English Capitalists.

NEW YORK, Dec. ct is under
stood that English capitalists intend
forming n company next year, with
a capital OF 500, 900, 900. One aim,
and the chief one, is to prevent
credit for new American railway
projects after carefully investigating
their reliability. 1t will, in fact,
assume the relations TO new enter
prises just as a conservative life in
Surance company assumes relations
to a man seeking insurance. The
company has been technically
shown rs financering company
acting along lines long recognized in
the English financial world. 1t will
he an insurance company. Its
risks will lie railway mortgages. 1t
will be n guarantee company; will
endorse railway credit. II is esti-
mated the backing Of 100000, 900 of
ssfo " invested capital will be sufii-
cient to warrant the financiering
company's underwriting or insur-
ing interest payments on bonded
Indebtedness TO many times that
tremendous sum. Some idea Of
how influential so much cOncen-
trated capital may be can lie had
from consideration OF the fact that
the combined capital Of all the great
New York trust companies approx
mate only about 81, 200, 900, or n
quarter Of the capitalization Of this
new corporation.

A SWindIcr.

BLOoMINGToS, Dec. 6. -Investi-
CATION into the affairs Of II. w.
Fursman, who ran away from Pom
tiac two weeks ago, shows that the
total Of his stealings and swindlings
viii be almost II not quite $3.50, 900.
His stealings were accomplished by
all manner Of forgery, including
false records, false titles, etc. The
finn Of Hudson, Burr & Co., tof
Bloomington, is interested in the
swindle to the extent Of 500, 900,
placed through him as their agent.
For a part Of this at least the firm
would be liable. The liability would
be different in each separate case.
Hudson, Burr * Co. have offered a
reward Of $1,000 for Fursman's cap
ture. Not word Of tidings regard
ing the absconder has been heard so
far.

WHAT TIE ENGLISH PRESS SAYS.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The papers
have comments on jefferson Davis.
The 50. James Gazette doubts whether
Davis " III take a historical position
rs one of the worlds great men. 1t
draws striking comparison between
Davis and some Of his famous con-
temporaries, and especially COM
pares with Lincoln's unique per-
sonality and deeply cherished menu
ory the absence Of enthusiasm for
Davis.
The Ners says the splendid Glenn
ency of a great popular government
has been justified by results. Davis
passing his old age in peace has
stood as an evidence of the absolute
security Of the federal system.
The Times says stripped Of
rhetorical trappings, Davis policy
was n superb game Of brag. His
cardinal vice was failure. His later
carver was hardly worthy Of him,
while he was q conspicuous eN-
ample Of clemency, he seldom had a
good word for the North.o
The Standard says: Davis nat
ural reserve was little illumined by
sympathy or humor, hence, while
he must occupy prominent place
in history, he will not lie accorded
the affection that friend and foe
alike have bestowed on Lincoln,
Lee, Jackson and Grant"

FARMERS CONVENTION.
A Long Series Of Important RcsoIu.
lions introduced.


81. Louis. Dec. 6.-This morning
Powderly, Wright and Beaumont,
representing the knights Of Labor,
/ met the demands Ct the committee
Of the Farmers and Laborers'
L Mon and a federation was agreed
upon. 1t was agreed that the farm
ers should appoint legislative
committee Of two TO act in cOnjunc-
ton with legislative committee Of
the knights at Washington to sec
ure legislation in accordance with
the views Of both bodies. The Of
ficers OF the two organizations will
form a central council. Various
farmers bodies have agreed upon a
plan Of consolidation which will, rs
soon as the necessary reference can
be had 10 the various State organ
iZatiOns, result in bringing about an
absolute union. Ii is probable in
time the knights will also join the
farmers in actual union.
The National Farmers Alliance
adopted long series Of resolutions,
favOring woman suffrage; reserva-
ton Of public land for actual set
tiers; against the acquisition Of
lands by aliens; for rigid enforce
ment Of the law against railroad
corporations not complying with
their contracts as to the
DISPOSITION OF LANDS;
calling for the free coinage Of gold
and silver; favoring the payment Of
the public debt as rapidly as posi-
BILE reiterating the argument
against the national bank system,
and in favor Of the gresnbaek doc
trine; taxes on real estate mortgages
and an income tax demanded; the
liquor traffic opposed in all forms;
deep harbOr ON the Gulf coast en-
dersed; recommending Congress To
compel Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads to pay their debts,
and Directing to any further extern
sion Of tifiie; the Australian system
Of voting enthusiastically endorsed.
The resolution on the tariff is as
follows:
ResoLred, That we favor such re-
vision and reduction Of the tariff |
that taxes may rest as lightly as
possible upon productive labor, and |
that its burden may be imposed up
on the luxuries and removed from |
the necesSaries Of life, and in a man
ner which will prevent n continued
accumulation in the United States
Treasury Of q surplus.
THE PROCEEDINGS
Of the day session Of the Farmers'
and LabOrers' Union and the |
Northern Alliance was devoted al |
most exclusively to n discussion Of |
the amalgamatiOn and a revision Of |
the constitution. Many conferences
were held between committees of |
the Union and the Northern Alli-
ance with representatives Of the
knights Of Labor. The result is n |
confederation Of the Farmers and |
Laborers' Union with the knights |
Of Labor, and will be union of |
the northern and southern bodies Of
farmers. The following officers |
were elected: President, Il. l..
Polk of North Carolina; vice-FTesi-
dent, ID. II. Clover Of Kansas; secre-
taTy, J. II. Turner Of Georgia; trea-
surer, William Aickman Of Georgia;
national lecturer, F. +. Benjamin OF !
Terrell, Texas.
