THE SUB TREASURY BILL.
What is Being Said in Washington of Nc
CIammys Substitute.


Washington Cor. Atlqnta Cons,it4t.on 81 ult. ]
w. Macune, chairman of the Far
mers' Alliance legislative committee,
upon being asked this evening about
the status of the sub treasury bill and
if the Alliance would adopt the Nc
CIammy bill as substitute wrote out
the following in reply:
"Nr. McCllammy's bill is in NJ
sense of the word an Allisnce measure,
and is not nor will it ever be a
substitute for the sub treasury bill. He
had no right or authority to say that
it was endorsed by every Alliance in
the land 1t fills an entirely different
field, and if it should become law,
there would still be just as great IL
necessity for the sub treasury bill as
now. 1t seeks simply to increase the
volume of money "n land. The AL
lance has not dis ;ussed or acted upon
that question. We have announced in
general way, in favor nf sn increase
in the volume of money, and have dis
cused and adopted the sub treasury
plan The reason f,r this is that the
farmer is behind in the race today
There is an actual discrimination
against him by fixed volume If
money. the control IF ich the gov
ernment entrusts 10 class. their
bill seeks tn remove this discrimina
ton and place them on an equal foot
ing with the rest of the procession
They say give us this and we will
make this country blossom like rose
and will j,in you all in any safe aud
conservative method for increasing the
stable volume of the circulating me-
dium. What we want now is fexi
bility that will enable us to assert our
freedom from the power of money to
oppress.
WHAT COL. POLK SAYS.
Col. L. L. Polk, president of the
Farmers Alliance, said tonight that
he was not the author of the McClam-
my bill, introduced yesterday, which
provides for the government to lend
money on lands at one per cent. 1t
was. he says, drawn up by his private
secretary, D. H. Rittenhouse, and he
knew nothing about it.
Indeed" said he tonight, Il have
not considered the bill critically, and
am not yet willing to express an opin-
ion on it.
"Then you have not abandoned the
sub treasury
No; we shall not abandon it until it
has been squarely defeated. or until
some better measure has been prnpos-
ed. We considered land measures be.
fore the sub treasury bill was prepar-
ed, and decided that such measures
would not give to the currency suff-
cient fiexibility. However, l have
not made careful enough examina-
ton of the McClammy bill to give
you an opinion. If, however, after
examination, we find this bill better
than the sub treasury, l should be
perfectly willing t, abandon the lat
ter"
..Do you know the Ways and
Means committee have deciied
against the sub treasury bill?"
"Yes, l have heard it, but if this
CongIe ess adjourns without doing any
thing to relieve the farmer, you will
hear howl which will tell on the
men who failed to aid them by legis-
lation."

Pensions and Standing Armies.

The New York Herald keeps the
following article standing at the head
of its editorial column:
In 1888 we paid in pensions $780,
288, ,50S.77. Ii 1889 We paid S87,-
624,779,11. The cost of the German

Besides our pensions our army costs

A Sure Enough Goat.
[From The Me,cs and Obserper.1

A day or two ago a little ragged ur-
chin walked into the express office
with a goat and said he wanted to
send him off. On being asked where
the goat was to be sent he walked all
around him time or two, looked at
the exppess agent, scratched his head
and said: Il d.,n' know, goat don
know, 'spress company don know,

Mr.. James Askew, of the Falls of

the mills will be able to make paper

atty is urgent for thu enactment of laws
for the supervision and regulation OF

Sioux FALLS, s, D., Jan. 2.-Consider-
able excitement prevails among the tenn
peEancs people over the stand taken by
the majority OF the saloon keepers. All
saloon licenses expired with the year.
With one or two exceptions, however.
all the places were open yesterday az
usual. The impression prevails among
the liquor dealers that they will be per-
mitted to continue in business until ths
law to be passed by the coming legisla-
ture for enforcing thepsohihitory amend
ment goes into eject. The chief saloon
keeper of the city has closed his shop
and announces that he will not open
until the amendment. is repealed under
the omnibus bill upon which South Da.
kota was admitted as state. There is q
law for prosecuting saioon-keepers with
ont licepss still in force and the keepers
| are somewhat adverse to controversy in
business and fear prosecution from the
| temperance people.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The queen has per-
mttted 1t to be announced that she intends
leaving England for the continent early ~
the year, ner present plans being to remain
abroad a month. This queens health has
been poor for some time and 1t is undoubt-
edly due TO her constant worry concerning
her family affairs. The marriage oil her
favorite daughter, the Princess Beatrice. to
Prince Battanberg, which, 1t will be remem-
bersd, the Prince of Wales 80 stEenuously
opposed, the queen now realizes, has been
d failure. and the matter has been much
greater source Of uneasiness than tue pub
lio supposed. Now that the details OF Bat
terberg's latest complication have been Sc:
cured, the modification OF the queen Will
be appreciated.
Before his marriage to Beatrice young
Battenherg's poverty and good looks III
spired him to put himself Ia the hands OF
designing Russian lady, who utilized her
position In the suite of the late Empress Of
RussiE to negotiate marriages between
wealthy heiresses and penniless princes. She
resided IN France when Batterberg put his
| princely name on the matrimonial books,
and the mRtch-maker's first attempt was to
bring about marriage with Mile. Dim.
court, whose marriage to Alfred Musurusi
con of the Turkish ambassador In London
! mad ldsl been declared VOID, as ms DflOe
was minor and French law gives the
| parent the right to annul contract OF CON
staney under such a condition. Nile. Dim
court rejected Battenberg on account Of his
poverty, and he was then offered to Miss
! Winnyfreta Singer, daughter OF the sewing
machine millionaire and now Princess o.
| seay.
After being hswked over half OF Europe
Battenberg finally secured sufficient eour
influence and backing Of the Court OF Hesst
| Darmstadt to promise success In london
H!thsr he accordingly went, and Beatrice
fall IN love with him at first sight. Since
| the couple have been welded the Russian
matchmaker has persistently dunned Bat
fsnbar9, and all he could squeeze from hi.
sp0use's allowance has gone to tho womaI
rs price for her silence. Recently
firing OF the continual Hiackmail, the princt
refused further TO submit even In the face
OF threatened exposure. Tberenpon the
woman wrote in the most fGlsome detail Il
Lord Chamberlain Latham, accompanying
her own state ii 3nt with mass VI letter!
relating TO Battenberg'o Wcoing and show
ing him In an unenviable light. Latham
VINO has given frequent evidence of his dis
Ike for Batrice's husband, submitted tn
entire correspondence to the queen and Bat
tenberE was sent abroad with the least pos
sihls delay. AS he has been absent now tw,
month";, 1t miy mean an indefinite Danish
