40 SOMETHING FOR THE FARMERS" )"
IL the Urgent Plea of the National Lee
turer of the Farmers Alliance.

IL the Urgent Plea of the National Lee
turer of the Farmers Alliance.
WASHINGTON, May 17.--The hearing
of the Farmers Alliance representatives
was continued before the ways and
means committee, Mr.. Livingstone, the
National lecturer Of the organization,
taking up the argument. He quoted
President Lincoln's prophecy that corpo-
rations would be enthroned; that the
property of the country would be con-
centrated, and that the republic itself
would be overthrown. Thank God the
last prediction had not heen fulfilled.
Bnt the others had been. One-twentieth
Of the people of the country owned
three fftbs of the property. He also
duoted Garfield, jefferson and Calhoun,
and said that what they had recon-
mended was just what the alliance
asked.
If congress refused to approve the sub
treasury plan. then let 1t remove the re-
strictions hedging In the National bank
ing system. The farmers would care
| nothing about trusts and combinations
and concentration of money il they
could hoid their crops in sub-treasuries,
and were not compelled, as at present,
TO sell them at stated times-in October
in the south. He could thus escape the
speculation. 1t would be Godsend to
| this country 10 pass the sub-treasury
bill, for the reason, If no other, that
there would not be bucket shop left in
the United States. The day of specula-
lion in crops would be done away with,
and the producer and consumer would be
brought together, It had been charged
that the farmers would form trust, but
this was against the farmers nature.
| Sixteen millions would build ali the
warehouses the alliance wanted. What
good were river and harbor improve
ments to the debt-ridden, oppressed
| farTner2 Never more than third Of
| the cotton crop would be warehousea. !.
| When the certificates issued on that
crop came ia they would meet the needs
OF the wheat crop, and then the tobacco
crop. and so on. There would not be
excessive changes in the volume of cur
rency.
In conclusion he said that If the com.
nittee thought that the landed basis
Yves the best; Il they could not accept
the crop basis. let them put that in the
bill. Do something to relieve the
ser.aer. Report the bill to the house IN
| some shape, so that II could be acted
upon. Don't make it a question OF
tariff or Of politics, but let the bill stand
ON its merits.

CENSUS OF FARM MORTGAGES.

Superintendent Porter Tells How He Pro-
poses to Conduct IL.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE adoption
by the senate of a resolution directing
the superintendent of the census to COM
municate his plans for ascertaining the
number of people who own farms and
homes and the amount of Indebtedness
there, has called forth the reply that the
census Office has not formulated any in
subject except of general nature, and
that it Is not the intention to place in
the hands of special agents the work of
gathering these statistics until the other
methods of the census Office have been
exhausted.
Superintendent Porter says:
at was decided when the act of Feb.
81, 1890, relating to farms, homes and
mortgages, was passed by congress that
the enumerators should simply be called
upon to secure information which will
enable the census office, by correspond
ence and ultimately by special agents
and probably in many cases by search
ing the records, to obtain with almost
hDbOlllbG
the facts required. If this is done faith
fully the postoffice address of every per-
son owning and occupying a mortgaged
home or farm will be in the possession
of the census office, together with the
addresses Of all owners Of farms and
homes in cases where q doubt exists as
to whether said farms and homes are
mortgaged or not.
"As the law provides penalty of 800
for refusal to answer, it is believed
that q very large percentage of the cir
culars which will be sent from the CEN
sus Office as soon as the population
schedules are returned will be answered
forthwith. 1t is not likely that these
circulars will be required before July,
so they have not as yet been formulated.
1t is the intention, however, to include
such questions as will elicit the amount
of shortage Indebtedness due upon every
mortgaged home and farm occupied by
the owner, the value of the mortgaged
property, the rate of interest borne by
the debt, the causes and purposes of the
Indebtedness, and such other informa-
ton as may be obtainable, and will aid
in making this inquiry as complete as
possible. 1t should be borne in mind
that the enumerat0r is local man, and
in many cases not known to the person
to whom the inquiry is directed.
1T was therefore fair to assume that
persons called upon to make these returns
relating to such delicate matter as debt
will more cheerfu1ly fill out a blank ad-
dressed to the superintendent of census,
to be mailed directly to Washington,
there to lose its identity among millions
of othes returns, than give the informa-
tion as to the amount Of their indebted
ness to the enumerator. In any event the
census office will secure, and by the aid
of special agents will ultimately be able
to work up the list of delinquents until,
by one method or another, practically
every return Is obtained. 1t is not like
Ky, with the liability to a fine staring
them in the face, that people will refuse
to reply to the census circular, and
should they finally refuse to give the in
formation to special agent Of the office,
the opportunity of searching the records

MILITARY TEMPERANCE RULES.


Important Amendment of the Array
Regulations by Secretary Proctor.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secretary
of war has amended Paragraph 329 OF
the army regulations as follows:
The sale or use Of ardent spirits or wines
in canteens is strictly prohibited; but the
commanding officer Is authorized to per
NIT light beer to be sold therein by the
drink, ON week days, and in room used
for no other purpose, and, when practic-
able in building apart from that in
which the canteen is located, whenever he
is satisfied that the giving to the men the
opportunity of obtaining such beverages
within post limits has the effect of pre-
venting them from resorting for strong
intoxicants to places within such limits,
and tends to promote temperance and dis
Gipline among them. The practice of what
is known as treating must not be per-
mitted.
Chickamauga Park Matters Postponed.
WASHINGTON, May II. Owing to the
fact that the Chickamauga park bill, in
common with much other business
which has been favorably reported to
the house, was temporarily postponed by
the tariff debate, the secretary of war
cannot send an officer at present to take
official note of positions which might be
fixed by the parties which have been
forming to visit the Chickamauga field
during the present month. Until an
officer can attend, the time and money
of private parties will be wasted, since,
however well satisfied those visiting the
field should be of positions they might
locate, they could not be accepted be-
cause no official record would exist of
the authority ON which they were fixed.
Two months later the situation will be
different.
