The Midland Journal (Rising Sun,
Mo.) says: ff'liose persons who read
newspapers—and quite a number are
supposed to do so—frequently see men¬
tion made of Alliance tickets, Alliance
parties, Alliance candidates, etc. All
su 'h statements are groundless, ff’he
Alliance is not a political party, makes
no nominations, has never a ticket or
candidates. ff’he Alliance is an order
that iuves tigates political questions and
imparts instruction on political economic
affairs. Members of all political parties
make up the order, and the only influ¬
ence it ext rts is through the information
it secures and imparts to its members on
political or governmental subjects. To
impart reliable information on these
subjects is very dangerous to the present
offense political parties, and this is wherein the
of the Alliance lies. Those
whose deeds are evil fear the light.
Hence the hubbub raised against the Al¬
liance,

A WASTE OF TIME AND SPACE.
The National Economist says editorially.
There are eveu now a number of good
people wasting time and Valuable news¬
paper space in an endeavor to devise
some financial scheme to supplant the
sub treasury plan. While these efforts
are no doubt honest they havos<> far been
futile. The people have decided to push
the sub-treasury plan to a filial conclusion
and will admit of no side tracks. Sixteen
State Alliances have declared foi the sub*
treasury pan. aid their action will bi
followed by all the others. Tt.crcarfl
fuily seven hundred pape s advocating
the plan vigorously and intelligently that
cannot be taken from this position. In
view of the force "which the organization
almost as a unit presents iu favor of ‘hit
plan, suplemented by tlie power ol
au aggressive press, it seems folly tu
w; ste time and cner. y in an attempt
to introduce at the present tima individ¬
ual theories. The difficulty which waits
upon a want of continuity of | utpose on
the part of many earnest rcfoimers lead
to a continual desire for something new
and novel. In many cases a desire foi
personal notoritty induces others to
strive to bring out some plan to which
their narm s may i c attached and thereby
heralded throughout the c. untrv. There
are others, however, who are seeking for
something better, with an honest pur¬
pose of improving the conditions which
have fallen upon the people. These dif¬
ferent classes have had full sway during
the past year, and the result hal
been to solidify more securely
the Alliance upon the sub-treasury plan,
and make the people more earnest in their
demand for its adoption. In every in¬
stance where a substitute h is been offered
it has been rejected, and no one has suc¬
ceeded in making the least impression
on the order in favor of any other plan.
Having stood the test so long and hav¬
ing a backing which no other reform
measure in this country ever had, it
seems unfortunate that all reformers can¬
not unite with the Alliance aud push
this measure to its finlal adoption. Plain
duty to a distressed and discouraged
people seems to dictate such a coutse.
FLORIDA AT CHICAGO.
Arrangements Made for an Appropriate
Exhibit at the Great Fair.

MARVELOUS GROWTH
In the Volume of Business of the
North Carolina Alliance^
A Raleigh dispatch says: Thursday
the annual report of the State Alliance
was issued, shows a wonderful growth in
the business of the order. The co-oper¬
ative stores have done very little. The
fertilizer trade increased 50 per cent.,
14,925 tons of alliance fertilizer having
been sold. The gross amount of sales
for the past year was $494,000. The
state executive committee to transfer the
purchasing Union debt of the alliance New to the
National Company, of York,
upon such terms as they may agree after
the latter company has fully satisfied
them of its legality, and the alliance
makes a formal demand that the general
assembly at its next session pass a secret
ballot law with a provision which read, will
secure to voters, who cannot an

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
For Past Week as Reported by Messrs.
R. G. l)un & Co.
Dun’s review of trade for week ended
October 24 says: Business failures occur¬
ring during the past week number for
the United States 207, Canada 42; a total
of 249, against 259 la-t week.
When important elections are close at
hand speculation generally waits and
business is apt to be dull. This year’s
speculation in stocks is hesitating, but in
wheat and cotton the pressure of enor¬
mous supplies causes lower prices, with
much speculative activity. Meanwhile,
gineral business is remarkably active and
increasing in volume at the west, im¬
proving at the south, and distinctly less
dull than it was a week ago at eastern
cities.
Collections are improving in nearly all
directions, as the liberal movement of
crops enables farmers to settle their ac¬
counts, and to make purchases for the
coming season. Money markets are no
where stringent, at nearly all important
points being quite easy, though with no¬
ticeable improvement iu demand. These
signs plainly promise a strong trade for
the fall and winter. This country, on
accoufft of its heavy exports, is largely a
creditor of other nations, aud far less
th»u usual dependent upon them.
FAVORABLE REPORTS.
the Reports from the various cities are on
whole more favorable. At New Or¬
leans a bitter feeling is seen with large
receipts of cotton and fair of rice
and sugar, and money in active demand.
At Savannah trade holds well, cotton re¬
ceipts reaching 23,000 bales iu one day
and at Jacksonville trade is steady, with
bright prospects.
Wheat has fallen 8f cents; corn is
scarce and cents higher for spot, and
oats If cents higher. Cotton receipts
even surpass those of the same week last
year by 53,000 bales, and the price falls
one-sixteenth with sales of 914,000 bales
at New York.
The iron industry looks stronger. Bar
p ate and structural mills are fairly em¬
ployed, but prices are low. Boot and shoe
manufacture shows signs of more active
demand, and shipments are close to last
year’s. The wool manufacture shows more
demand for dress, and the stocks of these
are relative and low, while for men’s
spring goods the orders of clothiers are
in fair demand, the sudden changes of
popular fancy in late yearshaving induced
extraordinary caution.
The stock market is hesitating, with
ittle change for the week, the treasury
has put out, including new treasury
notes, $1,500,000 more than it has taken
in during the vieek. Merchandise ex¬
ports for the past two weeks have ex¬
ceeded those of the corresponding weeks
last year, while imports 1 all far below
those of a year ago, so that the balance
of trade in product strongly favors con¬
tinued imports of gold. Foreign ex¬
change has declined half a cent during
the week, and money at New York has
been easj and cheap.

LOTTERY MEN INDICTED.

South Dakota.
A di-patch from Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, says: At noon Friday the grand
jury returned eighteen indiements against
the officers and directors of ih Louisiana
lottery. The evidence was all laid before
the jury in the form of affidavits and
kept with the utmost secrecy. TLe de¬
partment at Washington brought the

that their effort in other states before the
United Sta‘es marshal and his deputies
left for New Orleans to arrest the presi¬
and dent, directors vice president, secretary, treasurer
of the lottery company.
The grand jury reported eleven sepa
rate indictments, each giving eighteen
counts against the officers of the Louis¬
iana lottery. Among the lists are Gen¬
eral Beauregard, P. Paul Conrad, president,
and Joseph Horner, secretary. The
indictments are for the transmission of
the lottery’s advertisements through the

REPARATION DEMANDED
Of Chile for the Murder of Citizens of
the United States*
A Cablegram from Santiago de Chile,
says: The United S ates government on
Monday, demanded through Minister Egan, formally
reparation from the govern¬
ment of Chile, for the attack recently
made in Valparaiso upon a number of
seamen of the United States cruiser Bal¬
timore. The demand is no informal sug¬
gestion that the government at Washing¬
ton expects some kind of satisfaction for
the killing aud wounding of the Balti¬
more’s soldiers; it is a friendly-put noti¬
fication, given according to direct orders
received from the state department at
Washington, that the United States de¬
mands an immediate explanation of the
whole affair aud reparation for injuries
indicted.
him Acting upon the instructions sent to
from Washington Mr. Egan pre¬
sented the Chilean junta with a detailed
account of the investigation made by
Captain Schley, of the Baltimore, and by
Mr. Egan himself. These investigations
hud shown that Charles liiggan, one of
the Baltimore’s petty officers, was brutally
assaulted by several Chileans while he
was riding on a street car. Itiggan re
sisted, but was dragged from the car and
murdered by a pistol shot, in the arms of*-
his companion. Turnbeli, another of the
Baltimore’s wounded men, died from his
injuries. He received no lere titan
eighteen shot wounds in the back, two
of them penetrating his lung.
After giving a full list of the Balti¬
more’s crew who were injured by the
mob, Mr. Egan’s statement called atten¬
tion to the fact that thirty-five of the
cruiser’s crew were, on the day of the
riots, arrested, unnecessary violence
being used by the police, aud that they
were detained in custody without due
cause. In conclusion Mr. Egan said that
surgeons of the United States warships
expressed the opinion that some of the
wounds inflicted upon the American
sailors were bayonet wounds and that
this clearly showd that the police officers
of Valparaiso, who are armed with bayo¬
nets, took part in the attack. The
Americans were without arms and prac¬
tically defenseless.
Egan additional also particularly called attention
to the using brutality of the police of
Valparasio in horses to drag the
Americans to prison.
REPARATION DEMANDED.
After making a brief but pointed sum¬
mary of facts, to which he had been in¬
structed to call attention, Minister Egan
informed the repretentatives of the junta
thar, iu the name of the United States,
he demanded reparation for the insults
aud injuries complained of.
Mr. Egan, in presenting Chilean junta
with this stab ment of the assault on the
American sailors, expressed in distinct
terms the feeling of great indignation
which the state department at Washing¬
ton feels at the whole affair, and espe¬
cially at the brutal conduct of the police
of Valparaiso in joining with the mob in
the latter’s attack up n the Baltimore’s
seamen, and in drawing their bayonets
and using them against the unarmed
Americans.

Flagman Ciawford on board. Both
