State Alliance, Anthony, reports that
“at a meeting of the board of directors
of the Alliance exposition, there was
donated 1,000 boxes of oranges as a free
gift to the delegates to the Alliance to

Industrial Yrte Pros (Winfield, Kan.)
gives good advice: * I Alliance men and
reform thinkers and workers, don’t let
your enthusiasm abate and grow cold.
You have a work to perform, and to do
it well needs your whole efforts. No one
can perform this work as successfully as
the man true to the cause. With this
idea in view, work with a will and suc¬
cess will crown your efforts.”

The S uthport (N. C.) Leader says:
“The cry of haste cannot be justly sus¬
tained aginst the fanner in thus organ¬
izing for his own protection. His steady
allegiance to party, often in the face of
unwise legislation against agricultural in¬
terests. is remarkable. The importance of
passed the Farmers’ Alliance ccnnot be world lightlv fs
over, and the political

As the season for State aud county fairs
is close at hand, order it is urged wherever upon mem¬
bers of the to secure, pos¬
sible, aa “Alliance day,” and obtain a
good Alliance speaker for the occasion.
Through this means the doctrines and
principles of the order can be placed be¬
fore many of the best farmers of the
oountry that Alliance literature has been
unable to reach .—National Economist.

To those statesmen who fear that the
plan will enable speculators hold
secure possession this of products and Colo¬
for a rise, statement from the
Workman (Pueblo) is referred: “Last
fall and winter the farmers in Kausas
sold their corn for nine cents a bushel or
burned it for fue’, but most of the crop
was turned over to the bankers to pay in¬
terest on mortgages. To day corn is
worth fifty eents a bushel in Kansas.
Overproduction is a great blessing to the
farmers.”
* *
The resolutions adopted by nearly all
recent State aonveutions recommend an
increase in the volume of currency, but
are silent as to the means of getting this
additional currency out of the United
States treasury among the people. There
are but three methods at present: through
national banks, national expenditures, or
the purchase of national bonds. By w hich
process is it proposed to distribute this
much needed increase ? It might be well
to consider this portion of the system, and
in doing so. the sub-treasury plan is recom¬
mended for consideration .—National
Economist.

J. J. Rogers, superintendent for the
States of North Carolina National and Virginia,
writes as follows to the Econo¬
mist: “Colored Farmers’ National Al-
iiauce of Virginia met in the city of
Richmond on the 21st and 22d; 13 coun¬
ties, were represented. The meeting w as
harmonious and enthusiastic for the St.
Ixiuis demands. Colored Farmers' Na¬
tional Alliance of North Carolina met in
the city of Raleigh on the 22d and 23d;
28 counties represented; demands perfect endorsed; harmony
prevailed; St. Louis
svib-treasury bill endorsed by strong reso¬
lution and support pledged by influence
aud votes.”

The Clod-Hopper (Kosciusko, Miss.) is
a vigorous exponent of Alliance princi¬
ples. It says: “Trc corn and wheat
States are united on the sub-treasury plan,
because our beloved money power has
worked it to so fine a point on them as to
get two-thirds of their earniDgs. It is
urged here that and we flour, would pay more for
meat, corn but there is no
greater fallacv. On that score it is just
a question this wav, do you prefer to pav
the producers of* these* articles a price
regulated by supplv and demand, or do
you prefer, as it no*w is, to pav an unjust
tributc to the money powers of the coun-

of the bands of their producers ? On

Whereas, liep< its have been from time

otherwise deg rat ory of our brethren in
charge of the Farmers’ Alliance Exchange

done the brethren of our Order great in¬
justice and injury, and whereas the

A Struggle witE a Sturgeon.
Faithful Jim is the name of au old Si wash
in the employ of Mr. W. II. Yianen. Jim
looks after the t'sh-houso, cleans salmon,
runs the delivery barrow, breaks ice, and
performs numerous other little duties of
an easy and pleasant nature. Faithful
Jim, as his name ivould indicate, is a
very trustworthy and honest Indian, and
he takes really a wonderful delight in
performing every one of his little duties
with an exactness and care that would
make the eyes of the strictest disciplin¬
arian glitter with pride and pleasure. The
other morning a number of fat and hand¬
some sturgeon were lauded on the slip,
apparently dead, and without the power
of motion, and Mr. Yianen ordered Jim
to carry them inside and clean them. Jim
carried the first two inside and laid them
down carefully beside the water hole,
aiul be was just about to deposit the
third, a fifty-pounder, when the fish,
coming suddenly to life, slipped gave a through tremen¬
dous wriggle and ohno t
Jim’s hands into the water hole. Faithful
Jim took a strong hold and was about to
drag it fjora the water, when the fish
gave another jump, causing the Siwash
to slip, and like a fla«h the fish and tho
man shot through the hole iuto the river.
Then there was a commotion in the
depths that betokened that a gigantic loit¬
struggle was in full swing, and the
erers who had seen the accident felt very
anxious for Jim’s safety, for they knew
he would never let go while life remained
in his body. The terrible struggle lasted
fully a minute, and .Jim's long shaggy
hair earae to the surface, swirling and
twisting and lashing the water into
foam. Mr. Yianen seized the hair and
drew Jim's head above water, and as he
did so the Siwash gave vent to a Squam- whole
ish war-whoop, which startled the
neighborhood. “Me Faithful Jim,” he
said, and sure enough when they drag¬
ged him out the fish was found locked in
the strong embrace of his arms, and as
peaceful a* a snail, after the long strug¬
gle. Then Faithful Jim seized a heavy
club, and, after dancing a tired speties of Si¬
wash war dance over the sturgeon,
belabored it until life was extinct.—[New

Iceland’s Hot Springs.
As to the hot springs, those in Rcyk-
jadal, though not the most magnificent,
are perhaps the most curious among the
numerous phenomena of this sort in Ice¬
land. On entering ascending the valley you dif¬ see
columns of vapor from
ferent parts of it. There is a number of
apertv.es iu a sort of platform Fahrenheit, of rock.
The water is at 212 degrees into the air.
and it rises two or three feet
A river flows thiough the valley in the
the midst of which a jet of boiling raised water
issues with violence from a rock
but a few feet above the icy-cold water
of the river. Not far from this place is
the grotto, or cave of Surt, which is so
large that no one has penetrated to its
inner end. In forming these scenes na¬
ture seems to have deserted all her ordi¬
nary operations and to have worked only
in combining the most terrific extremes
which her powers can command. Nor is
she yet silent. Atter the still lapse of ages
the fire of the volcano bursts out
among regions of eternal snow, and the
impetuous thundering of the geysers con¬
tinues to disturb the stillnes of the sur¬
rounding solitude. — [Murray's Mag¬
azine. _ _
Buttermilk Drinkers.
Buttermilk is becoming very popular will
as a summer drink in this city, standard and
soon be considered as one of the
beverages of the hot season.
“I have more calls for buttermilk than
for tea aud coffee these warm days,"said
E - Thornton, an uptown restaurateur
yesterday. “The demand increases every
