Allium, People'. Party, Inilu.trlsMolun Kefonn Preea, W eights or Labor, Nation, al State Acuta' .iaaoolatlon and Kindred Organisations. Indianapolis, Nov. 18.—Minty are tne expressions tunl view* of the delegates to the great Alliance gathering in this city. There are more thau half n dozen different organizations represented hare by delegates from nearly every state, There are frequent sessions of -the Farmers’ .Mutual Benefit association, the People's party, the Confederated In. dnstrial Union, the Reform Press asso ciation, tiie Northwestern Alliance, the Citizen’s Alliance, the Knights of Labor, the American Federation of Labor, the National Slate Agents' association, the National Citizen’s Industrial Alliance and kindred thiugs, all working as if impressed with the idea tlint other in terests were of secondary importance. Some of the minor associations might appear Indlcmns hot for the earnestuess with which they are prosecuting their several missions. Huwevet vatied the interests, all of them center ,on the pr- -osition looking to conversion of the Al nee proper into n political body, and tile consensus of opiuion secured from three-score and more delegates points to the conclusion that the Alli ance will perpetuate itself not as an in dependent political body, bnt as a thbr ongbly non-partisan organization. Further, that it will remain ns dis tinct from the third party as it is now from the Republican and Depmcratic parties. Whatever maybe the divisions and subdivisions of the Alliance, jg is strange what a hold the sub-treasury scheme has upon the great hulk of the delegates. It is noticeable, however, that the yonnger meu, apd apparently those who have had the least experience in financial fields, are the readiest to enter upon disenseinn of its merits. Among them H. W. Ayer, secretary to President Polk, and manager of the Reform Press association, persistently ndvoeatee that inasmuch as the govern ment loans money to the banker npon evidence of a debt, i. e., bonds, the Al liance is justified in calling for the dif fusion of currency directly to the peo- de upon their evidence of wealth. It ■ a fact patent that the Alliance lead ers have no goal feeling for either Cleveland or Harrison. President Polk said that while it was trne that the Alliance -was opposed to Cleveland, the little man in the white house was id the same boat, and the Alliance will vote ns readily agitinn them both, or against Blaine, as it wiS against any man not sopporting Alli ance principles. In biz opinion it wonld be the veriest, inconsistency to vote for Cleveland or Harrison, for they are sin gle standard money men. Mr. Polk also paid his respects to the proposition looking to n combination of Stanford and himself for the head of the thfril We offer for the .coming week A Grand Reduction in Henriettas!

Lamar St. and Cotton Ave. not get an Alliance vote for constable. All these articles which are circulated urging Stanford for the presidency on the third parly ticket are the paid booms for him. His circulation bill wns a bod measure, aud degraded the proposed currency from the very start. In other departments it wns worse than present conditions.”, : _ Congressman L. F. Livingstone of Georgia, supplemented this by saying: "Georgia lias 115,000 Alliance voters and it captnred threo fonrths 'of tho legislature and six out of ten congress man. This was accomplished through Democratic primaries, which nominated Alliance Democrats. It wonld he folly for either Cleveland or Harrison to ex pect Alliance support, because of their position on the money question. If the tariff was the only question Cleveland wonld lie supported. * A secret session of ths executive com mittee of the Confederated Industrial Organizations was held with Benjamin Terrell, of Texas, chairraan.'The prime object was to settle details ■■ Of the pro posed convention of these organization: in February and to change the meeting point from Washington to some more centrally located city. Cincinnati,, Louisville nnd St. Louis were* named, with the odds farming Cincinnati. Mr. Terrell report* that the ineetini in February looks to unification of al labor interests, so that by nnited action needed teuislation may be teenred. The Confederated Organizations now embrace the F. M. B. A„ tile Farmers’ Alliance, the Industrial Union, the National Alliance,' the Co-Operativ* Union, the Citisens’ Alliance and the Knights of Labor, and it is proposed to open ths doors to the Federation of La bor, the Knights of Industry and the Labor Christian Union. Mr. Terrell belongs to the Fanners’Alliance, whlci) be characterize* as the purest and best of all the others, bnt he says it is not tbs pnr|HMe of tb* February meeting at the Confederated Organizations to take any political action. Mr. Terrell, speaking as a Democrat and citizen, •ays that be wonld vary much regret the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, be cause his good basis theory is objection able. He has the same objection to Harrifon. and hi adds: ■ I aih in favor of Boies of Iowa. Ha fonght tbs battle on tbe free coinage issue and won. Campbell shirked the silver iasne in Ohio. If he bad made the fight squarely on tbe free coinage iasns and had won be wonld have been a great favorite. The -Alliance favor* free coinsga and it opposed to making gold the lsta>. ” Congressman Watson is quoted as follows in the Indianapolis Journal: Georgia is ready for a third party candidate, the bnlk of the Democratic party will pass into tha new line and the movement will swoop tbe state. There is not the slightest probability bnt that ths Democratic platform will contain the Ocala damanda. No man on earth oaa carry Georgia for Cleveland. Hill would not receive a majority anywhere azeept possibly in the printing office of Ths Attests Coeatitation." CHINESE REVOLT, Gniibnsl, Nrrrmrr to Protest the Live* e »r Foreigner*. London, Nov. 18.—A telegram from Shanghai aays: The capture of Tehwei, near Foochow, on Tuesday by 15,000 rebel* was a well organized rising. The rebels were armed with repeaters and led by capable men. The outbreak was directly mainly against the authorities, though anti-foreign cries were heard. European residents are apprehensive of a spread of the revolt. The British consul here in an interview said he be lieved that the recent quietude was only temporary, spring aud summer being the favorite period for outrages in Chino. Light draft gunboats are an absolute necessity to protect the lives of Europeans in the interior and at river treaty ports, where massacre will inev itably follow anti-foreign demonstra tions unless special "preventive measures are adopted—-— In spite or tbe semi-official statement that two of the Ychang rioters have been beheaded and others bastinadoed, it is notorious that the real culprits are still free, being protected against arrest by exalted officials. Agents of the Pekin treasury have paid the indemnities agread upon—£2,000 to the sufferers at Wuolm aud £4,000 to the families of the Europeans killed at Wnsieli. The American missionary, Mr. Darte, ex pressed the opinion tlint' the troubles will be renewed next spring. POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS. THE COLD WAVE- THE NORTHWE8T SHIVERING AND FREEZING. of the Suprnut* Court In Iteferenoe to Them. WasiiiniiTon, Nov. IS.-In the su preme court of the District of Coulum- hia, the demurrer iu tbe case of the United States against Charles A. New ton, charged with violating section 13 of tbe civil service act, wasimauimonsly overrated and the case went to. the criminal court for trial. Defendant gave notice that he wonld apply for writ of error, Commissioner Thompson, of the civil service commission, was soen by a re porter and questioned as to bis views npon the decision,- He said that tbe supreme court of ths United States, in the case of Newton M. Cnrtis, held that tiie tew forbidding government em ployes to solicit or receive money from each other for political purposes was constitutional, bnt the decision jnit tendered goes much farther, and hold* that all solicitations for political pur poses within government buildings are unlawful: 1 Theeffect, lie thought, will be to practically , stopf political as sessments.’ and to leave all government employes free to contribute, as they see fit. ■ This decision is a complete vindi cation of the course of the commission, which has endeavored to enforce the tew and protect government employes from forced assessments. It is entirety satisfactory to ths commission. LUNA HAS NO SATELLITE. IImuIi ur Observations or tlio Kollpto nl Harvard Observatory.
