" The result of thcso communications 1m boon that ninny of the non-resident member of Alpha camp have paid their recent assessments sessmonts anil dues Into the cencrnl offices The officers of the camp arc determined tha this shall bo stopped at once. In fact , they threaten that If Sovereign nommnndcr Roe docs not shortly order thcss members to pay their money to the camp they will bcgli legal proceedings to enjoin him to do so. Tbo camp members allege that the ohjcc of this move on the part of the sovcrelgi commander Is to break the power of Alpha camp , which is becoming too much for him especially In this matter of a separate Juris diction. The non-resident members number about 150. If they should bo taken away 1 would considerably decrease the membership which 1s now about 800. Furthermore , the Alpha camp olllccra charge that ultimately the sovereign commander Intends to aili theao non-resident members to a now camp which will ho faithful to him. This nou camp has already been organized and Is callci Camp Loyal. Almost every ono of the em ployes In the ofllcra of the sovereign camp are enrolled , and almost every office in tha camp Is filled by ono ot these employes. The Alpha cnmp people figure out that this now cnmp will be tued as a counterbalance to their own. Its power will bo used par tlculnrly In the fight for n special jurlsdlc tlon. If It becomes aa largo as Alpha cam ) the sovereign commander can show that tilt sentiment In favor of the Hcparalo jurisdic tion , as represented by Alpha camp , la no greater than that against It , ns rcprcuentci by Cnmp Loyal.

The usual treatment has been uomi > simple ointment or salvo which Komcttmen clvo temporary relief , but nothing lllio a perma nent ! euro can bo expected from such super ficial treatment. The only permanent cure for Itching piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile Cure , not only for Itching piles , but for every other form of piles , blind , bleeding or protruding. The first replication gives Instant relief and the continued , URO for u short tlmo cauaiu a permanent removal nf the tumors or the small parasites which cause the Intense ItchIng - Ing and discomfort of Itching pllex. Many physicians for a long tlmo supposed that the remarkable relief afforded by tbo Pyramid Pile Cure was because It was up- pCHed to contain cocaine , opium or similar drueti , but such Is not tlio cane. A recent careful analysis ot the remedy showed It to bu absolutely free from any cocalno , opium , or In fact any pokonouu. Injurious drugo whatever.

LINCOLN' , Jan. 10. ( Special Telogram.- ) Lcadcra ot the populist wing cf the fuslo forces of the legislature have ilotcnulno upon n now legislative apportionment , bass upon the vote cast at the last general elcc tlon. ' The bill Is In an advanced otago o preparation , and U In the hands of Kopro sonlatlvo Sheldon ot Dawes county , the nc knowlcdged leader of the majority lu th house. Kor some reason or oilier 'he ' popnHs loaders have adopted the opinion that a leg Islatlvu reapnortlonmont la absolutely necw sary to their party's welfare In Iho future The constitutional provisions arc agalns their plans ; but they Tiavo discovered method by which , In their opinion , thej can gut around the constitution. The tega status of tha propcsal was llrsl taken up las week during the convention of the Nobrasl : bimetallic league In this city. Congressman elect Samuel Maxwell , formerly Justice o the supreme court , was in Lincoln durln that time , and the whole ground was gou over In Informal discussion. Finally the ex ju.itlco consented to prepare an opinion upoi ( ho cjuesHon. Three questions were KUbmlt ted to him , as follows : 1. Can tlio legislature at the present ses slon make a Icglslatlvo roapportlomncnt 01 Iho basis of the vote cast In 1S3S ? 2. Can the legislature order the assessor of all the several counties In the state tc make n now enumeration of the liihabltout this winter before the close of the presen session ? 3. Can the present legislature make an ap portlonment on the basis of the census taker by slate authority 1S90 ? Thcso mitstlons were submitted to Con grcssman Maxwell on January 9. HU opinion Is n aomowhat elaborate ilocumeu and was recohcd In the city last ulght. I serves the purpose of the populist leaders The venerable ox-Justice of the supreme cour * opines that the present oesslon ot the legls laturo la precluded from making an appor tlontnent on the basis of Iho census of 1S90 Ho alao says that In his opinion that a cer.au which the constitution required to be takei In the year 1S95 cannot bo taken In 1397 , ant then made tlio basis for mi apportionment as the time for the enumeration Is spec ! ( tally flxnd In 1S3. lint , going further , the Judge says that "a full and fair enumeration of the people o the state Is no doubt the mo3t satlsfnctoo basla for an apportionment and provisions . mould hnvu been made at the last aatsion for that purpose ; but In case of the failure of the legislature to pass a law for the takln , ; of the conaus or to provide the nccrssary funds to defray the expenses , the right to make a new apportionment docs not therefore , Inpse , provided that a rule o apportionment can bo adopted that will be uniform an I give a fair representation to al parts of thu stato. It te poralblo that a court might hold that a census wsa Indis pensable to precede n new apportionment but If It was apparent that the new npor- ttonment was fair , just , equal and uniform throughout the slate , the object of a census would ho accomplished and there would seem to bo no ground for Interference. " Having taken the ground that an apportion , mont cannot bu baji'd upon a new enumera tion of the inhabitants by assessors or other county otnclals , the ex-Judgo advances the proposition that ouch an apportionment may Do made upon the basis of the votes cast at Lhe recent gcr.cra ! election held In the state last November. II admits that "such an estimate , from the nature of the case , may not bo absolutely accurate , but niay ba nearly so ami perhaps be as reliable as an ordinary census.
