Sir.rnn Cunhf , Nob. , July 23. To the
IMItorof TnnUKK ! The Farmei-s'Alllnnco
of July 35 says editorially that "Tin : Hrn ,
from being the foremost champion of the nlll-
nnco nnd tlio farmers , lins como to bo the fore-
moat champion of tie | corporations and is try
ing to deatfoy the alliance. It has the sup
port of ono man who Is n rcncgtida from the
nlllnnco and who Ins violated every obliga
tion ho over took as a member , viz : Charles
1) . Woostcr. "
So far ns Tun Bnu is tonccrned , If It deems
such rccljlcss statements coming from such a
source worthy of notice it Is abundantly ublo
to speak for Itself , nnd , so far 111 1 inn con
cerned , with the permission ol Tin : Br.n , I
will spculc for myself.
Dropping the initial letter , "D , " I will as-
siiinothut I nmmoint , nnd 1 will also assume
that the author of the editorial In question is
Mr. J. Burrow * , and I say to that gentleman , '
nnd would llko nho to have the opportunity
of saying It psisonally to his face , that when
hosay.s thntlnm a raucK'ido from the nllt-
nnco and that I have violated every obliga
tion I over took as n member , bo Is an infam
ous liar , nnd ho know * It. Ho Imow It was a
Ho tthen ho wrote It , and I defy him or any
of his lackeys or deluded followers in the
stnto of Nebraska to show that his assertion
Is true In the least particular.
1 hnvo made numerous and serious cbnrgos
against this man , nnd I hnvo produced evi
dence to sustain them. Ho replies with
nbuso alone. Sometime the fanners of Ne
braska will bctterunderstnnd this ambitious ,
two-faced chnrlatnn , who continually lavs his
hand on Ms lienrt and with upturned eyes
calls on heaven t\a a witness to the rectitude
of his intentions nnd the absolute Incorrupti
bility of his character.
I hero plvo him duo notlcothnt I shall camp
right on his trail until after election , nnd as
food for rollcction for the farmers of Nebraska
J offer the following conildomtlons , which
may throw some light on the < | uostoii ! ns to
who Is the rcnegado and the violator of obli
gations :
"To labor for the education of the agricul
tural classes In the
science of economical gov
ernment In a strictly non-partisan spirit , " is
one of the declared purposes of the farmers'
iilllanco. The constitution of the farmers'
nil Unco declares that "there shall not bo any
political or religious tests of membership. "
in a decision by the ofllcials of the stnto alli
ance , September 11 , 18MI , nnd signed by the
president , secretary and all the members of
the executive committee , referring to
the county nllianco putting In nomination
a county ticket , they say , "Such action Is in
direct contradiction to the principles of the
constitution ot the stnto alliance , nnd also to
the condition of the obligation of the order ,
and fuithor that reason and experience
teaches that such action directly tends to
break up nnd destroy the alliance in any
county taklnp such action. "
fl'hi * * nM ( lnl nrrrmi" nf thn * rttn nllinnnrt nf
ioptctntior SS , lt > bll , says editorially that
'Men ' of all p.irtlos nnd creeds arc invited
ute Its ranks expressly on the ground that
.heir material interests
are identical , no
matter what may bo their political views.
To " invite men to Join In this manner , assur-
"ng them that the nlltanco is strictly mm-
initlsan , and then by n majority vote to turn
.t into a political party , seems , to say the
cast , an unjustiliablo broach of faith. Such
.ctlcm could not fail to huvo iv disastrous
iffcct upon any nllinuco adopting it. The
: > arty tlo Is almost as strong as the tie of
> lood. This is unfoitunato but truo. In
inch nn alliance the men \Uio were willing to
form the new party would bo practically expelling -
polling those who were not , nnd would bo
riolutlng the constitution by establishing a
ixjliticnl test of membership. This applies
jqunlly to acountv and state alliance , " nnd
t miglit properly have been added to a sub-
rdlnato alliance as well.
Now whatdo woseoi Certain high ofll-
; ers of the state alliance under cover of an
anonymous "people's committee , " seeking by
Indirection to inuupnmto a new party move
ment , which Is nt once endorsed by the presi
dent of the state nlllnncu. And no sooner is a
tnto convention called than all thrco of the
ihlcf ofllcers of the alllanco issue nn ofllclal
appeal to all members of the alliance to sup
port the now movement and to take control
of It.
And tomorrow the state alllanco will have
_ ts headquarters at the Llndcll hotel In Lin
coln nnd will assume a general oversight of
the organl/atloti.
Jn response to this appeal , alliances , county
and subordinate , jn different parts of tlio
sUte are by a majority vote denouncing the
old parties and declaring fealty to tbo now
party.
From all the above then it necessarily fol-
.ows that these ofllcials nro self-convicted
traitors to their brethren , and that they , to
gether with the alliances follnwlngthclr lead ,
are violators of tbo constitution of their
order , for if such partisan nets on the part
of the alliances nro unconstitutional , as these
same oOlcors have officially declared them to
be , unquestionably similar partisan acts on
the patt of these state ofllcers themselves act
ing in their ofllcial capacity are also uncon-
stitutlonnl , nnd it would bo no valid defense
to say.'ovcn if it were true , which it Is not ,
that these oillccrs and alliances me not form
ing a now party , but only endowing ono that
is already being formed.
It also follokvs from the authorities above
cited that the republican members of the
alliance , \\lio Jo not/ happen to agree wltll
them , nro being practically expelled by tao
partisan acts ol these ottldais and thcso
alliances.
These men seek to evade their Just responsi
bility In this matter by setting up tno pnorilo
and absurd claim that this new political or-
ganl/ntlonis not a political party. The fact
that it may not and probably will not last
longer than until next election , renders it
none thu less a party \vhllo it docs exist.
Continually parading themselves before tba
people as the apostles of political reform , the
umDitlon of the alliance leaders is to mount to
political power and authority on the mlns of
the republican party ; and to attain this ob
ject , tuey are ready to betray a great organiza
tion of farmers , whoso declaration of pur
poses , as published with their state constitu
tion. Is wholly bcnefklal and every way
worthy.
They nro using tlio'alllance , n professedly
non-partisan association , to breakup If possi
ble a political party to which thousands of al-
linnco members belong aud tvho&o ticket they
will vote this falL
The nlliuuco men who nro forclncr this now
party movement are the transgressors , and if
U should result In the destruction of the al
liance , y > o responsibility will bo on them.
Down with tyrants , usurpers and dictators ,
whether In the. alliance or olsowhoro.

of the grossest manipulation of r.itos , extend

The Pan Handle , Fort Wayne , Luke Shore ,

hat this rate will not ba advanced this year.

rate between northern und southern pine.
The competition Is so Intense us to demand n
rate ot about 0 cents per 101) higher on the

to whotnor the southern loads shall charge 0

southom lines insist en making a iU-cvut ruto
If the northern lines advance to 10 cents ,
while the northern lines Insist the southern
