fancy. After a successful career as mer-

souri, regiment in the Union army and was

The Silver Bill.

The conference silver bill has passed
both houses of congress. This bill is
an excellent one and will furnish all
necessary relief so far as can be done
by the coming of silver. 1t will an
swer all demands of the country.
During the next twelve months it will
increase the general circulation about
s14O, ,OO0, 900.
1t was not at all surprising that the
democrats should vote solidiy against
the measure. During the six years
preceding this congress while the dem
ocrats had majority in the two houses
they never attempted to pass a silver
bill or any other bill increasing the
circulation. In fact, following in the
footsteps of Mr.. Cleveland's special
message to congres in 1885 they op-
posed any legislation whatever relating
to silver. Now when they thought
they could force the republicans into a
free silver position they pretended tC
be great friends of silver and very anx
ious to increase the money circulation
of the country. But because this pres
ent bill was republican measure
these political hypocrites voted sOlidly
against giving the people an increase
in circulation of 100000 during
the next year. The farmers who wan
more money can easily judge who art
their friends and who their enemies
This action demonstrates clearly al
has been demonstrated a thousanC
times before, that the only true Friends
of the farmer and all other laborinl
men are found in the republican party

THE BEHRING SEA.
Report That the United States Has RecedeC
From Its Position.

Report That the United States Has Receded
From Its Position.
LONDON, July 1.-THE comments of
the American press on the attitude of
Great Britain in regard to the Behring
sea controversy are exciting much in
terest in England. Whatever may
be said in Washington, there is ex-
cellent authority in London for
stating that the British Government
did determine, and formally notified the
American Government of it's determina-
ton, that the proceedings which charac-
terized the seal fishery season of 1889
would not be tolerated this year. 1t is
true that no threats were made, but the
significance of the language used could
not be misunderstood.
England recognizes no analogy be-
tween the Canadian claim to exclusive
fishing rights in Canadian waters and
the assertion of exclusive title by
America to Behring sea- The selection
of Rear Admiral Holtham to command
the British squadron in the North Pa
cif1c squadron was made with a view to
the possible gravity of the situation,
and his flagship, the Warsprite, is one
of the finest vessels in the navy.
It Is now stated that the United States
Government has practically yielded to
British representations and that, pend
ing the decision of the Behring sea
question, there will be no very serious
enforcement of American claims; that
the Canadian sealers which do not poach
en- recognized American preserves will
not be pounced upon simply because
they are in the disputed limits This
will avert any cause for interference by
the feet of Great Britain.

In thorough accord with the policies
and views of the national farmers
alliance" while the southern alliance
is almost purely political machine.
The national farmers ALTAR CO. acts
upon the more commonsei.Sc view
that if it can control the nominations
and elections in the old political parties
it is far wiser to do so than to try to
found third political party without
position or influence. Hence the
northern alliance favers making all its
contests within the old party lines, be-
ginning their reforms at the primaries
and carrying them clear through to the
general election. The nominal pur-
poses of these two organizations are
the same, but their methods are widely
different and all must admit the chances
of success are altogether with the
northern alliance.

NEW SILVER NOTES.
DcsCrip'i ion Of ihP New Money We VIII

DcsCrip' ion Of iilP Sew Money We VIII
Soon Get.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The President
and Secretary Window have approved
the designs of the new treasury notes
provided for the new Silver bill, which
were recently prepared at the bureau OF
engraving and printing in anticipation
of the passage of the bill. These notes
will be of eight different denOmina-
tionS, as follows: One dollar, two dol
lar five dollar, ten dollar, twenty dol
lar, fifty dollar, one hundred dollar and
one thousand dollar. While each note
has distinctive design outside of its
value designation, they all resemble in
form and general characteristics the
present legal tender note. They will
all he printed in black on the face and
green on the back.
A now feature of the notes. intended
to prevent raising or alteration, is the
printing of their value in big, black let
ters across the back. This will be done
in the case of the ones, twos, f1ves, tens,
twenties and fifties. Black figures will
be used in case of the 500 and the 81, 900
notes, as the width of the note will not
admit of the use of letters of the de-
sired size. They will say on their face
that they are redeemable in coin and on
their backs that they are legal tender
for all debts, public and private. Por-
traits will be displayed on the different
notes, so far as selected, as follows: Ex-
Secretary Stanton on the 81, General
Thomas on the s., General Sherman on
the $40, Admiral Farragut on the 500
and General Meade on the 81, 600. The
vignettes for the 81, $50 and $50 notes
have not yet been decided upon.

The Two Alliances.

1t is very unfortunate for the farm
ers of this state that the Kansas ALI
ances should have attached themselves
to the southern instead of the north
ern alliance. THE farmers alliance"
is distinctively southern organization
and it is controlled and directed al
most entirely by southern men. Kan
sas and Indiana are the only northern
states which belong to this southern or
farmers alliance" Its officers are
as follows: President, l.. l.. Polk,
North Carolina; vice president, i. II.
Glover, Kansas; secretary, J. H.
Turner, Georgia; treasurer, J. H.
Hickman, Missouri; lecturer, b. Ter
rell, Texas.
Organizations of men are largely
moulded aud shaped by their leaders.
There is no dispute but the farmers
alliance to which the Kansas alliances
have attached themselves is in the
hands of southern leaders. This Or
ganization has an elaborate and rigid
form of government. While purport-
ing to admit to its membership all
farmers, the color line is strictly
drawn in the southern states, and
there are no cOlored farmers allowed IN
the farmers alliance" south of Mason
and Dixon's line. 1t is optional with
Kansas alliances whether they admit
colored farmers or not. The general
management of the order is vested in a
supreme council and an executive
council, both of which are presided
over by the same president. No
colored man is eligible to seat in the
supreme council. There is no appeal
from the decisions of this supreme
council. Their edict is law. The
southern organization is political
organization. 1t has its official organs
and partisan newspapers. 1t is a
secret organization with all the para
phernalia required to conduct pri-
maries, hold conventions, nominate
candidates and conduct campaigns.
On the other hand the national
farmers alliance" is northern insti-
tuition. 1t has no such an iron clad
form of government as the southern al
lance. 1t depends for bond of cOhe
sion, not i'll the rigid laws or rules, but
on common attachment of the princi
pies set forth in its constitution. 1t Il
not a secret organization, there being
no secret work in connection with any
of its meetings. All its work is open
to the sunlight of heaven. 1t has nc
party newspapers or official organs. II
encourages full and free discussion Of
its politics and views by the papers OF
all parties. 1t is not subject to the
whim of any supreme council or any
set of men. but shapes and announces
its policy through its national conven-
tions. 1t brings its influence to bear
upon all the caucuses, conventions and
candidates of all political parties. In
Iowa, Nebraska, the Dak0tas, Wis
consin and other northern states they

great deal of exaggeration

the crop in this State. There
were only a few localities where
the drought had hurt corn much. Those
were so limited that feel justified in
saying that the rain has made the corn
of the whole State. My best informa-
ton is that the downfall covered the
greater part of the State, and that IL
was heaviest in the sections needing 1t
worst the southern and northeastern
portions. 1t is true that few more
days of the drought would have killed
the greater portion of the crop, but
