lt is not because the Alliance does not

The Alliance Vindicator (Sulphur
Springs, Texas,) sas: “Alliancemen every
where are learning to ask questions about
the stewardship of public servants that are
simply paralyzing to a lot of bosses who
constitute the court-house rings of our
county seats.

The Arkansas Farmer, (Little Rock,)
puts it thus: “If this government must
depend upon wheat and cotton to bring
back our gold from Europe, and keep the
balance of trade in its favor, cannot these
same products be depended cn to hold
the gold at home and keep up the balance
of trade between our own people? The
farmers think so.

onr last issue several other states have
wheeled into line and declared solid for
the Ocala demands The list up to the
present is as follows:
North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina,
Maryland, Alabama, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas,
Georgia and Arkansas. „
In all these thirteen conventions there
were but three votes against the sub-
treasury plan.
The Democrat, (McKinney, Tex.) notes :
“The Alliance movement bad its birth in
the South and baa spread over the Union,
and has broken down sectionalism and
united the farmers North and South in one
grand patriotic Union to stand by their
rights; the North has token the lead in
declaring their independence of the old
political parties and all that now remains
is for the Southern brotherhood to go and
do likewise. We have faith that they
will be wi b ns in ’92. Tne people are
coming to save the nation.”

Virginia State Alliance in its
recent convention elected the following
officers : President, T. A. Houston; Vice-
President, J. R. Thayer; Secretary Bnd
Treasurer, B. J. Parks; Lecturer, Joel
Johnson; Business Agent, J. M. Sident-

showed thirty-eight county organizations,
an increase of eighteen within the year,
while there are 800 local Alliances, with
18,000 members. Resolutions were adopt
ed reaffirming tbe Ocala platform; leaving
tbe question of a third party open; favor
ing temperance and urging tbe importance
of a faimers’ exchange and appointing a
committee to work to that end.

It is reported that the committee on leg
islation in tbe International Labor Con
gress in recent session at Brussels, Ger
many, favored tbe pledging of working
men in all countries not to support any
candidate for public positions unless they
are prepared to advocate reforms in tbe
interest ot labor and to support legislation
demanded by workingmen. It ia evident
that the delegates to this convention are
in full sympathy with the ideas advanced
by the Alliance. It ibecomes more evi
dent every day that these ideas are gain
ing ground and cryataliziug. Tbe time
will soon come when tbe working people
in every line, including many business and
professional men, will be arrayed on one
aide and money lords and smart Alecks on
the other. It is a great pity, but if it must
be let it come In a deliberate, peaceable

Progressive Farmer.
Almost as old as the bills
Tbe Progressive Farmer (Raleigh N. C.)
says : Some of tbe opposers of tbe sub
treasury still argue that it is a new, wild
nnheard-of thing. Again they say to us
that tbe sub-treasury plan ia impractica
ble, yet tnis same plan has been tried with
abundant success in ibis country before
these young Solomons bad existence.
Turn back a few pages of your country’s
bistory and read about tbe'land loan
scheme of tbe Pennsylvania colony, and
tbe tobaccp warehouse system of Virginia,
which at tbe time saved the colonials from
utter ruin; then read a little French histo
ry and aee bow this same warehouse plan
in 1858 brought Fiance ont of an extremis
ty of dire necessity and made ber people
prosperous and happy. Not practis&It
and here we have tbe “proof of the pud
ding’.” We admit that it don’t suit the
ragtag and bobtail politicians, bat it does
suit the great mass of producers in this
country, and they are going to have it.
But even if it was untried, common sense
ought to pointlt out many good points.
The surplus is now warehoused until con
sumers call for it, aod at a vast expense.
During the present century France came
onto! a war owing hundreds of millions
of dollars. Her people are noted for their
patriotism. What did they do for a circu
lating medium? They deposited their
surplus crops in warehouses, borrowed
money and paid off tbe indebtedness in a
short time. Even yet this sub-treasury
plan for the if sue of money ia used in
France instead of bonds.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
One fine morning between forty and fif
ty years ago a little French bootblack was
siaudiug at tbe entrance of ihe Pont Neuf,
one of the finest of the many bridges that
cross tbe Si-ioe between the two great di-
visioi'B of Paris.
The boy was watching for customers,
but there were none to be bad yet, for it
was too early. At length, finding nothing
else to do, he took a piece of chalk from
the one unbirn pocket that be possesed
and began to sketch a face upon the atone
parapet of tbe brMge.
A very strange face it was, very broad
across the jaws and narrowing as it sloped
upward, so that what with its curious
shape and wi h the pointed tuft of hair
that stood up from the high, narrow fore
head, it looked at a little distance exactly
like an enormous pear. Bui|it was plain
that this was the likeness of some real man
and that the boy was immensely amused
at it, for be chuckled to himself ail the
time he was working, and more than
once laughed outright.
S > completely was he taken up with hia
picture (which was now very near,y fin
ished) that he was unconscious that some
body else was very much takeu up with it
too.
A stout, gray-haired old gentleman, very
plainly dressed in a faded brown coat and
shabby bat, and carrying a cotton umbrel
la under bis arm, had come softly across
the road, slipped up behind tbe pear-like
face on tbe wall witu a grin of silent
amusement.
And well he might, for strange to say,
bis own face was the very image of that
wbich the boy was sketching so eagerly.

A NEGLECTED BOOK.
BY REV. W. D HEATH.
Higher’ of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17,1889.
Divine revelation is the source of all
truth. This revelation is in two volumes.
One the works of nature around and with
in us. The other the Bible, or book of in
spired words
Tbe excellency of each of these books
or volumes is beaut if ully celebrated in the
nineteenth Psalm. The volume of nature
in the first six verses. “The heavens dt-
cluretb tbe glory of God. The firmament
showelh his bandy woik," etc.
The volume of words from 7tb to 12th
“The law of the Lord is perfect concern
ing the soul,” etc. A11 wisdom is to be
gathered from this ample storehouse. Yet
bow few of ua read anything truly from
tbe first, the “volume of works,” aod how
often we disparage er treat with indiffer
ent skepticism the efforts ot science to un
fold tbe leaves and make plain the lan
guage of this wonder 1 ul volume, as if
there could be any truth here that can
dash with any truth in the other volume.
There can never be any conflict between
true science and theology Religion has
nothing to fear from the most perfect
knowledge possible of nature. Defective
knowledge on tbe one band and misinter
pretation of Scripture on the other have,
and will perhaps continue, to bring about
apparent conflict. But deeper and truer
knowledge of both nature and tbe Bible
will always heal the breach.
We aee ihe absurdity and pride of tbe
old superstition that this earth was the
center of the solar system; and rejoice in
tbe clear light which tbe Copernican the
ory has brought us. How bitter the cry
of A' h.isrn rained at tbe time was Gallileo
might tell naif be could speak from tbe
grave. Nat one jot or tittle of Bible truth
has been harmed by tbe theory so loudly
denounced aa atheistical. A perfect
knowledge of nature aud tbe Bible would
show ns that God speaks one language,
both in the Bible and in the starry heav
ens above us, the beautiful world around
us, its amazing contents beneath us, and
tbe sentiment soul within us.
The undevout scientist, as be dissiots
with ready band and practiced eye, may
find nothing but nature’s rude material,
and vainly seek to banish God and spirit
from their tabernacle But to tbe rever
ent soul God isj everywhere, and in all
things. Not as the pantheist would teach
us. Not even as the Pope in those often
quoted, but semi-pantheistic lines, sings of
God as tbe soul of nature, who
“Warms in tbe sun, refreshes in the
breeze,
Glows in the stars, and blossoms in tbe
trees,
Lives through all life, extends through all
extent,
8preads undivided, operates unspent.”
But everywhere, and in aH things, as the
thinking spirit is always, and necessarily,
buck of every material manifestation.

for the beauty of its fi iish and tbe grand
eur of its architecture, ia but the outward
and material manifestation of the ibongfat

back against tbe wall, looking frightened
out of his wits.

the oid gentleman, who was indeed no

in time to serve as a model. Go on, pray;
don’t let me interrupt you.”
The boy’s first impulse was to take to

twinkle io the King's small gray eyes
which gave him courage, and looking sly

Ten Thousand Dollars of the Ooatlncont
Liabilities Bars Been Paid Off Up to
Date Without a Cent of Loss—The
Creditors* Assistance AU Is That Is
Needed.
New York, Oct. 9.—Benjamin F.
Elatine, assignee of Abraham Backer,
dealer in commercial paper at 286 Broad
way, who failed recently with heavy
liabilities, has perfected a plan for the j’
liquidation of the affairs of Mr. Backer
by means of a trust, whereby it is ex
pected that tbe creditors will be paid
in full.
Mr. Backer possessed a large amount
of southern railroad bonds and securi
ties, which can only be disposed of ad
vantageously as a favorable opportunity 1
is presented. It is thoaght that a care
ful nursing of these assets under the
proposed trust will produce a surplus.
Three quarters of the New York credit
ors are understood to have consented to
the tnut proposition. Under it the
trustees are to be Benjamin FI Eurs-
teln, Herman Myers and Hen Rios.
The trust agreement provides that
the creditors shall accept whatever div
idends they may be entitled to under
the trust in full satisfaction of their
Claims against Mr. Backer, provided
such dividend be not less than 60 per
cent., and provided, also, that such of
the creditors as hold security for their
claims shall receive a dividend of the
balance of their claims after exhaust
ing and applying the securities toward
the payment thereof, and if any sur
plus remains it shall be paid over to the
trustees.
The trustees can neither sell the as
sets nor hold them; can redeem any se
curities or other property pledged as
collateral for loans in which Mr. Backer
had a reversionary interest or right of
redemption; can make payments on ac
count of the debts, for which snch se
curities are pledged to prevent or post
pone the foreed sale of snch securities;
tpoy borrow money upon the security of
the assigned estate and convert into
cash the securities they redeem; can
settle claims against or m favor of Mr.
Backer, and may employ agents gener
ally to transact any business connected
with the trust.
If any creditor makes a claim against
Mr. Backer which the the trustees dis
pute the trustees may refer the claim
to an advisory board, composed of Os
car S. Strauss, William L. Strong and
Y. Henry Rothschild.
The trnst agreement is not valid un
less creditors whose claims aggregate
97 per cent, of tbe unsecured claims
sign it. Trustee Herman Myers of
Savannah, has arrived here, and as all
trustees are now in town a speedy set
tlement is expected. It was said that
$100,000 of the contingent liabilities have
been paid off np to date without a cent
of loss.

Wnrtembnrg, who died on Tuesday last
at the railroad depot Shortly after
reaching Stuttgard the emperor, accom

comed his arrival, proceeded to the cas
tle and entered the hall where the re
mains of King Karl were lying in state.
The emperor then laid a magnificent
wreath of flowers upon the casket and
beside the remains of the dead ruler of
Wurtemburg. After a short prayer
the emperor rose aud conversed in low
tones with King William. Grand Duke
Michael, of Russia, in view of the fact
that the wife of the late king was a
Russian princess, (Grand Dnchess Giga,
daughter of Emperor Nicholas,) has ar
rived to attend the funeral as the rep

The Joint Coommittee appointed to ex-
p mine into tbe legality of leases of va
rious Georgia roads files a report which
is sensational The committee consists
of Senators, Calloway, Ellington and
Representatives Berner, Huff and Twit-
t“.
The report is a document of five thous
and words. All members of the commr-
tee sign it but Huff, who claims that he
was only shown it this morning and
hasn’t bad an opportunity of studying
it-
In brief tbe report provides that the
lease of the S >uth Western road by the
Central is good. The leate of tbe
Augusta and Savannah by the Central
is good; as is least* of the Eatonton
road by the Central.
ibe report says that tbe
Georgia road bad tbe right to
lease itsolf, and while there is some
doubt as to the Central’s right to own
one-half of said lease, still the commifc-
t- a thought there might be enough in
toe charter to sustain it. The lease of
tbe Macon and Northern by Lae Rich
mond and Danville and Central is de-
c'ared contrary to the constitution, as a
r. it ter of law, but the committee does
c n t under tale to state as a matter of
fr.?t whether competition has been
lessened or defeated.
’I he lease of the Central to the Geor
g's Pacific tbe committee thinks is also
contrary to the constitution, as a mat
te- of law. Tbe committee is also of
tie opinion that the Central, under its
charter, did not have the right to lease
it *sif to the Georgia Pacific.
The committee thinks, however, that
t!ie Central could have leaded tbe Geor-
g> Pacific. This report is sure to cre
ate big discussion in the legislature.
