POLITICAL NOTES.
If the Farmers Alliance is tojjmaintain
the influence it has obtained in the politi
cal world, it mnst beware of entanglement
with either of the old parties; it must also
steer clear of men identified with mono
polistic corporations.
It is given out that President Harrison
bases his hopes of renomination and re-
election almost solely on the passage of
the Force Bill, but that if the Senate
should refuse to adopt the measure he
will not offer for renomination, as he will
construe this action as a condemnation
of his administration.
The Georgia weeklies are getting over
their Christmas fun and are beginning to
come in more regularly.
To the Republican party: Don’t butt
your brains out against the force bill.
Save your party for us until 1892, please.
One Georgia editor tells us that he had
turkey for Christmas. Such a remarka
ble occurence is worth more-than a pass
ing mention.
It will be strange if one man—Speaker
Reed—he allowed to prevent the House
of Representatives passing a free coinage
bill at this session of congress.
American people ate going daft over
the new game of “Tiddledewinks.” It is
TTame, having originated in London.
Hon. J. C. Clements introduced a hill
in Congress, on December 1st, to provide
for the full and unlimited coinage of
standard silver dollars, and for other
purposes.
Mr. Wanamaker is advocating penny
postage. That’s right. Since we have a
penny president and a penny postmaster-
general the penny theory might he further
put into practice.
Pres. Polk of the National Farmers’
Alliance stated.a rock-ribbed truth when
he said at the Ocala convention: If Con
gress does not get nearer to the people
the people will get nearer to Congress.
To Congress: Why not give the people
a little legislation; one cent letter postage
for instance. A bill has been introduced
by Senator Cullom; now let the Senate
committee on post-offices see that it is re
ported back to the Senate with a favorable
r ecommendation.
The force hill is a “dead cock in the
pit.” The rampant element of the Re
publican party even has about given up
the idea of securing its passage. Like
the Force bill, the Republican party is al
so gasping in the throes of approaching
dissolution. Democracy is the hope of
the Union.
Failures for lack of available money
are growing more and more numerous in
the commercial world, yet Congress has
taken no effective step towards practical
relief by increasing the amount of money
in circulation. Bills by the dozen have
been introduced, but it will require more
than that to satisfy the clamorings of the
people.
Even Secretary Noble has been moved
to express indignation at the amount of
plunder which the pension agents are get
ting out of the pension system. He dis-
approves of the robbery by which the
sharks manage to secure $150,000 to $375,-
000 per week out of the money which the
government pays to its pensioners in
cases for services that are entirely unnec
essary.
It is estimated that the newspapers of
the country uave spent a great deal more
money in telegraph tolls, since the Sioux
Indiap scare began, than would have been
requiied to have quartered every living
member of that tribe at a first class hotel
the entire winter. It might have been
added that if all the mis-statements and
exaggerations had been eliminated from
these special dispatches, that Jay Gould’s
profits on telegraph toll would not have
been sufficient to buy him a lunch at a
cheap restaurant.
Sitting Bum,, the big chief of the
Sioux, has passed in his checks and jour
neyed to the happy hunting grounds.
He, his son Crowfoot, and several other
Indians, were killed at Standing Rock
agency; on December 15th, while resist
ing arrest. There will doubtless be com
parative peace in certain portions of the
Northwest now, as one of the worst In
dians in the country is out of the way.
Sitting Bull was always a disturbing ele
ment in his tribe,-and was not happy un
less inciting liis braves to warfare.
The New York Herald still sticks to its
boom for Charles A. Dana for U. S. Sen
ator from New York, which is a little pe
culiar for the Herald; but he this as it
may, New York would make a great po
litical blunder to elect Dana to the Sen
ate. He is undoubtedly an able man, but
he is notoriously unreliable.
Senator Stanford made a speech in the
Senate in favor of his bill loaning govern,
ernment money on farm mortgages at 2
per cent, per annum. This proposition is
certainly a new departure; but the bill,
which has been referred to the finanee
committee, should be acted upon by the
committee and Senate—not pigeon-hold-
ed just because it happens to be an inno
vation on present financial methods. Ev
erything has to have a beginning, and
this would be a mighty slow old world if
something wasn’t started occasionally.
It does not now appear probable that a
free coinage hill will be passed at the
present session of Congress. It is admit
ted by all well-informed persons that a
majority of both the House and the Sen
ate are in favor of the bill, but the trouble
lies in the fact that those who control
the legislation that comes before Con
gress are opposed to it. It is only theo
retically that a majority controls in Con
gress. Practically it is less than a,dozen
men that control its every action, by de
ciding what legislation shall be consid
ered.
The bill recently introduced in the
House to prohibit trading in options on
certificates for gold and silver bullion on
deposit with trust companifes and other
organizations, is one that cannot become
a law too speedily. There has been en
tirely too much speculation for the good
of the country in these certificates, par
ticularly those for silver bullion; and un
less somebody is very badly mistaken,
members of both House and Senate have
had a hand in it. Let Congress end it
forever by making this bill a law, now
that it has an opportunity. Then there
can be no more scandals of this sort.
The apportionment bill which the een-
Tnnrctmxi—
The Indian Police.
By the death of Sitting Bull the wili
est politician of the Indian race is re
moved to the happy hunting grounds.
He will vex the white man no more by
sneaking around behind the scenes and
stirring up the other Indians to out
break. He was never a great fighter,
was Sitting Bull, but a medicine mm.
He made medicine to keep the other red
skins fighting at the Custer massacre,
he himself continuing hia incantations
in a safe spot, removed from the white
man’s bullets. Peace to the old rascal’s
ashes, such peace as he deserves, that is.
What impressed the white reader most
forcibly in the account of his death was
the bravery and coolness of the Indian
police who captured him and held him
against heavy odds till the United^ States
cavalry came up and relieved them. In
policing the reservations" the. civilized
rndi»n seems to have found his mission.
He is yet too wild, too untrained in in
dustry to take kindly to farm or factory
drudgery, but the life of freedom afford
ed by riding liis pony abroad from place
to place through the reservations and
keeping order is enough like the old sav
age existence to satisfy him. The Indian
police force is made up largely of the
young men who have been educated in
the states. They have as much book
knowledge as the average white man
and more mechanical skill, that being a
part of their school training. They are
brave, docile and faithful in difficult sit
uations.
At the beginning of the recent trou
bles the ordinary police force of the
reservations was largely increased by
the addition of tall, athletic young
braves from the friendly tribes. As soon
as these enlisted, their long hair was cat
short, some layers of gorgeous paint
were scrubbed off their faces and bodies,
and they were clad in Uncle Sam’s
bright bine uniform, with its shining
buttons. Then, copper color, blue and
brass all mingling, the splendid young
fellows mounted their ponies and dashed
off to lead the United States troops
against enemies of the Indian’s own race.
The most heroic episode of the Indian
outbreak of 1890 will he narrated in
the aecount of the Indian scouts who
sacrificed their lives to thqir fidelity to
the white man while holding Sitting
Bull against the attacks of his rescuers
tiil the cavalry came up. The four brave
'.■lows will live in song and story.
LITERARY NOTES.
Robert Loveman, of Birmingham, Ala.,
poet whose name is becoming well
known through the popularity of his
charming verses, has been spending the
holiday season with his parents in this
city.
The brilliant journalist and lecturer,
Henry Watterson, celebrated with his
wife the 25th anniveraary of their marri

thousand congratulatory messages were
received from throughout the States.

We have received the January number

A strange story comes from Northport,
L. I., but it is nevertheless a true one.
The old fad of a rich heiress marrying
the coachman has been modified by a
wealthy old lady in her seventy-first year
marrying her gardener.
_ Ruth Chalmers, the bride in ques
tion, is a lineal descsndent of the famous
Aaron Burr, and her youngest unmarried
daughter is just thirty-five years of age.
She has a number of grand children, and
lives in a handsome mansion on the Is
land.
The groom in question is Mr. Charles
Sammis, an exemplary young man whose
age is in the first part of the twenties.
When Sammis addressed the lady for
whom he has been doing garden work for
a year, she evidently with matronly pro
priety, informed him that she would not
be a sister to him,but would do the grand
mother act in great shape. Sammis evi
dently had no grandmother and he took
advantage of the opportunity by the ma
trimony route.
Sammis no longer wields the hoe, the
spade and the rake on the premises of
Mrs. Chalmers, but Mr. and Mrs. Sammis
live in elegant ease, and leave that work
for some other person.
The Flurry in the Money Market,
The recent Hurry in the money markets
of the world has produced many disas
trous results to speculators in this country
and in Europe, hut aside from this it is
gratifying to know that it has clearly dem
onstrated the fact to the mind of the for-
eign capitalist that no country on the face
of the earth affords more secure oppor
tunity for speculation or permanent in
vestments than does the United States.
Had the English holders of American se
curities experienced the same difficulty in
unloading their American stocks as they
did in finding purchasers for their Argen
tine and other bonds, the crash would
have been terrible. While many millions
of European capital has sought invest
ment in this country during the past few
years, we have yet to learn of a single in
stance wherein the investor has failed to
realize as fully as he was led to expect.
This fact, coupled with recent experi
ences, will tend to largely increase, the
flow of the British capital to the United
States, and as a result, we look for re
newed prosperitym.the immediate future-

Scribner, for January, is as delightful
as ever. “Jerry,” the serial which has
excited much attention of late, still con

There is an entertaining article about
Japanese life and customs, and, among
other good reading, a most thrillingly

Many a little darling has been taken
away because through neglect their sys
tem has been undermined and destroyed
by worms. Such neglect is little better
than murder, when the trouble can be so
easily removed. Only a few doses of Dr.
Hart’s Worm Cream would do' the work,
and the little sufferers would soon show
the unmistakable signs of returning
health.
Everybody seems to think that jour
nalists lie continually—some of them do
—on beds of roses. Senator Evarts, who
one would suppose had been successful
enough to satisfy the ambitious cravings
of any ordinary man, says that if he had
his life to go over again, he would become
a journalist. There are a good many jour
nalists who, if they had a chance to begin
again, would prefer becoming almost any
thing else. The moral of this is to stick
to what you are at, and do the very best
you can, letting the future take care of
itself, a thing it has a habit of doing,
whether you try to prevent it or not.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.}
Washington, D. C., Dec. 26,1S90.
Financial matters are nearing a crisis
in the Senate, and if all the senators who
have privately talked free coinage are
prepared to vote for it in the Senate,
nothing can prevent the adoption of a
free coinage amendment to the financial
hill, which has just been reported to the
Senate, from the finance committee by
Mr. Sherman. This bill is a very differ
ent one from that which was first intro
duced^ and the silver men are mad all
through at the .committee for its action
in striking out the section providing for
the replacing of national hank notes by
treasury notes, issued on purchases of
silver bullion, and inserting in its place
one authorizing- the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue $200,000,000 in 2 per
cent bonds; and they do not hesitate to
say that they will combine outside of
party lines and pass a free coinage amend
ment to the committee’s hiH. Senator
Stewart has already introduced a free
coinage amendment, which will certainly
receive the support of all of the republi
can senators who are favorable to silver;
but great pressure is being brought to
bear on southern senators by the oppo
nents of silver to prevent their voting for
it, and if they can trade votes against it
for votes against the election bill, they
will gladly do so.
Action on this question cannot possibly
be staved off much longer, however much
certain gentlemen would like to delay it,
and it is expected that as soon as those
senators who went home for Christmas
return to their seats, the fight will he
opened in dead earnest by the silver men
who say they propose forcing the fight
ing when once it begins.
The democratic senators, having ab
sented themselves to break a quorum in
order to prevent the adoption of a reso
lution offered by Mr. Hoar providing for
a session to begin at 8 o’clock in the eve
ning and be continuous until the election
bill was disposed of, and having declined
to consent to naming a time to begin vo
ting upon that measure, Senator Aldrich
has reported the much talked-of cloture
rule, authorized by a recent republican
caucus; hut reporting it and passing it
are two things. The democrats will re
sort to any and all sorts of tactics to de
feat it, and they are counting upon the
passive support of a number of repub
licans; but I doubt very much whether
they get it.
The long drawn out agony is over, and
Michigan has captured the seat upon the
bench of the Supreme court left vacant
by the death of the late Justice Miller,
the fortunate man being Henry B. Brown,
a gentleman who is not widely known in
Washington, and whose name has never
been publicly mentioned in connection
with the position. Michiganders here
say that he is an able lawyer, and that
he will creditably fill the position.
That the desire for more money is not
confined to the west and northwest, as
has been intimated, was fully proven by
s resolution offered in the house by Mr.
Blanchard, of Louisiana, setting forth
the present remarkable stringency in the
money market, and stating that it has
been impossible in many places in the
south to obtain advances of even $1.00
bale on cotton, and ordering “that the
committee on banking and currency, be
in 9 Kill -^rmnrltTiff fnr
such an increase of “the legal tender cur
rency of the county as, united with "the
present supply of money in circulation
and that being coined under existing
laws, will increase the volume of money
to $50 per capita of our population.”
Senator Yoorhees in the course of
speech against the election bill, uttered
sentiment that will touch a responsive
chord in the breast of every member of
the Farmers’Alliance. He said: “When
the twentieth century opens, it is my
prayer and my belief that the farmers of
the North and of"the South and of all
sections of the country will have so uni
ted and fraternized in their councils and
policy that they will be in control of the
government for the establishment of jus
tice and equality and for the overthrow
of class supremacy and malignant sec
tionalism
There is a rumor here, which is not
generally credited, to the effect that Sen
ator Ingalls and Farwell, who are now in
their respective States seeking re-elec
tion, had been promised enough Demo
cratic votes to elect them in return for
their votes against the election bill
Chief Powderly, of the Knights of La
bor, was here a few days ago, making ar
rangements for the. national labor con
vention, which he proposes calling at an
early day to meet in this city. He is also
interested in the establishment here of
the headquarters of the National Citi
zen’s Alliance.
The motto of the House seems to he
“assume a virtue if you have it not.” It
took a recess from Tuesday afternoon un
til to-day, when it knew that there were
ninety-nine chances out of a possible hun
dred that it could do no business until af
ter the first of the year, owing to the ab
sence of a quorum. The Senate is almost
as bad. After announcing that it would
sit right along, it was compelled to ad
journ from Wednesday to Saturday.
