The private members are only amenable 10
the subordinate lodges in which they hold
their membership, and no other lodge has
any constitutional authority to declare any

been granted membership by the

law of Alliance etiquette is there that
would justify the state Alliance in delegat-

instructions to his agents that they will not
be allowed to contract for export -four on
the basis of 2l cents from the Mississippi
river unless the shipments are to be made

in by the line as commodity rate, and is in
effect over the flour lines out of Kansas
City.
The Kanawha and the Cumberland Gap
are still contracting for November ship
ments at the 2l-cent rate. The kanawha
has contracted for 10000 sacks of -four to be
shipped TO London this month on Il rate "A

washincton,. Farewell Address,

A vexed question has been raised con-
corning the authorship of Westinghouse
farewell address. At present it appears
that it was the joint production of Wash
ington, Madison and Hamilton. Washing
ton drew up rough draft of it about the
close of his first term, and requested Madi
son TO revise and change it where he
thought best He did SO; but it was not
used then. Afterward, near the close OF
his second term, Washington placed it in
the hands Of Hamilton and asked him to
redress it.
Thus it received the mental strain of
three Of our greatest Americans, yet it
breathes the spirit and embodies the sys
tenn of policy in which Washington had
acted throughout his administration
To quite An extent the counsels and
recommendations of this farewell address
have been adopted by our national manage
ment; and fortunate would it have been
for America II all had been adopted and
foilowed.-Chaut2uqua

there is something rotten in Den

of grain have been shipped from the New

Inent of the direct east bound-lines. Con-
ISOLATION is derived. however, from the

must now begin to seek other outlets to the

The Union Pacific is leading a movement
among the larger lines in the West to ad-
vance the prices on their dining-cars. The
company, it is claimed, is losing over $1,000 a
month on its dining-car department, and il
is proposed TO advance the price Of meals
from - cents to 81, which, with the same
number Of meals served, will net 5000
profit An effort was made some time ago
10 advance the price. but ii was blocked by
the Alton, which refused 10 charge more

a road which gives as good if not better
dining-car service than the majority of the
roads in the country. killed the move.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Nov. u.-As predicted in
these dispatches last night, between fifty
and sixty engineers and tiremen of the Belt
line struck work at noon to-day and al
though the road is not tied up, there being
some union men in the company's en-
ploy, very little is being done. AT con-
ference between Messrs. Sargent and Ar
thur and Superintendent Sharman of the
Belt line the former offered to waive the
point at issue provided there was extra pay
for work done during the dinner hour and
providing the company reinstated the seven
teen men discharged last week. This mat
ter is now under consideration by the Off
Gals Of the company, and probabilities are
that the strike will be short lived.
