Dkak Brktiikkn:—There arc errors
«ccarrín^ in Art. (I, Sees. 2 and ¡1, of the

jpving my office a vast deal of trouble.
I therefore reproduce tho original

ly Alliances throughout the state, of

Amend Art. «, Sec. 2, by striking out
the word "$1.00" and inserting "50 cts."
Also Art. , Sec. 8, so as to read as
Ibllows-. The Secretary of the Farmers
Alliance shall send with his quarterly
lmiort to the County Farmers Alliance
twenty-five cents for each male member
during the quarter, and fifteen
i does for each male memlMjr of his

PROCLAMATION.
To the MembcM of tho Farmers Alllancpof
Texas—Q reeling:
Whereas, There exists a great neces-
sity lor vigorous work in propogating
the educational features of this great re-
form effort during the coming seasou
and
Whereas, The time of the regular
sessions of the State Alliance must be
principally devoted to the business o'
the order, thereby making it impossible
to properly organize and instruct the
various lecturers at that time, and
Whereas, The State Alliance doos not
possess the necessary funds to employ
and pay an efficient corps of lecturers
for the purpose of prQsecuting the work
in that manner, therefore this great ed
ucational work must depend upon the
efforts of the state, district, county aud
subordinate officers, and
Whereas, For such ofiicers to prose
cute this important work with vigor,
effectiveness and unity of purpose it ir
necessary that they be all called togeth-
er for the purpose of thorough instruc-
tion and discussion of the principles of
our order, the work to be accomplished,
and the best methods of performing
such work, to the end that each may
profit by the experience of all the oth
ers, and tho ofiicers and lecturers of the
entire state work as a unit to accom
plish the same object by the same
methods, thereby insuring absolute
certainty of success, and
Whereas, The constitution of tho
State Alliance of Texas does not by any
expressed provision authorize its presi-
dent to call a meeting of this character
and pay the expenses of same from the
state treasury, hence it is necessary
that such meeting be self-sustaining.
Now, therefore, as president of the State
Alliance of Texas, I do hereby issue
this, my special request or call, that a
meeting be held in the city of Waco to
convene on the 21st day of April, 1891,
at 10 o'clock a. m., to be known as the
Alliance Annual Conference or Associa-
tion, and that said meeting be com-
posed of the following brethren:
1st, The officers and executive and
judiciary committees of the State Alli-
ance; 2d, The lecturers of the various
District Alliances, also the presidents
of the District Alliances, if possible; 3d,
The lecturers of the County Alliances,
or such other brethren of the County
Alliance as may be chosen; 4th, All
true Alliance brethren in good standing
who are willing to put their shoulders
to the wheel and work faithfully for the
good of the order.
A special effort will be made to secure
reduced railroad rates and an active
committee will make arrangements for
board at a very low rate. I would sug-
gest that Alliances, so far as practica-
ble, pay the expenses of sending their
lecturers and any others that they may
choose, and that all brethren able to
come at their own expense do so, as
they will be amply repaid by what thoy
hear.
I am not fully prepared to give a pro-
gramme in detail, but after a free con-
ference with the brethren I am author-
ized to announce the following features:
KtnST DAY—morning.
Opening address, by Evan Jones,
Pres. F. S. A.

Subject—Transportation.
Address, by L. F. Livingston, Pres.
F. S. A. of Georgia, followed by free

Address on necessity for financial re-
form and the sub-treasury plan as a

mer in politics, by £. T. Stackhouse,
Pres. F. S.' A. of South Carolina, fol-

Evan JoNtcs,

Texas papers please copy.
Snow Hill Alliance at the laBt moot-
ing adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, It has come to our knowl-
edge that a fedeation lias been formed
botweeu the f th congressional District
Alliance and tho 5th congressional Dis-
trict Knights of Labor; and
Whereas, Said federation has been
formed without authority and may be
used in the interest of certain politi-
cians, and
Whereas, Said federation íb detri-
mental to our order, the Farmers Alli-
ance, therefore be it
Resolved, That we condemn the'ac
tion of our .District Alliance in forming
said federation, and that we will in the
tature, as in the past, vote as free and
indenendent American clttaena, and not
conaiilt the wishes of any federation.
ALLIANCE BCHOEB.
We art! getting tnere all the same, re-
gardless of Ben F. ltodgers and others.
—C. A. McMeans, assistant state lec-
turer.
I urn 70 years old, nothing interests
me like Tiik Meucuuv. May it never
die.—Hey. ('has.,Huberts,Oletha, Lime-
stone county.
Jirownwood Alliance puBsed very
strong resolutions against any appro-
priation for the World's Fair by the
legislature of Texas.
1 must congratulate you on the mark-
ed improvement <tf Tiik Mkucthv. It
is again in its old place in the esteem of
the Alliance men.—II. P.Jones, Jack-
borough, Tex.
The Van Zandt Federation of Labor
unanimously declares itself in favor of
the sub-treasury plan. And still they
come. At the close of the Federation
Uro. J. M. Perdue, lecturer of the Farm-
ers State Alliance, delivered a lecture
which was very highly complimented.
The tight is on and the eleven J udases
have made their appearance in repres-
entative form and betrayed the people
with a kiss. Can they deliver the Alli-
ance over to plutocratic rule? I guess
not. God be with you and The Micr-
ci'BY.—N. S. Henry, Sandusky, Tex.
Our Alliance is booming now. I quit
the M Kite ni y when it got to be too par-
tisan, but lately it has gotten on tho
right truck and [ am pleased with it.
Will get up a club if you will send me
some sample copies.—Isaac Itaborn,
secretary Tiger Prairie Alliance, Lime,
stone county.
I let my time runoutonTiiEMEitci RY
on account of the way it wus managed
it did not run parallel with the princil
pies and demands.of the Alliance but
in the interest of partisan politics, but it
has got all right again. That protest,
of the seven members of the Alliance
in the legislature was a daisy, a pure
misrepresentation of the order or lead-
ers of the order in Texas and squarely
against, the demands of the national
body which was endorsed by the state
body. Every true Alliance man should
speak in thunder tones against such. It
shows the same disgruntled spirit that
tried to disrupt the order in 1888, trying
to run the Alliance into partisan politics.
—H. A. Tage, secretary 5tli Cong. l)is.
Alliance, Bowie Texas.
Collin County.
Walnut Grove liad a most enjoyable
gathering on the Hth inst. J. T. Branch
of Lucas made a forcible address oa the
Mlianco principles and the issue before
us. All in all, much good work was
done, and Collin county is put in
marching order again.

Congressional District Alliance will be
held at Albany, Shackelford Co., Texas,
beginning at 10 o'clock a. in., May 2(itb,
I81M. Two delegates are allowed from

(¡rove Hill Alliance passed the follow-
ing resolutions:
Whereas, An address gotten up at
Austin is being circulated over the
state, and
Whereas, It casts sorious reflections
on the characters of our officers und
leaders in the Alliance, and
Whereas, AVe believe that if these
men had been trying to do what was
right they would have preferred charges
against said leaders before the proper
authorities, and not have published
them to tho world; and
Whereas, We believe said circular
war sent out by designing men, who
aro striving to defeat the wishes of the
people; therefore be it
Kesolved 1st, That we consider this
circular an outrage perpetrated upon
the Allianco and its loyal leaders.
Resolved 2d, <That wo condemn, not
only tho circular, but any man or set of
men that would publish or cause to be
published any such scandalous and ma-
lignan tadocument.
Resolved Ihl, That, as the circular
charges our people with sending North
for an editor, we aro determined to
know no North, South, East or West,
hut to recognize merit wherever it may
bo found, and we heartily endorse The
Mercury and recommend it to all Alli-
ance men everywhere.
Resolved 4th, That we believe said
circular and the conduct of its signers
to bo unworthy the notice and respect
of good men.
Resolved 5th, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent Tm Mercury for
publication.

CONDEN8ED CORRESPONDENCE
Speaking of men who seek notoriety
by opposing the purposes of the Alli-
ance, Bro. Johnson Collins, of William-
son, says: "I think all such Alliance
men should be publicly denounced by
the Alliance, and be expelled from the
order at once."
•••
Bro. J. A. Ash brook, of Mullin Mills*
writes: ''When a little fellow way baclc
in the woods steals a horse, cow, or a
little money he goes to the pen, which
is right and just, but our congressmen
can misappropriate the public money
without censure. This is wrong."
V
Bro. W. S. Cox, of Copeville, says:
"Our Allianco is booming. AVe have
had some good lecturing in our commu-
nity, and there is a prospect of a large
increase in the order bore. Every one
should subscribe for our papers. It is
not wise to support our enemies. Let
us support the paper that works for
our cause."
9
Bro. Buck Barry, of Walnut, says:
"Some arrogant persons at Austin, call-
ing themselves Alliance men, after
holding a secret meeting and forming a
conspiracy against the order, denounce
our officials and all other members who
l>elieve that the Bub-treasury plan is
the best thing to give relief to the peo
pie. These men are themselves either
too ignorant or too treacherous to for-
mulate anything better. I am driven
to conclude thut they would delight in
dancing on the grave of the Alliance.
They stand ready to declare republican
government a failure, and to shout for
one of their idols to come up and have
himself crowned an absolute monarch.
Then they would hold a big festival
over the departure of the peoples liber-
ties."

The city of Oak Cliff derives Its namo from the inasslve oaks that crown the soft green cliffs
and stands about two hundred and fifty feet above and to the southward and westward of thectty
