Progress of the Alliance.
rFrom tho Pcc-Doe Iudcx.l


the work of organization was con
tinued, and is now--Sth February,
1890, planted III every county in
the State. The planting under the
direction Of your executive commit
tee has been done at the minimum
cost, and this work will likely be
very nearly completed before your
second annual meeting in July next.
Our desperate condition, iinan-
cially, rendered our organization pos
sible, and to the bcttcrmcnt of that
condition our greatest efforts have
been put forth. Last year the efforts
at cooperative trade was by Sub
and County Alliances securing for
themselves the best terms possible.
The results obtained while more or
less satisfactory, were very unequal,
the saving effected being estimated
at from 8 to 33 per cert on last years
purchases, dependent largely or
mainly on the financial condition Of
the different sections of the State,
tho larger saving being only possible
on the credit system of purchasing;
and attention is especially invited to
this rs showing how ruinous has
been that system, and as ruinous
morally rs financially. Let us not

Cost OF the Convention.

The Convention is composed of 1874
members, who receive four dollars per
day, making 1886 per day, or $49,24O
for the 30 days. The printing, sta
tionery, gas light and incidental ex-
pcnse will amount to at least $4,000
for the session. Mileage coming aud
going, at ten cents per mile, will aver
age about twenty dollars per member,
making 1880. The cost of holding
the election in this county, which is
about an average county, was $l11.40,
making total of s8,0t7s0. Submit
ting the Constitution to the people for
ratification will cost S8,017.s0 more.
This makes q grand total Of $50, 0,s3560.
This Is the actual cost to the tax
payers, except what II cost the State
whilst discussing the call in the Legis-
lature, issuing proclamation for the
Convention, and commissioning Off
cials to hold it.
But that Is not oil. Delegates TO the
nominating State and county conven-
tions paid out large sums, and cleo
tioneering expenses were heavy. The
grand total will not fall far short of
800, ,000--Brandon Republican.

A Revolution In Printing.

The successful introduction of type
setting machines into q number Of
newspaper offices has greatly stimu-
lated their competitors, and carly In
the autumn the New York Sun, Times,
World, and other papers win COM
mence their use. II Is also said that
the Herald will employ them. Proba-
bly, one-half Of tho one thousand COM
positors engaged upon the morning
dalios will be dropped.
II Is now announced that Theodore
L. Do Vinne, the printer Of the Ccn-
tury magazine, has completed arrange
ments to have bis typesetting done by
machinery. Upon reliable authority
II Is stated that syndicate of book
publishers in New York have likewise
made arrangements to put fifty or a
hundred typesetting machines into q
cooperative Office, where all the body
matter of cheap publications turned
out In Now York will be set up. This
arrangement, which will be in
working order upon the first of next
January, is likely to increase the an
nual output of novels by one hundred
per cent and reduce tho already low
price one-half.
The announcement that the Century
magazine is to be set up by machinery
following SO closely upon the action OF
several publishers of New York daily
newspapers, who have made arrange.
ments TO introduce. the Rogers and
Mcrgenthaler machines into their com
posing rooms this fall, will be ol
momentous interest to the printers
A member of New York Typograph.
ical Union No. 6 says.
"Of course, some members Of the
Union are a little skeptical a. TO the
benefit these machines will be to the
followers of the craft, but the whole
history Of labor-saving machinery
teaches us that nothing that has yel
been invented that has lessened the
need of good workmen. When type
setting machines have been introduced
into every newspaper Office in tht
country, Il will lessen the cost of com.
position to such an extent that papers
which now contain eight pages will
have twelve, and four-page papers will
be increased to eight. The introduc.
tion Of the machines will be good
thing for frst-class men, but It may
injure those who make a practice OF
tramping oil over the country, work
ing only one or two nights at q time

Full Grown Bananas.


A representative of the Clarion
Ledger accompanied Prof j. II.
Dobyns to bis home this morning
where be received an occular demon
stration of the fact that under proper
conditions and attention, bananas will
grow to perfection in this climate.
Last Spring one year ago Prof. Dobyns
planted a single bulb or sprout on the
south side of bis residence, having first
made the place very rich, with proper
fertilizers. In one year the plant put
out four shoots, which grew about ten
feet high, In the Fall the tops of these
shoots were cut of, and the plant pro-
tected with straw, ETC., from the Win
try blasts. This Spring the covering
was removed and the plants began
vigorous growth-not only the four
old stems, but several new ones COM
ing and growing rapidly, until they
are all now one great mass of the
grandest foliage, rich, dark green and
thrifty. Three Of the last year stems
matured big bunch of fine, large ba-
nanas, which are still green, but larger
and finer than can be found on the
Jackson market, and there Is no
doubt they will ripen nicely when cut
Off the stem. Prof Dobnys is natur-
ally very proud Of bis banana crop,
and takes pleasure In showing II and
aud explaining tue manner Of its
growth. Clarion-Ledgcr.

chicago and Her whlte Elephant.
New Orleans Picayune.l

The eagerness with which Chicago
bid for the great fair of 1899, when the
question Of selecting a location was
before Congress, led everybody to be-
lievs that, not only was a site available
and selected in the event of securing
the prize, but that the prelimiuarles
were all mapped out and a mode Of
procedure decided on. Although many
months have passed since the contest
was decided, 1t is not departing far
from the truth. to say that nothing has
actually been accomplished.
Although full clerical force has
been kept under pay, and large sums of
money have been expended, the very
first essential, the choice of site, has
not yet been settled. Until that matter
Is decided beyond all question, there is
no possibility ofany real progress being
made, and the longer so important q
preliminary is postponed the more
problematical will the success Of the
whole enterprise become.
The great difficulty in the selection
Of the site appears to be the conflict Of
selfish interests which 1t Is sought to
make the great fair subserve, and,
although the directors and commission
have been wrestling with the problem
for months, the solution appears to be
"a far distant as ever. The local Board
of Directors has decided in favor Of q
dual site, the fair to be divided between
two localities situated miles apart, with
prominent railroad corporation to
furnish the means Of rapid transit be-
tween the two sections of the show.
The Board Of Commissioners, how
ever, has disagreed with the local
Board on this subject, and has declared
lie belief in a single site.
Here is a conflict of opinion II not Of
authority which is calculated to mud
die matters worse than ever. Alto
gether Chicago has discovered that she
has considerable of white elephant
on her hands, and it is very widely
whispered that very many of her citi-
zcns would gladly welcome the aban-
donment Of the whole scheme.

Mr.. Georges speech.


The Commonwealth prints to-day I
yer batim report Of the speech deliv
cred In the convention last Tuesday by
Mr.. George, in advocacy of the report
of the committee on franchise and ap.
portpnment. IL was a great occasion
and 1t was great speech. In truth II
may be said that the man and the oc.
casion met.
The speech has not been printed be.
fore in Its entirety. IL will prove its
own answer to carping criticisms, and
vindicates the motives of its author.
The Commonwealth Is not the par
tisan of Mr.. George. 1t may or may
not-should he be a candidate-sup-
port him for reelection to the Senate.
In the fullncss of time II will take that
course which may seem best for its
people. It'protests, however, against
the aspersions of Mr.. Georges motives
and tho fight that has been covertly
made on him as unworthy of those en-
gagged in it, and untimely in the high
est degree. when patriotism should be
paramount to self-seeking.--Common-

THE PRIZE FI6HfNG BUSINESS.

A sound mind in sound body Il
much 20 be desired for all. and to thi.
end we favor all athletic exercises and
sports that eau be reasonably used tc
supplement the mental qualifications.
But mashed nose, a bLnged eye
and a human vissge mutilated out oi
its proper divine likeness, do not con-
duce either to the elevation of the
mind or the perfection OF bodily
health and beauty, while the spectacle
Of two half-naked men mauling each
other black and blue, with all the sur
roundings and aecompaniments of OBJ
scene brutality. is far from calculated
to inspire to thoughts and sentiments
ennobling and Purifying.
But that there Is in the community
widespread and intense desire to wit
ness such demorslizing scenes is attest
ell by the transactions of Tuesday
night in connection with the prizs
fight in this city, between Carroll and
Bowen. In addition TO the excessive
ly overcrowded mass of men who
packed the building where the contest
took place, there was an enormous
mob of people who could not gain ad-
mission, but who filled the streets and
invaded private premises in the imme-
diate peighborhood, setting at defiance
all law and all attempts of the author
tiles to maintain order.
Naturally the occasion brought out
to the scene all the cohorts of hood
lumism, but the disorder was aRgrava-
ted by the fact that the managers of
the exhibition had sold tickets Of ad.
mission vastly beyond the capacity of
tho hall to contain the purchasers, and
these added to the disorder by loud
outcries of protest and denunciation
at being deprived Of their just rights.
In the crowd thus excluded and filling
the streets aud precincts around the
exhibition hall were to be seen men OF
every condition and class found in the
city, while State and city functionsries
wero by no means wanting to swell
the surging and clamorous masses.
When we consider that the entiro
affair was had upon the express license
and permission OF the city authorities
and under the sanction Of the laws of
the State, we begin TO wonder II the
city and the State are the same in
which not many months ago tho State
militia were put undor arms and set In
battle array to prevent possible
prize fight somewhere In the swamps
Of Pearl river,
We have no desire to Interfere with
the legitimate diversions of the people,
but all the considerations Of morality,
common honesty, public order and
protection to persons, rights and prop
erty demand that the slugging shall
be done where all the ticket-holders
can sec the show, and that few
thousand additional police officers
shall be sworn in TO SOC that the mob
gets all 1t is entitled to, and that
special seats shall be reserved for all
public ofiicials.-Picayune.

THE RAUM PENSION CASE.

Washington, Sept. 15.-In the Raum
investigation to-day, Mr.. Cooper asked
the Commissioner whether there was
sub-company of the Universal Re.
frigerator Company in this district
The Commissioner objected to going
into the matter, but at the request Of
the chairman proceeded TO answer Mr.
Cooper to the effect that steps had
been taken looking to the formation
Of sub-company; that stock had
been subscribed; that Bradley Tanner
(who sat at his desk1 was secretary Of
the company; that Tanner had SUBJ
scribed for one share of stock, so as to
be able to act es incorporation, but that
no money had been paid in; that the
organization was in fact In chaos as yet
Tanner was absolutely the only Pen,
sion Office employe interested In the
company. The parent company and
witness (who owned nine-tenths of the
district rights were to receive pay
ment for the franchise in S500000 ol
stock; but the arrangement had moi
yet been ratified by the parent comps.
ny. The interposition of Mr.. Cooper's
resolution had stopped the negotia-
tions. Witness has withdrawn from
the field and stopped selling State
rights until he could by the erection
of practical working plant show the
value of the patent.
Mr. Cooper said that If the Commits
sioner proposed to exploit the value
Of the invention be wanted to prove
that Il was fraud, but the COMMITTEES
declined to 60 into the matter.
The Commissioner further stated
that Mr.. Tanner was not expected to
pay for his share and that the same
was true of the other gentlemen who
had organized the sub-company. A
few shares Of stock had been given
them to enlist their names as was Gus
tomavy In the organization Of such
companies. The chiefs Of various di.
visions In the Pension Office were then

Mr.. Lewis next introduced the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, Gen. Rapm has to-day ad-
mitted before this committee that
Bradley Tanner Is the owner Of stock
in the Columbia Refrigerator Compa-
ny for the purpose Of introducing and
establishing In the District of Colum-
bia the patent Of the Universal Refrig-
orator Company; and,
Whereas, the said Bradley Tanner
has been promoted in the Pension
Office by the said Gen. Raum; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved, That 1t Is proper and
competent for this committee to hear
such testimony as Will tend to prove
the character Of this enterprise and
the value of the stock thereof.

fused 10 adopt this resolution.

The pale-gray was the color We favor

on pearl or yellow"
These new postal cards will be the
handsomest things of the sort ever Of

gentlemen or children at the uniform
rate of one cent each and twelve cent

will be allowed to use them. The
rumor that the cards we're to be scent
