The convention then ndjourncd until 2
o'clock.
Al'tnrnoon
The attcnd.inco at the afternoon session
was very small , only fifty-thrco of the 101
delegates being present. It was understood
that no now business would bo transacted
during the closing hours , and with this un
derstanding many of the delegates living nt n
distance stnrted for their homes , leaving
1'owors and his followers In complete control
of the situation. They took nil vantage of
this , transuding new business nnd undoing
some thnt lidd been completed and passed
upon at other sittings of tno convention.
As soon as tbo afternoon session opened
Mr. Tcrrnl , a delegate from tlio Industrial
union , wni given the prlvllcpo of the floor.
Ho talked for three-quarters of an hour , ad
vocating n fusion between tlio Industrial
union , the ulhunco nnd the Farmers' Mutual
Iloncflt association for political purposes. Ho
wanted tlio Australian ballot reform ,
the government to own nnd con
trol all inland steamboat Hues ,
railroad , telegraph nnd telephone systems
and the noolltlon of national banks. In ad
dition to this ho wanted silver Issued in un
limited Humilities , together with treasury
notes , until the amount would reach the sum
of $ TiO per capita for every man , woman nnd
child In ttio United States. The money bo
would have loaned to the farmers on land se
curity nt n rate of interest not exceeding 2
per cvnt per annum. Ho was
in favor of publlo warehouses being
located in every county of every state. Not
only this , but ho wonted the president , vlco
president nnd United States senators elected
by a vote of the people. His remarks were
listened to with marked attention , nnd as
soon nvho wns Rented ttio chairman of ttio
committee appointed to confer with the mem
bers of the Farmers' Mutual Uonellt asso
ciation stated that ho was ready to report.
The report was as follows : "
"Wo. ttio members of your committee ap
pointed to confer with the members of the
Farmers' Mutual Bcncllt association , bog
Joavo to report that the bond ulnding the
'members of thnt association Is similar to that
\ binding together the members of the alliance ,
'nnd In vlow of this fact wo would recom
mend n confederation with that association
for the purpose of accomplishing the great
ends that nro sought by botli associations. "
An niitl-l'owers man moved that the presi
dent , sccrctiiry nnd three other memncrs of
the ulllanco ho elected to accomplish such
confederation , fix the basis of rupieseutation
and report their action to the next annual
convention of ttic alliance.
A member moved that Milton George of
Illinois bo rlceted ns chairman of the com
mittee. Til's ' motion was ndopted nnd Mr.
George elected.
Mr. Hoot moved that the convention go
into committee of the whole to consider the
proposition of confederation , urging that if n
good measure It should bo adopted as soon as
possible. Ho wanted to talk with the goutlo-
inen of the southern alllanco ami come to nn
agreement.
An Iowa member moved to lay the motion
on the table , giving ns his ro.ison thnt the
matter was of too much Importance to pass
upon without a full convention being present.
The motion to lay on the table was lost.
"Tho ruling of the cnnlr is unfair nnd un
just. " remarked nn Illinois delegate.
"Appeal , then , " replied President Powers.
"Whit good would it dol" quickly re
sponded the Illinois member ; "our people
have nil gene homo and your crowd hns cap
tured the convention. "
"J will appeal , tnon" said the Illinois
member , "hist to get the tone of the con
vention. "
"Tho question now Is , shnll the decision of :
the chair bo slista'.nedV' ' ' said Mr. Powers.
_ "Thosoin favor of sustaining the chair will
hold up their hands. "
Thirty-threo members voted with the presi
dent.
"Thoso opposed will vote by the same
sign , " continued Mr. Powers.
Only twenty men wcro present to vote In
the negative.
'Tho chnlr Is sustained In Its decision , " re
marked Mr. Powers.
"Now , " continued Mr. Root , "I shall press
my motion to go into committee of the wholo.
and I shall nsk that the report bo adopted
without debate. "
"You can't ' in this "
gag us manner , ox-
clalmcd half a dozen of the twenty men who
vnted in the negative. "Wo have some
rights and wo will debate until wo got them ,
'lids is a concocted scheme that you men did
not dare to spring until you captured the con
vention , when our fronds wont homo. "
"Wo uro not dealing square with the mem
bers of tlio Farmers' Mutual Bcnollt associa
tion , " remarked another of the lighting
twenty. "You don't know that that asso
ciation would submit to such a confedera
tion. "
"This is all out of order , " interposed Mr.
1'owors , "ns n motion to go into committee ol
the whole is not debatable- . "
Mr. Itoot's motion was put and carried ,
whllo the minority sullenly watched the pro
ceedings ,
Mr. Crawford was called to ttio chair ant
" the report rend by the chairman of the con
terence committee.
In. an instaut one of the twenty man arose
and said : "I move to reject the whole
report. "
"Second tlio motion , " exclaimed another.
' 'Moyo ' we accept tlio report , " remarked
momhcr of the majority.
"Second the motion , " wildly exclaimed an
other man.
"You people nro going wild , " spoke up ono
of the members who was opposed to inilroad
ing tha business through. "Whonour nctlor
comes to the knowledge of the public- you
will flnd Hint it will bo suicidal to the ends
that wo nro most doslrous of attaining , nnd
in all decency and fairness I ask that wo bo
allowed to debate this question. " | Cries of
"no. no."J
Chairman Crawford ruled the gentleman
out of order ,
"Then I will appeal to the house , " ro
spondcd the latter.
"Appeal , " quietly romnrheu Mr , Crawford
The appeal wni taken and the chair was
sustained by n vote of id to 'JO.
"I want to see a man bu something or
nothing , " said ono of the Wiscoifsin delegates
"Ono thing is certain ; wo cannot do bust
ness , " said 1'residciit Powers , "anrt I movi
the committee arlso and report progress. "
The motion carried , and as President Pow
ers resumed the chnlr ho said that tie hopot

the interest of harmony President Powers
sa'.d ho would appoint on the conference com
mlttco Milton Goorpo of Illinois , August Pos
of Iowa , J. 0 , H. Cobb of Ohio and A. J
'Wostfall of Iowa.
These gentlemen declared themselves 01
the currency question and wcro sound to th
ccro according to the Idea of the majority.
A motion was made that a committee o
flvo bo appointed to prescribe and dclluo th
duties of the conference committee.
Tbo president did not think tills necessary
as ho know nil of the gentlemen.
Uesolutlons and papers wcro rend from the
Farmers' Mutual Bcncllt association and
ether kindred organizations asking for actloi
upon the questions proposed in tbo report.
These wjro referred to the commiteo.
Some member wanted to loiow if they had
power to oct , "for , " said ho"wo want to give
the members such power right now , "
Ho. was assured that it had such power ,
Tbo following resolution was then adopted :

railroa'ia. ' . Ho wanted congress to regulate
. their manner ot doing business and bo also
wanted thu system of taxation so changed ,
that all htato , county uud municipal taxes

property taxed.
ProsWont Powers suggested that the ro-
marIcs bo Incorporated In a resolution.
This tho. member did , and the resolution
was adopted ,
At this polut President Powers called a
member to Iho chair , and stepping to the
floor moved that his resolution that w s de
feated Wednesday afternoon bo reconsidered.
In support of this ho snldt
"Tho design of tny resolution Is that wo de
mand that the government Increase the cir

bo loaned to thostntct at U per cent according
to the population ; by the stnto to the coun

that but one loan muvbo mada In ton years.
The lntorc.it is to bo paid nnnunlly to the
treasurer of the school tllstrlct lu which the

Powers declared the man out of order nnd
lounded his deslc.
" 1 will talk , " responded the delegate. "I
ought In ISIB and I will tulknow. This quov
on was settled yesterday and you hnvo no
right to call it up nt this Intohour. "
Allan Hoot declared thnt the resolution was
lined yesterday , nnd added : "The putrid
jorpso should not bo dug tip today. "
Hoot stated that ho had talked for moro
ban twenty-two years ; that when ho com-
lonccd talking ho was denounced as n crank ,
but If I was , " continued he , "today I stand
hero I did then. I move that we defer nil
u rther consideration of the resolution. "
The motion to lay on the table was lost.
Powers declared nil debate closed nnd tbo
esolution was tuuen up and passed by n vote
f -1C. to 2o oil n call of the roll of states.
When the resolution wns previously dis-

MISS M'BONAIiD'S
ADDUIS3S.
The Young ijndy Talks Polnteilly of
the Alllanco Alms.
Ono of the features of Wednesday evening's
session was the nddressof MissEvaMeDonald ,
stnto lecturer nnd organizer of the alliance in
Minnesota. Herremarks were enthusiastically
received. The following Is a brief synopsis
of her excellent address :
\Vo start upon the basis acknowledged by
all political economists , that laud and labor
nit ) the two prluio factors la tbo production
of wealth. Wo bollovo it a self-evident
proposition that labor creates all wealth , and
to the laborer belongs the wealth which ho
produces. Of course wo include mental as
.veil . as. manual labor so as long u person pro
duces something of utility. Now , wo , as nn
alliancu organization , desire to lind out why
it is thnt those who perform tbo most useful
labor by no means rocclvo the full result of
that labor. Our industrial system allows the
cstnblisbincntof a class of non-producers who
get control of valuable natural resources nnd
are ublo to continually levy a tax on those
inV' productive labor.
In accounting for present conditions It
must bo remembered that In the last half
century there has been a total revolution In
the methods of doing work on the farm.
Machinery has taken the place of hand
labor. Tno productiveness of the farmers'
labor has been wonderfully increased. No
man today can tulto up a section of land and
mnko a living without having some capital
to buy machinery and'wait until a return Is
made for his crops. If ho lias no capital ho
must put a mortgage on his land. The mort
gage has bccomoso common a feature of the
farmer's ' life that it no longer attracts atten
tion. It Is related that a traveler in Nebraska
last Bunnnor remarked ton farmer : ' "The
cyclone dou't ' seem to do much damage to the
farms. " "No , " rypllod the farmer wearily ,
"tha mortgages lira so heavy that a cyclone
couldn't lift them. " The farmers nro tbo
only class that have no voice In fixing the
price of their products. The prices of farm
products are fixed in Cntcago , Now York ,
Liverpool and other great commercial centers
of thu world. The firmer finds that after
accepting their prlcu for his products ; "after
paying railroad charges and the Interest on
nls mortgage thcro is very little left to ob
tain the necessities or comforts of civillzn
tion for tils family. In fact , the national
census reports show the average farmer re
ceives , over and ubovo the cost of manage
ment , the princely sum of 31U n year , or loss
tlmnSl a day.
There are various classes of philanthropists
nnd idealists who are sympathetic and well
meaning , but they fall to offer adequate
remedies. Among thosolutlons suggested by
such peoplenro' temperance , economy nncl
Christian resignation. No doubt their vir
tues are commendable as n mattcrof personal
conduct , but the tact romnlns thnt thcsu par
tial remedies have been tried for centuries
and have never yet effected industrial re
form. Wo see that capltn.1 liuds a inostof-
fectivo r.djunct In thorough organization.
While wo dtsllko the effects of trusts , yet the
trust has not -boon created In vain. It has
taught the masses a valuable lessou. It mis
paved the way for these vast federated or
ganizations of laborers which are now trying
to sulvo tbo problems presented by the
modern sphynx.
There Is one remedy always proposed to
the discontented that Is the ballot. Now
the privilege of the ballot is two-edged. If
wrongly or carelessly used it may servo only
to injure these holding much power.
Pol tlcal as well ius industrial , organization
has become a necessity. The two kind of or
ganization should not be < confused. Tbo polit
ical uulon may take In every citizen who docs
productive labor , whether ho bo u bookkeeper
or a fanner. The political movement Is not n
class movement except that It nmy bo styled
a campaign of the producers against the non
producers , livery honest , intelligent cltlzei
can bo , nud ought to be , in the Independent
political movement. It will Include the work
ers of the city ns well as the these of the
agricultural districts. There nro certain
political reforms upon which nil producinf
classes ngrco. These bavo been forinulatei
in the report of your commlttou this uftor-
noon , Tnoy Incfudo briefly reforms in land
transportation and llnouco. Solve tteao tbroo
problems and thu minor details will arrange
themselves.
So far as Industrial organization is con
comcd , it is uo less important than the
political feature. The worldlier people ol th
cities can keep Uielr industrial autonomy am
thu farmer)1 ) alllanco likewise , even when co
operating politically. The Industrial Idea o
organization Is the educating force wale !
prup.iros people for political action later. I
U the force which keeps up a healthy ag ta
tion on Important topics , brluglrg peopl
closer together nnd dissipating narrow proju
dlco and bigotry. The ulllanco Is now recog
nized as the grant educational force far the
industrial masses. It is the farmers' ' , school
of political economy ,

lll for the regulation of freight charges

[ 'ho bill in duo time was printed and plneod
jwii the Ocslts of members , making a pondcr-
ms volume of over a hundred IMRO.I. The

iblo report had almost been agreed upon ,
lut IJeprescntntlvo Moan , the vigilant mom-
icr from D.ikotn comity , got to making
special comparisons of rates llxoJ hy the
schedule with the local rates now prcvullln g
n Nebraska and found in each case
o his Infinite "surprise that the
atos named in the bill exceeded the

I'hls opened the eyes of the committee , nnd
n copy of the present Iowa rates were ob-
oliied and u comparison revealed the inter
esting fact that ttio rates tlxcd by the bill
'
vera moro than fiO per cent higher'than those
iow in force in Iowa. It has since been
earned that the Newburry bill was sent over
thu state to alliance members long before the
cgtslaturo convened , with the evident pur-
) ese of foisting this measure upon the
illlanco. Mr. Ncwborry stoutly denies that

: Iowovcr , ho admits that the bill needs
'some ' nmendlnir , " in committee , but why ho
did not amend thu bill before its introduction
s shrouded in mystery. The committee has
unceremoniously sst the Newborry bill aside
nnd will adopt the present Iowa rates for the

Mr. Ncwborry intended to impose a uosus

The Labor Commissioner.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 29. [ Special to THE
Br.i : . ] The attention of TUB BKB was di
rected to a little bill , No. 70 , introduced by
Waldron of Adams , which provides for the
repealing of sections 1 to 11 inclusive of chapter -
tor 39 of the laws of 1837. The purpose of
this bill Is the abolition of the oftlco of the
deputy commissioner of the bureau of labor
and industrial statistics. The present Incum-
iciit Is Mr. John Jenkins , who has held the
ofllco since the time the ofllco was created.
The bill has been referred to the committee
on labor , but thus far has not received atten
tion nt its hands.
The originator of the bill , Mr. Waldron ,
says that the ground upon which ho based
his action to abolish the oftlcolu question was
the fact that the olllce had cost Ss.OOD in the
past year and that bo did not think the state
was receiving an equivalent for the expen
diture.
Several friends of the Incumbent asked
Mr. Waldron if ho was informed as to the
amount of work this oftlco had done In collect
ing labor statistics nnu reporting upon the
condition of laborers and artisans in various
parts of the country.
Mr. Waldron stated hohaa not closely in
quired into the matter , but would do so this
afternoon.
Mr. Herman of Saline , chairman of the
committee on labor , is a Knight of Labor.
Ho says that ho does not fear the bill will
pass. Ho will tend to it before hU commit-
too. Ho says the only way to raise up the
laborerand advance the cause of labor is to
Inform the worklngman how labor is re
munerated nnd the InDoror provided for in
other parts of the country. This can bo done
only through statistics , which the commis
sion on labor and statistics is continually col
lecting. If the ofllco has not boon ns success-
full as it should have been , It is because , Mr.
Herman says , a suftlcient amount of money
lias not been appropriated and sufllclont au
thority lias not been delegated to the com
missioner.
On tno committee on labor there are three
members from Qouglns , Breen , Bcrtrnnd and
Ford. These are known to bo in favor of re
taining the commission , as are also a number
of other members of the house. Notwith
standing , It is thought a lively fight will bo
made when the bill comes up for considera
tion.
Demand n llccoimt.
LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 29. [ Special to TUB
Hun. ] The prohibitionists made their first
decided move today towards a recount of the
votes cast on the prohibitory amendment ,
llcprcsentntivo Waldron ( Ind ) of Adams , at
the request of the leaders of that party , 'in
troduced a bill providing that n special com
mittee , consisting of live from the house and
three from the senate , shall bo appointed ,
who shall proceed to make a recount of the
votes , beginning March 1 and closing by the
lf > th. Thu county clerks of the various coun
ties nro required to produce the poll books
and ballot boxes containing the votes at the
capitol by the first named date. In order
that the bill may bo rendered effective it will
have to pass with the emergency clause at
tached , nnd will therefore require a two-
thirds vote in each lions * ; .
The bill has but slight onanccs of over be
coming n law. A largo number of independ
ents have become exceedingly weary of bring
led around by the nose by scheming prohibi
tion tricksters and are about ready to repudi
ate the combine. On being interviewed as to
his design in presenting this measure , Mr.
Waldron said :
"I. received this bill several cinys ago nnd
told them I would think the matter over. I
finally decided to introduce the bill , ns I
could sco no harm in so doing. Ihoro is no
great exponseiuvolvedand thoprohibltionists
will bo better satisllcd. Of course I do not
expect that the result will bo changed. The
majority may , and likely will , be somuwintro [
duced , but not enough tomuko any material
difference In the llnal outcome. 1 simply pre
sented the. bill because they wished mo to dose
so , and bccnuso I thought they would bo better -
tor satislie'd if the votes were recounted. "

BKK.I The fatality which follows this legis
lature is something remarkable. After fallIng -
Ing in line against their better judgments
nnd adopting the unconstitutional and revo
lutionary policy marked out by the prohibi
tion lawyers , and getting rounded up at
every turn by the supreme court , the inde
pendent majority of the railroad committee
of the house has employed Strickler , the al
leged lawyer of Omaha , as a sort of logaj ad
visor , and agreed to pay him $30 to draft cer
tain railroad bills. It is understood Hint the

In response to the inspector's demands to

ind none , but exhibited the city treasurer's

"Tho treasurer told mo , " ho said , "that this

The swede , whose name proved to bo John
Anderson , hero put in his oar , nnd demanded
; ho return of his $ "J , which ho hud paid

Ho said that bo was sot to worlc on the sewer
ditch Monday afternoon , another man being
discharged to make room for him , and that
on the following morning whim another lot
of laborers arrived ho was ono of tbo victims
that was forced to make room for them. Ho
said that this appeared to bo the custom at

employment agencies others were promptly
discharged and the now men put to work.
Kraraerccdcavored to convince him that
the agency's ' duty was douo when the man
went to work , whether ho kept his place or
