***
A delegation representing the Farmers’
Alliance appeared before the ways and
means committee at Washington Tuesday
bill morning to advocate the passage of the
to create sub-treasuries in different
parts of the country for the reception of
staple crops produced by farmers. The
spokesman was Dr. C. W. Macune, chair¬
man of the legislative committee of the
Alliance, and editor of the National
Economist , a paper devoted to the objects
of the organization. The others present
were Alonzo Warded, of South Dakota;
Benjamin Terrell, of Texas, national lec¬
turer; L. F. Livingston, president Geor¬
gia State Alliance; R. M. Humphrey,
general superintendent colored Alliance,
and J. J. Rogers, of the Virginia State
Alliance. In addition there was present
a number of members of Congress, prin¬
cipally from the Southern States.
***
scribing Hr. Macune depressed began his address by de¬
the state of agriculture
which, he said, was the prime cause of
the trouble in other pursuits. If the ex¬
isting conditions continued, he warned
the committee that labor would become
desperate and a great revolution would
ensue. History showed that wealth had
always lacked intelligence to meet in time
the necessities of labor, and on its part
labor had never adopted the proper means
to remedy the faults it complained of.
The objects of the Farmers' Alliance was
mental, social and financial improvement.
At the St Louis convention 2,000.000
farmers had been represented, and they
had proposed the remedy set out hi the
0111 as tne tlrst step in the right direction.
! If it wa5 rudely framed and the idea in¬
distinctly expressed, they relied upon
wisdom of the committee to give it the
proper form, but thev lielieved they had
found a remedy for their ills. The*farm
ers asked no favors aud no class legisia
turn, "ihev were now suffering from
i latter. They did not ask the enactm at
i of anv unconstitutional measure, but as
! great debtor class, a* men who had
, out in the West after the war and laid

Thev ' justice, pufe and simple
D r Macune wai questioned bv " mem
b-TS of the committee respecting the de¬
tails and probable effect of the sub-treas¬
ury bill. Mr Bayne wished to know if
one effect would not be (0 encourage over¬
production. Dr. Macune replied that it
would not, for just as soon as the farm¬
ers’ calling became more profitable than
>thers, there would be an influx of men
into that business, which would result in
1 reaction and finally the restoration of
m equilibrium. To his mind, no fixed
volume of currency—no matter how great
—would m- et the needs of agriculture.
It wanted an elastic medium. The farmer
sold his crops in the fall when prices
were the lowest and bought his supplies
oetorc harvest when prices were highest.
Crops wefe marketed in two or three
months of the year, and this marketing
annually caused a great stringency in
money. the
lead Mr. Flower feared that -plan would
to banking on live sliobts, iron, lead
and silver ore. They were getting along
now in the latter direction at the other
end of the capitol. In time we would
have everything “in nock.” In the
course of ten years, the government would
be nursing children and women working
irt the .field. The true remedy for the
farmers’ ills was the manufacturers’ plan.
They should rouulnte production. Raise
only enough and produce to meet the people’#
wants, thereby get fair price#.
Dr. Macune proceeded to explain th«
process proposed to regulate the
issue of produce certificates. He said
that the necessity for excluding
imports of agricultural products was
obvious if the quality of the certificates
was to be preserved. The certificates
would constitute the soundest and best
currency in the world. Probably not one
asked lialf of for the to put $50,000,000 the machinery appropriation in
new ac¬
tion would be required, but the sum
should not be absolutely at the minimum,
as in time it would be necessary to extend
the system to include all of the products
of labor not covered by patents. Iu con¬
clusion Dr. Macune said that the National
Alliance had not sent out a single printed
petition, and that these petitions and de¬
mands now pouring iu upon congress
were the spontaneous offerings of farmers
of the United States, who were convinced
that they knew what they wanted and
were going to have, it.
the argument, that the farmer would* do
well to manage his domestic affairs with¬
out government interference.
Among the Alliaucemen present was
Ben Terrell, the lecturer. He said: “We
do not trade with any party. We are
more patriots than partisans. We arc
tired of sacrificing the interest of the peo¬
ple for party. We have got nothing to
do with the democratic party. We are
in favor of Alliance measures. "Where a
state is democratic, wc want to elect such
democrats as will work in the interest of
convention. measures promulgated by the Alliance in
The republican members of
this order will make the same effort to
send meu here who are friends of a party.
Again, a candidate nominated by the Al¬
liance would be a class candidate, and
therefore would be on Dosed.”
***
The hearing of the Farmers’ Alliance
representatives was continued before the
ways and means committee Thursday
morning, Mr. Livingston, national lec¬
turer of the organization, taking up the
argument. He said that lie had found
much misapprehension in Washington
respecting the objects of the Alliance,
t hey had not beset congress, but, as Mr.
Flower had suggested, they had been at¬
tending strictly to their own business.
A wrong impression—one without a word
of truth—was that the Alliance was clan¬
destinely seeking to displace tlic ruling
parties. The farmers had been told that
a proper adjustment of the tariff and of
' the silver question was all that was
necessary for the farmers’ relief.
The tariff had nothing to do with the
measurexecommended by the Alliance.
The tariff fixed the price of the far¬
mers' purchases; the sub-treasury bill fixed
the price at which he sold his goods.
The alliance representatives had not beeD
insolent; at least there was no intention of
being insolent. r l hey had talked plainly, asked,
straight demanded—he from the shoulder. They the
was not sure about
terms—that congress do what it could to
pass the sub-treasury bill. Fifty-eight
homes—farmers'—had been sold at auc¬
tion in Connecticut in one day this week.
The farmers wanted relief, and they knew
how to get it. 1 hey had about made up
their minds to let partisan politics alone,
for awhile at least. Representative Cle¬
ments, of Georgia, had sought to have
the farmers' lands taken as security in
national banks. Somehow congress had
refused to do it. The national bank sys¬
tem must be broken up. The farmers had
to secure loans at excessive rates of inter¬
est. There was no justification for that
under God's broad heavens.
Mr. Fowler asked if a manufacturer
did not have to pay some interest.
Mr. Living-ton replied that he did not.
There was difference between watered
stock concerns and the farmer's real es¬
tate, yet the latter was made the worst
i quoted’President seeuritv in this country. Continuing he
Lincoln's peophesy that
; corporations would be enthroned; that
! the property of the country would be

would be overthrown. Thank God, the

legislation was the result of a compro
flJise. The gentleman from New York
(Mr. TloWet) had predicted that chil
dreh aren woffid woma be oe put hut to to work wor* in in ware ware
houses and women m the fields. 1 he in
terferencc was that men under the pa
rental government would be too lazy frr
work. Mr. Livingston denied that such
at a result would ,, follow. , ,y rs Could , , there , be
a governmtfft more parental than ours
—parental to banks, he meant, lie did
not favor parental government, If the
highways were opened to enterprise
and energy, the farnu r would be satisfied.
But the farmer had stood around waiting

ridden, oppressed farmer? Never more
than a third of the cotton crop would be
ttare-housed. When the certificates issued
on that Crop' came in they would meet
the needs of the wheat crop, and then the
tobacco crop, and so on. There would
not be excessive changes in the volume of
currency.
Mr. Flower asked why the ware-houses
were to be used for oats, wheat, corn, to¬
bacco, and cotton? Why not put in the
pot wool, and Tice, and cheese, and pork,
etc?
Mr. Livingston replied that these other
staples were protected by wool the high tariff—
seventy-five per cent for alone.
Mr. Flower read a table to show that
staple crops had fluctuated more than
fifty per cent within thirty years, and
asked if that did not demonstrate the in¬
stability of the proposed currency. this May
heaven have mercy upon country
when a thousand millions of currency was
suddenly called in, as it might be under
such fluctuations.
Mr. Livingston replied that the fluctu¬
ations had been caused by the fact that
the farmers had been caused by the fact
tnat the farmers had been compelled
to sell crops at adverse times—something
the bill proposed to remedy. In conclusion,
he said, that if the committee thought
that a landed basis was best, if they could
not accept the crop basis, let them put it

CEDAR KEYS* MAYOR
BEING HUNTED BY DEPUTY UNITED STATES
MARSHALS.
A dispatch United from Cedar Keys Fla., says;
Four deputy Wednesday States marshals ar¬
rived here late night for the
purpose of arresting the mayor of the
city—W. W. Cottrell —and his city mar¬
shal—Mitchell—on the charge of assault¬
ing Customs Collector Pinkerton and in¬
terfering with him in the prosecution of
Government business. The action of the
Government authorities is the result
of a long series of outrages perpe¬
trated by Cottrell, in the most of
which he has been aided and abetted Ey
Marshal Mitchell. A genuine reign of
terror has existed here, the full details of
-which will probably never be known
until Cottrell is safe behind the bars, for
the people do not dare to speak against
him so long as he is at liberty. United
•States officers succeeded in arresting
Mitchell Wednesday morning, but Cot¬
trell was apprised of their coming and is
now in hiding.
THAT HACKING COUGH can be so
quickly cured by Shiioh's cure. We
guarantee it.

The Picturesque Country of Albania,
Albania is on the eastern shores of the
Adriatic. At the southern extremity of
the coast of Dalmatia just beyond Cattarc*,
the rule of Austria over the Slav comes
to an end, and the Turkish province of
Albania has a beginning.
It would be difficult to find a country
which can offer more that is quaint and
picturesque to please and entertain. It
is a little world within itself, the mount¬
ains, lakes, plains, valleys and people

With shawl-clad head and ornamented gun,
And gold-embroidered garments fair to see.
The representatives of the Ghegs are
called Boluk-Bashis, and they have a
high opinion of their own worth and im¬
portance. When arrayed in official dress,
mounted and equipped for business, the
Boluk-Bashi presents a gorgeous specta¬
cle. He wears a voluminous white kilt
and numerous embroidered red waist¬
coats, handsome white hose ornamented
with black braid, white felt skull cap
and Arab turban, after the head-gear of
Skanderbeg. Then he is armed at all
points with pistols, yataghan and re¬
peating rifle, lavishly silver-mounted.
His horse is usually a white Arabian,
on which the Boluk-Bashi sits as though
all the world was his. When once
in the mountainous district the road be¬
comes narrow and rocky, making rapid
progress impossible. The horses, how¬
ever, are very sure-footed, and unerringly
pick out a safe place to step among the
crevices, fissures and loose stones.
It is wonderful, too, that they are so,
when the way they are shod is seen. Tho
shoes are plates with a hole in the middle.
The nails are narrow-headed and are bent
over the edge of the shoe, and by these
a catch is obtained on the rocks.
The Salmon ia a Great Home Body,
In regard to the wonderful migratory
instinct of salmon, Lord Duumore savs
that he caught on his property in the Isle
of Harris, in the Hebrides, some twenty
or thirty salmon. These he marked and
carried alive in his yacht to the opposite
ride of the island, where they were all
turned into a lake. In the course of the
same season in which they were trans¬
ported it was ascertained that some of
these same fish had come back again, all
tho way home, a circuit of forty miles at
least through the pathless waters of the
great their Atlantic, passing several livers in
journey, up which they might have
