ALLIANCE TALKS. NEWS OF THF ORDER AND MEMBERS. Interesting (omuients on the Situa¬ tion by the Reform Press. The California and Alliance Tribune, t- « excellent reform papers, have consolidated and are now published Los Angeivs. The combination makes fine thow with its new outfit. The Southern Mercury, of Dallas, Tex rs, is ten years old. It is the organ of Texas State Alliance, and wiu lormerly organ of the National Alliance before it p iper was established at Washington, The Mercury is one of tho best among re¬ form papers. *% The Southern Mercury (Dallas, Tex.) siys: Th« money power, through the newspapers of the country, have stayed or sidetracked every reform iu the past by ridicule, sarcasm, misrepiesentation, auu appeals to take nasions ■ aud blind piejudice. Say, farmers, iff tho bridles of partisan prejudice, so you can see for y urselves. *% TUK ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE. No assemblage of citizens, perhaps in in the history of this eouutry, has ever excited such deep nnd universal interest hb the one which will convene in tho city of ht. Louis on the 22nd inst. The great industrial elements will there be repre¬ sented. They are to meet and consult together for the common good. The men who go there will be sent to repre¬ sent tho sentiments of their respective constituencies. They will not eo there to carry out their own peculiar and individ¬ ual views. They are not to work in the inicrect of any particular political party. They sre to do the very Cost thing for tho relief and welfare of the peoplo who sent them thcro. We regret to seo somo disposition in certain quarters to pack that t.ody. Wo would quietly givo outn friendly noto of warning—if any tun n goes to that conference nnd assumes to drive his po plo into a false position, he will be repudiated, i s ho should be, by his peoplo. Let the peoplo be watchful, firm and faithful uud they will triumph. —Ex. *% California Farmers’ Alliance (Stock ton, Old.) Bays: Mnuy of those who laughed ihe ut the Associated Press accoun’s of convention of the Farmers’ Alli¬ ance glee when nt Indianapolis, they heard nnd Were in high that tho Alliance had split nnd that it wou’d fast go to piccts niter tho convention, which they believid was a failure, are now wearing faces ns long and as serious looking us a Mormon preacher at the funeral of his first wife, when they learn tho truth through tho teform press. They begin to realize now that tho con¬ vention was a grand success instead of a failure, nnd that the split, which they did thought would break up the Alliance, purifying not amount the ranks to of anything the Alliance except in weeding out the undesirable l,y material that had found its way into the organization. It worries the enemies of the Alliance considerably learning to think—now that they are the truth—thnt instead of the Alliance going to pieces it is increasing in memboiship and gaining a stronger foothbld every day. They know that the iccjAu of the rltm ? inon |poly and a speedy ending of the unjust rived from revenue the that are now being de¬ honest labor of the farmer, mechanic and laborer. So it is not to be wondered at that those leeches of hu¬ manity who are enemies of the Alliance, go about wearing a long and serious looking free for they have a good cause to look worried. FLEDGING THE FEOPLE. It is now about time for tho rlngster polit clans to bi gin to put in their work. They will begin now to look out for the most prominent und influential alliance men in neighborhoods and counties und districts, uud offer to trade with them. They will. fler to aid these brethren in securing a nomination for commissioner, sheriff, c unty tre su er, clerk or for the legislmure, provided this allianccman will work for a cert in man for congress, old or a ringster- st.to r tod'ral have fixed office.

The A recent people’s Washington of house dispatch says: party the of repre¬ sentatives is in fact a political organiza (ion ana is united as to tlie party meas¬ ures which it is to press upou the two houses of the Fifty-second congress. In the caucus which met before the organi¬ zation of the house and nominated Rep¬ resentative Watson of Georgia as a can¬ didate of the people’s party for speaket of the house, it was decided to preserve their political autonomy on all questions to the end of the session. Within the past few days various reports of an alleged division in the ranks of the people’s and representatives third have been cur rent, party men complain that these rumors have been inspired by the politicians of other parties and were tel¬ egraphed to the partem press through¬ out tne country pcftelj for political effect, So ssllne are ; DCWJ rumors in their incep jtinMitaMbe the regul r issued representatives oi people’s addres* party has the follow ing to the country: "To correct an erroneous account which has ftrenco appeared the in.the dissension public ic prints the in ref t» ranks of the alliance congres-men, we make the following statement: of alliance "At no meeting the mem¬ bers of congre-s was there a motion or a suggestion that they should join tbe iemocratic parly or cast their lot with it.

Under tho above enption tho Southern Allianco Farmer (Atlanta, Us.,) gives whut it believes to be the true work and status of tlie t armer’s Alliance as nu or¬ ganization. We quote ..s follows: “This is a question f<>t the considera¬ tion of all lioncst citizens, but especially U it of direct importance to the members of the order, some of whom though zeal ous and faithful in the discharge of what they consider tho duties and obligations of alliauccmcn, have yet but an imper¬ fect knowledge of the organization ns it was founded or exi-ts, and it behoves us in view of tho very great importance of the subject to studv it closely and delib¬ erately and to reflect upon the nature of our order and its r- laiiotu to the politi¬ cal world as well as tho national govern¬ ment. The nature of our organiza¬ tion is a fraternal one; this implying a peaceable and united body; a freedom from prejudice or antagonism, In other words a brotherhood in which a mutual interest and a mutual regard is estab¬ justice lished, founded Upon the principle of and formed for tho relief of u down-trodden, ished oppressed and impover¬ people. This is, then, the outline survoy of the alliance. Now its political character, or rather its relation to tho po¬ litical world. To this it is an alien for¬ eign in foundation nil its bearings and laws. In its very stands the pillar as a cor¬ ner stone declaring its non partisan prin¬ ciples, ritory it by invades virtue it of its extent and the ter¬ can carry no atom of partisan politics in its structure.

Wo invite them to join us, not to interfere with those tilings, for over these issues we tnko no surveillance, We ask thftn to como into our brothcr hood, a true Alliance, formed and established upon the Ocala platform and above all party prejudices or fa vors, above tho preferment of factions, a fixed platform and tiiat is built upon principles immutable as truth. King¬ doms shall be overthrown, dynasties pars away, principalities and powers shall fail, nton irchles bo lost and empires become republics, the doctrines but the princip’es upon which of the Alliance are built can never fail. Men may tower like intel¬ lectual giants above their fellowmen and yet they must be laid low and sleep tho sleep of death, measures may succeed for a while and then fail, political factions may flourish and triumph fur a while and then fall and sink into oblivion, but the grand princlpcls tiiat propagated tho Alliance and upon which it is built is ns old ns the creation und came with tho breath of immortality that roado man n living soul, and is as firm as tho ever lliii a i im .’.R lMrgrtiS.

Catarrh"- Remove tlie Cans©* I was afflicted from infancy with Catarrh, and for ten years with eruptions on my face. I was attc ^ d hv the best physici.isn, and used a numbei of Blood remedies wilt, no per¬ manent relief. MY LIFE BECAME A BURDEN TO ME, foi my case was declared incurable. I saw S. S. S. advertised, and took eight bottles, which cured tne entirely, and 1 feel like a new person.—Miss Josie Owen, Montpelier, Ohio. I was the victim of the worst case of Catarrh th:t I ever heard of. I was entirely deaf in one ear, and all the inside of my nose, includinj part of the bone, sloughed off. No sort of treatment benefited me, and physicians said “f would never be any better.” As a last resort I took Swift’s Specific, and it entirely cured me and restored my hearing. I have been well for years, with no sign of return of the disease.—Mrs. Josephine Pot.HHX, Due H'est. S. C. S. S. S. cures Catarrh, like it does ithtr Blood diseases, by elimina¬ ting the poison which causes it. T reatise on Blood and Skin mailed free. SWIFT SPECIF C COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga. i r HI j : . E !
