THE Farmers Alliance up in New York
means an alliance with the Greenbackers.
The allied convention has been held; but
it does not appear that there has been any
radical change in the number of pecks in
bushels of wheat or the value of the in
tegral cents in dollar. But the theorists
have had their say, all the same.

intelligent persons laymen as we'll as ministers

through accurate trauslations or summaries

THE Governor of Georgia has said some-
thing to the Governor Of Maine. The sub
stance of his remarks was not SO hospitable
ns that which prompted the opening of the
historical conversation between the Gov
ernors of the two Carolinas; in fact, it re-
lated to politics. To sum up, the G. of c.,
Christian statesman and Bourbon Democrat,
solemnly informs the G.. of NJ, Puritan
statesman and Mudsill Democrat, that there
is no bull-dozing in Georgia. This is a
solemn truth, for the bull-dozing period
came to an abrupt end in that
state several years ago, when the
negro members of the legislature were
illegally expelled from that body, and
when the Democratic minority, in the name
of Home Rule, seized the reigns Of Govern
ment by virtue of organized force. Since
then there has been comparative peace and

Tourists in Europe arc as plenty as TIM ped
lers in a new country, aud diaries of foreign
travel are as common as bills of fare at hotel;
but occasionally we come across book of tray
els of peculiar interest and profit to the stay
at-homes-readers who get knowledge of
the old world without seeing it, In glancing
through the $50 pages giving an account of the
summcrj jaunt of the Tourjee Educational party,
We are led to the conclusion that it is stored
with Just the kind Of information that every
one who has not been there wants to
know. The party consisted Of nearly three
hundred Americans, among whom was Mr..
Frank Boles, OF this city, and who contributed
that portion which relates 10 tho journey
from London over to Germany, Belgium. Swift
zerland and France, and back to England.
This will impart to the volume local interest,
as Mr. Bollos rates among the intellectual
young men of the city, and his contribution
will be read alike with interest aud pleasure.
The work is embcllished with fine illustrations.

Dwellings for the Working Glasses.


As there seems to be a mania this season
smong the capitalists for the erection of
Hne houses, and the expenditure of large
amount of money TO beautify them and
make them attractive, why could not some
of Cincinnati's wealthy men give thought
to the interests of the working classes? ?
They are the actual producers OF all TINS
wealth that is now being represented by
the houses that are being constructed IN
this city. Mechanics are hard worked
alasa and their business is or no mean
gtanding among the many interests of a
large city. Yet year after year fine city
md country residences are erected and the
nubiect of Homes for the Workingmen is
entirely ignored. Small houses could be
huilt for them with an annual rental that
would come within their means These
houses could be rented to the steadier class
without risk. and it could easily be ascer-
tsined who these are by inquiry. For ten
kone hours each day the mechanic is com
ueljed to labor, and his labor requires the
setive exercise of brain and physical pow
ars. When he returns to his home i'll the
evening he is indeed tired, in all the word
implies. If he had the comforts of pleas
ant home, a small house and yard to him
self, he would surely gain more rest. He
could then enjoy peace and quiet IN thG
bosom OF his family, but now he must clint
q rickety stairway to a gloomy room of 6
tenement-house, where dirt, and some
times filth, abound, only to put in sleep
less night and resume work in the morning
feeling very little, if any, better than wher
he quit the night before
Is there not some philanthropic capital
mt in our city who will give this subjec
some attention and use his wealth to bette!
the condition of these people, such of then
who desire to have their condition bettered
snd at the same time derive a reasonable
interest from his outlay?
