GORDON AND THE ALLIANCE.
The Governor, Who Wishes to Be Senator,
Objects to the Sub-Treasury Plan.
GSpecial to Charleston World.7

Especial to Charleston World.l
ATLANTA, August Ex-Governor
Gordon has arrayed himself squarely
against the Alliance, or at least against
the Alliance leaders. In spee=I de-
livered to the delegates Of the State
Alliance, he comes out squarely against
the sub-treasury plan, which is the
principal feature of the Alliance plat
form, and while he protests his friend
ship for the farmers and members of
the order, he declares that if it costs
him forty elections, he would never
support that sub-treasury plan.
This speech was made late last night.
To-day the Alliance unanimously re-
iterated its endorsements of the platform
of the st. Louis convention.
This action is taken as decidedly
significant, for the principal plank of
the St. Louis platform is the sub-treas-
ury bill. 1t looks now as if the issue
was squarely between Gordon and the
Alliance. His action in making it so
has created much comment. Some
time ago he wrote letter in reply to
one from the editor Of the Alliance Of
fetal organ, which was taken by the
Alliance men as an endorsement of their
platform, aDd was so treated by the Or
: gan. But now he comes out squarely
against the sub-treasury.
The Alliance leaders say that it un-
doubtedly means that Gordon will have
Alliance opposition in his race for the
senate. Whoit will be they do not inGi-
cate. But their action in endorsing the
sub-treasury plan right on top of Cor
don's declaration means, they say, a de-
mand of every Alliance man in the
next Legislature that he vote for no
candidate for the United States Senate
that does not stand squarely on the St.
Louis platform. The Alliance will un-
doubtedly have three-fourths Of the leg
islature which elects Senator Browns
successor.

the world. In their fight the Alliance

the world. In their fight the Alliance
men were aided by numbers ofSouth-
ern manufacturers, who purchased
machinery for the manufacture of the
substitute to jute bagging. Without
that assistance the war against the
trust must have resulted in failure.
1t is true that the prices on jute have
steadily decreased and are now at a
reasonable figure. But what assurance
have the farmers that the trust would
not Immediately raise prices if the
planters were again at their mercy?
They have none, but on the contrary
there is every reason to believe that the
extortion would be even greater should
the opportunity to extort again present
itselfto thejute men.
To prevent this the Alliancemen
must furnish market for the cotton
bsgging and other substitutes for jute.
Otherwise the factories which have
stood by the planters will stop the
manufacture of the substitute and the
Alliance again be at the mercy of COM
bined capital as represented in the jute
trust.
1t is given out authoritavely that
there is an ample supply of cotton bag
ging to be had, and merchants are only
waiting the action of the farmers be.
fore placing their orders. The Alliance,
therefore, should stick to the substitutes
and prosecute vigorously the war thus
far so successfully carried on against
the jute trust.

THE COTTON BAGGING BOYCOTT.
What Georgia journal Says About the
Fight Of the Farmers Alliance.

From the Atlanta constitutional
Speaking of boycotts, it may be re-
marked that the boycott of the Jute
Trust by the Farmers Alliance has
been a complete success. From Is
cents, the price demanded by the trust,
which was equal to a direct tax Of
81, 100000 year on the Southern farm
ers, jute has fallen to 81.
But even at this price there is no de-
mand for jute bagging on the part OF
the cotton growers. AS matter Of
fact the boycott has but just fairly
got into working order, and it is not
likely that the farmers will again place
themselves in the power Of 80 vicious a
!1@co14S5iIation as that formed by the
jute manufacturers. To resort again
to jute as covering for cotton would
not only be against the best interests of
the farmers, but would be unjust to
the interests which have been built up
as result Of the boycott.
The greed Of the jute men over
reached itself in this instance, and all
the indications &C to show that the
profitable market into which they en-
tered as highway robbers will never
again be open to them.
The Manufacturers Record makes a
little estimate that:is Of special interest
in this connection. If the entire new
crop. which is estimated at 7,0O0,0O
| bales, should be wrapped in cotton
bagging, S5,OOo,O0O yards of it would be
required, which is equivalent to p, ,000,.
600 pounds Of the staple, making new
market for $1,000 bales of 500 pounds
| each.
At a very low estimate, it is believed
| that this increased consumption will
add to the market price Of the staple at
least half cent pound, giving an ad-
| ditional value of $3.50 to each bale,
while the saving by the use of jute
would be but q cents a bale. It is not
expected that this result will be
brought about at once, but it is certain
to follow the persistent refusal of the
farmers to use jute. ..-
We may say here that an Atlanta
gentleman, whose process for extract
ing fbres has attracted attention even
in foreign countries, is now experiment.
ing with: the fibre of the cotton plant,
He thinks that for comparatively in
significant sum he can place on each
farm machine. for stripping the bark
from the cotton stalk directly: the pick
ing is over, and before the plant has
become dry and hard. From the bark
the fibre can be extracted at cost
almost nominal, and it can then be
worked up in the same manner as jute
and woven on the same machinery.

| ors who hac not already applled 1or or
received a pension, we have these hun
dreds of thousands additional who are
testifying that they are unable to per-
form manual labor, the wondering in
quiry must come as to how many VET
Grams are not thus incapacitated.
1t may be explained, however, that
the new bill fixes the rate of pensions
at S12 a month, and, since this is
higher rate than many existing pen
sioners have, a large part Of the appli-
cations are doubtless for repensioning
at the new rate. It was estimated in
the House that there would be $4,000
such cases. Again, the new bill makes
provisions for pensions for dependent
parents of soldiers and sailors and also
for children. Finally, large part of
the existing pension list is not for SUR
vivors of the war, but for the widows
and children Of the dead. Taking all
these facts into consideration, il is more
ineligible that the supply of surviv-
ing soldiers has really not been ex-
hausted even by the astonishing rush
OF between 100000 and 100000 new ap-
plications already made and now going
on.
While nothing but the official report
of the Pension Office can show the ex-
act state of the pension roll to-day, and
also of its prospective increase, there
are yet some means of making an esti-
mate on the subject. The last annual
report showed that there were 4S9, ,729
pensioners on the rolls at the beginning
of the last fiscal year. The net addi-
ton for the previous year had been
&c, ,168. That was perhaps an average of
the net increase for several former
years. The net increase for the year
before, however, had been 46,550 names,
which was an unusual growth.
During the last twelve months there
has been almost unprecedented activ-
ity in adding names. Still, if we sup
pose the total net increase for the year
to have been only a little over 40, 900
from ordinary routine sources, we
should have on the rolls, at the begin
ming Of July, $4,000 pensioners. We
next have to consider 100000 applica-
tions under the Disability bill, in
creased at the rate of 10, 600 a day. Sup
posing these new applications to stop
at 400, 900, although Gen. Alger offers
no hints on that subject, and also sup
posing that $4,000 of these applications
are from pensioners already on the list,
as estimated in Congress, We should
still hare a balance of $4,000 new ap-
plications. Even if only go per cent. of
these were successful, We should still
have total of 210, 900 new names added
TO the list, making, with the $50, 900
already estimated, a total of TAO, 900 on
the pension roll.
1t is evident that this is a very con-
servative calculation of what may be
expected. The army of Germany and
the army of France are small in num-
bers compared with this army of PEN
sioners.

Getting Back into the Party.
lBill Arp.7

Well, reckon the force bill is dead,
but the animus, the malice, the venom
that inspired it is not dead. They say
that Blaine gave it a black eye and
that be kicked the tariff bill in the pit
of the stomach, and we say hurrah for
Blaine. I'll hurrah for anybody who
proves himself a friend and an honest
statesman. don't care what party he
belongs to. The fact is, I havn't got
any party now except a southern party.
I chop my stove wood and have right
smart 'tater patch. but Tom Lyon says
that won't let me in. He says I must
raise some cotton to put in the alliance
warehouse that the government is
going to build. But Zachariah says it
is all right if behave. Now, please
tell me how long an outsider must be-
have before he can get his naturaliza-
ton papers and be somebody.
I would like to get back into the
party IL LII HCtSus ouG SILL LAc al11-
ance treats Inc very kindly. And some
of them hauls me wood just the same
as ever and takes my silver dollar as
kindly as he used to. Old Father
Haynie says he will sell me corn and
fodder at the town price. Livingston
asked me if DR.. FELTON, was going to
run for congress against Everett. I
said didn't know. Then ne said if
the doctor run he would be the worst
beat man that ever run in the State of
Georgia. "I'll come up there and take
a hand in that fight myself" said he.
Wouldn't that be fun. Our boys want
to see it. The farmers have made
splendid crops and they are in fine
humor, and we all want to see some
fun. The doctor is farmer and a pa
triot just like Everett, and so the gene
raj verdict is, ''Let 'em fight, let 'em
fight"

REMARKABLE FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Little Girl Killed by the Fall OF {
Young Lady.
1(Ireenyille News, 21st.

E.nmie, the eight-year-old daughter
of w. II. Moon, living twenty-five
miles above this city, in CLASSY Noun
tain township, was instantly killed at
noon yesterday in a strange manner.
A Miss Brady was visiting Mr..
Moons family. She was leaning
against a post on the piazza Of the
house and the little girl was playing in
the yard. In a playful mood the little
girl stole noiselessly behind the young
lady and reaching up, suddenly pulled
her dress. The playful act frightened
Miss Brady and caused her to lose her
balance. She clutched the post to keep
from falling, and as she did so. the post
gave way, both it and Miss Brady fall
ing on the child. The little girl was
killed almost instantly, to the great
horror of Miss Brady and members Of
Mr.. Moons family. The father Of the
unfortunate child was acquitted a few

Beauty Hired to Bashe.
From the Troy Press. ]

I learned this week of new device
on the part of a Long Branch hotel
keeper to draw trade. Noticing large
crowd collected about bathing place
on which Were situated the bath
houses and pavilion of very ordinary
hotel. I journeyed thither to satisfy a
not unreasonable curiosity. The crowd
was engaged in looking at three young
women who had just emerged from the
water. The women were fairly hand
some and owned fine forms which
were somewhat fully exhibited. One
had full bathing costume of crimson,
the second wore pale blue, and the
other wore white. They displayed no
embarrassment as they walked along
with a multitude of eyes resting upon
them. The young women, was told,
were employed by the hotel keeper for
the purpose of attracting a crowd to his
bathing houses and pavilion.

kindergarten Methods Applied to Church
Debt Raising. -.

From the Christian Advocate.
That was novel method of taking a
subscription to pay church debt which
was employed by the First Congrega-
tional Church at Omaha, under the
lead Of the Rev. J. T. Duryea. When
the people gathered on Sunday morn
ing they saw before them blackboard
with a diagram which looked like one
side of a pyramid built of sixty-six
bricks, eleven in the lower row, ten in
the next above, and so on. On each
brick was written a number which
varied from 1000 on few about the
top to 25.. on those at the base. The
sum of these numbers was 1890, the
number of dollars called fer. The pas
tor explained the situation of the
church and the meaning Of the dia-
gram. He: said the stability of the
church depended for a foundation upon
large number Of small supporters,
represented by the bricks in the lower
course with the smaller numbers on
them. Cards large enough to cover
the numbers on the bricks were dis
tributed through the congregation.
Upon one of these cards each one wrote
the number Of dollars he would pay,
ond tho card uas cont forward and
tackled on the blackboard to cover the
same number there. Where the
amounts subscribed were small several
cards were tackled on one brick. In
forty minutes 40 cards were handed in,
covering all the numbers on the black
board, and making surplus Of SIS sub
scribers. ...

KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
Greensboro Herald-Journal. I

An important meeting of the County
Alliance will be held in Greensboro to-
day. AS will be seen from the card of
Capt. Smith, the president, among the
matters to be considered is the question
of the supply of cotton bagging.
The cotton season is now close at
hand, and it seems to us matter of
grave moment for provision to be made
for the covering of the cotton crop with
other than jute bagging: There is a
principal involved in this matter which
the farmers cannot afford to overlook.
They Instituted a war against the jute
trust because that monopoly was seek
