A Federation Of the X. OF l.. aud Farmers
Alliance Talked or.


Atlanta, Ga, Novembir 15.-The
federation of the Knight Of Labor
with the Farmers Alliuncei is q fore
gone conclusion. When Colonel l..
s. Livingston appeared before the
national convention to-day and stated
the aims and objects of the alliance
over which he presided. it was shown
conclusively that che ends for which
both orders are working are identical
and it was asserted that together
they could form an irresistible power,
and what each, singly is obliged to
struggle for unitedlY they could de-
mand and obtain.
The first two hours of the morn
ing session were devoted to the read
ing of the unfinished portion Of the
law committees report 1t was stat,
ed that several important changes in
the constitution had been suggested.
They had been received by the CON-
mittee after the time prescribed by
law for consideration of such docu-
ments and it was therefore impossi-
BILE for them to take definite action.
It was impossible to bring the sub
iect before the convention in the form
of general orders,
The visiting alliance men were
President Livingston, of the Georgia
alliance; Colonel Sledge, of Texas,
president of the National Economist,
and r. +. Gray, editor of that paper,
and Commissioner of Agriculture
Henderson. Mr.. Powderly went to
The door and escorted them to the
platform. The speeches Of Livings-
ton and Powderly were notable ones,
though the other gentlemen made
addresses. President Livingston
devoted half an hour to the discus
sion of the principles of the Alliance.
He described the condition of the
farmer in the south, how he had to
contend against great difficulties
since the war, and how he was now
laboring in the hope that he might
educate his children. The percent
age of illiteracy in the south shows
the great odds against which he had
to contend. The mortgaged condi-
ton of southern farms formed one
feature of his talk. The address
made q deep impression and was fire.
quently applauded.
Mr.. Powedrly's reply showed that
he is thoroughly in sympathy with
the federation talk and that he will
urge some plan upon both orders.
No important action WAS taken to-
day.

Burning Corn for Fuel.

HIAwLvA, Kan, Nov. 23.-Tho
farmers in this vicinity are burning
corn for fuel, finding it cheaper than
coal. Corn is sold on the farm at 20
cents per bushel while the average
price of coal delivered at the farm
ranges from 81 to % cents per bush
ell. The Farmers Alliance here
brought the attention of farmers to
the relative price of the two COM
modities and advised that half the
corn crop be used as fuel, thus ad-
vancing the price of the other half
and saving money in their fuel. The
farmers have begun to act on this ad-
vice.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON D. G. Nov. %, 1889
President Harrison now has an
opportunity to show how sincere he
was when be Endorsed the civil ser
vice law. In his hands has been
placed report of the civil service
commission showing the violation of
the law by republican officials by the
collecting of money for the Malone
campaign fund. The commissioners
say that their report is accompanied
by evidence which leaves no doubt
OF the guilt of the parties, and that
whether they shall be punished or
not lies entirely with the President.
The new Commissioner of Pen
sions is up to snuff when it comes to
getting around the Civil Service
law. Mr.. Raum has also developed
another trait peculiar to republican
officials-that of looking out for their
families. He has created new di-
vision in his Office and appointed his
son to be its chief OF salary of g.
900 year.
The Speakership contest, although
very quiet, is developing a great
deal of bad blood among the republi-
cans. Representative Cannon and
his friends are extremely bitter
against Reed, and are striving hard
to bring about a combination that
will defeat him, it grows worse as
the time approaches for the hold
ing of the caucus.
President Harrison promised a
committee Of the National conven-
ton Of Commercial bodies, which
called on him this week, that he
would consider the question Of
recommending in his annual message
the adoption of national bankrupt
law.
Between the candidates for spea-
ker and the candidates for the small
er offices under the House, the re-
publican Representatives are having
a hard time, and it is not to be won
dered at that they are slow in turn
ing up.
Mr.. Carlisle will receive the demo-
cratic nomination for speaker of the
House. No other man has ever
been thought Of in this connection.

A Short Letter TO my Parents,
NUMBER /.


MY DEAR PARRsTs:-The public
schools arc now in full blast. They
are stronger now than they will be at
any other time. These schools are
here TO stay. They arc yearly grow
ing in interest. The last dark spot
OF prejudice will soon be erased by
the sunshine of intellectual growth.
They are tho educators theme, the
church's handmade, the Nations pct.
Don't frown. They are Godgiven
blessings to this Nation. They dout
cost you but littlc--just little time.
They are tho main source from which
will flow the intellectual and moral
culture OF this Nation. They are
going to be food and shelter for
Democratic principles. They are, in
reality, the only hope for educating
the great mass Of American children.
make these remarks to strength
en- you and better prepare you for
the few suggestions I may make.
The first is few suggestions
about too much trusting. Some one
has said the parents trust more to
the teacher than they would to an
angel; and really, they do, with this
difference: most Of tho the mothers,
especially, would be wanting to ad-
wise the angel, and dictate plans,
while they don't as much as offer a
helping hand to the teacher. They
seem to think the teacher infallible--
omnipotent.
Father, mother, you have q duty
in this work of educating-a duty in
conjunction with your teacher. You
are the parents of these children,
with obligations to them ten thous-
and times stronger than any teacher
could have. We must secure your
cooperation if We succeed in this
great work. No man or woman can
be a successful teacher when you lay
upon them all the burden. Their sue
cess depends upon your help. Raise
your eyes above dollars and cents
once in your lifetime, and look down
the open path of the great future.
See! o, see once, the life, the pleas
ure, the influence, the relations of
your child. Then walk up and offer
your little gift on the altar Of these
tired men and women-help help
them and benefit your offspring. If
you expect your teacher to make
eighty-one children ten times better
than you have ever been able to make
three, you must help. If you expect
him to take boy or girl that you
have let run wild and unrestrained
for fifteen years and transform them
into an angel In a few days,you must
help by that prayer of faith that will
remove mountains, because such q
result is nothing less than n miracle.
If you look with anxious eyes-but
this letter will get too long. Will
write you again. Your son, j.

An Old Story.

SAX ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 23.--The
grand jury of the Thirty-seventh dis,
trict handed in its report to-day.
They had considerable to say con-
corning the rountry roads, which are
not in the best condition, and men-
toned the fact that gambling houses
and houses Of prostitution are run
ming in open defiance Of the law.
They ascribe this not to lack of de-
sire on the part of the officials to do
their duty, but to lax public senti-
ment, which does not support nor in
dorse any vigorous measure to break
them up. The cookery and food in
the county Jail were found to be good
but the bedding insufficient.

Probably the most singular failure
in the commercial history of Texas
was that Of Joseph III. Brown, of
Fort Worth. He was one of the
largest grocery dealers in Texas, and
it is said has frequently carried with
out trouble or embarrassment an in
debtedness of 100000. Yet on the
1st instant, with liabilities aggregat-
ing only $4,000 and with assets
fairly worth 100000, including
S275,O00 of notes, claims and &C.
counts, he transferred his property
and business to Mr.. Tidballas trus-
tee for the benefit of his creditors.
AS far as can be learned he WAS meet
ing his obligations easily as they
matured, and no creditor was threat
ming to push him; and the only reas-
on that anyone pretends to give for
his singular course is that he is in
very bad health and wants to retire
from business, go to Europe and take
a rest.-Houston Post.

like. and the dominion cannot prevent
their doing so. Conditions and re-
straints might be imposed upon the
Mormons if they purchased their lands
from the government, but they are

Senator Sab5u Lyants Divorce

ROCHESTER,, June 10.-haS become
publicly known here that ex-senator
D. NJ. Sabin has taken the initial steps
in m attempt to obtain divorce from
his wife, and the summons was served
personally upon Mrs. Sabin at Flush
ing, Long Island, something over a
week ago. eIIe asserts that Mrs. Sabin
is addicted to the liquor and morphine
habit-and has been for many years,
although in Saltwater and Washing
ton, where she has been most generally
known and admired, it is very doubtful
if the faults with which she is charged
ever became apparent even to her most
intimate friends. While in Washing
ton she gave weekly receptions which
were among the most popular given by
any lady in that city, and were attended
by the most distinguished people. Mrs.
Sabin was placed, at her own request,
in an asylum for inebriates st Flush
ing, Long Island, and, it is stated by
friends, is in utter ignorance of the
stories that are going the rounds in
the West What course Mrs. Sabin
will pursue is not yet known.

and fell 80 feet down the shaft, killing
him instantly. Deceased was about
twenty years old and unmarried.
