thk new tork herald on the THIRD
PARTT MOVEMENT.
The New Tork Herald says that the
National Union conference held recentlv
in Cincinnati, is not to be poh-hoobed
away crunks m an insignificant gathering of
and soreheads. Following this
the Herald continues: “Party leaders,
Republican or Democrat, who look upon
it with indifference or treat it with ridi¬
cule, fail to see its significance and its
warning. Admit that the interests rep¬
resented are diverse, even incongrous
and discordant; that visionary schemes
may be favored and extreme demands
made. It may be that no practical agree¬
ment will be reached, no platform
adopted, no third party formed. All
this signifies nothing. The real signifi¬
cance of the event is rather in its origih
than in what may be its immediate re¬
sults, in the causes which have led to it
rather than the effects which may now
come from it. From this point of view
the gathering on the banks of the Ohio,
representing liance as it does the Farmers Al¬
and the Knights of Labor,
to say nothing of other organizations,
is more significant than any go-calltd
third party movement we have had in
this country for years. The greenback,
the prohibition, the woman’s suffrage
and even the labor cause have appealed
to special classes of limited numbers.
They lacked the elements of national
strength, and consequently of national
achievement. Different from all these is
the movement now looming up with
growing importance especially in the
west. \Ve have said that its significance
is in its origin, its cause. That cause is
party polities. It is a deep seated griev¬
ance felt by the farmers and the wage
earners of the country in consequence of
the shameful disregard of their interests
and welfare shown by the party in pm-
er. The organization of the ag¬
grieved classes is a practical pro¬
test against such party manage¬
ment. As the grievance affects az-
ricliltural and industry the scope of the
movement may be as broad as the nation,
as general as the masses. * * * The
Farmers’ Alliance joined with the forces
of labor and other organizations may
prove a facti r in coming politics more
potent than many affect to believe. Of
course it is not expected that a third
party, if one should be formed next year,
would elect its candidates. It might,
however, carry enough States to throw
the choice into the house, which would
insure the election of a democratic presi¬
dent. But whatever may be the imme
diate effect of this new uprising, the
movement is not going to disappear while
the cause which started it exists. Either
party in power must look to the interests
of the farmers, workingmen and the
masses combine generally, or these classos will
for their own protection.”

TIIE “CRUSHING OUT” IDEA.
Under the above caption the Alliance
Advocate of Louisville, Tenn., says:
“The fiat has gone forth. The na¬
tional banks have assumed control of the
old political parties and directed that the
Alliance be forced to stand alone as u
third party. Tney forget, however, that
if the Alliance Democrats aud Republi¬
cans in their respective parties go to the
primaries that they are numerically strong
enough they to control the workings thereof.
Do expect to be able to buy up the
farmers of the country by taking advan¬
tage of their oppressed condition and
holding glittering them iu thrall by threats aud
promises as heretofore? Oh,
no! They realize that the poor worm has
at last turned, and that the farmer is
thinking for himself, and that his
thoughts are turned to his own hard con¬
dition and how to improve his opportu¬
nities to secure a fair amount of relief
for him=elf and his family.
Hence the edict goes out that
the farmer must be led or forced
into a third party, and the t-wo old parties
unite to crush him out of political exi-t-
encc. And the city press has been bought
up and are one aud all united in an effort
to turn the attention of the farmer to the
high offices and great wealth awaiting
him as the rewad of independent political
action. But the farmer will not be thus
led from the enemy. He will be at the
caucus and at the convention, and his
voice will be raised in defense of his
home and his family. If there is to be a
third party formed let the bankers and
monopolists organize it, and let them
come before the American people defend¬
ing a platform erected on the national
b.nkng system of to-day. Ye gods,
what a spectacle they would present to
the taxpayers of America. Let the na¬
tional bank advocates defend their own
position rather than attempt to dicta'e
the position the farmers shall take,
they will be kept busy from now until
their platform is rent asunder by the
wrath of an outraged people. If
farmers of Tennessee adopt the
ury plan they will defend it to the last.

ALLIANCE EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal sends the following
his paper: “The la^t issue of Col. L. L,
Polk’s Raleigh paper, the
Fanner, has a significant
illustration, representing a female
tante, labelled “Third Party.”
Polk did not gainsay the
of the cartoon in his* paper, and
declared that unless the next
got down to bu-iness according to
Alliance forms, the waters in 1892
going to bj mightily aii agitated. He
stated further that Alliance educa-
tional campaign had been agreed upon
for the summer and the leaders of
order would appear at different points,
north, south and west, and address
people. The campaign in Georgia will

Ameiicus on July 14. and Hon. J. B.
Weaver, of Iowa; Hon. Jtrry Simpson.
Dr. C. W. Macune, Mrs. Anna L. Diggs,
of Kansas, and Col. Polk will appear.
A’lanta will be visited by this party on
the 15, Athens on the 16, and R<ime on
18. In stating the names of the speakers for
this educational work, Hon. f. F. Liv¬
ingston was not overlooked. Along with
a number of speakers, he is expected to
appear at Gainesville and Lakeland,
Florida, in July, and at various points in
M ssissippi duting the present month.
The states included in this grand educa
tional campaign are Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kan
Mississippi. is. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland
Carolina, North Missouri, New York. Nor’
Dakota, South Carolina,

The Liberty Bell (Sioux City, Iowa)
speaking of the power of the Alliance
says: “Thegood, solid common sense
of the American people, when they have
fully detenrined upon doing what their
conscience aud their judgment tell them
is right, that they will not long allow
them to be kept from uniting to carry
out that purpose. They are now firmly
convinced their demands are right, and
hence every effort to prevent it only
unites the more firmly, and in spite of all
that politicians may do or attempt to do,
the sound, common sense of the “great,
plain people” will prevail. We repeat,
that in our opinion, the Alliance has been
strengthened by thus showing its ability
to foil the attempts of its enemies to di¬
vide and set to warring each other its
two principle divisions.”

On the sub-treasury plan a correspond-
ent of the Union says: ‘Economists
have for 500 years been trying to adjust
the volume of money to the available
amount of precious metals. This is, and
must always remain as impossible as
“squaring the circle,” becau-e the metals
always run away and hide in time oi
trouble, war or civil commotion. The
real problem is to-day the same as it has
always been, and it is a very simple one—
to adjust the volume of money to the
volume of commerce. All that is neces¬
sary is to permit the comraodi y to fur¬
nish its own fltix, be its own security,
float itself into market. This is the es¬
sence of the sub-treasury plan.”
*
* *
The membership of the Colored Alli¬
ance is increasing beyond count. Na¬
tional President Humphrey writes tho
Alliance Bureau, at Washington, that
the organization is prospering beyond all
precedent so far as organization is con¬
cerned. His greatest hindrance is in the
educational line. The demand for liter¬
ature is far in excess of ability to supply.
Organizations having literature which
they can dispose of, can do much by
forwarding it to President Humphrey, or
distributing it among colored Alliances
that may be near them.

The Faulkner County Wheel (Conway,
Ark.) says: “Why is it that the metro¬
politan yard silence press have maintained a grave¬
on the issues presented by
the Farmers’ Alliance? Because they
plainly see that a simple discussion of
them would open the eyes of the people,
aud they would quickly hurl some of
their demigods from place and power.
They wiTl never discuss issues, they oaily
throw a little tariff sand to blind the
people.”
*

People's Economist (Thomasville, Ga.)
says; “The Alliance warehouse in Grif¬
fin has ju<t declared a dividend of 45
cents per bale for the season of 1890-91.
That means that the cost of storage and
handling their cotton to the farmers who
stored in the Alliance warehouse was
5 cents per bale.”
*

The Canton (Mis*.) Progress says :
“The sub-treasury scheme has an object
to accomplish—the lessening of the
money pressure. This result will the
scheme accomplish, and that, too, with¬
out a sub-treasury in every county.”

National Lecturer J. F. Willetts is
doing excellent work in the field. Good
reports follow wherever he goes. The
alliance needs a thousand just such men
to advocate its cause .—National Econo¬

The alliance in Maryland is thoroughly
awake and decidedly aggressive. It pro¬
poses to take a hand in the coming cam¬
paign. It is growing rapidly.
EXCITEMENT CREATED
Because the Itata is Not
lowed to Unload.
A dispatch of Sunday from Iquique,
Chili, says: There is great
here over the decision of the American
admiral to take the Itata without allow-
h'g the discharge of her arms and amniu-
nition. The press is very bitter and
considers that the United States, the
recognized cradle of republican idea,
commits a grave error in thus indirectly
Assisting the d ctator. The Einacional ,
ia aa editorial, says: “We know we
tave the sympathies of the people of
America, also of the people of all other
civilized nations, but the act of the
United States government against the
weaker power in arms for liberties and
r ]g hts 18 cot 1Q harmony with the tradi-
ii° ns that government. ’
The article concludes: “Let Americans
take our ship and our guns, but let them
reflect that they ie.ve nailed iu the
hearts of three million men sentiments of
having been deceived in their hopes and
of having lost faith in the nobleness of
mind and liberality of the sentiments of
the government at Washington.”

EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY.
Whole Towns collapse-several
People Killed.
A cablegram from Rome, Italy, says:
The ci ies of Verona and Mantua were
shaken by an earthquake Sunday. Many
houses were damaged. An invalid lady
was so badly frightened by 4e shock
that she died. Lombardy, Ve»etia and
part of Tuscany were visited in the early
morning bv repeated shocks. The worst
shocks occurring about 2 o’clock. Shocks
« ere also felt in Venice and Milan. The
centC r of the disturbance was at Verona.
A subterranean noise was heard like the
roar of artillery, which was followed by
three strong shocks. The inhabitants
rushed into the streets in terror. At
Marcenigo thiee persons were killed, and
at Badia, Calavena, seventeen were badly
injured by falling houses and chimneys,
A later disp .tch from Rome says: Ad-
vices from Badia, Calavania and Treg-
nanzo, two of the towns in northern
Italy visited by the earthquakes Sunday,

The damage done at these two places
is much greater than was indicated in
the first reports. 1 he towns w ere prac-
tically destroyed by the severity of the
shocks. The commission, appointed which by
the authorities to examine houses
were not thrown dowrn by the undulations
of the earth, have made hasty exannna-
tions and they report that three-quarters
of the houses are in such a condition that
public safety demands that they be pulled
down entirely. Large bodies of troops
have been dispatched to these places to
assist the authorities in clearing the streets
of debris in tearing down dangerous
houses ana to render such other assist-
ance as „ they may , be called ,, , upon to give.
VESUVIUS IIEARD FROM.
A cablegram of Monday from Naples
says: A large stream of lava is issuing
from the new crater of Mt. Vesuvius at
the base of the central cone. Signor Pal-
mieri, director of the observatory, states
that the flow is directly connected with
Sunday’s earthquake in Lombardy, and
that seismic disturbances generally stop
when an eruption commences. He does
not consider the lava stream dangerous.
IN NEW JERSEY.
A dispatch from New Brunswick, N.
Y., says that a distinct shock of earth¬
quake, from southeast to northwest, ac¬
companied by a rumbling noise, was felt
there at 11 o’clock Sunday morniDg.
THE ITATA SURRENDERS.
Will Return to San Diego and
Be Prosecuted.
The navy department at Washington
has received official information of the
peaceful surrender of the Chilian insur¬
gent This steamer information Itata at Iquique Thursday.
was contained in a dis¬
patch from Acting Rear Admiral Mc¬
Cann, received by Secretary Tracy sev¬
eral hours after the regular time of the
closing of the department. The disjiatch
came in cipher, and it took about three
hours to translate it, and even then there
were several instances in which its con¬
tents had not been fully interpreted.
SURRENDER OF THE VESSEL.
In effect the dispatch stated that the
Itata had arrived at Iquique from
Tocopilla Wednesday night aud was
placed at the disposiiion of Admiral
McCann Thursday morning. She had on
board, the dispatch says, the5,(j00 rifles,
and als* the ammunition taken from the
schooner Robert and Minnie, off the port
of San Diego, Cal. She had no other
munitions of war than those belonging
to the ship, and had transferred nothing
to the Esmeralda, with whom she com¬
municated off Acapulco, Mexico. After
communicating with this insurgent
cruiser, she went direct to Tocopilla.
THE CHARLESTON WAS THERE.
Admiral McCann says .also that the
cruiser Charleston arrived at Iquique
Thursday, and that the Pensacola was
expected hourly. The Itata will be sent
back to San Diego, probably under the
convoy of one of the cruisers of the ad¬
miral’s squadron, as soon as she can coal
and prepare for the return trip. She will
be delivered to United States court offi¬
