This grand organization proposes to leave or freeze none out except the millionaire the politician, and such as has left the poor oppressed farmer and the toiling masses out to ravishes of monopolies and dishonorable political combines which has brought all honest labor to ruiu and beggary.— Union. fit fit 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.” fit * 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.” fit sk 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¬ sippi, across the rugged peaks of the 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¬ ments to arouse sectional en¬ gendered by the war: Therefore be it Jiesolced, That we, the State Farmers’ Alliance of Virginia, do grip intend the hands to grasp of with tighter Alliimce our Alliance brothers in the North, deter¬ mined to hold together with locked shields, in spite of all efforts to arouse prejudice between us, until the financial emancipation of laborer and producer is accomplished.” fit fi« The State Convention of the Farmers’ Alliance of Tekas wrestled with the sub- treasury scheme for several days. The Dallas New of the 28th roports the fol- lo wing as the resolution offered: “Vh creas The finances of our gov¬ ernment are so adjusted the that agricultural money can¬ and not be obtained by laboring people upon which to transact their business without paying such enor¬ mous rates of interest, that it is sure to bankrupt the fanners and laboring people of America, and thereby, destroy the re¬ public, aud Whereas, Relief from this impending ruin must be speedily had; and Whereas, The Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union, at its December meet¬ ing, 1889, held at St. Louis, Mo., did demand: 1. The unlimited coinage of silver. 2. T he passage of what is known as the principles and the purposes of the sub¬ treasury system. it resolved by the Farm¬ Therefore, be ers’ State Alliance of Texas, that we en¬ dorse these demands.” The resolution was adopted by a large majority. IT WAS A FAILURE. 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. THE DEADLY WIRE.

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. J. B. Hawthorne. Pastor First Baptist Church.

As the Spencer war balloon, in a recent ascent from the Royal Military Exhib- j ition, now being held in England, reached Plaistow a train was passing through bound at Shoeburyuess.

The voyage 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- ently stationary, and it was with great * from the surprise that, on emerging distance had clouds, they found what been actually covered.—[New York Teb sgnun PBOFESSIONAL CARDS.
