A f ter passing the customary complimentary tion adjourned resolutions, the conven sine die. ** The Indiana sta'e Farrr.eis’ Alliance closed its session Saturday by the elec¬ tion of delegates to the national conven- adopted *o«> m endorsing November, resolutions were the Octala and St. % ouls national Platforms, demanding the abolition *o bunk issues of currency and ‘the issue of legal tender notes to b •* loan- •ed according; to the subtre .sury plan; demanding the abolition of free railroad #or passes; ignoring denouncing the the last legislature labor; demands of confcdcra eel demanding national and state legislation to prohibit the manufacture »nd sale of liquors, and demanding equa rights for women. * * * ffho Southern Mercury (Dallas, Tex.) ’says: Ihe retail merchants, Dwyers, ‘doct-ons and other necessary profe-sions •are Uicmselves beginning all ovtr Texas to align on the side of the Alliance demands, ffho pinch for money, not¬ withstanding farmers, the herculean efforts of the mechanics and all other wage- earners to obta u money with which to meet their obligations, is having its nat utal ( fleet upon those who associate and deal directly with the wealth producers.

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, OFFICIAL NOTICE.

O. *** * CO-OPERATIVE STORES IX KENTUCKY. The national Uuiou Company, of the New York Co operative, which grew out of the farmers’ convention at Ocala, Fia., and received the approval of President Polk, has been established in Louisville, Ky. The Farmers’ Alliance had already established business at Louisville, and did last ye\r about seventy-five thousand dollars’ worth of trade. Options have been secured on thirty-five and stores \ ice at various points in the state, President Wilson, of the national union, h«e transferred them to agents chosen by farmers’ county organizations as fast as possible.

Given under my hand and seal at Washington, D. C., this, the 10th dayol October 1891. L. L. Polk, President National Farmer*’ Alliance and Industrial Union. * * A 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. Florida’s world’s fair directory, thir¬ teen in number, chosen at the recent con¬ vention at Orlando, met in Jacksonville Thursday for organization and conference W. D. Chipley, of Pensacola was elected president and George W. Wilson, of Marion county, secretary.

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 opportunity to vote.

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. NEW CAMPS Ordered for th United Confederate Veterans* General Gordon, on Saturday, issued the following otder from United Confed¬ erate Veteran headquarters at New Or¬ leans: General order No. 20.

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.

Both were killed, and their bodies burned with the car. NUMBER 43 GREEN GOODS SHARPERS. A Den of them Unearthed iu Now York City.
