An interview with Presid snt
Frank McGrath, published Dec.
10Th, would indicate that the ALI
ance has, for the present, decided
to drop the third party movement.
He says: "The agitation in the
South over the Lodge bill precludes
the possibility of any independent
movement at this time. While in
Alabama l investigated the condi-
ton as thoroughly as my limited
stay would permit, and / came to
the conclusion that more time was
needed. 1t will come about in
time, but that time is not this year."
By referring to another place in
this paper, our readers will see the
call for meeting to consider this
movement.

Word has been received that the
agents of Baron Hirsch, the famous
Jewish philantrophist of Paris, are
now visiting both the Argentine
Republic and Brazil for the pur-
pose of prospecting for the location
of colonies of Russian Jews, now
leaving the czar's dominion, in the
interest of those two South Ameri-
can republics. 1t is stated that
Baron Hirsch has agreed to pay
the expense of locating 30, 900 adults
in Brazil and 10000 in the Argen-
tine Republic, paying their passage
from Europe, providing those gov
ernments will give them lands

The meeting at Ocala demonstra-

The powerful organization which
it represented is to be feared by
politicians because it's principles
are clear, to the point, honorable
and necessary. Three millions of
voters are clamoring for their rights.
They ask that this government pay
some attention to their needs. They
call halt in regard to class legis-
lation. They demand that trusts
and monopolies be wiped out Of the
country. They want more money.

no longer fatten upon an interest

we have noticed. Heretofore the

The annual meeting of the ALI.
ance Council which took place al
Ocala week before last was attended
by delegates from upwards of thirty
States. The men composing that
assemblage were impressed with
the grave responsibilities that
rested upon them; and they well
knew that their deliberations would
be closely scrutinized by the outside
world. They knew that represen-
tatives from both of the great
political parties were on hand to
take advantage of any breaks made
by the convention. But if any
were there expecting to witness a
smash mp they must have been
previously disappointed.
The Alliance Council performed
its work in a straightforward man.
ner, looking neither to the right
nor left for public approval, but
suayely ahead of them.
The question of organizing a
third party, and which BY the way
seemed to worry so many people,
did not claim much of the attention
and consideration of the members
of the convention. This is the
dominent feature in Alliance circles
of the Northwest, and our brothers
of that section of our country have
burnt their boats behind them.
There the Republican party was in
an overwhelming majority and it's
short comings we're so glaring that
nothing short of square, bold, |
aggressive and hand to hand fight
could avail ought for good. The |
contest was fierce and hot. A Bit |
ter and an acrimonious campaign !
was inaugurated, where the passions |
OF men we're aroused to their fullest |
extent. The people won and they
will make use of their victory in
the future. In the northwest the
Republican party is rotten to the
core and voters are leaving it by
the thousands. Honest men want
no further utilization with it. It
has been fully tried and has been
found wanting. Its leaders are
corrupt. Rings, trusts, monopolies
and all manner of schemes have
found shelter in its tents.
Such is not the case here in the
South with the dominent party, and
he Supreme Council did not con-
,ider it necessary to sound revolt
The Democratic party has not been
ully and fairly tried, and its sins
lave been those of omission. The
Alliance will fight in the ranks and
will make itself felt. It will in
loctrinate its principles in the :
platforms and where it can do SO
vill nominate men who will carry
ut and enforce those principles.
n the south the political situation :
very different from that existing Z
n the north.
With us there is no necessity for 3
third party. We will never con- Q
emit to give up the claim that nine !.
snths of our people constitute the :,
democratic party. ii
The party is ours by tradition, q
y interest and by the rights of J,

A Waterway for Ships.

The report OF Il. +. Cooley, who
until fortnight past has been the
chief engineer of the Chicago
drainage commission, is made pub
lie. The report favors not a more
nayigable sewer, but policy which
looks ultimately to deep water from
Chicago to the gulf of Mexico as
well as to the Atlantic ocean. Mr..
Cooley declares that channel 20
feet in depth and 600 feet wide will
actually cost less than the 8-foot
depth and small width that the
federal government has been partly
undertaking. The reason given by
him is that an easier grade would
be taken by the larger channel and
this grade, by the peculiar conform
alton of the route, would render
unnecessary much Of the otherwise
expensive cutting through solid
rock. He says there is also an err
roneous impression thatthe possible
navigable depth of the Mississippi
is small. The ultimate attainable
depths from lake Michigan to the
gulf, he says, are limited only by
the supply of water which can be
drawn from the lakes. The reports
condemn as. destructive to exist
ing commerce any attempt to make
the Calumet river instead of the
Chicago river the connecting link
between the ship canal and lake
The climax of the re-
port is recommendation to aban-
don all thought of lake front har-
Dor at Chicago, except for the pur-
pose of refuge. In place of the
lake front he puts the practically
unlimited dockage of the Chicago
md Desplaines rivers, and the pro-
posed ship canal with additional
outlets to the lake through the
ieart of the city at Thirty-ninth
street, and also near Crosse point.
The idea is that by depositing ex-
awaited matter on the lake front, a
thousand or more acres of i'm
nensely valuable land would be
reated, the income of which would,
n the end, he says, relieve Chicago
{ all taxation for the great water
ray. Speaking of the commercial
of the project as
hole, Mr.. Cooley says: eff deep ,

On, via the great lakes to New Or

uctive heart of the continent is
