NEWS OF THE ORDER AND ITS MEMBERS. WHAT IB JtKISCt DONE IN THE VARIOUS SECTIONS FOll THE ADVANCEMENT OF THIS GREAT ORGANIZATION.—I.EGIBI.A -TION, Nol*s, ETC. The Alliance is a business institution and should Lie used in a business way. * * * The Alliani te is going through a crys talizing proce s just now and they can but be fathful to their vows they will in the end come out on top. * * # * The Arkainsa* Economist says: ‘T’asi the sub-treasury bill and the work of the speculator is at an end. There will he no more corners- on farm products. ♦ * * The Thomtoton Times says the direct ors of the Alliance store have decided to establish a fruit canning factory at that place, and that, work will be commenced at once. * * We now have twenty-eight states and territories organized in our grand union, north and south, with an estimated mem bership of nearly three mi.lion.— Weekly Toiler. * * Farmers should stay away from the loan agents. They charge you about 20 per cent on the money you borrow, be sides making you give a mortgage on your home. ♦ * * There are 136 CGunty Alliances and about 2,310 county sub-Alliances, with a total membership of about 65,000 males and 20,000 females in the state of Geor gia.—Southern Alliance Farmer. * * * At Deepwater, Mo., the Farmers and laborers’ Union and the Knights of La bor united on a city ticket and placed it in the field; the result was the election of their mayor, police judge, marshal, and three-fourths of the city council. The Alliance warehouse at Griffin, Ga., has received nearly twenty thousand bales of cotton this season. It has $4,500 in bank, and lias declared a dividend of for ty-five cents per bale, which amount goes to the members of the Alliance. * * * It is said that the Farmers’ Alliance has saved the farmers of America $5,000,- 000 in. twine, $2,500,000 on bagging, and it is claimed that through the operations of the Alliance Exchange discounts have been secured that will make the amount saved by farmers SIO,OOO, annually. * * * Thorn is no mason on narth why the TO tAil merchants and all honorable business men should not join the producers and laborers in their demands for relief. The merchant depends upon the patronage of the fanner und laborer, and whatever tends to Impoverish his patrons will in the long run impoverish him also. Yet the dealers are regarding the efforts of tbo producers with littio favor. In fact they tro endeavoring to discourage them in their demands for justice. This is al together unwise. Ex. ~ * * * The National Alliance (Houston, Tex.), organ of the Colored Alliance, prints a communication from South Carolina de scribing the good work of the colored order: I know that I don’t overstate the facts when I declare that the Alliance has been more to these people than a grand second emancipation. Of course much remains yet to be done. We must stick together; we must pay our dues and fees. Wc havo now in this State nearly one thousand organized Alliances, and still the cause roils forward. I am satisfied that the Alliance is the harbinger of Christ’s grand coming. * * * The Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union does not desire to injure any polit ical party, but if fitese old parties stick up their hydra-heads and thus impede our progress, they swelter in their own blood. The greater number of individ ual adherents to each party is ripfiit in their heart, but when the policies and platforms of their respective parties are dictated by such leaders as are now at their heads, they prove a means of fur thering the schemes of trusts, monopo lies, bankets, railroads and speculator*. Make your party be light’and do right or else leave it at the feet of its unholy gods and idols. —Fanners and laborers 1/nion Journal. AVo see from our exchanges that the Farmers’ Alliance are starting up enter prises of every kind all over the South for the benefit of their members. This is ns it should be. The influence of this great order is begiuning to be strongly felt by that class who seemed to think the farmer their especial prey and who laughed in their sleeve when it was first started, and before the end of 1890 they will be wailing because they can no longer fleece him by “time prices,” usurious in terest, etc. 'God spcea trie any when tlie farming class shall he entirely free from such thralldom. Talbotton Yew Bra. ♦ * * A case has recently come to our knowl edge where an Alliance made a surprise party and relieved a brother who was in need, doing it iu a kiudly way that brought A ith it no sense of humiliation. This is right. The Alliance should be a real brotherhood in which kindly acts as well as feelings should have fu.l and free expression, and where none should be permitted to fall by the way. The man who is helped is not by any means the only one benefitted, for it is not a mere sentiment, but a fact, that “it is better to give than to receive.” As the feeling of brotherhood grows, this mutual help lullncss will become a prominent feature of the Alliance. —Nebraska Farmer. * * * The country has entered on perilous times. The agricultural interests are threatened with bankruptcy and ruin. The power of money to oppress has, through the manipulations of selfish men and the treachery of your public servants, reached the poiut where it must be checked. Fortunately for the country the people have been aroused to an ap preciation of the alarming situation. Our nope is based on their patriotism and manhood. They must nerve themselves uo to the demands of the situation, and elect men to represent them whose lives and records entitle them to confidence. Such an 1 only such should he elected tc oar Legislature ami to Congress.— Th* Progressive Farmer, (Raleigh. N. C. * ♦ * A dispatch of Thursday from Wash ington, D. C., says Mr. Clements has ad dressed a letter to the Floyd county, Ga , Alliance in reply to certain questions formulated by that organization, in which he declares tlint he is in full sympathy with their demand, except those which suggest government control of railroads and telegraph lines and the scheme of sub-treasuries. He objects to these be cause of the extraordinary expense that thev would entail. _ and . because_thus would require Tne rmpTorment'Oi thous ands of partisans whose efforts would be directed more in behalf of the political success of the administration in which they were employed rather than for the promotion of the business with which they might lie charged. TRADE REVIEW. DUN ft. CO. *8 REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MAY 24lT[. It. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review ui trade says: Speculation in some lines is active The volume of legitimate busi ness is greater than it lias been at this season in auy previous year. Money is comparatively easy and commercial credit undisturbed. The volume of business at New York lias been swelled by heavy speculation, and at Boston sales of stock are three times those of last year. But bank clearings at Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago arc twenty-nine per cent higher than a year ago, while the aggre gate at all other points outside of New York is twenty-five per cent above last year Railroad earnings for May show an increase of fifteen per cent, not withstanding tlie heavy cutting of rates. Labor strikes are nowhere mentioned as causing disturbances in trade. The great iron industries also look better. The cotton market is supported by the strong tone of good trade. Nothing fa vorable can be reported of the woolen trade, except that makers are still buying, with tlie hope that a change at tariff may lessen foreign competition. Wheat has been strong, rising two cents with sales of 33,000,090 bushels at New York, and reports continue fair. Corn has declined nearly a cent, and oats have risen as much. Pork products are all a shade lower, and coffee is un changed. But oil has risen over 5 cents and cotton 7-10; selling at 12$ over mid dling uplands, recorded sales for the week reaching 575,000 bale. Iu general the prices of products are lower than a week ago, ami will naturally decline as the new crop approaches.

A dispatch from Fall River,Mass.,says-. One of the saddest and most heart-rend ing accidents which has occurred in this city in years took place on Watuppa lake about 12 :l5 o’clock ou Sunday afternoon. A party of twelve persons, among them two women and five children, hired a boat at the pond and went out rowing. There was a strong wind blowing and the water was ruffled. The boat into which the party embarked was a common flat tomed one, the seating capacity was eight and it was too small to accommodate so many people. The party" was observed rowing to work their way toward shore. This was difficult work, as the water was rough and strong and the rowers inexpe rienced. When the boat load of pleasure seekers was within twenty feet of the shore, one of the children rocked the boat, and, without a moment’s warning, it capsized. Heart-rending cries rent tiie air, which were hesrd by fireman Bullock, of the pumping station, and James Laffer ty, but they were unable to render as sistance. In the meantime the women were struggling in the water. Three or four parties on shore called to them to cling to the boat, but their failing strength was unequal to the task, and the women and children sank out of sight, Four of the parties had struck out for the shore and succeeded in reaching it in au exhausted condition. The following were drowned, their bodies being recovered later in the day: SamuelAVittlcs, agedso; Mrs. Wittles, aged 45; Henry AVittles, aged 10; Samuel Wittles, jr., aged 12; Levina Buckley, aged 35; Fred Buckley, aged 3; Willie Buckley, aged 8; Willie Turner, aged 9. STOLE THE FUND. HOW A MEMBER OF A CHARITY COMMITTEE TRIED TO GET RICH. Geo. S. Turner was arrested in New York Tuesday night upon a telegram from the chief of police of Seattle, Wash ington, charging him with the larceny ol $14,000. It seems that when Seattle was nearly wiped out by fire aland a year ago the cry for aid brought thousands of dol lars from all parts of the country, which money was placed in the hands of a dis bursing committee. One of the meiryber? of the committee was Geo. McCourt, whe had been known as a reputable business man. In liis district McCourt met Turner, who had started a store, and it is alleged that the couple united interests and all supplies for McCourt’s district, was sold through Turner's store. Several hills for large amounts were sent to the disbursing committee. These bills wets certified by Turner, and the two divided the profits. The t dal amount tints abstracted is ovet #15,000.

In ante-bellum days the Magnetic Iron company operated furnaces and rolling mills on this property. THE KEMMLER. CASE. THE SUPREME COURT DENIES APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF ERROR. A dispatch from Washington, says: The supreme court of the United States on Friday denied the application for a writ of error in the ease of Kemmler, un tler sentence of death by electricity. The court quotes the opinion in the llurtado case on the meaning of the phrase “due process of law. ” The change in the form of death was within the legitimate sphere of the legislative power of the state. The legislature of the state of New York de termined that it did not inflict cruel or unusual punishment, and its courts have sustained that determination. This court cannot see that the prisoner has been de prived of the due process of law. In or der to reverse the judgment, this court should be compelled to hold ihat the court of appeals had committed an error so gross as to deprive the prisoner of his constitutional rights. The court has no hesitancy in saying it cannot do this. It is stated that Lawyer Sherman wi 1 furth er delay the execution of Kemmler by an other appeal to the supreme court of the United States. He claims that there was no ruling on the writ of habeas corpus case in Judge Wallace’s court. A KENTUCKY CYCLONE. GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, BUT NO LOSS OF LIFE.
