The Pittsburg Post says; The iron
mills are running double turn, and
cant keep up with the orders. Goal
men are behind in delivery, railroads
can't furnish enough cars for coke or
coal, and yet we hear of manufacturers
croaking about the falling off of trade
on account of the Maine election.
These are the men who are trying to
injure public credit and create distrust
among business men. They know
better, but it would not do unless they
aired their wisdom.

A New Organization 10 Fight the
Railroads.

The farmers r again on the war
path, organizing their forces and pre-
pairing for another conflict with the
railroads. The new organization is
not known as the grange, but it is
called "The Farmers Alliance" Al
ready it is quitea formidable body in
New York and Illinois. A meeting
Of the friends Of the movement
throughout the United States is to be
held in Chicago on the 18th of October,
for the purpose of organizing a nation
al association. The New York board
oftrade and transportation and the
New York Farmers Alliance, and
other similar organizations throughout
the country, have agreed to send repre-
sentatives. The object ofthe National
Alliance, when organized, will be to
establish STATE and county alliances,
somewhat after the plan of grange
lodges. A circular calling attention
to the meeting says THE Alliance is
not a partisan political organization
and will interfere with no mans politi-
cal principles. 1t is a combination Of
farmers for self-protection against hos
tile legislation. Its frs and principal
object is to resist the further encroach.
ments Of the great railroad combiua
tons, and, if possible, secure govern
mental control Of the railroads as the
most practical way of putting an end
to the rings within rings, discrimina-
tions and extortionate tariff, which
are now so burdensome to the shippers
and producers" Until the meetiI &
on the 18th of October, the Cock
county alliance will act as q supren 9
body, and will furnish constitutions
aud charters for alliances in any part
Of the country.

which has been chronicled Of
speech, speaker and interrupter
hundred times heretofore, in
hundred different places.

The dispatches elsewhere say
that Porter, the Republican csndi.
date for Governor, ran 10000 ahead
of his ticket in Indiana, firstly on
account of his own popularity, and
secondly on account Of the unpop-
ularity OF Landers, the Democratic
nominee. By the latest claim of
Porter's plurality, this would leave
the rest of the Democratic State
ticket elected by q plurality of 1000,
which corresponds with one of the
fret dispatches. There is some
thing peculiar in these Indiana
advices. Only half the State has
been heard from, and yet confident
assertions are made that are not
warranted. 1t will be we'll for the
Democrats to reserve their faith
till the Associated Press is gracious
enough to let out the facts.

dent In the political career of a
man who Is not the nominee of
any Convention for office, but his
extreme virulence and vindictive-
ness on the stump, which assume
all the characteristics of personal
ferocity, condone this reminder.
A far worse criminal than any the
documentary evidence OF DIR. Con-
gar could establish is he who could
deliberately get up and inveigb,
with truculent energy, for two
hours, against the people Of q whole
section of the United States.
Woods is glib formulator of in.
vective and falsehood. He is wont
to challenge people to say so and
so, and to do so and so. AS for our
part we cheerfully challenge the
whole world and the rest of man-
kind to furnish q biped who can
tell half as many untruths
in given space as ex-
Governor Woods, or who can
infuse half as much malignity and
bad heart into them. Woods, the
other night, challenged the HER
AID 10 mention single good
measure introduced by the Demo-
Gratis into Congress. TO enumerate
these measures, taking only line
to each, would require two solid
columns of nonpareil. Enough to
say that the restoration of the
House Of Representatives in 1874
to Democratic control is the only
thing that prevented even the gov
eminent buildings from being
packed away piecemeal, with all
their muniments, by the degener.
ate and degenerating Republicans.
AS we stood and listened to this
oratorical Bombastes Furioso, We
could not help, a dozen times in
ten minutes, recalling that fervid
expression of Falstaff's, "Good
Lord how this world is given to
lying" Go to Woods! Thou art
q prevarioator.
