of each state nlllnnco should correspond with
tlm jiropor ofllecrs of nil labor orotherorgnnl-

form of principle m luluptudut St. Tamils for
tlio purpose of calling a statu convention to
ronsliler the licst means of securing the elec
tion of representatives In congress -who will
work for those principles us paramount
to all others. "
This recommendation of our national urcsi-
deat received no notice from the powers tlwt
bo in this state ; no mention of it was inudo in
our "ofllcliil orfan ; " and thousands of mem
bers of tliu alllutico In Nobmku will doubt
less ao\v have heurd of It for the lint time.
As matter of fuct , President Loucks don't
nppcar to cut any particular llguro with us.
Dictator HUIYOWS covers the entire state cad
, you know it Is a prlnclplo of philosophy that
two bodies cannot occupy tlio same space at
tlio sumo time. Of course , no such conven
tion wns called by UionrcaMentof our state
nil lance. Ho preferred rather to call n secret
conference of county presidents mid
county organizers , presumably to
advise together as to a course of political
action.
representative nssonilily such us Presi
dent l.ouoks proposed nn msombly con
vened in accordance with the true American
Idea of self government liy tlio people , would
not have answered the mirpiso. Such an
assembly could not have [ ASCII so easily con
trolled and might linvo clone something not
to thu mind of the little political trinity that
has Its headquarters downnt Lincoln.
"Who are these county organizers nnywavl
Usually tlio more personal nominees of tiio
president of tlio state ulllniico. To call to
gether snch men for such a purpose is about
as though Congressman Dorscy should call
tOKUthertho postmasters of the Third con
gressional district to prepare a plan of
campaign for the republicans of that district.
Tlio president of our stnto grange did IS.HUO
precisely such a. call as advised by President
Loueks , butns our stutu oftlclals cither ig
nored It , or threw cold water upon it , of
course nothing came of it. It evidently ran
contrary to the schemes of the Dictator. It
ivonld not do to haves anything done In
which his hand should not he the moving
power.
About this time , as appears from nn nllclal
address to members of tlio alliance signed by
tlio president , secretary mid chairman of the
executive committee of the state alliance , tlio
alliances of several counties had joined in a
call for an alliance convention , 'i'his move
ment was squelched on Uioground that it was
uncomtitutlonnl , and then Mr. Burrows im
mediately comes out with his "declaration
and petition" for a people's convention and
this movement nt once receives the endorse
ment of President Powers.
The Ilctiou ttmt this is not an allianconfTnlr
Is set upwhile at tbo same time every effort
Is made to bring the alliances solidly to Its
support. Now , so far as the letter or our
constitution is concerned , there is nothing to
prevent the alliance from putting a ticket In
the field , for tbo only thing' having any bearIng -
Ing on the subject Is the provision that no
jiolitirnl test of membership shall Txj per
mitted , lint since It is the universal under
standing that the alliance is strictly nonpartisan -
partisan , neither tlio alliance nor members
> flt iwfcuch cim properly have anything to
do with partisan politic. Therefore , when
President Powers stood up in the union
, labqf convention in Lincoln and said thnt ho
represented between < JOUOOand70,000 po < h
jilo. and naked the Convention to stand with
us ho violated the spirit of our constitution.
As president of the stnto alliance hu had no
business there , llo had no authority to
epoak for us. Instead of representing us he
misrepresented ut. Let him attend to his
own business and to the duties placed upon
upon him by the constitution , which are few
und simple. As I. II. Powers merely.ho may
do und say what ho pleases. It is none of
our business. .And so in the
address nbovo referred to , all
three of our chief ofllcers
violate tbo spirit of our constitution. What
business. Is it of theirs how wo votol Let
them show us In our constitution or laws any
warrant for thnt address. They cannot show
< mo syllable. The address is a piece ot usurpa
tion und ( 'ross Impertinence. I would advise
them to attend strictly to their oflleiul duties
and not undertake to set themselves uii as
our political censors or lulvlsers. When re
publican and democratic members of tlio
ulllniieo want ixjlttlcal counsel from prohi
bitionists and socialists , they will doubtless
let them know.
And this is ono trouble with the farmers'
nllhmco from the top down , that party pro
hibitionists , men who had no suimllni ; in
their own parties , socialists , cranks and
fnnntlcs of all Muds , have been among the
llratto Jump in. This is ono of the dinicul-
tles that all now movements of this hind liavo
to contend with. It is they who are making
thu most of thcrackotln advance of thonew
party ; tuny who talk about the g. o. p. and
denounce tlio od | parties ; thev who are blos
soming out in every county nil over the state
us candidates foronircnntl who arc firmly
jxjrswuied that the salvation of this county
depends on giving thorn the oillccs mid
the control of all our municipal affair : thov
who are the "imro and honorable , men1
I presume , that Mr. Burrows tells us about
the only slmon-puro patriots who alone are to
bo allowed any pliico on the people's ticket.
O. whatu lot of soreheads will there bo when
nil these Independent conventions shall have
been held , and It shall have boon found that
tlu > ro were not enough oftlces to go one-tenth
of the way around ! It will bo us If the
Kontpiug knives of the Sioux Indluns had
swept the state. The lovel-headed farmers
must sit down on these fellows or they will
surely wreck our order.
In tlio address above referred to Messrs ,
Powers , Thompson nnd Iturruws , by virtue
of their oflleiul prostlgu , attempt to persuade
or foix-o us , to a man , into their new party.
Gentlemen , It will not work. You wore not
elected for any such purpose , Please keep
your places. \ on had no more right to ask
tlio inomhers of the farmers alliance to sup

the democratic or the prohibition party.
Hut Mr. Ilurrotva says you are not trying
to form n new party. In commenting on the

Hut what does It nil amount to ! Simply this

LOUIS I. BEAUCIIAMP'S ' ADDRESS.
The CrawU IdbcraJ U'Uh Its Sympathy
Out Itnthcr Slinv A-lxmt Responding
spending To the Call
lor Fin ills.
Sitting under the trees on ono of these
warm summer nights , with the dtars blinking
through the leaves mstlliiR In the night
wind , ouo can listen with patience ta almost
i ! in the wiiy ofn dlsi-ouwo. The most
tedious harnnguo would become but n monotonous
onous accompaniment to the reverie Into
which n man would soon fall.
Hut there was not much necessity last
for theoxerelaoof patlencoln this direc
tion at the temperance camp out in the grove
near Twenty-ninth street nud Georgia avenue ,
as the speaker of the evening , Mr , Louis I ,
Bcauchamp was really very interesting dur
ing the greater portion of his address.
Some members of different temperance or
ganizations have pitched their tents down
there la n pleasant prove of youthful oulc
trees and have inauguratcl a acricsof nightly
meetings which nro addressed hv different
sunken. They call the place a temperance
camp , but this is n misnomer , at It is
n prohibition bivouac nud a hot
ono too. There It ono larpo
tent under Which the meetings nra held.
There are seats for 200 ( icoplo beneath it ,
while there nro ninny moroehnlrs out beneath
the free canopy of heaven , Some people sit
on the ground , ljut th.it isn't ' very comforta
ble , as there are too many rod ants running1
around loose , who do uot discriminate be
tween the ardent prolilhitlonisb and the
skeptical nnti. They are 110 respecters of
persons.
In addition to the largo tent there nro a
number of small ones , which nro used for
divers purposes , One is the headquarters of
the MiiL'io City lodge. I. 0. G.T. There Is a
lemonade stand and water ' '
a barrel. 'I'lio
latter Is the host patronized.
There is a female brass hand , composed of
six pieces , which iilays popular nirs very
veil. Its udy members are nil pretty and
they prove something of nil attraction
to young men nnd also cuuso pang * of Jeal
ousy some times to dart through the heart of
n maiden , whoso Ik-Mo swain hns cast too
many glances towards their pretty faces iitid
manifested entirely too much interest la the
sweet musicians in everyway.
There is a platform under the teut upon
which these yoimi ? ladies sit nnd from which
the spoalnr nddrosses these jwople who
gather to lUtou. and which is also occupied
by Colonel Uomrrce of IContucltv , of
ficiating as ijciieml manager of the
tent campaign. Near the platform Is
a reporters * table and two chairs. The
latter are lavishly draped and ono Is Lihelcil
'The ' Republican" and the other "Tho
Leader. " Tim 13KB reporter sat on u stump
out in the woods.
All the scats and the statnpi and press he-
neath and about the hut were occupied last
night when I lr. Beaiuhauip mounted the
rostrum. As stated above , Mr. lionuchanip
is a fairly interesting speaker , nnd them
were but two times last night that ho ho-
came tiresome , The lirst wai when ho un
dertook to nulco people believe thnt prohi
bition prohibits by simply railing nt the sii-
loonkcopcr and introducing no facts , nnd the
other ivns when ho undertook to
bo funny. ! 3ut ho told some
good stories , nnd these little fallings might bo
overlooked. A portion of the crowd seemed
to rodly enjoy it. Outside of these two do-
narturos there was much real good to bo
found Mr , Beauchnmp's address.
Mr. Beauchiimp Is a tall , slender , younff
man witli a black moustocho and a pleasant
voice. Ho is an educated man and chooses
his lainjua e veil. IIo says that ho is a reformed -
formed newspaper reporter.
Ho told the story of Hay Boyd , the con
gressman's sou , who WAI handsome and ac
complished , , but dissipated. A beautiful
gtrl marrld him iiRidnst her mother's
aitvlco nnd In three months found
herself deserted by her hushnnd and com
mitted suicidd Ono day while ho was walk
ing along the streets In San i'randsco ho
pus.sod u magnificent girl. A ndnuto later a
young man with murks of dissipation on bis
'face turned the corner nnd mot the girl fnco
to face. There was a pistol shot inul ho drop
ped dead at her bauds. She then shot lior-
; elf , Twenty minutes later she opened her
ipsln a hospital -whispered , "Don't tell
nothcr. " nnd died.
Oh , that she hud told mother in time. If
10 hnd the -writing of a motto for all 'irls , it
vould consistof but three words , "Always
011 mother. " .Mother may bo a back num
ber , . She may not bo. able to play progressive
luchro , but she can always toll a bad man as
soon as she sees ono. Mr. Beauehsimp then
old the girls that they should nil take the
vow that the lips that touched the bottle
should never touch theirs and gave them a
whole lot of other good advice.
Then the speaker got sidetracked on the
question of prohibition , ' -There are only two
classes of people , ho said , who would assert
Unit prohibition would not prohibit. Th'ofirst
of those were the saloonkeepers , thu brewers
md distillers , and as they were all liars , and
ii his opinion , were already consigned to everlasting
lasting- damnation , they didn't count. The
other class was composed of the dudes ,
the young fellows who parted their
hair in the middle. At this
the young man who sat in the Republican's
nhair nnd whoso hair was divided plumb coii-
tcr , looked , up and blushed. These \vero \ the
only people , the speaker said , vhov8uld say
that prohibition would not prohibit. IIo then
indulged in some very poor humor , but it
pleased some of the crowd and they ap
plauded , awakening a little dog that had
been sleeping under arhcilr , and ho emitted a
few barks and took to the woods.
At the conclusion of all this ho had the
grace to acltnowledgo that such talk was not
argument , hut the other side had not produced -
ducod any arguments either. It w.i ? evident
that Wr. Ueauchaini > hadiotrcadTiiillKK's !
report of the 13 eat rice debute.
If there should bo a prohibition law they
would expect it to bo brokoa uj
the 1V3 \ against murder and theft nro
broken , but ho would insist that -where prohi
bition had been given a fair trial it had done
more for the good of man than anything clso.
Hnknew Itwosasuetcs-ilii Hopkins county ,
Kas. , anyway. A Dutchman hud tried to
sell liquor down there and had been repeat
edly arrested nnd llnally sent to jnll , nnd ho
stopp selling. All the prohibitionists hnd
to do after getting the law was to
watch everybody , and the flr.st
man they suspected of soiling lliiuor they
must have him arrested nnd scut to jail.
lie then resumed , his story tellinjr , and told
of John Brown and the Trapnist monastery
jittJothsoinanoand , concluded by appealing
to fathers to vote for prohibition or else sco
their fair sons and daughters eternally
damned.
Colonel Domeroo then took the stand and
said what they needed mmt just at thnt
particular moment was money. Ho wanted
all these present who would give ft
for the good oltho causoto raise their hands.
Not a hand went up. Then ho reduced the
hid to $2 , but the result was no bettor. Pco-
plo began to ga away und Cfloncl 'Domereo
said that a coldness had fallen over the meet
ing very suddenly. The hid went down to ( I
and still no one came forward , und so Colonel
Dcmerco said that they would ] > ass the liat
for pennies. Jlrother Witts passed the hat ,
hut the suia realized from tlm was decidedly
limited ,
Tlio female band then played "Hall Colum
bia , "a prayer was offered , mid the meeting
was over ,

Conscience nnd
The following closes nn udltorlal in tlio
July Century : The fact is that there is
altogcthortoo much rovoroni'o for rascals
and for rascally methods , on the part of
tolerably decent pooplo. Rascality is
picturesque , doubtless , nnd in llution it
JIM even its moral nhas ; but inroallifo
it should liavano toleration ; and it is , as
a matter of fact , seldom accompanied by
the uMlity thnt it brags.
Ono proof that the smart rognn is not
so smart as he thinks and asothero think ,
is that ho so often comes to griof. IIo
arrives at Ills success through his
knowledge of llio evil in men ; bo coinus
togriof through his ignorance of the
good in men , Ho thinks ho known
human nature , " but lioonly half knows
it , Thuroforo ho is cons Urn tly in
clanger of milking a fatal inistuko.
1'or instnnco , bis oxouso to himself for
lying and trickery is that lying and
trickery are Indulged in by others
cvon by some men whomnkou loudbonat
of virtue before the world. A llttlo
more or ; loss of lying and trlolcory hooms
to miiko no difference , lip nssumos
especially BO long as there is no public
display of lies and tricks for ho un-
dorstimds that there mu t always ho a
