however, and the best of feeling between
all sections of the country still exists.
The thought of this country being united
under one flag and harmoniously working
for the common good, sends a thrill of
dissatisfaction through the veins of the
two old parties that is too hard to endure

interest of the people at heart.

It would be idle, says the Progresses
Farmer, of President Raleigh, N. C., the official
organ of Polk, and also the
State Alliance, to attempt to disguise the
fact that many alliancemen—good and
true alliancemen—in thU country enter¬
tain serious doubts about both the desir¬
ability and practicability of some of the
measures that have been offered for their
acceptance. It is uuwise to
brush these men aside as eue-

•State “Although the Farmers Alliance in this
has only ben?" organising since
about the 1st of June, its active member¬
ship Husbandry outnumbers the Grange or Patioas
of nearly three to oue. Not
only this, but the Alliance includes in its
membership the most able, earnest and
active element of the Grange. Few
fanners are aware of the great work that
is going on around them. Indeed, our
attendance at the State Alliance.revealed
to us the silent force that has proved
such a cataclysm to the old politicil par¬
ties in the East. It will sooa have it-
organization more perfect than the po¬
litical machinery of tae State, and will be*
doing its own burintss to the extent of
drawing into it all classes with whom it
does business in th: country. It has but
to hold t) its course and the legislature
will have to yield to its decrees by the
sheer force of uuinbet Old Hayseed is
just getting down to business.
The New York Tribune is greatly ex¬
ercised over the “Alliance folly’’ in de¬
manding more money throueh the oper¬
ation of the sub-treasury plan. Iu its
strictures upon that measure it discloses
the usual fact in such cases, au absolute
ignorance of its provisions or principles.
It is not aware that every document sent
to Congress at this session touching fi¬
nance bill recognizes the main feature of this
as sound aud practicable. It has
forgotten tion, that the recent silver legisla¬
for which it contended so earnestly,
contains the warehousing, or, as if
pleases to call it, the “pawn shop” fea¬
ture of the sub-treasury p an. The
Tribune would do well to ^exchange with
some reliable Alliance paper, and keep
posted upon current matters relating to
the order .—National Economist.
THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.
Kansas, A dispatch of Monday from Topeka.
says: Ail the members of the
legislature have arrived and with them a
lobby which has crowded the capacity of
all the hoiels of the city. There is little
interest in the organization of the house,
asex-Lieutenat Governor P. P. Eder will
be chosen speaker by acclamation. Aside
from the internal dissensions in the Alli¬
ance camp over the McGrath-Turner mat¬
ter, the United States senatorship engages
the attention of everybody. While the
Republicans hoped 'the Turner letter
would frustrate and divide the Alliance
forces, auct allow them to re-elect Ingalls,
it will not have that result. Among a 1
the Alliance members present there seems
to be a determination to defeat Ingall /
1 here w ill probably be very little legist r
tian before the 26th instant, the day- »
senator is elected by a joint ballot of both
houses. There is no change in the sena¬
torial situation. Will its, it is conceded,
is the leading candidate, but Elder is
gaining strength rapidly and it is believed
lie will go into the fight with thirty-five
votes. If he does he will become a form¬
idable candidate, and it is certaiu that
either Y\ iilits, Elder or PefTer, all staunch
and leading Alliancemen. will be named
by the Alliance senatorial caucus. There
are ninety-one Alliance members in the
legislature and the proceedings of the
body will be watched with interest.
ALLIANCE EDUCATION.
The strength of Alliance principle and
the unyielding force of its demands lie in
the plain, incontrovertable facts on which
its claims are predicated. r I’h ■ rapid
education of the people concerning
economic questions of national im-
poitance in proof of the substantial
foundation upon which such edu
eaiion rests. No fine spun theory
could or assumption of false doctrine
liavtv brought about thi- general
desire for information and almost univer¬
sal effort at research without having its
real nature exposed and the whole impo¬
sition held up to ridicule and abandoned.
Ssch has been the fate and will continue
to be the ultimate end of ali economic
teachings not based upon truth and jus¬
tice. M he demands of the Alliance have
been subjected to the most searching
scrutiny and rigid analysis. They have
stood the merciless onslaught of ridicule
and criticism, and have come out of this
trying ordeal brighter, stronger and with
a firmer hold upon the intelligence of the
people than ever. I hey st aud to-day as
an exponent of ult'mate truth unrivalled
by any economic proposition that lias
challenged public attention during the
past quarter of a century. All objections
to these demands have been met in a
manner calculated to convince those
seekiugthe truth, and to coufouud others
attempting to confuse and mislead.
'1 he lessons of the pest should not
go unheeded. This u gent demand
for Alliance education should be
met by Alliance newspapers, speakers
aud lecturers with a determination to
furnish the people with the information
they desire. To do this w ill require close
application and constant study I hose
who would be leaders mu-i be teaehei
and those who teach must be
informed, The day for newspaper
slush and nonsense has
passed, and the time for facts, reasons
and proper deductions has come. Those
who assume to build upon the ignorance
of the people will fail, while those who
recognize their intelligence will surely
succeed. The duly of all engaged in this
derstood. movement is plain nsists and not easily misun¬
It c in an increased
effort in a’i proper methods of education.
An honest performance of this duty dur¬
ing the coming year will place the
Affiance iu a position absolutely impreg¬
nable as dust the assaults of the politi¬
cian and trickster. A united effort on
the part of all Affiance newspapers and
ltcturers in advocating fearlessly aud in-

demands, will so instruct and unify the

NEWS NOTES AND ITEMS FROM
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Proceedings of the Second Ses¬
sion of the 51st Congress.
On Friday the house went info com¬
mittee of the whole, Mr. Allen, of Michi¬
gan, in the chair, on the private calendar.
The first bill on the calendar was one re¬
ferring to the court of claims, the claim
of the Citizen’s I ank of Louisiana, grow¬
ing out of the seizure and covering into
the United States treasury of certain
moneys of the l ank by General B. F.
Butler. The amount involved is $215,000.
The measure gave rise to quite a long dis-
< ussion, it being advocated by Messrs.
Blanchard and Boatner, of Louisiua, and
opposed and by Messrs. Thomas, of Wisconsin,
Grpsvenor. of Ohio. The hour of 5
o', lock having arrived, the bill went over,
the committe rose, and the house took a
recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session
to be for the consideration of private
pension bills.
The vice-president laid before the sen¬
ate on Saturday, the protest of twenty*
three members of the Idaho legislature
against allowing Mr. Dulois to take his
seat. Referred to the committee on privi¬
leges the committee aid elections. foreign^Wfeations, Mr. afeju-mau, from
on re¬
ported a bill to amend the act of Februa¬
ry 1889, incorporating the Nicaragua
Canal Company (authorizing the is-ue of
bonus guaranteed by llie United States)
placed on the calendar and with the ac-
companjing report ord< red printed. The
senate then r. sumed consideration of the
finance bill (or of the anti-contraction
bill, as Mr. Sherman termed it iu his
motion) and Mr. Morgan continued his
speech begun by him Friday, iu support
o! the free coinage amendment. Mr.
Morgan yielded the floor, temporarily, and
Mr. Dawes presented the conference re-
port on the bill to carry out, in part, the
'provisions ol the act to divide the Sioux
Indian reservation aud, and in response
to a question by Mr. Edmunds, made an
explanation. sicn lie said that the commis-
of which Gen. Crook was the hea l,
promised the Sioux Indians, iu the course
of negotiation, to use its influence at
W ashington for the redress of certain
grievances. The commission subsequent-
ly met forty representative Sioux Iudians
iiom the reservation where tie- present
outbreak occurred, to see to it that those
assur nces were carried out. The Indian
com mi tecs of both houses were also pres¬
ent, and all being together, the bill had
been prepared to carry out exactly the
assurances as the Indians understood
them. The conference report was agreed
to, and Mr. Morgan* resumed his speech.
During an intermission the pension ap¬
propriation bill and the bill appropriat¬
ing $300,000 for a public building at
Providence, R. I., were reported aud
placed on the calendar. Mr. Morgan
concluded at 4 o’clock, and the bill was
laid aside and a message from the presi¬
dent was read, forwarding a memorial of
the legislative assembly of Oklahoma for
the relief of destitute people of that teri-
tory. Referred to the committe on ap¬
propriations. The senate adjourned.
In the house, on Monday, Mr. Rogers,
of Arkansas, otferred an amendment to
the Dockery resolution providing for the
appointment of a sp.*c 51 committee of
live members to inquire into all the facts
and circumstances connected with the
silver pools in which the senators and
representatives arc alleged to lie inter¬
ested: also as to the alleged purchase and
sale of silver prior to aud since the pas¬
sage of the act of July 14, 1899, includ¬
ing, selling the the names of and persons who purchasing or
same are owners of
twelve million ounces of silver bullion
which the United States is now asked to
purchase. Mr. Rogers’ amendment was
agreed to, and the resolution as amended
was agreed to. Mr. Rockwell reported
the bill, diplomatic aud consular appropriation
and it was placed upon the calendar.
1 he house then, after some sparring as to
the limitation of the general debate,
which was finally fixed at one hour and a
half, went iuto a committee of the whole
ior Urrther consideration of army appro¬
Iu the senate, on Monday, among the
documents presented and referred, were'
v ery many petitions aud memorials, some
for and some against the Conger lard bill;
also two petitions in favor of the copy¬
right bill. At 2 o’clock the finance bill
came up, Mr. Allen, of Washington, be¬
ing entitled to the floor. Mr. Platt made
an cording explanation as to why he had not, ac¬
to notice which he gave last
Friday, moved to take up the bill relat¬
ing to the copyright. He had supposed
that there would be no urgeuey of de¬
bate on the finance bill, but the senator
in charge of that bill was anxious that
debate upon it should be continued. At
the very first opportunity after the
finance bill was disposed of, he (Piatt)
would ask the senate to consider the
copyright bill. Mr. Paddock gave no¬
tice, on the other hand, that without re¬
gard bill, he to the would, copyright bill, or any other
at the first opportunity,
ask the senate to take up the pure food
bill. Mr. Allen then addressed the sen-
ate iu advocacy of Mr. Stewart’s amend¬
ment to the finance bill. Mr. Berry also
addressed the senate iu support of Mr.
Stewart's amendment, Mr. Cockrell
made an argument in favor of ihe
amendment which was simply, he said,
a proposition for the free coinage of sil¬
ver and the restoration of silver to all
monet ry functions. Mr. Allison took
the floor and the biil was laid aside.
After a short executive session the senate
adjourned.
The senate w ss packed and jammed
with people Tucs lay to hear Senator
Ingalls speak on silver, icenator &ber-
man had the floor mst. uowever, and
spoke three hours and shut Mr. Ingalls
out completely. Ingalls will, however,
get m his speech Wednesday. It is said
he will take occasion to attack Mr.
Cleveland. Icgaiis is for free
coinage. The pie wart free coinage
amendment will in all probability pass
by a two-thir -s majority. Mr. Aldrich
made the most lively speech of the day.
He was surprised at' the attitude of tte
Democr-.tic seaat rs on the subject, and
read to them a portion of Mr. Cleveland's
silver letter to A. J. Warner and others,
before his inauguration, in relation to the
e.lvcr nmstiuw

where it could again go into the market
and buy 4 per cent, bonds if there was
any urgent necessity for so doing.

Spain is, at present, in no position foi

to Prevent It.
A advocate society ha« been formed in England
to the repeal of capital punish¬
ment for women. Prejudice ha? gained
new force owing to the reports regarding
the recent hanging of Mrs. Pearcy f<>r
killing Mrs. Hogg and the latter’s child.
It is said to have been a cruel and bung¬
ling execution, and reporters having been
debarred, the officials have been able to
conceal the rea ! facts from t 1 e public.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK.
Indians Threaten to Avenge
the Lynching of a Boy.
A dispatch of Tuesdiy from Coulee
City, Wash., says: There is an Indian
outbreak threatened at Ruby City.. On
January 8th an Indian lad was lynched
by a mob at that place, and the redskins
threaten to inaugurate a general massacre.
The government ha? sent arms and am¬
munition to the place, and the troops
have been ord» red to bold themselves in
leadiness for active duty.
