The Toiler, of Nashville, Tenn., says 1 here was over two hundred Alliances chartered in tho past sixty days, and forty Wheels in the same length of time. * The Newbcme (N. C.) Daily Journal says: “When in the course of human events an Alliance rises to protest against any political action, it will be justly con sidered a summons to halt and deliberate upon the situation.” The Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union Milling Company, of Washington county, Arkansas, has tiled articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State.

The “home market'’ tlcory don't appear to work well there. — Southern Alli ance. Farmer , Atlanta, Ga. * + + 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 ville {Tex.) Headlight. * * * 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.” •vii at colonel polk says. Col. 1.. L. Folk, president of the Farm era’ Alliance, says that lie is not the author if the McClammy bill, introduced W ulues lay, which provides for the Gov ernment to lend money on 1 inds at one percent, it w as, he says, draw n up by iii- private secretary, and he knew noth ing about it. lie lurther said: • We shall not abandon the sub-treas ury until it lias been squarely defeated, or until some belter measure has been proposed. We considered land measuris Define the sub treasury bill was prepared, and d‘cided that such measures would not give to tbe eumn.-y sufficient flexi bility. However, I have not made n care ful enough examination of the McClain my bill to give an opinion. If, howevei Iter examination we find this bill betti nan the sub-treasury, 1 should be p. i ectlv willing to abandon the latter.” WILL ANTE UP. cashier Thompson's short a of. will be St ADE OOOI).

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. WORK OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CCNGRESB. 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.
