SENATOR vANCE'S BILL.
Tho Proposed System of Warehouses for
Farm Produce.

Tho Proposed System of Warehouses for
Farm Produce.
The Senate committee on agriculture
and forestry recently had under consid-
Grafton Senator Vance's bill to provide
for system of warehouses for farm pro-
duce throughout the country to be oper-
ated by the Government. which is to
issue its notes upon deposits of grain
therein. Colonel Polk, president of the
National Farmers Alliance, read long
argument in support of the measure,
which he said was formulated by the
committee appointed for that purpose
by the convention of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Ali
ance, held in st. Louis December 8,
1889. He sketched the decline in agri-
cultural values in the face Of marvellous
progress and development of other in
dustries and interests during the past
two decades, and insisted that some-
thing should be done for the farmer.
He charges the fault upon the financial
system of the Government which had
resulted in high-priced money and low
priced products. The remedy Colonel
Polk suggested was threefold:
/. Restore silver to its dignity and
place as money metal, with all the
rights of coinage and all the qualities
of legal-tender which gold possesses.
9. Issue sufficient amounts of currency
direct to the people at low rate of in
terest to meet the legitimate demands
of the business of the country, and
which shall be legal-tender for all
debts, public and private.
8. Secure to such issues equal dignity
with the money metals by basing it on
real, tangible. substantial values.
Colonel Polkswas followed by DIR. G..
W. McCune, chairman Of the National
committee on legislation of the ALI
ance, who addressed himself more par
ticularly to the merits and details of the
system of warehouses as outlined in the
bill. He asserted that the merchandise
thus stored would not deteriorate below
the market standard, and that the sys.
tenn had proved feasible and practical

Tie Alliance Making q Strong Play for
Control in Alabama.
Political matters in Alabama are more
angrily stirred up now than at any pc
Rod in fifteen years. The Farmers Al
lance has become a powerful political
machine, and with a membership Of
IS, 900, including farmers Of every polit.
ical faith, it threatens to sweep the
State. The movement is led by R. +.
Kolb, State Agricultural Commissioner
and Alliance candidate for Governor.
Already four counties have been capt
ured for Kolb by the Alliance, the tick
cts being selected and agreed upon in o
meeting prior to the conventions of the
State delegations. So far elected. Kolb
is in the lead. but has only one-fourth
of the total number of delegates already
named. ..
The partisan political press OF the
State are fighting the movement, and
no man can say what the result will be.

friends in Savannah-and no means to
make the plantation remunerative, he
sold it for small sum, and dividing
the proceeds with Cornelia, devoted
himself to tracing Hugh. At last by
one of those accidents we ought to call
'providents," he discovered his broth
er's knapsack in the hut of poor man
not far from the battle field, and by
dint of rewards offered learned that the
man from whom that knapsack was
taken had crept away mortally wound
ed to the shelter of few bushes during
the fight, and had been found there by
the cracker who took possession of
his arms and his accoutrements
"But he made grave for our poor
Hugh, Marion" Alexander said, with q
trembling voice-''a grave where deco.
rations never fail. The fellow showed
me where he buried him, between two
pine trees. On one of them climbs a
Cherokee rose that drops its thick white
petals on the sod, and wild blossoms
have trailed all over the mound, till 1t
is fair as your mothers grave to-day. I
could but think when l saw it that the
God Of the brave and the loyal had not
forgotten Hugh's lonely pillow in the
wilderness"
After leaving his brothers place Of
rest, Alexander had opened his knap-
sack and found in 1t Msrion's letters
and her picture AS Hugh had said, the
twin brothers were alike in every fiber,
and Alexander's heart opened at once to
enshrine the lovely woman Hugh had
adored and left for his country.
But what had he to offer her? Before
he dared endeavor to fill his brothers
place he must have home to which he
could ask Marion; he could not honora-
bly, ask her to share his poverty, for it
was utter.
Before long, however, he found a
place in some of the new enterprises Of
the South; worked there as manfully as
he had fought, and just as soon as his
position was assured, and he could ask
an absence from the work, he came to
the North, and arriving at Alton on
Memorial Day, was directed where to
| find Marion at her mothers grave.
Her whole heart went out to him as
soon as he spoke; for to her he was
Hugh, and no other-the aspect, the
voice, the manner, even the very
thoughts he shared with her, were all
Hugh's, and the mans nobility forbade
him to feel one jealous pang when, with
out even knowing it, over and over she
gave him his brothers name.
Nor did she delay her marriage, as he
| feared might be her wish.
1--WE have been engaged so long" she
answered him, when he asked her. s'that
do not feel it is haste. Dear Sandy,
Hugh told me l should love you. if l
knew you, better than l loved him.
Perhaps shall; yet always l shall think
that Decoration Day was also Resurrec-
ton Day to me. Rose Terry Cooke, in

her life; she heard the distant music OF
the band begin to send its wailing re.
QUEEN from the church steps, where the
procession was just entering; she heard
the slow toll OF the bell that always
rung knell in Alton on Decoration
Day; she knelt by the maidstone of her
mothers resting place, and leaning her
head against it sobbed bitterly, and spoke
aloud in her reawakened sorrow, know
ing there was no ear to hear: 'Oh
Hugh! my Hugh! il l could but know
where you are lying! II l could only
see your grave, it would be help! But
you have gone out into darkness, and
the place of your sepulcher no man
knoweth unto this day. Why, why, can
not I 60, too?"
Marion" said a voice. She lifted
her quivering lids. Hugh stood before
her. With low cry she fell across her
mothers grave and lay at his feet.
She knew no more till she came back
to life on her own sofa, with Hugh
kneeling beside her and the village doc
tor dropping some pungent fluid slowly
into her lips. She looked at her dead
alive lover with anxious, asking eyes.
81 am not Hugh; l am Sandy" he
said, sadly but distinctly. Yet he was
Hugh TO her eyes and heart; every line
answered to line in the strong, fine face.
except that it was older, darker, more
worn, as it we'll might be after the stress
of war; the smile was sadder and sweeter
than ever Hugh's had been, but it was
| Hugh's voice in tone and accent.
There was long story to tell when
Marion could listen; but through it all
she felt strange and CHASTITY sense
that she was listening to tale from
another world, was following sound in
the dark
Alexander Heriot was indeed the true
image of his brother; he had been tall
and pale and delicate in his youth; but
when the war broke out, and he openly
ayowed his opposition to the course OF
the South, he was obliged for his
mothers and his life's sake to take
refuge in the mountains till he could
find way to join the army OF the
North, as he knew Hugh had done. The
outdoor life and enforced exercise re-
stored him to perfect health, and in six
months he had found the Union army,
but not Hugh; and volunteering into
the ranks, had fought we'll and bravely
till peace came; then he went back tC
his native place only to find his mother
dead, and his sister, the bride of day
widowed and alone, but bitter against
him with that intense bitterness thai
only exists between those who are kin
dred, and have been dear to each other
There too he found the report OF Hugh
as missing" and having no home-fo
his sister had gone to her husband!

is opposed to that What are we going

is opposed TO that What are we going
to do in such a case-support the AL.
lance doctrine or the party doctrine?
Here are two more planks, in our
platform:
We demand that Congress prov ide for the
issue of q sufficient amount OF fractional
paper currency to facilitate exchange
through the medium of the United States
mail
We demand that the means OF communica.
ton and transportation shall be owned by.
and operated in the interest Of the people. 10
in the United States postal system.
What will the parties do about the
matters set forth in those two demands?
There is now strong and growing
movement in favor of repeating the In
ter-State Commerce act and going back
to the pooling and discrimination sys-
tenn. And as to the fractional currency
matter, do we not see that the Money
Power now has the country by the throat?
AS to State affairs we present these
demands:
8. We demand such legislation as shall
effectually prevent the extOrtion OF usurious
provisions.
g. We demand such legislation as vii! pro.
vide for reasonable stay of execution in
all cases Of foreclosure of mortgages on real
estate, and reasonable extension lof time
before the confirmation Of sheriff's sales.
10. We demand such legislation rs will
effectually prevent the organization or main
tenance Of trusts and combines for purposes
of speculation in any of the products of la.
Dor or necessities of life, or the transporta.
ton of the same.
II. We demand the adjustment Of salaries
of public officials to correspond with exist.
ing financial conditions. the wages paid to
other forms of labor, and the prevailing
prices of the products OF labor.
II. We demand the adoption of the Aus
tralian syst EN- of voting and the Crawford
system OF primaries.
Looking back to the work Of our last
Legislature we see nothing encouraging
from party standpoint, as it relates to
matters set forth in these resolutions,
though they are of surprising impOr'
tance-they must be wrought into law
But we will not pursue the matter
further now. The point we make is
that the time is at hand when members
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union must make up their minds
whether they will go ahead. turning
neither to the right nor to the left, OF
whether they prefer to, follow the lead
of partisans who are moving in another
direction. In case of disagreement we
can not serve both. Our advice is that
we pledge anew our devotion to the
principles we have espoused and 60 for
ward, shoulder to shoulder, steadily and
faithfully to the end.-Kansas Farmer
