JOB WOK.K NIRA-1'JLAT EXECUTED at THIS OFFICE— After having invented the first, a smokeless powder, the chiefs of the French army have done their utmost to conceal the secret from strangers. A precaution very nat ural, and which not to take would have been unpardonable; but precaution, nevertheless, which from the beginning could have been qualified as useless, for it was very certain that one day or other the strangers would succeed to find a preparation more or less analo gous to oars, that is, giving like it, very little smoke with a very fee' ble detonation. To-day the principal powers nearly all possess this smokeless powder. The Germans have even tried it at their grand maneuvers last year. We will do the same at our autumn maneuvers this year. The practical stndy of this won derful production is not less im portant than the discovery itself. One point to verify is the phisio- logicaJ action exercised upon the soldiers by the products of the combustion of the powder. If it makes no smoke it develops, nev ertheless, gases which their invisi bility hinders not to get upon the organism. In certain armies the soldiers have been, it seems, much inconvenienced by the emanations of the powder. With ns nothing like it has yet been produced. Bat one cannot pronounce with certain ty anything about the harmless ness of our powder, from that point of view, until after repeated shooting executed by men gathered in great numbers, as at m vers. As to the consequences of the employment'of the new powder, in point of view of tactics, what seems best established,for infantry fighting,that is’that the absence of smoke will render it more murder ous at short distances, and on the contrary, less murderous at some what considerable distances. When in fact, the two adversaries are sufficiently near each other to mu tually observe well, the smoke .forms between them a veil which obstructs the sight of one and the other, and through which- they must shoot nearly at hazard. If on the contrary, the distance is sufficiently great, so that men can scarcely distinguish each other, the smoke of each is a signal visi ble from af ur, and which facilitates to the enemy the direction of liis shot. It is clear that with repeat ing guns, the introduction of which accompanies the smokeless pow der, the fight at short distances will cause, in a short time, the de struction of one of the adversa ries, if not of both. This ap proach will only take place at the last moment, when one of the two parties will be sufficiently unset tled to prevent the approach of the other. The decisive attack mast be prepared by a fight en gaged in and sustained further off than to-day. The preparation of the attack becoming, therefore, more necessary than ever. The ar tillery, which this preparation principally concerns, gains still more in importance. Her fire, on the other hand, will be greatly fa cilitated, as well by the absence of her own smoke as by the suppres sion of the smoke of the infantry. It will be easier for her to assist until the last moment, with her projectiles, her own troops in the attack on the adverse position, be cause the absence of smoke will en able her to distinguish both friend and enemy. The general direction of opera tions will become more difficult. The absence of smoke and the fee bleness of the noise of the explo sion will not permit any more the marching up to the cannon. It is necessary to give at a distance an account of the situation, to exam ine it directly from an elevated point. This will render still more necessary the employment of arti ficial observatories, and of captive balloons, or even free ones. The battle 'fields, which the smoke does not cover any more, will thus be mnch easier to examine from on high Let ns add finally that with the new explosives the fight must near ly always be more decisive, how ever thoroughly the troops may have been engaged. Riddled by the bnllets of the victor, whose shooting will no more be marked by his own smoke, like to-day, the fugitives run a great risk of being destroyed, and the slightest de feat will change itself promptly into a rout, if not a disaster. From this the important. fact that at the moment of engaging in action the commanders of the ar mies and the chiefs of troops, of all grades, will feel still more heav ily the burden of responsibility which rests on them. It is there fore on the side of tboBewho know best to support it, that will be the chances of success. Thus the “chirac ter” will remain more than ever the master quality to be de manded of officers of all grades.

I be lieve there are very few New Yorkers who realize what a varie ty of running and creeping things th9y eat under the name of terra- Southern-Atliance Farmer. The jute bagging combination, it is reported, has reached the conclusion that it will be more profitable to dissolve their league and seek incorporation. Accord ing to the Boston Commercial Bul letin, eight companies with a ra ted annual capacity of 31,300,000 yards, will be incorporated under the laws of West Virginia as the American Manufacturing Compa ny, with a capital stock of 81,000,- 000. Fourteen mills will remain independent, with a capacity of 30,000,OOO yards. Commenting on these state ments, the Springfield Republican says: “So goes another trade conspir acy. It held up prices with the grand result of stimulating a most profitable production from the in dependent mills, and driving the cotton planters to the use of a largo amount of bagging of other mate rial, diminishing the demand, and National Economist. pin.

They are the salt water terrapin. .But the red-legged terrapin, which are fresh water product, are. found in great numbers in the Susquehana river, in Pennsylvania, and are to the average diner just as good as the diamond-backs. Red-leg ter rapin, so-called on account of the red markings inside of their slip pers, are shipped here from Phila delphia in considerable numbers. One firm in the Seventeenth street market, one of the. Quaker City’s best, ships dozen’s of crates here every week. The red-legs, when properly stewed in their own juices, and dressed with cream, sherry and hard-boiled eggs in a judiciously mixed sauce, just be fore serving, are as good as the or dinary diamond-backs, and im mensely superior to the messes of tripe and veal which many a New Yorker gets at ‘good hotels’ under the high-sounding and high-priced name of this great amphibian deli cacy.” The encroachment of the Sahara desert upon the bordering territo ry is being fought by every means that man can devise. One compa ny now trying to redeem the ter ritory of desert by irrigation, has sunk nine wells and planted 50,- 000 date trees. It has nine hun dred acres of productive land re claimed from the "desert, watered by twenty-five miles of irrigating canals. The question as to wheth er or not irrigation produces ma laria is being discussed as a medi cal and industrial problem. The farmers from every sec tion of the state report fine pro gress in farm work, and the pros pect of an early start with their crops. In Scotland it is said that to rock the empty cradle will in sure the coming of othe occupants for it Prices must come down now, and the last state of the trade is defi nitely worse than tne first.” All of this, says the News and Courier, will be interesting to the members of the Farmers’ Alli ance, and to other farmers through out' the south, who are already preparing to continue the fight in favor of cotton covering next sea son. It is plain that by concerted action the cotton producers can easily make themselves masters of the situation. It will not do, how ever, to wait nntil midsummer be fore taking action, as they waited last season. The whole question in regard to the covering for the next crop should be settled one way or the-other, before the first acre of cotton is planted in 1890. A Good Day’s Work. Weakness of itself is not a dis ease. It is however a most dis tressful symptom. Alas! how many wearily drag themselves about, every effort giving them distress, existing without any of the .pleas urable sensations of robust health. Are yon in this condition? Why? There is no excuse for feeling mean and miserable. Remove the cause of your distress, which undoubtedly is.a state . of blood impuriiy and disordered system. How? Why, by doing as others have done. G. W. Chandler, Red Fork, Ark., writes: “I was so weak that it was only with great effort that I could do anything. I used several bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, and can now do a good day’s work.” “Able to do a good day’s work!” Is there not something sweet and refreshing in that expression? Strength to vigorously do this or that. Strength that is only over come by natural fatigue. Strength that is by rest and nature fully re stored. Such will be your reward if you give B. B. B. a trial. H. B. Randolph, Brunswick, Ga., writes : “I was under the care of nine different doctors, but not one did me the good that Botanic Blood Balm has done ine.” About the.only man who ever makes anything by attending to other people’s business is the law yer.

It will careyou.^and gre a good appetite, gold Thousands of tourists, and among them many art connois seurs, have thoroughly .examined the bronze doors on the east front of the senate wing of the capitol, says the Washington Post, bat it was reserved for a horny-fisted son of toil to discover a defect in tfiese works of American artisans. These doors were cast' at Chico pee, Mass,, and are intended to de pict scenes in the early history of the United States. Prominent in one of the center panels, on the right hand side of the entrance, is a figure on horseback supposed to represent the father of his coun try returning at[the head of his victorious troops. “He must have just come out of pasture with his horse,” remarked a stalwart gran ger, after surveying the door in tently, “for he has no stirrups, and just look Dow his legs dangle in consequence.” This criticism was found to be true, and is the only drawback to the enjoyment of the spirited scenes portrayed in bronze, for all the other panels have generals properly equipped, if they happen to be on horse back The Alliance makes its own dec imation of purposes, clear, distinct and unequivocal. One of its pur poses is not to break up the demo cratic party on the one hand, or the republican party on the other. Why then do political editors in sist that they mean to do first one, then the other, and sometimes both, and to set up in their room an oath-bound, secret, political organ ization. We have denied this until ye are tired denying it. Once more, the thing is hot true. The Alliance does not aim at the de struction of political parties, but the reform and control of them. No purpose is entertained by the organization of setting men by the ears, nor indulging in the asperi ties which have so long disgraced political debate. Onr purpose is, if we can, to take the political par ties out of the hands of the petty bosses, including those of every kind and degree. We intend to assert the power of numbers in the primaries, and thereby, if we can, take the party nominations out of the hands of the people who have controlled them, and to nominate and elect better men. This we have a clear right to do, and we cannot be driven from onr purpose by the idle denunciations and “noisy breath” of self-constituted censors, editors of others. If they have a fancy to fill the air- with this sort of “inarticulate howls,” no man will hinder them. Neither will any sensible man any more regard them than does he the howling of the idle wind. Such people have been giving us advice gratis and unsolicited, and by wholesale. We are not in that line of business, but in order to make them a fair return we de9ire to say that if such people think such'bowlings are in tfie smallest degree going to influence any per son’s conduct -we are of the opin ion that they are mistaken.

We believe certain great reforms in the financial system of the gov ernment are necessarj, and at the same time that they are just and right, and that they will benefit all classes of the people. If we insist upon these reforms while the bosses oppose them, and we, by controlling the primaries, nom inate men pledged to them, is that breaking up the party? What are they going to do, these bosses and the editors they control? Are they going to breakup the party because they can no longer run it for the personal ends and ambitions of their set? When it comes to this it is a question whether a “secret, oath-bound political orgahization” is better or worse than such a po litical banditti These men take the position that they will smash the party unless they can rule it for their own purposes or in fur therance of their own views. If the Alliance, a majority of the par ty, will not submit to. hold by them, a very small minority, and to vote as directed by them, and nominate and elect candidates set up by them, then the Alliance is chargeable with breaking np the party. Was ever such nonsense heard before? It is high time.we heard the last of it. It would be an easy and cheap way to break up the Alliance, - and reduce its voting strength to subjugation to the po litical boss, the professional poli- cian, the party caucus, if it could be made effectual. Nothing is so cheap as this kind of wrath, which, if it cost anything to manufacture, would;not be so lavishly poured out. It is a species of natural gas which explodes spontaneously and makes a great splutter, and emits a bad smell, but illuminates noth ing. Doubtless these persons are giving us their best connsel, and if they knew how valueless we hold it, they would take the only Chicago Tribune. , “Talk about real estate sharks who ore now booming desolate Da kota,” said Col.

I'll give you an instance: “A storekeeper in one of the set tlements,. who had a big stock, wasn’t getting ridjof it as fast as he thought he ought. In fact, there was danger of the settlement wast ing away before his stock could be disposed of. He fixed up a big scheme. * “One day a man dressed in a miner’s garb, and mounted on a broncho, rode into the settlement about the time of day, when' the store was most crowded. Dis mounting he strode into the store. He carried a pair of saddle-bags on his arms. Give me a new suit of clothes, and all the sugar, coffee, tea, smok ing and chewing tobacco, watches and diamonds that my horse can carry back,” he exclaimed to the storekeeper. The articles were bundled up, the man took a handful of large gold nuggets from his saddle-bags, threw them down on the counter in payment, mounted his loaded horse, and rode away. “Who is he?” asked the crowd, the moment after he had left the store. “Where did he come from?’ they again demanded, as soon ns they had learned his name. “Then the storekeeper let out the secret that he was Bob Clavin. from Black Gulch,, where he and some chnms had struck a rich nugget find, and were becoming millionaires. “He says the whole country around there is filled with nug- the storekeeper added inci dentally. “All the merchandise in the store was immediately purchased to equip the large party, which im mediately started for this new cold field. “And when the party foot-sore, heart-sore, and dead broke return ed from their fruitless wanderings a week later, the storekeeper and Bob Clavin were a hundred miles away, cracking jokes over the gul libility of some “suckers” A Gentle Hint to Candidate Livingstoii. * . we have for them and shut up. why not make earnest effort to con fer that pleasure on others?

The Fort Gaines correspondent of the Macon Telegraph writes: “The most unique substitute for bagging I have yet seen or heard of came into the Alliance ware house yesterday. It was a bale of cotton brought in by Mr. Wesley Dish, of this county, and had for a covering two large dry cow hides on thef sides, and two smaller ones ones for the ends. Mr. Rish says that by using his hides in this manner he can get ten cents per pound for them against four cents on the market, and he doesn’t care how much tare that bale carries with its weight The throes of inventive genilTs have resulted in another scheme for utilizing the power of Niagara.

Great opportunities only present themselves once or twice in a life-, time, and if yon have been un fortunate heretofore, or are not brief piece of gratuitous advice now profitably employed, you can “We have recently seen a print ed letter,” says the Southern Alli ance Farmer, of Atlanta, “gotten oat by an Allianceman who wants office. It sets forth in good style his fitness for the position and gives what he conceives to be good reasons why he should be sup ported. This thing, taken aside from the man’s connertion with the Alliance, would not cause any comment upon our part, but when men try to use the Alliance as a stepping-stone to office, we most seriously object. The aspirant is not in any way connected with the State Alliance, either as officer or as a committeeman; does not as pire to be Governor, but he wants a position of public trust, and his printed letters give the name of the Alliance to which he belongs. If a man wants the nomination of the Democratic party, we want to see him seek it as a Democrat, but not endeavor to constitute himself an Alliance candidate, and send his printed campaign circulars to Alliancemen of prominence, seek ing their endorsement, which he in turn will add to his campaign literature. If a brother is so well known, and his fitness for position so evident that the people throughout the State want hire to serve them, he will not have to send out letters to the order tell ing them who he is and how he is needed in office. Those of our brethren who are now, or ever ex pect to indulge in that kind of pol icy, will find that they have made a great mistake. Simply being an Allianceman does not fit one for office any more than it unfits him for it. The order will always con demn such attempts to use its in fluence.
