Some days ago it was telegraphed over
the country that the papers nad been filed
and that suit would be brought against
the officers of the Texas State Alliance
for the recovery of $1,200,000, which was
alleged to have been misappropriated in
some way. The fact that since that news
came, the Alliance and W heel in that State
have held a meeting and consolidated, the
two organizations ought to show that the
members of the Wheel in the State, who
were in a position to know the facts as to
the status of the Alliance, had no fears of
a big suit or anything else.
Tlirougti the nstrumentality of the A1
liance the farmers are educating them
selves on the many economic questions ol
the hour as they never did before.
Through its cflorts congress has made
more efforts in behalf of the wealth pro
ducers thau ever before within twenty
live years. In the past great monopolies
alone made demands, but at last through
education and agitation by the agencies
of the Alliance and similar organizations,
the industrial classes have become arous
ed to their real interest. The introduc
tion ot the anti-trust bill, and lard bill,
the several bills authorizing tho govern
ment to loan money to the fanners at a
very low rate of interest and some others,
were doubtless prompted by demands
made for legislation by farmers. It is
needless to say this is creating a sensation
among professional politicians.— Stenhent

A SEW BILL —SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BUB
TKEAfICBY MEASURE.
A Washington dispatch says: It seems
that the sub-tr. asury bill is to be aban
doned by the men who have been push
ing it before congress. Representative
McClanny, of North Carolina, the man
who has been the most enthusiastic mem
Ikt in favor of the passage of the bill,
and indeed the only memlier of congress
who has yet spoken out in favor of it, on
Tuesday abandoned the light by intro
ducing a bill which he proposes to sub-
ititute tor the sub-treasury measure, the
bill was drawn up by Col. Polk, the pres
ident of the Al.iance, assisted by Mr. Mc-
Clanny. Thus it will have the support
if the Alliance officers in preference to
the other measure. The bill is entitled,
“An act to authorize the issuing of legal
tenders for school and other purjioses,
based on lands of the United States.” It
provides t hat the treasury shall issue legal
tenders ro me amount or fao per capita
to be based on the next census, or about
$1,800,000,000 of greenbacks, which is
to be distributed among the states in pro
portion to population. The government is
to issuo to the states, and the states are to
loan the money on real estate at one per
cent interest. It provides that no jierson
shall borrow more than $2,500, ana in no
case shall a loan exceed seventy-five per
cent on the assessed value of lands for
the five years preceding the loan. At each
census, the amount is to be reapportioned.
It also provides that preference shall lie
given in all cases to those whose lands
are mortgaged, interest to be paid on the
first day of each January, and if not paid,
the government must sell the lands. All
interest received shall be applied to the
school fund of the various states, each
state receiving the amount of interest
paid on the loans in its borders.
This bill, Major McClanny says, will be
supjiorted tu preference to the sub
treasury bill, and he further added that
many of the southern congressmen owed
him n debt of gratitude forgetting them
out of the scrape of answering the sub
treasury question. He says anybody can
vote for his bill, and he thinks it will
pass. The bill, however, seems to have
been hastily drawn up. In speaking of it
a member of the judiciary committee,
who is recognized as the ablest lawyer in
the house, said that tlje ma
jority of stilt os would have to
change their constitutions to comply
with the requirements of the hill; t'.at
under the constitutions of the majority of
stntes. no one is authorized to receive the
money after the government lias issued
it. 'I he bill is, however, received with
delight by ninny of the timid congress
men who have been astraddle the fence
for many months—those who could not
speak out in favor of the sub
treasury bill, but w ho feared to come out
against it. They believe this is a death
blow to tho sub-treasury scheme, espe
cially as it is Colonel Folk’s bill, and be
ing prepared by him, it must be the
choice of the Alliance. Many of them
will not fear to favor this. 'Jhe course
of this new measure in congress will be
watched with interest.

COMMENTS ON THE NEW BILL.
Macune, chairman of the Farmers’Alli
ance legislative committee, upon being
asked about the status of the sub-treasury
bill and if the Alliance would adopt the
McClammy bill as a substitute, wrote out
the following in reply: “The sub-treas
ury bill is really more popular every day.
It is being discussed and approved by
the great Conservative element of the
country; not farmers alone, but lawyers,
doctors, merchants, and even bankers are
often in favor of it. It is the only meas
ure that lias ever been offered that en
courages the growth of the county, town
and rural city, and will stimulate home
enterprise and induce manufacturing in
the country. Hence the real support of
the measure is increasing every day, and
it makes no difference what the present
congress may do with the bill before it,
the principle seeking recognition in the
sub treasury bill is based on ultimate
Iruth, meets the approbation of nearly all
who take the trouble to understand it,
and must in time prevail. Mr. McClain
rny’s bill is, in no sense of the word, nn
Alliance measure, and is not, nor will it
ever be, a substitute for the sub-treasury
bill. He had no right or authority to say
that it was endorsed by every Alliance in
the land. It fills an entirely different
field, and if it should become a law,there
would still be just as great a necessity for
the sub-treasury bill as now. It seeks
simply to increase the volume of money
by lending money on land. The Alliance
has not discussed or acted upon that
question.”

Col. 1.. L. Folk, president of the Farm
era’ Alliance, says that lie is not the
author if the McClammy bill, introduced

PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE
BRIEFED—DELIBERATIONS OYER MAT
TERS OF MOMENTOUS INTEREST TO OCR
COMMON COUNTRY. —NOTES.
In the senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Sher
man, from the committee on foreign af
fairs, reported an amendment to be offer
ed to the consular and diplomatic appro
priation bill, authorizing the President
to carry into effect the recommendation
of the international conference by the
appointment (by and with the advice and
consent of the senate) of three commis
sioners to represent the United States in
the inter-continental railway commission,
whose compensation is to be paid from
the common fund to be contributed by
the several nations interested. Mr. Call
yielded the floor to Mr. Allison, who pre
sented the conference report on the army
appropriation bill, Mr. Ingalls inquired
what had been done in regard to the sen
ate amendment prohibiting the sale of
alcoholic liquors, beer or wine in can
teens. Mr. Allison said that the provi
sion had been modified so as to read “that
no alcoholic liquors, beer or wine shall be
sold or supplied to enlisted men in any
canteen, or post-trader’s store, in any
state or territory in which the sale Of al
coholic liquors, beer or wine is prohib
ited by law.” Mr. Vest, at 6:10, moved
adjournment. The motion was agreed
to, and the senate, at 6;40, adjourned
till Thursday.
The house was called to order Wednes
day morning by Speaker Iteed. After
the reading of the journal, Mr. O’Neil, of
Pennsylvania, presented the credentials ol
Mr. Vaux, and they having been read by
the clerk, he escorted Mr. Vaux to the
bar of the house, and the latter gentle
man qualified as representative from the
third district of Pennsylvania and Mr.
V aux affirmed, and as he took his seat
he was greeted with applause. On mo
tion of Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, a bill was
passed appropriating $125,000 for the
establishment of a national military park
at the battlefield of Chicamauga. Con
ference was ordered on the naval appro
priation bill, and then the house went
into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows
in the chair) on the river and harbor bill.
The pending question was on the point
of order raised by Mr. McCreary, of New
York, against the clause prescribing pen
alties upon the owners of bridges which
obstruct the navigation of rivers. The
committee then rose and reported the
bill to the house. The bill was then
passed without division. Adjournment
was ordered from Thursday until Mon
day, and the house adjourned. n
The house was almost deserted Thurs
day morning, the majority of demo
cratic members being in Richmond.
Public building bills consumed the day.
In committee of the whole bills appro
priating neatly $5,000,000 were passed.
The public building bills passed so far
this session amount to $9,000,000, with
$5,000,000 still on the calendar. The
chances arc that President Harrison will
use his veto pen freely when they reach
the white house.
In the senate, on Thursday, Mr. Teller
introduced the following joint resolution,
which was laid on the table and ordered
printed: That it is the determined policy
of the United States government to use
both gold aud silver as full legal tender
money, under the ratio now existing in
the United States, or which may hereafter
be established by the Unitd States alone,
or acting in accord with other nations.
The senate bill subjecting imported li
quors to the provisions of the laws of the
several states, was again taken up.
After considerable discussion, the bill
was passed—yeas, 84; nays, 10. It reads:
“That all fermented, distilled or other
intoxicating liquors or liquids, trans
ported into any state or territory for use,
consumption, sale or storage shall, on ar
rival in such a state or territory (or re
maining therein), be subject to the oper
ation of the laws of such state or territo
ry, enacted in the exercise of police pow
ers, to the same extent and in the same
manner as though such liquor or liquids
had been produced in such state or terri
tory, and shall not be exempt therefrom
by reason of being introduced tkprein in
original packages or otherwise.” The
river and harbor appropriation bill was
received from the house and referred to
the committee on commerce. After a
brief executive session the senate ad
journed till Monday.
KOTES.
Decoration Day was observed as a
general holiday iu Washington and all
government departments, district offices,
banks and many business houses were
closed.
•The house committee on commerce has
directed a favorable report to be made on
the bill amending the interstate com
merce law so as to permit railroad com
panies to give reduced rates to veterans
attending encampments, with an amend
ment extending the same privileges to
veteran confederate soldiers.
Supervisors of the census have been in
structed where persons refuse to answer
questions relating to physical and mental
disabilities, or questions relating to farms,
homes and mortgages, to enter iu the
proper column the words “refused to an
swer.” All legal proceedings will be in
stituted by the Washington office through
the department of justice.
Senator Carlisle’s alliance letter was
the talk of Washington Sunday. The
Southern members have been particularly
interested in it, and it is believed by
them to be the death of the sub-treasury
scheme. Indeed, they believe after all
the Alliance have read this letter they
will abandon the sub-treasury bill and be
gin to look for something better.
There is a movement on foot in the
senate to have congress take a recess from
the first of July to the first of October.
The reason the men who have proposed
this assign is that the senate finance
committee will take at least three months
to prepare a tariff bill, to report to the
senate as a substi ue for the house bill,
and that while tlrs committee is at work
there will be no business for the houses
to tra sact outside of that which they
finish by the first of July.
