Senator Call and the ALLIANCES.

Senator Call, Of Florida, doesn't intend to
antagonize the alliance II he can avoid
doing So He is now engaged in making
canvass Of his state, aad has strong hopes OF
being reelected senator. In his speeches
he is giving the alliance good deal Of caffy.
but announces that he will not support the
sub-treasury bill unless required to do so. In
his speech in Bradford cou1ty the other day
he said that he was glad that there was
such an organization as the farmers alli-
ance, and that be fully indorssd it and its
principles. He regarded it, he declared, as
the great auxiliary OF the Democratic
party. He did not go so far as to say that
lit was the Democratic party itself"
But Senator Call cannot quite swallow
the sub-treasury bill. He doesn't want to
be measured by that part of the alliance
yard stick. Still. If the alliance insist that
be shall be measured by it he will submit,
and intimates that he will not be found
wanting.
He told the alliancemen Of Bradford
county that be would support the sub-treas-
ury bill if instructed 10 do so, but that he
much preferred bill for the benefit OF the
farmers which he himself had introduced
into the Senate. Doubtless no regards his
bill as something better
Is it not little strange that none OF the
representatives or senators in congress have
yet squarely Endorsed the sub-treasury billi
They are anxious enough to BIS reelected,
but somehow or other they are willing to
risk defeat rather than say they think that
bill is good thing. The fact is, they
know that it has no chance of being passed
by congress, and they believe that it would
do the farmers more harm than good-that
1t would, IN fact, upset the finances of the
country and bring ruin not only to the
farmers, but also to about all other classes Of
people. Would it not be wise for
level-headed alliancemen to give the bill a
little more consideration before insisting
that candidates for Office, every way worthy
of their confidence and support. shall in
dorse it, Men who have the reputation of
being statesmen would not be so unani-
mously opposed to it, particularly as they
are anxious for the good will and support
of alliancemen, il there were not something
radically wrong with it. l. cannot be pos
sible that r1ght-thinking alliancemeu want
public men to accept it whether it is good
bill or not. II they do not they ought to
be certain that it is a wise measure be-
fore they determine to strike down those
who oppose it There are those who will
favor it for the sake of getting place aud
power, but they are not the kind of men to
whom the public interests ought to be in
trusted. OF course there are some who
believe it would be a good thing for the
farmers and the country. though they have
never yet given wholly satisfactory reasons
for their belief

unredesmsd Pledges.

The day after congress adjourned the
New York Tribune, the leading republican
organ, announced IN headline over It's
Washington news that the Republican party
had redeemed all its pledges of
course, those made in the last national re-
publican platform and those made during
the last national campaign. The Tribune did
not forget the pledge relative to civil service
reform-a pledge that was made all toe
stronger by the indorsement which Presi-
dent Harrison gave il in his inaugural ad-
dress. 1t simply ignored it, aud endeavoret
TO make the people bslieve that its party
had kept all Of IT'S promises.
Oa tho day that the Tribune tried to mis-
lead the people the National Civil Service
Reform League, which was in session in
Boston. adopted resolutions condemning in
the strongest terms the Republican party for
its failure to uphold civil service reform
after pledging itself to do 50. The re5olu-
lions call attention to the pledge of the Re-
publican party at tbs last presidential cleo
tion, that the reform already begun should
be extended TO all grades of the civil ser
vice, and that the spirit Of the reform should
be observed, and they prote t against the con-
tempt for the pledge shown by that
party. Continuing, the resolutions say:
mot only have not the spirit and purpose
Of reform been observed in all the executive
departments, but they havo been often
violated The removal Of postmasters for
no other cause than their political opinions
or party affiliations, resulting ia partisan
devastation of that important branch Of the
public service, is breach of faith with the
country and a grave offense against pure
politics and efficient public service"
The truth is not stated in the resolutions
anywhere as strongly as it could have been.
President Harrison has gone just as far as
he dared in removing officials withou cause
in order to make room for republicans.
President Cleveland came very near en-
forcing the civil service reform law
in letter and spirit, but Presi-
dent Harrison has gone back
TO the spoils system-that Is, he has turned
out democrats to make places for republic
cans whenever he could do SO without ex-
citing too much comment. That he is
spokesman at heart there is no doubt, and
that the Republican party believes in the
dared, there can be no question. The only
thing that prevents President Harrison's
from turning every man
who is democrat out of office, from the
highest to the lowest, is the fear of offending
public sentiment
What nonsense it is therefore for the
New York Tribune to announce that the
Republican party has redeemed all its
pledges. Doesit think the people do not know
what the Republican party promised and
what it has donel II it does, it is g realty mis-
taken. The people know very we'll that dur
ing the Presidential campaign stump speak
erS shouted themselves hoarse for civil SER
vice reform and the party organs filled their
columns with praises of it. They were
aiming to deceive the people then, and they
are trying to deceive them now by telling
them that all the pledges have been re-
deemed.

King Cotton and King Iron.

One of the speakers-an Englishman-at
the convention of the British Iron aud Steel
Institute, now in session in New York, said
on Wednesday, that the United States now
led the world in the production of iron.
An admission like that was not, of course,
gratifying to Englishmen, but it shows that
the leading men Of other countries under
stand fully the wonderful progress this
country is making in all sorts of industrial
undertakings. This country also leads he
world in the production of cotton aud
breadstuffs, and it leads it in
many other things The fact that
this country leads every other in
the production of iron and cotton, however,
gives it position in the worlds affairs that
cannot be well overestimated.
And it should not be forgotten that
cotton in this country is produced only
in the south, and that the time is close
at hand when tho bulk of the iron pro-
duced in this country will be produced
in the south. Those who have any doubt
that the future of the south will be
great one need only to consider that
the south can produce both cotton and iron
Az niiAoSO uhAAthiLou uutbublIlos, anu al u less
cost than they can be produced elsewhere,
to have that doubt removed
Years ago Mr.. Hewitt, of New York,
after visiting the iron regions of Alabama,
said that that state alone contained enough
iron ore to supply the demands of
the world for iron for five centuries, and Il
is evident that the statement was not an
exaggerated one. iron and coal and lime
are so close together in the south, that in
no other section of this country, and per-
haps of the world, can iron be produced so
cheaply. And cotton, is not the produc-
ton of that article steadily increas-
ingl 1t will not be many years
before the annual production will
reach 100000 bales. Aud very soon
the bulk of the cotton will not go to the
northern states and TO Europe. 1t is going
to be utilized in cotton mills close to the
cotton fields. The number of cotton mills
in the south is increasing rapidly, aud young
men of to-day will live to see the time when
southern cotton mills will take the greater
part of the cotton crop. 1t cannot be a
mistake, therefore. to say that the south has
a great future. No man has a correct ap-
probation how great it will be. With I'M
limited cotton and iron the south is in the
shadow Of great wealth and great popula-
ton.

An interesting suit is pending at Hunt
ington, Ind, resulting from the death of
an 1S-year-old youth. Some time ago the
son OF Siney became intoxicated in q saloon
and afterward wandered around until he
fell into the Wabash river and was drowned.
Now Sllney, pere, brings suit for $4,000
damages against the saloon keeper and the
brewer who supplies him. for caus-
ing the death of his son. This is
case that will attract general
attention; and the outcome will be watched
with no little interest, as showing to what
extent the liquor dealer can be held legally
accountable for injury done to those to
whom he supplies intoxicants to excess.
Not the least singular feature of the case is
the very modest valuation the father puts
upon his sons life in his claim for recon-
pense.

Partisan malice could not be carried to
greater lengths than Elder John Wanna
maker has done at Bishopville, s. C. First
ne unceremoniously removed a capable
postmaster for no other reason than because
he was a democrat, and substituted an
Ignorant negro. When the people refused
to have anything to do with him Wana-
maker finally appointed a white man
equally objectionable to the community
bis name was Dennis. When he failed to
give bonds an inspector was sent out to
cioie the Office. Now the question arises
whether the postoffice department is main
tanned for pnblic convenience or merely &c
crafty partisan spite.

There is pretty strong tincture of irony
in the spectacle of the English Ironmasters'
Institute being welcomed TO America by
Andrew Carnegie who has done as much
as any other living man to embargo their
wares out into the middle of the Atlantic
ocean. Doubtless even the stolid Britous
will appreciate the humorous aspect OF a
man extending his hand through the bars
OF a closed and locked gate and effusively
assuring the visitor that he is delighted to
see him.

Crary is 16 They had been in love some
time. Taking advantage of Miss Crary's
visit to the state fair at Indianapolis the
couple ran away and telegraphed to the old
folks that they would soon return. But the
parents Immediately pursued and caused
the arrest of the clippers. When they
learned that the pair should really
be married they agreed to a
wedding, but James positively refused
Now the old man is in quandary and
James is in Jail. Both are rich and bellg-
erent. Each now occupies just the opposite
position he assumed at first. 1t is a strik-
ing illustration of the obstinacy OF man
kind, and meanwhile each is presumably
wondering what will come next.

Three Dollars More for a Black Eve.

~
James Gordon Bennett has q wa, of dropping
In to examine the Herald at the most unex-
pected times. and as his visits often result in
general shake-up" and reorganization of the
papers managerial, editorial and working
forces, they are awaited with fear and trembling
by his employees, says Ar0ondut. On one of
these occasions one Of the pressmen, a man
who had worked for ths elder Bennett and was
an excellent workman, though guilty of an oc-
casional lapse from sobriety, had bad
black eye, and was in quandary as to what
excuse he should offer If Bennett
noticed it, Acting on a sudden inspirat on. he
seized an ink-rolier and rubbed daub of ink on
the side of his face completely concealing the
discoloration of his skin. Presently Mr. Ben
nett came into the press room, and with the
superintendent, John Hays, went carefully
through, crticizing every detail. and looking
sharply at each employe. When about to leave
he turned suddenly, and pointing to the be-
smirched pressman, said:
Mr.. Hays, what Is that mans name?"
The culprit quaked in his shoes until Mr. Ben
nett said slowly:
Il want you to give that man So per week
more wages he is the only man in the room
that looks as il he had been working.
