» THE STATE ALLIANCES AMON Charles Wooster Makes a Few Remarks Per~ sonal to Mr, Burrow. HI8 TENDER LOVE FOR THE FARMER. A Steady Growth Reported ¥ Otor County—A People's Conve tion to Be Held at Douglas— Co-Operative Schemes, Cnepk, Nob, June 1.—To the editor of Turk Ber: In the current number of Tho rs' Allianee, published by J. Bur: Yows of Lincoln, that gentleman proceeds to annihilate me in the following manner. 1 quote the witicle entire in order to give it somo currency among the farmers of the state “Tiie Ber in its efforts to obtain corres- pondence adverse to the Alliance and its officers, is now filling its columns with a lot of slush combined with insults to President Powers and others, from a fellow in Merrick county who was bounced from the position of county organizer on the recommendution of the M county alli auce, and who has probably entively sovered his connection with_the aliance sin time, Tne Beg isn't improving i connections in Merrick county by editori to_spread slunders Prosident Powors,” If Mr. Burre giving o against s was able to divest himself of the idea that he is the alliance he would be able to see, if he had ifficient honesty, that neith I'ne Bee nor your humble cor- yespondent has said anything adverse to the alliance. His statement in regurd to my being unced’ is fal 1 held a commission Gs county organ- 4zer, which wa full foree and ‘effect until Jantiary 1, 150, and expived by its own Qimitation.” As I Wy 4 private individual the publie will not be interested in a further discussion of this matter at this time As regards President Powers, I stated the truth. Truths are not slan: With the permission of Tue Bee, I will now treat Mr. Burrows to some more und since I amonly a *“fello and he a [haired gentleman, perhaps he will now kindly fguoro me personally, leaving me to thalt obscurity which Lo sceks for “people’s committec and_ e |after attend only to the ‘“slush.” I1f he rolishes that kind of diet porhaps he amay get o stomach full in what follows. In former articles I have had occasion to dudulge in some criticisms of Mr. J. Burrows { a not altogether complimentary chars f these criticisms were just, it was not only \any right, but my duty to'my brethren of tho i nee to make them. Ifthis man who as- sumes the dictatorship of the alliance and constitutes himself the Moses to lead farmers ont of the wilderness of politi rascality to the promised lund of politi purity is bimself but a usurping, egotistical nutocrat, it is proper that they should know it. T s of them have but re. cently joined the alliance, while others sc disposcd I to follow those who howl loudest ugainst the abuses of our time and are apt to take it for granted that he who plumcs his wings as an ungel, and masquer- ades bofore them in the garb of a saint, is necessarily a paragon of virtue, Mvr. Burrows declaims against monopolists, He himself is a monopolist. In the leader- ship of the alliance ho has a monopoly of the braius, For that I give him full credit. He i the head ceuter. Un- doubtedly there are many able men in the asllinnce, but as yet they have not come to the front. In a former article T reforred rows as being a usurper of autho now make good my wi ment of fucts in rel ofticial nct: to Mr. Bur- ty. "1 will ief state- one of his y of like naty The National alliance last met at St. Louis on December 3. The Southern alliance con- vened there at the sume time, and i pected that they would there form union, including, perhaps also, the Knights of Labor, thus' making a combination of votors which would be allpowerful in politics and s00n assume absoluto control of the goy- ernment. Mr. Burrows, in the allisneo of Beptember 21, I think it was, spoke of this meeting in thes most glowings terms, repre- senting that to have a seat in that important assembly would be an honor of the first mag- nitude. © But constitutionally our s alliance would not meet until the first Wednesday inJunuary following. How then were the lerates from Ne- (braska to be app since our state alliance alone had authority to choose them ! Section 1 of artic! r ¢ constitution sprovides that “the president, secretary and oxecutive committee may change the date of the annual meeting for special reasons for any one year."” ‘Ihis provision afforded a perfect solution of the difficulty. The date of the meeting of the state alliance could have been changed to somo day in November and the delegates law- Tully clected, but this was not done. What was donet ‘There was perpetrated an act of tyvanny and usurpation of author- ity without one mitigating cireum stance, perhaps without parallel in the his > governments and ravely if ¢ 1in the history of the demotratic or Fopublican part l¥en emperors and ezars hro governed by luw, but the ofticials of our stato alliance are_above all law. Our state exceutive committee, without the loast earthly shadow of authority, divect or im- olied, themselves appointed those delegates. MIr. Burrows was chairman of that executivo committee and also president of the national alliance to which these made-to-order dolo- Ftes wero iceredited. What was Mr. Bur- ows' motive! Did he aspire to ho Wpresident of that vast organization that Was to be, and want a delegation which he could rely on? I do not know. He got nothing of “the sort, but iustead lost two states—Dalkota and Kansas-—-and came home disgruntled and soured. 1 will be just to. ward Mr. Burrows. He must needs have 0mo excuse for such a high-handed ontrage.

The special foature of this method of cure is its delightful simplicity, Is your tooth aching?” Just scrab the mule’s teeth and afterward your own,s and voila! the cure is complote.

It was biff, smash, bang, f inning to the close. In the seventh inning alone the Black Sox swattod the bull for thirteon safe hits, among which was a homer and two threc-sackers, and twelve great, big, fat, juicy tallies boing the result. In the fourth inning Umpire Leech hit by o batted ball and so injured that he had to be d from tho field. Frank Baudle um- 1 the balance of the game, and after o fashion that was highly gratifying to both teams, Fanning was in the box for Omaha and pitched a masterly game.

Notwithstanding the terrible bombardment Omaha subjected the visitors to, they played an admirablo game, their only etror being a pardonable muff by Charlic Abbey. Their fielding in the face of such terrific hitting was really phenomenal, But notwithstanding the lopsidedness of strugele, it was o most interesting game, and the local fans had abundant opportunity to crack their throats to their heart's con- tent As has been remavked frequently before, the Omanas t last playing spleydid ball, hooves an appreciative publie, w the interests of the glerious spovt in view, as well as the innumerable bencfits ceruing to the city by means of tho adyer tisement thus afforded, should manifest their approbution by turuing out and giving them a boost “The Black Sox are not out of the raee yet by a long way, and in another ten days it quite probabie that they will be much nearer the heets of the leaders than they have been yet this scason.

A member of the warlike Galla nation, she first bocame connected with the Abyssinian empive in a rather peculiar munner, About 1887 Prince Area Selassie, the only son and heir-apparent of the late Negaus Johannes, was sojourning with his tutor and mentor, General or Michael, in the town of Subul, on the Gallo-Abyssian border, where he hup- pened to contract an intimacy with the only son of the Galla queon One day, when o faie was being held in town, the two young princes amused themselves by performing f trinnism, and among others as tent pegging, in which the rider transtixes with his lance a tent-y stuck in the ground. fwhile dushing past at a full gallop. ‘The young son of the Galla queen greatly extelled in thisy ticular form of sport and left Prince Area Selussie far behind, The latter, wded to fury by the joeers which his froquent failures™ to touch the peg ex- cited smong the onlook at length onded by drawing his revolver and fiving point blunk at the quecn’s son, who only esoaped with his 1ife and sustiined ornl WO On bocoming aware of the treatment ro, and sho 1 cavalry that known 18, sorious to which her boy had been subjected tho Galla queen bocame greatly enraged und vowed vengeanco, She immoediate caused the tam-tam to be sounded, and having summoned a body of 3,000 cavalry to arms, placed herself’ at their head, and three days later ir flicted such a lesson on the arrogant Prince Aren as ho was not likely to for- get. Threo hundred of his followers and adherents were massacred in cold blood by her mounted warriors, and the young impevial prince was subjected to tho most ignominious troatment before being allowed by the queen to take his dopar from the district. usly enough his father, fanatic old Negaus John, instead of taking steps to punish the good lady for her conduct toward the impervial lad, determined to win her over to his side. He was shrowed enough to realize that such a dashing avalry general would bo more prefora- ble as a friend than a foe, Ho therefore lost no time in contract- ing an offensive and defensive allianco with her, almost overwhelmed hor with honovs, presents and dignities, and fin- y intrusted her with tho command of his magnificent cavalry, which is ro- cruited mainly from the members of the Galla tribe, which is renowned through- out the world for its superb equestrian- ism and perfect physique. It was at the head of the imperial cay- alry that she took part in the 1588 cam- puaign against the Ttalians, and it is she who was held responsible for the terrible massacre of tho Arabs and Mussu inhabitants of Aclet who were 1t or wrongly suspected of enterta ympathies for the Itali Emperor John was subsequently speared to death by Soldanese dervishes in the battle of Metemneh, his only son having como to an untimely end six months previously by means of poison, which is bolieved to have been administered by one of the principal officors of the army, possibly by the Galla Queen horself. She has therefore given hor allegiance to the new emperor, or Nogus Menelik, and constitutes not only one of the most picturesque, but also important features of the army with which the Ethiopian monarch will march toward Adouah. Although no longer young, her ap- pea is asserted to hive rotained a number its charms, She is always splendidly mounted on a horse, which she rides seated astride, man fashion, and which she manages with mavvelous skill. e TATTOOING THE BODY, 'tice Flourishes and the Legend Connebted with It Tattooingo is by no means confined to the Polyneslans, but this “dermal art” inly carried by them to an extent which is unequaled by any other people. It prevades all the principal groups of islands, and is practiced by all classes, though to a greater extent by the Marquesans and New Zealanders than any other, By the vast number of them it “is adopted simply as a personal ornament, thou there aro some grounds for be that the tattoo may, in a fow eases and cases and to o small extent, be looked upon as a bhadge of mourning or a memento of a departod friond. Like overything clse in Polynesia, its ovigin® is related in a legend, which eredits its invention to the gods and says it was fiest prac- ticed by the children of 7" their principal doity. The sons of Taaro and Apouvaru were the gods of tattooing, and their images wero kept in tho temples of thoso who practiced the art as a p sion, and to them petitionsare off that the figures might be handsome, attract at- tention and otherwise accomplish tho ends for which they submitted thom- selves to this painful operation, The coloring matter was the chavcoul of the candlenut mixed with oil, and the in- ment used was a needle made of fishbone and a thread which was drawn through the skin, after which puncturing tho black coloring matter was injected with instruments made for the purpose. To show any signs of suffering under the op- oration is looked upon as disgraceful, and accordingly, in some of the islands. while the operatfon is going on the young man undergoing it will lay his head on the lap of his sister or somo yowng relation, while a number of fo- inale friends will keep up a song, 50 as to drown the murmuring which tho torture p draw from him inadvertently, and t, therefore, he may not be demean in the eyes of his countrymen, who present s sp is cer d itle Fritz.
