The Indiana state Farmers’ Alliance
closed its session Saturday by the elec¬
tion of delegates to the national conven
ion in November, resolutions were
liouis adopted endorsing the Octala and St.
of platforms, demanding the abolition
national bank issues of currency and
the issue of legal tender notes to be loan¬
ed according to the subtreusury plan;
demanding the abolition of free railroad
for passes; ignoring denouncing the last legislature
the demands of confedera¬
ted labor; demanding national and state
legislation to prohibit the manufacture
apd rights sale for of liquors, and demanding equa
women.

The Southern Mercury (Dallas, Tex.)
says: The retail merchants, lawyers,
doctors and other necessary professions
are themselves beginning all over Texas to align
on the side of the Alliance
demands. The pinch for money, not¬
farmers, withstanding the herculean efforts of the
mechanics and all other wage
earners to obtain money with which to
meet their obligations, is having its nat¬
ural effect upon those who associate and
deal directly with the wealth producers.
These people are beginning to realize
that it is an utter impossibility for the
producers of all wealth to pay what they
owe, to hence say nothing about a cash busi¬
knowing ness; they are failing into line,
that in saving the farmers from
tenantry they are saving themselves from
bankruptcy.

At the recent session of the Florida
State Alliance Convention the following
resolutions were adopted on recommen¬
dation of the committee on transporta¬
tion :
the Resolved, first, That we approve, of
inter-State Commerce Commission,
because it offers the only means of relief
for just and equitable transportation
rates on our products grown and shipped
at non-competitive points.
Second, That we call upon our mem¬
bers of Congress to sustain the hands of
the Commission by passing such addi¬
tional legislation as will give them the
authority,to require transportation lines
to make through rates on products going
out of our State into another. Also, to
use all efforts to so amend the constitu¬
tion and laws of the United States as to
give greater dignity and respect to the
decisions of the Commission by making
them final and not subject to revision by
other courts.

The Midland Journal (Rising Sun,
Mo.) saya: Those persons who read
newspapers—and ■upposed quite a number are
to do so—frequently see men¬
tion made of Alliance tickets, Alliance
parties, Alliance candidates, etc. All
such statements are groundless. The
Alliance is not a political party, makes
no nominations, has never a ticket or
candidates. The Alliance is an order
that investigates political questions and
imparts affairs. instruction on political economic
Members of all political parties
make up the order, and the only influ¬
ence it exerts is through the information
it secures and imparts to its members on
political impart reliable or governmental information subjects. these To
on
subjects is very dangerous to the present
offense political parties, and this is wherein the
of the Alliance lies. Those
whose deeds are evil fear the light.
Hence the hubbub raised against the Al¬
liance.

A WASTE OF TIME AND SPACE.
The National Economist . editorially .
says :
There are even now a number of good
people wasting time and valuable news
paper space in an endeavor to devise
some financial scheme to supplant the
sub-treasury plan. While these efforts
are no doubt honest they have so far been
futile. The people have decided to push
the sub-treasury plan to afinal conclusion
and will admit of no side tracks. Sixteen
State Alliances have declared for the sub
treasury plan, and their action will be
followed by all the others. There are
fully seven hundred papers advocating
the plan vigorously and intelligently that
cannot be token from this position. In
$srxrjrj& rn.'SSLi individ
to introduce at the present time
ual theories. The difficulty which waits
upon a want of continuity of purpose on
the part of many earnest reformers lead
to a continual desire for something new
and novel. In many cases a desire for
personal notoriety induces others to
•trive to bring out some plan to which
their names may be attached and thereby
heralded throughout the country. There
are others, however, who are seeking for
something better, with an honest pur
pose of improving the conditions
have fallen upon the people. These dif
ferent classes have had full sway during
the past year, and the result ha«
been to solidify more securely
the Alliance upon the sub-treasury plan,
and make the people more earnest in their
demand for its adoption. In every in¬
stance where a substitute has been offered
it has been rejected, and no one has suc¬
ceeded in making the least impression
on the order in favor of any other and plan.
Having stood the test so long hav¬
ing a backing which no other reform
measure in this country ever had, it
seems unfortunate that all reformers can¬
not unite with the Alliance and push
this measure to its finlal adoption. Plain
duty to a distressed and discouraged
people seems to dictate such a couise.
A NEW ASSOCIATION
For the Gathering of News Through¬
out the South.
A number of the leading newspaper
men in business in Virginia, North Car¬
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Tennessee met Friday in New York city,
at the At tor house, and organized the
Southern Associated Press as a business
enterprise. A large amount of capital
was subscribed. The association is to
commence at once the gathering of news
throughout the country, and to supply
their reports to newspapers and news
organizations. It will be a strong asso¬
ciation. The following named offi¬
cers were elected; President, Evan P.
Howell, ot Atlanta, Ga.; secretary and
manager, Adolph 8. Ochs, of Chatta
nooga, Tenn.; directors, YV. W. Screws,
of Montgomery, Ala.; J. II. Estill, of
Savannah, Ga.; George Nicholson, of
New Orleans, La.; J. C. Hemphill, of
Charleston, S. C.; Evan P. Howell, of
Atlauta, Ga.; T. T. Stocktog, of Jack
sonville, Fla.; W. P. Pinckard, of
Birmingham, Ala.; Adolph B. S. Ochs, of
Chattanooga, Tenn.; C. O. Cownrdin,
of Richmond, Va. There were received
many telegrams from visitors and propri
etors of southern newspapers expressing
approval of the movement and promising
it their support. After arranging de
tails sor the transaction of businesa the
meeting adjourned.

NO RELIEF
From the Russian Government to aid
Starving Feasants.
A London cablegram of Tuesday says;
The Daily News learns that, the Russian
government has rejected richest the Moscow petition of
a deputation of the mer¬
chants for permission to form a society
for the relief of victims of the famine
stricken districts. The society was
backed by an immense amount of capital
and a host of volunteers. The minister
of the interior, in declining the attempting proposi¬
tion, declared that anybody prevails,
to visit a district where famine
for any such object as that described,
would be arrested. The emigration so¬
ciety has prohibited the organization of
relief committees at certain points. This
is supposed to be due to a fear that re¬
liance upon government relief will have
a bad moral effect on the peasants, who
will decline to work on relief railways
and roads while the ready cash of the
famine fund is procurable.
AFTER THE TRUST.

the trust have notified all wholesale
dealers in the United States that all pat
rouage will be withdrawn from those
houses selling to local druggists who are
not members of the trust, and have ap
pended a list of those declining to join, the
The result is that a firm outside of
trust has received notice from a well
known New York house that the latter
cannot fill orders for patent medicine un¬
til the concern has entered into the “corn
bine.” Mt . Reynolds will bring the mat¬
ter before the grand jury.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Corrects Published Misstatements Re¬
garding its Affairs.
The New York Journal of Commerce ,
whose editor, Mr. Associated Stone, is president prints of
the New York Press,
the following editorial in regard to mis¬
statements which have been going the
rounds of tho press concerning changes
in that organization:
“We do not suppose that the editors
and their corresondcnts, who so grossly Asso¬
misrepresent the affairs of the
ciated Press, intend to tell anything misin¬ but
the truth, but they are wholly
formed, often by parties interested in
spreading error, as to the facts, and are
thus led into publication of the misstate¬
ments so widely circulated concerning
this theme. We have before us a long
telegraph dispatch from Washington,
printed in the Inter- Ocean of Chicago,
in which there is hardly a word of truth.
We will add a few corrections of the
most important of these untruths. No
paper has withdrawn or given from any
notice of its intentiou to withdraw
the New York Associated Press. The
New York Associated Press has “not a
large surplus in its treasury," nor a sur¬
plus of any kind, and there has been no
time when members have had nothing to
pay for their own news service and have
had a large surplus besides. The ex¬
penses of the association have always
been more than its income. It is not true
that sharp dissensions in the association
have grown out of the election of Col.
Elliott F. Shepard as its president. that A
sufficient reply to that charge is
Colonel Shepard was never chosen or
even nominated for that office. It is not
true that it has been a sort of tradition
that the proprietor of the Mail and Ex¬
press should be president of the associa¬
tion, or that James Brooks, Cyrus W.
Field and Col. Elliott F. Shepard have
held this office successively. No one ot
these gentlemen was ever proposed for
the office. The editor of the Journal of
Commerce has held that position for more
than forty years.
THE CREDITORS

Of Moses Bros., at Montgomery, Ala.,
Will Start a Bank ol their Own.
A Montgomery dispatch of Monday
says : At last the creditors of the late
bank of Moses Bros., think they see their
way clear. A charter has been secured,
nnd a trust company, to be known as the
Fidelity Trust Company, is to be formed
at once. The books of subscriptions have

committee has been holding conferences
with the Moses Bros., trying to agree
upon the details of the trust company,
night, but failing at a meeting agreed held Friday
the committee to disagree
with Moses Bros., and the present com
pany independent is to be organized by the creditors,
of Moses Bros. The cred¬
itors, availing themselves of the latitude
given Chancellor them under the late decree of
Foster in this case, which
empowers the assignees to sell all the
assets at public sale, to be bid in by the
creditors and paid for in claims, propose
to force the sale, buy the assets ana go
into a trust company.
