Republican and Alliance Combine
A call has been issued over the sig
nature of a majority of the officers of
the Washington county Alliance, ask
ing for a meeting of the Republican
members of the Alliance and the Re
publican central committee for the
purpose of uniting the two factions
and thereby obviate the necessity of
the Alliance putting out a ticket of
its own. In the call is found the fol-
lowing:
The motto of the order is: In
things essential unity, in all things
charity" All questions in political
economy will be thoroughly discussed
and when the order can agree on a
reform as necessary they Will demand
it Of the government and of every
political party, and if the demand
goes unheeded they viii devise ways
/ to enforce it. The most essential re-
form must come from legislation, but
that does not necessarily compel the
responsibility of choosing candidates
and filling the Offices. Such a course
may be necessary, but will not be
resorted to under any other ciTcum-
stances. Therefore, III order to form
ulate a more perfect system Of action,
we respectfully suggest that all mem
bers of the alliance belonging to the
Republican party who are in favor of
fighting the battles of the alliance. in
the ranks Of the Republican party,
and in accordance with the above
declaration given by our supreme
council, and the method of work
! furnished by our official organ, meet
in Washington on Saturday, July 70,
| 1890, at 10 o'clock a. m, to perfect a
plan of work for the coming. cam
tpaign. We further suggest that the
Republican county central committee
! meet with US at the time and place
above mentioned, and request that
they come prepared to define their
position IN regard to alliance princi-
pies; and IN order to get full and
complete information we request the
attendance of all members Of the Re
publican party. Let US reason to-
gether with open doors, that the IN.
herent rights Of the people may MOI
be imperlled, and the purposes and
methods Of work for the Farmers
Alliance may not be trodden dow1
. by ambitious demagogues.-PLaju

At a meeting of the board, held in
the secretary's Office, in Burton, Kan,
December % and 81, 1889, the ques-
ton of supplying reading matter
gratis to the membership, and to the
uninitiated, to educate them IN the
principles and objects Of the order,
was under consideration. and it was
decided that the cheapest plan was to
get printed an edition of some paper
favorable to our cause.
We applied to Brother S. AIcLallin,
editor Of The ADVOCATE, who had
located his paper at Topeka, to give
US estimates Of the cost Of such edit
ion. He proposed to furnish "a
page paper, filed with articles from
prominent alliance men at the cost OF
white paper Thinking this offer as
favorable as cOuld be secured, we or
dered $4,000 copies, to which Brother
1IcLallin added 10000 copies gratis
The cost Of the edition, including
postage, was $3.50, or LBS cents PEI

of February the secretary received
more reports of new alliances than in
any other month during the year.
We feel that the great impetus given
to the growth of the order is largely
due to the influence of these papers,
and that the order has received many
times over the value of it, and that
we are able to make the following
very satisfactory financial exhibit is
largely due to the same cause.

The foregoing statement contains
the true inwardness of the transac-
ton and all there is in it. Any state
ment containing more than this is
made either through ignorance or
malice.
The statement has been made up
on reliable authority that the state
secretary has ga pile Of that issue
about six feet high, six feet long and
at least three feet wide" The entire
number received by the secretary
would not make a pile half that size,
and he had at the time that staten ent
was made about 100 copies of the pa
per. He is yet issuing them for the
good of the order, and every package
sent adds to the strength of the order.
] What better use can be made of a
part of the funds than to procure and
distribute alliance literature among
the people? What plan can we adopt
to extend the order, convert the IN
believer, and strengthen the faith OF
the brethren that Will be as cheap and
give better results? What we have
done we did believing it to be the
best thing that could be done at the
! time to extend the order and educate
the people.
Conscious of the rectitude of oul
| purpose and satisfied that the results
justify the means, we submit this
statement to you. Your fraternally,

The Griffin Greys Asked to Pay an Old
Debt.
GRIFFIN, Ga, Feb 2S.-When the gay
and festive H. o. Wood. whose sudden de-
parture from the city caused sorrow among
many creditors and a big sensation in social
circles, was captain of the Spalding Crews
of Griffin, the company bought new uni
form. Capt. Hill became surety for the
payment of the bill, but before the account
became due Capt. Wood left the city, the
company disbanded and Capt. Hill was
called upon to pay for the uniforms, which
he did.
Upon the reorganization of the Greys,
and, as is supposed, the creation of a bank
account in their favor. Capt. Hill appears
and seeks restitution of the money paid for
the former organization, amounting to
about $500, principal and interest, and to
this end has instituted suit returnable to
the August term of the superior court.
The company claims that it was not the
party that contracted the old debt-not an
officer of the old company is member of
the present organization, and but three
members from the ranks were under Capt.
Woods command-and that to pay debts
that they were in no wise responsible for,
party TO, or in any sense beneficiary from,
would be erroneous and illegal, and their
convictions are, apparently, to go into
court in defense of their rights.

De secured, were employed in blasting the
waste waterway TO increase its capacity.
The sign of the break was the swapping of
the large steel cable connecting the work in
the middle of the dam with the bank. This
occasioned loud report, and he said it
seemed as if a ball of fire was shot from it.
AWAY WENT THE DAM.
The next instant that tower tottered, and
it seemed as if the entire dam, containing
10000 tons Of rock, all moved bodily at
once. The roar of the waters and the
grinding of the boulders was perfectly
deafenlng- The messenger sent to warn
those at the lower dam. and who failed to
do so on account of becoming intoxicated,
has not been seen since. The first survivors
to errlve in Prescott came in yesterday af-
ternoon, when John Hardee, Edward Davis
and William Russell came IN, all of them
being more or less bruised and skinned from
climbing the steep hill among the cactus
and sharp rocks to escape the food.
HARDEE's EXPERIENCE.
John Hardee gave his experience as
follows: 81 was camped on Barren creek
with three others. Some time after mid
night we were awakened by a deafening

Two Citizens of Calhoun Euchred
Out of $500 in New York.
CALHOUN, GA, Feb 2S.-The Times Of
to-day prints the following sensational
story:
Two citizens of Gordon county recently
made up a purse of $500 among q few of
their friends and went to New York city for
the purpose of investing in what is COM
monty known as green goods or counter
felt money. They had been corresponding
with New York parties, and all the prelimi-
naries had been arranged. For $500
in genuine money they were to receive So
600 Of the spurious stuff. Arriving in New
York they soon found their bogus friends
and proceeded with them to their head
quarters. They were led by various and
winding ways TO a room, where the
sharpers counted out the IS. 900 to them and
took their $500. The Gordon county men
were highly elated at their success, and
pocketing the money started to return to
the street, when they were met in the hall
by five men dressed as policemen, who
arrested them and took them into another
room. where they were searched and re-
lieved of the s., 200 received from the
sharpers. They were told of the crime they
committed in handling the spurious money
and threatened with Imprisonment, but
finally accepted the proposition of release
upon the terms that they would return
home without trying to make an investi-
cation.
They were glad to accept any terms of
release, and the next train found them
speeding on their way home, where they are
now, sadder but wiser men.

TO call attention to the fact that the same
thing exists in regard to the debates Of con-
gress generally.
Mr.. Hawley, in reply to Mr.. Hale, re-
ferred TO the fact that in this country there
was an official report published every day
IN the Congressional Record, while there
was no such publication in England; there
fore the London papers gave pretty full
reports OF parliamentary proceedings.
Mr.. Hoar gave as another reason why
English journals gave such full reports of
parliamentary proceedings the fact that
there, when an important question was
taken up, it was debated until final action,
and thus public interest was kept con-
centrated upon it.
FIRED AT RANDOM.
But here a man sat down and wrote out
a speech three or four weeks before any
measure came up on which it was delivered,
and then gave notice that he would. on a
certain day, deliver that speech. How, he
asked, could the newspapers be expected to
NIL their columns with the report of such a
speech, the delivery Of which caused deser-
uon OF every seat in the Senate every day
