WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Advices from
the Southern States show that the Farm
ers' Alliance movement is making great
headway, and the Democrats are at last
beginning to be apprehensive. A Stars
Charleston, S. c., special says: The days
of Senator Buffers service in the United
States Senate are numbered if the Sub
Treasury Alliance men control the Leg
islature which will elect his successor,
and in the light of recent developments
it looks very much as though they will.
Another fact is very apparent. The
Democratic Alliance men of this State.
whether advocates or opposed o.the Sub
Treasury scheme, are all opposed to the
nomination of Cleveland. and do not
hesitate to say that they will not vote for
him if nominated. An anti Cleveland
delegation will probably be sent from
South Carolina to the next National
Democratic Convention.
Governor Ben Tillman, Congressman
George ID. Tillman and Senator Butler
are on the stump now, engaged in ad-
dressing crowds at the Alliance picnics.
which are being held all over the State
In these speeches Governor Tillman saws
that Cleveland betrayed the Democratic
party on the silver question when he was
President; that if he had exerted the in
fuence of his office the people might have
had free coinage.
But suppose he could not have had the
bill adopted by a three-line order ?" says
Governor Tillman. He could have com
pelled the Secretary of the Treasury to
coin -, 600 of silver per month. But
he would not do it, and he viii never be
elected President again by our votes"
a Montgomery, Ala, special says
There seems to be good ground for the
assertion by President Polk, of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, that his organ
lzation was now addressing itself to
cleaning out'' the United States Senate.
The Alliance leaders and speakers are
waglng war against Senator Morgan of
this State, and openly declare that he will
be defeated for reelection by candidate
whom the Alliance will suggest.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The Liberal cleo
toral executive hardly knows how to treat
the extraordinary crop of labor candi-
dates finding acceptance in Radical con-
stltuencies. The length of the list of
names already adopted threatens to give
new character to the general election.
The men selected in the labor interest
chiefly represent trades unions, though a
number are also identified with social
ism. If the movement succeeds it will
place in the next Parliament a COM
pact phalanX of thirty labor members de-
.termlned to make questions in labor in
terests dominant over all others after
home rule is settled. Attempts to draw
Gladstone to pronounce in favor of sew
eral Of these labor candidates were met
with the following response, especially
referring to the agricultural laborer:
You may rest assured the Liberals,
who in the teeth of the House of Lords
procured q franchise for the laborer. did
not thus arm him for nothing. They
hope to do him full justice, bringing local
government to his door and securing him
freer access to the use of the land"
The Liberals and Conservatives alike
interpret this reply as promising the
creation of parish councils on popular
basis, thus sapping the domination of
local landlords and persons. This change
would effect an immense practical reform
in English rural life.
A number of exceptional meetings of

says the country is in dangerous state
OF ebullition. Many large cities are ready
to burst into sedition, and will be difficult
to control. The disaffected have lost that
wholesome respect for British authority
which was sufficient for three decades to
keep peace. Any deliberate attempt to
foment open sedition may readily sue
ceed. The prospect is altogether gloomy.
According to high official in the India
office the Government is aware of tenden-
cles to disorder in the great cities, but is
satisfied with the general position.
