why those north Of the city should be sc-

The Farmers, Experiment.
birmingham Age Herald.l


We shall watch the experiment of the
Alabama Farmers Alliance to pledge
100000 bales of cotton to an English
syndicate ut an advance Of thirty-fye
dollars per bale. This, we believe, is
the first effort of the farmers in this
country to corner an agricultural pro-
duct, and for that reason alone it is an in
teresting episode. We have our own opin-
ion as to the personnel and object of the
English syndicate, also to the policy
OF the scheme if it shall materialize. In
our opinion the cotton brokers of Liver
pool and New York compose the syndicate,
though they may for prudential reasons,
keep themselves out Of sight of the far
mers in the consummation of the trans
action; and it is pretty clear to our mind
that the farmers will stand mighty poor

servatism which reforms everything and
destroys nothing; which effects revolutions
without committing ravages, and which, as
NJ. Tainc remarks, has furnished the only
conspicuous instance in history of nation

the present--this conservatism, SO prac-

by furious and fanatical spirit of innova-

THE BATTLE GOES on.
Harrison Takes Sides With Blaine Against
Reed and Gives the Car n Black
Eye in Maine,
Washington Spcciul.


The fight between Clarkson and QUAY
for the craftsmanship of the national com
mittcc is not the only racket among the
republican leaders. Harrison's appoint
mcnt of Dow, collector OF the port ut
Portland, Ne, Blainc's candidate, and his
veto of some local bills has angcrcd Reed,
and the big speaker has put on his war
paint. There is no denying the fact that
the presidents action in vetoing thc
claims of Reeds friends is a slight No
excuse has been offered and it is doubtful
if any could be made for Reed has been
personally experimenting the claims of
Lawrence and Allen both OF the Portland
company and Charles p. Chautru. He has
made it his business to urge the payment
Of these claims, not only in congress, but
with the president personally, and his
turning down was crushing blow, which
was made all the more humiliating bv
the fact that out of the four vetoed meas
ures three of them are Reeds pet bills.
Blaine may not lie the big man he is
credited with being, but he is big enough
to give the speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives a setback. The members of the
Maine delegation feel very sorry over the
defeat of their idol, and when they get
back to the Pine Tree State they propose
to work the party papers for all they are
worth, in order to let the people see how
badly their leader has been treated By the
president. How is it that Blaine has
worked Harrison is not quite well under
stood, but certain it is that Blaine has
given Reed black eye through the prcsi-
dent. Reed is avowedly presidential
candidate, but Blaine is supposed to be
waiting for the nomination to come to
him and Quay is championing his cause.
Ciarkson is for Mckinley. and altogether
the little differences between the leaders
is likely to cause considerable friction
before the campaign Of 1892 rolls around.
