The New Alliance Plan.
Negotiations are currently re
ported to be pending to perfect ar
engagements between the cotto,
committee of the National Farmers
Alliance and a syndicate Of Euro
pean capitalists to advance S32 pc,
bale upon 1000, 900 bales of cotton
at a yearly interest of 4 per cent
Farmers will be allowed to store
their cotton, and, on the warehouse
receipts, the advance arranged for
will be made; while the farmer will
have the privilege of selling the
cotton at any time during the twelve
months. Prominent cotton men
think that the withdrawal of this
amount of cotton from the market
will tend to advance the price of
the staple to within twelve or thir-
Teen cents per pound.
1t is understood, though not
definitly known, that meeting of
the different alliances is to be called
at an early day to take action rela-
tive to the negotiations now pend
ing. We trust that this scheme
will be made public and its like
lihood determined without delav.
The attention of our readers Is
called to the similarity of the I
scheme to thatof the proposed sub
treasury plan. But we desire to

The officials OF the general land
ONCE have finally decided that the restric-
ton in the sundry civil bill, limiting to 80
acres the quantity Of land which one per
son may acquire under the land laws Of
the United States, includes mineral as
well as agricultural lands To-day the
chief of the mineral division Of the general
land office formulated a proviso or stipu-
lation. which has been approved by the
commissioner Of the general land office,
and which will hereafter be inserted ia all
patents To lode, placer or coal claims en-
tered subsequent to the SOth day OF August,
1880, and located west OF the Tooth meri-
dan. This stipulation reads as follows;
And there Is reserved from the lands
hereby granted right of way thereon for
bitches or canals constructed by the au-
thority of the United States"
This brings all mineral claims within the
act of August 30. Whether or not this de
cision Of the general land Office will be
allowed 10 stand remains to be seen Sen
ator Teller and others Interested in the
measure declare that Congress had no
thought of including mineral lands within
the $50 acre Limitation,
This being the case, the attorney general
will very likely be called upon for an
opinion, and in the event that he sustains
the views OF the commissioner OF the gen
eral land office, bill curing the defect
will no doubt be speedily introduced and
pressed to a final passage. II is possible,
however, that the commissioner may yet
be persuaded to change his views upon the
subject before the time Of the mex, is
sue ofpatents, on August Il. As the mat
ter now stands, the position OF the mining
States is one which iustiies some anxiety.
