It is always a difficult matter to keep any organization quiet during a campaign. No matter what its nature some of the . members feel that because they happen to think a pertain way or favor a certain party thaf all the members should think and act just as he does. Politics . are even carried into churcheB, and the members of a church th;nk all the male members should vote for a pertain party or candidate. AH this is more or less unfortunate. " Everybody . cannot think aliltt?, - W e snould not expect it. ' This paper has repeatedly made suggestions along this line, and as the approaching campaign M warms up, a good deal of caution- will be neceesarv. The number of people who think the Allianco should become a politi cal party is email. But there are quite-a number who think it should vote solidly with tho ''People's Party. Still another large crowd think every Allianceman should vote the democratic -ticket. Not a few think the same in regard to the republican ticket. This feeling is not confined to Alliance member ship. .Party papers, speakers and organizers cling to the idea that Alliancenembers should vote with their part'. Thoro are members of the Alliance who vote nothing but the democratic ticket. Others will only vote the republican ticket. Others want to go to a new party. We will not attempt to indicate how. any man shall vote, but tak ing the constitution as a guide, will try to define its meaning: Alli ance membership does not interfere with your p tlitical or religious views. That is plain to all. The consti tution says that partisan politics must not be discussed in Alliance meetings. That should be sufli- cient to keep out all partisanship, and every president should see to it that partisan stuff is not brought in a. meeting. No president who does his duty will permit it. - As an educational organization alliance speakers and organs have urged its members to stand by their principles and vote only for men and parties that- agree to carry out Ihe same. This is the only i way they can do and there can be no reasonable objection to such a course. If all could thi.ik alike, naturally all would vote for one party; but this cannot bo expected, hence thers should be no quarrel between members. The only safe co irss to pursue is to educate the people, keep them in formed, and then they are likely to vote intelligently. Above all things keep partisanship out of tha order. Presidents can do this if they will. They must if they mean to do right. The euemies of the order would be glad to see it disrupted by partisanship. Above all things they would like to see the alliance emerge into a party. They would then have a picnic. It would lose all that has been gained and would have no further influence as an ed ucational organization, ho cool be conservative. Keep your eyes open and be ready to uct the best way at tho proper time. Don't let partisanship drown out everything , .., ... , t- clse- Ule ortfaniiaiwn no nrsi.

The la bor troubles in Canu- d'Aleno culrain uted early this morning in a fight at Gem between the union und non-union minors, whon a number on both sides were killed. The ill-fooling existing between tho two factions wsih incrcas d when, Sitturdny night, non-union men caina to Gem. became intoxicated and Cot into a tight with union men und wera badly hurt. A friend of a non union man thou took up the right, and ho, too, was quite seriously injurod. From this atTair pen hostilities began between the union and non-union men. About 1(H) union miners from Mullnu und about 10J from Burlce went down to Gem and surrounded thj town. They wer J nearly all armed. Tho ex citement was intense. Most of the women at;d children wore wnt to Fturke and Wallace lust night. Both tho Gem and Frisco mines were gunrd- ed by m mi behind barricades, armed with W inchestera, and as tho canon is narrow where the mines are located, thti men behind tho barricades could sweep tho two ruilaoad trneks and county road with bullets. The Gem mine is within 30".) fct of the center ol the town of Gem. This morning ufior " o'clock a miner from Gem started for Burke, and when opKitj tho Frisco mine he was fired upon, lie ran buck to Gem, several huudred yards, where tho shot was heard, and soon tha min ers in town gathered with arms. They marched in a body toward tho Frisco mill, loetiti'd directly in front of the mino. WtK-11 scarcely within ritVj ra-.ig-j a volley from t!

Tlio latc report of thn Minnesota State Kixxl and Pairv Commission' contains the result of a series of ex periments made ly Prof. C. W. I'rew, biato Chemist, to determine (he strength and keeping qualities of the various baking owders. 1 he report attaches great import ance to these experiments. isaK ing powders that vnrv in strength, or that rendilv lose strength before uso, are unreliable and will not give even results; besides, it is an indication of the use of improper ingredients in their compounding. Tho tests showed the strength or leavening power of the IJoyul very much greater than that of the others, The infurmity of stwmgth of ail the samples of Royal tested, no matter what their ago, was re markable. Its leavening power was practically unimpaired even in the oldest specimens. Tho dif ference in the amount of leavening gas in different samples of the other brands was so great ns to seriously impair their usefulness in baking. As much 83 24 per ccut loss was found in samples n few months -old. "All the samples of Iloyal examined by btate Chenitst Drew were reported of satisfactory strength and quality. Dr. Drew states that the "Royal" being of greater strength than any other, and possessing better keeping qualities, it is. t he natural conclusion that it is tho best, baking powder made.

The fact that Governor Pattison chose as tho timo to call out the troops when Homestead has never bren quieter, when the struggle of Wednesday had left no impreson upon the town save in desolated homes aad housts where phvsieians aud nurses arc caring for our wounded companions, shows that it was not considered needful to keep Homestead citizens from breaking the law by force of arms, but rather that th j state feels called upon to protect us in odr rights. Ve believe that the militia of this great commonwealth is hero to prevent a rep.-tttioa of last Wednesday's cowardly attack upon honest workmen by hired assassins. Wo welcome the troops, and we are contMit to await the outcome of our present trouble under the shield of Pennsylvania and tho glorious stars and stripes, as wa await.-d it before.

To The World correspondent Mr. Gardner said: "The third party, composed of the Fanners' Alliance and niauy other smaller organizations, the momlwrs hip of which is largely made n; of agricnl-! tnrists and laboring men, will hold its national convention at Omaha pest month. A presidential ticket will be put in the field, and in a number of western and southern states full tickets of state officers will also bo nominated. The leaders of tho third partv now claiu.

' GIVE US A CALL AND WE WILL TAKE PLEASURE JN . SHOWING OUR GOODS, HUTCHELL--LEWIS able 'to secure the electoral votes of Kansas, Nebraska. South Dakota, Ten nessee, South Carolina and West Vir ginia. This would give an aggregate of forty-nine votes and would insure abso lute control of the action of the electoral college. But even with a smaller number of electoral votes the third party leaders w ill be aula to thro w the election into the house. It is therefore highly important for us to prepare to meet tbe plans now being evolved to strengthen and per petuate an organization which is draw ing its vote in several states largely from the Democratic party. "I have talked with many of the third party leaders," continued Mr. Gardner, 'aud -am convinced that no fusion either with tho Democrats or the Republicans will be possible. It has been suggested that by a compromise of some sort the Al liance and its fellow organizations might be induced V) support the candidate of one or the other of the two great parties. It has also been suggested that certain pledges or concessions might be made to the leaders of tbe third party to induce them to direct the casting of such elec toral votes as they control for the Re publican or Democratic candidate for the presidency. - "From the present political outlook 1 pm satisfied tnat there is no possibility of a fusion. Under certain circum stances it might be possible, bat the third partyites are making a strong fight for their principles, rather than for im mediate success, which they realize can not be attained. If any material advan tage, such as would justify the leaders in retiring their own candidates, could be secured by a coalition. 1 think it might be effected, but unless positive pledges were given such an arrangement would be out of the question. With Harrison in the field on the Republican side, and with a certainty that an anti free silver candidate will be put in the Eeld by the Democrats, there is no hope of bringing about a fusion. "The great issue of the Democratic party is tariff reform, but. although a reduction in revenue charges is also part of the creed of the third party, it is a secondary consideration with them as compared with the free silver issue. For fiee silver the third party will fight as long as its members can be held" together. As lietween Harrison and any probable Democratic candidate there would be little for the third party leaders to choose. Tbey would, therefore, cast such electoral votes as they might secure Tor their own presidential ticket, and by preventing either of the other parties from securing a majorirv of the college vronld throw the choice of the next pres ident into the house of icpreseniatives. w. r.
