enter into any barter with the travelling agents
from the West it would be well To ascertain
whether they are able to deliver the goods they
sell.
There is some sagacty, OF strictly Demo
cratic sort shown in selecting Georgia for this
commercial operation. If the Western Allance
AGENTS had gone to some other States they would
nave found Democrats passionately hostile
through fear lest the Republican party might
prevail. But IN Georgia so completely nave
Democratic tactics suppressed the RepuOncah
vote that the Democratic party might DIVIDE
into two great parties, fighting each other 70

is now allowed to cast votes and to have them

show of rupture, il one is 10 be made, with any
influence upon Western opinion. The Repub-
leans of the West, beyond doubt, are shreWd
enough to know that after almost half the Dem
ocrats have gone over to the Alliance the Dem

" az before. No division in such State VIII
be interpreted by Western Republicans as proof
that the Alliance movement Is anything but the
trap they have found it.
The truth is that the Farmers Alliance at
the West is hopeleSsly divided by questions en-
tirely apart from the political prospects OF the
organization. More than half its members were
of the old Greenback or Labor variety, or Dem
ocrats who have Been regulators and fiat
money men for years. A minority OF Repub-
licans, who have been befOOled into voting with
these enemies of honest money, imagined that
they would have influence enough in the ALI
ance to control its action Instead, they find
thai the influence and the worst notions OF
Southern Democrats are supreme, and the Gin
cinnati Convention has offered them in its plat
form proposals against which even the Demo
cratic voters Of Mississippi have sense enough
TO revolt. The Western farmer wants to get

The total amount sought is about 100000, and

The dismissal of the libel against the schoOn-
er Robert and Minnie cannot be regarded as
having any close bearing upon the case Of the
Itata. Judge Ross holds that there is nothing
to show that the schooner was fitted out for the
purposes of war The status of the Itata is
different, for she belonged to the CHILEAN in
sureents and entered our ports for the purpose
of increasing their resources for carrying on
war against Bamaceda. Besides, she took to
her heels while actually in the custody of the
