sf Nebraska are most inter
ested in , nnd it should bo the main object of
the alliance to secure the reduction of freight
rates in this state. The Journal wishes the
nllianco in this county all possible success.
Wo trust thnt they will not allow themselves
to bo run by any "Cheap John" politicians ,
who have no Interest in common with the
farmers.
11KASS fllULU MEDICINE.
A Clilne.se Cure That is .Simpler Than
Patent Drims ol' Civilization.
A traveler recently returned from
Pelting snys that ho saw there a peculiar
method of cure. In u temple outside one
of the eltv gates is to bo found a brass
mule of life size supposed lo have won
derful healing properties. Pationls suf
fering from every imaginable disease
seek this temple to obtain cure.
The method pursued is as follows : Sup
pose you suffer from sciatica , you go
with all speed lo Ibis famous loniplo ,
and , having discovered the particular
part of the brass mule corresponding to
the painful region of your own body , you
must rub the animal u certain number
of times and then with the same hand
shampoo your own disabled member , and
then well , then the pain goes.
The special feature of this method of
cure is its delightful simplicity. Is your
tooth achlngV Just scrub the mule's
teeth and nftorward your own , * and
volliil the cure is complete. Have you
nil ulcer of the cornea ? Pass the tips of
your lingers to and fro over the particu
lar eyeball of the mule , and then with
well regulated pressure rub repeatedly
Iho allllctcd eye.
The mule has unhappily lost his sight
during the many years ho has been en
gaged in bis benevolent work , the eye
balls , wo are told , having boon grad
ually worn away us the result of con
stant friction , until now you have only
the empty orbits to operate upon.
The animal is patched in all directions
with fresh pieces of brass put on to cover
holes produced by the coiibtant friction
of eager patients , nnd a now , perfectly
whole mule stands ready at hand , await
ing the day when his old colleague , hav
ing fallen to pieces in Uio loniplo , shall
give him an opportunity of likewise bon-
ulittlng posterity.
A Tonor'H Karynv.
The larynx of the recently deceased
tenor , Ouyarro , has boon preserved In
the anatomical museum , Mud rid , and il
is said that the Spanish surgeons liuve
been slruek by the fact that they found
GayarroV "voice box" unusually largo
and the vocal chords uneven. All Iho-
orlcu in regard lo the hitler fact , have ,
however , boon uiaot by the dictum of a
French export , who declares thu changes

The Homo Occupant of ttio Box

General Sporting News.
There was n crowd of nearly four thousand
people out at the ball p.irk yesterday to see
the local team annihilate the Apojtloj.
It was Uio great t slugging mutch of the
season , the Onuihas hitting young Vintt for
no less than twenty-six base hits , scoring
twenty-four runs oft the same , seventeen of
them being earned.
Butjio wasn plucky llttlo fellow and
pitched Uio game out.
It was bliT , smnh : , bang , from the opening
inning to the close. In the seventh inning
alone the Black Sox swnttod the ball for
thirteen safe lilts , among which was n homer
und two three-suckers , nnd twelve great , big ,
fat. Juicy tallied bjing the result.
In the fourth inning Umpire Leech was
hit by a batted ball and so
badly injured that ho had to bo
carried from the Hold. Frank Baudlo um
pired Uio balance of the game , and after a
fashion that was highly gratifying to both
teams.
Fanning was in the box for Omaha nnd
pitched a masterly game. Ho was only hit
safely three times up to the juncture when
Omaha clinched the game , when helot up in
his speed und took things easy. Ho saw the
game was safely won and wisely concluded to
husband his strength , and yet the Saints
only succeeded iu copping out live more safe
ones. i
Kearns , And rows , Willis , Walsh and Fan
ning led at the stick for Omaha , but every
man had on his batting duds nnd
smote the sphere at will. Kearns
got three corking two-baggers , An
drews two three-baggers ana Cleveland ,
and Canavan ono each , while Joe Walsh
smacked the ball way out over the Washing
ton county line for a iiomo run.
For the Apostles Daly led with the club ,
securing two magniilccnt homers , closely fol
lowed by little Willie Mains , who reached for
a couple of singles and a two sackcr.
Notwithstanding tbo tcrriblo bombardment
Omaha subjected the visitors to , they played
an ndmlrablo game , their only error being a
pardonable mult by Charlie Abbey. Their
Holding in the face of such terrific hitting
was really phenomenal.
But notwithstanding the lopsideancss of
the struggle , it was a most interesting game ,
nnd the local fans had abundant opportunity
to crack their throats to their heart's con
tent.
tent.As
As has been remarked frequently before ,
the Omanns arc at last playing sjileydid ball ,
and it behooves an appreciative public , who
have the interests of the glorious sport in
view , as well ns the innumerable benefits
accruing to the city by means of the adver
tisement thus afforded , should manifest their
approbation by turning out and giving them
a boost.
The Black Sox are not out of the race yet
by a long way , and in another ten days it is
quite probable that they will bo much nearer
the heels of the leaders than they have been
yet this season.
The postponed game of Saturday will bo
played by the same teams'this afternoon , and
it would be the nice thing for every lover of
the sport who can take the time to go out and
see the battle.

Among the many valuable presents
which the king 1of Sweden received in
his cnnacity of prptector for the Orintal-
ist congress at Stockholm was a very in
teresting and auciont specimen of Chi
nese paper money ! Dr. A. Khrcdfeldt ,
of Vienna , presented it to the king , who
has again given it to the Swedish museum
of coins. The note , which is of compar
atively largo dimensions , has nt top an
inscription of .which the following is a
translation : "A generally valid precious
note of the TalMmg dynasty. " At each
side is another inscription : "Precious
note of the Till Ming dynasty generally
valid under the heavens. " In the
center the value is stated in
largo letters : ' ' "Ono kwan. " A
Icwan is equal tp,1,000 _ inoinmo or ten
strings with 100 inomuio each. Below
the words "Ono kwnn" are represented
the ton strings with the coins'strung on.
Below those is the following inscription :
"On account of a statement of our min

QUKKN OF GAljIjiV OAVAhUY.
How n Fine llody of Men is Handled
by n Woman.
There is something familiarly appro
priate in the fact that the loading gen
eral and vassal of the sovereign , the
omuoror of Abyssinia , who claims to bo
able to trace his descent in an unbroken
line to the biblical queen of Shobashould
bo a woman.
She is Qucon Jostoro Mastoro , and she
commands the magnificent Galla cavalry
division of Mcnolik's army , writes u
Paris correspondent of the Now York
Tribune. A member of the warlike
Galla nation , she first became connected
with the Abyssinian empire Iu u , rather
peculiar manner.
About 1887 Prince Area Selassie , the
only son and heir-apparent of the Into
Nogaus Johannes , was sojourning with
his tutor nnd mentor , General or "Uas"
Michael , in the town of Subul , on the
Gallo-Abyssian border , where ho hap
pened to contract an intimacy with the
only son of the Galla quoon.
Ono day , when a fair was being hold
in town , the two young princes amused
themselves by performing feats of eques
trianism , and among others that known
as tout pegging , in which the rider
traiihllxes with his lance a tout-peg
stuck in the ground.whilo | duelling past
nt a full gallop. The young son of llio
Galla qucon greatly excelled In this par
ticular form of sport and left Prince
Area Selassie far behind. The latter ,
goaded to fury by the Jeers which his
frequent failures to toucli the peg ex
cited among the onlookers , at length
ended by drawing his revolver and lirfng
point blank at the nuuun's son , who only
escaped with his llio and unstained bov-
orul hcrious wound * .
On becoming uwaro of llio treatment
to which her boy bad boon subjected the
Gnllu queen became greatly enraged
und vowed vengeanco. She immedlatolv
caused the tam-tam to Ixj Hounded , unil
having summoned n body of .1,000
cavalry to arms , placed herself at
their head , nnd three days Inter in
flicted such a lesson on the arrogant
Prince Area us ho was not likely to for
get. Throe hundred of his followers and
adherents were massacred in cold blood
by her mounted warriors , and the young
imperial prince was subjected to the
most ignominious treatment before being
allowed by the queen to talco his depart
ure from the district.
Curiously enough bis father , fanatic
old Nogaus John , instead of taking stops
to punish the good lady for her conduct
toward the imperial lad , determined to
win her over to his side. Ho was shrevved
enough to realixe that such a dashing
cavalry general would bo more prefera
ble as a friend than a foe.
Ho therefore lost no time in contract
ing an offensive and defensive nllianco
with her , almost overwhelmed her With
honors , presents and dignities , and lln-
nlly intrusted her with the command of
bis magnificent cavalry , which is re
cruited mainly from the members of the
Galla tribe , wliich is renowned through
out the world for its superb equestrian
ism and perfect physique.
It was at the head of the Imperial cav
alry tiiat she took part in tbo 1888 cam
paign against the Italians , and it is she
who was held responsible for the torrihlo
massacre of the Arabs and Mussulman
inhabitants of Aelot who were rightly
or wrongly suspected of entertaining
sympathies for the Italians. Emparor
John was subsequently speared to death
by Soldaneso dervishes in the battle of
Motemneh , his only son having como to
an untimely end six months previously
by means of poison , which is believed to
have been administered by ono of the
principal ollicors of the army , possibly
by the Galla Queen herself.
She bus therefore given her allegiance
to the now emperor , or Negus Monelik ,
and constitutes not only ono of the most
picturesque , but also important features
of the army with which the Ethiopian
monarch will inarch toward Adounh.
Although no longer young , her ap-
pcaraneo is assorted to have retained a
number of its charms. She is always
splendidly mounted on n horse , which
she rides seated astride , man fashion ,
and which she iiuinag'os with marvelous
skill.

TATTOOIN GTI IK IIODY.
Where This Practice Flourishes and
the Ijc cnd CoimclHcd with It.
Tattooingo is by no moans confined
to the Polynesians , but this "dermal art"
is certainly carried by them to an extent
which is unequaled by iiuv oilier people.
It provndes all the pYineipnl groups of
islands , and is practiced by all classes ,
though to a greater extent by the
Marqucsans and New Zcnlnndcrs than
an v other , Dy the vast number of them
it is adopted simnly as a norsonal
* " "
ornament , though" there are .somo
grounds for believing that the tattoo
may , in a few cases and cases and to a
small extent , bo looked upon as a hadgo
of _ mourning or a memento of a departed
friend. Like everything clue in
Polynesia , ils origin is related in a
legend , which credits Its invention to
the gods and says it was first prac
ticed by the children of Taara , their
principal deity.
The sons of Tnaro and Apouvaru were
the gods of tattooing , and their images
were kept in the temples of those who
practiced the art as a profession , and to
them potitionsaro oll'ored that the
figures might bo handsome , attract at
tention and otherwise accomplish Iho
ends for which they submitted them
selves to this painful operation , The
coloring matter was the charcoal of the
candlenut mixed with oil , and the in-
mont used was a needle made of lishbono
and a thread which was drawn through
the skin , after which puncturing the
black coloring matter was injected with
instruments made for the purpose. To
show any signs of suffering under the op
eration is looked upon as disgraceful ,
and accordingly , in some of the Islands ,
while the oporatfon is going on the
young man undergoing it will lay his
head on the lap .of his sister or noino
yowng relation , while a number of fe
male friends will keep up a song , so as to
drown the murmuring which the torture
map draw from him inadvertently , and
that , therefore , ho may not bo demeaned
in Die eyes of his counlrymon , who are
present as spectators.
Prince Kitlo Fritz.
Among the stories of the Gormnn em
peror's domestic life is ono about his
second nun , Prince Kitol Fitz. The em
peror is exceedingly strict about his
sons behavior at table. The other day
litllo Painco Eilol Frit-/ , using his
fingers instead of his knife and fork , was
corrected by his father several limes to
purpose. At last the Emperor's patience
was oxaustod , and ho said : "Children
who eat wi'lli their lingers are like little
dogs that hold tlioir food with their
paws. If you use your lingers again you
must go unyor the table , the proper
place for llttlo dogs. " The llttlo prince
did his utmost not to forgot this lime ,
but all at once ho forgot again , and be
gan using his lingers. "March under
the table , " said his father. Prince Hitol
Fritz crept under the table as ho was
bidden. After a little while the em
peror , thinking Iho prince vorry quiet ,
lifted up the tablecloth and peeped un
derneath. There sat litllo Prince Kilol
Frit ? undressed. Ills father nuked him
what ho meant by undressing himself.
The child answered : "Litllo dogs don't
wear cloths ; they only have akin. "

Some ton or twelve years ago an inci-

ald. A subaltern named O'Donohuo
wiifl the olllcor of the guard at the
Elphinstoao Guard. At this point of the
world known rock there is a shcor drop
of over ono thousand feet. A lieuten
ant who had taken too much ehampagno
ut a mess dinner walked over the rook
and undoubtedly was dead before ho
reached the rocks fur below.Vhon the
oflicoi1 of the guard came to lill in hifl ro-
iioi't mill rn.'inhml the mittNtimt.
anything1 extraordinary happened while
yon wore olllcor of the guard ; " ' lie wrote
in the blank t > pace reserved for the answer
swor , "Nothing. " ,
Of course lie was summoned before
Lord Napier of Mugdala , the governor
of Gibraltar. When ho appeared Lord
Napier nuked :
"You wore Urn ofllcor of the guard at
Klphinstono Guard yesterday ? "
" 1 was , sir. "
"And tliis is your report ? "
"His , sir. "
"Lieutenant M - was killed by walk

"You know that when you made out

"I did , sir. "
"That he was killed ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"And yet you snld in your report that
nothing extraordinary had happened
on your guard ? "

"Well , Mr. O'Donohuo , " said Lord
Napier , sternly , "don't you think it Is
extraordinary when n lieutenant walks

"Indeed sir , was the prompt roplv , "I
