THEY WANT FREE COINAGE. Meeting of Alliance Presidents at Washington. At the m-eting of the presideats of Farmers’ Alliances at Washington, Wed¬ nesday evening the following, report was submi ted: regard it high . , “Resolved, That we a duty enioined upon congress by tho con¬ stitution to provide for an unlimited coinage of both precious metals, gold and silver° to the end that the provided peopie with of the several stu es may be a circulating medium. We express <>ur surprise and indignation that this duty has been so long delayed and neglected, contrary, as we believe, not only to the duty we have mentioned, but to. the best interests of the masses of our people who are suffering the pangs of poverty and stagnation of business, caused by a want We of 'sufficient circulating such medium. delay and believe and charge that neglect has been occasioned by an undue influence in our governmental contract politics the by th‘ se whose interest it is to currencv and subserve monopolies and money lenders. We, uieiefore, urge upon congress the demand heretofore made by the National Farmers’ Alliance and Indu trial Union for the free and uu united coinage of sil¬ ver upon the same terms and conditions that go d is now coined. We express our earnest condemnation of the exercise of arbitrary power which prevented a fair consideration of the free coinage b-ill at the last session of congress, and in this connection we give expression to the hope that th i freo coinage bill which passed the senate during considered tho present in ses¬ the sion, and is now being and committee o i coinage, weights mea sures of the house, shall not bo sup¬ pressed, but shall be speedily reported back to the h mse aud enacted in ! o law. With proper re-pect and deference to our representatives on the committee in the ( house, we say that any efforts to unduly delay the report on that bill, so as to prevent action thereon by the house in the few remaining days of this congress, will merit, and will receive, still further condemns ion by the farmers and laborers of this country. A NEW PLAN. At the meeting Thursday, T. S. Adams, president of the state alliance of Louisi¬ ana, introduced a resolution, which was law adoped, urging congress to enact a in accordance with the memorial adop ed by the Ocala conference in opposition to the Louisiana state lottery. Th- r. .port of the committee on plans was also submitted during alliance the day. In addition to the various or¬ ganizations already in existence, it con¬ templates the formation of congressional district alii* rices in each state and t rri tory where allia ce organizations flourish. Each congressional district is to have a lecturer. Tho 6tate legislative composed committee of is hereafter to be tho state president, state executive board, state lecturer a d the lec.urers of each con¬ gressional d strict. The congressional legislative committee is to consist of the president of the con¬ gress’ onol District Alliance, its lecturer, the president of each County Alliance. The county legislative council is to be composed of the county president, county lecturer and the president of oaoh subor¬ dinate Alliance. The meeting adjourned Friday, hav¬ ing completed its work. A standing national legislative committee, consisting ofL. L. Polk A. E. Cole, of Michigan, and U. T. Hall, of MissouYi, w as ap¬ pointed, and an Alliance press bureau was determined upon, to be in charge of H. F. Ayres, of N rth Carolina. All of the nlliancemen present at the meeting state emphatically that there will be no t ird party movement. At the meeting Saturday the report of the committee on resolutions was sub mit’eJ. It provides that the congress shall be styled “The Trans-Missouri Commercial Congress,” and stabs that the sole purpose of the convention shall be the consideration of ccon* mic ques¬ tions only. Ihe report urges upon con¬ gress for to provide by adequate the appropria¬ tion f e completion of work on a deep-water harbor at Galveston as speedily as pos-ible without inteirup tion Among other things the report says; “That we favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver; that we favor the reclamation f the arid region west by the national government; that wc favor the immediate opening of Ind an reservations in Okaiahoma and else¬ where.” The committee was unanim us on all the resolutions. A motion was made to amend the resolution relating to the free coinage of silver by adding the word “product of mines of the Un ited Slates.” After a short discussion, it was adopted. The convention then adjourned to meet in Denver, Col., on May lb, 1891. RAILROAD MAGNATES Meet to Adopt a New Tarifl Sheet. There win a meeting at N ishville.

A Dramatic Incident Two men sat near each other in the Pittsburg railroad station Monday after¬ noon, strangers to one another. They began talking about the weather, and then oec asked the other to take a drink, Within ten minutes these two strangers had discovered to their amazement that they were long-lost brothers, Frank and James Williams, who had not seen or heard of each other for thirty years. told They cried over their wine, and each the story of his life. Frank hid lun away as a boy from the Pennsylvania world, farm and had diifted all over toe iinaily making his fortune in Colorado, where he no w r sides. James had re¬ mained with the old folks and had seen them decently buried.

No one doubts that Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy really cures Catarrh, whether the disease be recent or of long standing, because the makers of it clinch their faith in it with a $500 guarantee, which isn’t a mere newspaper guar¬ antee, but “ on call ” in a moment. That moment is when you prove that its makers can’t cure you. The reason for their faith is this: Dr. Sage’s remedy has proved itself the right of cure for ninety-nine of out Catarrh one in hundred cases the Head, and the Dispensary Medical Associa¬ tion can afford to take the risk of your being the one hundredth. The only question is—are you willing to make the test, if the makers are willing to take the risk? If so, the rest is easy.
