Mr. r. II. Jacks)n's resignation of the
presidency of the Farmers Alliance of this
state continues to be tue subject of a great
deal os comment. The promptness with
which his resignation was accepted indicates
either that he was not in accord with the
Alliance in some very important respects
or that his course as it's chief officer was not
wholly satisfactory. Articles which have
appeared in the Southern alliance, the
organ OF the Farmers Alliance, leave the
impression that Mr.. jackson wanted one
policy adopted for the management Of the
exchange. which the Alliance proposes to
tee favored another 1t is indirectly
asserted that Mr.. Jackson wanted TO be the
manager Of the exchange.
Another story is that Mr. Jackson has
an ambition TO be governor Of the state, and
was eadeavoring to use the Alliance
as a political machine Nothing has
appeared in the public prints to justify this
story, and it may have no foundation. The
| Alliance has authorized no statement to be
made Of the cause Of Mr. Jackson's resigna-
ton. and Mr. jackson does not appear to
have given any explanation OF MS action.
MIR, jackson, as president of the Ali
ance, was very active in its behalf and did
great deal toward building it up. If he
intended 70 make 1T stepping stone 10 tho
goy srnorship he was not indiscreet enough
10 make his intention known. The gov
ernorshlp IS worthy the ambition of any
man, but it is questionable whether il
would be to tbs advantage Of the Alliance
for its president 70 seek it. The members Of
the Alliance, while they may agree upon
the questions which Immediately conCern
their organization, may differ widely upon
political questions. If, therefore, the presi-
dent of the Alliance should seek the COVER
norship, and should use his position to get
the Alliances support, the chances are that
damaging discussions would appear in that
organization. IL Mr. jackson sought to
drag the Alliance into politics for his own
| selfish purposes, his resignation will not be
generally regretted by its members.
Hon. L. F. Livingston, of Covington, is
the vice president of the Alliance, and the
acting president. 1t is too soon to say,
with any degree of certainty whether or
not he will be chosen to succeed Mr. Jack
son. 1t is understood that he has guberna-
| torial aspirations If he has it will be we'll
probably, for the Alliance 10 take a sober
| second thought before making him It's
president. However well fitted he may he
! for that position, it will be about impossi-
BILE for him to discharge the duties of it,
with the sole object Of promoting the inter
! ests of the Alliance, if be is disturbed
by the gubernatorial bee. Unless the ALI
ance is going into politics, and intends, if
possible, to name the next governor, it
would make a very grave mistake il it
selected for its president a man who has
political aspirations. The purpose of the
Alliance, if we understand it, is to promote
the welfare of the farmers, not to make
congressman and goYernors

Two Boston Merchants.

From the Boston Saturday EUening Gazette.
When James Andrews received his SON. who
mad graduated from Harvard college and the
law school, into the firm, his advertisement read
something like this: with the commercial
knowledge of the senior partner, and the legal
talent of the junior partner, merchants will
realize the advantages of consigning goods to
this firm" TIE second illustration is this: Old
John Tyler, the auctioneer, of whom | shall
have much to say in the future, was one day
selling vessel at auction, aud Andrews was
one of the chief bidders. Tyler was annoyed by
the latter's constant interruptions "Coppered
and copper fastened were the guarantees of
well-bult snip Tyler had iterated and reiter-
ated these facts, when andrews broke in with
the inquiry: Mr.. Tyler is she thoroughly cop
per fastened:"
This aroused the ire of old John, never, at the
best, peaceaby disposed man, and ne roared
out, standing up in his chaise: See here An
drewS, if any man should ask me if you we're a
gentleman. l should say yes If any man
should ask me if you were q merchant, should

The Nicaragua canal BILL with the
changes which the conference committee
have made in it. is much more acce ptable
to the Nicaragua Canal Company than it
was in the shape in which it passed the
House. The promoters wanted the bill ex-
actly as it passed the Senate, but the House
would not consent to a bill of that kind,
and it may refuse to confirm tbs report of
the conference committee However, as
the conference report is a unanimous one,
the probability is that it will oe agreed TO
by both the House and the Senate.
The House insisted that all stock should
be paid for in cash. The conference COM
mittee agreed to report that stock may be
issued 10 the amount of the Just value Of
the company's estate, property aud rights,
for work and labor done, aud for material
used in constructing the canal. This st ok
is to be regarded as paid up stock, aud is
not liable TO be assessed. IL is evident that
great deal of stock can be issued under q
charter of this sort without complying
strictly with its provisions How will it be
possible to find out for what any share of
stock is issued after it has been placed upon
the marketl
Another thing upon which the House
insisted, and from which the House con-
ferees have receded, is that which relates to
the liability of the United States for the
obligations of the canal company. The
House provided that each certificate Of
stock and each bond should have printed
upon its face that the United States was
not liable for any Of the canal companv's
securities. The conferees agreed that while
IL shall be stated in the charter that the
United States assumes no responsibility for
the canal companys bonds and stock, that
fact need not ba printed on those securities.
The House conferees also receded from the
House am ndment giving the United States
the right to regulate the canal tolls for
citizens of the United States
There are several other things to which
the conferees agreed, but those men,
toned are the ones IN which the public is
mainly interested The canal company,
while it has not got just what it wants,
will doubtless accept the bill if it is passed
substantially as it is reported by the con-
ference committee. 1t is believed that it
will not be difficult to get all the money the
canal company needs, and that the canal
can be constructed sooner than the Panama
canal can be finished, even IL dc Lesseps
should succeed in getting money with
which TO continue work on his under

DAN VOORHEES, BEEFsTRAK
John z. Lamb Got His Start in Life by
Going Security for II.

GO4NR security 1Cf IL.
From he Nelo York Sun.
INDIANAPoLis, Feb. 2-John E. Lamb is one
of the best known men in Indiana among the
lawyers politicians and newspaper men, and
he is scarcely less known at Washington, where
his place as counsel for various corporations in
terested in the work tf congress keeDs him
muca of the time He is still this side of middle
age. big. hearty. whOle-Souled sort of man
who owes most of his success to his ability to
make friends and keep them. He got his first
start, however, by going security for beefsteak
that Dan VOORHEES, wanted for his family S
breakfast.
1t was fifteen years or SO ago, when Voorhees,
had already spent ten years in congress and
was one of the formost democrats iu the state
He lived in Terra Haute, and in spite of his
fame as politician he frequently had difficulty
about supplying his family harder Voorhees, is
not good financial man. and at that time he
was so poor that his credit among the local
tradesmeu was way below par. One day he went
into butcher shop and ordered a beefsteak.
The proprietor declined to let him have it until
IL was paid Tor. Voorhees, was indignant, but
helpless He hadn't the money, and that was
ali there was about it. AS he turned to go out
OF the shop the butchers young assistant. who
bad heard him protesting against the decree of
NO cash, no steak =" exclaimed:
oh, dammit; let the man have the steak; I'll
be responsible for it."
The butcher laughed and handed over the
steak. few days afterward Congressman
VOORHEES,, m eetng the butchers boy on the
street, stopped him and thanked him in his
usual dgnfed and oratoricaI way for the
favor he had done him in the matter of the
steak. He asked the young man his name
which was John e. Lamb, and, finding him a
bright chap finally said
How would you like to be q lawyer?"
First rate, replied the butcher boy, whose
experience up to that time had been only with
hogs and beef and the arrangement was made
upon the spot that young Lamb should come
to study law in Voorhees, Office. He had been
a student but a comparatively short time when
attorney, and as the county was overwhelm-
ingly democratic he was elected Almost the
first case that came up murder trial that
made great sensation all through the state
OF course Lamb couldn't handle it alone but
voorhees, helped him out and the young law
yer became famous. After that he got along
rapidly, politically, and at the bar, but it all
came from his saying:
Dammit. let the man have the steak"
