THE FARMERS. ALLIANCE,

Tho organization of agricultural
associations all over the territory is a
healthy sign. It shows that there is
growing to be community of interest
among the farmers and concern rs
to the general welfare of the country.
It indicates an advance from that
condition Of things in which every
man is mainly content to revolve
around his own potato patch, so ab.
sorbed in the work of establishing IL
home for himself that he hasn't time
to consider his interests as they are
related to those of his neighbor or to
seriously reflect on how the general
welfare of the community affects his
own prosperity. In the struggles of
early pioneer life often much advan.
tage is lost to farmers by not taking
time for mutual discussion, especially
on matters in which experience is the
best guide.
We are not fully advised as to the
workings of the Farmers Alliance,
branches Of which are being organized
all over the Territory. We have no
doubt they may he made to accom-.
plish much good and their success
may be hailed as healthy indication.
There is one danger we desire to
point out to which the Farmers
Alliance seems to be exposed, right
at the outset, viz: the disposition on
the part of some of its members-witl,
the best intentions it may be-to turn
it into sort of political party. We
regard such course as unwise, i'm.
practicable and sure ultimately, if
persisted in, to break up the organi.
cation. And we will give our reasons
l That organization which endeavors
to investigate and discuss all matters
pertaining to farming. engages in a
wholesale trade in farm machinery,
Irvine, &C., and besides undertakes the
work of a political party, excluding all
other trades and occupations, attempts
too much. 1t is biting off more than
it can swallow.
2. While any company or ASSOCIATION
has right to combine in the purchase
or sale of any commodity whereby
expense may be saved, it is bad policy
: for one class of citizens to array Itself
against any or all other classes ii
matters where all citizens have com
mon interests and equal rights.
3. Excepting All occasional offic,
seeker, it may be, or a few
personally interested in the success o
corporate monopolies liable to b.
pecuniarly affected Ivy state legislation
the interests of all classes are identi
cal. Farmers, business men, profes
sional men, employers and employee
y are all alike interested in good govern
: ment, low taxation, &C. by organic
ing an exclusively farmers party ;
, large class who would otherwise be
intelligent, active allies, would be s1lu
out from cooperation where unite,
effort is most desirable OH the part o
, all who sincerely favor good and econ
omical government.
We wish the Farmers Alliance
q success in every effort calculated il
], any way to promote their in
!. terests, and we cheerfully offer TIN
use of the columns of the PIoNEEl
!, EXPRESS to any who have suggestion
to make for the benefit of the organi
cation whether their views agree will
ours or not.

KATIE PUTNAM.
A Fine Performance and a Large and
Well.Pleased Audience.

nGlls1 lcHSCU AUulCHCCs
Despite the counter attraction OF the
we'll attended labor meeting at Renshaw
Hall large audience again greeted the lit
tie star last night and the audience, as al
ways happens where Katie plays, went
away delighted. "Little Barefoot" was the
play presented, and though produced here
during Miss Putnam's last engagement and
on several previous occasions, it's produc-
ton last night, nevertheless, was thorough
ly enjoyed by all present.
Miss Putnam, as the Little Barefoot"
was the same winsome, vivacious, spright-
" and charming little actress she is in all
of her other characters, AS an artist she
certainly ranks among the best that now
adorns the dramatic profession. In style
she is strictly original and cannot we'll he

the Lotta style than Maggie Mitchell and
more of the Maggie Mitchell than Lolita, en-
minently combining the best qualities OF
both. She is true to nature in every word.

out with telling effect. For light comedy

pletelv loses the identity OF the actress in
| the pretty, merry little girl, whose bright
winsome vivacity and tender touches OF wo-
manly nature finds little trouble in ingra-
tiating herself into the favor OF her audi

Miss Putnam has surrounded herself with
a competent company, and last night they
presented a well balanced cast and particu-

ery. Mr.. James Devlin, MISS Fannie Mat

sayed the part OF the "Old Farmer and
gave to it a realism that madeit stand out

and his many years OF stage experience was
evidenced in his artistic rendition last
night.

Electric Burglars.

The Pinkerton men and regular police
gathered in great force abont the wholesale
Cloak house of Joseph Belfield & Co., 25O
and 252 East Madison Street, at 7:3O last
night. prepared to capture gang OF burg
lars who were supposed to be ransacking
the premises. The place had been seen to
be suddenly illuminated, but when one OF
the thief catchers scaled the building by
means of the fire escape. aud was about ef-
fecting an entrance through a window, the
lights were extinguished as suddenly as they
had been lit. The Off icer, revnluor in hond,
struck light and lit the gas jets: The
place had apparently been vacated by the
burglars, as a close search, aided by some
of fhe clerks who had been hastily sum-
moned to lend the aid OF their knowledge
of the interior, failed to reveal the suspect
ed burglar, Three men were left in charge.

resumed this morning.
The myftery was explained this morning
when an employe OF the Electric Light Com
pany called around to see if the new dyna'
mos they had been testing had injured any
of the incande. cent burners. The only Wis.
itor to the building had been stream o'
electricity, which had caused the alarming
illumination that had, OF course. ceased

She is Not q Good Talker, She Has No
Arts, But She Gives Nice Breakfasts.
The only British celebrity who doesn't
offend society nor toady to it is Mrs.
Lanptry. She combines in herself the most
discreet silence. Her little home in Twenty
third street is a most admirable mingling
of the English family circle and the Bohe-
nian symposium. Her little breakfasts
provide a charmed group, in which the pol
ished and courtly Mr.. Gilmore sometimes
breaks scholarly lance with the erudite
Mr.. Lee Lynch, and Wilson Barrett and
Charles Coghlan discuss Hamlet ana eggs
in Chesterfieldan periods. Mrs. Lang
try herself is not what you can call
vivs cious or brilliant woman. But
for all that she has a social charm pecu-
liarlv her own. I never met a man who
had heen in her company half an hour who
did not not acknowledge her charm with
out being able clearly to account Tor it.
She does not, like some professional
women, throw herself at you, so to speak.
She never gushes, and she doesn't do the
mental clinging trick so effective with the
| sslow-lidded blondes of Britain"
think her charm for men is her unaf-
fected manner and air and her wholesome
naturalness. Her demeanor, no less than
her appearance, is unpainted. You never
suspect her conversation or face
of powder. She does not build up her
sentences or her body. She doesn't over
dress her language or her person. Ihls Is

had the opportunity to study her one
morning at breakfast, and I summed her
up as a very sensible, lev"l-headed. healthy
woman, than which I cannot think of any
thing more charming.
A wellknown lady OF society not long
ago was listening to her praises in group
OF gentlemen, and she interposed the. re-
mark: "But Mrs. Langtry has no art, you

INSPECTORS REPORT

of the Movements of the Militia of the
States and Territories.
WASHINGTON, November 15.-The adju.
tant general has made public a number OF
reports from officers who were detailed to
attend and inspect the annual encamp-
ments and evolutions OF the military. In
the states of Alabama, Maine, Michigan,
New Hampshire, Minnesota. Missouri, New
York, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania.
Iowa, Illinois, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Indiana, Kansas, Connecti-
cut and the Territory of Dakota. The in
spectors were confined to the states above
enumerated for the reason that the COVER
nors of other states failed to request the
war department to detail officers to visit
the encampments in their states. While
criticisiug the details of various Organiza-
tions such lack OF uniformity III clothing,
moor attendance and disposition to shirk
euard duty and other duties of soldier
life. The reports are unanimous in pra!s-
ing the fine physical qualifications OF the
men who make up the militia, their excel
lence in drill, and tactics and the earnest,
manly efforts OF the officers to improve
their commands and to maintain the high
moral standard of discipline. General com
plants are made OF the poor quality OF
arms furnished the militia, they consist
ing in most part OF old, badly worn out
and unserviceable Springfield and Sharp'ss
rifles. Most of the organizations showed
much interest in target practice and the
| militia is especially commended forits mar
| velous skirmish firing.
The reports speak Of the crying need l., o.
thorough gh and systematic instruction. Ihe h!
material is said to be splendid and intelli'
eence is the rule but lacking in direction
II ia suggested that the War Department
detail officers to report to the governors
Of the various States to be assigned tc
duty as instructors solely, with no com
mand whatever, and if this plan should be
adopted it is thought this result would bt
OF great value. 1t is recommended ina a'
closely neighboring States accredit visitors
off;cially to state encampments, who's
dntv shall be to take notes and report OF
matters of interest to the militia.

Important Decisions.

WASHINGTON. November ia decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court in the
land case of Charles w. Buttz, executor,
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company on appeal from the Supreme
Court of Dakota. The controversy in this
case relates to the ownership of a tract of
land in Dakota, formerly occupied by the
Dakota or Sioux Indians. The appellant,
Buttx, claims it under the preemption laws.
and the railroad company under the land
grant. The court holds that Buttz could
not establish any pre.emption right to the
land so long as the Indian title remained
unextinguished because of an act of Con-
gress excluding lands in that cond tion
from pre-emption, and that as soon as the
land was freed from the incumbrance OF
Indian title the right of the railroad COM
pany attached by virtue Of it's grant. The
Judgment of the Supreme Court of Dakota
is affirmed. Opinion by Justice Field.
A decision was also rendered by the court
in the case of the steamer Harrisburg and
owners, appellant vs.. Emma S. Richards
ct al. The appeal is from the United States
Circuit court for the eastern district
Pennyslvania. This was suit brought to
recover damages for the loss of q human
sence of the employees on board the steamer
Harrisburg. The court holds:
First, that in the absence of any national
law giving the right of action to recover
damages for the death Of human being on
the high seas, suit in admiralty in the courts
of the United States cannot be maintained.
Second, that even if an action at law has
been authorized by the statute in the state
where loss of life occurred and suit in rem
can be mainland in admiralty against an
offending vesselfor damages IA point which,
however, the court does not decide in the
present CASEY was begun too late. The law
which gives a right of action in Pennsyl'
vania provides that such suit should be
brought within one year. Five years had
elapsed in this case between the time
when the accident occurred and when suit
was brought and there was no equita6leex.
cuse for the delay The decree Of the Circuit
court is reversed with costs, the case re
manded with directions to dismiss the Ii
bel. Opinion by Chief Justice Waite.

The Seabright Scandal.

LONDON, November 16.--Judgment was
rendered to-day in the action brought by
Mrs. Arthur Seabright to have her mar
riage with Seabright declared void on the
ground that she was forced into it through
fear. The marriage was declared annulled.
The Judge in rendering the decision COM
mented upon the fact that the evidence
given by the plaintiff had not been denied
by the defendant. "No man." he con-
tinued, with a particle of self.respect. it
able to deny, would have allowed such tes-
timony to 60 uncontradicted. The plain.
til had been reduced to q condition OF
mind by the defendant where she was no
longer able to resist the pressure OF his i'm
portunities to marry him, and although at
last the ceremony had been gone through
with she had not given the consent which
the law required" Seabright to-day was
adiudged bankrupt.
