The Jacksboro, Texas, Sentinel savs:
“The farmers’ movement in the South has
assumed such proportions that it h«s now
become necessary for newspaper cor re-
spondents to open their campaign o!
lying. The Washington fakirs who cook
up specials for the New- York dailies are
loaded to the muzzle "with charges against
the ‘demagogues who work upon the
cupidity does require of the Southern farmers.’ It
not much thought to dis¬
cover how these fellows know so much
about the daily happenings hundreds of
miles away. The office holder is getting
very uneasy.”

The AUiana Union (Eureka, Kan.jsays:
“The fact is well known within the Al¬
liance, and the politicians of both parties
are beginning to realize it. that the Alli¬
ance nas aeeompusueu wnat tne sworu,
the press and pulpit failed to do. The
Mason and Dixon line, on which thr
bloody shirt has been hung every foui
years, has at last been obliterated. Th*
stock in trade of the politician has been to
wave the bloody shirt and keep up sec-
tional strife and hatred to keep the peo-
pie divided, but the cotton planters of
the South and the* farmers of the North
and West have bid the old parties good¬
bye and united for their mutual interests.
The bloody-sliirt gang now seek to create
dissensiou and strife within the industrial
organizations by defaming the character
and reputation of the Alliance leaders.”

At the annual meeting of the Virginia Lynch¬
State Alliance, held recently at
burg, the following resolutions were
unanimously “Whereas, adopted: Alliances shaking hands
are
across the Potomac, across the Missis¬

Rockies, and, far grander still, across the
“bloody chasm,” across Mason and
Dixon’s line; and whereas conscienceless
politicians in our national Congress have
advocated measures old and expressed feeling senti¬

Jiesolced, That we, the State Farmers’

prejudice between us, until the financial

Dallas New of the 28th roports the fol-

THE STRIKING CAIIPENTER8 OF CHICAGO
ARE AT OUTS.
A Chicago dispatch says: The carpen¬
ters’ strike died in its borning, and on
"Wednesday there were less than 700 car¬
penters who refused to go to work on
Tuesday morning still out. President
James O’Connell, of the carpenters’ coun¬ of
cil, has been forced by the discontent
members of the union to resign. The ac¬
tion of the strike committee in authoriz¬
ing carpenters who are receiving 37J
cents an hour to return to work has been
severely criticised. A committee was ap¬
pointed to visit the carpenters’ council
and vigorously protest against any of the
men being allowed to return to work un¬
til all the men receive assurance from
their employers that the union scale
of figures would be paid. There is con¬
fusion and chaos in the rank and file and
consternation among the leaders, The
employers assert that they have all the
men they want.

TWO MEN KILLED AND TWO OTHERS TER¬

Friday evening, a colored man named
Joe Solomon, employed in the Wheel¬

plied the current to the arc electric lights
used in the tunnel headings, and was
instantly killed. An Italian, who is
known only by his contract number,
ste|u>ed on the same wire just as Solomon
fell, and was also instantly killed. Two
other men were badly shocked in drawing

FACTS FOR THE SICK!
A Letter from an Eminent Di¬
vine in Regard to the Best
Medicine in the World.
Read.
Wondorful Cures.
Atlanta, Ga., January 3, 1890.
Six months ago, at the request of a
friend who was interested in the sale of
King’s Royal Germetuer, I made a writ¬
ten statement of the benefits I had re
ceived from the use of that medicine. In
that statement I expressed the belief that
it would cure me entirely of catarrh.
Within the last two months I have re¬
ceived letters from every quarter of 1 he
nation calling on me for further informa¬
tion in regard to my health. It has been
impossible for me to write privately to
each person who has made this request,
and I am therefore under the necessity of
makiug another public statement.
I am free from catarrh. I believe that
I could get a certificate to this effect from
any competent physician, I have used
no medicine within the last six months
except King’s Royal Germetuer. My
health is better than it has been in thirty
years. I am in possession of information
which warrants me in saying that the re¬
lief which I have experienced from the
use of the medicine is not more certain
and radical than that which it has
brought to hundreds ot persons in Geor¬
gia and other States.
I feel it to be my duty to say, also, that
the effects of this remedy upon my wife
have been even more signal and wonder¬
ful. She 1ms been almost a life-long in¬
valid from Nervous Headache, Neuralgia
and Rheumatism. In a period of thirty
years she has scarcely had a day’s exemp¬
tion from pain. She has been using Ger-
meteur about two months. A more com¬
plete transformation I have never wit¬
nessed. Every symptom of disease has
disappeared. She appears to be twenty
years younger, and is as happy and play¬
ful as a healthy child. We have persua¬
ded many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of them is
that it is a great remedy.

through the air was very interesting, and
when at an altitude of 7,‘->00 feet, as re¬
corded Dy the aneroid barometer, the
throbbing of the steam engine could be
distinctly heard, also the report of a
sportsman's gun, accompanied by the bark
of a dog. The traveling was at the rate
of about twenty-five miles an hour, but
to the aeronaut's the balloon was appar-

SWITCHMEN AT THE CHICAGO STOCK YARDS
RETURN TO WORK.
At noon Friday the collapse of every
railroad strike in Chicago had occurred
and work on the stockyards was begun in
earnest at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The
Chicago and Alton switchmen have icoog-
niaed their mistake and have gone back
to work as a result of the conference
between General Manager Chappell,
Grand Master Sweeney, Vice Grand Mas¬
ter Downey and a committee of strikers.
