Professional Robber.

MACON, Ca, Nov pa rather unu-
sual occurrance took place at about 3
o'clock. in the Commercial hotel bar in
this city. a white man walked into the
bar, and drawing two pistols from his
pockets, demanded whatever money
might be in the house. He forced the
barkeeper to hold up his hands, while he
proceeded to look for the money. Be-
fore he had gotten behind the counter,
however, several negro walters ran into
the bar and the robber very promptly
covered them with his pistols, at the
same time commanding the barkeeper to
politely pass over the money, as he was
unable to get it himself. At this juno
ture two policemen came in, and the
would-be robber now languishes behind
iron bars, with four warrants against
him-tor attempt at robbery, larceny
after trust, carrying concealed weapons
and other things. The man gives his
name as c. w. Benton. and says he IS
from Michigan.

Died in Religious Meeting.

BIRMINGHAM. Nov. 20.-A religious
revival has been in progress several days
at colored Methodist Church in this
city. Yesterday Mary Davis and Rhoda
sAEright BECAME wildly excited by a kind
Of religious frenzy. They began shout
ing at a terrible rate and hugging each
other with all their strength. This was
kept up for some time, when the Wright
woman fell to the floor exhausted. The
other woman fell on her and continued
shouting. In falling the Davis woman's
knees struck Rhoda in the chest. In a
few minutes the congregation noticed
that Rhoda had ceased to shout and was
gasping for breath. Mary was pulled
off. but too late. Rhoda breathed her
last in a few minutes. The death caused
the widest confusion in the church
and broke uD the meeting.

How the Surplus Goes.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Gen. Raum,
commissioner Of pensioners, was to-day
before the sub-committe of the House
appropriations committee having in
charge the preparation of the pension
appropriation bill. The appropriation
for the fiscal year 1990-9l made at the
last session of Congress aggregated $91,-
090,761. Gen. Raum estimates that the
deficiency for the present fiscal year will
amount to between SD, 100000 and $3333,-
100000. He bases this estimate on pay
ments made On account of pensions in
previous years and on the amount paid
out during the first quarter Of the pres
ent fiscal year. For the fiscal year lS9l-
81 Gen. Raum estimates that Sl33. l5,-
0S3 Will be required on account Of the
payment Of pensions. The appropria
tions for the fiscal year of 1S90-9l for
examining surgeons is $1,0OO,O0O, and
Commissioner Raum asks an increase
of 100000 OH this item for the new lis
cal year For clerk hire at eighteen diff
ferent pension agencies the appropria-
ton for the present year is $S230,0OO.
The Commissioner ask an increase in
this item for the new fiscal year Of $780,

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-The Repub-
lican leaders in congress are SAID to have
prepared a new reapportionment bill.
but it will not be offered in the house
until after the holidays. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Porter. superintendent of the
census, and Speaker Reed prepared the
bill, and it provides for 332 members Of
the house. being exactly the nunbar IN
the present house. The Dunncl bill is
so unfair that Reed came to the conclu-
sion that new one would have to be
framed. 1t is understood that the new
measure gives Maine only three men,
bers instead Of four that she now has,
but partisan advantage is gained IN
causing Democratic states to lose men,
bers. and gains are given to Republican
states Of the west in larger proportion
than accorded the growing Democratic
states.
Congressman Peters. Of Kansas, who
is one Of the Republican members OF the
house committee on appropriations: re-
turned to the city today. lie was not 4
candidate for reelection. and, therefore,
was not in :ila wreck when the recent
''smash-up" occurred. He says the
Alliance people undoubtedly have a ma
iority orthe Kansas legislature, and that
if they make up their minds to stick SOL
idly together, they can elect their man
:or senator to succeed Ingalls,. The
margin, however, is small, and, if the
Alliance men do not stand together, In
gals may possibly secure a reelection,
as five or six Of the Alliance men claim
that they are not pledged, and profess to
be ardent admirers Of Mr.. 1rgalls.
Judge Peters says that the result in Kan
sas was general surprise, and that no
one had any idea that so many of the
Republican candidates would be defea5-
ed. Everywhere that ingalls, spoke he
had the most enthusiastic audiences APP
parently and tremendous in size, but
the farmer vote was secretly marshall
led, and the Republican leaders did not
know how they were going to vote.

THE ALLIANCE.
A Dream That May Lead to the White

a Dream That May Lead to the White
House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The con-
gress Of the National Farmers Alliance
will open the first week in December at
Ocala, Fla.
One of the principal questions to be
considered will be the policy of the or
ganization for 1892 At national head
quarters in this city, that policy has al.
ready received consideration. Some OF
the leaders in this movement, encour-
aged by recent successes, figure out the
possibility of third party victory on a
national scale. The manner IN which
they do it is interesting, if not wholly
convincing.
1t is actual Alliance headquarters fig
uring, too, and not, as most readers
would suppose, an emanation from a
newspaper Office. They classify the
states and the present electoral vote as
follows:
SURELY REPUBLICAN IN 1892.
Maine 6, Vermont, Pennsylvania 80,
Ohio23. Total 63.
SURELY DEMOCRATIC.
New York 36, New jersey 9, Delaware
3, Maryland S, Texas 13, Kentucky 8,
Total IS.
SURE FOR THE PEOPLES PARTY.
North Carolina II, South Carolina Q,
Georgia II, Kansas 9. Nebraska 5, Mich
igan l3, Mississippi 9, North Dekota 3,
South Dekota 4, Minnesota Z. Total 81.
GOOD FIGHTING GROUND.
Alabama 10, Arkansas Z, California S,
Colorado 3, Florida4, Illinois -, Indiana
Is, Iowa 13, Louisiana s, Missouri Is,
Tennessee y, Virginia II, West Virginia
6, Wisconsin II. Total 147.
The Alliance argument is that IN all
the states classified as fighting ground
the farmers and laborers' organizations
are, or will be, strong enough to hold the
balance of power.
AN ALLIANCE MANS VIEWS.
An Alliance congressman-elect from
the west puts the plan in this way:
In states where the Democratic party
is in the minority the Peoples party will
fuse with the Democrats, each of the
parties in the fusion to have an equal
share of electoral votes. The same will
be done with the Republicans in the
states where they are in the minority.
That will insure as full and fair vote,
north, south, east, west. The probabili
ties Of a third party coming into the field
will confuse the old time politicians.
No one can so easily determine in ad-
vance the possibilities of the future on
that line as those who are in the secret
counsels of the Alliance. Therefore, the
advantage in such a triangular contest
will be ours"

elect successor to Associate Justice
MCGOWAN of the Supreme Court, and
to Judge Norton of the Seventh Cir
cult. Notwithstanding some little talk
about change in both these places, 1t
may be considered practically certain
that each of the incumbents Will be re-
elected.
The death of Ex-Governor Bonham
left a vacancy in the Railroad Com
mission. The only name thus far SER
iously mentioned in connection with
the successor is that of the Rev. }. y.
Sigh, formerly Senator from New
berry, and an active supporter of the
Farmers Movement from its very in
auguration. 1t is by no means I'M
probable that the Legislature will re-
organize the Commission, both as to its
powers and its personnel. There is
strong feeling all over the State that
the present Commission is unnecessary,
and that its legitimate work may be
effectively done by single officer. If
the Legislature take this view there
will be but one Commissioner to elect;
While should the bureau be reorsaniZ-
ed without any reduction, there Will be
three places open.
For Superintendent of the Peniten-
tiary, the most prominent candidate IS
Ex-senator W. J. Talbert of Edgefeld,
while Mr.. y. w. Brooker. of the same
county, and Mr.. NJ, J. Sarratt, of
Union, are said also to be in the field.
Thetwo latter are members of the Board
of Directors Of the institution. 1t IS
not vet announced Whether the pres
ent incumbent, Col. Thos. j. Llpscomb,
will stand for reelection.
LEGILLATION
But the people are more Interested in
the actual work of law-making than in
the scramble for Office. The average
voter dosen't run for Office. He can't
vote for some of the places at all. He
is more interested in leglslation-ln the
passage of measures which shall re-
duce taxes while properly maintaining
our State government and our instltu-
tions. On this line the Legislature will
have its hands full. The proper ;ld-
justment Of salaries, the better assess
ment and collection OF taxes, the I'M
provement Of the road laws, the proper
maintenance OF the common schools,
the cheapening of the county govern
meut, the increase of the States reven-
ue from the phosphate beds, the more
efficient inspection of fertlliZers--theSe
are some OF the more i'm mportant mat
ters that demand the attention Of the
General Assembly. Then the greater
part of the State debt, about to mature,
must be funded-and this, if possible,
at a greatly reduced rate Of interest. y
mere glance over the field OF work
thus outlined suf1ices to show that our
lawmakers are going to have their
hands full. The important matters, in
their different stages, will be duly not
ed in this correspondence.
