The Alliance.

The Farmers Alliance is the out
growth of the agitation caused by the
Grangers, the Knights of Labor, and
the. Patrons of Husbandry These or
CARNATIONS were a protest against the
political machine and boss rule While
as national force, neither ever accom-
plished much, yet they evoked infiuen-
ces which moved politicians to fear and
stimulated to thought all classes of peo-
pie. Out of the wreck of some of these
organizations lesson was learned by
the Alliance They have discovered
that the old scheming politicians had
too much to do with the Changers and
the Patrons of Husbandry-that the
Knights of Labor, in some instances,
have been used to compromise the phi
mary objects of the organization.
Awaiting themselves of the faults and
defects of these forces, as manifested in
their experience, the Alliance has
builded better and we hope more en-
duringly, and that when the history of
the Alliance is written it will be a record
of the bone and sinew of the country.
showing their ability to comprehend
their own interests, as well as the inter
ests of the country
Of course, the Alliance, as political
force, is an experiment. 1t will be ex-
posed to the chance of parties like all
other organizations but as its basis
principle is sound, great good may be
effected even in the crucial of first
trial of its wisdom and sagacity affect
ing national legislation.
There is no question at all about the
farmers of the country having a griev-
ance. They have been the foot balls
of the politicians from the time the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. They have been hood winked
and fooled time out of mind, and it is
the purpose to reform the methods of
the past with the present organization.
If, however, the Alliance is true to itself
will steer clear of professed dema-
gogues and place-seekers, and conform
its demands to conservative lines, hold
ing in view the primary object of the
welfare of labor in all of its divisions, it
will be success-will come to stay, and
exert a salutary influence upon the ma
ton.

Interesting Decision.

In the Supreme Court of Virginia, at
Richmond, ON the goth, an interesting
decision was handed down, representing
the unanimous opinion of the Court.
Finley against Brent was case In which
certain church property left to the
Methodists in Northumberland county
before the denomination divided INTO
was in litigation. When the war termi-
mated the Southern Methodists were
left in possession. Later on the North
ern wing came in and claimed the prop
erty on the ground that the others were
not the original denomination to whom
the church belonged. The Supreme
Court has just decided in favor of the
Northern body. There is no doubt
equity and law in the decision, and it
showed the impartiality of the highest
court in a Southern State in case
where sectional feeling might naturally
have crept in. The history of the pres
ent court, when it is written, will show :
as much integrity and ability in dealing
with complicated and delicate itigated
cases as is generally shown by courts
under less involved surroundings. This
court has rendered number of opin-
ions, which in the very nature of the cases
demanded that the judges should be
real judges of law and fact and right.
and in every instance they have risen to
the merits and the justice of the causes
they passed upon.

Some of the New York banks are de-
handing an expansion of the currency.
The crest of the contraction wave hav-
ing been reached, it is now proposed to
try the expansion policy to accommo
date the business Of the country in this
period of unexampled activity and ma
terial development. There is no doubt
that the conditions now confronting the
nation demand larger volume of cur
rency. If the present volume was suff-
cient for the needs Of trade twelve
months ago, the unprecedented bust
ness enterprises and enlarged and null
tiplied industrial operations now will
require twice as much.

| Inasmuch as the provision in the tariff
bill, relating to the tariff on tin plate
will not go into effect until January
| 1891, it would seem a little too previous
| to advance the price of tin ware and
charge it to the Mckinley BILL And
| further, when it is remembered that tin
plate is 95 per cent. of iron, that block
tin, out of which the coating for the tin
plate is made, is on the free list, it would
look like the free traders were straining
a point when they clamor about the
Mckinley bill increasing the price Of tin
ware.
1t is charged by the New York Press,
that Roswell p. Flower, Chairman OF
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, sent out autograph letters to party
leaders throughout the country, in
structing them to have Democratic
store-keepers to raise the prices on all
goods whatsoever, and charge the in
crease to the Mckinley bill The in
structions were faithfully carried out,
and more cool, deliberate lying and
swindling were perpetrated thereby than
was ever known in so short a time Mer-
chants swindled their customers and
+ lied in order to do it, and all for the
sake of English free trade and against
American interests.

A QUESTION OF DESERTS.
The Board of Trade Is Hot at the
Business Union.

At last the board of trade has awakened
to the fact that the Business Mems I'M
ion is rather dangerous rival. and at
the meeting yesterday morning the mat
ter was placed in the hands of commit
tee to look up. The specific complaint
is that the union had been given the
credit of procuring the linen mills for
Minneapolis, when in fact it had moth
ing to do with the matter, the whole
credit belonging to Secretary Hall, of
the board of trade.
Nearly the whole time of the meeting
was taken up in this matter, the mem
berS discussing it at length.
In order to head Off the union, Judge
Atwater moved that committee of
three, consisting of Gen. Wilson. John
T. Wyman and w. E. Steele. be APP
pointed to obtain from Secretary Hall
statement showing what the board of
trade had done for Minneapolis since its
existence, and furnish it to the press for
publication. The motion was carried,
and as soon as possible the statement
will be published.
The board also voted to ask all the
candidates for the legislature OH all the
tickets as to their stand on the question
of making county Offices all salaried po-
sitions. and pledges are to be secured to
vote for bill with that end in view.
After reading a letter from S. A.
Thompson, secretary of the Duluth
board of trade, which asked what Min
neapolis proposed to do in regard to the
worlds fair, the board adjourned. A
similar letter was received by the cham
Der of commerce and has already been
published.

THE JURY HAS THE CASE.
Emil v. Koessel Awaits the Re-
turn of the Twelve Men.

Emil v. KoesseI Awaits the Re-
turn of the Twelve Men.
The embeZzlement case OF Emil V.
Koessel went to the jury last evening.
The argument for dismissal was heard
at length by Judge Hicks in the morn
ing and was finally denied. The pros
ecution was greatly surprised when,
after it closed its case, Mr.. Robinson
for the defense stated that he had no
defense to make, but should base his
case upon the witnesses of the state.
Mr.. Nye arose and opened his sum-
ming up to the jury in his usual fluent
style. He stated that the offer of no de-
Tense had somewhat surprised the state,
and he was hardly prepared to take up
things in their proper order. However,
he made good address, and took oc-
casion to state that the defense had
gone to the extent Of an artificial de-
Tense. 1t was not the clients defense;
it was the defense of the attorney,
learned in the bubbles of the law. Mr..
KOessel, although he had betrayed the
sacred confidence reposed in him. had
something in his favor, for his attitude
had been one OF penitence, as was dis
played by the writing of the letters,
which had been translated into En-
glish. In one of these he had stated:
81 have come to the conclusion that it
was cowardly to leave my home and
country" and yet they were told that
he would be adjudged innocent, be-
cause he had paid over small amounts
of interest upon the trust.
Attorney Robinson in reply made an
eloquent talk, enlarging upon the facts
in the case, especially that part of the
testimony which went to show that
Korssel had paid to the lodge the inter-
est, and had at one time paid demand
made on the day after they had asked
for it.
The argument was long one. and
ably rendered, the counsel laboring with
the jury to try and convince them that
from the evidence the lodge was cOgniZ-
ant of the fact that he was using the
money in his business.
Judge Hicks began his charge to the
jury in the afternoon, which proved to
be clear and concise statement of the
law in the case. He stated that the
whole five facts sought to be proved by
the prosecution must be subStantiated
beyond a reasonable doubt in order to
make case. Also that the mere fact
of the defendant having paid the inter-
est to the lodge was not sufficient in
itself to prove that the lodge knew to
what use he was applying the funds.
At l: 80 o'clock the jury went out. and
the principals We're left in the room to
begin their long wait for the verdict.
At 5 o'clock they were still out, and
evidently laboring hard to arrive at
some conclusion.
