ALLIANCE TALKS. HEWS OF THE ORDER FROM * ALL SECTIONS. Items of Interest to Alliance men Everywhere. The A dispatch from Salina, Kas., says: Farmers’ Alliance state convention Saturday morning completed the election of officers by electing H. Bowmun Bur¬ ton, charge issuranco commissioner, to have of all business under the co-opera¬ tive system, After passing the customary Complimentary tion adjourned resolutions, the conven¬ sine die. * * * 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. * Ac 5k 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. Ac Ac 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. * Sr * OFFICIAL NOTICE.

The national Union Company, of the New York Co-operative, which grew out of the farmers’ convention at Ocala, Fla., And received the established approval in of Louisville, President Polk, has been Kj. The Farmers’ Alliance had already «8tablished business at Louisville, and did last yeir about seventy-five thousand dollars’worth of trade. Options have been secured on thirty-five aud stores Vice at various points in the state, President Wilson, of the national union, has transferred them to agents chosen by farmers’ couuty organizations as fast as possible.

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. THROUGH DIXIE.

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 St. Louis Apothecaries’ Association to be Prosecuted. A St. Louis dispatch of Tuesday says; In accordance with the anti trust law, United States District Attorney Reynolds has decided to commence an active cam paign against the St. Louis Apothecaries’ Officers of association or “drug 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 been opened. For seveial weeks the 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.
