PROGRAMME OF THE ALLIANCE The Washington correspondent of the | New York Sun gives out the following as authentic: The officials on duty at the headquar ters of the Farmers’ Alliance in this city are busily engaged in arranging the pro gramme of legislation which they hope to see enacted by the Fifty-second Con gress. The Alliance claims to have fifty-live men in the next House who w ill vote with it upon all measures. It also claims four senators—Peffer of Kansas, Kyle of South Dakota, Irby of South Carolina, and Vance of North C rolina. The Alliance claims Vance because be was elected after the Legh-Jature of Ids The Walton News has been sued for $10,000 for defaming the characters of a | 8ta te Imd passed a resolution that lot of lightning rod agents who, the | « ia « could be chosen Senator until ho News reported, were “doing up” the bad agreed to a programme which was the natives of Walton.

The death of tx-Congressman and ex- senator Washington Curran Whittliorne removes the most conspicuous man in Tennessee politics; and one also of na tional reputation. lie was a close per sonal friend of Congressman Blount, and enjoyed a wide popularity among his as sociates in Congress and among the masses of his state. He lias been in fail ing health for several years, and his death was not unexpected. be introduced ic both bouses and push ed to a vote. Exactly what changes will be made in the original sub-treasury bill lias not yet been determined. The southern land loan bill will not be There is a bright hand at work on | touched by the Alliance. The leaders of the latt r are very much put out be cause the people think the Stanford bill finds favor with them. The Alliance people think that bill is designed to help only those who already lnve a fair share of this world’s goods, and that the only people who are booming it are those en gaged in booming Senator Stanford for tiie presidenoy. As for the Alliance, it declares it will have nothing to do with either Senator Stanford or his bill. The bill on the same subject and in troduced under Alliance auspices will provide for the relief of the agricultural population of the United .States, and for the promotion and encouragement of agriculture. I s main features will pro vide that any citizen who owns and re sides upon any tract of laud containing not less than ten nor more than 320 acres, and who has at least one-half of that tract in .actual cultivation, shall be entitled to apply for and to receive from the treasury of the United States a loan not to exceed one-half the assessed val ue of the land and the improvements on it. The loans are to bo for not less than five nor more than ten years, and the borrower is to pay iuterest at 2J per cent. Another measure which the Alliance will push Is a free coinage bill. These three measures are the ones iu which it will take the most interest; but other bills will come from its hands. It will have introduced a bill providing for government control of railroads and tel egraph systems. Iu regard to the rail road and telegraph companies the Alli ance is misunderstood, it is said at its headquarters. It is uot, as is generally supposed, in favor of government owner ship of railroads and the telegraph. It simply wants the government to control them. The Alliance will not bring forward any tariff bill. It will content itself with demanding the equalization of the tariff so that it will bear upon all alike. It will, however, put forward bills to abolish the national banking system. RAIN-MAKING EXPERIMENTS. General Dyrenforth has returned to Washington after his first rain-making expedition, and he seems to be in a very se’f-satisfied state of mind He finds that tiie newspapers have suddenly made him famous, and he evidently believes that there is a more enduring foundation for his fame than has generally been represented. “After the experience in Texas,” he says, “I think the venture unquestionably promises success.” All tho natural conditions were opposed to the work, and much time was lost in making preparations, in the face of un expected obstacles for this novel line of The war is on between Iioke Smith and the Atlanta Journal on oue side and Col. Livingston and the Southern Al liance Far.ner on the other; and the fur is going to ily. Both these inen are ag gressive and fearless; aud now that.- the gauntlet is thrown down tho moon may be expected to wear a gory hue. Mr. Hoke Smith don’t take any stock in Col. Liuingston’s sincerity; but Larry Gantt gambles high on Mr HokeSmith’s exalted opinion of himself as displayed in the columns of the Journal. Governor Nouthex has vetoed an other bill, this time a local one affect ing Laurens county. The governor has on his war paint, aud tho silly bill-ios of the legislature should look out for a shower of these vetoes. When the gov ernor surveys tho piles of rot coming before him uiisscalled laws, he seizes his big double-action veto pen, and iu tho language of Webster Flanuagau, says: “What are we bore for?” and the head falls into the executive waste basket. Let the good work go ou. experiments. It is stated that only half of the appropriation of $7,000 has been expended, which indicates that artificial rain-making need not be a very expen sive operation.” The modus opei audi of General Dyren forth’s experiments are not generally understood, fie carried with him sixty balloons,each about ten feet In diameter when expanded, a hundred kites about ten feet tall, a carload of wooden mor tars for firing bombs, many thousands of pounds of explosives and electrical appliances for firing them. The balloons and kites were held in position by double wires, which also served to fire the gases contained in the balloons and the explosives attached to the tails of the kites. The balloons were filled with oxygen and hydrogen, which were caused to combine by au electric spark, producing a terrific explosion. When ever the general was ready for an as sault on the cloudless skies numerous balloons aud kites were sent up and bombs fired within a short space of time so as to simulate a natural thunder storm Most of the experiments were made at times when the barometer aud the cow boys’ predictions indicated fair weather General Dyrenforth lias not yet reported the actual results of all the experiments, but he claims to have produced the first rain in three years that was sufficient to make grass grow, and also to have caused the first dew ever observed in that re gion. Enlarging on the results of liis work he says: “I am satisfied that it is only a ques tion of time when we shall transform these arid plains into wet regions. The operation should be carried out by the government, and some statutory meas ures adopted to prevent everybody bringing ou rain to please himself. Reg ular stations should be established, aud in accordance w ith providential intent rain be caused tv fall on the just aud the unjust alike.”—Tirnes-Union. LIVINGSTON ALL RIGHT One of the most noteworthy utter ances recently made is that of Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the state al liance, in his speech Friday night befor the Legislature and the people at the Capitol. Whatever may have been the suspi cion, from Col. Livingston's previous utterances, that he was not sound iu his faith, even the most skeptical must now admit that there was no equivocation or uncertainty about his announcement that he stood squarely within the party lines of the Democracy. While he will tight and work to have That all is not lovely in the ranks of the Massachusetts Republicans seems to be shown by tho moralizing spirit in dulged in by the organs; the Boston Traveller for instance. Itsays: “When the members of the Republican party get ready to return to their early allegi ancc to tho truth, that their chief con cern should bo defense of principles rather than trying to outwit each other in the selection of candidates, the party will be in the line of success; until then it will make but little difference who are its candidates.” The secretary of agriculture is going to send an agent to Europe to sound the praises of Indian corn as an article of food for man as well as beast. Although the Europeans have been acquainted with Iudian corn for centuries they have never learned to like any preparation of it for food. The poorer classes continue to eat rye bread as their ancestors have done for countless generations, and to live in ignorance of the many cheap nutritious and extremely palatable articles of food that they w-ould enjoy if they could get into the habit of using meal and hominy. We shall never hear the last of Gen. Eagle Burd Grubb of New Jersey. He is always doing something to make his terrible name conspicuous; and now he is about to lead to Hymen’s alter a blushing damsel wbo lias consented to change her name from Miss Violet Sop- with to Mistress Violet Eagle Rurd Grubb. What a regular hallelujah time the irreverent and wicked paragraphers will have over the announced approach ing nuptials-! The Savannah News starts with the following: “Sopwith Grubb is good. Probably that will be the stylo of the announcement. Or they may say Grubb to Sopwith. Very likely they will wed “When the Burds begin to sing and the Violets ate in bloom,” as the poet remarks. Then or thereabout will the bold soldier bestow upon the gentle Violet his umbrageous whiskers. Whether the fragile Violet of Scotland may share in tho martial and diplomatic triumphs of her eminent New Jersey liusband or not she will at least get her Grubb.” WHERE ABE OUR MISSIONARIES? It is to be feared that there is raoro sentiment than sympathy on the part of Americans for the oppressed Russian Jews We denounce the Czar, across the ocean, and pity the unfortunate Jews; and pass resolutions and sigu petitions; but when brought face to face with actual conditions, sentiment vanishes; and tLe “pure cussedness” of human na ture crops out. Last week 000 operatives at Millville, New Jersey, glass works went on a strike, simply because they were deter mined not to work alongside of opera tors of the Hebrew race! Commenting upon this proceeding The Constitution expresses fully the senti ments of all decent people when it says: “It is impossible to write of this New Jersey outrage without condemning it iu unmeasured terms. Since the first settlement of this country, and the es tablishment of our republic, which wai designed to shelter and protect the op pressed, the Jews have been among our best citizens. They have been the pil lars of our commerce and industry, They have obeyed the laws, paid their taxes, served the state and spent their blood aud treasure for the common welj faro. No set of men in this country can pro scribe such a race of people and expect to be sustained by public opinion. We are not ready yet to have a little Russia organized in America, uot even iu the state of New Jersey. The brutal conduct of the Millville workingmen shows that active mis sionary work is imperatively needed in that town. The strikers need a large sized dose of Sam Jones, followed by a little instruction in the rudiments of the Christian religion. If these mild methods will not make them bthavelike decent citizens, they should be discharg ed by their employers and then prose cuted for vagrancy.” SOUTHERN IMPROVEMENTS. The Manufacturers’ Record of Sep tember 10 says: “The general business and financial condition of the whole country contin ues to Improve, and the south must necessarily share in this increasing pros perity. The enormous exports of grain for the last two months, to w hich the usual fall shipments of cotton will now bo added, have already turned the tide of foreign trade this wav, and gold is now being imported in large quantities, with prospects of heavy imports during the next few mouths “There are already sigus of improve ment in the iron aud the cotton goods trade, while the railroads of the country are taxed to their utmost capacity to haudle their immense traffic. The south has com menced to feel tho benefit of this change from the depression of the last seven or eight months which has existed all over the world, and among the new, indus trial enterprises reported in this week’s issue of the Manufacturers’ Record are the contract at $302,000 for the power house of the new* cable road in Washing ton; a $150,000 granite quarrying com pany and a $75,000 brownstone company In North Carolina; a $150,000 sugar re finery company in Louisiana; a $100,000 cotton compress company in Greenville, Miss.; a $30,000 distillery company in Kentucky; a $50,000 lumber company in Savannah; a $50,000 electric company iu Baltimore; a $100,000 coal and coke com pany in West Virginia; a $50,000 water works company in Orange City, Fla.; a $100,000 phosphate company, Green wood, S. C.; a $100,000 cotton seed oil mill company in Alexandria, La.; a $100,000 phosphate company in Florida; a $20,000 land improvement company in Macon; two $500,000 improvement com panies in West Virginia; a $25,000 im provement companies in Virginia; a $50,000 ice manufacturing company in Algiers, La., etc. Southern manufacturing enterprises have stood the strain of monetary strin gency remarkably w’ell, and the furnaces, the sub-treasury plan incorporated in the state and national platforms, he frankly announces that even if the sub treasury plan is not adopted, he is still a Democrat, and will bow to the will of the majority, whether his views are in corporated or not. This is good honest square ’doctrine; he simply proposes to do just as he would expect to be done by. If the state convention, composed of a major-ty favorable to the sub-treas ury pi in, incorporates that featuie in the Democratic platform, all good Dem ocrats even if opposed, must acquiesce in the will of the majority; and C’ol Livingston will do just what he expects others to do—stand on w hatever platform the Democracy of the state adopts. It may appear that the colonel has been rather tardy in defining bis posi tion, aud that like poor Tray he was caught in doubtful company for a sound Democrat to be found in, the Simpsou- Lease Third party combination; but better late than not at all; and uow that his position is emphatically and plainly set forth—that there is no Third party heresy in his creed—there is no longer any ground for impugning his Democ racy. He is iu for the war, aud it is • to be fought inside the party lines, come what will. In this respect there is a marked con trast between the positions o‘' Col. Liv- stou and Tom Watson, the latter of whom will “jump” the Democracy if they don’t accept his terms, even if he finds himself in the minority. The Times-Rkcoiideu is glad of the opportunity to commend the position of Col. Livingston as the president of the State Alliance; lor it sets at rest the mooted question of a third party, in a way that ought to be satisfactory to every true Democrat. GEORGIA BACHELORS. Bostou is headquarters for old maids, there being something like thirty thou sand more women than inen in Massa chusetts; and so the B jstou papers are looking with some degree of solicitude to the Georgia legislature to promote matrimony, to the end that the example of the Empire State of the South may become so far contagious as to reu- der matrimony contagious all over the land, and especially iu Massachusetts. What is understood .as a joke by our home people looks like serious business to the Bostonians, as witness the fol- wing: It looks as if the bill which has intr duced in the Georgia legislature. imp< ng a tax of twenty-five dollars per an num upou every bachelor over thirty years old, ami raising the tax twenty five dollars for every additional ti years of age, was likely to become a law’ It has been favorably reported upon by the committee on hygiene and sanitation —why it was leferred to that committee is not fully explained—and there is strong sentiment in the legislature iu favor of its passage. Of course the bachelors denounce it as clan legislation, but this is an objection which does uot hold against a mass of other legislation, Georgia bachelors will do well to begin looking up helpmeets. “It is uot good for man to be alone.” THE SUICIDE OF BALM %CEDA The death of Balmaoeda by his own* hand rounds out to completion one of the most extraordinary political dramas which even South America has furnished. But it was a drama founded on the fa miliar lines of a remarkably able and popular President, too reluctant to lay aside liis power at the end of his term of office, and seeking to prolong it by peri lous and fatal expedients. That Balma- ceda did not attempt to overthrow the constitutional pro/ision of ineligibility to re-election after the prescribed term of five years is clear. But his actions suggested a desire fully to control his successor, which was only a step less than becoming dictator. It was a mel ancholy instance of overleaping ambition which, it may be charitable to suppose, was allied with real love of country, as t was with personal honesty, and per haps was partly the fruit of self-deceit as to his own value to the republic Born of a well-kuowu aud wealthy family, well educated, a fine speaker, and in every way endowed for political life, he reached with comparative rapidity the leadership of the liberal or progressive party. His rise was a con tinuous triumph, aud his election to the presidency in 1880 was achieved by a great majority. It is a curiqus coinci dence that his suicide took place on the very morning after the expiration of his term of office, which legally ended last Friday, although he had been practically deposed by his defeat at Placilla. The first three or four years of his term showed him in a creditable light. Edu cation, religious freedom, internal im provements, and all material progress were fostered in Chili. It was natural that even when his later acts alarmed congress and led to civil war, all foreign powers except Bolivia, which had a aniiago will roll up on a happier Chili, from which, it may be hoped, the last dements of civil discord have been removed.—New York .Sun. CHEERING SIGNS. There are many signs that p 0 i nt tu revival of business in this section * throughout the South. In the Uirm^ ham district, for example, furnace, * declined the other day to place a 1^° order for the lowest grade of i ron , forward delivery, giving as a reason that better prices were sure to be obtainahl in the near future. That is a very rad,* cal change from the conditions ‘which have prevailed for many long, Wean months. ™ The low price of pig iron, coupled with the general business depression, ha* told heavily upon local trade since the first of December last. Kven at the greatly reduced rates the demand f or iron has been deplorably light. Hut light is breaking; the better davi* dawning at last. From all directions come encouraging reports. Money i, becoming more plentiful, business i* rapidly reviving. More than L'1,000000 worth of wheat was exported during the month of August, which was some four times the amouut sent abroad in August of last year. In Birmingham the changes of the past three weeks have beeu very much for the better.—Age-Herald. A Git VAT COTTON CItOI-. According to the annual report of the Commercial and Financial Chronicle the cotton crop for the year 1800-91 readied the enormous total of eight million sir hundred and fi t fi e thousand bales. This is not only the greatest crop ever raised in the south, but exceeds by more than thirteen hundred thousand bales tiie production of the previous year then the largest ou record. It is nearlr double the highest yield known before the war. Tiie south is to be congratulated not only on the marvelous increase in the special interest to the contrary, should , plocluction of this great staple but> , have continued their relations with h.m j on the strikhlg a(JvanC0 made iu mM as the lawful president. ! ufacture> Yet tho triumph of liis opponents, so j far as can now ho seen, appears to be ; n 4WTHOKNE HITS BACK, that of constitutional liberty, and the j Rev. Dr. Hawthorne, at the first Bap- curtain now rung down upon the tragedy j tist church Sunday morning, took occa sion during b*s sermon to pay liis res pects to the ninety-four who had de nounced him for his part iu the artesian well meeting Among other things he said: “I re gard not the fulminating fury of the whiskey-bloated and red-mouthed dem agogues who stand up in legislative hails or elsewhere to denounce me.” The New Y’ork Sun is a strong anti Alliance paper, but It still indulges in some complimentary remarks about the aliiancemen of the West. It says: “The Alliance farmers of Kansas have not taken the advice that was given them to repudiate their mortgage indebtedness, but are paying it up as fast as they get the money for their .crops. The statis tics recently collected ou the subject are encouraging to all holders of farm mort gages and pleasing to everybody who be lieves in the honesty anil honor of the farmers of the country. P. is a sound policy that the Kansas farmers are pur suing in this respect, and it will redound to their advantage at once and here after.” Tiie idea that prevails among many people that a newspaper can run with out money, and still enrich its owners, cotton mills and other industries are all I leads the Madisonian to remark: “The busy, aud most of them are making good profits even now, with an encouraging outlook for a season of great prosperity ahead.” If Mr. Gladstone is, as some of the conservative organs charge, growing weak in memory and showing other signs of senility, he at least is stiong enough to retain his - leadership of the Liberals, and there is little doubt that he will either head a new ministry after the next general election, or name such head. The great commoner is not dead yet by a large majority. It is quite evident that the phosphate miners of Florida seethe pressing neces sity for controlling tiie output. The call for their convention probably does not contemplate anything beyond organiza tion for present advantages; but a phos- pbato trust is one of the possibilities of the near future. present owners of the Madisonian are not working for the “glory” attached to publishing a newspaper simply—we want the money. We propose to give the people a good paper, to run it on as cheap a basis as possible, and then if the people will sustain us as they should, wo may be able to make a living. Without the “almighty dollar” no busi ness can be carried on successfully; and especially is it difficult to run a newspa per.” Rsv. Anna B. Shaw, of Massachu setts, who has officiated as a knot fas tener at a number of weddings, ail of which have resulted in remarkably happy marriages, explains the secret of their happiness to be in the fact that only men who were strong believers in equal rights would be willing to be mar ried by a woman minister, and such men almost always make good husbands. LARRY’S LONE HAND Now that the Siamese twin combina tion of Editor Harry aud Larry is bro ken, it might be supposed that the Southern Alliance Farmer would “wab ble” in its aerial flight like a jaybird with the feathers of oue wing pulled out; but such isu’t the case; the irrepressible, versatile and spontaneous Larry is doing a rushing business at the old stand, aud is giving the railroads “fits” to the best of his ability, especially the Terminal roads of his friend Calhoun, whom he supported so vigorously for United States Senator last November. But, then, November was a long time ago; and Editor Larry has had time to reconstruct his politics as often as Sam Small has hU profession since the Ides of ovetnber, when the Legislature persist- 1, in spite of E litor Larry,in driving the nails in the Alliance coffin, by voting for Gordon and refusing to vote for Editor L in v’s candidate That the Mormon contingent is solid oa tho stars and stripes, iu spite of the Edmunds anti-polygamy law, and the general disposition of the monogamous Gentile to crowd him out of the hallowed shadows of the Mormon Joss house on the borders of Salt Lake, is indicated by this patriotic fulmiuation from the Salt Lake Tribune: “If, of old, to be called a Roman cltizeu was greater than to be called a king, what ought it to be in these modern days to bo a citizen of the United States? Every growler on our shore ougnt to be picked up and made to live six months in Europe or Asia, that he might thenceforth forever appre ciate what it is to be a citizen of this republic.” The Timks-Recobher has received a pamphlet entitled “Information and Ad vice Relating to Patents” from C. A. Suow & Co., well known patent attor neys of Washington, D. C. It coutaius lirectlous for procuring patents, and the cost ef the same iu the United States and foreign countries, information about the registration of trade-marks, copy rights, caveats and desigus; also ab stracts of court decisions in patent cases, and much other matter of interest to in ventors, patentees, manufacturers and others interested in patents. It will be mailed free to anyone addressing C. A. Snow* & Co., Washington, D. C. The royalists of France are so angry with the pope for having come to terms with the French republic, that the Count of Paris, the Orleanist claim ant of the throne, has withdrawn the subsidy that has been annually paid by him to the head of the Catholic chuich. His Holiness is one of the shrewdest diplomats in Europe; aud he recognizes the fact that the republic of France has come to stay, and that he is wasting time fooling with a few royalists and pretenders to a visionary French throne. The Mexican government has declared the concession granted to Ellis and Fer guson for the colonization of negroes in Mexico forfeited on account of non- compliance with the contract. The new civil service rules for the navy yards, promised by Secretary Tracy, have been put into effect iu the Brooklyn yard. They provide, as was promised, that laborers shall be em ployed only with reference to skill; pro hibit employment or discharge for polit ical reasons, or the solicitation of con tributions for party purposes, and give preference to honorably discharged sol diers aud sailors when their fitness is demonstrated or ascertained. The places of twenty foremen have already been filled under the new system. This is indeed reform, and reform in a branch of the service where It was most needed. Spoils in our navy yards have been too long a disgrace to our public service. It is to be hoped that the spasm of virtue has a real foundation, and is not prompt ed by the desire of the administration to make fair weather by a show of virtue that is predicated upon the need of mug wump votes in the coming elections. When Senator Butler asked Tom|Wat- son whether he would boL the Demo cratic party if it failed to accept the sub-treasury plan, this Messiah dodged and said: “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Contrast this with Livingston’s speech Friday night, in which he declared the Alliance would stand with the Democratic party re gardless of the success or defeat of the Ocala plank. “We are for peace and harmony,” he said. “If we can’t get our platform inside the party we will take yours. If we gain our point in the convention, we ask you to stand by us, or if we can’t agree, let us get together and devise something better than we have yet conceived.” The majority’ of the creditors of the Moses Bros., of Montgomery, have gig. niiied their desire to form a trust com pany. A meeting for organization will be held on October 1. “Strange to record, Mr. Hedges, He- publican nominee for state treasurer in New’ York, remained a private through out the war. He served with bravery* and was frequently offered a commission but always refused to leave tho ranks. If this statement of the New’ York Times can be substantiated, it will show that at least one private survived the late unpleasantness; but at this late day the statement smacks of Munchauseuism- and this private’s record will have to be fortified by a goodly host of witnesses.
