The Farmers Alliance has a

The Farmers Alliance has very
strong organization in Iowa and takes
quite an interest in politics. 1t is
said the organization can control 30
900 votes, and that 1t means to make
its demands heard in the coming
campaign. Convention of the Ninth
Congressional District was held at
Atlantic yesterday which was fairly
well attended. Resolutions were adopt
ed favoring free coinage of silver
and the issuing of United States notes
in lieu of national bank notes; de-
handing railroad transportation, tele-
graph and telephone service at actual
cost, the Government to own and
operate the same; demanding the
adoption of an absolutely secret yot-
ing system, the passage of laws pro
hibiting alien ownership of land and
investments in mortgages on real es-
tate, and declaring that, in order to
carry out the above objects, they
would support for Office such men as
can be depended upon to enact those
principles with statute laws uninfu-
enced by party caucuses. The mem.
bers stated that they would support
for Congress the candidate who will
pledge himself to support the prin-
ciples embodied in the resolution. If
neither candidate will do this the AL
lance will put a candidate in the
field. 1t is expected other conventions
will be held.

The passage of the Sherman silyer
bullion bin by the Senate leaves the
country no hope of immediate relief
from the pressure of contraction
which bears so heavily on the West.
The bin as it has passed the Senate
emhodies the bargain through which
the silver mine owners were induced
to desert to Wall street. 1t is called
conference measure and is supposed
to be the result of compromise be-
tween House and Senate, but it has
in it characteristic indications Of the
shrewdness through which Mr.. John
Sherman succeeded once before in
demonetizing silver.
The practical effects of the measure
is demonetizing The bill is a meas
ure for the purchase of bullion. 1t
gives the mine owners market for
their output considered as commod-
ity, The final cessation of silver COIN
age is provided for in the clause
which gives the Secretary of the
Treasury the option Of redeeming in
gold the treasury notes issued to the
bullion owners as receipts for value
of bullion deposited.
Under the bill as it has passed the
Senate, the Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized to- purchase monthly
4,5OO,O00 ounces or, silver, at the
market price, as determined by him
self, but not to exceed 81 for 361.25
grains Of. pure silver.
He is to pay for this in treasury
notes of not less than 81 nor more
than 81 900 in denomination.
Such notes are to be legal tender,
a reserve fol, national banks, and are
to be redeemed in gold or silver at
the discretion of the Secretary.
Until July l next 100000 silver
dollars month are to be coined, and
after that date only 50 many as are
required to redeem bullion notes pre-
scented.

B0UNTIEs ron KEGuLARs.

Senator Henderson has introduced bill
the object Of which is TO give long-delerred
justice TO very deserving class Of our COM
rades, namely, the Regular Army soldiers
who served with such fidelity through the
bloody war of the rebellion, and were not
recipients Of the DOunties and other allow
anccs given their brethren in the volunteer
service. The bill provides that there shall
be given TO each and every man who enlist
ed in the Regular Army Oh or before the
10Th day Of April, 1861, served faithfully
and was honorably discharged, $40 month
bounty for the time he served between said
10Th day Of April. 1861, and the 9th of May,
1865. IN case Of the death Of such soldier
the payment shall be made to his widow
If she has not remarked, or ia ease she has
remarked, TO his minor child or children
1t shall not be lawful for any soldier tc
transfer his discharge or other papers euti.
Ting him 10 those allowances to any person
Where his discharge has been lost he shat
be allowed TO make other proof of his Sc
ice. This bill should certainly pass.

WORK OF THE PENSION OFFICE.

During the week ending March -, 1890, 8 22S
claims were received, of which !. Isl were Origi-
nal invalid. COL widows, war of 1872 Il
bounty land, % navy, old war. 40 on ac-
count Of Mexican service, and 1910 applica-
tiOns for increase. Number of rejected
claims reOpened. $50. The names and pOst0ffies
addresses of 7,I63 officers and comrades were
furnished for the use Of claimants. There
were q ,t29 pieces of mail matter received
%. 75l letters and blanks sent out.
The number Of eases detailed 20 Special Ex-
aminers was 500; Go reports and cases from
Special Examiners; cases on hand for special
examination, 1l,lSl.
There were 3,62s certificates issued during
the week.
One of the hardest working Divisions in the
Pension Office is that of the Certificate, and to
Capt. Kelley, its efficient Chief much credit S
due for the prompt manner IN which the work
is accomplished. He has at present between
90 aud 100 clerks under him. and expects soon
to move his Division into more cOmmOdiOus
quarters, 50 as to enable him 60 take on more
clerks.
Since Commissioner Raum has taken charge
of the Office several innovations have been in
trOduced. One of these. which is Of peculiar
benefit to the claimants, is the calling up of
cases. When a claim is filed with insufficient
evidence the claimant IS called upon for ad-
ditiOnal proof The ease IS then sent back 70
the files. and after certain time has elapsed
the office sends another notice to the claimant
that more evidence is needed. In this way
cases instead of lying for year OF two in tho
Office are being constantly brought up. and
many are allowed that otherwise would not

IT is believed that the Committee on
Ways and Means will report in favor Of "A
duty of cents q dozen on eggs. That is
night. We brought into the country last
year 15yGI2,s6l dozen eggs, valued at
s., 3I2.478 AT an average price of 60 cents
a bushel it took ., 1854, 100 bushels Of wheat
to pay for them. As there il much more
profit in raising eggs than wheat, let us pro-
duce our own eggs and cut our wheat pro-
ducton down that much. This will also give
employment to large force of men to pack
and ship them. II is said that in many
parts of the West eggs are selling as low as
and 5 cents dozen, while from the above
reported custom house valuation it will be
seen that the average price at our seaports
was about Is cents dozen. As importa-
tions are VIGOROUSLY underyalued, the price
was probably much higher At all events,
it will pay us much better to raise four
dozen eggs than one bushel Of wheat and
We should do it.

very heavy, but owing to the wounding Of the
field officers, was not officially stated. 1t was
the second regiment to cross the Rappahan-
mock at Fredericksburg, which it did with 300
men. In the battle which followed it lost II

color.bearers were killed or wounded. At

Hancock the privilege of leading his
regiment to the point for which Pick
etts column was aiming. The privilege
was granted, and tho 10Th threw itself into
the very vortex of the mad struggle. 1t lost
half of the little band of 100 who rushed after
its colors but it brought out of the fight the
battlefags of the 1ith 10Th, SD and 57th Va.
and large number of prisoners. 1t crossed
the Rapidan into the Wilderness with 211
men, aud became sharply engaged on the 9Th
of May. Its fighting was almost continuous
until the lines were established in front Of
Petersburg. Then it had intervals of rest be-
tween its engagements, but was nearly always
on the front line, and did its full share in the
final and victorious assault. Altogether, it had
1915 men on its rolls Of whom 10i were killed
on the field and 100 more died Of wounds and
disease.

The 18th Ohio had an enviable record both
for gallautry and length OF service. Four days
after the attack on Sumter, 1O0men. commanded
by Capt. phi \. Stafford left GAINESVILLE for
Columbus. This was the nucleus for the FCgi-
ment raised for the three months services. It
was reorganized ut Camp Deuuisou Tor three
years, and assigned to Baird's Division, Of the
Fourteenth Corps. Its Colonels were John VI.
COunell and DurbIu Ward, both of them soldiers
in every sense. The regiment particularly dis
tingui5hed itself and suffered heavy losses at
Stone River. H0Oyer'S Gap and ChiCkamauga,
its casualties at the last place being 200 Its
total losses We're 80 killed aud died of wounds,
aud i55 died OF disease. IL was finally mustered
out July Is. 1S65. having again been re0rgauized
at the end of its threeyears service. The
history here presented must be Of great value
to the survivors of the regiment. JIG contains
. complete record OF events from the time it
assembled ut Camp Deunis0u until it disbanded
at Camp Chase; a roster with data concerning
every man who belonged 20 the organization;
lists of those killed aud those dying Of wounds
or disease, with dates, places and where buried;

THE feeling in political and financial
circles is that the National Banks will have
10 90 after the last bonds mature in 1907.
All the schemes suggested for basing their
circulation on bonds of railroads which have
regularly paid an interest for 90 years,
and on bonds of States which have never
defaulted, are decided as impracticable
since these would put the Government in
the position Of indorsing the roads or the
States, which cannot be tolerated, especially
since the Supreme Court has decided in the
Virginia case that the Government cannot
compel State TO pay its debts. The loss of
the National Bank currency--so elastic and
readily expansible according to the needs of
business-will be felt severely, but the people
will not, and should not consent TO the CON
tnuance of the National debt merely for the
purpose of providing the basis for the
National Bank notes.

FRIENDS Of silver, all try the experiment
Of asking for silver dollars in daily bust
ness. The silver dollar il a very pretty,
handy coin; it looks like real money, is real
money, and is more convenient to pay out
and receive in small amounts than 81 bills.
If everybody will agree to ask for them in
daily transactions the whole of the $780,
00O, 900 now stored away in the Government
vaults will soon be circulating among our
people, and long step will be taken toward
solving the silver problem.

FREE TRADERS are trying to make CAPT
Gal out OF the report by the Illinois Board Of
Agriculture that the corn crop of that State
Is worth about $4,000, 600 less than the cost
OF raising it, We cannot see what there is
in this to comfort Free Traders. If the
Illinois Boards figures are right, then COM
nonsense people viii say that the farmers
lose money Oh their corn because they have
to send it so far TO find a market, paying
enormously for 1000 miles Of transportation
20 Europe, where they have TO take the
prices at which starving Russian peasants
and Hindu ryots are willing 10 sell theirs.
The first step forward remedying this con-
dition Of things is TO develop home manu-
features, which viii provide markets near
by and save the immense sums the farmers
now pay the railroads, elevators, middlemen
and steamships between Illinois and Liver
pool. The next step is TO raise less corn
and more Of the agricultural products which
other countries find it profitable to raise
for market in this country. For example
we imported last year 15,6I2, sol dozen eggs
OF about 90 dozen for every farm there is
IN Illinois. The value Of these reported at
the Customhouses was S2.312, f7s, which, i
